I feel like I'm having a (PRE)Quarter-life Crisis.
Like PMS. Except for something even more painful than menstrual cramps.
Oh wait, was that TMI?
are you thinking of settling down and finding yourself a husband?
I’m definitely the relationship type. I don’t date just for the sake of dating. If I definitely can’t see anything long-term working out, homeboy is getting the boot! HAHA (but I’m serious).
Although I’m young, I do think about settling down one day and having a husband and a family…IF marriage turns out to be my vocation after all. I do want to get married eventually, God-willingly.
what's your take on interracial couples? do you know of any that are close to you?
Whatever works, works. Love is colorblind. And yes, I do know interracial couples that have been flourishing for years.
Day 10: What you wore today

Day 9: Your Beliefs
I am a practicing “Cradle Catholic”, trying to understand and learn more about my faith without slipping into the category of “Cafeteria Catholic”. Practicing Catholicism (or any religion) is not easy. It never is. But I know it’s not supposed to be.
In all honestly, I feel like for the past 2 months, I haven’t been as diligent about attending weekday masses, visiting the chapel, and going to confession. Because of this, I haven’t been in a state of peace/grace. Well, this changes tomorrow.

Day 8: A Moment.
Easter Sunday 2010, my family on my mom’s side gathered at my grandpa’s house in Hollywood. A mixture of American and Filipino food was sprawled across the dining table which has been there for several decades.
So here was my family, enjoying each other’s company, when a 7.2 earthquake shook Mexicali and the rest of Southern California. Suddenly everyone realized what was going on, as it truly felt like a boat rocking (and we’re 200+ miles away from the epicenter!).
Then there’s my grandpa. Nonchalantly eating peanuts from a jar and standing directly under a swinging chandelier only 4 inches away from the top of his head.
Everyone: PA, MOVE!
Papa: HAAAAH?! (Clearly, hard of hearing)
Everyone: Move! Earthquake! Get out of the way!
Papa: A what?
*Aunt proceeds to push him out of the way*
Immediately, my sister & I updated our Twitters (because that’s what Californians do after earthquakes—state the obvious through social media websites). Very reminiscent of the grandpa earthquake scene in “Freaky Friday” (the newer version with Lohan in it).

Day 7: Your Best Friend
I’ve been dreading this post.
I’m blessed to have more than one best friend, but it doesn’t change the fact that it stings when one stops trying. I want you to know that I still care, even if I feel left out in the dark.
Day 6: Your Day
- Probably pressed snooze on my alarm clock 4 times & woke up (late) at 7:45 A.M.
- Rushed through the morning make-up/wardrobe procedure and left for the court house around 8:10.
- Helped a litigant fill out divorce papers after a 2 month marriage to an alleged pathological liar from South Africa (um, what?).
- Went home, made pasta for lunch.
- Received USC acceptance letter in the mail, did a happy dance, looked at tuition costs, and proceeded to stop dancing.
- Spent the afternoon researching and making a list of pro’s/con’s. (Re)decided on CSULB.
- Hula-hooped…bought one earlier this week and am trying to use it 30 mins- 1 hr/day (supposedly this works, says my friend John Bajet and Michelle Obama).
- Ate dinner, took a shower.
- Crawled out from the rock I’ve been living under and watched “Inception” O___O
- Jennie’s going-away party.
- Denny’s with Genevee. Technically this is the next day and I shouldn’t be eating at 1AM, but I was sooooo hungry.
- Me: I got my acceptance letters from USC today. $41,000+/yr for tuition (not including housing + expenses)? HELL TO THE NAW.
- Mom: LOL. U can transfer next year maybe? Have over 100k to pay total for law school, ucr, grad school. Welcome to reality.
- Me: Reality sucks. I'm just going to get 500 degrees and defer til I die.
- Mom: Ok. As long as I don't have to pay for it. Ha ha.
- Yes, I did use "hell to the naw" while texting my mother.
Your easy lovin' ain't pleasin' nothin', baby.
yeah, yeah, yeah.
List of places I want to visit in the U.S.:
- New Orleans, LA (Again. I was 17 last time and I’m sure it’s much different 21+)
- Portland, OR
- New York, NY (Again. Same reasons as NOLA, but I was 16 in NY)
- Hawaii
- Boston, MA
- Washington, D.C. (I really want to see the White House & Supreme Court)
- Orlando, FL (Wizarding World of Harry Potter, duh)
- Philadelphia, PA
Hm. Must start saving. Or must find a career that pays for travel :)

Day 5- Your Definition of Love
Love: sacrifice; commitment; a strong feeling of passion towards that person/place/thing; wanting what is genuinely in the best interest of the other person; giving; demanding; enduring; self-donating…

Day 4-What You Ate Today
- Breakfast: Oatmeal, 1/2 cup Skim Milk, Banana
- Lunch: Chipotle Chicken Bowl (thanks, J.Rose!)
- Dinner: 3 ribs (Mom’s slow-cooked, couldn’t resist :\ ), Salad w/ light balsamic vinaigrette
- Snack: Yogurtland with Dara (pistachio/tart flavors, strawberries, mango, blueberries—8oz.)
Something I learned today: via Sparkpeople.com The 3 baby back ribs I ate contained more calories than the entire Chipotle Chicken Bowl I had. Doubled my cardio for the day as penance. Jillian Michaels totally kicked my butt.
