Aloha!

Irreplaceable

I should really try to put an end to my bitter way of thought... but for now, VENT VENT VENT! aslkdfjalfa. I really do need a trip out of Sacramento, because I know it has it's perks, but recently I have just been surrounded with fake, loud, annoying people! And I need a break from it all -__-

I literally want to just sock someone. Excuse my aggressiveness. But I really do wish the opposite sex knew how much trouble they cause us sometimes. You're all blind! This is so cheesy, but... "I could have another you in a minute, Matter fact he'll be here in a minute" Lmfaoooo. I'm crazy. But whatever. You just can't handle. :) I wonder if it is possible to be hurt so many times that you just go numb, OR you just don't care anymore. I think thats where I'm at. The careless stage.

Screw you time-wasters, I don't need you. Keepin' my eye on the prize. Priorities straight, nothin' else in my way.

God. Fam. School. Friends. Job. Press PLAY. Intersection Youth. That's already a crap load off top... no room for bops, so BYE!

*OH BTW -- I'm so excited for our show May 15/16. Hopefully everyone comes out to support. Practice was tiring & fun today. Joe came back to practice! Missed that foo.

"We may throw the dice, but the Lord determines how they fall." Proverbs 16:33

Caught up.

Sooooo I finally have some time for myself, and a day just to do.... absolutely nothing at all. It can be very relaxing after having such a tiring week. Relying and trusting more in God for everything that happens to me. Learning not to take everything in my own hands. There is so much out there that I still want to accomplish.

I'm slacking in school but I still maintaing average grades. I'm not satisfied with where I'm at, I need to step it up.

I love Press PLAY, the hard work will pay off for our showcase in May. Come and support! I'm excited. I'm enjoying this moment.

I love love love being busy, even though I don't get sleep at all. It's worth it. Work now, play later.

I'm praying I get this job, not for my own selfish reasons but to help my family out since they do cover a lot of my expenses. I want this oppurtunity and chance to be able to pay them back for what they have provided me, along with treating friends out, saving for college and debut, etc.

Yesterday was my baby brother's birthday and I miss him a lot.. I'm really missing my grandpa's... Steven too. :/ Longboarded to his site the other day. A year ago, I was still attending Valley & I believe me and Steven were getting to know each other. Missing him, still loving him, never forgetting him.

Having full days = no time to think upon things that are not worthy of my time. Time is precious. I still have a lot of dreams to fulfill, I still have a life to live.

LIVELAUGHLOVE. Graduation for '09 is right around the corner. Enjoy it while you can, because it won't last forever. SPREAD THE JOY. THERE IS HOPE. PEACE!

P.L.A.Y. It Forward

The cause of my sleep deprivation, crankiness, large eye bags, and the main reason why I don't have time for anyone anymore...

...but it's all worth it :) COME TO OUR SHOW.

I need SHLEEP.

Honestly tho, rollin’ off 2 hours of sleep every night? It’s gonnna be like this from now until MAY 15 & 16 for our upcoming Press P.l.a.y. show. It’s craziness but I’m lovin’ it. Better than being bored, contemplating upon things that shouldn’t even be on my mind. I’m so close to being over you.

This week, my days consist of

7:45am: School. Total bore.

4:00pm: Infinite Motion auditions/clinics, I need the experience & I’ma do it big my senior year sooo whyyy not give it a shottt!

7:00-whenever: Maricel’s debut practices

10:00-3:00am: Press PLAY

DANCEDANCEDANCEDANCEDANCEDANCEDANCEDANCEDANCE.

Whatsss good. I’m really missin’ you spring break. already tired of schoooooool, bouta' throw up from everyone's FAKENESSSS!

You must not know about me

Soooo.. IT’S OVER ;(

Peace out, spring break; Hello summer. Hellla can’t wait, helllla tired of broads at times, but at the same time I got mad love for em. Spring break was chill, I really didn’t have to be going all over the place to relax myself.. I’m thankful. Don’t need anyone to complete me. Doing my own.

Lemme know what game you’re tryna play so I can play too.

IDGAF 'BOUT NO HOE.

You already know though.

Mood rings.

If I let logic take place of my heart's position, I would in a second...but it seems that emotions always take over & I'm still learning how to stay on top. My time will come when I can finally be my own person. A little pissed off & still kind of hurt, but it's whatever. Time to focus on the up side, but I guess tonight is just another one of those nights; Tomorrow I wake up with a brand new day, at least I can look forward to that. I won't let it weigh me completely down.

I swear, it seems like its up and down, up and down, effing tiring but it's what I gotta go through. It's called high school hormones. Those horriible chemical substances that hits us at these teenage years. Don't worry, you get over it around your mid-twenties. Let's look forward to the day when we all have our heads screwed on right.

I hate being a girl. "Let's get emotional girls to all wear mood rings."

City tomorrow, so relieved. It's about time I'm outta' the Grove. dress outlets, shopping downtown/Haight, annual ice cream @ Mitchell's, & family business.

:) There is hope.

BTW - I freaking love my cousin because she's hella wise even tho she irritates me. LOL peep her latest post, April 7 2009:

A day of optimism

The only way things are going to change for you is when you change.
Make sure that the outside of you is a good reflection of the inside of you.

• Boys, flings, crushes, relationships in general; they all come and go. I am learning to accept that, and I am learning to move on, learning not to dwell so much in the past because there's a bright future ahead of me. If that means being independent and single for a while, then so be it, but I'm doing my thing... that goes with the saying, never fully rely on anyone. It's nice to be known as the INDEPENDENT one and not the dependent one who can't handle her own. It really doesn't get you anywhere, because people WILL let you down and that's a guarantee. Be your own person. Don't submit to the needs, wants, expectations or standards that people set for you. Set your OWN personal standards HIGH enough for YOURSELF.

• I wish a lot of people knew that you REALLY DON'T need someone to give you happiness. Yes, lonely nights are going to be there once in a while, but there is nothing better then living your days stress free & just giving thanks for what God gives you. I don't know if many people have noticed, but when you're busy & you keep yourself occupied, when you're NOT waiting for anything or anyone and just living your life the way you want to, that's when God gives you someone. And it's good for a while... until that chapter ends, and you're back to doing your own. You get a little taste of what good is coming towards you in the future. Every struggle/story/experience you have with someone is just a step closer to meeting the REAL love of your life. So cheesy, so true. Don't go looking for someone, you are WORTH THE WAIT.

• I need a job but I'm not stressing SO MUCH on it. "Theres a difference between making a living and designing a life." I have patience because I trust that God always provides. Yet I don't want to be entirely content with where I'm at. I should never be content, I always want to have that motivation for myself to push for more... I'm not going to stay in this spot forever, there is always room for progression. Formal education will make you a living. Self-education will make you a fortune.

• I love this weather. It adds on to my happiness.

• School is a breeze, and it shouldn't be. I like to challenge myself. I know I can do better when it comes to education. I'd like to be accepted into a good 4-year college once I graduate. It'd be nice. But if that doesn't happen, then I know for fact that God has bigger plans. Grades don't define intelligence.

• My friends & family may irritate me sometimes, but I need them. In order to keep our relationships with each other healthy, you may need space for a while. I'm good with that. Above all, I have their backs to the fullest. Once high school ends for everyone, people tend to go their seperate ways. Growth and maturity. It's an exciting yet scary thought; Adulthood. It's crazy how time flies. It's crazy to wrap my mind around the thought that we're all growing older. When I'm done with high school and out of the small box full of superficial cliques, I will finally be able to see who will truly be there for me through it all. I like the feeling of telling the world that I only roll with the best of the best...

• The people I surround myself with... some influence me for the better, and some for the worse. I am a life-long learner, forever a student in life. Don't join an easy crowd; you won't grow. Go where the expectations and demands to perform are high.

• Spring break. I remember a year ago, spring break was crackin'. Hope this week will be as well.

• Senior Ball. Eh, I have a year more to go. But I'm excited for Frankin's ball despite the fact that I don't have a date. I don't care much.

• Nowadays, I have really weird dreams. Honestly, I wish I had another dream about Steven rather then the dreams I have been having recently. They leave me waking up pissed off, and they are the most random dreams too. Eh.

• I am loving dance. I get really excited to go to dance practice 3 times a week, even though it ends really late and I go to school super tired. But I feel that 3 nights a week isn't even enough for me. I'm super excited for our big show in May. I hope to see everyone there! It's gonna be BIG.

• I miss the city, but I'm enjoying the suburbs. I don't plan to stay here, but I am making as many friends here as I can until it's time to leave.

• My youth group is the BEST. I love them, and I hope more of my friends will be able to join and experience the fun and growth along with me. There's always room for more.

• Class of 2009... I'm going to be sad when everyone leaves because it's fun having everyone around. But my senior year I'm planning to do it big, and become super involved with everything to occupy and entertain myself. I never want to have a boring moment because I know that once 18 hits, it's responsibility and I'm not quite ready for that just yet. I still like the comfort of my own home and coming home to my loud, active and fun family.

• Words of wisdom... Leave a Legacy. I know a grip of people that left a legacy behind before their passing. I miss them a lot, but they left with being an inspiration. That's what I want to do, to leave with being remembered just like what they did. Live a life that will help others spiritually, intellectually, physically, financially and relationally. Live a life that serves as an example of what an exceptional life can look like.

God is Love. Love never fails.

Springgg breakkk whassup?
This weekend was mad tiring. I fell asleep so many random times during the day... ahahha. Today was another chill day, went to Andre's open mic session @ Village Caffe off Watt, that was dope, headed to franklin to chill & watch the boys play basketball.. then debut practice. Nothing much today but relaxation.

Learning not to care as much, even tho it'll always be in the very back of my mind.

Sooner or later

April fools!

SPRING BREAK, WHATS REALLY GOODDDD
Two more days until the weekend.

Today cheered me up a little, needless to say last night I felt the worst ever... I woke up from a nap and hella just started thinking about EVERYTHING AND I MEAN EVERYTHING :/ Blah.. I hate when I THINK TOO MUCH. Today definitely made up for it though; sold some stuff at Crossroads with Cindy, got good deals & only ended up spending 15 on it.

Thennnn.. figured out stuff for senior ball, I guess. I mean I'm excited and all just to dance but the whole going dateless thing just isn't workin' for me.. especially since I don't even go to that school. At the same time, I don't really want a date either lol. And it's not even my senior year!! Hahaha so it's no biggie. Oh well though, I'm really not even trippin' much, it'd just be nice to rewind about a month back to that cutesy feeling, BLAH there I go again..

I'D HATE TO BECOME MY WORST NIGHTMARE: A WEAK, OVERLY EMOTIONAL GIRL. Because real, I'm a strong person... and my GUARDS ARE UP! But eh.. Just another time-wastin' broad. NEXT!

OH, HAPPY APRIL FOOLS TO CINDY. She got punked, in a cute way. "SENIOR BALL? APRIL FOOLS!" Hellla hurt, but funny lol and you already know that if they woulda done the deed on me I would've fell for that hella bad... HAHAH.

Dance @ 10 tonight, but I'm tired ;/ Nap time. PEACE.

In short words,

Today marks six months, and I'm still missing you.

RIP Steven Andrew Matherly

Why does he have to freaking smile that sexy smile of his to everyone?

-___-

Why do cute people always have to KNOW they're cute? Why can't you just be oblivious to the fact that everyone wants you....

Lmfao.

I lied.. the last longboard picture I posted was ALRITE compared to this ish... HELLA SEX :( I'm inspired... aghhh, i'm about to pimp out my board..

alright week. spring break is already around the corner... going on hella trips & I already know i'm about to be hella busy. oh btw, SCREW players.

2 can play the game.

off to sunday basketball @ franklin now. PCE

Hoodie Girl Blasting Beats

What's goooood, it's friday! Nothing big planned this weekend, I'm back to dance for sure & it's good. I'm loving the feelin'. Nothing really much to say... oh besides this rant, yesterdays feeling, old news but still notable..

I’m real late on this, because it happened a while ago. It just came up to my head again & I’d like to make it clear on where I stand.

I really don’t need anyone, I’ve been through too much and I don’t need anyone’s reassurance.

Question is, why do I still try when you’re already doing your own thing? It’s not that I fell, because I sure didn’t. I just thought the chemistry was real; like I said, I’ve mistaken the friendliness for something else, but I wasn’t the only one who saw it. I think everyone saw what was right in front of them. It was pretty obvious, we had the potential for more than just your average two close friends. It’s cool though, I’m not sad or anything, I’m just fed up with people who waste my time.

I was led on to think that there was at least just a little something between us, and maybe there was…but right when we were at the peak of becoming something good, you bailed, and you did it without explanation. In all honesty, you weren’t down for me, and I deserve way more than what you just simply threw at me. I’d like to go off, but I tend to stop myself from showing my full potential on how pissed I am that this has happened once again. I guess I wasn’t really trippin, but now that I think about it, after talking to my mom a little about this time-wasting situation… she has reassured me that it wasn’t right how I was mislead to think that something was going to happen & didn’t. I don’t claim to have my guards up for nothing. I need to check myself. I don’t know why I’m so late on this, I don’t know why I’m even wasting a single thought on this broad… but it’s there, maybe it’s a sign.

Instead of just letting it go and acting as if nothing ever happened, I’m going to show all those tricks out there not to ever mess with me. Don’t underestimate me, you don’t know what I’ve been through to get here.

Thank you & good night.

ekarjfioawjadqwefawaw. ahhh, what a rant. I FEEL BETTER

Shex.

Shex. The design on that board is HELLA ILLIE! Vinyl designs, wsup though? I'm pretty stoked about my board.

I'm still a walking bruise. Still sore, but it's going away a little I guess.... tomorrow! Back to dance. Excitedexcited. Life is good. I don't need anyone to make me happy. If someone comes along to share the wealth, then it's good... but for now, WORTH THE WAIT. Peace out.

Shake it like Jello

Anotherrr chill weekend, my life is full of em.

Friday - mini day so decided to kick it with Ernie & Cindy at Boba Tea House, then visit our Valley kids! Headed out to Valley to see wsup, ended up chillin' there for a while... had youth group @ my house for the night since it was my bday Saturday, brought Cindy & ended up havin' a good time. Everyone stayed until around 2am and I got caked twice in the face... blaaah! Woke up about 5am to get ready for our snow trip, Cindy slept over... had a road trip to "Escolan" or wherever that is, met up with Nick, Ernie, Uncle & Meagan.

GOT TO DODGE RIDGE ON SATURDAY MORNING! Excitement :) Around 10am.. hit the slopes! Lemme tell ya, I SUUUCK at snowboarding... last time I went boarding I was way better then; this time around it was NOT CRAAACKIN! I think I kept getting scared everytime I started to speed up.. lol. Whatever tho I had fun, and Nick basically kept me company my last 2 runs. He has hella patience, I took HELLLA long getting down that ONE SLOPE! Hahah. But I was TIRED AS ASKLDFJALSKA, had a hard time getting myself up to walk up the hills... akldjfa. Hella worth it tho, I'm ready to go on another trip or WAKEBOARDING in the summer :)

After the adventure, ate dinner at a buffet, headed to Nick's, lightweight gone... but I'll end it there. Right about now, I'M SORE AND I NEED A WHEELCHAIR. I'm pretty much paralyzed... help!

Had a little drama Saturday night, but I'm not tripppin because I'm sure it won't break us... and if it does, then I guess it wasn't that solid at all; straight up, watch what you say & be careful what you wish for, because I've been through it all and I know what's good when it comes to feelin' alone. We'll see how strong we really claim to be.

Finally standing! Lmao

Nick nassssst.


Shweet.

Happy bday to me.

Strange things my imagination might do

I thought I saw you yesterday
But I didn't stop, 'cause you was walkin' the opposite way
I guess I could've shouted out your name
But even if it was you, I don't know what I would say
We could sit and reminisce about the old school
Maybe share a cigarette, because we both fools
Chop it up and compare perspectives
Life, love, stress and set-backs, yes
So you could tell me how hard you had it
And you could show me all the scars to back it
And we could analyze each complaint
Break it down and explain these mistakes I make
I like to tangle up the strings of the puppetry
But you knew me back when I was a younger me
You seen Sean in all types of light
And I've been meanin' to ask you if I'm doin' alright

Yesterday
Was that you? Looked just like you
Strange thangs my imagination might do
Take a breath, reflect on what we been through
Or am I just goin' crazy 'cause I miss you?

I'm shook, I know, I pushed when I should've pulled
Took it all back if I could, I put that on my soul
And I would make a top-notch good listener
If you could block-off a little time out to give it here
Since we went our separate paths
I've hit a couple snags that remind me of the past
I can't front, I'm havin' a blast
But damned if I ain't afraid of how long it's gonna last
Sittin' here wishin' we could kick it
Give me your opinions, I do miss the criticisms
I didn't mean to be distant, make a visit
I'll wait up and keep the coffee brewin' in the kitchen
But who am I jokin' with?
There's no way that you and I will ever get to re-open it
It doesn't matter, this is more than love
And maybe if I'm lucky, get to see you out the corner of

Yesterday
Was that you? Looked just like you
Strange thangs my imagination might do
Take a breath, reflect on what we been through
Or am I just goin' crazy 'cause I miss you?

And when you left, I didn't see it comin'
I guess I slept, it ain't like you was runnin'
You crept out the front door slow
And I was so self-absorbed I didn't even know
And by the time I looked up it was booked up
Put it all behind you, the bad and the good stuff
A whole house full of dreams and steps
I think you'd be impressed with the pieces I kept
You disappeared but the history is still here
It's why I try not to cry over spilt beer
I can't even get mad that you're gone
Leavin' me was probably the best thing you ever taught me
I'm sorry, it's official
I was a fist-full, I didn't keep it simple
Chip on the shoulder, anger in my veins
Had so much hatred, now it brings me shame
Never thought about the world without you
And I promise that I'll never say another bad word about you
I thought I saw you yesterday
But I knew it wasn't you, 'cause you passed away

The Ultimate Combo

Where is Steven Matherly when all else fails?

I don't mean to sound all emo, but he'd usually be up at this hour, and I'm expecting an IM from him. Really though, he was the the guy always down for me. It’s hard to find cause lately so many people just don’t have that realness in them the way he did. I miss you more and more each day, it still hurts... RIP <3


Today was filled with sunshine - bright sunny days, a good day to take a walk. After study hall at school around 4, I didn't know what to do, who to hit up, so I scrolled down the numbers in my phone book... happened to stumble across Steven Matherly's name, and FOR A SPLIT SECOND, I was really about to call him subconsciously, as if he was still here to kick it with me. I ended up just taking a walk by myself to buy some Thai Tea boba; our absolute FAVORITE and the same drink he bought me the last time I saw him physically. I miss his smile, and his laugh... I used to be able to call his number up WHENEVER WHEREVER because he was just that great of a friend to me... do you know how freaking rare it is to find an awesome friend like that? Because I can literally count on ONE HAND how many friends I have that are down for me like how he was. He's rare; hard to find. And I miss him.

I don't know if anyone knows what it's like to lose someone, especially someone you wish you had a second chance with; a second chance to patch things up with because you've hurt this person before. Yeah, life goes on, but at the same time, when you lose someone you somewhat mistreated, you realize how selfish you may be, and it's not until that this person is gone that you look in the mirror and see who your true self is: selfish & for a moment, it may even seem like you're heartless.

The weather is bringing me back to my Valley High School days, and despite the fact that I really didn't like attending the school, I still love the people there, SO MUCH. And you can definitely say that Steven is the cause and reason behind it all. I can't believe it's already been a year since I've met the guy, I remember everything to the very last hair... it was at CRC and we all walked from school, we were chillin' with the usual friends and it was a nice, sunny day. His outfit: black tee, levi's, white vans authentics, SF hat, and boy, was he a CUTIE from the start. I remember because it felt like yesterday... Mark DeMille always tryna make fun of me though. His game, oh man.. indescribable how he gamed on me, and about every other girl I know, but man I got it bad for him from day 1. Not only that, but he had the greatest character, from his interests and love for cars, skateboarding, work, girls, SCHOOL, and being disciplined. He humbled me, in fact... and to this day, if I never would've met him, I don't think I would've became the person I am now. If you knew him, and read the blog (sbeezy.blogspot.com) then you ALREADY know wsup. He's my inspiration to achieve - and that's real.

Hmmph... just missing my close friend... more than anything. I'm guessing that you can say that it's all just a grieving process. But I feel as if this process is not even progressing, it goes by SLOWER and just moves BACKWARDS, like I'm not even getting any better at all... maybe it's all natural for everyone, but being as "emotional" as I truly am, I cannot seem to get over it. For me, this is hell. I hate missing someone this much, I go crazy. It has to do with trust; trusting myself, and trusting God first & foremost, that this guy is in a better place... but I'm still not at ease, and although I never ever show my true feelings about how much I miss Steven, I don't think I will ever truly accept the fact that he's gone. Because it's almost been 6 months that he's been absent from this earth & I still feel as if Steven is still here... Missing you, buddy.. loving you eternally.

"We don't look at the troubles we can see right now, rather, we look forward to what we have not yet seen. The troubles we see will soon be over, but the joys to come will last forever..."
- 2 Corinthians 4:18

Don’t identify yourself with only your appearance. Be at least as interested in what goes on inside of you as what goes on outside. Have internal things to offer the world like ideas, knowledge and personality…looks will fade. F-- America’s idealism and gender roles. Do what you like; don’t do anything that isn’t you. Don’t limit yourself by social constraints. Have the courage to live your BEST life possible.

Not just tonight, but the rest of your life

Definitely 7 minutes worth the watch.

Soooo, this week has been filled with sunshine, and I love taking advantage of it. Had a chill weekend, I spend time with Cindy Lou Who like every day of my life. I love the girls though! I helllllla hella missed hanging out with girls for once, since me & Cindy are pretty much hanging out with guys all the time. No lie, it's HELLA fun with guys cause we can be more of ourselves, but once in a while we just need a day to talkkkk and vent our lives out to our main girls... we missed you, Traci & Jayne! Pictures later, but for now, this is our love:

Next week will be even more chill:
- Monday: Regular late start
- Tuesday/Wednesday: Reverse minimum days... SLEEP IN & maybe breakfast?
- Thursday/Friday: Regular minimum days... Can I kick it? J street again to buy the stuff we wanted? Me & Cindy are competitive shoppers. She knows wsup, I actually hide the stuff I want to buy later just so no one else will.
- Saturday: BZURFDAY, either snow or sf, still tryna figure out my plans.
- Sunday: Chill... basketball with Intersection at Franklin? Routinely Sunday thing. It's comin' back, cause were drama free :) I really did miss my youth group though... Summer is near!

Just enjoying my life.

Future items... still workin' on it though. Birthday maybe? :)
I'M EXCITED TO LONGBOARD.

Oh... and my dream baby. I might change it later, but I'm diggin' this for now:

Why am I so shy?

You wrote a ballad
We dined on oysters and champagne
That's it seemed like
We connect in so many ways
So easy, I must say

Why am I so shy around you?
Why am I so shy?
Why do I take care to astound you?
Why do I even try?

Hella emo, but freakin' TRUE about me hahaha. When it comes to someone I really like, I become this way -.-

SO TIRED. Eff an art class, why do I really have the most homework in this class but it's not even NECESSARY? Goodnight. Blog later. I have loads on my mind, oh and online shopping birthday wish lists. Hahaha.

Walkin' down J Street

So, my weekend has been pretty freaking good. The sun was shining, everyone was in a good mood, and most of all.. I caught up with some old friends. One person, in particular, I haven't talked to in about 6 months now. I never thought we'd actually talk ever again, but God works his miracles... and needless to say, I'm incredibly happy with my life right now. I'm not tryna jinx it or anything, but I can say for sure that I'm enjoying this moment. "I can't front, I'm havin' a blast, but damned if I ain't afraid of how long it's gonna last." Real talk though, today was pretty refreshing. It brought it back to the summer days of 2008.

Yesterday was a good family day. Spent saturday afternoon in Downtown with my dad & Sammie, walking around the mall and J Street. My dad actually bought me a Roxy bag, hella picked it out & just randomly bought it for me, hahah he actually loves me! Lol. It was nice though. After westfield, decided to park at J St. and walk around. Visited Havoc, US., UpperPlayground, Thunderhorse vintage (my favorite), etc. Nice day. Later that night, chilled with Cindy, Alex, and Gabester at Crazy Sushi and my house. Had a nice loooong conversation with Alex & Cindy until about 2am in my living room just talking about the most random things. Alex is hella funny though, he talks us to sleep but it's all gooood! Hahah. I love random nights. I haven't had one of those good conversations in a while.

Mmm. Boo for going back to school :/ Maricel's cotillion practices are starting tomorrow though. I'm about to play my debut soon too, I need ideas. Overall this weekend was hella chill. Pictures!

Gunther's Ice Cream, our all time favorite old school ice cream shop in Sac.

UnitedState. One of my other favorite stores in Sac.

Vintage bags, shoes, and clothes. Fashion Heaven.

Bloood line <3Walked all the way to UpperPlayground just to find out that they're closed for lunch. -.-
Came back helllla days later though.

My dad drove around just to show me this mural. Pretty dope.

I'm HELLLLLA tired. Good day of longboarding, watching basketball, and shooting my own hoops up at Franklin. I might just knock out soon, even though it's only 9.
Peace out.

You have a vivid imagination and this is good. Great inventors, explorers all had inventive, imaginative minds. Your friends and acquaintances may consider you over-imaginative and given to fantasy or day-dreaming. So what? this is a part of your character and charm.

Always anxious to accept the role of the leader, as indeed you often work well with people - but try to stay out of the limelight. You'd like a life of ease with no one to rock the boat and someone who understands you is so important in your life.

Everyone has to compromise at times and circumstances are such that at this time you are feeling the need to do just that. Put all of your hopes on the back burner and let matters flow for a time - forgo some of the things you want. The good times are just around the corner.

You are holding back. You need to find friends in whom you can trust and once they have proved themselves beyond all possible doubt you will be prepared to give them your all. The existing situation is not of your liking - you have an unsatisfied need for mental stimulation with others whose standards are as high as your own. Trying to control your instincts the way you do restricts your ability to open up to others and the way you feel at this time is suggestive of 'total surrender'. This is not to your liking as you consider such thoughts as weaknesses that need to be overcome. You feel that only by control, controlling your innermost thoughts, are you able to maintain your air of superiority. You want to be admired for yourself alone and not for what you can do or for what you may have done. In essence 'you need to be needed' and at the same time 'you need to need'.

You feel that you need to move on. You feel that you are not appreciated or valued for what you are and that the time is 'now'. Failure to do so will not afford you the conditions to prove your worth.

Truuuuuuue that. Off to the mall now, bye.

Blast from the Past

I'm loving these random, chill nights. I told you I kick it with the most random people in Elk Grove. If you want something to happen, make it happen. There are way too many people out there who claim they wanna stay close and kick it but never do anything about it.

Branden Buentipo - quite the character. I've known him for so long and we've managed to stay close, but we barely even see each other! Until now :) Random text from him asking to kick it, and finally, a night that I was free and decided to meet up with him. We had a good talk, caught up with each other's lives, all that good stuff. Can't believe that I used to talk to this fool like my 8th grade year and this is us, three/four years later! Hahaha, hella cute. Cindy was free later on too, so we just chilled & Strikes for bowling! Damn, I suck at bowling for sure, Cindy is bossss at everything she does, I hate her. Hahah jk, but I haven't kicked it with her or "CC/LBM" in a chill ass minute, I really miss them. I'm really missing the SFL too, but I understand what's going on, and I respect that everyone needs space once in a while.

Oh, I'm getting my board soon... but I'm definitely not telling you where from. You never would've guessed. It's a surprise, it'll be dope! So apparently everyone had a "hella chill" day ditching. Whatever lol, I was busy stayin' on top of my GAME at school. I have to admit, accomplishment is gooood :) I got all my homework done before the weekend even started. To me, that's an achievement. Haha.

Hmm... free weekend, I was hella down to go to the city tomorrow for the Urban Paradise show, but it doesn't look like it's gonna happen. It's all good, I'm down for whatever.

Goodnight Elk Grove.

Life goes on

Life Goes On - Pigeon John featuring Abstract Rude

No matter if your life is tattered and you cant fix what went wrong, life goes on
No matter if your life is battered, your a hook in your own theme song, life goes on
You're a fighter but the grip is tighter and you know that you cant stand long, life goes on
But its gonna get brighter, life goes on

Dumb broads just irritate me sometimes. Sad to say that only my fam know my true bad self, only because I don't feel like showing the whole freaking world how much mess I talk, not a good habit, but it's truth sometimes.

If you can't handle me, then peace out!

*My bad for the mood swings. But I'm irritated as hell. Need to dip outta the Grove for a minute. I'm hoping SF this weekend, 'cause I really don't care anymore.

My life on the daily

Basically, what's on my mind most of the time nowadays is where I'm gonna be at in the future. There are infinite options for me, there are no limits :) I'm really excited. I know things are going to change, some for better or worse, and I'll definitely find out who my real people are, yet I think I already have a clue who's gonna be there for me outside of just the basic routine school and "kick it" days. One more year, college, life after that...what a journey.

PRIORITIES & GOALS

- GOD: I let him down one too many times, and I can't keep banking on grace... I feel like I really need to step it up, because He's given me more than what I deserve.
- SCHOOL: GRADES NEED TO BE UP THERE, AND I WANNA ACCOMPLISH A LOT BY SENIOR YEAR. I love the feeling of success. Slackin' on the job is NOT wsup anymore.
- FAMILY: Issues, getting them solved. They're who I'm stuck with for life, so I gotta keep that relationship with them. Love them regardless.
- GIRLS: Because they're the ones who are always down. Yeah I don't get to see all of them as much as I'd like, but distance surely doesn't seperate us. Cheesy, but whatever... I love them.
- DEBUT: It's gonna be big. I'm planning early so that I won't be swamped by all the minor details. It definitely won't be as big as my wedding, but it'll be up there. Seisa's know how to party.
- DANCE: Press PLAY, the 2nd family, it's been about 2 years since my audition and still going strong! 6 month break but it ain't nothin', I'll be back for sure.
- KICK ITS: I roll with the most random people in Elk Grove, bringin' together the people you never would've even thought existed in this town. And I'm hella thankful that they're there just for me to forget about all my miseries, hahha.
- MISC: Whoever seems to cross my path.. WORTHTHEWAIT. Pretty much decided that i'm not going to settle for anything less than what I deserve, or anything unworthy of MY precious time...
- JOB: This is one of my top notch. I need the $crill to get ANY of the things I want to achieve. Cash from parents ain't cuttin' it anymore.

Trying to cut back from telling myself and others that “it’s whatever” when truth is, that it’s NOT just whatever… and I really do care. Stop the fronts, I can see right through you.

Oh snappp, this is about to be my baby sister though! Give her a few years :)

Hopefully this snowboarding trip for my birthday pulls through, cause I’m getting super excited!

PS. I really don't know why I have two blogs though.

18 days: 032109

I'm thinking the good ol' yearly trip to the snow and go boarding! Or maybe a nice drive down to SF and shopping. Haven't been to Haight Street in a few months. We'll see wsup down there... maybe?

I miss Steven Andrew Matherly...
it's been said a million times, and I'll say it a million times more.

RELAX

Current mood: Slightly pissed with a bit of irritation. 90% chance of me throwing a book at someone.

I cannot wait until this term is over. That is when I'm officially back to Press Play. But asdlkfjaal, why is that hella long to me?! Pure torture. I'm gonna get rusty, I already know it.
