Saying Goodbye...

Depressed.

There is no other word in the English language that can fully describe what I'm feeling right now.

I just learned that my friend isn't coming back to school next semester.

.........

I don't know what else to write.

It hurts knowing that the person I can fully relate with is the one leaving this school.

.........

People leave, and I accept that. It's a natural part of life...

But sometimes you wish you can do something about it. Sometimes you just want to change everything, just want everything to stay the same...

But you can't.

It's been almost 3 months here at the Mount and now I am losing one of my best friends.

It hurts and so does life sometimes. But you have to keep going.

I am really going to miss hanging around with him.

I hope he knows that he influenced a lot of people around him and he will be truly missed.

All I can hope for is the best for him wherever he may go.

The Mount will always be home for you...

I'll miss you man...

What the Future Holds...

None of us knows what tomorrow brings.

Life is full of surprises sometimes good, sometimes bad...

We will never know what life will throw at us.

All we can do is live each day the best way we can without any regrets.

That's all that matters in the end...

Voting...

November 4th, 2008.

Today marked a historical day for many 18 year olds around the country.

Today was the first time I ever voted in a national election and I was very excited. = )

This day not only marked my status as a full on American citizen, but also gave me the feeling of having my voice heard in our nation especially during these hostile times.

Whatever the results may turn out to be, I will be happy knowing that I participated and had a chance to be a part of such a monumental election.

All we can do now is wait and see what will happen from here...

Changes...

Allen Iverson got traded for Chauncey Billups & Antonio McDyess...

Wow is all I can say.

For all you NBA fans, this is a HUGE deal. WHY???

Well because these two players aren't just players, but established SUPERSTARS.

Now one cannot stop but wonder WHY I am writing about this today.

Well in all honesty believe it or not, this trade made me realize something really important.

NOTHING can be ever taken for granted.

In this life we are constantly thinking that the people and places that we are accustomed to seeing will always be there.

But that is not true...

Life is constantly changing whether we want it to or not, and we MUST accept that.

I bet these basketball players didn't think that they were going to get traded and relocated into a different team and city so suddenly.

Think about the shock that these people will have to go through once this deal is finalized. Will their lives ever be the same?

Probably not. But that is not the most important part.

The most important part to this is not whether their lives will be the same, but how they plan to make it better than what they had in the past.

I have always believed in looking at things at a more positive light, even if it seems that only negativity surrounds you.

I know it's difficult because well... I've been there.

Most of the time it is so much easier to look at the bad things in life as opposed to the good things.

I'm guilty of that, and I know a lot of you are too.

But in order for this to stop we have to change.

I know, change is tough. Nobody wants to change. It's extremely difficult. But sometimes we have to try if we want to become better people.

And that's the cold, hard, truth.

By now I know you are probably scratching your head and thinking " OK, I guess that makes sense, but what does that have to do with me? "

Well here it is...

WE ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE TO LIVE.

Life must never be taken for granted.

That is not a thought that we constantly think about, but it is true.

So, enjoy it and live it the best way you can.

Tell your parents you love them, take that risk with a girl you like,

Whatever it is just do it.

Because you will never know when one day your whole world might just change for the better or for the worse...

Meet Mariel Krystel V. Llamas...

She's amazing in every little way or at least in my eyes.

She possesses so much strength for her age that one cannot overlook her determination to conquer each and everyday.

Beauty with a sense of independence.

Add a sense of eagerness of doing what she loves, dedication to her family and friends and...

BAM - you have a girl that every guy dreams about loving.

She is love in every essence of the word.

Meet My Little Sister,

Mariel Krystel V. Llamas...

Too Precious to be Forgotten...

There are some things in this world that cannot be bought or duplicated.

These things in life are just too priceless and sentimental to be ever felt again.

SFHS Theater is one of the select few that fall into this category.

The experiences and friends that I have made during my 2 years here will forever be held in my heart.

I will always be eternally grateful for having the chance to share my talents with such a wonderful group of artists.

You will not be forgotten...

My Strength...

HE is my

Creator,

Strength,

Guidance,

Support,

Friend,

Savior.

Despite all the adversities that I continue to face in life, HE continues to be there for me.

HE is my inner strength, my Lord and Savior.

HE is my GOD...

Metamorphosis...

Each day is a new day.

The more I have contemplated about my past, the more I have realized how far I have progressed as a person.

People make mistakes.

It's not something new.

I have learned to accept the fact that Life will always be a learning experience for me.

Nobody is perfect...

The Mount...

There are no words that can describe how I feel whenever I step foot on this place.

This is who I am.

This is my second home.

This is my inspiration to excel.

This is my college.

Mount St. Mary's College and the people that I have met here will always hold a special place in my heart...

Brown Eyed Blues...

L-O-V-E

Four simple letters that possesses maybe the greatest emotion a person can give.

Life is filled with Love.

Love for God, your family, your friends, and maybe that significant other.

But life can also give you the cold shoulder...

Nobody said this was easy. Life does not spoon feed us what we always desire.

If it did, what's the point of living?

I just need to stay patient. Love from her will come to me someday.

I know it will...

Stop and Stare...

Why are Blogs so popular?

Is it a way to vent out your emotions or a way for people to notice your venting?

Is it a means of expressing yourself or a way for people to admire your sense of expression?

What is it all about?

What will I write about?
 
I guess I will find out sooner than I think...
