  3. I need to get a new door for my room
  4. I NEED a haircut
  5. get back on track with school loans
  6. start working out again
  7. call mi tia y abuela
  8. get my rosetta stone
  9. i need and IPOD!!!
  10. sign up for an easy pass
  11. donate some of my clothes to the poor I don't need
  12. find a hobby to make some friends

mainly these things require funds which I will be attaining but I need to prioritize and stop getting tickets I rode through the ez pass by mistake today thats another 100$ ticket!

getting personal

I AM totally having a moment right now!!!!
i felt evil a little bit ago I had some strange thoughts about my Mom.... I know I'll get through this and smile at the end because thats what Im good at

Money has arrived

Money is what I call Kerry! I thugged her out a little bit ahaha and besides then I'll always have money in the bank. But she's visiting her family in NJ and we made the trip to NYC and she came to see my pad and life here. I'm so happy to see her and hang we just sat around talking.
We started the day by grabbing some Blue Moons at a bar in NJ with a Spinach Dip. My favorite little appetizer!! We toured her house and her town where she grew up it was soo cute.
Then we came back to the city toured my new town and headed out to grab some Mexican food. I am obsessed with guacamole so we went to my usual spot. The whole day was so peaceful and all we did was reminisce about the good old days.

I love looking back with my friends cause they remember so much!! Money and I have been through a lot together much like my other friends and I look back and smile. We have been on trips and adventures then other days just laid around. I adore my friends and memories, it saddens me when they want me to move back because as much as I miss the Miami years chapter. In my book that city is closed, now I'm moving forward here with all of them a phone call or text message away.

small inspirations

I like to walk through the world with my ears and eyes open! I've been walking through learning from everyone around me and grabbing inspiration from some interesting places. Mainly I get inspired by my friends they all have an uncanny ability to post or text email or call me about something my head has been thinking about. Lately much like Miss. Latisha I have been pondering my own next move. She like many other of my friends have attained the goals they set to be at during this point of their lives. They key question seems to keep dragging everyone down is whats next...

When your 5 or 6 your twenties seem light years away. When you get to your twenties and your in "adulthood" you feel rushed to reach whatever that next step is. I keep explaining to all of them that we should feel blessed to be where we have reached as not everyone in the world is as lucky as my friends. Many of you are teachers, store managers, work with celebrities on different levels, and some of you have families. Children are said to be the greatest blessing. I'm just not there yet. My dream has always been to live in New York for some big corporate company and just live a life I was enjoying.

Well I'm here in the Big Apple great apartment just landed a job with growth opportunity and I may not having a flourishing relationship or bank account but I'm going to attain one before the other. So much like Latisha I'm where I dreamed I would be at this point. Although I was always a dreamer and a boy chaser as a little girl so my Prince Charming is still somewhere. But looking back at the struggles I've gone through to get where I am. I got here pretty easily! Maybe I'm not pushing my self hard enough to get further ahead since I am comfortable with where I am???

evil

Well I noticed the house was somewhat different. The 3rd roommate came home to my surprise, I thought he was in LA doing god knows what. But anyway he totally found his Louie V shades in my glasses case and took them back :(....... I was enjoying the time stuntin in his shades. But more importantly I know hes gonna want to flip on me for having them. I can not lie I hope it makes him want to move out!!!! I just don't want him in here! Its soo annoying that hes never here his shit is here and hes just plain old annoying....

I'm normally not mean but hes just erking me "living" here at least clean your mess up and keep it in your room if your never ever gonna be around!

ME!!!

I am soo tired right now! Im exhausted from constantly catering around everyone else's schedules at the moment. I know it sounds selfish but I would have loved to just sleep in today and tote around New York. Instead I got little sleep, awoke early and drove 2.5 hours ( its not an extra half hour these days) to PA to come have dinner with the family. I enjoy being close to home and getting to POP in and out but sometimes I just want to actually have a DAY OFF! Very soon i will have a mini vacation that will be all about ME!!! In the mean time my head ace and I are going to go attend dinner. I hope my head ace decides to not stay!

gotta go they are rushing me out the house

end of my sentence

Okay so I haven't blogged in a hot minute about anything to emotional or sappy! I've been pretty much straight forward with my moving forward. During which time I have been blocking the negative feels... but once in a bit my end of the sentence comes and everything falls on me like a ton of bricks.... So its that time! Yes I am sad about the situation that I lost a bond with him. yes it pains me deeply that we don't speak... yes its my fault I screamed those mean somewhat truthful emotions out loud.... YES I WANT YOU BACK IN MY LIFE!!!!
Tonight sitting there in his house with his friend I could barley fork down my amazing pollo lo main! I lost my appetite!! I just wanted to turn around give him a hug and barry the hatchet! that didn't happen. It was miserable uncomfortable and well the only we shared conversation about was the yanks and the weather. We never looked at each other and we never directed conversation at each other. It suck :( I never want to be that way with anyone especially not him. But this is life you win some you loose some. Somethings stay the same most things change. If you don't roll with the changes you get lost in the dust.... I just wanted this to end the way I wanted it to end. The way it started as FRIENDS

fabulous visit

It's always awesome having people visit and this visit from Kea has been fantastic. I have really gotten to get into the city since her little exploring ass arrived. Yesterday was an exceptionally exciting day! We woke at around 1 since the night before we were out till 4 am! The night before we spent trucking through the city stopping at all different venues. We hung out with her friends from the break-dancing world. In addition to the breakers we kicked it with the smelly skate boarders! i had such a great time with both crowds of people however. We enjoyed some frosty cold beers and watched the amazing dance moves.
Sunday fun day however, we really got the party started! After we took our time deciding how to layer up to explore the city we hit it to the skate park up the block. It was fun watching all the young kids skate around while we waited for her friend Jilleen!
Jill is Chinese and we explored China town from a whole different perspective then I ever have! We ate PHO! I recommend this beef noodle soup to anyone! PHO is cheap tasty and filling as well as fun! You mix it to your own tasting adding lemon hot sauce japs! We drank jasmine tea and topped it off with Chinese bread pudding.... a few blocks later we stopped in a candy shop... more treats there..... after we turned the corner we scooped up some Chinese ice cream. I had the toasted sesame peanut butter and kea had a bland red bean.
We didn't digest the food till we reached the Rock n Roll Annex where they had a John Lennon Exhibit. I was opened up to a whole other side of rock & roll. I love kickin it with Kea since she takes time to show me new and exciting things. I adored the love store between John and Yoko Ono! It was very emotional to watch and learn and a bit over whelming. but it was a romantic exhibit and i adored it. After watching a great love story begin and end we headed to El Sombrero in the LES for guacamole! We had great conversation and then walked back to the house and feel asleep by 1 am!
(sigh) very fulfilling day we had. Never once did we get on the train from my house to the annex all the food and back. My apt is the perfect place in the city. Thanks to Kea I had a great tour of New York with her and Jill. HA I was suppose to be taking her around but as usual kea taught me!

earth shattering

So there is nothing exciting going on right now in my life.... Its cool I suppose that my life is quiet. I'm lucky nothing bad is happening. But I can't wake to shake things up soon I got nothing inspiring exciting or shitty.
Today I quit adidas ( sniffle sniffle) it was hard to tell Danny I was going to be leaving the company. I didn't tell him it was to go to PUMA I felt like that was unnecessary. I really hope that PUMA is everything I want. I quit the gym too! Its going to be the first time in a very long time that I will have only ONE job!!! yeah a normal life of 2 days off a week and time to relax and enjoy ahhhh

Just in time for the summer time I will be enjoying!

I want to scream on a roof top I AM THE SHIT!!!!

Okay I am blessed I waited I was positive I was patient and I received!!!

The job I wanted soo terribly bad I GOT OFFERED!!! They didn't match the exact salary requirement I had but they came closer then any other company so far!!!

I'm SOOO PROUD OF MY FRIEND JENNIFER!!!! She was in charge and owned the situation!!! Go on GIRL... She Loved her self and she Proved it! It only gets easier from here!!!

fashion foe

This bothers me a little bit YOU ARE NOT A FASHIONISTA if your a LABEL WHORE!!!

Fashion comes from what makes you feel comfortable, confident and radiant!! You can be amazingly dressed with a shirt from target! Walking around I see people carrying their expensive bags and shoes that look like their feet kill! This does not make you a fashionista! Being fashion savvy is about putting together something that is attractive and tasteful. I have been searching for my new style and feel like it needs to be more "grown". Working @ adidas I can't just give up my kicks clearly that's my uniform. But I do get it poppin after hours. & yes my style includes my sneakers... I'm still slowly finding pieces that will work into my new wardrobe but I'm not following a specific category. I'm going for great fit and style that makes me strut the sidewalks!!

what a day

i love my car I mean its the biggest thing I have ever purchased and I spend most of my income on it so i adore it. BUT... i drive way to much sometimes.. today I got new tires on the front for my baby after i spent an hour detailing her with my step dad last night!

Today I kept getting lost and driving in circles!! i was soo aggravated but after many deep breaths i found my way! Then drove to have dinner with my dad, brother and his girlfriend (she just moved in with my dad and Bro). Dinner was amazing my dad is the greatest cook the pork chops were tender and I love potatoes & Corn so I was very pleased. He of course even had cake for dessert!! I'm TOTALLY my fathers child we both ADORE CAKE!! Although tonight he asked about my Love Life.. I of course replied with NOPE I'm single STILL Dad living in New York it isn't the easiest place to meet people. He also noted that I picked up a few pounds. ( thanks dad!)

I'm so exhausted I finished the night hanging with my step dad for a bit and now I'm heading to bed before horse back riding in the morning. I love staying busy up here is PA but its soo much work to get around! I love the family time I wish my Mom was around for it but I can't have a perfect world

I really had inspirational words but my brain is hurting. literally my head is pounding so I'll continue later but Ladies remember your my friends because your special and amazing. So start loving yourselves and stop looking for someone else to provide you with a fairytale. Create it yourself!!!!

I know I'm living one :)

myself

I spent almost 6 years in Miami in a college atmosphere always having people around and most of the time knowing my scene. New York is my rebirth of self and I get lots and lots of alone time. Most of it is therapeutic while sometimes it's just lonely. My almost day off today went like this....

I woke up in time to move my car. After I got dressed and managed to look cute i took my happy ass bed shopping. I started at sears then found myself house shopping and day dream at Ikea. I ate lunch at Ikea by myself and thumbed through the catalogue. As I was wishing I had money to buy things and strolling through the isles, I was being followed my a terrible example of a father. This guy was using his kid to try to talk to me while his girl was gathering items GROSS!
After Ikea I came home where I prepare all my mothers day cards and Moneys birthday card!
next
Lambert and Carla then called me and I met with the happy couple to their hotel room. It's always great to have visitors. After a short meeting at the gym which ruined my day off I'm home... ALONE
It's cool sometimes other times it makes me really miss my friends who are scattered. But this is all part of the rebirth.

work work work

My universe is still riding high on cloud nine!! Things are really on the up and up with the work situation. ( still awaiting my background check for my last interview) But in the mean time while I finish out my last few days at SLVR I am working hard to get things in order before I work down the block at the factory aka Originals!

Its going to be intense to be there its always wild and crazy. I am sure I will fit right in but I am still slightly hesitant as my Miami experience was so wonderful and perhaps a jaded idea of a work place. It is as though the fish bowl is a mythological space in time. Its to perfect flowing for it to be real life.

Anyway lots of people are going to be in New York this weekend wooohoo Anthony, Lambert and Carla I CAN"T WAIT to get outta work!!!!

JUST BUY IT!!!

I'm the worst this always happen.... I procrastinate on making purchases and then the item is no longer at the fabulous selling price I discovered it at.... I am going to assume this means I am not an impulse shopper and thats TERRIABLE!! I missed seeing Jay Z once then Twice I also missed a trip to Orlando and NOW my ticket to MIAMI just hit a severe increase :( I am going to be on 8th street drinking a call a cab ASAP!!! Even if I have to twirl on a pole to pay for it PHSYC!!!

Allow this to be a lesson BUY BUY BUY when you see it and it seems to good to be true grab it before its gone!!!!
