too much fun leads to bad study habits.

I dont think theres anything much worse than beginning your week on a sunday, stoked about the funfilled activities planned in advance months ahead for the week, waking up on the right side of the bed every morning, took the day off for my only ZzzZz class on tuesday because I checked my planner and theres no quiz or test this week for any of my classes..and to celebrate all the wins the bay area had yesterday..only to force myself to go to class this bright and early morning, look around to see my classmates studying, and to find out i have a test i had no clue about. F-M-L. well. maybe this is a sign from God tellin me to stop showing off how eventful my week has been or that not everyones life is a pocketfull of (buster) poseys. Whatever, i guess i should be thankful i have my precious eyes to look at other people's artwork and my phone's internet.. only to realize people around me are covering their papers and my internet doesnt want to work of all days. people and phones are so stingy today! My rollercoaster cart just dropped dramatically without giving me a warning. Hopefully Seattle tonight can prove this horrible day wrong.

...and we meet again, seattle.

for the sports fans.

I don't think any one sports fan in the Bay area could stand the anticipation for all three of tonights bay area showdowns!! We're all getting antsy...I woke up on the right side of the bed today, 30 minutes earlier than i should've woke up and first thoughts were WARRIORS AND GIANTS!! ..and of course the sharks are playing today, but like most...we'll hop on that bandwagon later..deeper into the season. Game 1 of the warriors season opener and Game 1 of the giants -texas world series game in one day? .....Warriors, Giants, 9ers, raiders, and the sharks are all playing in one month? It's a GREAT day to be a sports fan!! ....I pray the 9ers and raiders can give us something to root for besides their crappy quarterbacks. Lets gooo GIANTS AND WARRIORS!

McRib me up!

November 2. McRibs are back at ALL mcD's. for only $1.99. only for SIX weeks. get it while you can!

2 bad news in 2 minutes, poor mom.

I wonder if she ever did get a call...the dun dun dun call. haahahah

Forgiven.

Forgiveness. "forgive and forget. forgive and forget." We grew up thinking that forgiving means slightly rekindling fires and dropping the bitter tension with someone that had hurt us, emotionally or physically. Forgiveness had such an empty definition and was so simple to use and throw around back then. Then as you get older, when you gain more pride and knowledge, forgiveness doesn't come so easy to do when someone hurts you. It becomes more of a bitter act of thought and pain that can sometimes overpower your mind and stress you out.
And sometimes, in the end, you just forgive them because holding a grudge that means little to nothing five years down the road somehow and somewhere takes a toll on you. so you forgive, not because you want to be the best of friends with them again but because you want to kill that little evil memory cell that roams around in your mind making you feel bitter everytime you think about it. So forgive them, in some but most cases, not for them but for yourself because forgiving means freeing your mind, doing it for yourself, and having one less thing to stress off of.
Forgive but NEVER forget.

whats wrong?

haha, good laugh with these ridiculous photos. courtesy of emily milton.

Golden State of Mind.

I would die to see this again this season. Of course without the jacka, but with CURRY and LIN. I'm waiting warriors, I'm waiting patiently for you Just get into the playoffs is all I ask. This Wednesday, it.begins.

chivalry, the woman edition.

Since i wrote that one post a while back for men to be chivalrous. Heres one from one of my all time fav. movies, A Bronx Tale...for the ladies. Although I'm not sure how this would work in this new technological automatic doors...I guess just press the button on your end? And if your date just seems to not have an automatic door or an alarm, more power to you because you get to do this.....

"Alright, listen to me. You pull up right where she lives, right? Before you get outta the car, you lock both doors. Then, get outta the car, you walk over to her. You bring her over to the car. Dig out the key, put it in the lock and open the door for her. Then you let her get in. Then you close the door. Then you walk around the back of the car and look through the rear window. If she doesn't reach over and lift up that button so that you can get it: dump her...Listen to me kid. if she doesn't reach over and lift up that button so that you can get in, that means she's a selfish broad and all you're seeing is the tip of the iceberg. You dump her and you dump her fast."
-Sonny, from a Bronx Tale.

Sweeeeet victory...whats better?

Baseball playoff game- checked off my bucketlist!

Because there's nothing better being in a stadium filled with crazy drunken giants fans, twistin and twirl'n our free swag rags in the air with everyone else, screaming at the top of our lungs, standing for five hours, dodging slutty ugly drunk girls tryna dance, free tickets, good company, watchin the dozens of phillies fans get harassed, free giants nlcs playoff series cups, and having the GIANTS SWEEEEEEEEEP (well almost) and kill the phillies today in a close game during the bottom of the 9th. GIANTS, YOU RAN MY LIFE TODAY. anything other than that?....watching the game on a comfy couch and seeing every detail of the game in replay..but experience is ALWAYS worth the thrill and ride! shout out to the navarro's for the hoookup!

immm soooo ready for the warriors to make it to the playoffs, season begins a week from yesterday! #BAYAREALOVE.

writer's block part II.

I've got horrible writers block again busy with midterms,papers, and a lil bit of bruno mars & oth on my mind but I have a couple of hilarious stories in mind, my i'll process them in my head for while, add some unecessary details to them, and share them with you. But for now, i've just been relaxing my brain with such great great great writings that have made it to my top ten favs of this month. I love, love, LAHV great pieces of peoples thoughts so i thought i'd share them with you..well some of them cause im greedy like that.

"Obviously there are things that I regret, things I would take back, things I would change if I could, but we all have to live with the residue of our choices, and the consequence of our actions."-Brooke Davis, on building her company and losing it all in a matter of seconds.

"...Letting go does not mean to necessarily completely forget, it just simply means to keep moving forward. For us to continue on our destination, we need to release all the excess baggage we have on our journey. We must learn to travel light, in essence in order for the show to go on, we should realize who should sit in the front row and who should be moved to the "balcony of our lives" but cause not everyone deserves a front row seat." -Carmela, on letting go of the past.

"It's incredible how with great ease and difficulty we manage to get through classes by copying answers to homework or doing a half-ass job week after week after week. Then exam time creeps up on you and you just realized how deep the hole you dug yourself is. One deep, dark pit of despair. It's amazing how easily we are able to dupe ourselves into believing we are trying when in actuality, we are doing the bare minimum. Doing just barely enough, whatever that entails, to get us through another day- one day closer to the weekend and then we can numb our brains and free ourselves from the claws of reality."- Shannon, on fooling ourselves with reality and school.

"...while a functional (might I add very needed) CD holder doesn't exactly scream "OMG I want to be your girlfriend!" (at least I hope it doesn't), I do think the whole simple notion and thought behind it whispers, "Hi. I was thinking about you. I hope you think about me too" (at least I hope it does). Yeah, yeah, yeah. The simple gesture could also say, "your lazy ass is never gonna buy your own cd holder and i'm tired of shit falling in my lap so here thanks FOR NOTHING." I guess it all depends on the people involved. But to me, regardless of how it's taken, or what the gift is, as cliche as it sounds, it really is the thought behind it. I rather get a pair of $60 Giant bleacher tickets "for nothing," than a thousand dollar "im sorry" tennis bracelets. Ultimately, a cd holder is just a cd holder. Not an engagement ring. Not a macbook. Not even a pair of Js. But while a cd holder really isn't anything, it was done for nothing. And that to me? Definitely means something. -Abi, on giving and receiving for "nothing".

"..I know, it's crazy, right? Target? Are we going to slow dance to a demo of Sounds of Nature over in the candles aisle of the Housewares section? Well, only if she's into that sort of thing! But even is she isnt, there's romance in target, people. Just think of all the things a person has to do in Target and what those things can reveal about a person. If we're in the greeting cards section and she says, "Oh wait, my co-worker just had a baby, I need to get her a card." I can tell shes thoughtful. If she is browsing for an extra long period of time in the cookware section, I believe it's safe to assume she enjoys cooking, and since I enjoy eating, a whole conversation about the kitchen can ensure. Every time I'm in Target, I enjoy grabbing one of the big balls and shooting it in the basket, so clearly she has gone out on a date with a big kid. The list goes on and on."
-Jozen, on going on a first date running errands

....ok, maybe its top five for this list. haha...

Excuse me, Don't Intrude.

I know im getting a bit ridiculous with Antoine Dodson via FB and singing the song all day.. but I can't believe how big he's gotten to even have his own costume which im totally having second thoughts about to getting it. HAHA In case you're missing out and is lost with what im talkin about, heres the vids and how famous this has gotten him. After this,he won couple of $$$ in the case, and bought his family and himself a new house outta "linkin" park.

The original vid.


The remix song.


a chance to perform at the BET awards..and seeing the crowd sing with him?..priceless.


After you've gotten the song stuck in your head, feel free to buy his costume and walk around promoting people to stay away while hidin yo kids, yo wife, and even yo husbands cause they rapin' errybodee out hurr. http://www.bedintrudercostume.com/

Defending the "different"

"He's different, He's not like all the other ones. Trust me."

You know how you're in relationships where your loved ones don't agree with your specific friend or "significant other"? They keep askin you why youre still with him in disapproval finding every reason why he's not any good for you. And then you try in every possible way to defend him by saying "He's not like the rest, he's different. I just know he is." Because now, in your world, you try everything in your power to try to find the little things that barely makes sense to make him "different" from the other guys. But in reality, the characteristics that make him "so different" are far less of what they think of why he's different.

And when they're tired of hearing all the disapproval, some couples have the nerves to say " So what, we Bonnie & Clyde, Us against the world."

Listen to the people who really look out for you sometimes. I'm not saying give up all hope on him. But they see from the outside of the bubble you're revolving your life around. As hard as it is to take in what they're saying, they mean nothing but good. Because eventually when relationships don't work with your loved ones 9 times out of 10, you'll have more trouble and problems fighting to mend relations with your "significant other" trying to change him to prove to your loved ones that he doesn't fit their negative stereotype when he knows nothing but to be and act like himself. And after you've defended him, got into multiple arguments with your loved ones about him, chose him over them, lost and sacrificed family and friends, he eventually did nothing but prove he was everything they told you he was in the end, "not different". So much for being "Us against the world, bonnie without clyde" huh?

And after your heart was just dumped into the gutter and lost everyone including him, you now have to work your way back into your family and friends heart that you've betrayed and go in with a thick face knowing that the next time you date and somebody close to you tells you they dont approve, don't take it lightly. Because nothing is worse showing up to family and friends gatherings without "him" and having them talk behind your back about what happened.

So next time you tell me "He's different from the others" I'm pretty sure he's not because if he was different you wouldn't have to explain we could just see for ourselves. So realize who youre defending, because in the end you'll just look like Bonnie without Clyde.

doowops & hooligans.

I just got a hold of the latest and bestest bruno mars debut cd, DOOWOPS AND HOOLIGANS. thanks to mi hermana. its hands down BOMB.COM. Its totally worth how ever much they sell it in stores. HOP ON IT, its total eargasm with some deep bass too. He just melted my ears (and heart) and i'm sure he'll melt yours too. Stop clicking and listening to his songs one by one on youtube and just buy or dl the cd. After listening to his cd, forget bout his coke addiction, he makes me wanna join in on doin it when you make music this good. Ok, maybe not join in on the coke sesh, but you get what i mean. GIT IT!!!

well said.

" I don't understand how you can smile all day long but cry yourself to sleep at night. How pictures never change but the people in them do. How your best friend can become your worst enemy, or how strange it is when your worst enemy turns into your best friend. How forever turns into a few short months that you'd do almost anything to...get back. How you can let go of something you once said you couldn't live without. How even though you know something is best for you, it just hurts the same. How the people you once wanted to spend every second with you, think a few minutes of their time is too much to spare. How people make promises despite knowing how ocmmon it is for promises to be broken. How people can erase you from their lives just because it's easier than working things out." -annanomz.

Promises & Change.

1. Promise (verb, noun): an express assurance on which expectation is to be based. courtesy of dictionary.com.

When was the last time you made a promise. Promises aren't meant to be broken, but why does it seem like breaking a promise is becoming a fashion?

Making a promise is serious. Breaking a promise is even more serious. Because when you break that promise, you not only lose out on what you had planned but it simply means that you don't take whoever you promised seriously. Because I can say I promise easily. It's simple. But like they say, actions speak louder than words. And when your actions don't match your promise, you basically lie to yourself and train yourself to become someone no one can eventually trust. Because breaking promises is a similar to a lie. And you can only lie so much until you get caught or begin to believe you own lies. So the next time you make a promise, think about it. Remember the last time someone promised you something and didn't follow through, leaving your heart and mind's expectations down?

I think its similar to the same concept as having your birthday and not having your closest friends show up for your birthday after they said they would or saying they would go with you somewhere,planned it all out, then last minute bailing on you with some unreasonable or petty excuse. Painful? yes. Forgivable? yes. Forgettable? no. You can only come up with certain excuses that will legitly get you by. Because if youre not in the hospital or about to be or your parents still got the leash on you..i dont think theres much to compromise for.

Promising someone something and breaking it is like an empty promise saying that you'd never leave this earth. KIMPOSSIBLE.

So you be the judge, make wise decisions, and think before you act. Friendship is a two way street, always forgivable never forgettable.

"Be the change you want to see in the world" - Mahatma Ghandi.

writers block.

I'm having a fat case of writers block..Does that mean i'm not living life to its fullest cause i have nothin to share? Oh, that's right i'm def not thanks to school. Writings and stories shall continue as soon as this block passes. But until then, enjoy this crazy indian summer weather outdoors, celebrate the NLCS giants win, and don't forget OTH tnight! git on it!

true love.

..including loving your enemies..true love.

When reality sets in.

GS Warriors freshman orientation, studying at the library, haunted houses, birthdays, reunions, and celebrations. Just some of the highlights of my week. Think about yours. Not just about the week but of the whole year.

I think even though I've had one of the best years of my life, there have been times through out the year that gives you a reality check about life. Life is precious & nothing is every promised tomorrow. I don't think we take that in enough as we should maybe because we don't want to think about negative things? But I think we've been so spoiled in our own little ways, we take everything for granted.

Some things can take us off our ass one second in excitement and and the next second sweep us right back on our asses. (Excuse the foul usage of the word ass for some readers.) Because you just never know what will happen the very next second. I'm just sayin cause I just experienced something so emotionally draining. Me and couple of high school friends planned to have this little reunion together talkin about how it'd be so fun with all this hype and then the next day, its cancelled cause one of our friends son was diagnosed with a tumor at age 3. Its so bittersweet that we all come together for each other. Bitter because we never hang out as much as we should..and sweet because everytime we do get together, its nothing but jokes, giggles and smiles. Then to find out a mutual friend from h.s. passed with bloodclot in the lungs ..all in one weekend. Terrible. Hold onto and cherish the ones you love because you just never know when they finish their mission here on earth.

I need to just admit my faith is paper thin
I'm feeling so burned out On religion
I say an empty prayer
I sing a tired song
I need to just admit that the passion's gone

And I want to get it back
You told me Look for You and I will find
So I'm here Like I'm searching for the first time
Revive me, Jesus Make this cold heart start to move
Help me rediscover You.

-Starfield- Rediscover You

------------------------------------------------
I admit, i've been so focused on trying to get a job, getting my lazy self to each class everyday, the 9ers, giants, in the process of the warriors, and keeping myself busy so i can take my mind off couple things i hate to think about and stumble upon that bring me down. These have led me to feel burnt out trying to find myself walking with God. Instead i feel as if he's ahead of me while i'm slowly getting tired cause of all these other things. This song by starfield (to all the ones who went to the concert and still are on the starfield hype, -___- youre rubbing off on me) describes everything i'm feeling, hopefully my empty prayers will become powerful prayers, leaving everything up to God and reminding myself that no matter what i do and where i am, I may plan my course, but i know HE determines my steps. Proverbs 16:9.

Playoff craze!

In less than 12 hours, and the papers are out! yeahhhooo for the giants and the rest of the bay area fans who have stuck by them crappy or not crappy. (i admit, i hopped on the bandwagon) But it doesnt matter when youre from the bay, you never hop on your own cities bandwagon, you just support! Warriors, you are next! ...and maybe some hope for the 9ers. #BAYsupport.

Now the bars and restaurants with tvs will be packed for the playoff series all over the bay...just like warriors back in 07. WE BELIEVE!
