I am fortunate to have a wonderful family, supportive friends, and an amazing boyfriend. I have dreams for the future, but I live for today. Humble yourself, and forever be grateful.
One for daddy.. one for Tita.. one for Nanay… oh..
And then a bunch of tears fall.
Sometimes it’s so unreal to me Nay, maybe cause I could still feel your presence around me. You told us that you’d always watch over us, so I know you’ll still be there watching me as I walk.
I love you.. and I miss you everyday.
Okay my whole post isn’t about Glee, lol. But I can’t believe Glee made me cry so hard during its season finale. SPOILER ALERT FOR THE REST OF THIS PARAGRAPH!! Anyway, it was graduation and Rachel was supposed to marry Fin but instead they broke up so she can follow her dreams in New York.
Um, HI! Doesn’t that sound so familiar. Well yes I know it’s the cliche high school story that’s in every tv show series but it’s actually coming true. This is one of the many reasons why I always say “I’m afraid of the future”. I’ve also said this because I was unsure of what university I was going to go to, but I’ve clearly solved that issue :) but the step AFTER that. I’ve always wanted to be an optometrist. However there are NO optometry graduate programs in Washington. Closest place is Oregon, then California, then the rest are towards the East Coast. In the next few years, I’ll be moving out of this place for SURE. As much as I ramble a lot about how much I want to move back home to Cali… I’ve realized I have so much here.. My immediate family, my boyfriend, my friends, my job that I worked so hard to expand-and it surely did. Will I have to learn to get enough courage and let go? Are my dreams still stronger and would I have to say good bye like Rachel Berry?
I like living in the present. Usually I shrug it off and say “Im happy now, why think about the negative things when it hasn’t even happened yet?”. I guess that’s what I’ll be telling myself the next two years.
I believe I have a huge tumblr problem. The issue is that I don’t know what type of blogger I want to be. Sometimes I want to sit there and reblog everything. Sometimes I want to vent. I didn’t like doing both so I’d toss back and forth between the two. Then I’d just stop going on tumblr completely. Now I’m just forgetting about it and doing whatever. lol, oh well.
I’m so excited to say that I’m graduating next month from Highline! It’s about time. None of my friends want to walk because they think it’s no big deal. I can see where they’re coming from. To be completely honest, the main reason why I want to be a part of the commencement is because my dad will be there. My dad had a stroke on my high school graduation and I have many mixed feelings about it (including selfish ones). I just want to break out of that memory and relive a new one. I just want my dad to see me in a cap and gown and watch me accomplish something. I want him to be proud of me.
I applied to one university. That wasn’t the original plan, I knew I wanted to stay somewhere close by because of my job at home but I was going to see my potential by applying to all the “typical” universities in the state. My grandma’s illness worsened in January which kept me occupied til her passing in March. That was when all the transfer applications were due. I managed to get far, but I didn’t have enough time to gather enough recommendation letters and college reports.
I contacted the private school I wanted to intend and luckily they were still willing to accept my application. I just received my acceptance letter a few days ago. I’m happy to say that I’ll be attending the University of Puget Sound in fall.
I’m really excited about this. I love the thought of going to a private school.. I guess that’s what’s sorta “strange” about me compared to most of the people I know. I guess I’ve never really been the social type that enjoys huge campuses and that high “college” life. I don’t wanna leave my home. Lol, I wanna live with my mom, take care of my grandma, and watch my sister grow up a little more. The smaller population and student/teacher relationships would help me get into biology programs much easier than in a large public school. I also learned that UPS graduates have a high acceptance rate getting accepted into grad programs and medical schools. Hopefully this will be a great option for me.
I’m happy to start a new chapter in my life. Knock down one degree, and get one step closer to achieving my dream. Except… I start school on Aug 28 :’( WTF. SCHOOL ON MY BIRTHDAY?? THAT NEVER HAPPENS. Womp.
Always cry just by watching this last scene..
Then Topanga goes, “Do you mean do well?” and he replies, “No, I mean do good”
Love Boy Meets World!

My goal is to help my family save hundreds of dollars through couponing so that they can use that money towards the stuff they enjoy.
