happy bday to meeh!

so i'm 22 now! i'm getting old...lol
today has to have been one of my best days. all i gotta say is that i'm lucky. i couldn't have asked for more. today was my first day of clinicals and i enjoyed it so much. we went over vital signs and it was cool...my lady was so nice. so my day got off to a good start.

after aaron picked me up from my clinical site, we ate at four seasons and had their pad thai and pork fried rice with rome and mike....yummm!!! mike was so sweet...i didn't think mike knew it was my bday, but he did and he surprised me with a red rose...so sweet!

after eating, aaron n i headed home. i was the first one to walk in to find a balloon, bday cake, and flowers for me from the Baptistas. i was really shocked... we cut the cake and ate, of course.

we really didn't have any plans, but rome kept asking me to go study with him, but i really didn't feel like studying cuz i just had an exam last week. also, i thought to myself...i don't want to study on my bday!!! so i jus told him i didn't have anything to study for...

so i jus killed time on the comp. while aaron played his playstation 2 bball game. i was getting really frustrated cuz i've been searching all day for this community service/program that i have to observe for my nursing I class. everything i want to observe is off limits because of privacy purposes, but i really dont want to attend some program if i'm not gonna be interested in it...but, oh well...

anyhoo, aaron had to leave me cuz he told me "he had to get something for his mom". i was like ok, but after he left mike called me to study...i told him the same thing i told rome..i have nuthin to study for. i started to feel suspicious because whoa, both mike and rome ask me to go study with them at separately?!?!!?!? usually, they'd study LATE at night and TOGETHER...so i was like, ok...lemme go.

so mike picked me up, we went to shoprite, and then headed to his place so HE can study...i jus played with the comp. and played tetris on his gameboy. so ham and chewey came over...so NOT MUCH studying happened at all...then chewey and ham left. shortly after, mike says we have to go to rome's because "they were gonna work out". meanwhile, mike was receiving alot of calls...hehe

on the way to aaron's mike got a call and then went to radio shack because mike wanted to "check out their cd players". heheh after killing like 10 min. we left and then really headed to aaron's. we got to their aptmt and i noticed hammy's car so i gave mike a BIG smile...hehe

we rang the doorbell and then aaron openned the door with a big smile...he greeted me happy bday and then directed me to the kitchen...i was sooooooo surprised...my baby prepared me a special dinner!!! fine-dining style!!! fillet mignon with carrot mashed potatoes and sauteed string beans!!! presentation was beautiful n everything was delicious!!! i was so happy! my baby put so much work into this "surprise"!!! i couldn't have asked for more for my bday...

he really put his heart and soul into making my day so very special.

thanks baby...u denno how much more special you made my day! thanks for everything =*

and, ohhhh....

big happy 23rd birthday to my sister, jasmin!!! love ya, girl!!!

LARGE PEOPLE TALK ABOUT LARGE THINGS

MEDIUM PEOPLE TALK ABOUT MEDIUM THINGS

SMALL PEOPLE TALK ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE  . . .

so school has started and i've been pretty occuppied with alot of things.  i like nursing school so far, besides the drive, but i gotta do what i gotta do. the ppol are nice and so far the friends i've made are pretty cool.

it looks like i'll be M.I.A. for awhile.  going to school in perth amboy and working 2 part-time jobs is alot of work, but i'll manage.  there have been ppol in far more worse situations than i am in right now.  i jus gotta be focused, be organized, and learn to prioritize better. 

one thing that is good though, is that i get to see my sisters and nephews more. its amazing how quickly  kids grow.  i kinda missed that with geoffrey cuz i was away at rutgers, but now i can make up for missed time with AJ. 

things aren't as bad as i thought they would be.  my parents are finally divorced and things have been moving pretty smoothly.  both seem happier and that's a plus. 

other than that...everything is ok, i guess...

well, 'til next time...

Happy 23rd Birthday to JOEL!   We Miss You! 

and....

God Bless all those whom were affected by 9/11. 

You are all in my prayers.

WE WILL NEVER FORGET.

off to a bad start...

i woke up an hour late for work todat...doesn't that suck!!!

still been feeling blah about everything...but at least i have my work to keep me busy...

Everybody needs a little time away
I've heard her say
From each other

Even lovers need a holiday oooh
Far away from each other

Hold me now
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry
I just want you to stay
And after all that you've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise you

And after all thats been said and done
You're just the part of me I can't let go

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY IN HEAVEN, JOEL!!!

I MISS YOU...I REALLY DO...

i don't know if i will ever know what i want...i've jus been going with where the wind takes me...

maybe someday..right now i'm taking risks...

i just hope things work out for the best...
