Graduation

I have to admit to you, I am not excited about graduating since I can not find a dress and a hair style that will set my light on fire. Maybe its the mere fact that I have a number of graduations already planned out in the next two years. I really cannot point it out, but I am excited about the thought of going to Zara Gateway to find a dress. I figured, if my family wants to celebrate this, I might as well monopolize on the situation. So, I would love another red Polo bag to complete my growing Polo handbag set. 

Our Deepest Fear Our Deepest Fear Our deepest Fear

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear
is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness,
that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?
Actually who are we not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people
won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine as children do.
We were born to make manifest
the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And when we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people 
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

- Marianne Williamson

Team Fitness

I have been going to gym for a while now, but  recently I am not motivated to go! Since it is March tomorrow, a dear friend and I have made a 6 month pact of fitness. This "pact" requires me to weigh myself, I have to tell you I have a love hate relationship with the scale! It never seems to project the numbers I want and I prefer to use a pair of old skinny jeans as my "scale". This perfect pair of jeans is my ideal size since its my first year of varsity jeans which  I would love to fit into again. The fitness pact also involves me measuring my tummy, I blame the yellow bikini photo of Beyonce for this!!!! It has left me and other young girls around the world wishing and not eating for that toned tummy. The fitness pact requires me and my dear friend Zama to have monthly meetings with the measuring tape, monitoring progress and so forth. So, tonight is my last day of having excuses and acting like I do not really care. I do not want Ruby thighs and Doris arms, instead I just want to see want a healthier and toned me would look like. Even better, what I would look like in the bikini I will get from this fitness pact.

  To my star fish 

I can not yet admit I am crazy about you and 

that thoughts of you send my mind to the stars and back but I acknowledge that your presence brings me sunshine and when I do not see you I wonder.Not just how you are doing and if your smiles is as bright as it was when you are with me but if the world holds you with both hands as I always do in my heart.

How I define love

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove:

O no! it is an ever-fixed mark 

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wandering bark,

Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks 

Within his bending sickle's compass come: 

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, 

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

   If this be error and upon me proved,

   I never writ, nor no man ever loved. 

-William Shakespeare, Sonnet 116
