such is life

i am so grateful for everything that i have. even for all of the mistakes i have made or the bad things that have happened to me. i feel like everything has made me more wise, less naive. i was just thinking about a few of my friends and it just breaks my heart to see such awful things happen to such amazing people. as much as i know that they can come out of those situations so much stronger, i just hate to see them struggle.

truth be told: nice guys AND nice girls finish last.. but i am sure the long wait will be well worth it.

best statement ever: (reinforced by my father in a book he gave me last year): "not every guy is like the one who hurt you" i want ALL of my friends to remember that!! just because some idiot broke your heart does not mean that the rest are spoiled, and even though it will be harder to give your heart away again, don't be afraid, just be more careful!! without heartbreaks, how could we ever recognize true love (:


LOVE YOU ALLLLL

love & kisses <3

SPRING BREAK!

okay soo this month has been PSYCHOTIC. which can basically explain why my last post was well, forever ago to say the least. anyway i have been sooo busy with job/school/friends/family i can't seem to balance anything! but i did have a wonderful spring break... even though i had to do bits and pieces of my online class (NEVER TAKING ONE EVER AGAIN) while i was there.
soo kelsey invited me to go to cali with her and a few of her guy friends! i was planning on just working over break but a vacation was sounding better and better.. so i agreed of course and last friday we drove the 14 hours to a cute little town called windsor (her fam owns a timeshare over there). i hardly ever go to northern california, so i was pretty stoked. when i do go to nor-cal, its to visit some fam on my dad's side, we had a few weddings in monterey (near san jose), and my dad used to always go to the santa cruz boardwalk when he was a kid so we went there a few times too! on our first day of adventuring we went to santa cruz to go to the boardwalk, the weather was excellent, although slightly windy. I ended up having to buy a sweatshirt but its cute so i don't mind. the rides were a ton of fun (not as good as d-land, but lets be honest- what is as good as d-land?!?!) we ended up going on the log ride about 5 times, and switched formations each time (front-back), no matter WHERE i sat, i always ended up getting waaay more soaked than anyone. hahahha after the boardwalk we went and got ice cream at this cute AMAZINGLY GOOD ice cream parlor called mariannes. i am in love, and would probably be about 50 pounds heavier if i lived near there.

time for a new paragraph! okay, so the next day we went to the jelly-bean factory! woo woo! it was really cute, and smelled really good, and made me REALLY hungry... in short, i loved it, even if i am not a huge jelly bean fan! the next day was my favorritee, we went to san francisco, and now i reaaallly wanna live there. i went and saw my cousin and his wifey and their kids while i was there and it was so much fun!! we explored downtown and me and kels saw some amazingly attractive men. <3 <3 such a good time! the next couple days were beach days/ exploring downtown windsor days. it was a really fun time. i am very happy that i went and that kelsey invited me! thanks kels<3

any whoo- i am getting close to finishing the online class, and hope/NEED to be done before i leave for AZ this friday (apparently we bought a condo there a year ago... ??). its gonna be tough vacationing the second week of school, but i need to go some place warm and relax for a bit. i have had waay too much on my plate lately.

as for guys- lets be real. do i REALLY have time for guys? i actually feel kind of bad/anti-social.. i mean of course i hang out with my guy friends all the time.. but whenever a guy asks me out on a date i am immediately turned off/ creeped out.. i think its because i already know what i want.. haha and he wont be home for well, a while. besides i am WAY more picky now. i have to weed out the bad ones and it seems that there are SOO many of them! my dad once told me (in a book he gave me last year) that not all boys are like the ones that hurt me.. i guess i should take that advice and give some of them a try.. we'll see. hahah

i will post some pictures soon <3

love & kisses <3

busy busy weekend/week

this past week has been fairly psychotic. hahah well i have been going from home to seattle and back almost everyday because my mother is in Maryland watching the kiddies. I told her while she was gone I would come home and help out. I don't think I have been a ton of help though hahah. Not to mention finals are just around the corner! I have a research paper due, a final project due, and little nonsense papers on top of that. not to mention my communication assignments. basically i just looked over everything i have to have done by next week... and i am thinking that this weekend will be spent mostly indoors. so sad, but so true.

last weekend however, was eventful. it was ju's last weekend in town :-( so friday, while there were a ton of people at my house, i snuck out to go to his going away party at josh's place. that was fun, i ended up being there extremely late.. which ultimately resulted in the deterioration of my health. i woke up saturday, with absolutely NO voice, my body aching and my head throbbing. saturday was difficult too, ju had his more formal going away party at his house in issaquah, and then i went to tiffer's 21 bash in bellevue. i couldn't talk to anyone, because the vocal cords were not really working at the time.. sunday, although i felt like crap, i went to church because i knew i'd be sad if i didn't! i lasted the entire three hours, and then went to my grandma's afterwards for dinner. i was fine all throughout then too.. but as soon as i got home i died. i had the worst headache and a terrible fever.. it was awful.. so i let my boss know that i wouldn't be at work the next day and i went to sleep with a cold press on my head. monday i woke up still feeling yucky.. but then i ate an entire box of samoa girl scout cookies and i was miraculously all better! hahahhahaha.. actually i don't think it was the samoas... but true story!!


anyway i should really focus. i hate being a procrastinator. one day i will change, i promise.

LOVE AND KISSES <3
