Ash Wednesday

Sadly I was not able to receive ashes on my forehead this year. I was going to attend the Service at school but unfortunately I had class and I couldn't ditch it because of the fact that I had a Midterm to take. Alas I am finally free for the next few weeks til the next set of midterms.

Lenten Sacrifices:
No more Shopping for unnecessary things.
No more meat :(
(I'm thinking of one more worthy thing to give up)

twenty-four

Mardi Gras = Fat Tuesday
Breakfast: Tomato, Avocado, Mozzarella Omelet w/hash browns
Lunch: 1 and 1/2 Crunchwrap Supreme from Taco Bell.
Dinner: Baja Fresh: Burrito Ultimo in Enchilada sauce.

I am stuffed.

I'm sorry I've been too busy to blog, I am in the middle of Midterms week and it is definitely killing me.
Time for another sleepless night. toodles

2 Midterms tomorrow :( boo life.

blood drive

Today was the second time I was able to donate blood. I know how much my pint of blood can help save lives, and so that's why I did it. Despite the fact that I already knew it was going to hurt like no other again. It hurt more this time than last time. Other than that, today was somewhat productive. I got some studying done in the library, but unfortunately its not over, the night is still young and geography is going to be my enemy. goodnight.

Happy Birthday Dad!

Thank you for the trip to New York. It was fun. I loved the experience of the city. Despite all its hustle and bustle the environment is different and fast paced. Soon I will come back to New York. homework time.

...new york nights

:) amazing. delightful. stuffing.

gone

for NEW YORK
February 20-22.

see ya later Californians.

twisted

A LOT ran through my mind today.
School was eh.
Buffalo Exchange is the best.
Got my work schedule for next week.
Bought sunglass. electric blue.
Game Night Rush Event tonight was amazing :)
I had a lot of fun even if the room was confined.
yay, NEW YORK this weekend! can't wait.

here comes the sun

after days of non-stop rain the sun decided to come out and play today. Unfortunately I will most likely be indoors today working on plans for the upcoming months. This weekend I am going to New York for my dad's birthday which is also to visit my sister. I'm excited to see the city at an age in which I know I would appreciate it more. I also want to be able to dress all warm and fashionable with my sisters. Even though I'll only be spending about 1 day/night there, I am happy that I get to see my sister. I see her through videochat but its not the same. Today and Tomorrow I will be searching for Boots in which I can wear comfortably on my trip. Leather preferred, maybe a small heel? Since I haven't made an outfit I took the time to put together this outfit. It has that cool crisp look. I think the blue gives that affect on me.

I've been downloading super Old School music and it makes me reminisce about the days when music was GOOD.
have a wonderful Wednesday

Tonight: Shopping w/ jessika. heart2heart. Rush Event. Phil's Birthday Dinner :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHIL!!

wow wow wee

:) today was very...different. this is how it went:
_Grandma knocks on my door asking "what time are you waking up" and so I go back to sleep waiting for my alarm to wake me up naturally
_I noticed how good my sleep was and then I checked the time and it was 7:40AM meaning I had to make it to school in less than 20min for my 8AM Lab.
_Thank goodness Clarice motivated me to go and attend so I made it by 8:45AM. Luckily we had a substitute and he was more than happy to let me come late.
_I left to go home because I was horribly dressed in my sweatpants, CSULB sweater (covered in fur) and my Nike Frees.
_At home I changed. baked blueberry muffins and then headed back to school.
_Stayed at the Library for a couple of hours.
_Hungout with Brent (HUBBY).
_Special Events meeting @5pm
_General Body Meeting @7pm

Long day. It was hailing on the drive to school this morning. I am tired. Tomorrow should be fun :)

lately

I've felt uninspired to blog.
_Happy Birthday Joseph.
_Rain today was unbelievably insane.
_it flowed rivers/waterfalls down stairs.
_socks and shoes were soaked.
_went to all 3 classes.
_worked 3pm-7:15pm
_feet were killing me being in heels for about 7-8hrs straight.
_relaxed at home.

Tomorrow is Tuesday, my busiest day of the week :P
I have to start packing things for this weekend. and I am in need of some boots or something.and some warm accessories. :) yay for NEW YORK.

I am still craving French Toast.

step back

and look at what you've accomplished til this day. In one way or the other, I've made a huge change in myself and in others lives I hope. It is the little things in life that I've learned to appreciate most. After feeling as if I've already been in the position in which the world hated me and things would always go wrong, I've come to believe that I've overcame all of that. I'm tired. Sleep sounds good right about now.

Valentine's Day 2009

was a decent day. I didn't mind not being with anyone specific because I had dinner with the three most amazing guys in my life. Sushi and the company of friends makes me happy. This morning we made valentines day cards for those who live in a convalescent home. Then ate McDonadls 10pc chicken nuggets with large fries and a drink. Worked from 1pm-6pm. and then had dinner with Allan, Roland, and Jason at I <3>

Rush Event #3:

too tired. and too much to do. I'll blog more tomorrow.
wish me luck!

beat your heart out

Woke up at 4am to work on homework. School went by quick today. Work used my on-call from 3pm-6pm. I got stuck in traffic for a horrible hour. Dinner was simple. Slice of chocolate cake made me happy. Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy episodes 13 are awesome. Filipino Tele-series are my favorite. Tomorrow is going to be an interesting and active day. Tennis, Capture the Flag :) yay! now some alone time with...Chemistry

Rush Event #1:

Info Night!
Very informative, there was a good turnout on Rushees who attended. I also think things went somewhat smoothly minus the technical difficulties, but overall we worked amazingly with whatever we had. I am hoping the rest of this week, gets better each day. School was fun today. Well Lab with clarice was hilarious. and being home alone in the afternoon is quite peaceful :) time for some homework. toodles

video blog failed :P

hahaha so I think yesterdays' video blog will be my last one. Due to some complaints haha jk i'm just going to hold off on those til I get familiar with how to convey information without being boring or some sort. Today's rainfall was amazing :) I can't seem to express how much I just love it when the rain pours. Rain seems like a cleansing of the earth in which everything is washed and is left clean and refreshed. Enough about rain, and more about me :) Lately I've been more happy, down to earth, and more determined to do better in what has been given to me. With Alpha Phi Omega, I've been devoting a good amount of time to the position I hold in order to make sure that during my term I did the best I could do and so that one day someone can say "I remember that one fellowship Kayla did..." As for friends, all I can really say is that we are all BUSY doing our own thing. A lot of us have our own tasks to carry out and so sometimes we are so focused on one thing more than the other. Yet somehow, some way we are able to settle down for even at least a few minutes to an hour to just catch up on how the other is doing. I like that. I like being able to go to my best friends. no matter how long we haven't spoken, and to be able to just talk as if nothing changed. For my family, I know times are tough, and we learn to work together in order to help one another. I love how close we are even if we tend to always seem annoyed or upset. I must admit as much as I think my mother is annoying, I love her to death :P

Navy Update: It is still in my thoughts. The idea of leaving and going away is exciting, but at the same time I fear the things that I cannot experience until I actually go. Such as boot camp, basic training etc. I know I'm a baby and I would probably have constant emotional breakdowns, but I need that push to be able to live a life that is unordinary and honorable. If I were to change the world, joining would definitely be a good start.

I'm done with school for the day. and I have Soup Kitchen Volunteering tonight from 5:00pm-7:30pm, I'm pretty excited. It's going to be monday #2 in a row! Rush week starts on Tuesday! I'm SUPER EXCITED.

trial&error

funerals.

attending two funerals in one day is so harsh on the heart...
I can't imagine it is the 6th death this year :( and it is barely february. I'm hoping to God nothing else bad happens. The funerals were sad but I'm glad I got to see my god-mother, and old friends.

Work today was alright. Pretty busy for a Saturday night but productive at least :) I decided to wear my 4.5in heels and I survived 3hrs in them, then decided to switch into my sandals for the last hour of closing. It wasn't too bad even if my feet felt like they were going to fall off.

After work Allan and I decided to grab some dinner at Bjs and I didn't eat as much when I felt like I could've eaten a cow. I ended up ordering a turkey sandwich and allan ordered nachos (btw one of my absolute favs from there). We didn't finish either so I packed up the sandwich and gave it to him, as I picked at the leftover soggy nachos. We then headed over to S&G's Starbucks and had a chat over some hot chamomile tea for me and a iced black tea strawberry for allan. I must say, it was pretty freezing outside, but having the hot cup of tea in my hand felt amazing. The drive home wasn't too bad. I obnoxiously screamed at the top of my lungs to songs by Kelly Clarkson :)
goodnight. I'm pooped.

blurb #1

have you ever sneezed while driving and as every normal person would do, you'd close your eyes in the moment of your sneeze. So do you ever stop to think that something could happen within that second of your eyes being closed? especially if it was a big sneeze. haha it's a random thought.

Today was pretty chill. I had a meeting this morning to become certified to book rooms for Alpha Phi Omega events. Then after I got home and was able to take my sister to the long beach port for her 3-day cruise to Ensenada. After all that I headed over to Roland's house and we watched my Filipino Dramas then I knocked out on the couch :P til about 4ish. That was when we decided to head over to Allans house. but once we got there we had to leave because Roland and I had to go welcome Rose back from her Kairos retreat at St. Josephs. Going back there brought me back to a lot of high school memories from the past. We all then went to eat at Gerry's Grill after which was pretty bomb filipino food but I seem to like homecooked filipino food better :) after saying by to Rolands family. Allan, Roland, and I walked over to this place called Pastries & Cafe. They had some bomb ass filled croissants. Then we stood outside in the rain for the longest time. I wish I brought my umbrella :\.

Rain is my favorite. Makes me Happy.

this semester...

barely started and it's already killing me. I've been super exhausted. Although I've been more physically active due to tennis and the other sports we play. Today it rained. and the bad news was that there were 2 viewings to attend to today. that is TWO different deaths. counting as number 5/6th time someone died this year. and it's only February. I fear something bad is going to happen this year but I hope to God nothing will.

SHOOTOUT2009

was amazing.
The point of the event was to score a lot of points depending on the designated areas on the court to shoot from in only 30 seconds. For the womens I got to play with Kim, and we made it to second round but lost. and for the co-ed team, I played with my Lil but we didn't score anything. Despite the losing streak, it was really fun to be able to hangout with people I care about. So far Week of Welcome and passing out flyers to join AlphaPhiOmega is stressful but it's getting the job done so I'm hoping we receive a good turn out this semester.

Nowadays Life seems more simple and relaxed. School is going to get tougher in a couple of days, but I'm handling. I wanna make sure everything I plan while being on excom will be memorable in one way or another. I believe it is time for me to say goodnight :)

high heels.

Boho2 - by kaylakayyy on Polyvore.com

I bought the shoes I've been wanting all weekend, which is the picture included in my ensemble I put together up there. It cost me $30 from target, which is a good deal, because I was going to spend $60+ at either Aldo or Cathy Jean. and so half the price and the similar look won my vote. but damn they are 4.5in high. I love how comfortable they are but I am a little hesitant wearing them out. I like loud articles of clothing that makes a statement that you have a sense of being different through style. At first these shoes used to bother me. But as time passed I've learned to like them much better.

Today was fun. School was its usual educational self. Allan and Roland came to visit and Allan was nice enough to buy us lunch from the Loft. (Thank you and sorry for the hassle). My favorite part of the day was TENNIS not only with my Lil but with other APO bros too. I'm glad everyone came out to play and added a little physical fitness to their daily life. GBM was very inspiring and I am so unbelievably thankful for all the people present in my life. I'm just having too good of a day :) I'm all in a good mood today and watch, tomorrow ends up crappy. haha I'll laugh hysterically.

happy ME!

I had a good day. hopefully it'll be a good week. I attended Soup Kitchen today at the Long Beach rescue Mission and I have to admit, it is now one of my favorite services. Just to see the smiles in those people's faces made me happy to know that they were able to receive a good warm meal for the night.

As a healthy treat I randomly grabbed some Vine Sweet Mini Peppers and Italian vinaigrette from Costco, and munched on them while watching Gossip Girls and One Tree Hill. Those peppers are NOT spicy at all and has a sweet fresh flavor.

Tomorrow I am excited for Tennis. and Meeting :)

fabulous february :)

you better be a good month!
Things have been incredibly chaotic right now, but I am going to just keep pushing in the same direction regardless. And in order to deal with massive amounts of confusion, because I can't hold out forever, my solution is, I'm going try to find some stability in my life.

I must admit, my yahoo horoscopes have been inspiring lately...
"Dating is like mining for valuables on a beach -- you sift through lots of sand before you get to the good stuff. And that's just how it is. Use these opportunities to refine your qualifications. Are you really seeking and meeting people who fit your ideal?"


Diva2 - by kaylakayyy on Polyvore.com

This outfit is one of my favorites because, BLUE so happens to be my favorite color. and the vibrant color makes the black and gray more appealing to the eye. The tights, have a jean material look to it, when it is really made out of spandex. And isn't that panda necklace adorable? :)

Day off today. Excomm Meeting at 5pm. I have some REALLY good events to plan, so it should be an exciting semester. Just wait and see!
