Secrets...

Secrets.

There are two types of secrets that we keep.

Secrets that we hide from our family and friends and

secrets that we hide from ourselves.

We don't want to admit a lot of things to ourselves because we're afraid of getting ridiculed, laughed at, embarrassed and hurt.

But you're not the only one with secrets.

You're not alone.

We are all more alike than we think...

Lazy...

Another Sunday has come and gone.

Hello Monday. Another week to go.

Yesterday was just one of those days for me when you didn't want to say or do anything.

Talk about being lazy. But I was.

At least I finally finished my 6 page research paper. Finally.

I should be studying for psychology though but I'm listening to music instead.

Too lazy remember?

This weekend was an eventful one.

I got a chance to relax with my family before finals this week.

You got to love em' finals huh? (Cough, Cough)

Bolt was as an OK movie. Surprisingly enough.

I love my god sister Rachel.

She put a huge smile on my face today.

Don't worry. Things will get better for the both of us soon.

I promise.

The song Dictionary is playing in the background.

Gabe Bondoc never ceases to amaze me.

His guitar songs are amazing.

They speak the story while his voice speaks his soul.

Talk about a true musician.

We need more of that in the world.

Just a thought.

Anyways it's 2:30 a.m and I need to rest.

Good night world.

I promise to write something more interesting tomorrow...

I'm Not in the Mood...

Another day.

A new beginning.

A new life.

Sounds in the hallway.

Must be playing NBA2k9 again.

I'm forced outside of my own room again with no privacy.

Trying to seek solace from a machine that types my feelings in a stressful, unexpected world.

I feel what I write

and I write what I can't say.

This is who I am.

Love me,

Respect me,

or Hate me.

I could care less.

I'm not in the mood...

Ready or Not...

Hello. Or should I say good morning.

December 5th already?

Talk about time flying. I can practically taste the hot cocoa and smell the pine trees.

Ahhh Christmas time. The happiest time of the year.

Anyways I know today will be a long day today so I won' t have much time to blog.

Plus I would probably forget once I get home anyway

So I wanted to blog before I got to tired and knock out on my bed.

This is the reason:

* Microbiology quiz

* Spr 22x presentation

* Pack stuff and head home for the weekend

* Hanging out at home

* Sleeping under the covers.

The list seems short but trust me, I'm in for a long day.

Ready or not world,

Here I come...

The Closest Thing to Love...

2:43 P.M

I just woke up and I'm feeling a little tired.

Anatomy lab is finally over, two more finals to go.

My head hurts.

Food sounds good right about now, maybe later. Too lazy.

Anyways, I found something interesting today.

I don't think I've ever really found the closest meaning for love.

Sure, everyone has their own interpretation of what it is.

I know I do.

But I think I've found the closest thing to it.

"Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in that recognition."

- Alexander Smith

Trust...

Sooner or Later...

People have a weird way of acting sometimes.

One day they can be your best friend, while some days they can be a total bitch.

Talk about bipolar.

It seems as though there is a system on how life is meant to be, how people are supposed to act.

You see it in young kids these days and in the media.

No one is truly themselves in this world, and when i mean no one

I mean no one.

Why is that?

I dunno, you tell me.

But just know that sooner or later, it'll all just come crashing down...

(Unbelievable) Her Song...

(written and composed for her)


Ever since we met that day

something happened that changed the way you made me laugh and smile

I was so shy I couldn't speak

because your voice just made me weak

I tried so hard, but nothing seemed to come out

but then you smiled and came and walked into my life

It felt surreal because we've barely met

but i felt like I've known you all these years

There was something there

that I just can't seem to understand

This feeling inside

that I just can't hide anymore

It was unbelievable...

Looking Back...

So I was just thinking.

In life it's never the changes we want that ultimately changes everything.

Good or Bad its not the external changes that we experience, it's how we adapt to those changes that matter the most.

So change me,

I'm ready...

Being Thankful...

I know the Thanksgiving holiday has come and gone and Christmas is just around the corner. (weird huh?) It felt like only yesterday that the summer season just ended and school is just starting, but maybe that's just me =/ Anyways today I thought it would be nice just to look back and acknowledge some of the things that I take for granted in my life sometimes.

Anyways, here it goes...

I am first and foremost thankful to God for giving me the best parents anyone can ask for, because without them I would not have been able to be living the life I have today.

I am thankful for my 2nd family & friends, because they constantly give me the strength and inspiration to live everyday to its fullest.

I am thankful for my health and the health of my loved ones around me, that they remain strong and free from injury.

I am thankful to be going to Mount St. Mary's College, because they allow me to get the best possible education possible without leaving the comfort of my home.

I am thankful for the food and clothing that I have, and how I am not starving and naked unlike millions of people in poor countries.

I am thankful for my siblings, because they constantly teach me how to become a better brother and a person.

I am thankful for the gift of Music, and how it inspired me to appreciate other people's individual talents and abilities as well as my own.

I am thankful for
