Important reminders for Me

If you want to be happy -- choose to be.

If you dwell on negativity your life is going to be just that.

If you smile on the world, it WILL smile back.

Enjoy the little things, they may be gone someday (People included).

Do the things that you want to do, because you are in charge of your own life, and if you let other people determine your decisions you may live in regret someday.

Spend time with the people who lift you up, bring laughter to your lips, and who you cannot live without.

Don't over-complicate things. Things are already as complicated as they need to be.

When things get overwhelming and you feel like life is falling apart, remember your blessings - don't focus on the curses.

Remember no one has control over your life but YOU. Make the best of it.

Be content but always strive for more.

Don't be complacent or think you know it all, you always have something to learn.

When you are upset by someone - put yourself in their shoes, try to see their perspective - This will give you the much needed outside view.

Don't wish away any moment, you will never get it back.

Keep it simple, and always remember "Life will go on" regardless of the circumstance.

SMILE no matter what, it makes a difference.

Awake...

My Asian Adventure!!!

I went to the Pacific Asia Museum today.  It was a class assignment for my Multi-Culture Anti Bias class. The assignment was to go to a place/event that has nothing to do with my own culture. It was very interesting, saw a lot of artifacts. Surprisingly a lot of the customs we read about as we went through the museum reminded me of my own culture. There was one piece they had that said to hold an ancestor within it, I told Ericka that was "kinda creepy... but then again , no more creepy then having your deceased relatives visiting you in the month of November"... lol. Dia de Los Muertos.
We had the entire museum to ourselves, I guess not many people wanna visit a museum Friday night in Pasadena. I think I had the most fun in their Silk Road room, they had sets of Asian clothing you could try on, and a set with a giant Llama and instruments you could sit in and take pictures in. Lol. I tried on two of the outfits. :) They also had a touch table with different artifacts and magnifying glasses. I also enjoyed reading and writing in their guest book. A lot of people wrote their story or their ancestors story and why they came to the museum.
Afterwards Ericka and me went to our favorite Japanese noodle house, Hakata Ramen Shin Sen Gumi, and had a bowl of Ramen. I chased it down with a small bottle of cold Sake ;D and Ericka had green tea. For the most part it was a fun day. We haven't seen each other in a while so we caught up at dinner. Not everything we talked about brought a smile to my face, but it's nice to know she's there for me.

Anywhoo, I should go to bed. I plan on going to the year of the snake celebration tomorrow before work.
I'll post pics later.

Goodnight JD

So much for my Fairy tale...

Perhaps thats all it was... just a Fairy tale. A fictitious story that had to come to an end .... because all fairy tales have an ending... but is it over? I have so many thoughts running though my head. Im not sure which line of thinking I should follow. Siiiigh.

Trying....

 

These last few months have been difficult and I dont see the future getting any easier but here I am TRYING. I cant say Im not trying. With a little more disipline and faith I hope things keep getting better...

Anemia Blows!

I hate being tired all the time.
Im irratable.
Im moody.
I wish I had more self discipline... maybe then I could get rid of all my health issues.
I have yet to make a doctors appointment and Im overdue for one. I forget to take my iron pills and birth control. i.e the Birth control helps with the anemia, I dont loose so much damn blood! Imagine bleeding 20-25 days outta the month! Bet you'd be irratible too!!!
I should go to bed.... I just finished some homework. It's for my online course. Uuuugh! I need to get myself in check soon, otherwise I dont see me getting a good grade in this class. :(
I start work this Sunday and my free time will be drastically decreased! :(

Goodnight.
