Today, so far, is a good day :) Woke up at 745AM hearing my parents leave the house to go to work. Caught up on some of my television shows for about an hour because bandwidth at Southern keeps me from being updated. Did some chores around the house...it's amazing how my family can manage to do almost three loads of laundry DAILY! Something's wrong here. Got ready and hit the gym with Randy :) I attempted to re-enter the land of P90x and joined him in the aerobics room to do some Plyometrics. Truthfully, when I was starting P90x earlier this year, Plyo was my favorite- then, when it came down to it, today, I was dying! It made me feel like my gym membership of already 4 weeks was coming to a waste since I couldn't keep up. I felt weak! Haha. But, it was expected... I've had a gap of 5 months since my last P90x session (disregarding the AB exercises). So, I let him be and did my own thang. Lol...Because I'm proud of watching Randy work out, I've realized that he is super athletic! I was watching him for a good 15 minutes working on P90 and keeping up with the exact pace without a second of slacking off. For me, modified versions are my way of coping. Good job, Boo- you keep me motivated :) Afterwards, Randy and I played some ping-pong...He keeps telling me that I can be pro since I would always play with my pops and bro, but I don't bother..Hahaha..So, apparently, his plan is to make me into a Ping Pong Queen ;) Hollah. After a good work-out, I dropped him off with his family, and headed to lunch with mi madre. She's so cute working at the VA Hospital! She finds the flyest things to wear without letting the white VA nursing coats interfere with her fashion sense. Thanks for the inspiration, Mama. After eating, ran some errands with Randy, and got some bangs! "Baaaang'n!" I took after my lovely girlfriends: Dars and Heath. Now, we've got to take a picture together before our bangs grow out...Haha. I've never really blogged my "day", but it's nice looking at how I spend my time. Thanks Rands for a good day :) Currently cooking dinner for the fam...Six Flags on Wednesday- and I am NOT riding Goliath. This goes out to everyone who tries to persuade me. I have come a longgggggg ways with rollercoasters and for those who have gone with me the past two summers KNOW this ;). Wishing everyone a happy week so far.


Happy Birthday to a wonderful friend, JR Lao.

WTF.

My <3 wants to seriously break itself.
I hate broken promises. I hate them I hate them I HATE them.
Especially when I make one to myself.
I have no one to blame but me, myself, and I.
I can't point fingers. After 4 months, I let myself fall hard.
Damnit. I just wanna scream, rewind time, and wish to be strong.

Question:

Q: What's your favorite outfit?

A:

I want to look in the mirror with my birthday suit and find contentment.
Exercise and a healthy diet should be incorporated in my weekly schedule; but the things that I cannot change I want to embrace-
and when someone asks me that one question, "What's your favorite outfit?"
I don't want to refer to what's on the rack of my closet, but I want to genuinely and honestly reply with "My skin."

Reminder:

The "I Love You's" before mama and dad head off to work. The "Good morning" phone-calls my boyfriend wants more of. The prepared table when my brother gets home from school. The arranged house to lessen mama's stress. These little things matter; and these are the little things that make a big difference. I gotta remember this.

+1

you see, not to jump too far ahead, or to get ahead of myself, but...
he means a whole lot to me, and to not see him in my future is painful.
Boo helped my family and I pack up. Despite the stress, he made things fun and told me:
" When we have our own place, I'll be sure to make moving fun. " Love you, Randy.
I know I'm only 19- and to say something like this to my parents would give them a <3attack. When's puppy love not, well..
puppy love? Who's to determine and who's to say "you're too young"?

One thing that made me smile. Before I went to greet my parents good night, my mom was hugging my dad before going
to sleep and 'sweet-talking'. "See Nikki, I want to talk to your dad like we're still dating! The way you and Randy talk."
Even they notice.

Only God knows.

BASICS.

I am so grateful for lifelong friends, a supportive family, and a wonderful and loving boyfriend.

It

Reunited and it feels sooooo good ;)
Heather and I are waiting on PUC, Cal-State Long Beach, and RCC.



My family and I are in the middle of packing all of our belongings to move into another home.
After 5 years of living in this house, I can still recall what took place in each individual room.
From high school to college; it's a new chapter.
The good news: we'll be down the street ;)

Message from your h3art.

Don't break me, I bruise easily
The source of both your love and misery

I am steady, beating endlessly
While you are dozing, dreaming pretty things
Lovely things

I don't work for free
Please take care of me

This is a message from your heart
Your most devoted body part
Taking blood and making art
This is a message from your heart
Pounding away into the dark
You could thank me for a start
This is a message from your heart

Truth

Sometimes we expect more from others because we'd be willing to do that much for them.

GPA

Grades came in today.
Freshman year of college GPA: 3.73

I wish that 3 was a 5, but still thankful for getting through this year.

Happy Birthday, Chuck

Back from Newport. This long weekend was exactly what I needed. A change in scenery was nice also. Instead of forest-like trees, I saw palms. Instead of lakes, I saw beaches :) I really do like living in two completely different areas. I get the best of both worlds (sometimes). Tennessee still wins for being a calm environment. Fast-paced gets me ancy and I dislike ancy (at times).

Happy birthday, Chuck! I'm glad you were able to spend time with your boyfriends and family. If only Heather was here.

To those that understand: (You know who you are)// Thanks for respecting my choice and convictions. It means more to me than you realize.

Photos soon! Took plenty over this long weekend.

Note to self:
h20 only.

GAMEPLAN

Chubby face. LOVESEATS instead of LOVEHANDLES. Bleehhhh, and MEAT IN MY SYSTEM! Ew.
College has changed my eating habits and I hate it.

Gym membership tomorrow. It means nothing unless I go consistently like last summer.
This is my gameplan.

Let's hope it follows through :)
