highlights and lowlights

this week has definitely had its ups and downs… in no particular order…

 

*still no good leads on any jobs… i’m tired of aggressively contacting people who should be begging me to work for them.  hahahah!  if only that were true.

 

*my poor car (aka cutie puti) suffered an unfortunate encounter with a stretch SUV limousine.  why oh why?!   it TOTALLY wasn’t my fault (i can tell you the story if you care to hear it)… but despite that, my car is still broken—the driver’s side mirror is hanging by a wire, and the front end of the driver’s side is all scraped up.  and getting it fixed is a major unnecessary deal-with. 

 

*i had my last day of class… which is cool cuz that means no more driving to SF for school… maybe for fun times, but not for class.  just have to turn in a couple take-home exams and papers, and then it’s summa, summa, summa time!  summer vacation for the first time in like 5 years! 

 

*lunch with my dad this coming monday… good thing jerms is coming along!

 

*went swimming a couple times this week… something i haven’t done in over a year and a half!  it felt so good to be back in the water, but of course i tired out quickly… but hopefully it can become more of a habit.

 

*mother’s day this weekend should be good… the bautista and jose families are taking out our moms and lola… it should be good for lola to get out and celebrate, especially because of everything going on with her health lately.  i think she’s really looking forward to it.

 

*bev’s birthday celebration!  i was still able to attend (despite my newly injured car)… and it was good times.  always love hanging out with the cousins…vegas better watch out for us… forreal.

 

*was introduced to some songs by ne-yo… and they’ve been playing on my iTunes pretty consistently.  it was time for some new music, and he’s got some good beats.  i’m a fan.  note: ne-yo's "i don't get down like that" is the SAME tune as mary j. blige's "no one will do"... weird.

 

*my baby cousin kaysie went to prom, and i was asked to do her hair.  it came out pretty cool!  i’ll post some pictures when i get a chance.  but man, prom… was high school that long ago!?!  feels like it…

just trying to get through the days.  and waiting for life to be more than just trying to get through the days.  shake it up!

i barely wear my regular clothes these days... this is just a preview of what it will be like to work full time and wear my scrubs more often than my "street clothes."  if i'm not at the hospital, or at class after the hospital (still wearing scrubs), i'm at home wearing sweats or pajamas.  and yet, i am *always* buying new clothes... something's not right... maybe i should spend that money on cooler scrubs... haha, if there is such a thing.

when i moved back home after college, the transition was easy... i thought i could live at home indefinitely with no problems.  but lately, i've been wishing more and more (keyword: wishing) that i could move out.  and as much as i feel ashamed to admit it, if my lolo and lola didn't live with us, i probably wouldn't even be thinking of moving out.  it just gets so hard sometimes.  i love them soooooo much, and a lot of the time they make me laugh.  i told my sister... if there ever comes a time when i can't laugh with/at them anymore... then i know i'm in trouble.

my uncle is coming from the philippines this week... and guess where he's staying?  yup, here also.  it's so crowded, i just want to run away... don't be surprised if i call you up to escape to your place .

*sigh* i need Your strength.

much too much

there's sooooooo much going on lately, and i'm not quite sure how to process it all.  i'm confused, concerned, scared, anxious, antsy, and worst of all, i feel helpless.

i feel like that feather in forrest gump.  there are all these external forces blowing me around in different directions.  even though it's kinda fun floating around, it's frustrating because i have no control, and i'm totally at the mercy of the wind. 

it's almost like people are making my decisions for me!  and all i've been doing is sitting by.  things keep happening, decisions are being made, and i have no say.  when did it become like this?  was i ever in control?  or did i just think i was in control because things were going my way?  i guess we're never really the ones in control...

feeling helpless, but definitely not hopeless.
