My Resolutions For The New Year

For the past two years I have always placed in my planner my resolutions for the New Year. But this time, I want to try something new. So, here are my resolutions for 2007. Let’s cross our fingers that I follow through with it.

1) WATCH MORE CARTOONS

Over the past week, I have been watching A WHOLE LOT of cartoons and I’ve come to realize that the greatest lessons you learn come from them. One of them was what Strawberry Shortcake and Friends were belting in a song, “All the good and bad of life, We Must Accept”. Ain’t that smart?

2) JOIN MORE CHARITIES
-It’s always been said that giving is better than receiving. I think I learned that this season and also, it’s always been a dream of mine. And I’m not saying this just so I could appear to be more angelic, I’m saying this because I mean it. People of my generation care so much about their weight, their clothes and their meaningless love lives that they actually forget that for most people a boyfriend is the last thing that they could think of. Food and shelter is the top priority and maybe, I can help in one way or another.

3) Don’t Go Beyond My Cellphone Credit Line
-If, at the very least, due to the fact that I’m already in so much trouble with my parents.

4) Buy More Shoes, Less Flops
-Ermm, maybe this contradicts my number two resolution but since I am saving anyway, why not spend it on things that would last? I’m just being economical

5) Stop Saying “OMG” even if it’s through SMS only
 -Well, sometimes text messaging can be so tedious, so saying OMG is a good shortcut. But I don’t think it sounds too good, it’s more annoying I think.

6) Hug A Friend Everyday
– It releases the stress in more ways than one.

7) Don’t Easily Trust People
-No matter how trusting they look. No matter how nice they are. People always have something dark lurking beneath them. I trust so much in the fact that there’s a good side to everyone that I forget about the evil in most people.

8) Blog More Often
– I used to blog everyday, but that was also during the time that I didn’t have anything else to do. Now, I am so swamped with work that I tend to neglect my blog. Sorry bloggie, don’t worry next year is a new year for more entries.

9) Blog More Often
– I am going to be a college graduate soon so that means that I have to learn how to spend my money wisely. Soon enough, I cannot beg my parents to buy the new Bo Sanchez book.

10) Learn Spanish
-I’ve been putting off for a year. Again: BUSY. I should learn, how else would Erik Morales know that I AM IN LOVE WITH HIM AND THAT WE’RE MEANT TO BE IN THE NEXT LIFE?? I am saying next life because I don’t want to be wife number three.

11) Forgive AND Forget
– Damn! I’ve been through SO MUCH this year that it’s so easy to be bitter and mad at people who did me wrong, but what good what that be? Have you listened to JoJo’s song, “The High Road”? That speaks so much about how I feel towards aheemmm.. “those people”

12) Let Go
-Self explanatory

13) Start Liking Tall Guys
– Have you seen my cute guy list? I think most of them are short. I think that would be a problem since I don’t fall off my heels anymore. Ha!

14) Like REAL Guys
-As in, guys who go to school, who live and breathe your own air and stop pining for McDreamy.

15) Smile
– Even if I am so pissed, I am smiling…… *grits teeth*

16) STOP! Eating Unhealthy Food
– *SIGHS* but they’re just SO good…

17) SHUT UP
– I am still opinionated but I think TOO MUCH TALK gives people the right to judge you, so zip!

18) Read All of Paulo Coelho’s Books
– I love him, don’t you?

19) Read The Bible
 -I’ve finished the entire New Testament… I’m getting to the old testament very soon.

20) Email Karla Everday
-My best friend deserves really LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONGGG emails about my very exciting life. *sarcastic tone*

21) Go out with My Chika, My Soeur and Tita Rose AT LEAST once a month
 – We need more than text messages to keep in touch!

22) STOP EXPECTING
-Period

23) LET HIM GO
-And you nosy people, “HE’S” not from school, so stop spreading nasty things. I never HAD a boyfriend so SHUSH! (ESPECIALLY HIM…EWWW)

24) Watch ALL of Leonardo Di Caprio’s Movies
-He IS the man again!

25) Act Like An Adult
 -Which May Mean Enough Crying, especially in public! And this may also mean no more whining!

26) Drink Lesser Cups of Coffee A Day
-Carla, are you kidding me? What would you live on? FORGET THIS!

27) ENJOY LIFE
-I’ll start too! No More Crying. No more false friends. No more liking jerky guys. I am staying away from all the negative people and events and SO ON.

I hope all of you will have a GREAT NEW YEAR! Eat, Drink, Enjoy (not TOO much) and Be Merry! Happy New Year Everyone!

My Grown Up Christmas List

“No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time will heal all hearts
Every man would have a friend
And love will never end”
–My Grown Up Christmas List
(have you heard the bossa nova version? Love it)

1) MORE PEOPLE GETTING TO KNOW THE LORD

2) NO MORE HATE
– Not just in my life but in everyone’s lives as well.
3) END TO POVERTY
– In our country this also means having to put an end into the ever growing case of corruption. There are three million people starving and a larger number of kids being cheated of an education as well.

4) MORE CHARITIES AND MORE PEOPLE TO HELP
-My book drive didn’t push through because not a lot of people wanted to help. My soeur and I have a lot planned. We’re really praying for more people to help out.
5) LESS ARROGANT PEOPLE
– Find a copy of The Desiderata and take it to heart.
6) NO MORE EGOISTIC, SELF CENTERED GUYS WHO ARE SO FULL OF THEMSELVES
-Something has to be said about guys who think you’re so in love with them just because you say hi and the like. Whatever happened to good and smart guys who don’t assume?
7) NO MORE CLIQUES IF YOU’RE PAST TEN
-What’s up withthe popular and unpopular crowd even when you’re in college? The “she-can’t-be-your-friend-cause-I-hate-her-even-if-she-didn’t-do-anything-to-me”. GROW UP!
8) LABELS, CONFORMITY AND NAME-CALLING MUST BE DISBANDED FROM THE EARTH

9) BAN PEOPLE WHO USE THE INTERNET TO TRASH OTHER PEOPLE AND SPREAD NASTY UNTRUE THINGS ABOUT THEM
– I am not saying anything negative because that will go against what I said prior to this.
10) PACQUIAO-MORALES IV

11) FRUITCAKE, FRUITCAKE, FRUITCAKE!!!!!

12) A BLESSEDFUL YEAR 2007 WITH NO MORE REJECTION, TEARS AND HEARTACHES. JUST JOY AND HAPPY TEARS FOR MY FAMILY.

So much for being self actualized.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!

BE HAPPY, BE MERRY AND CONTINUE PRAYING:)

The Year That Was

I am sitting at a noisy restaurant and listening to cheesy music from the 90’s as I write this. The papers are splattered with news about Britney Spears and PrinceWilliam, gone were the days that Britney was not some joke and Prince William was single (yeouchhhhhh!)

Times have changed and we are about to usher in a New Year in less than two weeks and I for one is more than happy to start over. I’m happy because the year that was wasn’t really all that nice to me. There have been so many rejections, tears and heartaches that I’m ready to leave behind. I’m not planning on leaving the lessons behind but the tears, yes. (I think i’m sounding like some cliche).

I’ve lost a lot of things this year and the reason on why I lost the things that I have lost, but I believe that God has a better plan and He allowed those things to happen for a reason. Getting all cliche-y again but it’s true. I’d rather not dwell on has beens and just learn to move on.

***
Two weeks ago, the Pastor at our church mentioned this:

“DON’T PAY REVENGE FOR REVENGE, THE LORD CAN DO A BETTER JOB”

If people judge me based on what other people say about me, then I don’t think that’s really my problem anymore.

***
Despite the bad things that has happened this year, I came to realize that importance of family and I’m blessed to have such wonderful people in my life. NO matter how many times we fight over whether Prison Break is better than 24, at the end of the day, we still have each other.

***
BEFORE THE YEAR ENDS YOU MUST:

*Listen to Mo, Mojo and Andi 9’s radio show, Mondays to Thursdays at 9 am!
-My parents are in love with it!
*Make a child smile this Christmas
-In any way possible
*Watch Step Up, The Good Shepeard, Material Girls and the Disney Marathon on the 24th and 25th
*Get on MYSPACE
– i NEED friends on it … haha:)
* STAY HAPPY:)

a few realizations for the new month

For the longest time, I have always pleased people, not in a horrific way though, I have not done anything damaging or addictive. My people pleaser persona has not made me lose touch of my values. There’s something in me that continually seeks to please people, but not up to the point that made me indulge in vices and the like.

I probably wasn’t aware that I needed to draw a line between miserably making people happy and making them happy because it makes me happy. I forgot who I am in order to please people who turned out to be not worth it in the end.

I just realized that it’s not entirely selfish to think of “me” every once in awhile. And that it’s okay to say no to people who are only taking you for granted or are only nice when they need something.
**
Rediscovering old friends is a difficult thing to do. It’s rare to find people who would accept you and the fact that you have changed.

I don’t think I’ve changed who I am entirely, just tweaks here and there, which I believed was because I just wanted to be a better person. I don’t blame those people though, everyone just grows up. I, myself feel that way towards old friends. It’s probably an element of surprise that a geek has turned into a hot stuff or a nice guy turning into a bully. Surprise, but not critical, everyone changes-way of life.

Accepting those realities of life is included in the rigid process of maturity. It’s not something that we would want to do, but it’s there.

**
It’s okay to sound stupid. It’s okay to be imperfect and it’s okay to be a klutz every now and then. Who cares if I say and do things that make me sound 12? It’s easier to find people who would accept this 12 year old than be “un” confident with who I am- a klutz, a geek and yes, still a kid who believes in fairy tales.

**
Friends plus Dating= DISASTER

If you’ve been friends for the longest time, I don’t think it’s such a great idea to date each other. Believe or not, the cliché is true, the one that says that friendship is more important than relationships.

Ayee!

Or maybe it just wasn’t really meant to be *sigh*

**
The perfect man doesn’t exist. I know that and it’s implanted in my brain waves, however, one realization is scarier. What about my perfect man? The one for me? Is he out there?

Guys think that I’m scary just because I’ve never been kissed and demand for the good things in life. Like not being cheated on or being tossed around like dirty laundry.

WOMEN should be treated better. Or better yet, PEOPLE SHOULD BE TREATED BETTER.

Is it wrong for me to say that?..

Hang on, I think I get the scary part. Heehee.

**
Calling people names and labels are for kids. But that’s not an excuse; no one has the right to call people nasty names. Also, it’s just wrong to judge people and perceive them as something that they’re not because they’re unsure of themselves.

Also, one must not continually bully people to feel good about them selves, who are you? Dee Dee? Angelica?

LIVE AND LET LIVE.
It’s as simple as that.

**
Finals in a week, so this might be my last entry for the next 2 weeks
Please pray for me.
ThanksJ
Enjoy the week and the Christmas Month! Aloha!

it is simple we just make it difficult.. meredith grey knew how to say it perfectley

“You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true..”

***
I’ve heard that it’s possible to grow up – I’ve just never met anyone who’s actually done it. Without parents to defy, we break the rules we make for ourselves. We throw tantrums when things don’t go our way, we whisper secrets with our best friends in the dark, we look for comfort where we can find it, and we hope – against all logic, against all experience. Like children, we never give up hope…”
****
Okay, here it is, your choice… it’s simple, her or me, and I’m sure she is really great. But Derek, I love you, in a really, really big pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake, hold a radio over my head outside your window, unfortunate way that makes me hate you, love you. So pick me, choose me, love me.

highschool life oh my highschool life

Over the weekend, I was given the chance to hang out with my highschool friends. Now I no longer see them as my batchmates, instead I see them as friends.. period

With the drama that has been my life (people just never stop huh?) its refreshing to have something to fall back on. I must admit, I haven’t kept in touch in as much as I would want to, but when I’m with them, it’s as if we all still go to the same school.

Being with them reminded me of the person I used to be and not the negative one, but the child full of hope.

It also awakened old crushes and old flames that were never resolved, but that isn’t really the point.

The point is, I was happy. For the first time in weeks, I was content and not worried at all. It was just like life before I stepped into the real world.

Imperfectley perfect or something along the same lines.

still infatuated *points down*

I have to be more serious with my spanish.. I cannot for the life of me understand what they’re saying about him. So much for my stalking days. Don’t you think he looks like a rockstar? 🙂

Blame this infatuation on the years of my grandmother’s watching of Telenovelas.. What’s the name of that guy from Thalia? This is probably his influence.

But he’s cuter *points up*

KARLA DID YOU GET MY RECENT EMAIL? THE STUPID YAHOO MAIL IS GOING BONKERS ON ME. I HAVE TO GET OF.. I WILL EMAIL YOU TOMORROW. LOVE AND MISS YOU:)

my world of make believe

When I was 7, I had this innate belief within me that was so strong that up to this very moment, I still I may have that childlike belief in me.

I believed that every person was nice and no one would even think of intentionally hurting anyone else. No one was intentionally mean enough to actually cause anyone harm, I realized that I was wrong on all counts.

When maybe not entirely, but I got some parts wrong.

I just realized that people are generally…

complex.

People may be so nice but then again everyone is mean when threatned as said by Morrie Schwartz, but then again in today’s day and age, the word, “threatened” may have a different connotation all together.

Thing with me is this: I LOVE being nice to peopel and get excited when people are nice back. There’s that surge of joy in me when I meet nice people and click with me in an instant. What I failed to realize is that underneath the bubby exterior, there must be something wrong.

I must be too trusting or too naive to understand the fact that people are just people and not superhumans as I dreamt of when I was younger. I also realized that no matter how nice you are to one person that doesn’t guarantee that they would be nice back, in fact I think and based on my experience that gives them the licensce to think nothing of you and to take you for granted.

People think that just because you’re nice and don’t budge when they say nasty things it gives them the right to just walk all over you. I may have fault in this, I may have not.

It’s confusing to just think of.
