Gratitude

R.I.P. Tita Amor and Kristopher Manansala
You both will be missed, thank you for being in my life and help us to remember how important it is to cherish each moment and be good to others.

Reality-that our physical form as human beings are only here on earth for a limited time and our soul is left to another higher form. Time is always passing, it's passing right now and you can never capture this time in a bottle and save it for later. So I'm asking you, to cherish the present moment. Breathe! Listen to that song that makes you feel amazing. Do what it is that you want to do! Easier said than done, but please-feel free, love your life, there's no day but this day, this moment right now.

Make whatever changes it may be to take the step to ultimate happiness, be grateful for every single moment and laughter you share with friends and family. I've experienced ultimate happiness and I am so happy that I have found it.


There are a lot of people in my prayers right now and I wish them all the blessings I can give, especially for:
Aco Lydia Lao
The Santo Domingo Family

Being "Single"

Excerpt Courtesy of: Choices and Relationships, 8th Edition. Written by David Knox and Caroline Schacht


As much as I complain about homework/tests/quizzes, I actually do learn A LOT from reading my required textbooks. And today, while reading chapter 6 of my Sociology textbook (Choices in Relationships), I came across the most amazing excerpt about being single! Word for word, this excerpt just hit every point and it made me think that I'm not alone and there are actually young women and older women who want to experience learning and growing up by themselves. I think it is the most mature and selfless thing a woman or man can do (especially at my age) when they can admit to themselves that, yes-I am perfectly fine without a significant other and life just keeps moving and there's no regrets/if/and or but's--it's just being and doing what it is you are meant to do and be.

In my own opinion, I think that sometimes, the media and old traditions get in the way of growing up. I say that because we get so brainwashed to marry at a certain age and to have kids at a certain age, but we forget to learn about who we are as an individual-that we get caught up and rush into a new relationship or rush into a new career (that we necessarily did not think all the way through) just to meet that brainwashed standard.

But at the end of the day- every single person is different, everyone has got their own standards and their own goals. Being in a relationships, or being single is their own personal choice and it's ultimately up to the person on whichever makes them happy. If you are in a great relationship, then that's amazing and if you're single, that's amazing too! =D


As one magazine said, "Move forward, not back. And know that it’s better to be out there looking than stuck on a couch with some guy you’re just going to wind up dumping anyway. He might be happy, but you deserve more."



abundance and peace to all!

What Does Las Vegas Have to Offer?

I only gambled $1.00! haha, obviously not a big gambler!


This was the FIRST time I've seen Flamingos in my life!

The view from one of the clubs was AMAZING!

My girls!
Happy 21st Jennifer!

After a weekend in Vegas with my two friends and her cousins/family & friends, I feel very...tired? LOL. No, it was an experience, seeing how one of my close friends interacts with her relatives and seeing how other people deal with situations and it was a lot of fun. Clubbing was amazing! Only in Vegas! The views were spectacular! I enjoyed it a lot, just imagine-dancing on top of the world! That's exactly how I felt! It was very, very nice.

Hope everyone had an awesome weekend as well!

Knowing is Only Half the Battle?

The Moon was Huge Earlier Last Night!

God is Watching Us!

At certain times of the day (usually at night) different types of popular self-improvement and life phrases pop into my mind. And what's funny is that I am barely repeating those phrases in my mind because they are making sense now.

One quote that struck me out of nowhere at 2:40am was..."Knowing is only half the battle." And I barely realized the significance of that short and sweet phrase. This phrase is undeniably true because you can know so much, be the smartest person in your class, BUT if you refuse to share/monetize what you know and what you have learned...then you're ultimately keeping your gift and talent to yourself and not sharing it with other people who need your help. Once you begin to realize what this universe is asking of you, then you too will know the meaning of life!

In my opinion, I think it's a serious deprivation when people (especially younger kids) have to hide their talents because it was never recognized or was thought of as something unimportant. I know that from experience! My parents and relatives hardly ever told me to pursue what I love to do! Nobody!

Nobody said to just live YOUR life, become the change you see in the world. Keep doing what you're good at or figure out what you're good at! Nobody ever told me that and here I am paying the consequences of having 2 more extra super senior years of college to go all because nobody ever told me to figure out what I love to do!

And it's all because someone told us otherwise. Don’t get me wrong, I am very grateful for my education and the experience that comes with learning; it’s just that sometimes society forces and influences us to become people we are not. So please-BE yourself and try and recognize YOUR talents because you were created uniquely to make a difference in this world.

I was, I am, I will BE...
