My Heart Yearns For Adventure

Once in awhile I let my mind wander. It's always this one scenario I play out in my head.


I'm at the airport with one small suitcase in my hand, a backpack on and smile on my face. I pull the world map out of my backpack and stare at it for a second. I close my eyes and drop my finger on the map. My eyes open and I see my finger on the Red Sea. Well that won't do. I close my eyes and twirl my finger once again and my finger lands. I open my eyes. Australia. My next destination. I take my life savings and buy a one way ticket to Australia. I would stay there for 6 months, find a nice host family to stay with while I work odd jobs such as waitressing to pay my rent and meals. I would wander the city, see the sights, embrace myself in the culture and meet people of all sorts. After embracing each place i've inhabited and just about settled in, I would up and move on to the next. It would take me 6 months till I would pull out the map once again, close my eyes and choose a new place. And then after another 6 months repeat the process, repeatedly till my heart is content. Without a home, living from paycheck to paycheck, I would be like a hobo of the world. I would wander the world God created, see His creations. I would be a free spirit just learning about life itself and experiencing the beauty and darkness it holds.Could you imagine all the different types of people i'd meet, the stories i'd have?

But then my mind comes back and I remember the things I must accomplish here too. I'll just have to find my own adventure here to pacify my heart.

The "Yo Quiero" Folder

I promise a substantial post will come up soon. Until then, I will share with you a couple pictures. I have a folder on my computer labeled "Yo Quiero" which is translated to "I Want." Here are a few things found in it.

That is all I will share. If you ever get me one of these things from my "Yo Quiero" list, I offer you my lifetime friendship. And a double scoop of ice cream, any flavor.

My Life As It Is

Lately this has been my life. As a Business Economics major and Management minor, my science classes included Birth to Conception and Aids. You know, the real important stuff. haha The last time I took Chemistry was 6 years ago. Technically I should've taken the intro to chem class before this like the other students, but I just got the Dean's approval and skipped it. So basically i'm starting anew and my lack of knowledge in the molecular world is really showing through my frustrations with online homework. I haven't put enough effort in learning the material and with my upcoming exam, homework, pre lab, follow up lab work, this picture you see has become up current weekdays, Friday nights, Saturday afternoons. When you want something, you gotta work for it. And it's definitely time to give up my social life to put in the work that is needed.

I want this.

All right the fire alarm just went off in my coffee shop. Talk about a caffeine buzz kill.

To Be A Bay Area Fan

Now that i'm finally back in my roots, i've been going to some of my firsts of games. Tonight I just came back from a pre season Sharks game against Phoenix (which btw, they won 3-1). Watching hockey in person is definitely kind of exciting. I don't support violence, but I love the fighting involved. But it probably doesn't send a good message out to the kids who watch though. haha And just last weekend, I went to my first Giants game (which we also kicked ass and won, one or two home runs were hit). Honestly, i'm not really a huge baseball fan but it was fun walking around and the atmosphere. Despite these couple of wins, being a bay area fan can really be disheartening sometimes, but that's okay. We believe! I'm really excited for basketball season to support the Warriors, not just for Jeremy Lin's sake either. With the whole Miami Heat and Lakers drama, it'd be really interesting to see who wins the championship this year. My friend has season tickets for the Warriors, i'm crossing my fingers and hoping for her to take me a few times if her fam doesn't go. Or you know my birthday is in May and early season tickets wouldn't be too bad of a gift...........just saying...haha

There's just something really fun about drinking a beer while eating nachos and watching the game live. And what really makes the game fun is the fans. They go wild from their gear to their chanting and jeering. I especially like seeing the kids wearing their cute little jerseys or hats.

When I become a mother, i'm definitely putting my kids in sports camps, whether they're a boy or girl. When they're a baby i'm going to put in front of them a bunch of sports items like a basketball, hockey puck, soccer ball and tennis ball and see what they crawl up to and grab. haha It'll determine their fate. The reason why there's only those items is cause I don't really want them to play anything else. I think all the other sports are kind of boring to watch, like swimming? Yeah, not too down to see my child in a speedo in front of everyone and watch them......just swim. haha I am excited to go to my kid's games and watch them play with my hubby. I just hope our kids don't suck. If my kids end up not liking any sports but rather read books and study, I guess i'll still love them........I mean I guess it'll be okay if they don't end up as a pro athlete but cure cancer instead, i'm not that picky. haha

In any case, i'm excited for all the games to come! Go Bay Area!

The Cycle

Sometimes in life we create another problem to avoid the first problem. But in the end, you just got more problems. People are complicated creatures.

On a side note, I find my spirit to be really restless lately. It's like i'm yearning for something and i'm not quite sure what that is yet.

On another side note, why is it that whenever I do video blogs, it always still freezes on such an unattractive face of mine? And please don't say it's because every face of mine is unattractive. harhar haha But really, every time I come to my blog I see it, and then it makes me a little sad because I look retarded. :(

Video Blog #4

This has no substance but that's okay. Props to whoever made it to the end.

The Hands Up Disease

While listening to the radio, my friend Joe brought up a very good point. It seems as though all the songs are requiring us to do one thing. What is it? To put our hands up in the air. Why is it that suddenly just about every current song on the radio are asking up to put our hands in the air??? When did that become the "cool thing to do"? After awhile that's ish gets tiring. It's like my hands are constantly in the air in the car! Which means no hands on the wheel...therefore leading to unsafe driving. Or at the club. Which means while i'm holding a drink at the club, I have to lift that up too? It means i'm working out unevenly with about a 16oz weight. Or I have to be double fisting to get an even work out. Either way....no bueno. To prove my point, I have gathered some evidence of all the current songs with this "hands up" disease and have described my feelings towards each one.

California Gurls// Katy Perry

California gurls, we’re undeniable

Fine, fresh, fierce, we got it on lock

West Coast represent, now put your hands up

(Now if you don't put your hands up, you're just not being patriotic to the West Coast and that would be kinda fcked up.)

Party In The USA//Miley Cyrus

Got my hands up, they’re playin’ my song

And now I’m gonna be okay

Yeah! It’s a party in the USA!

(It is true. When someone is playin' my song, I just GOTTA put my hands up!)

Dynamite//Taio Cruz

Hands in the air

Put your hands in the air

I throw my hands up in the air sometimes

Saying a-yo

Gotta let go!

(This one is better because it requires me to throw my hands up in the air only SOMETIMES. Makes me feel like I still got free will. Nice.)

Like a G6// Far East Movement

Its that 808 bump, make you put yo hands up

Make you put yo hands up, put yo, put yo hands up

Hell yeaaaa, Make you put yo hands up, put yo hands up

(It is true. This song does make me put my hands up. I do it in hopes of owning a G6 someday.)

Club Can’t Handle Me//Flo.rida

Watching you watching me we go all out

The club can’t even handle me right now (yeahhhh)

Put your hands up! Put your hands up! Put your hands up!

(Pretty sure if everyone in the club put their hands up, I wouldn't be able to handle the club and all the sweaty pits they got goin' on.)

Just A Dream//Nelly

If you ever loved somebody put your hands up.

And now they’re gone and you wish you could give them everything

I said, if you ever loved somebody put your hands up

If you ever loved somebody put your hands up

And now they’re gone and you wish you could give them everything

(This is too depressing. I don't even have the energy left to put my hands up).

Put Your Hands Up//Fatman Scoop

You got a $100 dollar bill, put your hands up!

You got a $50 dollar bill, put your hands up!

You got a $20 dollar bill, put your hands up!

You got a $10 dollar bill, put your hands up!

(This actually comes in handy. I now know who to ask for money. This makes hustling easier. Nioce.)

All I Do Is Win//DJ Khaled

And every time I step up in the building

Everybody hands go up

And they stay there, and they say “yeah,” and they stay there

Up, down, up, down, up, down

‘Cause all I do is win, win, win A

nd if you goin’ in, put your hands in the air, make ‘em stay there

(Well this is just plain torture. Not only do I have to put my hands up but they have to go up, down, up, down, up, down like a freakin' workout. And THEN I gotta make 'em stay there?!?! Dude, what's wrong with you? And i'm doing this just cause you're stepping in the building? You're not even cute!)

With so many demands for us to "put our hands up," it can be really confusing about how to handle the situation. My best advice? Use deodorant. If you're gonna be following this trend, you might as well do it while smelling good. None of us want to smell yo' stank. My choice of preference is this deodorant. Invisible dry and I get to smell like Wild Freesia? Win.
