Almost Halfway Through the Year..

I've noticed I haven't written in here for quite some time. San Fran was awesome and we had a good time.

The purpose of this post is to recap on what's been of this year and my, I'll say it has been a ride.

I set a few goals for myself in the new year and accomplished quite a few actually. Of course I stated previously that I changed my position at work from being Project Support to MIS Specialist which is exciting. I now accomplish more challenging things and am always learning something else.

Though, the biggest one would be I moved out. I knew there would be challenges but I didn't know how much exactly. For the most of 2010, I had been saving up a "Moving Out" fund to jump-start on everything that needed to be purchased and man, I'm glad I did. The expenses sure shot up in just 2 weeks.

Buying furniture, utensils, cleaning supplies, bathroom stuff, kitchen stuff, bed room stuff. I have yet to add up on much I spend in preparing. The other set of challenges was getting everything inside/putting it together. I have to say that it is coming together nicely though I'm still not 100% done (I'm sure I'll never be) but I am content.

The biggest change for me has been having my own schedule. I almost have some sort of groove set in, but I am very open to day to day changes. In fact I welcome them. This brings into my next goal which is getting more involved with one of my hobbies "modeling". I put quotations but I don't think of myself as one at all so when I think of a better term I will use it unforgivingly.

I have started into doing only paid work as it's worth the drive and time. I recently did a HD video workshop with Canon in Rockville, MD. Check out the link below:

It was an experience. Meeting the established photographers, working with them, interacting with the Canon team and the other model was a lot of fun. We did simple activities while they filmed and even went outside which caused quite a stir! I learned a few basics on editing film and now I'll be able to point out all of the pointers the presenters gave. I even got invited back to participate in another one when they return.

From that experience, I wouldn't mind doing more workshops to help people learn more about their hobby/career and to take it one more step further.

This is a new chapter in my life and I can feel changes taking affect even right now. More exciting updates to come!

30.3.2011

Some pictures and things make me miss my grandparents back when A. my grandpa was alive and B.they were in better health.

I hope to find a love I can grow old with one day and give my children endless opportunities and my grandchildren great inspiration for life.

Until then, I'll keep moving forward.

We've got a line in the sky

I like when my hair is tousled to the left and it feels unmanageable. Please stay like this.


I'm listening to Golden Earring "Radar Love". The beat is perfect for how I feel right now.

I believe I am growing more confident in the major I want to peruse. It's not in my comfort zone since there's not a specific job one can get after graduating.. but I believe I will be happier down the road because "outcomes" are what I am interested in doing the most.

I can take it all online and during the evening & work & move out and continually grow, mature and thrive.

Transferring in the fall may be in my future. Moving out may be in the near near future. I am as warm, crisp and chipper as this day is though my new vitamins may be doing it also. I feel untouchable.

Also San Fran is less than 1 month. The joy.
