Hey. What's up? Hello!
It's me again and we're approaching the end of the first month of the new year already! That's a photo of me right this very moment, laying on the couch aka my happy place, contemplating the dullness that is my life. I'm also trying to bring back the Apple photobooth because why not? Remember when all of the cool teens would hang out at the Apple store to take photos on the computers because it was the thing to do? Yeah, I did that ONCE and I was embarrassed. Anyway, I hope you all are doing well because the heavens know that I've been a mess.
I'm still on Winter break (being lazy, unhealthy, etc. etc.) and unfortunately that ends this Saturday, also known as the first day of my last semester at Cal-State Fullerton. Thankfully all of my classes are online and are all fillers, excluding my internship course which I don't consider a class. I'm taking three classes outside of my major because that's all I need to graduate, HALLELUJAH! I decided to finish off my five years at Fullerton with a stress management class, an African American class, and my favorite... Women's gender studies! I'm pretty darn excited to be graduating, but I'm also a sad pup because school is something I know I'll definitely miss... Good thing you can always go back. So yeah, as for my internship, StyleHaul is still having me for another semester which is super exciting! I get more and more responsibilities every time I step into that office that sometimes I'm a bit overwhelmed, but I love the challenge and I guess it's pretty cool when people trust you. I haven't really thought about life after college because that stuff scares me and I guess you can say that I'm taking things one step at a time. I try not to sweat that kind of stuff even though I should, but I'm really aiming to take advantage of my youth before it's too late and I actually have to grow up and attempt adulthood. (shouts to Momma J for giving me the means to do so) I mean don't get me wrong, my future is important to me, but there are things I want to do before I have a set routine for God knows how long... Okay, so to the topic of the new year:
2016. So far, so good. The past few weeks have been really chill. Lots of hanging out with my friends, meeting new people, playing card games, boardgames, video games, watching movies, lots of eating, talking, listening, sleepovers (or not sleeping at all actually). It's a pretty damn good life to be honest and I'm so very thankful for the people who make it all bearable. (Shoutout to the ultimate homies!!!) This year, several things are going down and it makes me all giddy just thinking about the opportunities that I'm grabbing by the balls. For example, my number one priority... TRAVELING. Originally, I was planning to fly solo to the east coast, however it turned into a 16 person party which I'm so stoked about because the more the merrier right? I'm so lucky that my friends are down and impulsive, although sometimes we could get a little too carried away. But quick little story, one day I brought up how tickets to New York were only $200 then all of a sudden, a few of us found ourselves buying those tickets not too long afterwards... Slowly more and more of us just started buying tickets, as if it wasn't a big deal or anything. But in all seriousness, how can you turn down a $192 roundtrip ticket to New York City? It's simple. You can't. I'm also going to be visiting someone who recently made a reappearance in my life and I'm not going to lie... I'm SUPER excited and SUPER nervous that I'm going to throw up... The truth will unfold and shit will go down, but I still have a month to mentally and emotionally prepare for what is to come, not to be so dramatic, but this is VERY important to me so I have the right to be dramatic. ANYWAY yeah. I'm excited.
Then we have Coachella or maybe not because apparently there are better lineups at other music festivals. It would be amazing to go out of state to another fest, like Gov's Ball, Lolla, or Firefly. This summer I'm going to Japan, South Korea, and back to the Philippines! I'm excited for that trip, however it hasn't hit me because planning has been pushed aside for the time being. According to my friends, Hawaii is also a thing this August. I haven't gone and clearly I'm missing out so that's another thing to be excited about. I need to get that beach body before summer which is something I've been saying every year for the past 3-4 years maybe? Sounds just about right. Well, at least there has been progress, even though it's very little progress, it's better than nothing. I want to look just as good as Sel G. in her "Hands to Myself" music video because she is so fire. I mean, I know it won't happen, but sometimes wishes are granted if you wish hard enough. It happened to me not too long ago ;) HAHA Shut up, I can feel your judgement.
There is so much excitement going on in 2016. I don't have any resolutions this year or any year because I find those pointless. I do, however want to do a bunch of reading. I can't believe I forgot to mention that I'm currently on a social cleanse! This means no Instagram or Facebook and I haven't actually given myself a date as to when I'll be back on, but so far so good. I've been on my phone less... I realized that I don't need it and that I can occupy myself with other unproductive things like Netflix, online shopping, lots of Spotify, YouTube, etc. It surprises me how early I sleep nowadays and how little I need to recharge my phone (little victories). To be honest, the reason why I decided to disconnect for the time being is because I was consumed with other people's lives and it was just putting me down and just making over think and worry about things that I shouldn't focus on. I sound like an idiot, but it's really a fresh of breath air and I can focus on important shenanigans as opposed to assumptions and creating scenarios in my head that are nonexistent in real life. I'm just a trying to clean up the mess that is my life right now...
That's my life as of January 21. It's nothing too wild. Very content at the moment ifyaknowwhatimean *wink wink.* My current goal is to focus on the now and not stress about the future and its "maybes." We'll see how things roll out. Alright, enough of this rambling. Wish me luck and I'll talk to you all soon!
TOODLES POODLES!
