Greets!
Today I had a very loud shouting argument with a TV because of the great excitement it gave me watching the Bulls Vs. Celtics basketball playoff game! The standing stood as 3-2 Celtics to Bulls, so if the Bulls had lost the game today they would have been eliminated from the playoffs, but the Bulls won! The Bulls were never considered a strong team I believe, except when MJ was on it...
I always get inspired when I watch underdogs take the win. They fight and fight to the finish for the win, for what they deserve, for what's right. They do their best and put their hearts in their actions. And you know a true underdog when all odds are against them, all labels put on an underdog make it seem like they're in it to lose, but once they break those low expectations it is the most inspiring and moving act ever.
But what's even better than seeing underdogs win, is yourself being cast as an underdog and taking the victory - in whatever action.
Achieving your dreams is something that is not supposed to be fueled, in my honest opinion, to show off to others. But showing others that they were completely wrong with their judgment and prejudice is a definite plus ; ).
As an underdog, we hold a great responsibility. We mustn't let others define us as incompetent of being able to achieve our dreams.

List of things I did
Hey guys,
Just a quick thing to add to the list of things I've done:
-Sang karaoke in front of the senior class.
Hahaha, that's how it feels to perform by singing! Feels great too, well for me but I'm not so sure my audience. Hope they weren't in agony. Eeek.
Tomorrow's another relaxed day, but it's not a late start Wednesday when I wish it was. Instead, there's a senior talent show and I'm a little nervous about it! Wish me luck!

Intense
Hola
I've done a lot of things in my life. I've done a lot of great things that I've been proud of. And contrarily I've don't a lot of stupid things. Which I may not be so proud of but I still did them.
There's one thing I still have to do before I leave high school. Intensive. Not dance intensive, not work intensive, no no no. The AP test are acomming. I have exams in AP Chem and AP Calc.
Now of course I usually wouldn't care for such examinations, I'm almost done with high school and they don't affect my grade. BUT something about these tests really riled me up.
I paid $86 - EACH.
That's more moolah than all the SATs, ACTs, and Dance Audtions/classes I've taken in my life - COMBINED.
Mister and Misses - I'm getting my credits due for those. And as far as I'm concerned - everything else is a blur...
I'm "Integral e^xy"

(Yes, I did just blog about a test.)

I'm on it.
Hey everyone.
I think I can vouch for anybody when I said this: It's nice to have time. Time do whatever you want, to waste it, use it, have fun with it, cherish it. It's borrowed though because never forget, we are on all on God's time - It's never our time.
I think we can all say also that we are all blessed. Call it a blessing or a blessing in disguise, it doesn't matter - both are all one in the same. What matters is how you use your blessings, and personally I've just realized that. We gotta use'em or lose'em.
God's been answering my prayers. Sometimes the answer doesn't come in my terms, but He answers me. All I had to do was listen and follow.
Change. I've always been iffy on about the word to tell you the truth. But now I can see it's the only for sure thing. But I look at it this way, the only change I support is the change for the better. I wouldn't have change any other way. That's the type of person I am - growth for the better, for the good, and that's my stance. Can't knock me - Take it or leave.
I've been dragged down too long by trying to change things I simply cannot. I'll rid myself the baggage and pray for the better - when I've tried the best I can that's the best I can do then after.
"Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone. I love you and that's all I really know" - T. Swift
I long for the day I can say those words to that one special person. Until then, I'm dumbfounded by those who can utter those powerful words. I mean, seriously - astonished. That's all you really know? Really? Are you sure? For sure? To be in that state of being, when all you know is worthless - all your schooling, all the adages of tales you've heard over the course of your very existence on earth as a human being - that you're at that point when you only know one secure thing and that's it - when you know that you love someone and that is all you know is when you know you've found a union only made by the divine.
Stuff like that takes my pondering mind to places I cannot fathom. The innate sense and longing of being in love. Only God made that.

P.S.: Want to hear a masterpiece?

Beautiful Day.
I Feel Great! : )
Sleeping is awesome guys. I had two sleepless nights (and a lot of coffee...mmmm hazelnut), and last night was unproductive in the sense that I didn't do much awake, but I slept and had wonderful dreams.
And when I woke up I could breathe, I didn't have a headache, and I'm looking forward to school! There's a food fair today, and I expect to eat my fill. I've never had a lunch where I could just focus on food fair, I was either busy too busy to admire it, or too broke to buy anything.
But something did happen yesterday before I went to sleep. I was driving around and I hit a red light...the weird thing about it was that it never turned green. As a law abiding citizen, this threw me off.
Have a great day everyone. I'm going to literally smell everything and the roses.

Simple.
Hi guys!
Yesterday I had a pretty sweet day. I hit up Starbucks with one of my best friends Brittany : ) and we had a good talk and conversation. You can peep part of it later on Youtube we plan to upload it soon. And after, we spontaneously took out Krissy to Camden park and just walked around the whole place. We were pretty stoked that the weather was not how it was predicted to be, it was nice and sunny/cloudy. I loved it!
I think that's one of the best things to do on days. I really love friends that can stay unconnected for a long period of time and come together one day and catch up like the distance and time away was no biggie. Those are the friends I love to keep and hope to keep throughout my life, and I'm lucky with a special few : ) Thanks guys!
Mutual Complex is revving up for a 2009 year filled with opportunities to show the world and all of you guys how much we really love each other and dance. If you can, peep us out this Friday, April 17. We're preforming in Berkeley, CA as a part of a fundraiser for Relay For Life thanks to Heather Graviet of CAL : ). Also, my uncle/cousin Jojo and talented JD are both a part of Mutual now. I'm happy they are there, and it's cool to know that what we stand for is growing. We're all happy to be out there performing and all the support is much appreciated, we're thankful for all who give their time to stop by and check us out.
To me, the best of my days are simple. I like it best that way. I wish I could say the same about my room and car, because simply they are not the business right now haha. Today I plan to clean up and organize out everything. What's better than starting the day to a clean room and riding clean?
I got to admit, one of my most favorite part of Spring is waking up to the sun. My room is oriented thankfully to where the sun rises. For school, this never happens but during spring break I get to wake up a little later than usual, and I leave my blinds open a little, and when the sun gets up there's nothing better than being woken up by the bright sun.

I died.
Whoa, emoootional right? Nah, but the title fits.
No, I didn't really die, but I did have not blogged for a while. Now that spring break's here I feel not as pressed for time...in some senses.
I really admire Taylor Swift. I've been listening to her album "Fearless" for a while, and I really like everything she's saying. The "White Horse" music video was really well set too. I think the best thing that makes her different, Is the fact that when she writes songs she isn't afraid to name the people she's writing about.
For example, she has a song called "Hey Stephen"..and "Forever and Always" is about the breakup between her and Joe Jonas, who IMHO is a jerk because she broke up with her (although his argument made him sound better, he's stiLl a jerk for doing it over the phone).
Some people think It's juvenile of Taylor to write songs about people with their names in the song/meaning. I had thought this way too, and that argument maKes sense, but I think she's smart Enough to acknowledge that. So after thinking about it again, I now think and believe it's deeper, and as far as I'm concerned she's gutsY and herOic. She's doing what many people can't - explain how she feels.
And I admire that. Sure, it coUld have been more conventional, you know like through the phone and in an email or in person or something, but taking into consideration the gift God gave her to write and sing, she did what she does, and who can be mad at that. It's how she expresses herself, and if my name were to end up in any name of the song of her's I'd bet I Deserved it.
I wish I could be as strong as her ; )
And I feel stressed for time still because even the most beautiful flowers die. I confess that too. I've just been scared in a lot of senses but hopefully you can love me for my imperfections.
Spontaneous Spring Break '09 is here, let's kick it!
