A Wish Come True...

She truly is a wish come true...my little bundle of joy...my tiny bite-size munchkin... <3
Yet, she's getting so big, so quick! I still remember holding this little 10 lb baby and just look at her now..she even has her ears pierced!  I'm so grateful that her parents would give me the privilege of being their little girl's god-mother.

Truly, nothing beats having this big brown-eyed princess laughing and smiling back at you after a tickle session.

Indeed, life has been very kind to me as of late. 
-I got a new job, yes...about time! It will be part-time and just for pocket change until I'm done with my MCAT, then I can go beast mode in bread-making so I can TRAVEL all summer!!! Well, that's the plan at least.
-I've gained quick a few pounds since school ended. More sleep + more food + less stress = more fat! Haha..thank goodness I've joined the gym with the old man so this extra baggage should be taken in of in a month-two months TOPS.
-Old man loves and treats me very well...I'd do anything for that geezer!
-And the obvious-a beautiful little baby girl that makes my heart flutter with happiness.

There's not a day that goes by where I don't feel grateful for what the Lord has given. I look around and all I can see are the beautiful people that I love very much. I couldn't ask for more. 

Just a quick update for my readers..thank you for following me all along. I hope my amateur writing skills have entertained you thus far and will continue to do so... 8)

Nothing More Special Than Us

...and our love...

Unattainable Peace

I like to think of the world as good, and for the most part I still believe that to be true. There are many things we cannot control in the world, but the one thing, or person more so,we can control is ourselves. Maybe that's why many self-help books seem to emphasize on this unrealistic belief of peace, love, and optimism in the world. Since you're the only person you can control, you might as well be one extra mother effer that believes and promotes the more positive aspects of life. It's a big, big world out there, but for the majority of your life you get to see, oh what, 2% of it..if even? It's the same thing everyday-house, car, work, home again. That's the world in our eyes and we might as well make the best of it.

On to my point, what is it with this world peace thing? Realistically, it's impossible..for now at least. In the past, when everything was fine and dandy in my life...it was easy to believe in something as world peace, because it existed in my own little world. When turmoil surfaced, people's true colors were exposed. It brings me to question if I cannot attain peace within my own little circle of friends that consists of less than 10 people, how can we possibly attain a peace that is wide-spread among 7 billion people in the world? Uh..yeah good luck with that.

I'm not trying to be cynical or pessimistic. It's just at some point I have to snap out of the sheltered mentality that everything/everybody is good and it's going to be okay.

Once again however, I stress the point that you should still make every attempt for peace in your own life and for the people around you. If it works out...great, but if not, hey you did your part and that's all that matters.

Three Small Words

 

weheartit

I felt it and I knew you felt it too, but we were both afraid those three small words perhaps shouldn't be spoken too soon. And when the moment seemed just right, you allowed those beautiful three simple small words to slip ever so gently from your lips...'i love you.' 
My heart skipped a beat.
A vivacious fire lit inside my chest.
And a tingling sensation surged through my body, the sensation amplified at the tips of my limbs.
'i love you too' (and quite possibly more).

Forever

weheartit

Something rather refreshing has happened as of late. We have decided that our relationship will no longer take the form of a fling. We are giving up on the whole summer break up idea and a sense of liveliness has since taken its presence in our relationship. No more holding back, no more protecting or shielding fragile hearts, no more cloudy days...

It feels as if a huge ray of sunshine has burst into our lives. And though gas prices are sky high and our gas tanks may be on E, happiness and warmth fill our hearts to FULL.

So yes, I did potentially sacrificed getting into medical school this year because I decided to take the time I had to fall in love with a beautiful human-being instead. However, he has given me a new outlook on life. Now I have the chance and opportunity to aim higher. I am starting to consider going out-of-state. Which requires me to do extra well on the MCAT, and it may sound silly that I didn't try hard on my own before, people only work the minimum amount necessary, but having him makes me want to go the extra mile.

The best of luck to us my old man... I hope this lasts forever...

Don't Let Me Fall

"Well, it was just a dream.
Just a moment ago. 
I was up so high, looking down at the sky. 
Don't let me fall."

We all know that what goes around comes around.
What goes up, must come down.
With happiness, follows pain.
To have one, you must also receive the other.
Well, he is my up, he is my happiness, he is my one, he is my everything.
Please don't take that away from me.

"Cause I put my pain, my heart, my soul, my faith in this..."

You are the Center of the Universe, right? WRONG!

"...you are in the in-sig-nif-fi-cant-ness. When Beyonce said to the left, to the left, you can't get no left, that's how irrelevant you are..."
laugh. out. loud.
omg, he cracks me up.

When I entered the single life last year, my interaction with people increased significantly... obviously due to the fact my time was no longer consumed by a boyfriend. What I began to notice in people was a heightened sense of self-importance. People seem to feel as if they are the center of the universe and the world supposedly revolves around them. A lot of people do it, including myself I'm sure. Maybe it stems from the attention we got as children from our parents. Maybe it stems from insecurities. Or arrogance...or simply we feel the need to exist in a world filled with so many other individuals resembling ourselves. We desire the importance to somebody...anybody. Regardless of the self-absorbency's origin, at one point of another we have to come to the realization that we are NOT the center of the universe and the world in fact DOES NOT revolve around us. People have bigger and better things to worry about than you. People have bigger and better things to do than talk about you. People have bigger and better things to do than give you funny looks.
PLEASE STOP THINKING PEOPLE EVEN CARE ABOUT YOU!

People's need to feel special and significant is just sickening at times. Go eat a can of humility and do the world some good instead of thinking everything is about you...thank you.

Borderline

Yep, I can feel it. Any day now... and I'm going to blurt out those three simple words. I'm glad he feels the same. 8)

the warmth...
the happiness...
the attachment...
the dedication...
the borderline dependency...
the borderline love...




There's only one thing two do three words four you...because you the best I ever had.

It's a Celebration

Our First Mardi Gras 

03.08.11

 I am so happy I celebrated my first Mardi Gras with the ong gia. Though we didn't get to enjoy a full parade, we were able to experience a glimpse of it, hence the single bead dangling from our necks. A celebratory time indeed. Cheers to us honey and may the passion we share grow more exuberant as each day passes...

Perfect Fight

"...we fit perfectly..." -ong gia

In the beginning, the two of us were under the impression that we were starting something temporary, a couple of months at most. Honestly, only time will tell, but I'm not quite digging the idea of us ending anytime soon. We spent so much freaking time/energy contemplating our fate and ended up together anyways. Started out as friends and flowered into something so much more. No matchmaker, no middle man, just two people drawn to one another by the natural laws of attraction. Okay.. I lied, there was a little bit help along the way. Nonetheless, everything worked out nicely like puzzle pieces falling into place.


We had our first fight the other night, not exactly the right timing because we were out of town trying to have a good time. You know how special occasions can be stressful at times. It is scary to think we both had it in our heads that it was over at that moment. Once he broke the silence, all I could do was hold onto him and apologize a thousand times. No surprise, yes...I started the stupid fight and I swear to never do something that dumb ever again. We have resolved our problems and it's more clear than ever that we both want this. We both don't want to lose what we have. I know I've mentioned this before and excuse me but I must say it again, he is more than I could ever ask for, more than what I dare to dream, and we fit perfectly... 8)
