My Birthday (22)

Image
Today is my 22nd Birthday. No more Forever 21. Currently, I am waiting for my friend to show up as we agreed that he'd show up earlier to prepare food for the party. A few of my other friends have bailed out on today or simply did not reply to me at all. Not going to lie, it has me feeling disappointed, seeing as today is my special day. At the same time, maybe I shouldn't be so worked up about my birthday, it's only one day out of 365. I'm just trying to appreciate my life and my birth, I understand that some of my friends are busy and have other priorities, but I'm quite certain that I have done a lot for these friends and have been thoughtful enough.  I'm not the center of the world . I feel as if I tend to neglect those who truly appreciate me and I associate myself with those who bring me down. In the past, I just wanted to be a good person and lay a helping hand, but it's as if I have been pulled down with them. It's up to myself ...

2018

Wow, it's been over a year since I've last posted in this blog. I've read some of my older blog posts and realized how I've developed over the years. I don't think I have any loyal fans of this blog yet, but if I do, well I'm so sorry I've been MIA! I'll really be trying to write in my blog more often. I think that I wrote about some interesting topics in my past posts... ~~~ Just some updates on my life: -I'm almost graduated from college. I have one semester to go and then I plan to transfer to university. I am more certain than before that a career involving psychology and helping other people is what I'm destined to do -Before this past semester, I went to Mexico with a couple of my friends and by far it was my favorite vacation. Additionally, I will have traveled 4 times in the year 2018!  ~Hawaii, Mexico, Toronto~ -I can speak Spanish quite well, but I have a ways to go before reaching native level! -I've uploaded qui...

A Day of Nothing

Image
-Holy Saturday- I'm still in my pajamas. I had the intention of doing nothing today, and that's what I (almost) pulled off. I say almost because I (obviously) did something, just nothing productive.  So what did I do today? Well... I laid in bed, probably until around noon. Then I got out of bed and ate oatmeal, then sat on my couch in the living room and watched the Cavs vs Pacers playoff game. Halfway through the game, I decided to go back to bed and watch the game from my iPad. [I still prayed the Novena (2nd day)]. After the Pacers lost, I continued to lay in bed, just thinking about nothing really. I watched a few Youtube Videos, which is a bad habit I've had recently, watching on my iPad in bed. Once I got out of bed again, I finally washed my face + etc. When my mom saw me she asked if I was depressed, but I replied with 'No, I told you two days ago I planned to do nothing today.' But I think it's kinda true, I'm not exactly depresse...

Some things as of late + My first UBC visit

Image
Wednesday April 12, 2017  ~ Today I woke up feeling a little sad. Or have I been like this for awhile? It’s hard to tell. Is it my perceived lack of sleep? Is it my status/position in life? Is it because I don’t have too many friends? Is it because I find everybody around me “fake”? Is it all the above? I don’t know. I mean, I’m writing this as recently I submitted photos to the model agency I’m a part of and they provided a lackluster response, being vague with the specifics that they want. It’s nothing to be too upset about, especially since I’m able to re-send other photos (they didn’t like the photos where you couldn’t see my face). But once I received that email, it killed my vibe even more. I was studying at UBC for the first time with a girl and I really wasn’t feeling the conversation or anything afterwards. Maybe she felt the same. Hard to tell but gotta play it out I suppose. ~~ I am currently writing this on the bus on the way back home. ...

Inflammation

My sensitive skin. Wishing it was smooth and soft Like a baby's bum. This is a haiku which I wrote this morning and 'performed' in class today. I know that it's quite the cliche,  but I wrote it in reflection of the current state of my face: Inflamed.   I don't normally write haikus, but it is something in which I've always wanted to write more of.  But anyways, my face is red hot & burning again. Why? Well, I think it originated from the excess intake of carbohydrates which I consumed yesterday for lunch; AKA Sushi, with a hella lot of rice.  Followed by playing basketball in the first time in forever, sweating may have not helped the cause. Followed by eating the left over sushi + some baby biscuits. Then I  felt it  and  saw it;  I began splashing a bunch of things on my face, including the aloe vera mask you see me wearing in the picture below. That prob...

Sleep Attire

Image
Today I learned that it could be potentially harmful in the long run to wear tight(ish) clothing to bed such as long johns. Reason being is because it could hurt your fertility, since your 'area' needs to breathe. So if you ever find yourself with your hands in your pants when you wake up, or you're ever itchy down there, this could be why. Just saying :) PSA of the Day. Yeah, I've been wearing Long Johns almost everyday in the winter season, even to bed. (This is not me in the picture) > After further research and a few more clicks, other pages and studies suggested that sleeping  naked is beneficial for the long run because of your body temperature. I guess if you get cold then you just gotta pile on those blankets or turn up the heat? 😉

4:45AM MAR 22

N- play me never, give up my chain never, give up my pride never, show my pain never, dirt on my name never. Currently I am sitting in the waiting room of the hospital after a scare with my mother reacting to prescribed antibiotics. She felt discomfort and tightness in her body almost immediately after taking the pill. This was at 10:45PM, right before heading to bed. My mother called my aunt who was a nurse, then called EMT. Shortly afterwards we were picked up in an ambulance and driven to the hospital. The ambulance ride was aight, nothing special, & definitely not the first time I've been in the back of an ambulance. Although usually I'm the one who is the patient. I sat with my draw string bag on my lap. I made sure to bring my laptop to write this post, along with three poetry books I've been meaning to read, my rosary, my cellphone, and my only working pair of headphones (my hyperX Cloud 2 gaming headphones). Unfortunately I forgot my notebook, so I miss...
