Where Is the Passion?

          So me and my roommates have this thing where sometimes we like finding ridiculous movies on Netflix and watching them. As we searched for something to watch one night, we came across the movie Music From Another Room. On Netflix it wasn't quite 3 stars...yet IMDB gives it 6.5....I say trust netflix ;). But, the awkwardness of the movie was actually quite great, so if you do love awkward movies than it is probably a 6.5 in your mind. But aside the fact that it was ridiculous and weird, .me being the philosophical person I am, was able to look past the awkwardness/ridiculousness of the movie and see the  great theme- passions. I started pondering:  "what are my passions" and yea I maybe freaked out a little bit thinking I didn't have any...of course that is ridiculous. I decided to come up with a list of my passions and my roommates even suggested we participate in one of our passions a day....This list includes things I get anxious/excited over or sad if they are not in my life...addictions/passions same thing right?

Cravings

Day 4: Something I crave

Okay so when I saw what day four was I started thinking of things I craved, both food and non food. So I will share with you my non food craving and my food craving. But do not judge my non food craving because it is kinda cliche, what can I say I am a girl and everyone loves cliche things, which is why they are so cliche right?! Here we go

Non-food Craving: True Deep Love, okay I know what you are thinking, but honestly I can't wait for the time in my life when I find that love where I am just so happy and want to tell the whole world..it will be great. Umm yep that's all I got to back up my True Deep Love Craving :).... here let this picture inspire you

Yes, this is Rhianna

Food Craving: French Fries...Yes, I am American I love them SO much, I also just love carbs and dipping them in sauce...but it has to be fry sauce because I hate ketchup! Beer battered fries are the best..maybe i just crave beer....Whenever I go out to eat I always make sure whatever i am ordering comes with fries, even if the main part of the meal doesn't sound that appealing I know the fries will be divine...and you ask why i don't just order fries..it's fine. . 

You can't look at these and not want some!

So there ya go, these are my cravings. Now you know more about me without even having to talk to me...don't you love the new age of technology.... :).

Leap Into A New Life

This is going in the books as best leap year activity ever!

Tomorrow Is February 29th....and how often does that day come around?! Leap Year gives us an extra day in the year! So what are we/you going to do with that extra day, act like it's a normal day...I sure hope not. I mean think about it, we are given an extra day... how many papers were you asked to write in high school on topics such as "what would you do if you were given an extra day in the year". Well here is our chance...let's not let it slip by.

 My thoughts:

 First I wanted to pretend the day didn't exist and skip my "responsibilities" aka class...but as I further thought about this idea, I realized I have an assignment due in one class and a test in another...So that idea was out, because well I am becoming more mature these days. 

Second: Try something new, something I have never done before, but have always wanted to do....but what is this thing exactly..I have less than 24 hours to figure it out.

Third: Come up with some sort of activity or tradition that I can do on leap day and leap day only, It's kind of a fun idea (of course it is...because I came up with it.)...but like the second idea...what will my once every four year tradition be?

What will you do on February 29th- Leap Day? Whatever you end up doing I hope you embrace it. Share your ideas of fun exciting things to do on Leap Day.

Memories That Last

Day 3 Favorite Picture:

Okay so maybe more like blogging once a month is a reasonable goal for me, since well the whole twice a week thing def failed. I have this great idea to share my New Years resolutions on here... but that will have to be saved for the next post because I am tired and I just wanted make a quick post. So here is my favorite Picture at this time:

New Years and Work friends... truly BEST night EVER 2012!!

LOVE my "family" and Disneyland

Yea.... I fail at choosing just one favorite...so here are two of my favorite pictures at the moment. The first one is with my work friends: Meish, Vanessa, and Jordan; they bring me much happiness so the picture makes my heart happy!
The second picture is with my "family" on our last Disneyland trip...we are just so cute and it reminds me of all the great times I had with them...especially my cute funny little sisters.

Happy 2012! Let us make memories that will last this year and give us many new favorite pictures. Be Happy and Leave No Room For Regret.

Moving Along

Challenge Day 2: Picture of me last year and Now...how have I changed.


So as you can see I really rock at this blogging thing...opps but listen i am still working on it, and here i am today sharing.

Me 1 year ago.

Me Now

 

 

 

So what's Changed?

• Well Physically i went on accutane...and my skin has gotten ALOT better...even all my friends at work noticed. 

• Last year I went to WV and Florida for Christmas break with Amy and Her Family. Now: I am working at JSMB and at home...we went to Disneyland about a month ago.
  

• This time last year JB's "Never Say Never" movie trailer was released and i was so excited...Now:who knew it would help me convert the haters to lovers...and make me more of an advocate of him. 

• Last Year: Austin's last Christmas home before the mission. Now: He is in Panama serving.

•  Last Year: Lived at the Branbury.....yikes. Now: I live in an awesome apartment Summerlyn with amazing roommates (Mayu, Kari, and Rachel.)
  

• Now: Aleisha, Vanessa, Nakana, and I have all become close friends...thanks to work. 

• Now: I am so close to Graduating. 

•  Last Year: I had no idea what Bibingka was. Now: i probably love it. 

• Last Year: I had never slept with a stuffed animal before. Now: I sleep with lil' JJ almost ever night...even though he ends up on the floor every morning..it still counts right?

• Last Year: i was 22. Now 23...which is much better well cuz it's an odd number!

• Last Year: I hated getting my blood drawn, and had to have someone go with me. Now: after, 8 months of being on accutane i have mastered the art of going alone...i still hate it thought. 

• Last Year: knew like one song on the guitar. Now: I have now learned like 2 songs on the guitar..do i remember them no...so here is to actually learning how to play this year!!! 
  

Umm yep that's about all I can think of right now. When I reflect over my past year, I have no real complaints, I am very blessed. My spring and summer were so great, work/internship and just playing with friends. Fall was awesome moved into a new apartment with new roommates, become cultured by their music, met new friends and a boy (but of course that didn't last long)...but that's nothing new, welcome to my life, studied more Spanish, oh and let's not forget the awesome JIMMER experience of last year :) . Oh and let's not forget seeing Tay Swift in concert, and Justin Beiber coming out with his first Christmas album!! Merry Christmas Everyone!

Always remember:

"To be happy and to avoid misery, we must have a grateful heart." - Pres Eyring

As we go into this new year and even reflect on our past year, let us have a grateful heart and we will find true happiness.

Just When You Thought You Knew Me

Only 2 more weeks of School...AHHH i kinda freak out a lot, so naturally instead of working on school work i blog, because it's funner (which i just learned is in the dictionary, so all you english people that cringe it's fine:) ).
So to continue with my goal of blogging twice a week i will share Day 1:

5 things people don't really know about me

1. I hate using knives while eating, it just takes time and I would just love if only using forks and our fingers could be proper etiquette.

2. I really really really hate spending money on anything, but I LOVE new things and shopping...don't ask how it all works out. I have constant battles with my self in stores on weather i should buy something especially when it's something I am going to be needed I try to hold off on buying it as long as I can.

3.I Love Having my back scratched. This is all thanks to my dad, when i was younger my dad would make the rounds to each kids room at night and scratch our backs while he talked to us. I love how relaxing it is and i just love it. 

4. I think even numbers are gross. Odd numbers sound prettier and look prettier to me. In card games, if we have the choice I deal out an odd number of cards to everyone, my favorite number is 333 (it's just lucky) and I wish i could stay 23 forever or at least skip 24 eww. Odd numbers are just better.

5. I HAVE to be wearing earrings when I am in public. I wear earrings when i swim, when i run, they are an essential part of what I wear everyday. I feel like I look like a boy if i don't have studs or any sort of earring in. The only time i am not wearing earrings is when i am sleeping.
