Never would have thought that I would have a revelation at 3:30 AM,
while waiting for a caffeine high to wear off with Jason Mraz in the background
but okay, I'll take it.

It's been some time since I had my pre-mid-life crisis episode.
I think I've got most things in control.
I was flipping through old pictures on facebook
and for some reason, reminiscing made me a little sad
6 years later, I feel like I'm almost a completely different person.
(hopefully a better one in most aspects)

A little less than a year ago, I closed the college years chapter in my mind
I was hanging in an in between/gray area, not quite ready to open a new chapter.
I'm back to where I was 2 years ago, fresh out of college, not really knowing what was ahead of me.
Here I am, finally quitting my job, not really having anything definite in front of me.
But I like it. Starting fresh.
The past two years have been a great learning period and of course there's always more growing to do.
But I've seen the worst of me come out (yay work), and refuse to let myself become that miserable again.
I'm slowly learning to surround myself with only good things/people.
I've learned that being selfish isn't bad - within a certain limit.

Blahblahblah. I could ramble on, but the caffeine is finally wearing off.
'Twas a good ending to the night.
*snore*

* 2008 *

the end of the year has come so fast!
in a way, it's been a gloomier year,
as many friends & family have passed on.
i hope it brings those families comfort to know
that their loved ones are at peace.

when i was in high school,
i wanted to be married by 24 and have my first child at 26-27.
i'm only a few months away from 24
and i'm no where close to that stage in life.
i'll be lucky if i marry before 30 at this point.
it's different being the single one
while all your friends are settling down with a bf/fiance/husband.

2008 started off rough, and it took me a while to get my act together
but other than that, it's been a good year.
i've become a little more realistic (jaded by experiences?)
and have learned to take care of myself first (excluding those close to me)
i've finally closed & let go of one chapter of my life (college years)
and am more than eager to start the next one (vet school... hopefully soon~ good grief.)
i feel like i'm sitting in the middle of earth & heaven
while waiting to hear back from schools & working.
i think i may apply to grad school as well, in case i get rejected from all vet schools
the thought of working another year is horrible.
it's time to do something else with myself.

resolutions for 2009?
embrace more changes & make more changes.
(hopefully good ones)

2007. what a year.

graduated. moved back home. working full-time.
despite how mentally & physically draining work is
[ and all the stress that's constantly making me break out/lose hair >=I ]
i still love it. and i know this is what i want to do.

taking time off before i applied to vet school was the best decision i ever made.
for myself & for my family.
it's been another make or break year.
good times. good memories. good lessons learned.

[ 2008 resolutions ]
. less meat, junk food, coffee. more veggies, fruits & water. (#1 resolution)
. study hard for the GRE's & take it by early spring
. educate myself about at least 1 drug & 1 medical condition every week
. read more. watch more movies. spend more time with family, friends, & bf.
. get my mind straight. stay focused.
. slow down. enjoy life. be happy.

 

[ 2008 Horoscope for Aries ]
(they're right on the money. exactly what one of my resolutions is based on)
Applying your mind, not your muscle!

Overcoming obstacles is your major task for 2008, Aries, and the passage of Pluto into Capricorn will definitely throw a few impediments in your path. And these hurdles could involve all departments of life - love, career, money, family, hobbies, etc. The worst thing you can do is to let Pluto get the best of you - but with you that's not an option. You'll plunge right in and go for whatever it is you want. But watch yourself. Remember that you tend to rush in where angels fear to tread. Acting in a rash and impulsive way could hurt your endeavors more than help them. Slow down and use your wits rather than adrenalin to make progress toward attaining your goals.

hello xanga world. seems like everyone's abandoned you for facebook & myspace.
myself included.

life is good. working & enjoying life at home.
trying to keep my head above the water.
money goes as fast as it comes
at least housing & most of my meals are free - thanks mommy <3 :]

so i'm officially old. everyone around me/around my age is getting engaged/married.
it's actually starting to freak me out. nowhere near ready to use the pronouns "us" or "we". o.O
focusing on myself, doing my thing and doing my best to take care of the family.
speaking of family - danielle got her permit. dear lord.
i wish my dad was still around. mom's horrrrribllle at driving.
so that leaves me. in the car. with her behind the wheel.
[ helmet? check. full body padding? check. ]

thoughts about my future career track frustrates me day in & day out
i honestly wonder if i have the brains for it and if i have the ability to lead a team of nurses?
the ultimate question is, can i get into vet school?
and when & if i land a job, will it be enough to support a family, mom & if need be my sisters?
hopefully God will help me figure out my place in this world.

i miss my best friends. i hardly see them.
deyo lives 2 steps away but we're both busy with work.
and ms annie lee is a bergen head - so farrr. :[

much needed break: a day/night get-away to AC next weekend.
leaving the boys at the casino while krys & i go out.
and then in September: seminar/meet & greet with Cesar Milan
oh man. i cannot wait. get to meet my role model. [ shaddupppp ]

okay. i'm done rambling. take care everyone. :]
