I introduce you to Maryann or Mariann. I’m not sure how you spell her name because honestly I didn’t ask her how to spell her name. She is 52 years old, happily married and has lived on Guam all her life. She used to live in Agat but now resides in Dededo.
There were three other people with her. Her auntie Priscilliana who is in a wheelchair and was basically asking for donation because she is trying to go to the Philippines to have heart surgery. Maryann’s husband, Jerome was in the center island asking for money as well. They told me that every other day they go to this specific spot to ask for donations. I took a look at Maryann’s auntie, Priscilliana and her feet are swollen and I could see that there is a sore on her right foot. I automatically asked her if she was diabetic and she said yes. Priscilliana also bakes and has been selling donuts at the Flea Market. Boñelos is what it’s called. I hope I got that right. Priscilliana didn’t want her picture taken and I understood that. She was thankful to God for having Maryann and Jerome there because they have been helping her. She said that one day God will award them. There was a little boy there too but I forgot to ask his name. He was preoccupied playing with his toy. I gave a dollar and they appreciated it. They were telling me any kind of donation counts.
I was at mobil gas station when I noticed several people sitting on the curb. I was thinking whether I should ask them for almost five minutes when I finally did. Honestly, I was afraid to and I was walking back and forth telling myself..”No, just go back…there’s always next time. ” I was fighting with myself basically. I’m happy that I faced my fear and DID it.

DAY TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY THREE
I had an amazing day with some friends. We laughed soooo much today. We had some discussions about religion. But I totally missed them. I want more nights like this one. Well I kind of missed yesterday. I was out practically the whole day just catching up with some people. We talked about this semester. How we are afraid about this upcoming semester. Chit chatting about our class. I came to realize that I shouldn’t be afraid. What ever will be will be. I am a strong believer that things happen for a reason and that we got to go with the flow. We talked a lot….mostly laughing. I mean I literally hurt from laughing. That’s why continue to surround yourself with positive people. People that make you laugh and don’t talk bad about you. Don’t need no negativity in your life.

SO today, I decided to walk around Tumon because I was also buying something for my mom at DFS. Go on a mini photowalk. Well there I was minding my own business and this guy goes up to me and tells me to stop taking photos of him. I told him i wasn’t then he goes i’m a model this and that. WHATEVER!I almost threw up in my mouth! Anyways, I almost punched him because he was tugging at my camera strap demanding to see the photos, ”DELETE” the photos I took of him. WELL, I showed him the photos. Told him I was taking pictures of the bench! The bench was prettier than him! SEriously! ass! AHH! Anyways, I calmed down after walking on the beach for a bit and taking some pictures. The skies were pretty!
