The Fabulous Me Movement
So after watching NothinbutTreble talk about her Healthy in 2009 Movement, I am inspired to start my own!! I'm calling it [The Fabulous Me Movement]!! Finishing Winter Quarter, I feel ready for a change. I think that something different is in order. I want so much from myself and I have yet to do anything about it. But that must change. I want my body to look a certain way but I haven't been working out like I'm supposed to. I want to have better relationship with God and I haven't been engaging with him through continuous prayers or going to church.
I just haven't been keeping up with the things that I want in my life. Today that changes and it feels great!
I'm feeling really optimistic these days!
[I'm H.A.P.P.Y] =)

Truth desires Truth
---Truth desires Truth
I just want to press the snooze button
Pausing the moments that we shared
Reveling in the stolen glances and kisses
Cherishing the little space that lay between our bodies and your sky blue bed sheets
But the snooze button only allows so much solace
Before my thoughts are rudely interrupted by the blaring music
As my thoughts travel between the music of the morning
I am reminded that although the moments we shared were fleeting
They made a lasting impression
I had given myself permission to not only live in the moment but to also think beyond what was right in front of me
I could see longs nights in your arms
I could see us discussing world news
As your girlfriend
Or as your friend
I was up for anything
However I was not ready to have my feelings tossed to the wayside
I was unprepared
My guard was down
I was open
I was infuriated
I was sad
I wanted to torch your apartment and talk to you all at the same time
How can one person experience conflicting emotions all in the same instant?
Somehow I was there
Living in the moment
Marinating with my feelings
I had gotten past my anger and frustration
And planted my feet firmly in sadness
I stayed there for as long as I could
Repairing the humiliation
Remedying the embarrassment
Once again I would have to tell eager friends about another guy who I placed feelings upon haphazardly
Seeing the same reaction from each of them
They too were saddened about what may have been
I couldn’t take sadness any longer
I was through with half smiles
A few conversations and a couple of double stuff Oreos later
I found myself in the land of bitterness
Reacting with snide remarks as I watched couples hand in hand walk down the street
Skipping to the beat of their love
Once again I was two emotions
I was nauseated by all of the closeness and jealous because I wanted it
I wanted something that I was hoping you would offer me
Or maybe even give me
Nonetheless I allowed my brain to journey down that path with you
I reassured myself when scenes of our relationship danced before my eyes
That these thoughts were safe within the confines of my brain
Constantly reminding myself that I was game for anything
If it meant more time with you
I was okay if down the line you did not become my boyfriend
My thoughts comforted me at night letting me fall asleep wrapped in the security of our so called friendship
But my thoughts failed to show when they betrayed me
Whether we were going to be friends or more than that I will never know
Because my feelings were unceremoniously taken away from me
You snatched the possibility of something from beneath me
Yes, my thoughts skipped that part
I still haven’t had the time to prepare myself for when we meet again
Because I know that it will happen sooner than later
At some point words will be exchanged between us
At some point I will be okay with this situation
That point, or so I thought, arrived a week ago
You were sitting two rows in front of me
I thought I was primed and ready for our encounter
But I surprisingly was not
For a few moments I could focus on nothing but the back of your head
For a few moments I could not breathe
The moments when my lungs failed me I realized that you were going on about your life as if nothing happened
I was nothing more than a blip on your radar
A small flash of feelings that you stopped as fast as they had arrived
Our stolen glances and kisses replayed in my head
This time in slow motion almost as if they were mocking me
Laughing at my misfortune and time wasted
As sky blue bed sheets clouded my vision
Finally I understood my part in our so called friendship falling a part
I permitted my feelings to much freedom
I was riding an unsteady emotional roller coaster
Because I so desperately was holding on to your feelings for me
When you told me you liked me too
Oooh it was a breath of fresh air
Those were words that I wanted to hear a long time ago
And you said it floating from your lips to my racing heart
I laid my hope for something more on your broad shoulders
Hoping that my hope wasn’t too heavy
Apparently it was
It was too much to see you out and about
As if I never happened
As if we never happened
Your actions took away the control
There was nothing that I could do to make this situation different
To make it happen in my favor
There was finality to me and you
A finality that you created and I was forced to accept
That was the most jarring experience
I was not given any say so in what happened to my feelings
Something had to be done
I needed to be done with you and everything that you represented
Once I regained my power to breath I began to formulate the reason you were brought to me
You reminded me that the man that I desire is out there but that in order for me to find him
I need to let the desire go and allow him the space to fall into my life
The moment I said I was done with this never ending search for a significant other and really meant it
We had our chance encounter
I was impressed to say the least
And I want to be impressed again
And again and again and again
He will not be perfect that is a given
He will be a man who believes honesty is the best policy
A man who believes truth must begin from within
A man who understands that although the truth hurts it must be spoken
In a manner that is befitting to a woman
You may be all of those things
But the way you convey your truth does not sit well with me
In a sense I needed you in order to fully realize what I desired
I thought I knew but I clearly needed to be reminded
Leaving me with a cup full of optimism and a dash of bitterness
Just a dash
I am not entirely emotionally detached from you
You presence or just the thought still warrants the failure of my lungs
Our second encounter will be better
It will hold weight
My words will not escape me
Maybe I will have the opportunity to share my truth of the matter with you
I need my truth to drift from lips to your ears
I need to hear my words even if you don’t
I need to heal
I need closure
You may not agree with what I have to say but I am a woman who understands that although the truth hurts it must be spoken
Now that I think about it I had the chance to say these things to you
It is clear to me more than ever that I was not ready
My emotions were not clear
My point would have been lost behind my veil of anger and sadness
I am seeing clearer now
I understand that sometimes the words will come when they are good and ready to be spoken
Time has passed
Days have come and gone
I am feeling clearer as well
I just hope and pray that you and I both
Are emotionally mature for our
Next chance encounters with those that
We desire.

Nighttime Thoughts
It's finals weekend and I'm more than ready to get them over with and RELAX for a week!!
I saw that light bright tonight and he was fine. As in he was laughing and chatting it up with his friends. And I was doing the same thing. At first it was a bit unnerving because that was the first time that I saw him since he sent me that ridiculous text message.Although I'm over what happened between us I sometimes I wonder what if. But then I am quickly reminded that I can't change what happened and why would I? I know that things happen for a reason. Sometimes the reason won't be understood but there always is one. I can't spend time trying to figure it out. But what happens next? Where do I go from here? I am in the midst of planning my next move ;) After today's lecture I realize that I have nothing to complain about and that I should be grateful to even believe and healthy. According to Lauryn Hill, Everyday is another chance to get it right this time. I am blessed everyday when I am able to wake up and begin another day. I hope that I do see him tomorrow so I can just deal with it. We have to see each other eventually. Hopefully I will be fly when it happens. I can't be looking a mess. LMAO. I know that someone else will enter my life and I have to just to stop asking when. I just need to be comfortable with not knowing and allowing him the space to just fall into my lap. That's easier said then done obviously. But I'm going to try; that's all I can do!!
I am so sleepy but I actually did get some homework done tonight.
But tomorrow will begin the bulk of my studying.
I'm off to dreamland now....*Goodnight

Splendiferous
Today was another splendiferous day!!
::I am expecting nothing but the best from here on out::
I thought I saw him today looking real extra light!! Lol. But it wasn't him, thankfully. Because in that moment I was not ready. But I know that whenever I do see him (because it will happen) I will be caught off guard...I'll just have to make the best out of it. Can I really be upset with him? I'm not sure. I am feeling a little stuck...I feel like because I haven't seen him or talked to him since that there is not finality. But what else needs to be said? He made himself clear and I can do nothing about that.
But I can be responsible for what I do from this point....
I have decided to be happy =) I mean I am happy but he just kinda rained on my happiness. Lol. A break from classes and college will be good if it is only a week.
Spring Quarter 09 is full of posibilidades.

Favorite Girl-Day 26
You're my favorite girl, I know.
We don't have a title.
Everynight I am thinking about the times we spent.
Why does it have to end so soon babe?
(Bottom line) Bottom line is I believe.
(Down the road) Down the road that we could be.
We'll see if your future includes me.
Baby you gotta know.

F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C.
Writing that poem felt so good. But I refuse to stay underneath my sadness for too long.
I love my life and the people in it. [I have the bestest girls]
Although there is no one to share it with, I know that at some point he will be here and it will be F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C.
And maybe that was what he was here for...just a little reminder letting me know that I should not give up hope.
So with all that said, I am going to be okay.
*And don't speak unless you mean-Shihan
*Say what you mean and mean what you say

Four Words
I am inspired to write today....
The words flow easier when
my feelings are turned inside out
Apparently you were thinking of me when you snatched
them off my sleeve
leaving them by the wayside
Exposing them to the world
and there was nothing I could do about it
When my heart fell into my stomach
I knew that what I felt for you was real
It may have been short lived but it was real, nonetheless.
I was ready to let you into my world
Rearranging the pieces of my life
in order to make room for you
I quieted my restless mind
and told you I liked you
putting it all on the table
No secrets about how I felt.
You replied with four simple words
"I like you too"
four words that I have been waiting to hear
four words
in that very moment
my thirst was quenched
I was ready to see what was in store for the two of us
I was not bothered by your past creeping into our future
Our future
I didn't see white picket fences and bouncing babies
I saw more nights filled with talking
followed by new discoveries
You say that we were in different places and you couldn't be in the same place as me
But I never asked you to be
I asked you many things
But being in the same place as I was, never that
How could I ask you about a place that I had never been?
What I feel is not anger
Just deep sadness
You are another boy I can add to the list
who felt it was okay to string me along
According to you, stringing me along is not fair
But that is exactly what you did
With each slow kiss
and longing gaze you led me to believe your four words
And I did
I drank them
Sipping the sweetness out of each one
I allowed myself to get carried away
Drunk on your four words
Hungover on sadness
Because somewhere along the way you thought
letting me down easy through a text message
was the best idea
But I'm here to tell you that it was not
Your words starring back at me
Snatching my feelings off my sleeve
Leaving them by the wayside
Exposing them to the world
and there was nothing I could do about it

my feelings are turned inside out
