If there's one thing to know about me is that I live for the nights I can't remember with the people I won't forget doing things I won't regret :)
1) Is change good or bad?
Person, “I initially believe change is good because you want to change to improve yourself, why would you change in a bad way to hurt yourself and not progress?”
Change can be good, how can you get anywhere with out experiencing something different. I guess I do believe now that I’m not the same as I was a year ago :)
2) Are you happy where you are now?
Yes because everything that I’ve been through led me to where I was sitting yesterday night.
3) What would you change?
I don’t like to back track and think what I would change. Maybe some choices.
Change begins with the choices you make. The reason to how and why we make choices is what we feel in our heart. Not our physical organ heart, but who we are as beings. It’s our being that makes us make choices. What makes you, you? With out your being, then you wouldn’t be you.
Change will always happen even if we don’t like it.
Today at carecell everyone was asked that question as something to share or a blessing they’ve had that week. I couldn’t think of any that really stuck out to me except that I’ve gotten A’s on my math quizzes so far. That doesn’t usually happen haha. I was really blessed for that, but I didn’t say anything. At the end of the lesson it came to me of what I was extremely thankful and blessed for!
Blessed for: Yesterday night I almost rear ended a car going 70 /80 mph on the freeway. I was talking to chino in the car, interestingly about car crashes, and I started spacing out and focused on telling my story. My friend said slow down and all of a sudden I snapped out and I started breaking really hard to the point where the tires started screeching and skidding. At that point I was about 20 ft or less away from the car so I acted fast and switched lanes. Ohh I was in a minor shock I couldn’t say anything, I was just shaking.. Guys, “Props val you handled it well and didn’t panic. We would’ve panicked.”
Oh my goodness, I am just so blessed that nothing happened. I don’t want to imagine where I’d be right now if that happened and if I didn’t react with in that split second.. I feel bad for the guys, I’m sorry :(
Thank you Lord for fast instincts..
11:00 pm, “What do you guys feel like doing?”
Me, “Let’s go to the beach!”
Kev/Chino, “DOWN.”
Went to a private beach.. We were suppose to chill and relax until we started sharing trippy stories and the tide was coming closer to us. -__-. The sounds of the waves scared me, I felt bad for Chino because I kept jumping on him and I kept socking kev for saying, “Oh.. what the hell is that!?” LOL. Did you know that the Philippines is the 2nd scariest place in the world? #1 being Transylvania!?
Earlier recap at 6:00 pm, since it was traffic before hitting the game we had a Pokemon draft :) Who would be your top 6 pokemon, choose wisely because this is what you’re gunna be training with until the Indigo Plateau!
Me, “hmm.. I could choose this.. one hmm what do I have? water, fire.. I need grass.. ugh. So hard.. You guys? I like how we’re really concentrating and thinking hard about this.”
Everyone, “Hell yeah”
Chino, “Only up the Johto league we can draft”
So I would draft 1) Dratini because its last evolution is Dragonite and that one is my favorite pokemon! 2) vulpix because I like nine tails 3) Machamp because I need a fighting champ 4) Pidgy because he evolves into pigeotto. Can’t beat the original and he’s so badddass! 5) Abra because I feel like it 6) Chikarita because kev already took bulbasaur..
This conversation lasted an hour plus.. x]
January is practically done next week! Where did the time go?
Accomplishment of this month: Learned how to drive a manual!
Anyways, busy week! :)
Sometimes I can’t figure what’s good for me
What it looks to me, that I’m hopeless
Why should I bother when every guy
That I talk to thinks I’m a holla
Fantisize, he’s pretty bad
he smiles so bright when he holds my hand
he says he likes my favorite bands
So he manned up then asked to dance
So I’ve abandoned my concious, feel so right
Trapped in the moment then we take flight
I’m bendin’ space and time
On a spaceship that lights the sky, so we go
Not exactly the lyrics but I like hehe :)
Kev, “Imagine you get so stressed, you turn your head and just have a tantrum?…WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU ARE?!”
*awkward silence, students turn heads*
Teacher, “..Okay everyone tree pose.”
getting home at 2:30 am yesterday, damn I miss that feeling =)
was a hell yeah kinda night. All the cards are in my hand,
kev, “YOU GO GIRL”
Me, “YEEUH SUUCK IT ASS!”
Me, “I can’t wait to wake up and realize that ..”
Ron, “You’re gay!”
Me, “yeah.. that I’m.. GOOD. wtf”
Ron, “Have you told anyone you’re gay yet?”
Me, “No not yet.. haven’t told anyone.. no ones ready for the truth yet..”
LOL
The realist guy I know and the cleanest drug dealer too..haha. I’ve been hanging out with him too much. Can’t seem to get enough of the fun =)
JC, “Okay Brazilian or… val!”
Ron, “… BRAZILIAN.”
Me, “WHAT!? But Ron.. you give me butterflies in my stomach!”
Ron, “omg. so gay.”
Me, “But you give me butterflies!?!!?!”
JC, “HAHAHAH”
Time to end the rest of the day on a good note <3
Love them like there is no tomorrow!
Friends will always be by your side, you just have to OPEN your eyes to find the ones that are willing to go through the bad times AND the good times with you. The ones that are willing to put up with your Bull shiiet and still be there tomorrow! The ones that will keep you motivated and keep your head up high because that’s all you’re going to have if they’re not physically around.
People are like parts of a tree and you’re the tree. Know the difference between the leaves, the branches, and the roots of a tree. The leaf can stay but leave any minute when the wind blows. The branch can grow but lead in different directions. The ROOTS are the ones that help, support, and keep the tree alive.
APPRECIATE the ones around you but get to know the ones that have the potential of being that one friend you NEED.
This is dedicated to my friends who have always been there for me and who are there for me right now. Thank you for being the roots that keep the tree up, me. =)
