Ch Ch Changes (8)
Physically —
(01) Rompers: I’ve become accustomed to wearing at least one romper a week. They’re so comfortable and not to mention cuuute. Every time I go shopping, I can’t leave a clothing store w/o a new romper (unless they aren’t sold there).
(02) Make-up: Well, I never really wore make-up… ever. Now, I enjoy daily eye-liner, occasional mascara and eye shadow, concealer (esp. w/these eye bags), and sometimes powdered minerals on my face just for kicks.
(03) Nail polish: I absolutely hate my nails being nude. For my nails, I like both bright and dark colors including red, blue, navy blue, purple, brown, pink, etc. But for my toes, I stick to dark colors. Most of the time, my toes are midnight blue, black, or plum. I just couldn’t wear nail polish here in Cali because of all the hospital visits I had. They hate having to remove my nail polish before testing me. Meanies!
(04) Footwear: I love shoes! Forever a Chuck Taylor kinda girl. I’ve owned at least 20 pairs of converse since like the sixth grade. They’re my favorite! However, I do own a pair of vans (I plan on purchasing at least two more because they have cute designs like HK and the military-based ones); heels are a new addition to my life because they’re sophisticated-looking, and flip flops are essential w/the occasional sandals but gladiators aren’t for me.
(05) Jewelry: I’m in love w/pearls! Since the fifth grade, my aunty has been buying me a pair of pearl earrings, necklaces, and bracelets every other year! On the real, I only own one real pair of earrings and one real necklace, which I wear only for special occasions.
(06) Hair: Before everyone started getting highlights and dyeing their hair wild colors (except for my friend ZK), I really wanted pink streaks (inspired by Avril Lavigne), but I didn’t really wanna bleach my hair (I guess you can call me chicken). Now, I know a handful of girls who have great peekaboos and streaks. Conclusion: Not gonna get highlights or streaks until the trend dies down. New hairstyle MAYBE or even just a different color all in all will do. Different semester, different me.
(07) Piercings & Tattoos: I’ve been wanting to get my belly button pierced. Just haven’t found the right ring yet! I ordered a hello kitty one on e-bay, but I never got it. This reminds me. I gotta check on that. o_O Searching for a cuuute ring like HK, Rasta colored, or a Skull (not the pirate looking ones). LMK if you know any good places to find one, so I can pierce my tummy already. Haha. On another note, I’ve been a firm believer in never getting a tattoo because I thought the blood would remain bad foreverrrrr. Just last month, I found out that your blood is only bad for like six months, then all is norm again soooo I changed my mind about tattoos. I want to put ‘promise’ on my pinky because pinky promises are suuuper important to me. And I want a tattoo like MC under my left breast. Gonna save up for these. Maybe I’ll get them during my senior year in college.
Mentally —
(01) I hate being called dude. I know it’s become such a norm for people to refer to other people as ‘dude’ or to express and/or initiate a conversation w/ ‘dude’ but I really don’t like it. Most people who talk to me and call me that know right off the bat to apologize. It just reallllllly bothers me. Sure, if you call me dude just because you’re used to using that term in almost all of your sentences, then I’ll understand. But if you call me dude in hopes of irritating the fuck out of me, fuck off.
(02) I have this better outlook on life. When I arrived in Cali and talked to my doctor about what I’ve been feeling (health-wise) and also when I took the heart tests, in line for possible surgery, I felt much enlightened. I’ve become much more of a positive and spontaneous person than I was before, but with a decrease on carelessness. No more stupid choices or doing things just because I felt like it was the right thing to do. Sure that contradicts the whole spontaneous incline, but I’m forever a contradiction (at least I have meaning). I’m loving to live and living to love. Love is such a powerful feeling and happiness usually follows, so here’s to life, love, and happiness (even if that sounds hella cliche and corny).
BASICALLY, THIS POST IS TO EXPLAIN WHY IT SEEMS LIKE I’VE CHANGED. HOPE ALL YOUR QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED, YOU INQUISITIVE/CURIOUS PEOPLE, WHO JUDGE ME AND QUESTION WHY I SEEM DIFFERENT. NO, I’M NOT REBELLING OR CHANGING FOR ANYONE. JUST ME. ACCEPT IT OR GTFO. IDGAF. TOODLES. :)

I always sound like an overrated storybook when I tell people I’m lucky to have fallen in love with my best friend, but I just can’t help but feel blessed. Blessed that things always find their way back to restoration. From our pointless arguments to the consistent frustration we’d put each other through, our relationship is plainly unbreakable. There are many conflicting issues in our relationship that we continue to experience from distance to time or from having too much common interests to a lack of acceptance of each other’s bad habits. In spite of all our differences, we somehow manage to find ourselves fighting to keep our relationship alive.
“It’s not everyday where you’ll find someone that’s willing to be your best friend and your boyfriend. You’ll playfully tickle each other, tease each other, pinch each other, squeeze each other until they say stop. But in the end, you’ll hug each other like there’s no tomorrow. You can confide secrets to each other as if they’re the only ones you can trust, you’ll help each other out and even offer advice. But having a relationship as both lovers and best friends is the best kind.”
A few days ago, everything was going downhill. We disagreed on almost everything. I questioned our relationship and almost convinced myself that we might not make it out of the burning pit of fury together. Our heart to heart conversation helped us so much. Even with all the crying and colliding with influence, we pushed our way through the heat and carried each other out, feeling stronger than ever. “You’re my constant”, you whispered. And I couldn’t help but enter this sky-high, floating state of happiness with superior faith and strength riding my veins. Brandon Joseph’s a keeper.<3
