Beauty Undefined...

There comes a time in everyone's life when they wake up one morning and don't recognize the face of the other person staring right back at them.

Not knowing why or how they ended up where they are, good or bad.

Not realizing just how fast time can change someone.

But looks are only skin deep. Beauty will be forever defined through the soul.

And it's that soul that will continue to grow and live despite earthly limitations.

Beauty on the outside is very easy to be described.

You can be ugly, pretty, cute, perky or whatever.

But the beauty inside, the soul, is something that cannot be easily expressed.

The soul will always be beauty undefined...

The Unexpected...

There are times in your life when all you see around you is negativity.

The things we don't have usually stands out much more to us than the things we are blessed to have.

We are naturally selfish and that's how its always going to be.

But there also comes a time when the most unexpected thing can turn your whole perspective around.

It's funny how the things that don't make sense at first, makes the most sense in the end...

Sometimes...

Sometimes I wonder if anything's absolute anymore.

Is There Still right and wrong? Good and bad? Truth and lies?

Or is everything negotiable,left to interpretation, grey.

Sometimes we're forced to bend the truth, transform it, cause we're faced with things that are not of our own making.

And sometimes things simply catch up to us...

Ready, Set, Cue!

Goodbye February, Hello March!

I don't know why but February has been a lethargic month to me for some reason. It was probably just a lack of interesting stuff to write about, but none the less it was pretty boring.

I know it's been awhile since my last post, so I felt like I needed to write something to help make up for it, especially for this past month.

Come to think of it, it wasn't because February was an awful month, it was just a lazy month to say the least.

But to start, yesterday I took my siblings and Celynne out to celebrate her 12th birthday.

Happy Birthday Celynne! The day began as I had to pick up my sister and brother from choir practice (whoopee, sarcastic cough lol), only to find out that she had to stay and extra 30 MINUTES for an EXTENDED REHEARSAL!

Ugh, talk about unexpected. ( Thanks a lot Krystel)

Anyways, when she finally got out of choir we went out to get some Juice It Up! (yummy) and then went out to go to Cue! Studios for some pics.

Ok to backtrack, this was my first time driving to Cue!, so I wasn't sure where and how to get there. So I relied on my sister's sense of direction to help me get us there.

Oh man what an adventure ( well, not really an adventure, more like a nightmare cause we got lost more than once while finding that damn place!)

But yeah, after maybe 35 mins. of getting lost, frustrated, angry, hungry, tired, and questioning each other's sense of direction ( Krystel again, cough cough) we finally arrived. Finally!

Once we stepped inside, let's just say chaos ensued. My siblings were running everywhere, marveled at the many Japanese photobooths that were in there.

We couldn't stop laughing at each other, especially when we couldn't read the damn instructions! All we did was press buttons, whether it was right or wrong. We just waited for 3..2...1.. Flash!

But the worst was yet to come, (drumroll please!)

The editing!

Oh man, I swear we must have spent a good solid HOUR of editing our photos! "Should I put a heart there?" Hey I like that effect!" Ewww, no I don't like that! Take that out!" Haha. You had to be there to see how lame we were!

But it was really fun, nonetheless.

After having so much fun at Cue! Studios, everyone decided that they wanted to get a bite to eat. But Celynne told me that she wanted to go to Best Buy to buy something for her friend.

So off we went to Best Buy where she got what she wanted to get for her friend.

When we left, we decided to get some dinner. Everyone decided that they wanted Islands so we drove there to get some good burgers and fries.

Man where we stuffed after that, me especially ( I basically ordered 4 sliders and I only ate 2! How pathetic is that right?)

What's even more pathetic was figuring out the tip! Haha!

Well after having a good dinner, we decided to call it a day. We drove back home, tired from the day's adventure.

Celynne even slept in the car on the drive back. It was the cutest thing.

And you know what, that was the only thing I needed.

Just knowing that she had fun made the car trip, detours, arguments, and jokes, even more memorable.

Happy Birthday Celynne...

Change for the Better...

Change. v.,

1. To alter; to make different; to cause to pass from one state to another; as, to change the position, character, or appearance of a thing; to change the countenance.

Change has been an underlying trend that has begun to take interest from a lot of people here in our society. We've seen it everywhere, from the clothing styles to the attitudes of the people around us.

Change is here, and it seems that it's here to stay.

Saturday morning was Valentine's day, but it ended up becoming much more than just that.

It was the day that I finally gotten something off my chest for so long. For 18 years.

It was the first day that I actually told my dad everything. Everything that I have felt towards him, the good and the bad. His accomplishments and his shortcomings.

Everything.

And you know what, if given the choice to do things over again. I wouldn't.

Because it was his mistakes that ultimately made me realize the type of father I hope to be.

The type of father I want to be.

So I'm giving him another chance on making things right again, and so far he has changed dramatically.

I hope he stays that way, because that was the type of father I've always wanted all along.

It's a shame that it took 18 years for him to realize that...

Almost 2 for 1 Tuesday...

So today while searching for a new job, I learned that the Mann Theater is now offering 2 for 1 Tuesday which basically means that whenever you buy 1 ticket you get another 1 free.

You don't know the sheer excitement when I found out the news, so I totally made sure I was going to take advantage of this opportunity.

I took my little sister Kriselle because she wanted to really wanted to watch this movie and because I remember reading the book many years ago.

Anyways we get to the theaters to find out that the "2 for 1 Tuesday" deal does not apply to 3D movies.

WTF right?!!!

All in all it was still a very good and entertaining movie to watch, even if I had to spend an extra $10.00 to enjoy it.

Seeing her smile was more than enough for me...

Just Another Friend...

Monday morning, it's raining and it's cold outside.

But something seems to warm my heart,
it's the feeling of you by my side.

Your scent, every bit of your touch, keeps me inspired,
my voice sings louder.

For you and only you, the girl that's one of a kind.

But I, don't, know what I'm going to do.

Because in your eyes, I'm just another friend to you.

You stand out from the crowd,
I'm breathing harder, my heart beats faster.

You look and you say hello,
I stand there smiling, but you leave not knowing that

I don't know what I'm going to do.

Because in your eyes, I'm just another friend to you.

Oh baby I tried and tried, but you couldn't really see.

That we can be more than this, than what we are currently.

Oh it won't stop me. No it won't stop me.

So I don't know what I'm going to do.

Because in your eyes, I'll always be a friend to you...

* This is a song I wrote a couple of days ago talking about love that doesn't neccesarily go both ways. It's dedicated to every person that has ever loved their friend much more than just a friend...

*Song & Video to come shortly!

=)

Let's Shoot...

What do you get when you have a cold Sunday Afternoon,
A head full of ideas,
and a camera?

This...
