What are these words?

I have a Mexican friend that wrote something on my hand that I can't figure out. I was wondering if anyone on here can

Sorry, but I can't make out what it says.

I see a face caricature and a six-letter word, or perhaps two 3-letter words. The letters don't spell a word.

Perhaps it's an acronym.
Do you have any clues that might help?

Thank you. Yes there is a big smiling face with these letters under them but I have no idea asto what iit could be either.

I suggest you ask your friend what it means. ;)

Lol I did, he just smiles! Another word he has used that I'm not sure of is grenas...any thought on that. I looked it up and it says something along the lines of hair but I'm pretty sure that's not the text he's using it. It also has a ~ over the a I believe

The '~' goes over the 'n', like this: ñ
That is a letter of the Spanish alphabet, different from 'n'.
There's an 'Accents' drop-down menu just above where you type. You can select ñ from it, along with all the other special characters you'll need to type in Spanish.

greña = tangled strand (of hair) (can also mean a lock of hair)

With the 's' on the end, the word is plural. So it means 'tangled strands' or 'locks'.

If you know the context, that is always helpful.
