A Day with Chester Gregory
Today was a fantastic day! Youth Group at church was loads of fun, watched a play starring my friend Destiny and other youth group members. Then we ate BBQ! At 1:30 i was off to the OC to meet up with DreamGirls own Chester Gregory :)
I waited in the lobby of the stage door entrance for the show to be over, and here comes CG. I got to see his Dressing Room, and chill out while he ate some...

Matador Nights
Mannn, tonight was more than I expected, definitely better than the last one. I felt good because I worked and helped out, then the party started at 11. Destiny doesnt dance, so she left us, but Janniece and I were gettin it! Seen a lot of people, stayed on the dance floor from 11 til 1. I was a little upset I didnt get to dress up cuz my mom was here til 6 when i had to be at the school to help...

Sneak Peak of my poem "Purity"
When I look at or listen to the girls I see,I wonder what made me so different.
I look back at my single mothers fight, And wonder what out if those 18 years did she do differently that went right.
The sexual relation hype in young teens is tremendous! Leaving me to wonder what’s gonna come along and end this.

Peace Up, A-Town down.
Many people know this, but there are a lot that don’t know, or failed to pay attention when I mentioned it. smh. Anyways, exactly one year from now we’ll be in 2011 about to go into summer and enjoy the fact that us college sophomores made it to junior year.
Well, in the summer of 2011 I will be making a trip to Atlanta that will change my life. The reason it’s going to change...

Song For Thought →
Tonights song is by Blackstarr (Talib &Mos def) called “Beautiful” it’s the remix with Mary J. and Common. a lot of people forget what their listening to when they learn the words to a song, like when they learn the words they pay less attention to what the song is actually about/saying. i would post my favorite lyric but i love it all so i posted the lyrics below.

The Perfect Saturday.
What a great and fantastic day today was. I can’t complain, it couldn’t have been much better than what it was. I started my day waking up after a refreshing FULL 9hours of sleep! Got up thanks to lovely God and got ready for a few hours in Orange County. You can’t deny the fact that i was lookin pretty flyyyy haha and I actually wore a dress!
So on my way to OC i’m...

The Greatness →
Okay today I chose not to post another story, so I decided to use a song. I was listening to Raheem DeVaughn’s new album “The Love & War Masterpiece” and i came across one of the songs I really like called “The Greatness” but this time I really listened in detail to every word. The song is basically dedicated to any woman, and ‘the greatness’ they...
The Future.
This week has felt so inspiring! I seen a vision on Monday in my Sociology class, and I’ve been taking my first steps to the future. I have so many ideas, but I know for them to all work I needed to organize them and start with one instead of all of them at the same time. So to update those behind, my vision includes:
My own Radio Show online. It’s called Underground Buzz Radio,...

Day 10: Time to Mature
Today is the last day of my self discovery, and I’ve been saving this one for the end, because I believe it indicates a fresh start…for myself. After these long 10 days, I’ve come to realizes somethings about myself that I was not aware of, and somethings that I avoided as much as possible. The only way to fix a problem is to confront it, and I believe that’s what...
Day 9: What's Success w/o Failure
Today’s post was actually influenced by an Aaliyah song. I;m back in Northridge now, but when I was still at my house, I was listening to music as I gathered my things to take the unwanted trip back to school. Aaliyah’s one of my favorite R&B artists, and even though she’s gone, I still love her and her music. Her song “Try Again” came on during the shuffle...

Day 8:Visualize and Focus.
All day today I was trying to figure out what I was going to write about for day 8. I think I ran out of weaknesses, so I kept thinking of what I could continue doing. I had a conversation with my mom about some family members, and then I thought about the rest of my immediate family. I thought merely on the success factors of my family members, and how they are currently doing. Sadly, basically...
Day 7: Be Patient.
What a shocking and thought provoking day today was. I always seem to have these days where I feel so down and the whole day I think of what I haven’t done, what I want to do, and how I’m not there yet. Today was one of those days, but I tried and eventually did, pull something positive out of it.
I planned on today being productive for myself, finish up some schoolwork and get ready...
Day 6: Stay Positive.
Once again, today I seen many of my High School friends as well as some of my old teachers. It was a nice day, everyone asked how I was doing and I had to repeat the same story multiple times…lovely right?
The best thing about today is that I learned something else about myself through another friend. After a long day visiting, I went to Track practice to say hi to the team, and on my way...
Day 5: Branch Out.
Today I had the greatest time at my old High School. I went back and like always, I received endless love from my friends :D. I also seen my cousin today and she brought something to my attention.
She said, “Sometimes it baffles me because I see the wonderful traits in you and I wonder why wouldn’t you want to share that.”
I pondered on her statement for a minute and realized...
Day 4: If YOU don't like what you see, Change it!
I’m home from the Bay now, sadly. I enjoyed my stay there and I don’t think it was long enough. :/
Well, today I was devastated by what happened when I got home. I’ve been on the verge of changing my eating habits to healthier foods, and I was very well on the right path! Then, this lovely trip to NorCal came, and that was crushed. It wasn’t totally my fault because I had...
Day 3: Look at Yourself.
This is my third day in the Bay with family, and I went to Sacramento to visit some cousins. This morning was the first time I stood and looked at myself for a long time. The whole time I was getting ready, I stared into the mirror and looked. It was somewhat awkward at first because I’m not use to looking at myself for a long period of time. I’m glad I did it though, because...
Day 2: Accepting the Complements.
First off, I hope everyone had a lovely Easter with family and loved ones! I enjoyed my day in Northern California, even though it rained ALL day :/
Today I realized another weakness that I have already worked on, which is accepting complements from people. I use to always say “thank you” to complements people would give me, but in my mind I’d never soak them in because I...
Day 1: Relax!
Today was the first day of my “away” time. The first thing I noticed and was told by loved ones, was that I’m too hard on myself, a lot. Sometimes it’s to the point where I place myself in a low, almost depressive stage. I need to learn to just breathe and relax.
I know that God will carry me through any hard times, but usually when things come up that I have to do, I always want to...
CHANGE...a Positive one=a Healthy one
Many people don’t like to change their ways. I’d have to honestly say that I am that way. After last week, I noticed that changing certain aspects in my life could actually be a good thing if they are changed for the right reasons and for the better. With that has come my 10 days to self discovery. I’m taking the time to perfect my strengths, but more importantly, to work on my...
Today was a Good Friday.
I had to enjoy this last friday before I went strictly into focusing on myself, and I have to say i OVER enjoyed it thanks to @chestergregory :). Even though the hard times seem to last forever and the good times seem to fly by, I feel truly blessed. My life is really something special.
Today began early, I had a dreadful dentist appointment at 9am. Then, as soon as I got home it was...

Just one of those days...
Today was my last day of school, I’m home now relaxing and spending time with my lovely mom. I’m looking forward to Spring Break and whatever comes with it.
Today was really just one of those days :/ not much to explain about it. I woke up early, packed up my stuff, practiced and delivered my speech, missed my doctor’s appointment due to 20mph traffic on the 210 west and the...
Revival
Today was Revival at my dad’s church in Riverside. I had been looking forward to it since last week when I was invited to go. It was an interesting service. I felt very engaged and interested in what was going on. The service was 2 hours and usually I’d be beat by the end, but it felt more like 30 minutes!
The total ambience of the church intrigued me, I felt so enlightened....
