shall the end be the begining

Here we are again, another year, another end. Time to reflect and time to set new resolutions.

This year I learned that I am weak. I'm also STRONG. I'm great. I'm amazing. Due to these findings I've set myself to get the best out of life next year. Take it like this, life is an orange, and I'll be squeezing it... Vitamine C is the best of like. Pretty nice analogy if you ask me.

 A year of self-discovery sets on a year of self-fulfillment. How CUTE is that?! 

MAY 2012 BRING YOU ALL THE BEST OF LIFE. CRY.LAUGH.LIVE.

Life is ... interesting

Funny story:


Groupon about foreign language lessons..
RobJ: nice, they can teach you inglish.
Me: I know English.
RoBieJ: you do?
Me: [writes on search engine] 'YES, I DO'.
Google shows: Video 'Yes I do' by Rascal Flatts.


Let me just tell you that I had never heard this song but IT'S JUST PERFECT minus the crying part, that's for losers.... "I'm awesome instead".

"Yes I Do"

Do I cry, in the night?
Do I long to hold you tight?
And do I wake, wanting you?
Yes I do
Do I recall, everyday,
How you took my breath away?
Do I remember loving you?
Yes I do

[Chorus:]
Yes I do dream of all we had together
Yes it's true we lost it all forever
And do I pray anyway?
Yes I do

I don't live in the past
Wanting love that wouldn't last
I don't ache, like I used to
Yes I do

[Chorus x2]

Yes I do
Do I pray?
Yes I do dream of all we had together

Yes I do

And Yes I do

The hazards of not having a wallet a.k.a Christmas present hint

Today I felt like to eat a sub, a Quiznos sub.

So after I go through with the entire order I start searching through my bag to find my card and pay... to my very own surprise I could NOT find it! So I tell the guy, 'oops, im afraid I left my card at home, sorry', and as I'm about to sadly turn and leave their lovely establishment, he replies back,
'oh, then, just take the sub'
me: 'really?!'
him: 'yeah, imma have to throw it away anyways...'
me--> takes it, thanks him, and walks out...

Anyways, as I walk out I keep looking through my bag for my card because I was 100% sure I hadn't left my house without it, I was gonna buy my iPhone for crying out loud! soo i found it! AND WENT BACK IN AND HAPPILY PAID FOR MY DINNER.

In conclusion, buy me a wallet for Christmas!

Wolf and the Lamb

A WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf’s right to eat him. He thus addressed him: “Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me.” “Indeed,” bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, “I was not then born.” Then said the Wolf, “You feed in my pasture.” “No, good sir,” replied the Lamb, “I have not yet tasted grass.” Again said the Wolf, “You drink of my well.” “No,” exclaimed the Lamb, “I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother’s milk is both food and drink to me.” Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, “Well! I won’t remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations.”  The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.

Do not stand at my grave and weep

"Do not stand at my grave and weep

I am not there. I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush

I am the swift uplifting rush.

Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry;

I am not there. I did not die."

by Mary Elizabeth Frye (1932)

Shame on me for kissing you with my eyes closed so tight

Have you ever kissed with your eyes opens? NO? LOL, what a loser... jk
I have. 
In my defense I wasn't trying to be any less romantic. There are reasons why people do this
1. to know if the other person has them closed (guilty)
2. they are creeps (...hhmmm, maybe)
If they do have their eyes closed then they're really feeling it, and I dont mean LOVE -well, that could be an option- I just mean, they feel the heat, inntteeeennssssee... *cough, clears throat*
I think I've completely missed the goal of my post, I was actually gonna talk about "That Thing You Do!", really good movie about a band, set on the 1960s. Kind of watched it because I used to date this drummer, kind of a rocker the kid... BACK ON TRACK! The title to this post is an actual quote from the movie. The character played by Liv Tyler says it to this freaking jerk, ugh, what a jerk! 

I don't really know why I like Ms. Tyler but I think it is because I used to mix her up with Audrey Tautou, and do not ask me why. Or maybe because she starred on "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy... OH MAN! I just got carried away..once more. 


I give up on the movie.

That awkward moment when...

...you wake up thinking is 7:08AM but it's actually 8:07AM!

...you can manage to be ready but your bike, OFF!, and water are NOT!

...strangely enough you manged to get to work on time... -.-

...you realize you must attend a meeting on the other side of campus.

...you walk into a meeting room with every eye following your every movement, sitting down, and someone tells you you are on the wrong place..  =S

...you have to stand up and walk out of a room you mistakenly went into.

...some ladies start asking this other lady where she got her fancy antique-looking necklace and she has to say "Agaci for $7".

...you realize it's only 9:15AM.

Summer "Distraction"

What I like the most about biking is those rocks and roots in the middle of road. Yeah, the ones I see and try to avoid but end up going over them anyways. Those are the ones that might make me stumble and fall off my bike but they also make me want to do it all over again.. until rocks become dirt and cover the roots. 


This new thing I'm trying is really FUN - although it was supposed to be "my summer distraction" but it  failed because of reasons I won't discuss :P "ay, que complicacion!!!" Tony - the point is biking is becoming the best thing I've set myself out to do in a long time. It drags you in, it's like the best vice I could have ever gotten myself into. Now, I just watch mountain biking videos on YouTube and read blogs and stuff... sick, I tell you.


Just recently I bought me a bike and couldn't be any happier with my decision - no more renting! - and now I'm able to explore trails other than the ones at Oleta River, such as the freaking awesome one they have at Amelia Earhart Park (trail at Virginia Key is next). And I want to thank Lexis for looking after me... in such a way that she tries for me to be safe on the trails that she misses the obstacles herself and ends up falling. Oh, also, she introduced me to the awesomeness of the hydration bags!!! I shall never stop for water ever again!

I guess the best part is getting to share the fun with some of the greatest people I've ever met. Biking makes me happy   =D  

This is me now...they'll grow... :P   

My sister, the clever one?

You never know what you have until you speak to it. FACT!

lil sis: "you're so annoying when u talk like that, you know.. life is not ALL about you, Laura ........it's about me ..at least my life is." lol

Me: I like mine because it has an owl in it, I really like owls, they're cool.

lil sis: wanna get a bunny?

Me: uh, what?!

lil sis: you like owls, do you want to get a Bunny?

Me: what's the correlation between owls and bunnies???

lil sis: they're both cool.

Me: O_o LOL!

I can't help it..it was love when my mom told me she was pregnant, it all went down hill from there on.., :P 

update: 
lil sis: "why did it go downhill? because I'm taller than u, so I don't have to look up to you..." 
LMAO

SOME GUY ALMOST DIED

but yea, some guy on a jetski brought his jetski on the beach, right? but he's not very good at jetskiing (sic?), right? so he's still going full throttle onto the sand, and comes like 6 yards on to the beach, and almost ran over this dude (we'll call him tracy). Tracy does some crazy matrix moves to jump out of the way JUST in the nick of time.

It was crazy

LMAO

tracy is soooo coooolll

The Smoother

This is a story about a young gentleman and a very beautiful young lady. It starts with the young man and the young lady having mutual friends and coincidently with similar interests which take them to attend to the same events. After a while the friendly faces start to say Hi and wave hands at each other every time they cross paths. To say the least, the beautiful young lady is moi.
Well, to my incredible shame, I did not know the young gentleman's name, and the very amiable encounters never had gone beyond the usual "hello" but everything turned out to be on my favor when I met this friend of his and he's introducing himself to me, and I'm all like "oh, yeah, I've seen you around with..." pause to get him to say the name and... "Frank! yeah, I'm his friend" voilà -- THE UNIVERSE HAS SPOKEN! I'm destined for success. LOL 
yeah, it turns out that not only, modesty aside, I'm the incredibly gorgeous young lady but I'm also...wait for it.. "The Smoother". Because I'm smooth like that (in case you didn't get it). Take that *insert thing/person here*.
Ah! writing feels good  :D 
PS: I really don't know if Frank knows my name, *shrugs* oh, well...

Can you breath it? It's in the air...

Yes! Valentine's is right around the corner, but... what's triggering such romantic feelings that are making me type these words after so long?? This is how it begins...


This is FBLA-PBL week, and Claudia (chapter's VP of Public Relations, I guess..) wanted to show some love to her fellow E-board members, so she decided to bring a bucket with candies and chocolates for the cute, really beautiful girls that are part of this wonderful E-Board. So after I pick up my present I go to the office of one of the "Big Names at the School of Biz" for some signatures, and of course... I still had my little red, heart-decorated bucket with me, screaming love love love all over the place. So he's like...
Him: "uuhh, a special someone got that for you??"
And I'm all shy and smileyy  looking
Me: *lil smirk* a friend did. *fact! and he got it!*
Him: how many of those do u expect to get for v-day? *reads the docs I brought him*
Me: IDK, i really just want one, from just one person.. *he signs them*
Him: Well, you already have one, so I guess you've met your quota.. (I LOLed at this in my head because he's a biz person so it kind of made sense...lol)  XP 
Me: true...
Him: Don't worry about it, I'll give him until Tuesday, sometimes things don't happen until Tuesday.. 
I look fascinated by his comment
Him: and if he doesn't.....you're still young. *hands me the papers*


I guess he made my day a pretty interesting one.


On another note...
I can't wait until Monday!!!!*thrills*....some friends and I have this mega extravaganza planned out.. I just can't wait!!  =D  I might even blog about it
