Randomness
This is not the end!!! I've been a little busy, so I haven't had a chance to finish this off yet.
Mini-Update: Last Saturday I got 2 tattoos in memory of my mom. Here's one of them. This is located on my right inner wrist. This picture is a little off-centered. ~_~ The other one is on the back of my neck. I'll post pics of that one later.

I'll try to write in a bit. :) Sorry to keep you guys waiting.
Saving Face 2: Part 49
Recently, I've been feeling blue. So... to get my mind off of things, I went running at Lake Merritt here in Oakland. Lake Merritt is 3.4 miles in circumference! 
While running pass the bustling cars and the towering skyscrapers, it helped me put things into perspective. Why or who has been making me feeling like shit, you ask? Someone who I have a romantic interest in. Why? Perhaps, our personalities clash. I'm very straight-foward and open with my feelings. Unfortunately, most Asians aren't raised this way. I have a big heart and I'm willing to take chances in this thing we call love. But I am very frustrated with how things have turned out.
Now that I've cleared my mind, onto Saving Face! Thanks for the suggestions in the previous post, I really appreciate the support!
[Scene: Some brief scenes of Wil running on the sidewalk, Wil standing up in the train impatiently looking at her watch, and finally Wil skipping in front of the apartment. Wil abruptly opens the door to find Vivian sitting on the couch.]
Wil [a little caught off guard and raises her palm up]: "Hi, Vivian."
Vivian [in a sudden burst of tears, runs and hugs Wil]: "Wil!"
[Moment of silence...]
Wil [doesn't know what to do with her arms]: "Hm... Vivian, it's okay."
Vivian [in a muffled voice]: "I've mi... ya..."
Wil [tightly hugs onto Vivian and places her face next to Vivian's]: "Hm, I can't hear you, Viv."
Vivian [pulls away from Wil and wipes her tears away]: "I miss you, Wil."
****WARNING: Sexual content coming up!****
[Wil draws closer to Vivian and gently holds Vivian's hands.
Inching closer and closer, Wil moistens her lips as Vivian closes her eyes.
In a sudden explosion of emotions and raw sexual tension, Wil and Vivian kiss each other slowly and deeply.
Still kissing and caressing each other, Wil ushers Vivian slowly onto the couch. Wil lays Vivian flat onto the couch and climbs on top of Vivian, straddling her.
Wil hovering over Vivian, places her hands on Vivian's waist.
Wil silently looks at Vivian for approval.
With a glowing smile on her face, Vivian nods her head.
Wil then proceeds to lift Vivian's shirt up and off her body.
Vivian raises half of her body up and does the same to Wil.
Wil begins to massage Vivian's chest gently, as Vivian's body moves in harmony with Wil's.
While moving up closer to Vivian's face, Wil kisses every inch of Vivian on her way up.
Vivian slithers and softly moans at every little kiss that lands on her body.
Vivian attempts to touch Wil's breasts, but Wil slowly grabs Vivian's hands and holds them down on the couch.
Wil leans in and kisses Vivian's lips.
The passion, the love, and the excitement... Wil and Vivian's bodies and souls melt into one.
For a moment, nothing around them and nothing in the past seemed significant.
Because all that mattered, was the present.
Being here together at this point in time and experiencing true happiness, this is what being in love feels like.]

Saving Face 2: Part 48
[Scene: A couple of days later... Wil heads down to the usual vending machine to grab a snack. She unexpectedly finds a note taped up with her name written on it in ink.]
Wil [grabs the note and quickly opens it]: "This must be from Vivian!"
[Wil moves her eyes back and forth reading as if her life depended on every single written word.]
Wil: "Wil, first thank you for the letter and the rose. It was an unexpected yet pleasant surprise. I've decided to meet with you so we can talk. I'll be waiting at the apartment at 8PM tonight.
Love... Vivian."
Wil [scratches her head]: "Am I reading this right?"
[While reading the note again, Wil paces back and forth in the small corridor in front of the vending machine.]
Wil [talking to herself]: "Wow! I get to see Vivian tonight!"
[Wil excitedly hugs the note close to her chest.]
[Several hours later, Wil humming happily prances around the locker room. Wil's co-worker notices this sudden mood change in Wil and laughs.]
Co-worker: "Aren't you something. You're happy for a change."
Wil [with a cheesy smile]: "Yes, I'm very happy! I get to see Vivian tonight."
Co-worker: "You little devil. [Wil's co-worker slaps Wil on her ass.] How'd you manage that?"
Wil [rubs her ass]: "Oww... [Wil and her co-worker laugh] I don't know, I guess it was that letter that I wrote."
Co-worker: "Ah... Well, good luck tonight, tiger."
[Wil's co-worker winks and pats Wil's back for support.]
Wil: "Thanks."

Saving Face fans, I recommend that you watch the anime "Nana." It's currently airing in Japan, but you can find fansubbed episodes of Nana at Animesuki.com via Bittorrent links.
Nana is a tale of 2 best friends that live in a flat together in Tokyo. Their story is one of a deep love and friendship which many females have experienced at least once in their lifetime.
Back in middle school, I had a best friend that I loved very much. I'm guessing that was the start of when I questioned my sexuality. But the love that I had for my best friend was nothing sexual and it was purely emotional. Delicate, tender, and innocent... are words that would best describe my love for her.
Anyway, watching Nana evoked many of these past memories out of me. It is very refreshing at this moment in my life, since I'm feeling a little jaded from all this "LOVE" mumbo jumbo aka. nonsense. Many thanks to Kelly for introducing "Nana" to me. :)

This is one of my favorite scenes from episode 12.
Hachi: "My dream is to have a house with a big backyard."
Nana: "When I become a famous singer, I'll build a house for you."
Hachi [talking to herself]: "If Nana was a guy, I bet the romance we had would have lasted a whole lifetime."

Awww... Nana is taking care of Hachi after her bf broke up with her. T_T (Don't think anything nasty or perverted from this screen cap! They aren't having sex.)
Saving Face 2: Part 47
Scene [Vivian is eagerly concentrating on Wil's letter.]Vivian [reading to herself outloud]: "You know that I'm not eloquent with words and how hard it is for me to share my feelings... but I'll make this short and to the point. There are many reasons why I've kept the past a secret from you.The number 1 reason is because I didn't want to hurt you. I now realize that it must've hurt more to find out on your own. Again I'm truly sorry. I've taken advantage of the fact that you've always been there for me. I'm madly and deeply in love with you and I can't see myself without you. All I know is that I want to spend the rest of my life with the person that I can't live without... and that person is you.Hopefully you'll reconsider and we can attempt to sort things out. If you want to postpone the ceremony, let me know and I'll handle it.Love Always,Wil."[Vivian exhales and inhales heavily.][Cut Scene to Wil: Wil is now sitting on the train staring aimlessly out of the window with her eyes bloodshot and with a loose ponytail.][Cut Scene to Vivian: Vivian is standing at the kitchen table and pours milk into her bowl of cereal. Vivian's eyes wanders over to the rose and the letter which are resting on the coffee table. Vivian's eyes get teary and suddenly her bowl of cereal is overfilled with milk.]Vivian: "Shoot!" [Vivian places the milk carton on the table and cleans up the mess with a rag.]Mrs. Shing: "Vivian? What's wrong hun?"Vivian [quickly wipes her eyes and tears]: "Oh, it's nothing mom. Clumsy me, I just spilled some milk."Mrs. Shing [comes over to Vivian and places her arm around her daughter's shoulder]: "Are you thinking about it again? I can see it all over your face. Don't cry over spilled milk."Vivian [exhales and begins blubbering like a baby the moment her mom asks]: "I don't know what to do mom. I really miss Wil and I can't stand how things are right now between her and I."Mrs. Shing [hugs her daughter firmly and pats her head]: "Don't you worry, everything will work out in the end. You two were meant to be together, just have faith, okay?"Vivian [looks up at her mom with tears streaming down her cheeks]: "Do you really think so, mom?"Mrs. Shing: "Yes, I think so."
