life is too short to not be in love.
the kind of love that gives you butterflies.
the kind of love that keeps you up at night.
this is the love we should have for life.
burr, its cold outside. 20 degrees to be exact. i have approximately 7 mins till i need to be ready. Although i have 45 mins to get to work. I shall need that 15 mins to warm up my baby. I wasn't sure if i was going to make a resolution this year. But somethings that have stuck and also that is nice to have a reminder.
NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS and THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO:
- eat healthier; focus on having a healthy lifestyle and diet...treat my body right for once
- adventure. do new things and step out of my box
- focus and finish. to concentrate on a few things and follow them through
- prioritize. make more time for my family, friends, me! - relax and live! take time out to breathe yet live each moment (stress free).
Classes resume again next week, i still yet to buy some of my books. Im very much looking forward to them. I need focus and something to stimulate my mind. This year is very different. This year, my girls aren't in reaching distance. This year We're all spread out from different state. I miss them terribly. If this is not hard to phatom, its like putting me on a bike strolling through a long winding road on a foggy morning. No one to giggle with,no one i can turn to and expect them to push me down that direction...Its life, but for now i know i can always bust out my cell phone bug them..lol..

1 Timothy 4:12
"Don't let anyone look down on
you because you areyoung,
but set an example for the believers
in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity."
PARADOX: I am the black and the white...rarely the in between. Sometimes I want to listen and absorb insight. Other times I want to jump at the world and make my presence known. Sometimes I want people to make that substantial effort to penetrate through the walls that I build around my emotions. Other times, I'd much rather be
left alone.
I'm a paradox within myself. I'm an unsolved puzzle; a road
in
different
directions.
If you choose, drive
down
my
road......
but keep your seatbelt on.

Big Leap..
no silly, not marriage..haha
chicago
D.C.
YES. Im trying to make that move...away from the parentals.. Thanks to miss mary, our conversation has concluding in me pondering of my situations. I am to comfortable here in good ole b.a.
Just like what the quote say:
"I realized that if I was going to achieve anything in life I had to be aggressive. I had to get out there and go for it... I know fear is an obstacle for some people, but it's an illusion to me."
Basically, Things i have to check out first is Apts/condos,Jobs,school. its in that order because its the neccessity i'll be needing when i get to either one of these destination. I'll need a place that i can call home away from home. I'll need a job to support the lifestyle change and school to continue my pursuit of education. Which has a semi part of why i would be relocating. It was a toss up to these relocations above but as days goes by im thinking where it would be more sufficient for me..besides those two places i've been looking into Las Vegas, San Diego,Dallas..
All i know is praying to god it all goes through. Give me strength to get through this year to get everything settled here in oklahoma before i can go on to pursue that part of life...
I would like to look back at this one year from now and think "Yes, im making the big move
"
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, margarita in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
with that said, Merry Christmas Folks and a happy new year!

my christmas list for 2007
1. - New Computer -- an apple imac, look at this beast i've had my eyes on it ever since it has been out couple years ago. Im switching over from PC's to Mac, it has everything for artsy nerds plus it doesn't receive any pop-ups or viruses..=)
4) Tickets to Europe and/or Asia (japan,korea,hong kong, PHILIPPINES for summer/fall 2008 (currently accepting donations)
5) Gift certificates to MAC Cosmetic,Target,urban outfitters
6) $$ CASH - accepted anytime, anywhere, any holiday haha
7) Take me to OC's Boiling Crab and let me drink unlimited Heinekens while I eat to my 80's jams 8) A set of golf clubs
Is it to much, lol..
i don't really want this to be my gifts. Considering im a very independant woman and i know in the future it doesn't matter i'll probably indulge myself with the materialistic things. I'rather receive your kick ass company for my amusement. Above all company and a good time with memories is the best thing i can receive..=)

Another day staring at the ceiling...
or so i thought, After 2 days and 14 hours later. The electricty is back on. I survived thanks to the parentals. Cozy house with the help of the fireplace, warm homemade dinner to come home to everday despite of having to cook in a candlit kitchen area. Grateful is all i thought of that. That we were warm, safe and away from falling tree debris. So the hospital was chao s, we ha no power the first day. Things just rolled down hill from there. I don't understand politics in a hospital but its clear for all managers that its never an option for them. A non-profit organization can have this much politics. A manager in my department got let go. 2 weeks before christmas, i didn't see the differece of why they could not have wait till the beginning of the year. Why must they do this during a time of merry and celebration. I've seen this happen numerous times already. I must say im disgusted at the immoral act. To top it of, they have to sugar-coat things makes it even worst. It is what it is, they have their reasons for doing it. What is 3 weeks to wait to do it.. than now. The person will remember this yearly. It may just be someones job, but its the job that someone has put in dedicated hours of her time in everyday, sleepless nights. Its just sad how it was done...
With the help of god i hope they know there is a light in all things..

December Breezy!
Its been so nuts lately, ever since turday day its just been on the go! The Ny trip is now iffy. Im sadden, but unfortunately im having the symptoms of the "lowfundsyndrome". I would just really love it have all my credit cards paid off. It would be so incredibly nice. I wouldn't mind just having a car & insurance payments every month. haha. I can't help but plan destination after destination. It just seems like its a goal i can achieve the more i look at it. The fact is i need to get a second job to balance out everything. Keeping god in my heart. But till than i will keep thinking about my destinations and we will just see what happens. I was thinking, Christmas in the philippines.. When buds was here i even started looking at beach houses in boracay we can rent out for couple of days as see that they've never been there either..lol That the fab 5 should go there and get out beauty rejuv right on the beach. Schedule conflict with work as well as with school will keep that from happening i bet unless we put a down payment like right now..lol
I like this artwork, very saucy. Another city i would love to explore in the future..Except as much as i love heels, the fact that it fits in this picture..I would not be wearing heels. It seems that wearing that has worn itself out. I would rather wear my chuck norris converse..haha
Comfort baby!
Comfort baby!
Yes! I still dream of Nihon! I already know the whole Flips hates the happun. Why am i reminded of that, urgh..Im just intrigued by the beauty of this country..The more i see pictures the more i yearn to go. I need to brush up on my japanese..This is the tori gates the one that was seen in the movie "Memoris of a Geisha", where sakuya was running through as a little girl..
I just can't wait till i go to these destinations..till than i'll just admire from afar
