I think I'm gonna...

3 days and counting…

One word to describe this day: BLESSED.

Today, I went dorm shopping with my mom. The theme for my room is New York because I love that place SO DAMN MUCH. I plan to go back there again…this time, in the Winter, even though my mom refuses to. I found it so weird how easy it was going dorm shopping. Everything had a New York theme written all over it—-from NYC Skyline pillows, to my bedding, lamp, wall decor, and even storage bins. And I bought all of it. Yeah, I’m obsessed with it. I just love that place THAT MUCH. Not to mention, my roomie and I get along so well. I can’t wait to see her in 3 days! And not only was dorm shopping easy, but I got to spend the day with my mom. Easy dorm shopping plus a cool roomie plus spending the day with my mom…#BLESSING.

After the easy dorm shopping, I had a lunch date with my best friend Adrienne. I was so happy when I got a text message from her a few days ago asking me to hang out with her before I leave for school. The few hours I got to spend with her were priceless…and after all that talking, we’re still not fully caught up in each other’s lives. It seems as though the little time we see each other never affects our friendship. Nothing ever changes; we can always start from where we left off. I think that’s when you know you have a true friend for life. How can you not call that a #BLESSING?

And to end my day—Ultreya. To be honest, there was a moment when I was at home thinking of whether I should go or not. But I’m SO glad I made the decision to go, because at the end of the day, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. Even though Ate wasn’t there, I still felt her there. I knew she was. She always is. And even though I have no idea how I’m going to get the money to go to WWA, I know I’m going. With my heart’s desire and faith and trust in God, there’s no doubt about it. I can just feel it.

 I love how after every activity, my friends and I linger around. And I don’t mean my small group of friends; I mean the ENTIRE IE CHAPTER. I think it just shows how much we love The Center, our home. And I don’t mean the building; I mean the people—the love you feel when you’re there. I felt that tonight. #BLESSING. I felt the love, The Grace, I felt Ate…I just felt. If it’s one thing I’ve learned: “to deny a person to feel is to deny them existence.” And tonight, I felt it all. I felt happiness, sadness, joy, humor, serenity…I simply felt. And just being with everyone..#BLESSING. I can’t even begin to explain how hard I laughed tonight…WOOOOO! #QUEENAMADAHLA. Not to mention, I got dogged at, and all I have to say to you is “WOOO! I’M A QUEEN AMADAHLA!” Did I tell you I had my palm read? Yeah, a homie read my palm telling me my life story…not. Haha, but he did read my palm because he thinks he’s so cool. And then he tells me there’s a FACE READING and you have to look at the person’s eyes! Um, yeah, you will never read my face. EVER. Valerie tried hugging me even though I wouldn’t let her. And then B joined in on the hug…and once the 3 of us hug…let me just tell you that that is an EPIC HUG. I found out Mahooch aced her midterm—so proud of you, girl! Just remember “Tim..Lolo.” Good conversation in the parking lot. My best friend is loving college and I cannot be any happier for her. I’m alive, breathing…and I FINALLY STARTED. #BLESSING.

And after all of that, if you can’t call this day a blessing, then I don’t know what to call it. I think it’s really the little things that are the blessings, not the big things. Otherwise, if we constantly wait for the so-called “BIG” blessings, we miss out on so many of the little blessings that do in fact, make life enjoyable. Make life worthwhile. Make life…BIG. Because, after all, life itself is the BIGGEST blessing out there.

And all I can say is…blessed. I feel truly blessed.

I creep on the neighbors …

I cry over things …

I dance like nobody’s watchin’ …

I go out for a drive …

Weirdo.

YEUP. This was EXACTLY my day today. HAHAHA. Seriously.

4 days and counting…

Today was the most UNPRODUCTIVE day I’ve ever had all summer. Literally, this whole summer, I’ve only been home to sleep. But today, I actually spent time in my own abode, and I spent it alone. It was nice, though. I think it’s important to have that “me” time, and I mean that in the most unselfish way. I guess today was that day.

A friend of mine told me today that they would never get rid of the things I wrote them. That my writing was THAT GOOD. That meant so much to me, as lame as that sounds—that my simple words on paper actually mean something to someone. Maybe this is why I’m not hating this Tumblr. Truth is, I love to write, and sometimes, once I start writing…I can’t stop.

After being so unproductive all day (this meaning—watching TV, eating, TV, eating, playing detective, eating, TV, eating), I decided to be productive and set up my new printer for college. It took me a while, but I somehow managed to do it, and I did it ALL BY MYSELF. Lowkey, I am very proud of myself, because I’m so technologically inept. Haha, so this simple achievement only sparked my motivation to be more productive. So, I did my daily ab session, but I changed it up a bit and did it to the WORLD OF COLOR soundtrack. You know how long that is? Twenty-five minutes worth of beautiful Disney melodies. Listening to that while painfully working out made my workout a lot more pleasant. All I thought about was Disneyland and World of Color, not my painfully aching muscles. Haha.

Fatima is always nice. Mama Mary always has a way of calming me down. She is a true role model. There’s something very serene and peaceful about The Rosary. So peaceful, and yet VERY POWERFUL.

4 days and counting and I spent it by myself. I have no complaints, though. I’m alive, awake, and breathing. And I have too many blessings to even begin counting. All that I can count are the days I have left…

4 days and counting.

IF YOU DON’T KNOW ME, THEN DON’T FOLLOW ME. BECAUSE I SURE AS HELL PROBABLY WON’T KNOW YOU. 

UNFOLLOW ME IF YOU DON’T KNOW ME. 

Thanks.

5 days and counting…

Today was a long day. But, it had tiny moments that became big moments to me.

Mass with my #LadyKnights. Usual Sunday morning brunch at MickieD’s. A rather interesting volleyball game—damn, wtf happened?! Haha, it’s all good though. It is, after all, just a game. :) Soaking in that “Sportsfest Atmosphere“—this means just being with the homies and laughs, laughs, and more laughs. Laughs as in—I think I’m gonna…, It’s the wonderful World of Color!, Woooooo!, #QueenAmadahla, Valentina&Diamond love affair, tripping over nothing because I can’t walk in my own chinelas—kind of laughs. NAWADAMSAYIN? No, some of you probably don’t know what I’m saying. Haha. Sorry.

Having someone tell me that I touched their life—well, that made my day. It made me so happy inside knowing I made an impact on someone’s life, even if it was in the simplest of ways. I want to do that with my life—be the change in people’s lives. And knowing that out of all the people in my life, I was able to do just that with this person, well, I feel very thankful and blessed. To this person, I meant what I said back then and I still mean it just as much now. Always remember that.

#DebutSwag court practice. It was actually fun. Had a good walk with my two lovelies: my BFFL and Jo. It may have been only 15 minutes that we spent together alone, but I’ll remember that tiny moment of silence we spent together just walking and enjoying nature and each other’s company. It’s always nice to just be in comfortable silence with the people closest to you. I think that’s how you really know just how close you are with someone. Car ride home listening to old jams while talking about college life was the best. I never thought I’d see the day of this.

This may have seemed like any other day. And, you’re probably right. It was a normal and typical summer Sunday for me. But within this typical and normal day had these tiny little moments, tiny little blessings, that became big moments for me. And these tiny moments will mean more to me than you’ll ever know. 

#feelingblessed

And the countdown begins. 7 more days…
