...

okay okay... i'm going to finally turn in for the night :) I must admit, i love finding random cute-ish images like this online. I guess somewhere beneath my cynical self is a hopeless romantic (or something like it :p)...eeh, comes with the territory - being a girl and all.. haha!

u know you're addicted to the internet when...

...your eyes are barely open and yet you're surfing random websites for the heck of it. Since my last post i've downloaded 2 music albums and a random lovesong mixtape, surfed about 10 other blogs, checked my emails, paid some bills... and yea, i'm still half-awake and surfing...simply because i didn't get a chance to all day... haha!

and how did Your wednesday go?!

As much as i feel super-accomplished today, i'm super-fatigued at the moment. My goodness! My body's so confused at the fact that i'm trying to switch to being a morning person (i.e. sleeping and waking up at normal hours) 'cause i typically don't reaaallly start my days 'til about noon/1pm/2pm... i know,i know.. sad...but then i don't sleep 'til about 5/6am usually... but i'm trying to change that!I realized that by the time i'm trying to get ish done most days, other people are finishing up their days. Not good! Aaah well, my point is that I'm getting "better" .. let's see how long it lasts :)

On a lighter note, i'm taking my spring break this weekend. Lol.. nevermind the fact that the official spring break was last week... but eh, i was here working on my research..kinda! I get to hang with my peoples this weekend (damn, i've been needing that for a while!) and it should be fun...plus there's a wedding in the mix - One Soldier Down! lmao

aah, speaking of weddings.. sheesh! I'm surrounded by engagements, weddings and babies! The scary part is that it's actually my friends taking the leap now....people i know!!! Does that mean i'm growing up???... noooooo! hehe... *get a grip T!* but truly, i'm excited for everyone and i wish them lots and lots of happiness and God's blessings as they get they're grown-up on.

Ok, i'm too sleepy/tired to make any more sense so i'll sign out now...

xoxo ;)

It's too early for....

saw this and it made me smile. haha! i would sooo do that - sadly!

arggh...the coffee's not working! I've tried, i really have tried, to be a morning person. But i'm not! I actually have been somewhat productive today and it's just 10am. I've already been to the car shop - got an oil change & safety check on my car. Yaay! I've had breakfast, made phonecalls.. done about 2hrs of schoolwork...and now i'm ready to sleep - hahaha!

okay okay, fine... i'll get back to work. Sheeesh!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Monday...again!

I remember times I ambitiously tried to "catch" the raindrops in my hands when i was younger. It's still fun reaching my hands out the window when it's raining, there's something glorious about the feeling u get then. Lol! don't mind me...i'm in reminiscent mode. One of my funnest memories from my past was going out to sing and dance and play in the rain with my sisters. I feel like i need to do that again... soon!
sometimes i say too much... other times i say too little! Trying to learn the right balance to things... Life!... Go figure!


...most times~!

if it don't kill ya...it'll only make you stronger!

just saw this and it made me smile :)... tres cute!

happy pi day!

Zzzzz...

watching Family Man when i know perfectly well that i should be sleeping. I love the movie though... very simple plot but it does make you think :)

hopefully i'll sleep off while watching the movie...

goodnight!

actually, more accurately... i think i'm just generally pissed off... at myself! Go figure!

faith...

This morning, i was thinking about how i'm so lucky to have my faith. Actually, it started with me thinking about how screwed up my research is going (but that's why it's called Re-search isn't it?) and how frustrated I've been all semester...and basically nagging to myself (and almost anyone that'd listen). And somehow, when i'm in the lowest of low moments, i hear a voice in my head say : "Be still, and know that I am God!"... and when I think through those words, I feel myself begin to calm down a bit.

Faith - it's weird but it gets you through. It's like when little kids have nightmares and then go tell their folks that "there's a monster in my closet" and then the mother/father goes to "get rid of the monster"...and suddenly everything's okay again in that kid's world - just 'cause they believe their folks have the power to actually rid of their fears (so to speak).... that's the sorta faith that gets me through - the childlike faith that God can (and will) take care of everything concerning me.

I don't know how people make it through life otherwise. My faith brings me comfort. Even with all my imperfections (and wow, there's a long Long list of those) I know I can pray through situations and He'll hear me. I guess what i'm trying to say is that i'm encouraged by my faith to live each day....and I pray that if you haven't already, you'll have a little faith and Be encouraged!

Have a happy sunday :))

1-D...

As a child, i had dreams of becoming a great dancer someday! I discovered soon enough that I'd probably end up being a doctor/lawyer/engineer/banker...something that brings the paper home. Africans don't play that ish!

I guess I could enroll in dance classes for the summer... I don't know about being "great" but it'd be fun to take Contemporary + Salsa dance classes... o...k!

i'm the fakest bass guitar player EVER! I wish i had a real teacher (instead of the silly instructional video i have) ... i really must learn to play something before the end of summer. Ahem!

Took this picture on my way back to SC a while back. I'm sooo due another out-of-town trip! I'm 'bout to lose it!

lol...i'm not wearing a onesie! I just love over-stretching my tracky-buttoms :)

I wish i had my own lil' puppy....but I probably don't have enough time to take care of one just yet :(
Hold me?

Quotes of the week-end

"Your life is an occasion. Rise to it!"
- Mr Magorium's Magic Emporium

i think...

adulthood is overrated!

...and so it begins

The transformation - mind, body and spirit. Yuup! It's very necessary to be healthy in all three areas... i forget that sometimes.

This week I've decided to get my ish together. I've started eating (relatively) healthy again, I'm exercising, putting proper work schedules together (and trying to follow through) and getting back on track with my Jesus!

It's March! Yaaaay....?!

I'm grateful for yet another month, but it feels like 2009 is moving way too fast. Geez!

This weekend - hmm! I was sposed to get a lot of work done, go to the movies with a friend and a whole bunch of other stuff... but i ended up staying home watching TV and random movies on hulu.com . I've had some "odd" back+neck pain all weekend...i say odd 'cause it came outta nowhere and it's made me useless to society for the most part. But today, i decided i'll crush it! Went off to CVS and got the following: heating pads for neck + lower back, motrin ibruprofen, and Bengay... and i'm using ALL of them :)) i'll be damned if i sit/sleep/chill in pain any longer than i have to!

Fun music for the day:

Seal - I've Been Loving You Too Long

I saw the Alvin Ailey dance group perform to this song last weekend; it was rather lovely! Although Seal does the song justice, I still think i prefer the original version by Otis Redding. Mmm mmm good!

have a great month of march!

xoxo ;)
