To My Love

Sometimes things don’t work out the way you plan. One moment you can be chasing down a dream that you once had years ago only to be woken up by something real. That’s the way I feel in this relationship. I mean, it’s not perfect, but we work it out. And now, it’s been two years and so many days and I still feel the blush on my face sometimes. It must be something right? I...

Shopping Horrors

I hate shopping during the holidays. I feel like I should make a vblog about this one day, but just in case I forget, let me write down a list of why I hate holiday shopping [with my mother]. - Why are there so many Asian people at the mall on a Wednesday? I know the economy was bad, but shit. Shouldn’t you guys be at home or trying to find a job? - Why don’t people understand...

I don't know anymore

Have you ever had those moments where you wanted something so bad that you were willing to fight to get it and then in the end, you find out the fight isn’t worth it even though you still want to keep fighting? It’s quite strange really. Now I feel as though I can’t continue to act like myself fully. And now I feel like nothing is motivating. Why should I do this if it’s...

You might not be aware of it, but something is happening. There are forces out there that want to take away your voter registration ability by tactics used in order to keep African Americans away from the polls during Jim Crow. The youtube video,...

Two Sides of a Fence

I sat there in the waiting room for what seemed like seconds. There was a person sitting next to me, he was dressed nicely as I was. The other girls in the waiting room were dressed nicely as well. However, he did not look excited to start the internship. His head was down and his fingers intertwined with each other. A police officer called his name and he stood up to go to him. Down the hall,...

Busyness

Here I am looking at this email that tells me my internship is going to start at 0800 on Wednesday with a meeting. It seems kind of surreal. These two days before that fateful day, I will be doing what I have always been doing, but after that, what will my life look like? What will it revolve around? The sheriff’s department? I have found that I gravitate towards sociology of law mostly. I...

Laptopless

Summer school has started and I feel as though I am going through the same motions again. There isn’t that many people at summer school but still more than last year which means that finding some solitude isn’t going to work out the way I planned. Currently I have successfully moved into my temp home until the lease is open in august in which I must move once more. I feel calm though,...

Stressors

I finally moved in! What went right -everything looks really organized right now -my room is bigger than it was and I don’t really even have a room to live in -the living room is bigger -my housemates are awesome :) What went wrong -my laptop is dying. The fan apparently doesn’t work anymore and I have to send it in to get it fixed most likely. -The uhaul that we rented hit a...

Moving

I think things are due for change. Packing up everything that I own, stuffing my lotions in Albertson’s bags and looking at all that needs to be cleaned tomorrow. It looks like a lot of things to move, but when I’m done, I don’t think that we’re going to have used up the whole day. It feels weird to have both of my housemates out already. Whenever their door is open, there...

Hello World :D

I found Tumblr again. :) It’s winter break, year II of college and it doesn’t seem like anything has changed since the last time that I blogged with the exception of my haircut. December Calender of Events That Happened So Far 12th: Went to Gilroy Outlets with the family. I stayed up until 4 prior and was really sleepy the entire time. Went home and took a really long nap. It felt...

Wicked~

Woke up at 8 Hoped Hector would come early so my mom wouldn’t fuss about me. But she ended up doing my eyes and my lips and everythingggg and then even made me wear heels. So I guess that plan didn’t work out so well haha. Was sooo excited when Hector picked me up. I swear I was squee-ing the whole time in my head. Met up with Tomy and Danny at the Bart Station. I can’t stand...

Tumbling

Hello Tumblr. I haven’t used you in forever! I think I should start again if I have time on my hand, like right now, when I’m waiting to go to Puffy’s art show. So UCSB has been good so far. I’m really stressed about my classes because math has never been my best subject and to think that the professor doesn’t teach as I would like him to teach. Oh well, you...

Here I Am Again

Hi again. So I’m here writing while everyone is sleeping. UCSB has been good to me. Finals are over, I have an apartment for next year (living with Chantha and Demerie while the guys live like practically 10 feet away from us in another unit), and also I’m back in San Jose for two weeks. Yep, life is good. :] I haven’t written in a while because I usually write when there’s...

A Tuesday Like Any Other.

Friday Paranormal Activity with Demerie and Tomy - Scared of all moving things for the rest of the night. When we were walking home, Demerie thought I was the girl because my hair had fallen over my face and she screamed out which made me scream out and made Tomy jump. I spent the night in her room because I was too scared to go and sleep in my own room. After that, I got over it, the movie...

This is Halloween

So I went down to Chatsworth on Friday thinking that I was going to be spending the whole weekend there. However, everyone was coughing sick when I got there, and sadly, thanks to that, I have a slight sore throat now. It hurts every time I swallow. We went to eat dinner at Pho So.1 in Simi Valley. When we were driving there, the sunset looked so beautiful on the horizon. Like we were at the top...

Hopeless Romantic

iam-crystal: steph-rivera: chelseababy: is the type of lover I am. I love & I love HARD. I believe in happy endings & finding my prince. I’m all for that mushy gushy stuff, that sappy shit, that butterflies in my stomach, that having our ” own ” song bullshit, celebrating anniversaries, surprises & little things that count moments, kisses on the forehead, cuddling even when it...

Popcorn: my new sworn enemy

So I haven’t blogged in forever, but that is mainly because I am not in my dorm to sit down and actually get a blog going. Everything seems to be going by really fast. I mean, it’s been a month already? Why do I feel like I’ve been here forever? I mean, I spend a lot of time with my friends and we’re getting closer, but it feels like we’re doing it a lot faster since...
