“I know this world is so cold & deceiving but I keep my head up like my nose...”
– Lil Wayne
It all makes me stronger... right?
Here I go again, text blogging about my experiences.
I apologize.
Anyways, one is fortunate to come to a good realization before a situation goes out of hand. I thank God that I have, and if you are in a similar situation (and I know you know what I’m talking about) you should be grateful too.
That’s all about that, for now.
Thanks for listening, I’m off to San Francisco.

And so begins the descent.
“We will now begin our descent to our destination, hang on in case of turbulance.”
As soon as I hit that runway, I’m not sure what I’ll do.
Maybe I was wrong.
Perhaps I should have seen this coming. Once again, someone showed me that everyone is a cookie-cut of everyone else, from the same batch, the same dough, in the same oven. Same story.
That’s all I need to say about that.
On a positive note, I’m heading to UC Berkeley today to see AJ Rafael!
I’m excited.
“When I was young and I’d get an A on a history test or whatever, I’d get this...”

Happy Valentine's Day.
I truly hope yours is going well and if you have a Valentine, lucky you. Keep him/her happy.
I’m gonna come clean -
Yes, I told everyone to care less if they had a Valentine or not today, and to focus on being thankful for friends and family.
However, I contradicted myself.
I’ve never felt more single than I have felt today.
Hmm so how can I say more without being emotional?

"Every ending's a new beginning."
— “The End” - Jason Reeves
I’m sitting in our front hallway looking at this 6-month old dog my mom brought home tonight.
Shaking.
Silent.
Still.
And I couldn’t help but wonder how it must feel to have everything taken away from you and to be forced to start life anew. How would it feel?
To be taken away from your family and those who you are accustomed to in an...
The Pursuit of Happiness.
“It was right then that I started thinking about Thomas Jefferson on the Declaration of Independence and the part about our right to life, liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. And I remember thinking, how did he know to put the ‘pursuit’ part in there? That maybe happiness is something that we can only pursue and maybe we can never actually have it. No matter what. How did he...
"I Miss the Smiley Faces in my Sidekick."
— “Outta my System” - Bow Wow
Okay, so I’ve been using the word “love” a lot lately, yet I think I’m developing philophobia (look it up).
I don’t mean to, and I’m not quite sure if I want to. Again.
Powerful word, love.
What is love? How do you know how to feel? Is it the right feeling to feel?
Example. If I were to put “I...

"It's love, not Santa Claus."
— 500 Days of Summer
I finally watched 500 Days of Summer the other day (I was kinda late), and I’ll be honest - I like it. It’s real & true, not like the other happily-ever-after crap that we’ve seen enough of. If you haven’t seen it yet, I recommend it.
So part of the Academic Decathlon competition was today… the essay/speech/interview part. It...
Pay it Forward.
It feels just as good, if not better, to do a good “something” for someone else. Create a chain reaction of these good deeds and you’ll be surprised how good you feel too. Try it.
In other news, the AcaDec competition is tomorrow, and I’m going to be honest: I’m nervous. I will be conquering my number one fear: public speaking. THAT’S always fun. On the...
"But things just get so crazy, livin' life gets...
— “Sunday Mornings” - Maroon 5
Ain’t it the truth.
There are many obstacles in our daily life, dealing with love, relationships, friendships, and careers, just to name a few. You deal with them everyday, and I surely do as well. Believe me.
I watch the men and women who run around the track, running over tall hurdles. It’s harder than you think. Occasionally, some...
"Here Comes the Sun" - The Beatles
Greetings, Tumblrrs.
It is a sunny day today; a perfect day to be spent outside with your friends, riding bikes, playing a sport, going for a walk, taking pictures, etc etc etc.
As for me, I’m inside, studying and working on my speech I need to give this weekend for Academic Decathlon. What is it about, you ask? Yeah. I was wondering that too. Don’t worry, I’m working on it and...

“Don’t worry about a thing, cause’ every little thing is gonna be alright.”
Hello again. Statistics show that 94% of you who see this post will not read it. Nah, I just made that up, but I can’t be too far off. I promised myself I would only blog if I had something important to say, but I just like talking. Oh, also: I apologize for the long blogs, I use Tumblr as a...
Life is Hard...
…But no one said it would be easy. I think that life may be compared to a long car ride; it would be no fun without bumps, losing a map, or having a dysfunctional GPS. Lately I’ve been having more of a “glass-half-full” mentality. This all may sound real generic, and that may be because it is. Whoever said ”live life to the fullest” (perhaps one of the most...
Huh. So this is Tumblr.
Hello? Can anyone hear me?
So I decided to make a blog for the first time in years since Xanga (because my Myspace blog does not actually count) because I have had much on my mind the past week or so and needed a place to vent. I am not going to rant on too long about my reasons why I joined, though; I have other things to do. I’ll keep this updated as much as my life will allow me. Thank...
