in 24 hours ♥

I will be ...23 ! :) I am very excited for my birthday --- && out of my blah mood. I will no longer let other things & people interfere with that. I know it will be amazing. I am lucky to have the friends I do have ; and the support I have day in & day out. Something I would not trade for the world. I have so much going for me ; and so much to keep on doing to make my dreams alive in this city of big dreams. I will cherish this year as much as the next && I will keep becoming a better ; smarter && stronger woman. I have a dream to touch the lives of many in this world - & I feel like I already am doing just that. That is a lot more than many others in this world can say. Have you made a great difference or impact on our world ; our our youth; on our future ? I have. && that makes my years alive the best years ever. Thankyou Lord for the blessing of another birthday ... && MANY more to come :) Through Him I can do all things !!!

Sex & the City Two :)





If you know me oh so very well ; you know one of my many addictions is sex & the city. BEFORE the movies came out. You can ask me just about anything from sex & the city and I will know the answer 120 percent sure. Lol. I have been following it since season one ; since my mom was a huge huge fan. I went for the early screening of the movie on May 26th ....& I was lucky to get there when it was basically empty still. Got amazing seats ; & enjoyed everrrrrrrrry single minute of it <3 If you have yet to go see it - you must do so. I know I will be going again to see it with my mother & grandmother. && then maybe another couple of times with some more friends. It was just great. I laughed so much too !!

I am very excited because for the first time I 1. have a GOOD boyfriend for my birthday ; someone who wants to party it up with me & make it the best for me && 2. my bestfriend EVER is going to be able to be here to celebrate it with me ; after many years of not being able to. It should hopefully be a great one. I am just thankful I made it another year - thank you Lord.

I was so cranky this weekend about my birthday and the whole planning of it that I just stayed home in bed - in pjs - all weekend. Lol. But im slowly trying to just shake myself out of that feeling && enjoy this week of being *thee birthday girl <3

dont forget rmx ♥




Love this song ; but I believe the rmx is just a lot better. I have always been a HUGE mariah fan since the age of 8. Cant wait to hear her new stuff soon enough.

I would.



I would give up everything just to feel and be with you
If I had to
I would pawn the ring you gave to me just to feed you
If I had to
I would give my very last breath just to help save you
If I had to
I would tell a lie just because I know you are the truth

I ride for you
Cause your the truth
I die for you
Cause I'm a fool In love with you
And I'll do anything
That pleases you


If I had to
I would throw away my only wish just to proove to you
If I had to
I would die all alone living there without you
If I had to
I would go through all the pain again just to find you
If I had to
I'd surrender all my love just because I love you

I wanna run to you
Breathe as one with you
Absent any time without you
Existing only for you
Every dream is of you
Only turn to you.

cant love you.



Birthday GIRL:)

Monday makes it officially my birthday week :) I am excited - yet tired of planning crap out. LOL. But this post is to ask for your help --
I do NOT want to do my own makeup & hair on my birthday ; which is Saturday May 29th ....I am thinking about going to do my makeup at sephora or MAC & my hair at the salon ...but tryna save some money if I can possibly.

If you know of anyone that does hair and make up in the NYC area please let me know ; or of any great deals. I would highly appreciate it :)

I also wanted to get myself a nice cake ; but I am not too sure it will be done by the 29th if I ask for it now. I just have no idea who to ask on such short notice "/ let me know though guys ♥

This CD was my lifes playlist for the year of 2006 ! I just loved it. Very deep lyrics.




Every lover after me; is a DejaVu ♥

"I got a thing for this little mama she do it to me plus her brain is forreal imma sucka for love I guess. Wont catch her up in the club cuz she aint into that; Kind of chick that rather rent a flick and get intimate. Say she never fuck with thug niggas only gentlemen && yea that ass is fat but whats better is her intellect. Other men sweat her when we walk past. Cant even blame em’ I did the same when I saw that ass match with the thin waist, brown with a slime face. Love the conversation and the kicks was like a sensai. Now she got me chillin with her all around the clock. My homies beefin cuz I never come around a lot. Keep on telling me I changed and things aint the same & ever since she came around I never want to hang. They tell me that its foul how a chick will make me switch; But man I cant help it dog her mind got me whipped!" - J Cole ♥

Birthday Weekend Number TWO :)


This weekend as my birthday month celebrations I went to an AMAZING Cuban restuarant called Havana Alma De Cuba out in the West Village. I loved every minute of it ; from the live music ; to the paintings ; the candlelight scenery ; the salty mojitos; && the food of course :) It was another great birthday weekend with my main squeeze. Here are some pictures <3









Fakes.

"It is better to have one friend of great value than to have many friends of little value." - Unknown

I have lately been really realizing what friends of mine are true ; and which are fake. I have many "friends" - but I have always been the type to just let things go; and be like oh well ; they forgot about me - but I will be there with open arms when they remember me. But lately ; I have gotten tired of being that way. Im getting tired of always being there for people no matter what ; when I dont get the same back. So I decided to cut people out of my life completely. To the point where I dont care about your life ; I dont care about your where abouts ; I dont even care any longer if your alive & safe. I will be deleting your emails/texts etc. without even taking the time to read them; because your pointless to my life right now. I know it sounds very mean - but I'm just done. From now on everyone will be getting treated the way they treat me. Its sad that people I once called my friends forget about me because they 1. are in a new relationship so GOD FORBID there physco girlfriends/boyfriends find out they are still friends with me ; or 2. they have new friends they dont even know so well ; and if it does not have to do with clubbing or drinking they wont hit me up. I sit here and think of all I have done for these "friends" of mine ; all the times I have dropped plans for them ; all the time I have wasted to do things and favors for them - without getting anything in return for it. I was always the first one to boost about my friends achievements and how amazing they are ; how talented they are - give them props ; write blogs about them - help out with promotion; etc. Now I will choose wisely who I do that all for. Besides the fact that I have been very sick lately & was going through real bad depression - I felt like I still had to beg certain friends to ask me how I was doing and what not. Like REALLY?. I am living for me now; I will be selfish now. & sooner or later when their relationships fail & there " new friends " show their true colors - I wont be there to pick up the pieces. I'll be there to say : This is what you asked for.

Rock the Bells 2010 !!





I AM SOOO HYPED for Rock the Bells this year. Last year I was suppose to go ; I was VERY close to going - but situations occurred & someone ruined that for me. This year though ; I will be going no matter what. Lol. I just really hope they have some of the same artist from last years show - which most likely happens. Next week they will be having the line up party ...I will be waiting for it to spread the the internet that night. All I know is they always deliver ; so it will be a great night !!

Welcome Back ?!


Comes out May 18th - Distant Relatives ; Nas & Damian Marley !! Will it be a good enough comeback ? He is saying it is not something we would expect from him ; so im anxious to see what he will be bringing to the table in this album.




Updates ! ♥

I'm here in bed ; sick out of my mind. I have been sick all week. I am not sure if its just my allergies acting up to the fullest !! or if its a cold. Who knows with this bi-polar weather. Many people are telling me I keep getting sick cus I dont rest enough - I'm always up && out doing things or working/studying. But thats life I gotta keep doing what I gotta do. I haven't blogged in a while so im going to catch up on that today; plus write a couple new poems ... have so many ideas and thoughts written in my blackberry ; time to get them on paper. Have to finish up last minute preparations for a training I will be coordinating with my co workers on Monday night ; SUPER nervous because its the first training I will be coordinating - but I know we will do amazing !!! I am also going to be starting my framework for motivational speaking. I have added that to my list of things I want to accomplish in life ; because I feel that is what many females out there need - motivation to live a healthy happy life ! I have found a couple schools & places - but I cant do much without the framework & representation of it all.

So that was a little update for you all ......now be ready for the overflow of blogs coming !! haha :)

real love.

It bothers me when I see people in unhealthy relationships; more so because I have been in many of those & know the signs of it & the denial people go through when it comes to it. I just really wish people loved themselves a lot more to realize it themselves. BUT this post does not really have to do with that. I just want to vent out about how blessed I feel - for not being in a relationship of that sort anymore. I was single for 5 LONG years till I met my boyfriend now & it was all worth it. I gotta admit I do think that I have the most healthiest & MATURE relationship ever. Not just because we have GREAT communication between the both of us ; were both very upfront & understanding - so it helps us not fight much at all. We resolve differences real quick & get passed things easily. But also because we seriously talk about everything ; and I mean EVERYTHING. He knows more about me than anyone because Im not scared to tell him my secrets & deep thoughts ; and vice versa. I feel we talk about many things other couples would be too scared to talk about ; or keep to themselves because they feel their other half will get either upset or take it the wrong way. We never hold anything in ; were what people would call over the top honest with eachother. But I feel were lucky enough to both be real understanding and mature enough to take it. I have always been that kind of person ; now I just got blessed with a man that can handle it also.

I got him a card not long ago ; randomly to show him that he means the world to me. It was on a post I did before that read " If I know what love is; it is because of You ". You dont have to be in love to feel & know what real love is.

This is what I wrote to him :

There's been many times I thought I knew real love but in all honesty never did they live up to what real love is. I have never been with someone who just loves me unconditionally. no matter what I say or do. You have stuck by me thru thick and thin you have trusted me and loved me when times got tough and many others wouldve called it quits but you stayed by me. you have never hurt me or let me down. you have never talked down to me or thrown my mistakes in my face. you have shown me what a real mature man is. you have shown me real mature honest unconditional and gentle love . thankyou for being you

I love you ♥
