HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY PIO!
If you asked anyone about Pio they would tell you that he was the nicest guy in the whole world. You know what? it's the truth.
I've known john micheal pio roda for about a year and a half.....but already I consider him one of my bestest friends. He's one of those "i will drop anything and everything just to make sure my friends are safe" kind of guy. Our friendship grew everytime we've saved one another from third wheeling (mostly me saving him), after our trip to Victoria, our road trip to Calgary, our trips to the states, xanga message swaps when we were bored at the office, and after the creation of "the circle" (how highschool, but I still love it! haha)
Pio is one of those guys who does everything on "the list" He took Char and I out for a 500 meal at La Terazza....for no reason!, he bought anne, char and I roses on Valentines, he treated me out to a dinner on Valentine's day, he is ALWAYS there to listen.....when I'm having a bad day pio will pick up on the first try, he hates when the girls have to bus and he'll always drive to where we are and drive us home if necessary....and none of us live in the same city as him!, I know that if i ever need approval of something (or someone) he'll always be very discreet about things, but make a point to tell me in private how he's really feeling (I appreciate that), he really pushed the trip on us this year and i'm really grateful for it....mexico, whoohoo!
He is encouraging, a crazy song writer, the lead bass singer of TRACK 5, a good dancer (seriously!), he always has "the hookups", he is a MAN of God, he has a lot of love in him and he's just plain....awesome!
I could go on and on and on, but this just reiterates the fact that PIO is the nicest guy ever. I kind of feel bad writing all these things, because I'm certain I don't give as much as I receive....I'm working on it! I love you Pio, you deserve all the best. remember our 10 year plan! aaaaaand come home, I miss you!
i think he's special I wish I could keep him to myself (haha) but due to unforseen circumstances, I guess I'll share....hahaha.

| Good-bye
"You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you something. I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to stay. Let them go!!" - T.D. Jakes
I had a very sleepy drive home from an evening nap at annes house tonight. After dropping off my last passenger, I was alone with my thoughts again.
I started realizing that i've been really selfish, wanting so many things for myself all at once. And for what reason? --- I've been extremely blessed with so much this year.
Let's see...in 2005,
I celebrated my 21st in style.... actually more like stepford wives style.
I road tripped with the most random people to Calgary and laughed harder than I ever have in my entire life! Live Holy, Live Loud Conference 2005 was dope! Oh and I actually made friends with Metro people? how bizarre, how bizarre. haha
I won a trip to Toronto! and then left to visit Montreal --- which by the way is my most favourite Canadian city by far! (after Vancouver of course) oh, and I love the JALEA'S house! (sister? brother?)
I almost moved to Winnipeg, but then stayed in Vancouver instead -- I swear if I had left, life would be different now
I let my guard down.....finally. and now that it's back up again, chapters 12, 17-21 of my book are over, regretfully so.
I went camping in the rain, played beach volleyball, survived the Grouse Grind and partied more than I did when I was 19 (late bloomer)
I visited Winnipeg and toured the sights in less than 30 minutes!
I finished the Vancouver Sun Run, I played volleyball on a team for the first time since grade 9, I went wakeboarding & flew a helicopter
I served Kids for Christ (KFC Ultrastar was a success, KFC Core was established!) and Campus based (and even got YFC into the school paper!)
I volunteered for the Childrens wish foundation, I helped raise money towards one GK house, I sang in a band, I wrote a song & closed the book to my 7th diary
I witnessed true friendship -- the kind that brings you a cup of coffee on a cold day, picks you up when they live a gazillion miles away, shows up at the airport when you just need to see familiar faces, pays for a fancy meal at a fancy restaurant just cause, listens to you bitch about the same thing over and over again, binge on desserts like they're going to run out, act shady when you just need to let loose and act like marissa cooper -- just this once?, sing you a lullaby, duet with you to your favourite song, listen to you vent and work out with you all at the same time, YELL at you when you're acting like a clown, cover you with their coat when it's pouring rain outside, slowdance with you, chacha with you, wake up early on their day off just to drive you to work...and the list goes on and on and on. You know who you are. I love you!
I fell in love with Mike Antonio.............hahah just kidding! I just wrote that because I bet you 10 dollars he didn't read anything but skimmed for his name.
So now.....2006, I hope you come with less heartache, more dedication to my service, less stress, good grades, more memories, more opportunities........and just everything and anything that's meant to happen. Break me away from my selfishness, let me face being uncomfortable, allow me to be patient, and build me stronger!
Thank you Lord for an amazing year. You really pushed me further this year....allow me to go to even greater lengths. | | |
