graceful gracea

i love the title: graceful gracea. the repetition describes this girl perfectly, grace. yes, the name's gracea and she's graceful. i spent the whole afternoon with her and yui and it was amazing, as usual. the weather was perfect, she was very cooperative, and yui was very helpful. i'm so pleased with today's shoots. omg i'm so happy i cannot put my feelings into words. 

gracea is my classmate and again, i'm lucky to call her "sister". back to 2010, when i had no friend in college, she was my very first friend. i was very shy and clueless then. i don't really remember how we became friend, but i think it was her who tried to talk to me. i was too reluctant to start a conversation with new people (and i guess i still am), so... i'm glad she did. 

she's the friendliest and the most cheerful girl i've met. don't be so judgmental, please. she may look like a mean girl but she isn't. nope, not at all. if you get to know her, you may think that she's the funniest girl you've met. she's beautiful - not just that "she's beautiful because i'm her friend" kind of beautiful. she's more than just that. she's more than just a pretty face and smokin' hot body. she's a beautiful person covered with courteous personality and a good sense of humor - she's a bunch of funny jokes. plus, if you want to see how sexiness and cuteness collide, well... she's the living proof. 

she has the kind of smile that lights up places, and yes baby you light up my world like nobody else hahaha (hi niall!). she's so hilarious, she makes everything funny and i just love it. i love how she makes me laugh until my tears come out. she's a blessing (: 

she's stronger than she may seem - she's waaaaay stronger. she keeps so much to herself because she knows that she's strong enough to get through anything. she has a very hard shell outside but she's very fragile inside. she is very good at pretending that she's okay when she's not - one thing i need to learn from her :'3. she shows everyone that nothing can hold her down. 

this photo is my favorite photo from today's shoots. she jumps in excitement and she looks very happy. i love seeing her happy. well, she looks happy most of the time but, sometimes, happy isn't what she really feels. she uses her prettiest smile to hide her sadness. she makes everyone happy even when she isn't. that's what i love the most about her.

i love her. i love her to the bone. and i want her to be happy because she deserves it. she has every right to be happy.
