Today is Saturday. We had a tournament in Riverside – actually at Chino High & San (something) High. We were late to the first game at Chino – so we played for two quarters – we lost 2-3. The next game at San-something we won.
I went to Marks house – around 7:15 – I called him first to ask and I told him that my mom could drop me off but his parents will have to take me home. He told me he asked and it was alright. So I went over there. We watched tv for a while. We watched Dana Carvey on Comedy Central. He is so funny – when we were watching him we laughed so much – I never noticed it before – but I did tonight. Mark laughs like a freaking gay dork. I am sorry to say it but he does. So I tried not to say anything about it. Then we started kissing. I love him so much & I love to kiss him – so I can’t complain. While we were kissing – he suddenly looks up & out through the cracks of his door. He didn’t see the lights on – so he gets up and starts telling me that I might have to call my mom so she can come pick me up. I got kinda mad- but not really at hime because his parents would think that I would come over for their son & then take advantage of their hospitality. Mark is like a big kid. He is afraid of everything & gets hurt easily. I don’t think he would stand up for me. I am sleepy…

Today is Friday the 13th. It has been a good day. I came home from a football game- Cathedral City vs. Palm Springs- We won- go CC mob.
I went to practice then to the game. I was with Mark. I <3 him too. He is my wonderful bunny. We’ve kissed so much- it makes feels so good & right to me. I just want to be with him night & day. He is the sweestest guy. I am planning on staying w/him for a very long time. I’m tired- I’ll write more in the morning
--------
Do you ever feel alone? I do – Even when I’m talking-to him- I feel ignored maybe its just me- but I have my high moments & many low ones- I just want to cry myself to sleep-
Sleep Sleep Sleep Sleep Sleep Sleep Sleep Sleep Sleep Sleep Sleep Sleep Sleep Sleep

It was November 7, 1998 44 minutes ago. It was also homecoming. I went with Mark. I don’t think his dad likes me. I am not sure why- at the polo game vs. Palm Springs I saw his dad there & waved & screamed HI! He didn’t say anything so – I stopped. Mark told me his dad takes that kinda stuff seriously- so I don’t know what to do.
I had a really good time tonight. We went to the dance & slow danced. Rugby & Ashley, T.J. and Olivia, Matt & ?, and Mark and me were sitting at the same table. We took pictures- they were cool- I guess- I hope. We were kissing (French) at the table & then TJ took a picture of us it surprised me- but it felt really good. Mark is a great guy. I hope I do well in waterpolo. I wish I will do well- I want to be a star polo player so I must practice as much and as hard as possible.
Mark took me out to dinner after the dance. We were supposed to go to Las Casuelas Nuevas, but his parents took us to TGI Friday’s instead. I ate the Jack Daniel’s salmon-& Mark had the baby back ribs. I like him so much. He is so nice- He bought me a corsashe and roses. I want to tell him I <3 him, but I can’t gather up my feelings to tell him.
I am worried about school. I am doing well in all of my classes accept English. I need to study harder! Please help me!

Today is Homecoming! In about 16 hours. Well, I got home about 45 minutes ago from a CCHS football game. I went with Mark & Justin & Ashley. Before that I was at H2O practice. It lasts for 3 hours! We swim too mucho!
Well, I like kissing Mark. He is a really nice guy. He hasn’t pushed me to do anything I didn’t want to do yet. I frenched kissed him today. In the car before we went to scoops, I leaned over to kiss him & he was opening his mouth to get his tongue out.
& the second time was at my house- or in front of it. I was going to say goodbye & I hugged him and kissed him – with my tongue. He was eating a mint- which was a very good idea.
We had fun at the football game. There was a homecoming parade & Sarah something won homecoming queen. The floats were so good except the FRESHMAN one.
I <3 Mark- but I can’t tell him that yet, because I’m not sure how he would take it.
Practice is tireing. My muscles ache because of it. I am tired-late

I got home a few um…maybe an hour ago. I went to the float meeting at Tara’s house at about 12:30pm. I saw Steve again. He was doing alright & we talked for a long time. He asked about Mark & I answered really honestly. Cassie was there- we picked her up on the way to the meeting. She had to leave around 2:44pm to go babysitting. I saw Derek Gallerani there. He was with Mitchell Ramero. Derek was Shaun Mckesson’s friend. Shaun hasn’t called so I kinda lost faith in him. Then I called Mark, to see if he wanted to come over & join in on the boredom. So his dad came over & dropped him off. He stayed- he went to the wrong house at first. But I found him. He helped with the float & I was really happy. Then when it was over at 5:00pm- I went outside & sat on the curb with Mark. I could tell that he wanted me to kiss him because he- didn’t make a move on me or force me, but he was like saying it in his body language. I called my mom & she wasn’t home so I asked if I could stay over at his house for a while because she wasn’t there. So I went to his house and was in his room. We started watching t.v.- he showed me his suit for homecoming. He is going to look so cute. I like him to death! We were watching WWF- its wrestling. He liked it so I guess I could stand it- right? We started kissing & holding each other. I could hold him all night if I wanted to. He told me that he couldn’t sleep because of me & I told him that he shouldn’t feel that way. We had dinner too. I had dinner with him and his family for the last two days- I feel special huh?
Well, I’m going to hit the hay!

I just came home about 50 minutes ago. Everyone was asleep! I think I’m going to be in big trouble in the morning. Well- I was out trick or treating with Mark, Cassie, & Justin. We first went to Mark’s house- to meet his parents. Actually his stepmom & his dad. They are really nice people. I saw his two little sisters- they were so cute! Um, then Justin came & we went to pickup Cassie at her house. From there we went to Jesse’s house in the Cathedral Canyon Cove. Emily, Jessica, Jesse, & Sarah were over there. Mark hates Emily. They invited us to come & tried to ditch us in the car. I was surprised how Mark took it. After that we drove & followed them to Tara’s house. Mark & I were holding hands up to the door & I asked Tara if Steve Garcia was there & she said yeah- so I yelled- “Steve doesn’t want to come out & say hi?” Then he came out and just stood there like a freak. When Mark turned his back- Steve was like- you got one! I’m like-yeah. Then Jesse, & Emily- The whole gang left without us- so we ditched them & went back to the cove to get our stuff. Mark& I were in the back seat & holding each other. I like him a lot! So we went back to an area close to there & started trick or treating. It was fun. Then we went to Scoops- Mark had cookies & cream ice cream…no one else had anything. Then Justin had to go pick up his mom at the restaurant…so he dropped us all off at Cassies house. Tiffany Menini & her group of buddies come over. She asked me if he was my boyfriend & I said yeah. So we went inside the house- she came a few minutes later. When she left we went upstairs to watch tv in cassie’s room. Mark was sitting on the bed & I was laying on his lap massaging his ankle while he was holding
& caressing my left hand. We watched South Park first. Then just switched it everywhere. Justin came & stayed for a bit. Then it was getting really close to 11:00pm so I went to leave. Tiff was outside so she came over & talked to me. I acted nice and said goodbye. Mark was holding me tight because I was cold in the car. He said he didn’t want to leave me-my head was in his lap- so I looked up at him & he & I kissed. It felt good. Then I reached my house & told him to wait because I wanted to check if Mom was home or not. She & Nhan were sleeping – I went back outside- said bye to Justin- hugged Mark & kissed him again. I don’t think he enjoyed it. But the future kisses are going to be so much better. I’m tired! Later!
<3 always- Mylinh

I got home about at 10:00pm from the football game in LaQuinta. I went with Mark and Justin. It was fun- I guess. He called me right after his practice & asked me if I wanted to go- so I asked my mom, which she just had arrived. She said yes – in a – “I’m going to make you guilty way.” So Mark said he wanted to meet my mom- so I introduced them & she was totally not open so I went. The game was alright- Mark was holding me like almost the whole time. When we drove there he sat in front & when we came back he sat in the back with me. I was happy. We went to Carls Jr and he and Justin ate…I just had a coffee. Mark paid for me in the game & coffee- so I feel pretty damn special. I actually had a great time.
When I got home I watched the tube for a bit & was really tired. I brushed my teeth & then went to my mom’s room. I was going to ask her If I could go to Mark’s house around 4pm. She said yes- & then started talking about me changing & how I hate her & Nhan. She said how I say I’m stressed- but I really CAN’T because I don’t work or support her and work as hard as she does. I’m thinking- well duh! I am not supposed to work yet! Then she says my stress was about boys- which is not true at all! School is my number 1 priority now. Mark is my third. Then she talks about me meeting his parents & them thinking that mom is easy because she is letting me go now with Mark trick-or-treating. So then she said that she needs to know his parents & they have to call her first before I can go on any dates with him. She said she cares & understands how I am changing because ALL teenagers go through a phase that makes them hate their mom & house. That really made me mad because she judges me. How could she think that her own daughter would hate her mother & the house she lives in. I was mad. She thinks- because I get mad at Nhan- it is because I am changing & being bad! I couldn’t believe my ears at all! Then it was on respect, her job- how it is stressful & my problems arent’ stressful at all. I’m getting tired. I think my mom is going through a mid-life crisis.

I hope Mark & I stay together for a long happy time.

Um…two days ago I started going out with Mark. He asked me to homecoming on Monday & I said yes right away. I am totally stoked out. When he asked me it was when lunch was just over and he was walking me to P.E. He said- “Are you going to homecoming?” & I said – “Yeah-maybe” - & then he said/asked –“Do you want to go with me?” & I said SURE!! & Yesterday morning I just grabbed his hand when he was walking me to my 1st period class- Biology. I just couldn’t stand walking w/him and not touching him. So I made the 1st move. I wasn’t nervous- I just did it. Then at brunch I found him & held his hand & all of our friends were totally surprised, but I was happy. Then when brunch was over, when he was walking me to 3rd period- he asked me-“So are we officially going out?”- & I said “Yes- If it is okay with you”- & he said- Yes. So that’s that! I like him so much. He is so sweet. Tomorrow is Halloween and I am going to his house with some other friends to eat dinner & go trick or treating. I talk to him on the phone, like every night. He makes me feel so good.
I am not sure my mom is going to like it. She is going through a lot- well anyways- I will write you later!
A really happy person-
