It was an awesome year and a half, but now it’s time to move on and get myself focused with the things that really matters: my relationship with God. After numerous attempts to get my attention through whispers and subtle signs, God has finally decided to put his foot down and come in a booming thunderclap. I’ve shed some tears about the whole situation but ultimately, I am at peace. Tears are only natural after a life-changing experience, but I know that this isn’t meant meant for my harm. It’s forcing me to take a step back, take a breather, and reevaluate my priorities. I’m all Yours.

I want to punch myself in the face for not taking the opportunity when it was presented to me on a gold tray. I also want to punch myself for wishing I had. I don’t know. This will be the death of me.

My baby sister’s teeth are finally growing in. Officially 7 teeth in already!

Overall, I think it’s a good time to have a girl in the 21st century because things are changing, with more opportunities for women. But girls are still the underdog, which means they’ll work harder, and everybody loves an underdog. The next Steve Jobs will totally be a chick, because girls are No. 2—and No. 2 always wins in America. Apple was a No. 2 company for years, and Apple embodies a lot of what have been defined as feminine traits: an emphasis on intuitive design, intellect, a strong sense of creativity, and that striving to always make the greatest version of something. Traditionally, men are more like Microsoft, where they’ll just make a fake version of what that chick made, then beat the shit out of her and try to intimidate everybody into using their product.

Because my younger brother is in Hilo for Youth Challenge, his only means of communication with us is through letters. At least once a week, he sends an index card with a scripture and a note just for me. Today, the scripture was Ephesians 4:26. In your anger, do not sin. Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry. The highlight of his note was pretty much this: “The Bible does not tell you not to be angry, it tells you to control your anger. Mom tells me you and Pono are fighting a lot lately. Treat Jayann as you guys’ daughter and don’t fight in front of her. Or whatever. LOL.” Hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaa. Ummm….ok?!?!!?!

• A new phone. Because mine is crappy already.
• New shoes. For work. And for school.
• A clarisonic mia x_x i hope mom gets it!
• Gift cards. So i can shop for myself because I’ve refrained from it to finish Christmas shopping.
• Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner…best eyeliner evaaaaaaa.
• New car mats! lol, the waterproof ones.

That is all.

I love work. I love my homies there. HAHA. I’ve never been so close to all of them! I have officially become one of the crazies who go in even when they’re not scheduled to drop by food or see somebody. But damn…it has really taken it’s toll on school. Being a full time student and full time associate has given me barely any time to myself to study and do homework. Now it’s time to play catch up and hopefully keep my A’s where they’re at. I hate doing this and I told myself I wouldn’t do this when I hit college, but I can’t say no to working. My dad is still on sick leave and who else is going to help my mom pay the bills?! On top of that, Christmas is coming up and I need to shop for everyone. I’m not complaining about it….I love shopping for Christmas gifts but it’s hard balancing my budget out for what needs to be paid for my car, for everyday life, for bills to help my parents, and for Christmas shopping. AND…my brother finally graduates on December 23. Even though my parents keep saying that we don’t have enough money to go see him graduate in Hilo, I’m determined to make sure we can all go and see him. I forced him to go so he could get somewhere in life and he’s taken a bold step by leaving home to get his high school diploma, even though it’s only in Hilo. He’s about to reach the finish line of something that he can confidently say he succeeded in on his own and has decided to set all things aside to help this family out. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO GO OVER AND CONGRATULATE HIM. Even though my brother and I get into pretty gruesome fights, I miss him and I’m proud of him. He didn’t have to go to Hilo, he could have waited until January to go to Youth Challenge in Kapolei but he wanted to make a change, and he wanted to do it immediately. Despite the difficulty he faced adjusting to the temporary move, he pulled through. Even when his girlfriend didn’t want him to go, he didn’t listen. He knows this is not only for himself, but for this family. He’s chosen to brush off the unnecessary crap that has been weighing him down all this time. My brother deserves some applause. And though this may seem a little far-fetched, I want to try and make sure my family and I can go back to the Philippines in January. I know that it’s tradition to return after a year of burying a family member, to return out of respect and remembrance. I know it’s not necessary, but it’s important. It’s important to my mom. It’s important to my great-grandmother. It’s important for my Tatay. Ahhhh, I’m doing my best but I don’t know how long all of this work can go. Either way, I thank God for giving me the opportunity to even try and make all of this possible. His grace is sufficient for all things. Ok, sorry for the rant! Now back to studying!!!!
