has the most genuine and memorable
smile. I love reading about her
entries as a teacher, the trials and
tribulations she goes through on a
daily basis. I'm glad we can easily
share these life experiences with
eachother. Love ya jo!
to look back on from those trips we
made basically weekly to NYC to club
all night and to "deal E"..=p hehe.
She's an awesome person to talk to, not
only will she listen to your problems
but she'll give advice to try to solve
them. Miss you lots! Come back to
Boston soon =)
well in the past, but I've always seen
her around and I've always inherently
known that she's a cool person, but I
never really knew why. Well Joanne
left me a really good testimonial a
long, long time ago (yeah, I'm just now
returning the favor, I kind of suck
with that stuff.) I remember that she
gave me that testimonial a couple of
days after a certain event happened and
I was feeling kind of crappy and
misunderstood. Evidently her powers of
perception are very good and she was
able to notice and understand my
situation. She gave me a testimonial
that included all of the things that I
kind of needed to hear at the time. It
was a very sweet gesture. I realized
now that Joanne is mad cool because
she's just good like that... Plain and
simple. She's also got a no-nonsense
kind of vibe going about her that I
definitely dig. I know that she's got
many other awesome qualities that
hopefully, someday I'll discover. I
just know that she'd make a really good
friend to anyone. Stay in contact with
this one, she's a keeper. Oh yeah,
when she dances, she grinds like she's
trying to start a fire with her butt
and your leg. Well at least I told her
it was my leg. (I don't think that she
believed me.) See you around Jo.
bout this gurl? really!!! wat can i
say? haha....i just met her like a
year ago and damn we had a good time
just chillin and bonding! trying to
catch up to the last
22years....hahaaa......then all of the
sudden....BAAAAM....i found her again
here at this friendsta thingy....and
there u go.....u can't run away from
your cuzzziiiee ME! but u kno wat to
do when u need a tan or
sumting....just holla at me here in
MIA and the rest is history...peace....
my SSSP mentor at Brandeis. *sigh*
Being the freshie I was, I needed some
ass-saving several times throughout
the year...thank goodness Jo was
there. I might still be stranded in
Boston if it wasn't for her. =D Jo
is an extremely hard worker who is
passioinate about living life and is a
greeeeat person to know. I also love
watching her liondance. :) :D
*muuuaah Jooo :)
club. We were the Asian cast members,
and actually had oodles more talent
than those other fools who were our
peers; Britney, Christina,
Justin...but somehow Joanne decided
she wanted to be a teacher and I
decided to go for law. but if we had
decided to go into show biz; watch
out. The world would be awash in our
CDs, movies, and mugs (faces) on
coffee mugs
guess, as an older sister, you realize
that your little sister is not little
anymore when she starts giving you
advice!! She's so cute, isn't she? I
think the photo is great! I feel so
lucky to have such a smart and sassy
little sib!!
that most of you don't already know? =)
haha, this girl has something a lot of
us lack...PASSION. SHe has a passion
for everything she does and she works
hard to attain all her goals. How many
of us can say that? Plus...she's in
Teach for America, how cool? She's
definitely a good influence on
America's youth.
