From My Heart to Yours

Work, Souvenirs and Such
My days have become routine. I wake up, I go to work, I go back to my apartment and I go to sleep. There really is nothing much more to my weekdays than that.(Other than the occasional supermarket visit or something of the sort, of course. And I am thankful that I get to go…

My Weakness is Showing
It happened. No matter how much I pep-talked myself, how occupied my days were, or how deeply I dug down into my inner well of strength, I find myself writing to you today, more homesick and lonely than I think I have ever been. I admit perhaps my biggest vulnerability is my fear of being…

And So My Journey Begins
My first week in the expensive city of Sydney has been eventful, to say the least. It took me about three days to get over my jet lag–I often found myself falling asleep by 6pm and then waking up before the sun did. I didn’t mind the waking up early part though because it really…

How to Update a Blog in 10 Minutes
My grades this semester are a reflection of how much more effort I put into extracurricular activities and my social life than I did my schoolwork. I am not blaming anyone at all, though, and I leave my junior year behind with my head held high. Even though everyone knows how seriously I take my…

Signs of Growing Up?
I have never been so busy in my life. Taking on this pageant has really been a crazy commitment that leaves me yawning all day and requesting a wake-up team in order to get to class on time. Balancing school, work, practice and getting things in order for my internship has been my life since…

Prospects, Pageants and Paychecks

I’ve Always Loved This
This one is for you Roch. “The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve. Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it will increase your mediocrity. An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with negative thinking and negative acting people. As you grow, your associates will change. Some…

It’s About Time
My trip to Jamaica was nothing short of interesting–as usual. Only in Jamaica can you go to KFC and be told there is no chicken. Seriously. Kentucky Fried Chicken with no chicken. (It really is as ridiculous as it sounds.) Anyone who moved up here from Ja can tell you that one of the first…

It’s That Time of Year
Yesterday was one of the smoothest days I’ve had for traveling in a while. (Well all except for the lady in the airport who tried to make a scene because we left our check-in bags at the front of the line since there were 6 bags and only two of us. Oh, and the tragic…

Desiderata
For those of you who are wondering where I’ve been, I’d say somewhere between a book, a bed and a classroom. Granted, I’d surely find time to make a post given the circumstance that I have some inspiration. Until then, I thought I’d at least share somethings I quite enjoy. Here’s to hoping you will…
