Life Update 02.18.2020

So, I’ve been MIA for a year. Honestly, I have posts saved but I haven’t finished writing them. 2019 has been a whirlwind of events.

First and foremost, I graduated college!
I still will like to continue my education, but not at the moment. I finished school with an Associate of Arts, specializing in English. I want to get my Bachelor’s but first, I have to upgrade my math skills to get into my desired university. Eventually, I want to be able to go to either Stanford or UC Berkeley. That’s a story for another time...when it actually happens! HAHAHA

Second, I have been slowly pursuing the things I love. I was part of the Evergreen Cultural Centre’s performance of Cinderellas. I was so surprised when I was casted as one of the Cinderellas.
It was most definitely an amazing experience. I was expecting to be a part of the ensemble and not even get any speaking roles. I just wanted to get a feel of the theatre but who would have thought I will get two lead roles. It was stressful because it was the first time I’ve done something like this and it was exhilarating.
I learned how to control my nerves before going on stage and used that energy to push me through the performance. It was nerve wracking because I had a hard time acting and reciting even when it’s an empty theatre. For someone who likes to talk, I’m a really shy person so this was a BIG step out of my comfort zone.
I’m still behind on my reading list (shocker...). I still have about five books on my shelf that I need to read. So hopefully, I get to finish them all this year. I also started to write again! It’s not much but it’s a start. It really does take me awhile to get on with it.
Anyways, that’s about all the updates in my life. I’m still single. I’m still learning. I’m still confused about life. BUT I’m content and happy about where I am at the moment. I hope you all have a fantastic 2020!

We Come In Three

  Santa Monica, California It’s not every day that we are all together with all of us living in different cities and countries. So my cousins and I planned to have an early breakfast at a local diner on a Friday morning.   The problem with that plan was only one of the three was awake and ready to go.   But according to my second cousin, Bubbs, the best way to wake a person up was to play obnoxiously loud music from his bedroom.    But Bones and I were sleeping in the living room, and we slept through his idea of an alarm.   So our plan of having an early breakfast did not go through; instead we had brunch.   To be fair, that’s more realistic for us than waking up early in the morning.             Brunch at Manhattan Beach was a moment that can easily be remembered.   We arrived at a restaurant called Hennessey’s Tavern, an Irish pub just located on Manhattan Beach Boulevard. ...

More Than A Condition

Strength. A person can be physically, emotionally or spiritually strong.  Sometimes it can be all three.  But what makes a person strong? For me, it's being able to push through even when faced with so many obstacles in life.  One person in my life that taught me that there's more to live for is my aunt.  Since she didn't want me using her real name, let's name her Marichelle.  So from the beginning my Aunt Marichelle had her struggles. I didn't know about them because she lived her life with a smile on her face.  She finished school then worked.  She traveled and hung out with her friends.   She was living the life. But not every thing we see looks like sunshine or rainbows.  I didn't know that she was going through a lot of pain emotionally and mentally. I was in high school when I learned about her depression. Before I learned what depression actually was, I just thought it was when someone is "really sad."  I didn't know t...
