Chall-UNGE!! (9 Loves Post)

Technically, I'm late but I've been awake since 8p 1/25 so in my mind it's Wednesday lol... Anywho, on to the post.

9 Loves

Music... Genre is irrelevant. If it sounds good & can evoke an emotion from me, it's a winner in my book

Potatoes. It's more of a love/hate thing... I love how they taste but hate what they do do my shape.

Reading. Kinda the same thing as with music.

Nick At Nite

Banana Laffy Taffy

Writing random words on my notepad when I'm at work.

Road trips!!... well travelling period.

Texting & Talking to that special someone.

Spa Days!!!

Ok that's it for this one. I'll be back later today to do the next one..

More Frequent posts!!! YAY!!

So I FINALLY got another laptop!! WOOHOO!!!!... And as promised, I will start to post more frequently... I decided that I would try to get into the swing of things by doing this little challenge I saw when I was reading This Blog (her name is Adri) ..... plus I figured it would be a good way to get more people reading my blog.... No?? Whatever!!! Here goes lol

10 Secrets Things That Won't Be Secrets Anymore lol

1. I'm really not a sociable person at all.... I'd much rather be at home by myself flipping channels or reading.

2. I think I have a great personality, but I think if I lost weight people would like me more.

3. Speaking of weight, I have a HUGE crush on this guy, but I won't tell him for fear that he won't like me bc I'm not skinny.

4. I think I'm lowkey addicted to sodas... whenever I try to stop drinking them, I get the worst headaches & attitude..

5. I've never watched an episode of Glee... & I'm not ashamed!!

6. I practice my dance moves in the mirror, but when I get out, I never execute them bc I don't wanna look foolish lol

7. I most definitely need to work on a closer walk with God... I'm ashamed at how I've let myself backslide.

8. I sometimes question who I really am bc I have mastered the ability to adapt to my surroundings

9. I will be 25 in 3 days & I can count on one hand how many decisions I've made based solely on my feelings.. smh

10. I can be very judgemental of others at times... I'm working on it though.

Welp! That about does it for this post... Hope yall enjoy.. if not, don't tell me! lol jk...

2012 so far...

It's been almost a month since my last post so I figured it was time for a short update...

First off, I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!!! I had a blast on both... Ok on to the updates..

• I took the 1st entrance exam to the nursing program and I made a 96%!!! SWAG ME OUT!!!! Now I have to take the remaining 2 sections... hopefully I can make comparable scores on those as well...

• My 25th birthday is 2 weeks away & I don't really have any spectacular plans but I'm UBER excited about it.... 

• I got a new phone lol... & I'm in the process of narrowing down my decision on a laptop so more frequent posts are right around the corner... I still haven't fully committed to a "days of the week" theme.... but I'll have that figured out by the time I get the laptop... 

• I hate the cliche "new year new me" mindsets that people tend to embrace around this time, but for some reason, I feel a new sense of self coming into fruition.. God is amazing & I can feel Him moving in my life... Positivity is a MUST in 2012!!

Well that's pretty much the 1st 2 weeks of 2012 in a nutshell....

Hasta La Pasta!!!

Random...

Hey yall.. Just wanted to say hi & give a quick update...
Ummm let's see... since I last blogged, I found out that one of the girls I always see out & about is actually my cousin!!! We used to play & everything when we were younger.. Crazy right?? lol
I also found out  that I may have a younger sister who is 13... smh... I can't help but wonder what God is preparing me for by revealing these things to me after almost 25 years.
Praying for a spirit of continued discernment...

I know this post is totally random but so what!! lol

A Quick Rant...

I'm SO tired of living my life to please other people... Tired of the overly critical nature of my family. They constantly remind me of all that I have failed to accomplish. They do it "jokingly" but it's ALL. THE. TIME!!! They never dwell on my accomplishments (though very few).. as a matter of fact, the positive things that I've done are never even acknowledged. No one wants to always have their past actions/situations thrown in their face... especially when they are less than becoming..

I know I have to get away from it all soon though. Everyday I regret coming here & I regret not doing what I wanted to do instead of what others wanted me to do. I regret living for them & not myself. & I definitely regret giving into the guilt trips that are constantly thrown my way when my own opinion varies from theirs.
I'm tired of living my life in regret of what could have been. But I digress.. All I can do at this point is take steps to rectify the problem. Let's hope I know what I'm doing.

Just Because...

Just stopping by to say hi :-)
I've been on a blogger following spree of sorts... Getting lots of inspiration from the posters here... Hopefully I can use some of the ideas I'm seeing in my own personal life & style.

Good Hair

I definitely dont intend to make this "multiple posts per day" thing a habit, but I have a lot on my mind & if I'm closer to a computer than to my notebook well......

Anywho, I was sitting at work aimlessly playing in my hair & I happened to stretch one of my curls all the way out to look at it. My coworker says "Wow Tierra, I didnt know your hair was actually long".. My response was "(-.-)".. I know she wasnt trying to be rude, but it kind of offended me... *cuss* this shrinkage!!

I've been completely natural since Feb 21, 2011 (the day I BC'd). & I've been seriously contemplating either another BC or a relaxer. After doing my share of research, I just think that I would be able to take better care of my hair this time around & really maximize the strength of my hair in it's relaxed or natural state. I LOVE LOVE LOVE being natural & the journey that the process has taken me on, but my hair was never really even and as it gets longer, that's becoming more evident lol.... Not to mention the fact that for me, relaxed hair is easier & cheaper to maintain...

IDK though. I guess I'll see what happens... Opinions are appreciated!!!
