Bored...

So... as you know I'm on vacation from school for the summer, yay :-( I'VE BEEN BORED OUTTA MY MIND!!!! I have offered my services to the local hospital to help out in the lab but I haven't been able to start and now I am hearing there might not be a space for me. WHEN DID PEOPLE START TURNING DOWN FREE LABOR!!! So here I am... bored to tears. My only source of joy so far have been a few good novels and my friends, who by the way I only talk to online!!! Whoever said 'I love my computer cuz my friends live in it' must have had a life like mine. I knew this summer wasn't going to be the 'bombdiggidy' but I didn't think it'd be this bad.

I need something to do before I completely lose my mind.

He is marvelous!!!!

This weekend was really really fun! I went to see my family.. LOL. Actually I went to the zoo. There were so many really cool animals. All different sizes, shapes and colors. The birds had the prettiest colors. The Tucan (fruit loops bird :-D ) had such beautiful colors on its beak, it had the such a human like personality too. There were so many different types of monkeys, and a VERY wide variety of small mammals. There was so much proof of God's existence. I didnt even see everything they had and of course they dont have every creature ever made!!! That experience would make it harder for me to believe that there isn't a God. HE is so marvelous. So talented and creative!!! The animals were the most wonderful and incredible creatures I have ever seen. To God be all the glory!!!

SCHOOL'S OUT!!!

Whew... SCHOOL'S OUT!!!!!

I am soooo happy schools out. No more studying for at least another 3 months!!! This school year was kinda cool though. First of all I was thrown into what I called a school for nerds at first, and as my dear friend Rita predicted I FIT RIGHT IN!!! LOL... well not really. But I have to admitted I enjoyed being around all the smart people, especially when I knew what they were talking about. And the interesting thing about these nerds is they were actually pretty cool. LOL.

I met some real interesting people too, like Dr.Brown, the most awesome chem teacher ever!!! Loved Sue Bard as well, she's so sweet and funny. And of course there's my chem study buddies, Pipan who always brought us food... gotta love her!!! Jay who is super smart and cool, and last but DEFINITELY not least my 'new best friend' (he doesn't know this) Homan, he's a super genius with the coolest personality, crazy as hell too... I can safely say I've never met anyone like him.

So all in all this year was great!!!

I never thought this would be so cool since I was and still is missing my BFF. I miss our crazy convos about hypothetical people and things, our runs to Mickey D's, our wknds at the beach, our trips to our favourite places ZUZU's and Walmart!!! I was also missing my job and McDreamy... ahhhhhhhh... but this works!!!

GOD IS REAL!!!

I've met alot of people in recent months that do not believe in God. Some believe there is a greater power but they don't feel the need to worship. Others believe there is a God but resent organized religion. These facts are very disturbing to me because I can't imagine living without my God, and my religion. I can't refuse God. There is so much He has done for me. Even though I can't see Him or touch Him I believe He is real. As a Christian I have learned to WALK BY FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT.

The song 'What If' by Nicole Nordeman explores the possiblity of there NOT being a God. She says

What if you pick apart the logic

And begin to poke the holes

What if the crown of thorns is no more

Than folklore that must be told and retold

But what if you're wrong?

What if there's more?

What if there's hope you never dreamed of hoping for?

(I've cut out some of my favorite lines.)

My question to the unbelievers is WHAT IF YOU ARE WRONG?

How can you not believe God is Real?

India Arie asks this question in her song, 'God is Real'. She then gives numerous examples as to why she knows God is real. How can someone deny there is a God after noting all these things? Here's the India Arie song...

God is Real !!!

The sweetest honey to the brightest flower

The largest planet to the smallest atom

Snowflakes and the bird kingdom

Smaller thatn the eye can see bigger then the mind can conceive

Heard a man on the radio today

(Spoken)

I mean I'm not going to believe in anything that I can't see and I've been through a lot of hardships in my life ya know ya know in my life

Must confess I disagreed with what he had to say

How he could he not believe that God is real

I don't understand howHe could feel that way

When there's earth, air, water, and fire

So many different flowers

Sunshine and rain showers

So many different crystals

And hills and volcanoes

Chorus

That's how I know that God is real

All of this is not by chance

That's how I know that God is real

All of this is not by chance

That's how I know that God is real

I know this is not by chance

That's how I know that God is real

That's how I know that God is real

In St. Lucia I jumped in the water

(Spoken)

It was like I was seeing it for the first time.

It literally changed my life.

For the first time I understood its power

As I swam I was cleansed

If I had any doubts

This experience cleared them

Now I know for sure that GOd is real

I know that it's the truth

By the way it feels

Cause I saw starfish and sponges

Fish shaped like trumpets

So many different colors

I stayed out there for hours

and I only saw a fraction of a fraction

of the deepest of the deep

of the great blue wide

It brought a tear to my eye

We're made of the same stuff

As the moon and the stars

The oceans saltwater just like my tears are

You feel me

The sunrises and sets everyday without fail

DAY 26 ROCKS!!!

In the past couple weeks yours truly has become a 'groupie' not that that is a good thing but confession is good for the soul. I LOVE DAY 26!!! Their album is 'totally awesome'. I haven't listened to anything but Day 26 in a week!!! No India Arie, No Heather Headley, No Tamia, No Lupe Fiasco... NO MARIAH CAREY!!! This obsession with Day 26 is getting out of hand!!! The guys in the band are so hottttt!!! I would take either Que, Robert or Mike for myself. Willie and Brian I would give away though. But I still love them cuz their vocals are great!!! These guys are so gonna give Boys II Men a run for their money. Their songs are very sexy... and Nahja loves sexy :-D

GO OUT AND GET THEIR ALBUM!!!

To my Rita... Best Friends Forever!!!

I miss my Rita!!!

I miss our evenings in the library. I miss the Mickey D's run in the evenings when we should be at work. I miss your analytical lectures on my crazy life. I miss going to the pier and Zuzu's. I miss fighting over the radio.

I wish you were here.

I wish you were here so I could tell you all about him.( I need to know what you think). I wish you were here so we could hang out and tell each other crazy stories, make up new words, and laugh til we start crying.

Just so you know...

You are the MOST wonderful friend EVER!!! You are always there for me when I need you the most. You always know the right things to say to cheer me up. You were always there to play the perfect song to comfort me in every situation.

There is no one as awesome as you!!!

Thanks for everything.

Love u lots!!! Miss u!!!

For You I Will

He says I treat him better than I treat myself. WOW!!! That is scary. I know I treat him better than I treat a lot of other people. But so what!!! OK... this is serious. I love him sooooooooo much. I don't even think about it, I automatically want to please him, although there are still things I wouldn't do, but I've done way more than I've do for anyone other guy. I can't help but admire him. He's so awesome.



So babe... this is for you....

That thing you do

I don't know what it is

But it's that thing you do

That made me fall in love with you.

Maybe it's the way you walk

Maybe it's the way you talk

It's that thing you do

That makes my stomach do flips

And my lips break into a smile

Maybe it's the way you look at me

Maybe it's the way you touch me

It's that thing you do

That makes me want to please you

Every little thing you do

Thats what makes me love you.

Nahjaj
