hello 80 degree weather!!

and good bye triple digits.  Its been awhile..Fall is soon coming around and i can't wait.  School is back in session. I was excited than i realized being the second week into my courses that i actually have to get back into study mode again, and not come home and stare at my books.   This summer was really a blur, with so many things happening that I found myself trying to forget everything. Just so i can keep thinking about the future.  Forgot, that i should live in the moment.  Slowly, but surely I am getting "better" sort of speak. 

So i have finally gotten my jewelry holder that I designed, but since my dad being the all around father. Who, had the tools to make this , couldn't help but make it for me. Which i didn't mind at all since, i would probably injured myself. I designed and he provided the scraps of raw materials. Hey, he even went as far as getting me a stainless steel thing for it. I'm fortunate for him , and all he does.

This is the finish product.

YES,I Love it!

Im still in the middle of organizing my earrings,bracelets and such..

This is pretty easy to make, you can use chicken fence for the center part.

Comment, if you want the exact "how to " guide. But I can assure i didn't assemble the one up there.  I told my dad what i want , and this is what he made me. It was the exact thing I imagined. But of course it turned way better than I asked for.

So, hmm,  Life is full of shortcomings. You really can't be prepared to what tomorrow will bring. Honestly, so what? If you are true to your self and the big man upstairs.  Treat people with respect, live life honestly.  Also, live it being happy and sharing it with people. 

So what did everyone think of Lady G at the VMAS? Im a fan, but goodness..I was kinda weirded out.

This is it for now, till next time..

May showers June flowers

The last few weeks leading up to today, has been a blur.

My life, Especially my brothers life will forever be change.  He lost he's best friend 2 weeks ago. 
Its still unreal that he will never be around.  Life is once again presenting us that life is to short.  Words can't comprehend the pain and loss we all feel.  Its a day to day struggle, Somedays he's infectious smile, or i can vividly hear he's laugh. Even reminscing about the good memories.  Though, i always thought he would be around till we all got married and had kids, i always thought he would be standing in the altar as my brothers best man.  They have a friendship that last longer than a marriage, over 20 years now. It breaks my heart just at the thought of him being gone , and how we are lucky to have known him.  This fresh and raw feeling i don't think will ever go away.  Its harder to know that a good person like him had an untimely death. Its even hardest to comprehend that my brother not only lost a best friend, but a brother. 

Oh the kruds,

So my asthma has never been bad or active shall i say until 2 years ago. But this past weekend has topped it all off.  My asthma has turned into something scarier than i've imagine. I never once thought it would come out like this. But the feeling of restricted to even go down the hall in my house has really been a wake up call.  I also found out that the city i live is #5 worst city to live in for asthma.  Im ready to move for a cleaner air city.  I will be making lifestyle changes, to better my health. 

stay strong, think summer body!

ha! off and on at the gym the last few weeks. Tonight, i get a text message from the amster saying
 "gym 715? be there or be kicked in the face"

As much as i LOL,  I went and did 25 min of cardio, 2 sets of 20 in squats, 2 sets of 15 in the twist torso machine, 2 sets of 10 in crunches, and 20 mins in the sauna. It really isn't much, but its a start back into a routine.  After the cardio I felt good, and after the gym I felt better. Its been awhile since i've incorporated other things. Last few times, I've just been doing cardio and sauna.  I really did feel good. Although i felt crappy with allergens last few weeks, I felt better.  Summer is not far off, I've got work to do.

No matter how I try to justify my absence, I do feel bad and obviously it shows.  Im not reaching for a size zero. But a healthy medium is what i want to attain. Reminscing to my soccer and younger years . How active i was. How healthy i was back than.

So cheers to consistency and feeling healthy!

I am ANNOYED!

...with ALOT of things

revive..

Have you ever studied for so long that when you are on a verge of sleeping, although you can't afford to shorten your study time decide to pop somethin in your mouth just for the sake of keeping awake.  In lue of the endless chapters i have to go over decide to munch on a "cutie", for some reason since i've bought it this past weekend. Its tasteless, its a good proportion for a healthy after 6 pm snack.  Now im fully energize and ready to finish this chapter tonight!  Ah, as i was reading i was thinking. Why could i have not chosen something more artsy. 

C-o-n-solidate

In lieu of the 2011  around the the corner.   I will be doing alot of consolidating of personal things. To direct my life into the path of my ambitious dream with more of a concrete foundation. Why not jump start this with a BANG! Every year, people make resolutions of what to accomplish before the 12 months is up.  Within the past 5 years of making resolutions i have kepted the 4 out of 5. Granite, this year i don't think i made one.    Life is definitley passing by quickly as you age.   Im still all for carpe diem, but my life is no where it should be. My 8 year plan after high school is slowly surpassing. Im scared, yet fortunate enough that I still have grasp on my future.  I need to be strong and put it into first gear.   Thanks to papa deux for the constant reminder of power of prayer.  Im in a spot of pushing forward, stopping the shenanigans for a little bit , and put extra effort in finishing my studies.  I usually don't like to share deep personal goals as there might be a chance to jinx myself. But i will share one,  its been on my mind for the past week. The word just seeps within my skin.  Which is FRUGAL, I hope to do less spending this year on unneccessary things for my sake and sanity. In turn, just rearrange things in my closet, use the resource i have and let my creativity outshine.  Ever since the word has crept in my thoughts, I seem to be browsing online for a designer bag. Yes, brand whore indeed.  Yet, I talk myself out of even at the thought of really coughing up that cash for one single fabulous piece versus of how much shoes or traveling expense it can go towards to. But in reality, i should be dispensing it towards my credit cards. So the evil things can finally be diminish and erase any evidence of my past expenses.  I can honestly say, i have 2 designer purse, in which only one was purchased from my own pocket. While the other was passed down from my mothers closet. I love it, but I believe I talk myself out of purchasing them due to the consequences of the aftermath.  I think i should invest in my future before I should invest in my closet.  Back to the routine, next week. Im excited! My body seems out of the loop and im suffering because i've had a chest cold the last 2 weeks.  But happy new year! Im signing off till next week..

wake me up when september ends..

I've been seeing this among my friends numerous time the last few weeks. Now im saying it!

I'm currently cramming, and i don't know why i do this to myself..a paper,a quiz and a test all due by midnight in 2 days. Why im somewhat freaking out, because i haven't been the ideal studious me as i have been with my previous courses. Thats because im not taking a science course this semester. Im finishing up my first major, ya long time coming but 3 more classes and im on to the next...

But yeah, on to the next...i haven't been to the gym in 2 weeks and i can tell significantly..my body is missing it..oo-mm-gee
