YAY! :)

4.5 years, 4.0 gpa last semester, & 3.5 gpa overall! I am so happy and proud of myself!!!  Friday will  be the big day! Although it's not exactly how I planned it to be...I can't wait to see everyone and celebrate! Thank you for everyone's support and motivation! AHHHH! It's finally here!!!

The way I see it...

It hurts my feelings that I try but it's not good enough for you.
It hurts my feelings you call me a real friend, yet treat me like I am a stranger.
And it really hurts my feelings you can not be straight forward with me about how you really feel about me.
The way I see it...I can see right through you and your lies.

Ingrid Michaelson - Parachute

just hold to me, i'll hold onto you. it's you and me up against the world, it's you and me...

it's so cold outside, but it's colder in your heart

the night air is cold
but the frost surrounding your heart
can not melt away with a spring shower
your words cut like jagged ice
no amount of pride can shield me
your anger is enough to send the devil running
God is my only savior
no matter how much hate you harbor
love will set me free
i am no longer afraid of you
for my silence will over throw you
say what you will
embarrass me to kick me out
your blood may be thick
but believe my water will wash my hands clean of you
today you have lost my respect
and broken these chains that held me hostage
thank you for showing your true colors
i no longer have to pretend
i can not change who you are
i  just wish you could have accepted me
but at the least, i will do that for you
good bye for good
thank you for the lesson
thank you for giving me the courage to walk away

4 years is nothing...

"4years is nothing compared to the rest of our lives together" he answered when i asked him if it was a big deal. Good answer babe, great answer! :)

I am blessed. Thank you Mimi for helping us capture this memory! I'll never forget our first kiss! after-all, it's how I snatched you up! Lol ahahahakrjdfusnd I love him!!! :D

Keep Breathing

In times when I feel it's too much, I will remember that all I can do is "keep breathing."
When relationships become toxic, I will learn to step back and allow myself to come up for air.
I will ask for patience when I can not understand.
I will ask for patience when I want to ask for change.
I will ask for patience when I feel I can not achieve.
I will remember I have not failed, but that time is needed to mend.
It does not matter how badly I want things to work, I can only standby.
Until then, music will fill the silence that has come between us.
I still believe in your good, and now I am learning to not look for your bad.
I hope this is a new chapter and that the end is not near...

Pretty Lil Heart

tell me that i got it and that you want it even more....

What a fool...

A transition
A change
Feeling uncomfortable in new skin
Wanting a change
Fear of the unknown
So many questions
Not enough patience
Stir it all together
Insecurity
A silver lining
A Hopeful day
Take hold of someone's hand
Take hold of tomorrow
Stand on the fine line
Dare to step over and brave the consequences
What a fool
A fool I stand
I am ready for rejection
And hopeful of acceptance
I am ready to live

I think I will dream alittle.

Why does it seem when you learn more about yourself, you tend to lose more friends? And when you finally reflect on the past and want to reconnect with friends, they have already moved on...aiyah, I know...it is life... "friends grow a part." I want to believe differently and yes, I understand that that saying is also true in most cases, but I want it to be different for me. I guess all I can do is hope and pray! I am sure the big man hears what I am saying! lol I am grateful for my family because I know they will always be there, but I am hoping the friends I have once told " I love you" to will also stick it out with me or will come revisit a much happier time again! -to wishful thinking

 HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!! :)

I couldn't be happier this h.ween, I got to spend it with some great people this weekend and totally dance my butt off! haha It has a great last hoorrah for Metro! You have been good to me but I think it's time to retire my valet tickets! hahaa I hope everyone has a spook-tackular day! :D

Lucky Day

It could be so easy for you to please me...so how come you tease me!!!!

Gotta be aggressive!

Next week I must put on a brave face! 🙅

I think I finally get it...

The more you live, the more you learn.

I've spent most of my life trying to fit into a mold

Someone who is nice, someone who doesn't put up with sh*t.

The list goes on and on.

No matter how I tried to listen, try to ignore... I never felt at peace with my decisions.

There was always a constant back and forth, second guessing.

I review the evolution of my life and feel quite content now.

Thank you to those special individuals who have stood beside me,

thank you to those who have walked away.

I will stop saying I don't expect anything in return because I do.

I will stop saying don't worry about it because it gets on my nerves.

I will stop saying it's ok because it really isn't okay.

And I will stop saying sorry because I am done apologizing for being myself.

The more I learn about myself, the less I feel I should have to apologize.

(This doesn't mean I am too proud to apologize when I am wrong, wrong is wrong.)

Saying sorry doesn't always makes things better, it's only temporarily.

It's the action that follows the confrontation.

I have incredible friends, and I am learning to appreciate the individuals who go for what they want,

and have no regrets about it.

Those individuals place less blame on others,

because they take happiness into their own hands and do not put themselves last.

Dammit, I want some of that happiness too!

By no means am I intentionally leaving people in the dust,

it is simply asking others to join me because I need to put my life in gear.

So, what who wants to dance to the beat of my drum? or life's drum to be exact!

she is amazing...L.O.V.E dance to the beat of my drum!

- Loving You Is Easy

Sarah McLachlan

She is so AMAZING! Simply beautiful! I can go on and on about this woman and her music but it's easier to understand the admiration after listening to her music! :D Enjoy!

Exhausted!

I believe this is the most busy I have been in quite some time. Hopefully in October things will slow down, but I highly doubt it. It's good to be busy right? Lol like everyone says-"you don't have much longer!" that is so true. I am excited...let's hope I don't run out of gas before reaching the finish life. Lol

Loved You Tonight...John West's Sexy New Music Video

My baby sister likes to send me songs...not just any kind of songs...songs that she knows will make me think of Anthony when I listen to the lyrics and I must say...she's good! I absolutely LOVE this song! :) The easy and relax feel of the songs reminds me of the love Anthony and I share. :) He brings a peace and calm to my life when I am frazzled and stressed out. It doesn't get any better than that right? Thank you God, for blessing me with this wonderful love. ^_^ Everyone have a blessed day and remember that you too are loved!

HAHAHAHA

I am ready...

THE FINAL COUNTDOWN

THIS IS IT...THE FINAL SEMESTER! I can not wait...

this video...cracks me up! I will refer back to this video when the semester gets to be "a little too much!" I will remind myself that this is it...the final countdown! HAHAHAA

Trouble For Me

yea, you trouble for me....

GO BRITNEY!!!!

rubber rubber-band!

rubber rubber band!
i tried to stretch myself thin!
If you pull too hard i'll pop you and make you scream!
When your wound has healed, you may use me again.
Although I may break, a simple knot will fix the damage.
And there I will be, to hold you tightly again! -h.n.

Him!

He is so amazing. He is so simple.

And because he is simple, he brings simplicity to my life.

Last night, as I stepped into the shower and allowed the water to wash away my day's worth of stress,

I reached for my toothbrush to add toothpaste. There it was...my sweet and simple lover had already taken the time to apply toothpaste for me! :D Best shower ever! tehehe Now throughout the day, I have something else to be grateful for! How does one find such luck? The thought of him makes me giggle like a little girl and blush like teenie bopper after receiving her first kiss! *_* 45months!

like a cigarette, I will be your perfect match! ^_^ I LOVE THIS SONG!

my little sister knows me too well when she found this song! tehehe

thinking...

It just shouldn't be this hard...
to say hello, ask how you are.
Why do I feel like I must hold back the love I have inside?
I want to be there and be a part of your life, but currently I feel as if the door is closed.
Do I knock? Or perhaps it's better to wait for you to open the door...
When it comes to you, I feel so unsure.
It use to be so easy. I never had to think about it.
I instinctively knew what pleased you, what would bring a smile to that face.
Now-a-days, that face is a distant memory and the laughter that came with it fades.
I can let you go, but I don't think I want to.
Is it so pathetic to hang on?
Again, I am unsure.
I do not wish to turn back time,
because in reality everything would happen the same.
I have tried distance, but it seems you were never mine to keep.
Damn this feeling, damn this weakness.
It just shouldn't be this hard, but my dear...it is.



how i feel...enjoy.

Skylar Grey - Invisible

Marry The Night

Lady GaGa , oh yea.

6 months

In the next 6 months, a lot will happen. Not only for myself, but for some very fabulous people in my life too. I am excited....and nervous of course. I guess this is what it means to grow up...it's the feeling of being outside of your comfort zone. lol Here are a few things on my agenda for the next 6months!

1. Graduate! :D
2. Survive working in a bakery...and maintain my current job and graduate. lol
3. Celebrate 4 years!
4. BIRTHDAYS/HOLIDAYS! :D
5. Miscellaneous things...who knows!!! 

I am sure I am leaving out a few things but I haven't had a good night's rest for the past 2 weeks. So now I am going to enjoy a glass of wine and catch some ZzzZzz. Tomorrow will be the one of the last 2 Thursdays I will be off before it's M.I.A. Hongie time! lol g'night!

Come As You Are

Are you ready for a voice that will blow your mind? Enjoy!

Yuna! I honestly can not get enough of her music! I believe I have finally found a voice that is me, without ever saying a word. Her style, it's so refreshing! Perfect! This little discovery makes me very happy! ^__^

Fingers crossed!

I am really hoping that this is the weekend!
I want out with the old...some room to grow, and space for my creative juices to flow!
That's right, i am attacking the room this weekend!
Lately, my head had been filled with great ideas.
Projects I want to start, and crafts I want to try!
Therefore, I gotta get my room cleaned.
I am a freaking hoarder! Ahahaa
But now I've realized that all think junk is holding back.
of course it's really not junk,
But I am sure there are others can appreciate the buried treasure in my room.
Lol when I clean house, many benefit so I gotta let some things go!
I am excited and hope to reclaim my space.
Fingers Crossed!

Selena Gomez & The Scene - Love You Like A Love Song

<3 <3 <3

Dont count the miles, count the I love yous! :)

Really L.O.L.

In the past two hours, I was really laughing out loud! Family wedding Saturday = FASHION SHOW!!!! So what was I doing exactly? Oh no, not digging in my closet for the perfect outfit...I was helping my mom and dad pick out their outfits! :D so much freaking fun!!!! Hahaha my dad....EASY of course! My MOM...I sent out a prayer to all the fashion Gods she would cooperate but if you are Vietnamese...you know there is nothing that can be done to hold back the fashion goddess that flows through our veins. lmao It was like a fashion show and I was the stylist...lol to cut things short, I am going on a shopping trip tomorrow in hopes of helping my parents find essentials to polish their looks. Haha like I said, my mom...I don't know but my dad is good to go. Lol

Of course my favorite part was spending time with my parents and sharing laughs with them, but the part that topped off the evening was all of the hidden jewels in my mom's closet! Tehehee no, not the sparkly stones but a time capsule of fashion! I just can't get enough! I found clothes that I remember my mom wearing when I was just a kid and timeless pieces I can't wait to get my hands on once she's not looking and I can snatch em! Tehe lucky for me, my dad was more than happy to help me get a few articles of clothing. A pair of coral crop pants, oversize white top, and 2 leather belts. I feel pretty good and can't wait to go back for more one day. Lol I just love retro clothes. :) shoot, I love clothes in general. Tehe so much freaking fun! I really can't wait til Saturday because i haven't seen all my family since I was in my teeny bopper days. Oh, and we can't forget about the fashion show that's gonna go down! I am so ready! :D

Tick tick tickie tock!

That's the noise I seem to be hearing nonstop upstairs in that head of mine. There's nothing particular on my mind, yet I've been thinking about everything. Bleh...wonder wheat all this thinking will conclude in the end... Tickie tick tickie tock!

So it's summer and the long wait is now down to a few days! It's going to be a CRAZY and EPIC trip. Amongst the madness in the beach house, I just hope everyone will have fun. and if someone doesn't, wth is wrong with them??? Bah a j.j but on a serious note, you must hate the beach and sun to not enjoy this trip right!? Lol

Not only am I excited to go to the beach with my family and friends...but I get 2 full days with Anthony. :) going away somewhere with him for more than a day is like mission impossible! I must thank all my lucky stars this year! Tehe I also got this huge body board for the trip, u don't know what you are missing until you catch a few waves w/one, or even a float. But it's got to be sturdy, or it's man over board! Lol whoop whoop! There's going to be a really loud and obnoxious laughter in the distance, and it will most likely be long to me. Hahaha This is my yearly vacation, and I plan to make the best of it. Drama and worries will have to wait at the door until I finish soaking in that master suite bathtub w/my LUSH bath goodies! Horray! Thanks everyone thats given me lush as presents, I am about to put them to good use! Tehehe bubble bra and panties! Lmao

Antonio and I also made 3.5 years this week. The time goes by so fast! I freaking love that man! He is my sunrise and sunset. Just beautiful.

Avril Lavigne - I Love You (HQ with Lyrics)

"I like the way, you misbehave...when we get wasted..."
haha If my love was put into a song, this is what it would sound like! :D

The Pierces - It Was You

got these girls on repeat. these sisters can sing and i just love their voices! my ears are happy! :)

The Pierces - We Are Stars (Acoustic Version)

I love these chicks, i love their style!!! :) Haven't found anything like this in a long time. Enjoy! :)

goodbye SPRING!

HOLLLEEEELLLLUUUUYYYUUUUREEE! SPRING 2011 is finally behind me. I am waiting on 2 more grades, but the 2 classes I was sweating bullets over is a GREEN LIGHT- GO!!! I am not proud of my grades but they are passing, and that is good enough for me...because, well I didn't try that hard this semester and that is what I get...and I can accept that. I am just happy that this semester is over and I am happy to say I will be graduating in the FALL baby! SUH SUH WHOOOTTTTT! haha I can't celebrate just yet but I know the workload in the fall will be manageable! ^_^ I never doubt the fact that I would be able to sit out from school and go back...but it is an achievement after all! :) I mean, it only took 4.5 years of college to realize ACADEMIA is really not for me, but what else would I have done in that time but school. lol What's after graduation? I have no idea. I know I should be trying harder to find an internship and secure life after ungrad, but for right now...I just need to work and make some money to pay off that sweet ride of mine. hahaha It amazes me that Ant can spend 2-3 hours washing/cleaning the exterior and interior of that car. At least he appreciates it! :D I'm just grateful to have working powered windows and A/C! :D
Another summer is here, I don't have big plans but the one or 2 mini vacays I have lined up is much needed! YAY!!! 3 more weeks and it will be beach bum status! YES! Pretty water, sunshine, and a house full of familiar faces! It's gonna be wild! I mean, really....18+ people in a house for Memorial weekend, don't need a big imagination to picture all the madness that's gonna go down but for sure it's gonna be memorable! Although it's gonna be crazy, the beach is right across the street so everyone can do whatever it is their heart desires without having to work around everyone else schedule! Yay! 3 more weeks, can't wait! :)


Other than that....life has been really school and work. Now that school is out of the picture til the fall, it's just work! lol boring much? hahaha I think I will survive! :) Trying to do some late spring cleaning. OMG, if I had a much younger, less fashionable little sister...she would hit the mother load jackpot of all hand-me-downs! haha but since I don't....one stack for Plato's and another for goodwill! :) It's time to clean house! I'll be lucky to make $20! haha (Mimi, help me have a garage sale! LMAO)

^__^ This song is so adorable!!!


"We may only have tonight... but til the morning sun, you're mine! All mine!
Play the music low, and sway to the rhythm of love!" -PWT

Selena Gomez & The Scene - Who Says

I'm no beauty queen, I'm just beautiful me! :D


When I first heard this song it was on Disney...which I blew off as being annoying and all that bubbly stuff! lol But the other night I was enjoying a nice long chat with a best friend and our conversation made me think of this song! I know we all have insecurities, but dammit...LOVE YOURSELF!!! If you don't, you will only have yourself to blame for all that "crap" that happens to you!!! Enhance your quality of life, LOVE YOURSELF! It is then that someone will see it too...

I wanna dedicate this song to all my lovely ladies!!! I love you chicas!!! Now, for world domination! bahaha

Maybe I have too much time...
Or maybe I just take the time to care.

wow, where did the time go?

6 more school days and the semester is over...1 test final, 1 art research presentation, 1 campaign to write, 1 research paper, 2 test, 3 critiques to write, and homework all in between. YAY! >_< not so much! I gotta beast it...but I hope I don't burn out right at the end of the race! This is the first time in all of my college life that I am really freaking out about the end of the semester! WTH! What can I say, my mind did take a 2month vacation this semester! +_+ no bueno, but now all I can do is own up to it! lets GO! Disclaimer: I will be one hot mess for the next 2 weeks and will experience mood swings that will even scare off the boogie man! Approach with caution!!!**************

So this past weekend was a bit of a flashback from my 2010 summer. It was a very warm and happy feeling of "the good times."   New friends and old friends. New beginnings and a whole lot of drunkiness! :P u just gotta see it to believe it!

 Oh, not to mention...my baby was getting down in the club! Ant is so adorable! ^_^ He always finds a way to make me smile...without even trying! :P

(2007,still same ole Ant ^__^)

And as promised, pics of my baby! haha Really, it's Ant n I's! I'm so happy I now have a vehicle he can drive! :D You guys know me...I like driving a tank! I have to always be so careful with the new car that sometimes I rather let Ant drive it...lucky for me, he loves to drive it! ^_^ So we're both happy to swap cares between the weekdays and weekend!

(oh, so dep! hahaha)

Welps, I think that pretty much wraps it up for now. Can't wait to finish classes so I can start working out with my sister and get ready for DESTIN!!!!! CANNOT FREAKING WAIT!!!

(this is going to be an EPIC VACATION!!!!!!!!)

 

^_^

hahaha, the song is good...the video cracks me up! :D Good listen though!


So, school....3 weeks and BAM...FINALS!!! Wholey poopers! I am in some trouble! >__< Gonna try my best...lets hope I get my poop together and make it to the next semester to reach the finish line! AHHHH!!! I usually have it all done during the semester and have a chill final but this semester I did the complete opposite! AIYAH! Gotta get it, gotta get it together!

So I am sure you guys know, I finally got myself my OWN CAR!!! Yup! Crazy stuff but it's really mine...and Anthony's!!! :) It's our baby! hahaha  I couldn't have gotten through this process if it wasn't for Ant and my family!!! YAY! Now I can have the freedom to go on mini road-trips without the hassle of bothering other people!!! (will post pic later)

Hmmm, other than that it's just the same ole same ole...I am waiting for May to get here so I can be the ULTIMATE BEACH BUM!!! Like a wise friend once said- "I am so ready for the beach...my body might not be but my mind is" BAHAHA On the realz....I hate being so busy with school and work because it leaves me no time to really get a good workout....dammit! 2 months...if I don't get my shit together Ima be walking around in a MOO MOO looking like a sea cow...like FOR REALZ! hahaha Nah, I just want to be comfortable with myself...know that I did at least try to work on myself like everyone else around me has been working hard!!!!  PROPS to my momacitas who have been getting it TIGHT and RIGHT! :D CHEA!

What else.....ANTHONY!!!! hahaha I love this boy! He makes me so happy...even when he makes me mad! :) We work well together and I can completely be myself around him. I do not have to hide and think about my actions...maybe what I say but never how I act...we can make jokes at one another and laugh it off. I am grateful for our relationship's sense of humor. :) We bring the stinkie in one another out...bahaha :D :D :D We are by no means perfect...but he is perfect in my eyes!

Wow....3 weeks....LEGGO!!!!!!!!!

All This Time

All this time we were waiting for each other....


One Republic was AMAZING tonight at LSU Groovin on the Grounds!
It's my second time at one of their concerts...regardless free or a fee...
I LOVE THIS BAND! Ryan is just UNBELIEVABLE! And all his band members are so talented! :D
All this time was a new song they played. During the performance I couldn't help but think about my love. I wish he could have been there with me. I wish he didn't have to work so hard so we can share moments like this. But it's ok, because when I looked up into the night sky, I stared up at the stars and knew we were under one sky and in my heart he is always with me. haha Yes, mushy gushy! But he is my home! I love that boy!

to my love

Jim Jones "Perfect Day" feat. Chink Santana & Logic

"I've been looking at the stars all night,it got me thinking how I can get away. it got me thinking bout a perfect day" -j.jones

I just love the vibe and beat of the song! :D
SUMMER MUSIC...YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

waiting...

something exciting is going to happen soon...i hope it all works out!!! I need this...well not really...but it makes my heart happy... even if only for a little while. :)

Wow, I must be a really sucky person. So ugly.

Time...and the wondering mind

It's been quite awhile since I've visited.
I've been busy, I've been free, but my mind steadily wonders.
It's been quite stressful, it's been quite leisurely.
I've gone in and out of reality.
Somedays I am here and aware, other times I am dust in the wind.
I am still exploring.
I have lots to learn.
I am still learning how to cope.
To count my losses and make with my gains.
I am mostly selfless,but when I am selfish I lose.
It's quite the vicious cycle.
I have grown tired of this merry-go-round.
Somedays I wish for the past for I am too afraid of the future.
Other times I wish to fast forward past this middle time.
I am grateful for who I love and grateful for who I can not.
I pray my soul does not grow tired, I know in God's hand he keeps.
This path was drawn for me, therefore I will keep walking.
Through the dark forest and dry desert, the lone star will guide me.
My final destination, I do not know, but walk I will keep til my feet grow tire.
I hope for happiness everywhere, I hope for it above all my desires.
Not just for me, but the persons who need it most.
I know I am blessed, that I can never argue.
Therefore, I encourage others to fight for happiness as well.

The All-American Rejects - The Wind Blows

I got to breathe, can't take that from me- cause its all that you left that's mine...

Yes, you are gone now...but this time it's not such a bad thing!

This news gives me something to smile about.

This opens the windows and lets the light in this gloom room.

I can breath now. I've found the keys I put up long ago.

I thought this was what I wanted, sadly it's what kept me low.

Now I can go, leave and be free.

Thank you for leaving cause it's open my eyes to something new.

Somewhere new my heart can go. :) -H.N.

CHUC MUNG NAM MOI!!!

I am sure many do not like Ke$ha but I enjoy her music because it's simple....
and it makes me want to DANCE!!! And DANCING=FEELING HAPPY!!! ^__^
I got off work late tonight and as soon as I clocked out at 11 PM, I rushed home to enjoy New Years Eve with my parents...it's TRADITION!!! For as long as I can remember, my family always got together for nye. Although it was a bit different this year because some of my siblings are working in the a.m. or far away...I still got the chance to hangout with my parents and add another year of tradition to my book! It's simply, we light a few inscents and do some praying. My parents saved me some food because they knew I was going to be late :) I enjoyed some of my childhood favorites and some dessert! I LOVE MY MOM'S CHE!!! ITS THE BEST!!! lol Before bed, my father asked my mother to give me my red pocket but I them it's ok....I will wait...for my partner in crime...my baby sister!!! :) We always get our pockets together and run off to see how much we got. hahaha It wouldn't be right without her! :)

I have high hopes for this year, most importantly for myself. I'd like to wish my family and dearest friends a great New Year filled with happiness and great accomplishments! WE ARE GONNA DO THIS ALL TOGETHER!!! :) I'd like to let everyone in my life know, I truly do....love you! :)

Train - Marry Me

I am in love with this song....only because I can't wait for what the next five years will bring me...

" I promise to sing to you...when all the music dies..."

Ok...so the new year has been so refreshing! My main objective is to be a more positive me! Pretty much...not being the usual me! hahaha I am excited! Today was a great day! I can not remember the last time I had one but it was so nice! :) I had a great game of tennis with my sister,her husband, and friends and it was so nice to be outside enjoying the great weather! After that I bought some awesome shoes! tehehe And then back home and just spent time talking and doing nothing with my parents and sister....discussing life and all the great things to come in the near future. Like I said...today was great! And then I chit chat with my beloved cousin. hahaha Boy...she always has the best stories! :) I love our conversations! :D Full of sighs and laughter! Oh how we've grown up...and still growing! ^__^

So...the night doesn't end there....a girlfriend and I decided to grab a glass of wine...yum....I love wine! tehehe So...as we enjoyed our wine...we were interupted by quite the chatty older men. what can I say...I am a man magnet! BAHAHAHAA Anyhow, as these men made the night quite uncomfortable...I put my Southern University skills to use. It was quite awkward but you might as well make the best of it! Anyhow....long story short...drunkass homeboy sitting across from me took himeself down, along with 3 barstools to the ground! OMG...IT was HILARIOUS!!!! HAHAHAHA I am still laughing from the memory. I love random nights like this..it makes for great story telling! :) I hope everyone has been enjoying the new year as much as I have! CHEERS! Lets do it right in 2011!!! Let do it big!

January Again

It's January again...already? Boy did 2010 fly by. I don't know what awaits in 2011 but I hope it's a promising year! lol This year has been filled with plenty of ups and downs. I made many memories and had a blast doing it! This wasn't a year for me, but a year for my friends. Many of my friends had a BIG YEAR! I was happy to be apart of it! There for support and encouragement! Congrats to my lovely ladies for all their hard work and accomplishments in the past year!
Oh my gosh, I didn't realize it until my dear cousin reminded me that it's been 12 years since my grandfather past. Time really does fly by when you are not paying attention. We've all grown so much. The parents grew a part, but somehow all the cousins seemed to get a little closer. That is a warming feeling. At the end of the day, your family is truly all you have. I am glad we all have one another through bad times...and GOOD TIMES! :D Nothing like partying with your family...it doesn't get any better than that!
Lets see, I passed the hardest class in the department. I still smile really big when I think about it. This past fall semester was rough but it is also over and it's smooth sailing now on out. I am excited about graduating soon but a bit timid when the thought of "what will I do with my degree" crosses my mind. Luckily, I am not the only person that asks themselves that but I wish I was one of the few who had an answer instead. Oh well, lets see what the summer of 2011 will bring me. I will wait patiently! 2 more semesters and I will be free.
I don't know where to start as I recollect my thoughts about 2010. It came and went. Everything happened so quickly. I can say I've watch myself fall in and out of touch with myself. I began the year very calm and collected and ended on a rather peculiar note. Unfortunately, I have allowed some of my "bad" behavior to follow myself... as well as others into the new year. I hope they can shake it, as I am trying to do so myself. As I recently read in a friend's post, in the new year...I am going to try to "NOT" be me. I am going to be outrageous. We'll see how this goes. lol
I am proud to say I've come to terms with many people in my life. I've learn to accept certain relationships...for what they are. And what they are can sometimes mean not being close, not being a "best friend", and not being there. Instead, it is better to stand by. Simple as that. It is foolish to hold onto something that is not of mutual understanding. In order for any type of relationship to work, both parties must agree on the terms. No agreement means back to the drawing board. Sometimes it is better to lose a friend then keep trying. It can be the much needed serenity to calm the soul. Some people are meant to be in your life, and letting go is ok.
Last but not least, the love of my life...my best friend. He is someone who loves me unconditionally. I have never met anyone who tends to my heart's desires. He is my backbone, a reminder that it is ok to be vulnerable, and my voice of reason. The thing that I love most about Anthony is that he also loves those that are important around me. It displays his ability to love. I am excited about our future. I know we will be challenged by life, but Anthony is my armor. For he will protect me, and I will carry him.
Goodbye 2010, hello 2011. Best wishes to everyone.
This is my FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME!!! it melts my heart!!! :)
