It's Sunday!!!!

Time for an update right??

So... I named this blog "In the life of....me" but I realized, it's not really that.

I had originally planned to do a blog at least every week but that didn't turn out so well soo.... I though why not start now.

Anyways, this week has been a bit hectic I guess, more than anything I have had a lot of things on my mind and a lot of project that I haven't even started so I decided to make a list of what I need to get done.

1. I need to go down and get a book in Spanish ASAP!!!

My grandfather has been here for like a month or so and he is leaving tonight, so he and I had a lot of conversations about life and what not and well, we both came to the conclusion that my Spanish now pretty much sucks, and that's bad because it is my first language, so in order to maybe correct that I will start reading more things in Spanish and have my Spanish dictionary at hand. :)

2. I need to start studying for the MCAT!!!

So, technically I am a creative photography major, but I do plan to go to Med school, but in order to avoid last minute cramping and freaking out I have decided that I will start studying now that way by the time I have to take the test (which will be a while I think), I will have the material done, and anyways, if I'm gonna be a doctor there are certain things that I should know either way, right?

3. I need to get the photography contest going!!

I am planning a contest for the Archdioceses of Los Angeles (which I kinda "volunteer" for) and so, I have the plans and everything, I just need to carry it through!!

4. Organize the youth group.

As you may, or may not know, I am pretty active in church, and well... I am the sub-coordinator of a youth group, however, by the end of November the current coordinator will renounce and that means that I have to take over, granted I probably won't have much time once January rolls around and I transfer BUT, I will have about 2 months before chaos starts in my life and so I plan to organize that so things can run smoothly whether or not I am there.

5. Personal life

I really need to stop taking some things so seriously, right now I have to keep on putting down the blocks for my life. My grandfather was telling me today that I am young so it's kinda like if I was climbing a mountain, my goal is to get to the top, and that's when I start "living" but in order to get to that top I have to be prepared. He said not to let others weight you donw and just be as ready as you can so that you may reach the top. You do NOT want to be living in a slanted house, but rather on the plateau.

6. Time for fun!!

I have decided to make time for the things I love, and for the people I love. You know what this means? My channel will no longer be dead, more museum visits, more of things I have wanted to do... bucket list, get ready to get some things crossed-out!!!

NEW LIFE, HERE I COME!!!

Well... that's the plan, let's see how it goes.

Feeling you...

So... things have changed lately

Perhaps I will wait it you.

They say things have a way of coming right someway.

I'll give it time, I'l give it room to grow or to become extinguished.

Maybe it's what I think it is, maybe it's not.

Anyways... kinda stressed out and got a lot of stuff on my mind.

I need to let it out but I don't really want to express it.. maybe I'll just sing my hear out.

That always works... I drew, I played guitar, maybe I'll dance and sing some more.

Maybe that'll help it all go away..

Please go away. I don't want to hurt anymore :(

Many Pathways

In your path of life, you sometimes encounter a cross-section, or a path that divides in different ways. How do you decide which way to take? How do you know which one is the right path?

Do you sometimes have to retrace your steps and go back to a past time where two paths crossed and take the other one. Robert Frost said that he took the road less traveled by, and many people have repeated this, but, if many people travel through the "less-traveled" road, wouldn't this turn to the common road???

I'm really just rambling here.
Pathways.... what do they mean?
Pathway to your career, pathway to your life, to romance, to happiness, to virtue ....

What IS a PATHWAY!!?!?!?

Path... defined as a "way"
way... defined as a "direction"

There is not a precise definition for a pathway... perhaps is some sort of road that leads to who knows where. Maybe we carve our own pathways, we make our own path.

Synonyms... footpath... leaving foot prints behind and creating a sort of route.

Whose footpath do I follow?
Nobody's. I shall make my own but, which way do I travel??

Which road do I take? Where do I go from here??

Wondering..

A misty morning does not signify a cloudy day.
Good things happen to good people.
Good things come to those who wait.
The glass is halfway full.
Find things to be happy about.
Something good always comes out of something bad.
When faced with a challenge look for a way, not for a way out.

I am a fighter, and what is more, a positive fighter. I believe fights can be won on your praying, on your knees. I have learned this from my aunt, may she rest in peace.
She passed away not too long ago and well, she always fought her fights on her knees. She had such a positive way of looking at life. I love her, I admire her and I will always remember her.

For David!!!

Busy busy busy bee

That seems to be the life here in L.A.

I get discouraged so much, and often wish I was home but I don't think that's where I'm supposed to be.. anyways a lot of things on my mind..

I got finals this week,.... well next week, though tomorrow I have a final paper due!! It's 7pm and I have not finished it, I started but I keep on getting distracted, so I decided to blog to get my thoughts going and maybe get into writing SOMETHING.

Anyways.. I just have to get through this week and then I will be absolutely done for like 3 months.. I can finally then focus on my bgirling and getting my moves done, my music and finally getting my channel up and running. There are just so many things I want to do and I just feel like I cannot do them just yet and for some reason I feel that being home is stopping me, the only reason being that I am so comfortable and I have a lot of time, and I get easily distracted.

Speaking of which.. I am supposed to go pick up my drums today!! but I guess I'll just do that on the weekend, that way it won't interfere with my final studying.

yay!!!

I'm off for now.. I better get to writing my research paper.

A new month..

It seems to me I post once every two to three months. I guess I've slowly become a "reserved" person, that is until someone comes up to me, sparks my interest and really gets me going, then it seems that I can't stop myself.

I think I shall stay positive. A lot of things have been preoccupying my mind lately and it seems I have to sort out a lot of my thoughts.

But, you know, I seem to be doing fine, getting ahead in life and trusting God with my decisions as well as putting those things I cannot control in his hands.

I believe that we should work in unison to promote God's love. I don't mean force it on anyone and I do believe that actions speak louder than words and so if my actions reflect my beliefs I think it's safe to assume that it might be contagious and someone may ask me why I am so happy and I shall answer that it's because of the joy the Lord gives me.

There are an infinity of things I can be thankful for, and that I am thankful for.

So for those of you out there having a hard time and trying to figure things out, all I gotta say is lay it in the hands of God. His timing might not be ours, but He knows what's best for us and in the end it all works out.

Anyways.. I gotta get back to the "real" world. Catch you later and "B Positive" lol

When We Say (Juicebox) - AJ Rafael - Official Music Video - Wong Fu Prod...

Can I just say that this song almost makes me cry.. why?? well, I guess I really feel it.

AJ tends to express my feelings fully and well, once again he's done it.

And well... the video is just so adorable.

Lyrics:

Somethin bout the way
Somethin bout the way you look
In my eyes
You make everything so damn easy
So easy that I don't got to worry bout a thing

And baby when we touch
All I can see is the image of us
Sitting by the ocean
Just before the dusk
Sippin on a juice box and
Sand between our toes

This is the part when we say were in love
And the part where we have our first kiss
But this ain't a movie
I know you can't come with me
You got your life
He better be treatin you right

Just tell me you don't love me
Tell me you don't feel the same way that I do
Tell me I don't make you smile
Like I do when you walk in the room
You're so hard to let go

This is the part when we say were in love
And the part where we say it's forever
But this ain't a fantasy
I know you can't come with me
You got your life
He better be treatin you right

This hurts so much to know that you're
With someone else when you should be with me
It's just hard to accept that I can't be around
He better be treatin you good
I'm no Einstein but I know a sign
When I see one
And I know you love me too
I know you love me too

This is the part when we say were in love
And the part where we have our first kiss
But this ain't a movie
I know you can't come with me
You got your life
He better be treatin you good
So good
You got your life
He better be treatin you right

Conversing..

Conversing is the act of engaging in a spoken exchange of thoughts.; to talk.
Well.. I have been doing a lot of conversing lately.. Mostly with myself.

There are few people who understand what I am all about.
I am all about honesty, I am about sorting things out calmly, I am about passion, feelings.
I love talking things through, I love language.
I love debating.. is a form of conversing.. Not arguing, just exchanging ideas with a point.

I want to be able to find someone whose conversational style flows right in with mine. Like you're rambling on about whatever and they get exactly what you're trying to say; even when it does not make much sense to anyone else.

Perhaps it's the fact that I have been watching too many "chick flicks" lately. Ha... I used to dread those things but now I am fascinated by them. They explore romantic fantasies and everything turn out well in the end and the girl always get the guy, or the guy always get the girl and it's like from the first moment they set eyes on each other they know they are a perfect match. And it's like they have been having a conversation all along and they were unaware of it.

What is it about this romantic comedies that speak out to us?? Maybe is the need of romance. For me is the challenge of it. It's having found the "perfect" or so to speak person and meeting them in a perfect moment in your life, even when the moment is inopportune.

I want to find the person whom I've been conversing with all along and I did not even know it.

Hello?? Are you out there...?

New Year

And so I find myself in a new year..

I don't blog much, not because I don't have anything to say but sometimes it seems to me I have so much to say I just can't seem to find the right words to say it with.

I am just reflecting on my life, on all the new things to come, on all the unfinished plans from the past but I am moving forward and God willingly this year I will accomplish the goals I have set for myself.

They say it's good to have a memory of the past year. Well I don't really have ONE most cherished memory of 2009, I have many. I have been so blessed this past year, I can't even explain it.
I've grown so much as a person, and as a human being. I've matured as a person; as a woman.
I have learned what value I have and I know that nobody can dictate who I am, only me.

My most cherished memory would have to be tying a lose end with someone that I had been wanting to. This person was a friend to me at one point in my life and because of circumstances we had to drift apart abruptly.. We're no longer friends but we talked it out and we are civil with each other which is more than we were and it's more than I could ask for.

I thank God for an opportunity to live another second, another minute, another hour, another day, another week, another month, another YEAR.

Let me not forget that this year is better than the last; will be better than the last. This year is filled with adventures and I can't wait to dive into them.

Dear Lord, thank you for all you have given me and continue to give me. Thank you for my family who is my support through everything. Thank you for my friends who are like family and are there to make me smile when I feel low. Thank you and thank YOU.
