A Miracle

It had everything to do with God’s mercy and nothing to do with any self-control or virtue on my part

Unexpected

You never know where life can take you, whether it be on the other side of this world, but all I do know is that I’m grateful for what I’ve been blessed with. From all my past experiences to now, I can’t wait to see what the future holds.

“Textures of this World”

During our journey of walking the different Textures of this World we meet people who are and are not walking the same pathway, but we also learn that no matter what pathway they are walking, every person adds a Texture of this World.

Focusing on the Light

Sometimes something so simple as Focusing On The Light can be so hard to do because of the countless distractions in our life. This is why we also need others to keep us on track and Focus on the Light with us.

I Love You Every Step You Take

Sometimes we wonder if I go here or there, would we still have that same support or love behind us? Imagine not worrying about this unsure love, but knowing there is a love that loves us every step we take. That is God’s Love.

Just...

Life is just…
So many words could explain this, but yet words aren’t even created for this. How many of you feel like that?

Countless times I feel like that as well. It’s pretty interesting where life can take you regardless of the situations that come your way. Sometimes people compare their lifestyle to others where they may see the other person may have it easier or harder than them self. This gives a person a perception of how they’re doing for their own lifestyle. Whether if they judge or not, there is some that don’t care what others think. They just life their life and see what they can do with it in order to move. Sounds pretty simple if you ask me.

At the end of the day, we all know that life ain’t easy. Life didn’t come with an instruction book or guidelines to teach us “How To…” do anything. We go through our own trials and tribulations and of course there’s people around us that could help guide us through situations in life. It’s there for the taking, right? Sometimes we don’t bother taking it cause pride kicks in and we think we know better than the person around us regardless if they had only good intentions for us. Pretty strange how we treat people, huh?

So many times we go through things and we can learn from trial and error. Nothing is wrong with that and during these moments thee are people in our life that are just there to be there and stand with you to encourage you in whatever we may be doing. Sometimes that is all we need, but we’re too busy notice that and push that aside when all we really needed was right there I front of us.

Maybe it’s time to take a step back to see the entire picture rather than focus on one area to see what we are really missing for this masterpiece that we call life. Something so simple of doing can change the whole ball game and either turn our life upside down or right side up. Pretty much a choice we have to make, don’t you think?

Beyond What Feels Good, Back To What Is Good

What I learned is that change can’t happen unless you’re willing to start. I would find myself moments like these just sitting and hoping for change to happen in my life when a I have to do is make a choice. My past has been a roller coaster of ups and downs in my life, based on the choices I made in life. The choices I make will determine change. As for this upcoming season in life, I am surrounded by light (people) who I know can help me through this journey. Choice can represent change, so like I said earlier.

Beyond What Feels Good, Back To What Is Good.

“Footsteps of Guidance”

I believe there are times where we feel that we are walking on the perfect path and nothing can separate us from it, without realizing that what is with us in our path is actually holding us back more than helping us to move forward. These kind of things affect other areas in our life, even the people around us… Seems to be not so perfect after all – and in order to get what is perfect, we must let go of what we currently have.

But how could something so perfect be so damaging to ones life? Is there really anything out there that could be more perfect?

This is the point where you have to make a choice to let go and allow Faith to guide you through the circumstance. Therefore, I want to tell you, thank you, but I’m sorry i’m choosing to walk away and follow the “Footsteps of Guidance” through this journey.

First Friday Experience

Last night I went to First Friday's in town.  It was an interesting experience knowing that I used to do this in my beginning years of college.  I never realized how much the whole even and club scene changed.  I remember back in the day, First Fridays' events never existed.  I would go to clubs like NoBless, Xylohs, Olounge and so on.  A lot of these clubs either closed down or had a name change due to legal situations.  I must say a lot has changed including how rowdy these new places can get.  Overall, it was a good experience what the night life has become.

April Fool's Day

April 1st...April 1st... April Fool's Day....  Today is known for the day of coming up with jokes and pranks.  Many times we do it to our friends or family members and possibly even coworkers.  Honestly,  I don't know the reasoning or origin of why this day or act exists for this specific day.  Unless I do know about it and just forgot why it is.

It's crazy how sometimes jokes and pranks can start of as fun and laughs until it crosses the line.  I believe sometimes people take it to far or possibly play games they can't handle.  When people play games they can't handle, it slightly ticks me off because I don't understand how someone can tease someone with a joke, but when it's their turn to get teased, they can't handle it and try to escalate it with some type of drama.  Sorry about the slight rant, but hopefully everyone has a great April Fool's Day.

Last Week Sunday

Last week sunday was my dad's birthday.  I must say times has changed from when I wouldn't buy anything for my dad on his birthday.  For a few years now, I have been buying him gifts for every birthday.  It would be nothing to expensive, but something simple that he could use on the daily basis.  I guess it also comes in time that I am more financially stable than previous years.

Spring Break

So as of right now, Spring Break is done.  I believe many people our still on Spring Break mode because when I came to UH of Manoa parking lot, it was really empty.  Maybe people are still recovering from Spring Break shenanigans.  I think it is pretty epic to see the change from when I was a bit younger, I used to do the same like miss the day before a break or miss the first day after the break because I would switch off my school mode.  This was my lifestyle when I first joined college, so with all honestly, I don't blame these students for doing that.  I know I'm a bit older now and a nontraditional student, so therefore, its been a good amount of years when I used to be obessed with Spring break shenanigans.

Inventory

So recently or should I say Sunday night, I had inventory for the retail store I worked at.  Usually, I prepare myself for working about 6 hours because normally it takes that long.  As we were doing inventory, we noticed that our team kept up and was over prepared to the company that came in who would scan every single item in the store.  It seemed like a pretty chill night, but afterawhile we started to get impatient and irritated because the scanning team assigned to our store took forever to scan all these items.  From 6 hours it became 9 hours and I was pretty furious that it took that long.  Our store is the smallest compare to the other Zumiez stores on the island who also had inventory the same night.  The fact is that I got mad because we took double the amount of time all the other stores did and it was like 7 am in the morning and I definitely wasn't going to make it to my classes on Monday.   Before I could careless about going to school, but I would have to say within this past year I've been on it with going to class and applying what I learn in classes to outside of life.  This is pretty much a rant post, so I apologize for that.  Other than that I was proud of my staff for working hard and being on top of things.

Times Have Changed

So it's interesting that I have a blog.  It's been awhile since I had a blog.  If I'm not mistaken, the last time I had blogs was tumblr and before that was xanga.  I believe I was most active on xanga.  But overall I think it's interesting how times have changed and there is so much social media to express yourself.  I remember back then, there wasn't much as there is now.  I think with technology evolving and society adapting to the digital world, its going to change even more.  This should be an interesting journey to see when the world adapts to future technologies.

1st blog

I don't really blog as much as I used to.  So this is something I haven't done for many years.  I look forward to see what blogging has to offer this semester.
Other than that, I miss dancing.  I feel like I've been itching to step into a dance studio again, but we shall see what time I have for this to happen.  So in other words, let time see what it beholds.
