Similarities between me and Lily Aldrin

My best friend "Reem" and I are have been friends for over 19 years . We are have been friends since first grade . She is always there for me and I'mee always there for her . In fact, she had a great impact in my life, she is only 5 months older than me but i always looked up to her . Growing up I was quiet and weird. Reem was the life loving and wild . I remember all the crazy stupid things that she used to do and I envied her for her courage to do whatever that comes to her mind and her endless search for adventures. I loved to see life through her eyes .
Of course we had different personalities, different friends, different interest and different environment. But our friendship kept going strong. We used to go out once a month, talk every other day and share evrery detail about our lives .
But recently things changed we got busy with work and family. We talk less now , we don't have common topics anymore.
Also we changed she used to be the wild one and I'm the quiet, one boring one . I started to socialize more , be energetic , and advertisers (do you mean adventure?) seeker sound familiar? !
On the other hand she changed to this quiet ,modest and spiritual person . Didn't Don't get me wrong. I'm happy for her . People spend years and years to find peace with in themselves. She found it and she is happy. The thing is I feel we are splitting apart. A lot of times when we talk I feel that we are from different worlds and we are but this time if feel it and it's sad . I guess the best way to descript describe it is that I feel how Lily from "how I met your mother " felt at the last season .she was happy for her friends for the things that they achieved in life but sad that things is are not how they used to be .
That is Those are the similarities between us , Besides both of us are cute :)

When Can I use (to, that) and when can not

Hello, I am confused about the usage of "to" or "that" in the following sentences.


1) I am going to sleep to in the bedroom (Is it Ok?) ** or, you could say 'I am going to the bedroom to sleep'

2)I think that we must arrive early / I think we must arrive early (which one is ok or is more common and natural) - Both are OK to use. The second one is a little more natural. Also you can say 'I think we should arrive early'

3)I want to go to the restaurant (Is it Ok?) Yes - this is fine!

4) I need to see to my parents / I need to see my parents (which one is ok or is more common and natural) the first one is incorrect. The second one is fine, and also natural/common.

5) I don´t know what to say / I don´t know what saying (which one is ok or is more common and natural) The first one is right and common/natural - the second one is incorrect. You could say 'I don't know what I am saying', but it changes the meaning a little.

My English Learning Diary 5

I am off today, but I have not done anything. I just stay at home and read. Actually, I have wanted to do go shopping with my friends, but they are working or on a trip, so I stay at home lonely. However, we had not met for several years**. I hope that I will have a dinner with my friends in this week.

** Although this sentence is grammatically correct, it does not make sense in this context. Who had you not met for several years?
