Random Encounters

So this week has been a little weird. I've been studying all week but my study breaks have been quite random.

First, I got a phone call from an attorney who I met at a banquet and he wanted to grab lunch. Me, being the naive law student eager to have any networking opportunity possible eagerly said yes. To my surprise, business was not the main reason he wanted to have lunch. The guy has kids and a wife. Nough said, not sailing on that boat.

Second, I got a call from a Judge who I received a scholarship from last summer. His assistant called me and said he wants to have lunch to touch base and see how my law school life is going and what opportunities I've taken. Can you say AWESOME! A one on one lunch with a judge! Now that is a lunch I'm excited to attend. I am eager to pick at his brain and see what life choices got him to where he is in life. Not only that but I find it so fascinating that everyone in the legal world starts off in the same playing field and that means nothing is impossible.

Finally yesterday I watched Lifetime's movie on William and Kate. MADE ME CRY! Their college romance was so cute and can I just say... I WANT TO BE A PRINCESS! lol

Can you say Awesome!

5 course meal sans the soup but drumroll pleaseeeee it was freeeeee! Gracias to Jrose and her awesome chef of a brother. :) congrats future doctor JRose! (pictures taken by merv, Sad I forgot my camera)

Griffith Observatory

Finally got to see the Griffith Observatory!! After months of wanting to visit this LA site I finally got to see it!! The view was spectacular and the planetarium show was so cool! The place was smaller than I had thought it would be but amazing nonetheless!

The Little Things..

I guess you don't really know what you're missing till you can't have it everyday. Long distance sucks when you can't do all the little things when you want. Watch a movie, be lazy all day, study together, or just hold hands.

Turning Tables

Close enough to start a war
All that I have is on the floor
God only knows what we're fighting for
All that I say, you always say more

I can't keep up with your turning tables
Under your thumb, I can't breathe

So, I won't let you close enough to hurt me
No, I won't rescue you, you to just desert me
I cant give you, what you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables
To turning tables

Under haunted skies I see you
Where love is lost, your ghost is found
I braved a hundred storms to leave you
As hard as you try, no I will never be knocked down

I can't keep up with your turning tables
Under your thumb, I can't breathe

So, I won't let you close enough to hurt me, no
I won't rescue you, you to just desert me
I cant give you, what you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables
Turning tables

Next time I'll be braver
I'll be my own savior
When the thunder calls for me
Next time I'll be braver
I'll be my own savior
Standing on my own two feet

I won't let you close enough to hurt me, no
I won't rescue you, you to just desert me
I cant give you, what you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables
To turning tables
Turning tables, yeah
Turning, oh

Refocus

Why do I worry so much? I worry to the point where I can't sleep or focus. I don't know why I am always expecting the worse when things aren't really that bad. I get this knot in my stomach and my heart starts pounding till the worry consumes me. Is it really worth it? I have to focus on school and I can't focus if I'm sleep deprived because I'm worrying about things that could have obviously been avoided. I think I just need to take a step back and refocus.

College Sweethearts

There is never a dull moment when I'm reunited with my College Sweethearts. The girls and I decided to do a mini getaway to San Diego. It was exactly what I needed before finals. One last wild weekend before I sulk away in finals mode.

First on the list was Pacific Beach! We grabbed drinks at the local bars and to our luck it was happy hour! Margaritas and tequilla shots on this very hot day?! YES PLEASE! After drinks, we walked down to the beach. Felt so good to get a little tan and to talk a little gossip with my sisters.

Onward to dance the night away! We decided to get our party on at Club Envy in downtown. We cabbed it and got into the club for free with no line, exactly how girls should be treated ;)

Can't wait till we're all reunited again!

Superficial?

So true, Sometimes I wonder if it's just a superficial happy:

Imperfect

And The Celebration Continues!

Happy 27th Birthday to my awesome cousin VJ! On the serio though, my cousins are so awesome. It never fails to be such a great time when I'm with them. There is nothing better than knowing that your family are also your best friends. No matter what obstacles get in the way, nothing can break the bond between family.






I couldn't be happier with life right now. I have my best friends, my family, my love, and I absolutely love my career. Cheers to good times!

Happy Birthday Ryan!

Dear Ryan,

Happy 34th Birthday! It's been so many years since your passing but everyday I use your memory to push me forward. This is going to be your first birthday with Nanay in heaven and I hope you both celebrate to the fullest. As I was changing this morning, I felt someone whisper in my ear, and I think it was you. I'm sorry I forgot your birthday when I woke up, there is no excuse. But thank you to you or Nanay for reminding me. As always it was great visiting you and Nanay at the cemetery this morning, but I miss you guys a lot. I wish both of you could be here with me as I grow old, making memories, and watching our family grow. Whether or not you know it, you and Nanay will always be my inspirations. So on your birthday Ryan, your family on earth wishes you eternal happiness in heaven and we are constantly thinking about you. You will forever be in our hearts. Love you bro.

Love Always your little sister,

To Leap or Not to Leap

I hate that anxious feeling you get when you care about someone. I don't even know what you call the feeling but all I know is that I hate it. I hate that worrying feeling that worrying over nothing feeling. I don't understand it. I don't understand why I get so anxious. I think this is why I tried to avoid this whole situation. I have come to the conclusion that I am just no good at this. It's weird I am seriously great at anything someone throws at me, but put my heart in the mix I am like a blind bat. I am not a risk taker, aside from my spur of the moment skydiving and cliff jumping, I hate taking risks. I am so scared that I am going to get screwed over somehow. And what sucks is that every time I get this way I find myself trying to distance myself so I don't care so much. If my heart had a name I'd name her Wimp. To take a leap or not to take a leap that is the question.
