| i found this from a blog on oct 24, 2004. do i still want the same thing..3.5 years later? yea. i think so. but i still haven't met him yet.
he's nice
smart
and cute.
he can make me smile... laugh...
he can make me cry but won't.
he's a softie when it comes to matters of the heart
but you can't break him down when it comes to his beliefs and morals.
he's clever and witty
but knows when to be sincere.
he gets along with his family.
my parents love and care for him.
he listens to my sister's stories, all three or four times
and plays with my little brother, even when i'm not at home.
he goes to church on a weekly basis.
he's athletic and sporty
with a competitive edge.
he's not a sore loser when i beat him at games
but will always have an excuse as to why he lost.
he loves little children
and they love him too.
he's innocent and child-like with his actions and words
but he's far from being childish.
he's shy in crowds of people
but talks up a storm with me.
he's not afraid to dance
even if we're the only two on the dancefloor
cuz our favorite slow jam just came on.
he doesn't know how to be romantic
but it's cute how he tries.
he's punctual.
he's book smart and has common sense.
he loves to eat with me.
he calls just to say HI.
he can be spontaneous but knows that having a planner is a must.
he's usually on top of things.
he's respected by young and old alike.
his words are powerful
his actions are too
he has big plans for the future
but still knows how to have fun.
he takes pleasures in little things.
he donates his time
no matter how much a person needs.
he's always there when his friends are in trouble
yet never expects anything in return.
he enjoys just sitting around and talking.
he doesn't care that i'm weird
he even loves my little quirks.
it doesn't bug him to know my best friend is a boy
and that some days i just want to be alone with my girls.
he can cook and clean.
he doesn't spoil me.
he lets me pay every other time
because he knows i'll get mad if he always covers.
he loves chick flicks
and he's not afraid to cry.
he doesn't mind renting the movie from the video store
and watching it with me and my friends.
he doesn't forget birthdays or anniversaries or even valentine's day
but knows he doesn't always have to celebrate on those days.
everyday with him is special
and he shows me love regardless of the occasion.
he has a million other qualities that i can forever write about...
but i'll wait til after i meet him.
it's 11 something pm. i have two weeks until the end of the semester. i have probably 10-12 assignments still due. mostly by next monday......but im procrastinating. this going to be a nasty weekend. but after this month then i will be done with my first year of graduate school :) sweetness.
i just came back from vegas. after 3 months of not seeing the homies, i got to spend a short weekend with them <3
won't be seeing any of them til august (if i'm lucky).
still not sure if i deserve everything that's been happening but i sure am thankful for it all | | |
| it's 5 degrees outside. but accuweather says REALfeel is -29 degrees fahrenheit.
despite the coldness (and as of this moment), i LOVE chicago.

| am i really still writing in my xanga? amazing what little habits we hold on to no matter how much we try to break them. not that this is an everyday thing...but it's a has been since 2003.
i went out with 3 other girls last night. it was cool. sex and the city-ish. the only differences were that we were sitting in a bar in chicago, not new york. and there were two asian girls. and we ranged in ages from 22-30. and the night didn't end at the first bar we went to, actually it ended early for two us while the other two stayed out til 4 in the morning. anyway, it was my first night out since i've been back to chicago and i realized just how much i love living in this city.
the lease to my apartment will be half over by the end of the month. that means i only have 1 1/2 years left in this beautiful city. and although that leaves me 18 more months to make any big plans, i've already decided that i'm moving back to california.
new goals.
no more doctorate. at least not for now.
instead. i want to travel. but this time i'm not going alone. i'm going to make sure that i have at least a friend with me. so that i may at least share those new experiences with an old friend.
i do want to work. and make a difference in people's lives. instead of leaving my clients every semester to work with someone else.
i want to buy a condo or a townhouse in either orange county, la county, or san diego county.
after living on my own, i realized just how much i love it. i spent the last 3 1/2 weeks in california for winter break and when i came back home on wednesday to my place, it was one the best feelings in the world. i was home. and it was all mine. except i'm only renting it. ha. i want to buy. a place of my very own. by 27.
that's all.
school starts on monday. i'm excited. only 3 full semesters and 1 summer semester left. then i'm coming home to start a-new again. but this time i'm going to be smarter about everything.

| writing just to write.
about nothing.
i feel as if im imbalanced.
too much of this. too little of that. never just right. it seems its been this way for years but whenever i try to do something about it the imperfection of it all shines even brighter.
i moved out to chicago 2 1/2 months ago.
do i love it?
sure.
do i hate it?
i did.
and i do. everytime my plane leaves l.a.x.
i live in a studio.
it's a big bedroom with a big closet. but it's cool cuz it comes with a mini-kitchen and a mini-bathroom.
the only thing missing is roommates.
and my doggies.
i miss coming home to not things.
its hard waking up in the morning.
harder than its ever been.
nothing depends on me being up.
anymore.
i don't mean to sound..
down.
before i say i can't help it...i'll stop. because i can. i just need to find something else that motivates me.
so i told myself a long time ago to follow my dream. i think i used to have one. but i can't seem to find it anymore. people look at me and think i'm on this wonderful path to success. i'm young and independent and free. i finished my undergrad early and took the next steps of getting into a master's program in hopes of receiving that doctorate in psychology before i turn thirty. i'm living in this beautiful city, making it on my own. in the meanwhile i've managed to keep in close touch with all the friends and family from back home. i hold my head high and tell them all the good things happening in my life. all the little accomplishments that bring me closer to that goal. the goal of getting that ph.d. but is that really all there is? i love what i'm studying. i love the idea of my future career. but..
but..then what?
i just don't have a passion for anything anymore.
why do they say it's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all?
do they only say that on the days when it's not bad?
cuz today i don't agree. | | |
| chicago. 3 weeks left in california. july 1-15 and july 21-28.
oh the craziness that is in my head. i didn't expect this to happen. and although it's coming along so perfectly...it still isn't ideal. why that one? why now? why not later? why? why? why? i have nothing important to complain about. i think i just want to make things up because it makes the day-to-day life so much more interesting. right? so why dream of the perfect life if you're never going to be happy with it? | | |
