Untitled again.

This pain, it bleeds
uncontrollably;
an open wound, it remains
exposed to the tides;
remnants of
blood, salt and water;
remnants of
breath, pain and life;
remnants of
a heartache that
the tides can't wash away,
the pain won't go away.

Rock rules!

Moderation in Progression...

So its another blog/spiel about my life blah blah blah. Its my blog and I'll write what I want, gumdammit! :] Anyway, did I mention I'm settling in? Yeah, it feels good to have a place and bed to call your own. Everyone needs a home away from home, and I've found mine :) However, having finally acquired a place, I feel even more pressure; the pressure of having to be super-extra-duper-good-careful with how I handle my finances. The almighty dollar and I have a love/hate relationship. Before, when I was an RA, I was living the life (well, at least I thought so). I lived and ate for free, and every semester I got back huge sums of refund checks which made up for the meager checks I got for being an RA. I spent the money as I saw fit and now that I look back at it, I realize what an IDIOT I've been.

Now, I work one job, paying about minimum wage, and on top of a phone bill, I have rent and upkeep expenses to deal with. Of course, the obvious solution would be to go out and get another job, but I can't due to how busy I am this semester. And asking the parentals for money is out of the question for me; I hate that option. They have their own worries to deal with and I refuse to be one of them.

My only available avenue? Cut back. I'm remembering a phrase my mom always used to say when, as I kid, I would spend and want what I didn't need nor have. In Samoan she would lecture: "Ola fa'a tagata mativa." In English: "Live like a poor person." My mom lived and breathed that motto. She would only buy what we needed and spend wisely what we had, and on occasion, there would be a treat. Growing up, my siblings and I got the best of what we needed and if we wanted something, we had to work for it ourselves. My mom's life is all about budgeting and prioritizing; always making sure you have enough for all the needs before you think about what you want.

So that what I'm going to do. Cut back on what I don't need and start getting my finances in order. Its moderation in progression... or maybe I'll continue my progression with the practice of moderation. Haha. I think its true when they said too much of a good thing can be bad... in this case, money. haha.

Who knew growing up would be so difficult... and come in so many stages! lol

I'm out.

Hi, Haters!

So I've recently learned that my life is the subject of much gossip on foul tongues. People are funny because they think they're bring you down when they're actually fueling the fire for your way up. So attention, attention... HI, HATERS! Heres a few words of encouragement for you all:

I'm the cente​r of your atten​tion,​
The disru​ption​ to your celeb​ratio​n
What I live is what you menti​on
'Cuz while​ I shine​ you'​re in reten​tion;​
Your life has no forma​tion
It revol​ves aroun​d defam​ation​
So take a look I'm in accel​erati​on
There​s no stopp​ing my eleva​tion
'Cuz while​ you hate,​ I'm neari​ng perfe​ction​.​

-- Emman​uel Wendt​-​Willi​ams
talk yo shit & live your lies;​ you can'​t stop me, I'm on the rise!​

Stupid Cupid,


This is just a funny pic I found on another blog and I thought it would be cool to repost in lieu to this Valentines Holiday. Of course, I myself am not too big on this lovey-dovey holiday, but that doesn't mean I should rain on everyone else's parade, right? Haha. Maybe not...

Anyway, for everyone out there who has something special worth celebrating, more power to ya! Just don't f**ck it up. For everyone else, lets just get through this ONE day with all this stupid cupid crap (lol) and then get on with our lives.

Enjoy your day of chocolates, roses, scented candles and kinky lingerie! Haha.

Peace | Easy.

"Don't Interrupt.... Rude!"

Haha. Okay, so this whole week I've been a spiel about this clip. I know, I know, its an old one, but its HILAROUS. Especially when you're stuck in a three hour class texting jokes, quoting from this clip... LOL. So yeah, here it is. The infamous Bonquiqui :)



anty-wayz... this was a good week... well, kind of. I've been stressing out about school and stuff, and the reality is that its about to get tougher! I know I've been slacking but with hard work, concentration and an extreme amount of will, I can do it :) Hahaha.

Aight. Back to the books... so "Don't interrupt... RUDE!"

lol. I love it!

Late night boredom/Freeway drama

Okay, so I'm laying on my bed in my apartment, racking my brain on what the hell I'm going to write on for my paper due in a few hours and I just can't stop looking out my window... the view: the freeway of course. Now, most people would kill for a seaside/mountainside view, but I personally love the freeway; I mean, with all the cars and the noise and the excitement... I don't know, I guess I'm weird like that. LOL.

So anyway, as I was trying to research ideas for this damn paper (which as of now is still unwritten lol) I see cops pull over this car as it was trying to make its way onto the freeway. They've been there for about 30 minutes already and I managed to snap a few pics with my phone-cam. LOL. I'm excited! I'm seeing law enforcement in action! haha.

Here are the pics. The white circles indicate the car and the police car. A few mintues after I took these pics, another police car pulled by, and they were there for another 15 minutes before they all left. Hmmm... I wonder what the guy driving the car did...? haha!





And just in case you're wondering, heres a view during the day. Isn't it awesome! haha!



Alrighty... back to being studious (at 2:45am)! If anymore freeway drama happens I'll be sure to let you know! haha!

peace|easy.
