I hope you don't let me down. I hope this feeling of always wanting to smile because of any simple act doesn't fade.

I'm happy. For the first time in a long time, I feel like I deserve to be happy.

My life is amazing.

I hope you know you make me smile.

Self-control

2008-12-06T16:14:59Z

I want to try and challenge myself. I want to see if there is any way possible I don't go over $600 in the month of December. I want to set my monthly spending limit, not including medical expenses or things of that nature, of course.

I saw my credit card statement this month and I was sure they'd be lower, but I had forgotten a few tidbits called Christmas gifts and baskets. I gave myself my X-mas gifts already, a pair of jeans, two pairs of shoes and a trip to Colombia (of sorts.)

I need this to be my limit. I'll allow myself a $700 limit this month because it is the X-mas season. I need to put an end to my credit card use unless for specific very important things. We'll see how this goes. I can control myself, but I want to be able to have this self-discipline because the economy is bad. I don't know if I'll loose my job in the process. The budget cuts keep coming left and right. I also have to dedicate more time to my job and school.

Off to get ready for a wedding. I didn't even do my nails because I 1- didn't have time and 2- didn't want to spend the money.

Oh and I'm tutoring on the side again and I am hoping to put that money in vacation fund. I really hope to do something fun this summer inb etween the mayhem that is graduate school and tutoring.

You Are Most Like Charlotte!

You are the ultimate romantic idealist

You've been hurt before, but that hasn't caused you to give up on love.

If anything, your resolve to fall in love is stronger than ever.

And it's this feminine optimism that men find most appealing about you.

Romantic prediction: That guy you are seeing (or crushing on)?

Could be very serious - if you play your cards right!

Sorry!

Hey everyone...I got home today and everything seemed to be hacked into. I am not sure what happened. The last time I logged into anything, well, it was from Dan's house last night.

My AOL account, myspace, facebook and everything else had been blocked or locked or whatever they call it. I am in the process of changing my password and stuff. I suppose since everything had the same password that might be the primary reason.

If you got any spam, sorry about that!

This morning I woke up so boggled down by thoughts. I'm a bit sad, a bit happy, really I don't know how I feel.

I'm all set for Valentine's Day. It's a cute and original thing. Do you think it's harder to shop for people you really care about? I find shopping for Daniel so difficult. Maybe it's just me.

Ten weeks left of my internship. I'm really counting down the days until I get hired and start getting a steady and decent salary.

Really...this post is nothing interesting. Jst felt like taking up space and saying hello.

It's our anniversary and I am feeling and looking like shit. I had an outfit planned, new underwear bought and everything and all I feel like doing is laying on my bed and watching reruns. Bleh!

I am a bad girlfriend. :(

My relationship is on a positive level right now and that's good. We are learning to communicate a bit more and that makes me happy. And when the little things get to us, we get over it quicker. Life is easier this way.

School is going great. My first observation went awesome. He wants me to be more assertive with my teacher. But he says I am natural educator. It felt good to hear that because of the fact I was doubting myself b.c of my cooperating teacher.

Back to my lesson plans...

I am having an extremely rough end to my day. I'm fuming!

Currently I am really upset at:
-liars
-flakes
-individuals who walk out on me during a time of need.

This is utter bullshit. Really, it is. I want to vent and vent and scream and cry. No one has the right to tell me how to do anything when it comes to my Father and his memory. You can suggest and give advice, but not demand or much less lie to me about it.

I'm more hurt today than I don't even know when.

Too late

2007-01-06T08:01:10Z

I'm so sore.

I feel the stress already. Grr...

I can't believe my internship is already here!

I wish I were on a hammock, listening to the sounds of the waves crashing into the night and feeling the breeze move through my hair.

Ya lo sé que corazón que no ve es corazón que no siente
corazón que te miente, amor
pero, sabes que en lo más profundo de mi alma sigue aquel dolor
por creer en ti
¿qué fue de la ilusión y de lo bello que es vivir?

¿Para qué me curaste cuando estaba herío
si hoy me dejas de nuevo el corazón partío?

¿Quién me va a entregar sus emociones?
¿Quién me va a pedir que nunca le abandone?
¿Quién me tapará esta noche si hace frío?
¿Quién me va a curar el corazón partío?
¿Quién llenará de primaveras este enero
y bajará la luna para que juguemos?
Dime si tú te vas, dime, cariño mío
quién me va a curar el corazón partío

Dar solamente aquello que te sobra
nunca fue compartir, sino dar limosna, amor
si no lo sabes tú, te lo digo yo
después de la tormenta siempre llega la calma
pero sé que después de ti, después de ti no hay nada

¿Para qué me curaste cuando ...

Kicking off the new year.

2007-01-01T17:33:04Z

I think I had one of the best New Year's I've ever had. It wasn't much different than any regular day, but I spent it the way I thought was appropriate for this year. I felt so much love when the clock struck midnight.

The hug my brother gave me brought me to near tears. It was as though he was communicating through that simple gesture. It was one of the most beautiful things ever.

I was with my Mom, who was happy to have her two children by her side. It had been over eight years since we've been together.

Daniel was by my side and I got a bit of a delayed New Year's kiss, but it was ok. Our good bye kiss made up for it. I'm hoping 2007 is a better one for our relationship. It ended on the right foot. All I could have asked for was to have him by my side at night.

JP was with us. I was glad he was there and not at the party.

As of now I don't have a New Year's resolution, maybe to just be nicer and devote more time to my family.

Let 2007 begin!

About four months ago, I was so excited over New Years. I wanted this one to be a party filled day, but as time went passing by, I realized I didn’t want that this year.

Last year’s New Year was very bland and boring. Not even a single drink, not a lot of laughter. It felt as though there was a real connection missing. It had a lot to do with the fact no one was super close back then. We hadn’t all bonded again.

I want this year to be fun and a bit more upbeat, but still something small and with those I love. I guess I’m real happy I’ll be spending it at home with a few friends and my Mom once she gets in from work.

2007 I feel is going to be a huge year for me. That final step until I’m really an adult. It’s scary, but it’s inevitable. I’m glad to be close to my family.

Whatever happens, happens. All I know is I want nothing more than health, happiness, strength and motivation for myself and those around me.

Christmas 2006

2006-12-24T16:21:56Z

Merry Christmas everyone!

I just wanted to thank my family and friends for being so wonderful.

I'm so eternally grateful for every single moment where we laugh together, cry together and just enjoy each other's company.

Keep in mind, it's not about what you get, but who you are with that makes this holiday special.

Be safe and eat lots of yummy food!

Mucho cariño...

Happy Feet

I've felt so happy today. Well, for half the day. I don't know. It's as though the strangest desire to finally get Christmas going came over me. I started thinking about graduation and my internship too.

The only bad part about today was spending 300 bucks. Bleh! I'll see what I keep and what I don't.

Oh yea, I want to go see Charlotte's Web, Happy Feet, Volver, Little Children, The Pursuit of Happyness, Dream Girls, Babel and The Queen. I might as well as live in a movie theater for a week.

The show must go on.

Love <3

Nothing feels greater than knowing someone is loving you with all they have.

I'm in love with love and in love with every person that loves me.
Despite the hardships my family and I are facing, it is amazing to know that I am so loved. And for this I will be ever thankful.

The End.

Can someone explain this to me?

2006-11-29T14:13:49Z

I was wasting time on myspace, instead of studying or doing homework and a question came to mind...

What is so cool about being a slut?

Can someone elighten me? Really...is it that you contract STD's faster? That your body is exposed to the world, so it's better that the mystery element behind sex and passion is gone? I'm not exacly sure. I know I dress like a nun compared to the rest of the people my age. But I also don't like to flaunt everything God's given me.

This has always been a topic on my mind. I don't like sluts. It's not a matter of insecurity. I have tits and ass and then some, God made me Cuban afterall. I am not beauty queen, but proud of who I am. I just don't understand why people seek confidence or reassurance in such ways. There are so many ways to branch out in this argument, from sensuality to sexuality and all that.

I think I'll stay a "non-slut" and know my boyfriend loves me for not just my goodies.

ZZZZzzzzzz....

2006-09-25T02:05:33Z

I'm so tired. I'm running on 3 1/2 hours of sleep. Dan just got into town. And now I need to find energy and do something nice with him. Sleep is nice, right? LOL. I wish I could have slept in today!!!

:(

2006-08-01T17:19:03Z

I'm very hungry!

I want to have Thai lunch and go get my hair cut and go to the beach and have smoothies and enjoy my summer and not have to work for a while.

Yes, I should have used commas and separated my thoughts...but I didn't.

FYI:

I'm happy! VERY happy.

I'm loving my life!

Soreness

2006-06-17T16:01:38Z

I want to go to the gym, but it's sooooooo far away.

I'm an idiot!

2006-06-13T12:16:35Z

I woke up half an hour early because I thought I missed my plane to China. Oy :/

It was so real, I had my underwear in my hand, I forgot to pack pants, I had picked up two shirts and one shoe. I'm a mess! Well, in my dreams anyway.

Yesterday was nice, my Mom and I talked a lot. And day one of volunteering went great!

Dancing!!

2006-05-26T17:13:17Z

Vanessa got me in the mood to go dancing again.

Nessa we have to plan it !!!!

It'll be fun if we do it with Amy too! :o)

NOTE:

2006-05-17T03:28:52Z

If anyone wants to volunteer or donate on Wednesdays around 6:30ish, I'll be in the Gables making PB&J for the homeless.

The Church (I'm not afficilated with the church, but am doing it because I'm looking to be more involved in general with my 'volunteering days) takes bread, jelly (any flavor) and peanutbutter; along with knives (for spreading) and I think baggies for the sandwiches.

Just email me or leave me a comment.

:o)
