its definitely the end.

BEFORE YOU START READING THIS PLAY THE SONG "AVE MARIA" AND THEN READ ON:
IT MAKES A BETTER EFFECT)

I Am...Sasha Fierce


i started out college thinking that life was going to be hard, but now that my
first semesters over, i've realized its even worse than i had thought at first.
and its not going to get any better from here on out.

my first semester of college was an experience like no other. when i think of it,
my first semester was split up in two parts: the fun part and the school part.
obvously the school part is what still gets me. trying to study so hard for tests
to only find out you get f's on them is so not what i expected. school is hard and
thats what sucks, its just going to stay the same until i leave and graduate.
i guess i can't really decribe how it is. its always this constant pressure on you
to get the best grades possible. but how when theres so many people trying to compete
with you and all you can do is try. its just hard. one second you can be there and
another second you can be gone. and why? because a certain class (thats not important)
happens to be the biggest obstacle to you to get to the program? school can be
F'ed up. but i guess thats just me complaining.

but aside from school, i'd rather spend my time talking about the fun part of my
first semester of college. to start off, i didnt find it hard to transition from
high school to college because of my high school friends. eric, nikki, claudette, and joanne (aside from kristina and sam; because i see them everyday) really helped me through the transition. having them constantly care, having them constanly there, and constantly talking to them made me feel like they still cared. i never felt alone
and i'm happy they're my best friends =]. to know that you can be far apart and
still talk like you see them everyday is when you know that you've got a good thing
or things in your life. thanks guys, you are my bff's for life. and even though i
dont talk to everyone everyday, when i do talk to you: i love you. fio, galia,
tracey c., carissa, gonda, jen, and darlene i'm talking about you. even though i dont
talk to you daily, when i get the chance too: its amazing. thank you for also
keeping me sane. =] i couldnt do it without you.

i have to add a disclaimer. lol. i want to especially mention ballada and sam.
without these two cutes, i'd kill myself on that mountain. i want to specially thank
them for keeping me sane and helping me to get through every hell day at school.
they're pretty much why i can get up to go to school: because of these two bitches. i know that they'll be there for me and i love you guys so much you have no idea!

anyways my new friends are also a fun part of my college experience. i love you CRU.
you're to many to name! but thanks too for being there. tiffany, ballada, sam, rosanna, adrienne and josh. thanks for everything. the last weeks of school were
some good times only because of you. the laughs, cry's, and crazyness is something
i'll always remember. thanks to you guys i've been able to keep myself on the mount.
and without you guys i wouldnt wake up to go to that "hell hole." our late night
eating runs, our random outings and our infinite amount of laughs, cry's, and serious
talks with the sexual parts too lol. thanks so much for helping me through it all.
and i can't forget all those people i actually shared REAL and TRUE talks with:
im talking about you guys that were part of our "mini kairos." lol thanks for
listening and thanks for understanding. i love you guys (you know who you
are: all of us in my room that one random night. but i'll mention you guys again: sam, kristina, justine, adrienne, josh, and joflo)

pretty much the fun part of my first semester was definitely FRIENDS. my first roomie
scooter, my newly found friends from CASA, pretty much the people at the mount are
what makes it fun. so thanks.

but of course i couldnt forget the best people in life: my pink ladies (coco, kim, mace).
KIMMIE and MACEY especially i really do love you guys so much. thank you
for letting me... be me. =]

but now that my first semester is over, i've realized that i'm constantly being
surrounded by great people. i'm really lucky. and even if i dont see
everyone next semester i'm happy to have shared such a good first semester with you.
it really is the end of a good semester, thank you GOD.
but im sure i will seee you when i see you.

anticipation and excitement.

school is coming to an end. its our last week of school full of finals.
well not exactly full. but i just can't wait to get out!

fun because of the people. but it was also very hard... so im really happy to
get away from it all. i feel i deserve a break. a few more days...
can't wait. see you soon cupcutes: claudi, tracey, nikki, carissa, elisha and sam & ballada, i'll see you guys more. see you providence. we should have a reunion.

college nights.

theres nothing like those college nights.
its thursday night with nothing to do and no transportation to the clubs.
what to do? bring the party to us. laughs, more laughs, pictures, drinks
and a pretty ole good time with the friends. theres nothing
like those days! the college nights when you're room becomes the party
and where people are there to crash right after. taking care of your friends who
are totally shitfaced and are totally out of it. life wouldnt be complete
with those college nights. thats what its all about, the pure enjoyment of life and fun. nothing can can better than this. it may not be your proudest
moment, being all gone. but its definitely a moment to remember.
life at its best. thanks college, and heres to the night. may it be remembered and never forgotten. we all need a little fun in our lives. live, laugh, love, take pics, get shitfaced, laugh somemore, video tape yourself on a mac, laugh again, drink, eat, and crash.
live it up, you only get one chance.

waiting for the world to CHANGE.

its funny how when you move two steps forward, it seems to take you 5 steps backward.
the recent news in our country has really gotten to make me think about the world.
the recent election has been probably the hottest topic around. and Obamas win has
really touched me. not because i'm democratic or republican, but because i feel like
its a move forward for mankind. our first black president, who couldnt be any
happier? what does this tell you? that things are CHANGING. thank GOD. its about
time! why does the minority have to feel like the odd ball out. well, guess what.. not anymore. =]
but along with this victory came another defeat. although we've moved a step away from racism,
i feel like we've moved 10 steps closer to discrimination. how so? easy, PROP 8.
sure, we may have defeated racial dicrimination but have we defeated all discrimination?
nope! why does it matter if you are in a same sex marriage? its upsetting that
people have the power to deny someone the right to marry the person they love, whether or not
if they're the same sex. i thought marriage was about LOVE, have people forgotten?
not that im bagging on you if you voted yes on PROP 8, its just sucks.
what would you do if someone told you you couldnt marry someone you love?
if you dont like gay marriage, then don't marry a gay person. plain and simple.
im all about equality and rights and although OBAMA's win is a step forward, yes on prop 8 is just a step backward.

this is not written because its about me or because its about someone i know,
this blog is just about the people out there who just want live like you and me.
EQUALITY... isnt that what we all want?

funs over, back to work.

ohkay, so this week was pretty much my chill week. i went out
every single day, whether it was a late night food run or hanging
out with my "CRU". but now that this week has come to an end, the last month of
school is starting to kick into high gear. everyday next week and the weeks after there is a test, quiz, or presentation, and even project. the next week is full
with anatomy lab quizzes, an anatomy lecture test, and a micro quiz. all of which
i need to ACE. but its hard and thats the problem. this is just so hard. no matter
what i try to do, i feel like its never enough. school has become my life.
it seems like theres no time to have fun anymore. and when i get the chance, it
barely counts as fun. i dont know what im trying to say but.. yeah.

ahh the stress is coming. can't wait till its all over.

sorry it always talk about this school stuff
but it really is a big deal. anyways, i hope you're okay.

have fun stay safe and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

things have changed.

i dont know what it is, but definitely things have changed.
not only school, but my life, and basically me.
on one hand theres my personal life: im finally okay
thanks to kimmie and macey. and btw i love you guys.
with the whole school thing, things seem different:
people, friends, school. i feel like im starting to get left
behind with all the grades. i feel like im starting to go down
with my grades. and it feels like i've lost my motivation to
study. life is difficult and i can't wait to go but then i realize that my friends aren't going to leave me behind, the ones that really care. i know i got my msmc friends like sam and ballada and of course my "CRU". but im starting to feel that
i might be that one person who doesnt cut it. but enough negativity its time to
focus on positivity. i will make it, i promise. =]

uhhh its just one of those times when life gets too much.
i guess all i need is that extra kick and im good.
im done, and thanks for reading.

its not the mount, its a fucking mountain!



ohhhhkayyy, so its been like so long since i've written in this and i believe its about time to do so.
let me update you on whats happened so far. i finally moved into my dorm room, so i guess im kinda
on my own. i've met different people. some new friendships have been created, and some old friendships
have been tested. its not dramatic or anything but the friends in my life are the ones i want. and im good with that.
school has begun, and like i predicted... its hard. nothing can better explain it than that word.
nursing is exactly what i've been warned about. school is harder for me than it has ever been.
the only breaks i feel i ever get is the time i have to sleep, which ranges from 4-6 hours. i have to admit
i've spent some time chillin and talkin with people instead of studying, but college is also about fun, right?
but school is getting worse, micro and anatomy are enough to handle but add both labs, psych papers, english essays, and spr
freshmen intro to college classes... and what do you get, a big ass headache. im still tryna balance all my school work in with some
leisure time but it just gets crazy. i hope i get into the nursing program by the end of my freshmen year. i really need that to happen. but all i can do is try my best in school and pray that it all works out for my benefit.

college, it definitely is a challenge and it really is different from high school.
ill see you guyys later, pray for me and for all the nurses in the world lol. =]

goodbye to yesterday

i've realized. things arent going to be the same anymore.
i mean school wise. it finally hit me that
im not going to be with the people who helped
me become me the past four years. its so hard
to take in. not seeing my friends that ive
grown so accustomed to being there.

i dont know what it is. but it sucks. im
definitely gonna miss all our times
together, the good and the bad.

i dont know what other way to say this,
but i misss high school. i dont miss the
dumb drama and all the stupid bitches.
but i will definitely miss the amazing and
unforgettable times i had with my closest friends.
this blog is dedicated to you guys:
my cupcutes, MAFIA, all of asia, all my BFFs,
all of my friends who i will truly miss.

i can never forget my high school friends.
its been so clearly stated to me by alot of
older people ive come across. they all say the same thing,
your high school friends are the friends
that you keep close to you the rest of your life.
its just so difficult to think that i wont be
seeing their faces daily anymore.

i dont know what it is, but im just missing my high school experience.

its just so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

casual then serious.

im getting married! hahaha NOT!
but my sister is and its getting even more intense.
kimmie and i did the cd giveaways and finally finished.
woo! the invitations were sent out today! and the day
keeps getting closer and closer. marriage has become a big
topic that i happen to come across.

maybe its because i love the show TORI & DEAN : HOME SWEET HOLLYWOOD.

and this show is all about their marriage.
i have no reason why i love it, but i do. i like tori spelling.
shes a cutie and her whole family is too.

i also find myself watching platinum weddings
and briezilla.
hahaha okay, so having nothing to do
over summer has made me a couch potato who
watches other peoples lives. i dont know what it is,
but weddings are happy times and i guess thats why i watch
them, they make me happy.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

okay, so enough with the marriage talk. time to talk about me, again. lol.

i dont know what it is, but my moods are so off. one moment
im really happy with everyone and everything. the other second when i have
a chance to think, i get into this melancholy mood. i dont know
what it is, but thinking about my life troubles me. whats going
to happen next. will i get married? is life gonna be good for me
when i get older? these questions trouble me to the extent that i no longer
want to grow older. i feel that staying where i am now is a safe place.
the risk of growing older and not knowing whats next makes me confused.
the future is a big and scary place i dont want to face. but all i need
is that leap of faith and im there. but for now, i think im good
on staying on the safe side. maybe ill meet the person who will push me
past the limit. or maybe i've already meet them. i guess only
time can tell. but wait, is that time now, or never?

just one of those ordinary days.

yesterday(july 17):

ok so i've been pondering about what to do on my 18th birthday.
i feel like actually doing something, like forreal.
hmmm, what to do? laser tag? just chill and shop
and watch movies (so 16th birthday)? or whaaaat.

well for sure im gonna do something during the day.
tracey, sam and i are gonna go college shopping.
but im thinking why not bring along more
cuties. the more the merrier right?

well i dont know what to do? any suggestions?

anyway so my day was quite BORING i woke up did my
tv business, fixed up and went to target and big lots.
i bought sweet tea =] asb camp status and pretty much
did nothing else.

but ive been thinking what i want for my birthday
nd money!!! =] is the first thing that comes to mind.
but i also want other things. i like feeling special on my birthday
therefore i like big things like: balloon bouquets, birthday pins that say
its my birthday or birthday boy, pinatas, i never got one.
like i like stuff that makes me feel special.
but i would love money as a gift or anything for college
or clothes, or yeah. i want alot of expensive things too
like ugg boots and ugg mocassin tpye things called byron.
i want alot but ask me and ill tell you.

bye

summer days.

btw, even though the date is july 16, its all about what
happened on july 15. anyway, yeah.

ok its definitely that part of summer when i just am too lazy to do anything.
therefore, i did nothing. lol. i swear i woke up today at like 9AM. i had 5 hours of sleep
and yet i functioned perfectly, except the lazy part. anyway i watched my FAVORITE
shows on soapnet, the O.C & one tree hill. then i had to "clean." there are moments
when my mom gets mad and tells me to clean and do all this other stuff around
my house and therefore i "cleaned." which to me means, hide the mess!


but after that i had to go to NOHO train station like i've been doing random days
to pick up my mom and take her home. so the car ride was totally wierd because i
had no gas and managed to make it to the train station and to my house with like
the gas light thing on. anywhoo, i got home and then left for the airport to see my aunt
(who got back from the PI)
and get the wedding invitations from her for my sisters wedding.


but while i was at the airport i was conversating with oh so cute joanne.
we talked about how she is gonna be MISS UNIVERSE one day.
anyway, my day was uneventful
but i love you for reading this.
thanks and bye.
& if there are spelling mistakes, deal with it. =]

JESUS is my homeboy.

ok, so the title has nothing to do with this entry. lol.
the last time i did this thing i totally forgot
to mention we got a NEW puppy. shes 2 months old.
meeet BELLA, she is a chihuahua and a shih tzu. cute, right?















anyway wow its only JULY 15th and my brain hurts
from hearing about MSMC .well, im exaggerating.
but all i hear is "you better work hard"
or " if you fail, you're out". ok, its summer for one thing.
and another thing, i already know that!
i understand its crucial for me to do well in college especially
on that effin MOUNTAIN. grrrooooossssss.
it doesnt help hearing how hard its going to
be my freshmen year at the mount. it just a big
thing on my mind and it wont go away. as sad as it sounds
i cant even sleep most nights thinking ahead on whats
up next for me. all that work overwhelms me...
but on the bright side its always fun
to know i have friends and family( like kim) to help take my mind
off of all that bull.

conversations with sam and ceejay right now are helping me
not think about this caca. but yeah, one thing im excited for
is my new dorm and all that fun stuff. shopping for college is
way more fun to think about then actually learning in college,
lol.

so 10 days till my birthday. its my aunts 40 days mass that day...
on my birthday. and therefore my birthday will not be celebrated at all.
no party no fun. not that im mad and may she RIP, but im just dissappointed.
i always thought turning 18 was a big deal. but i guess it isnt,
its just another birthday. but i guess i shouldnt complain.
but one thing that made me smile today, concerning my birthday
was seeing this on tommys myspace blog:
"also celebrating these July birthdays:
Christine J. Gonda
Christine Vasquez
Tracey Carlos
Carissa Cruz
Aubrie Lorrimer
David Campos
Marc Evangelista"

ok its lame- i know, but it makes me happy to know
that people know it is my birthday. lol. im wierd.
judge me if you want, but little things like
that can make my day. ok now i sound stupid and petty.
enough with that, thanks btw. for listening to me ramble this much.
i think i have more to go.

theres been so much going through my mind lately.
school, money, my sisters wedding in oct, my life, people. there are so many times
that i just feel like giving up. sometimes its too much to handle.
but then i also realize that im not the only one in this world with problems.
some people have even bigger issues. so this is a way for me to vent
without making it seem like everyone should have their eyes
on me. i pray to JESUS that everyones problems go away, but
that is unlikely. but if you ever need anyone to vent to, im here.
and yes im talking to you. we all have problems, so if u have one
tell me. and i might just tell you the rest of mine, lol.
love you and good night. thanks for listening.

& guess what my title did have something to do with my entry
" i pray to JESUS" he is my homeboy. =]

lets begin.

ok so as stalker as i can be,
i came across tracey carlos'
blog and found claudettes
and nikki's and ceejay's
so i realized that i need one too.

not that my life is full of excitment.
its just fun to talk, to myself..?!
well, if someone is reading this
im talking to you, so thanks
for listening.

and btw, i usually type in these
little paragraphs because i dont
like typing so long on a line
because it ends up looking like this and then people have to scroll it and its just so annoying to me.
but if you do it...
no worries.

well i guess ill start off by explaining
what happened today. i totally woke up
all gross, of course turned on the tv
but i didnt even watch my fav shows
oc and oth on soapnet. i know
im wierd, but i love those shows.
well anyway, eric came over and thats
why i couldnt watch them.
but thanks to eric my new laptop is
working wireless. wooo, what a miracle worker.
anyway, i took the longest "nap" from 6pm-12am
and thats why im still awake
doing this blog.

i ramble alot a lil bit.
& im getting into that mode of summer
where i totally miss my friends.
just the thoughts of being away
from them makes me realize that
nothing lasts forever.
but good thing we have the memories.
so thanks for the memories, guys.
i love you.
