dear diary 6

Did my first day of christmas shopping today. Pretty tired since I went right after work. Gift shopping is pretty fun but only when you know the person who you're shopping for really well. But then it also makes you question how well you truly know a person. I was trying to buy these polos' for my dad and was having a difficult time trying to choose a size. Then i realized that i don't even know. I've known my dad for 17 years but i don't know the circumference of his waist. Ally asked me to hug the shirt and see if it was similar to my dad's waist. That was also when I realized I didn't hug my dad enough. I eventually figured it out, using my intuition but it took much longer than it should have. I still have a lot more gifts to buy but i pride myself on giving awesome and unique gifts so this will be a nice challenge. My plans for new years is still up in the air. I don't know what I want. A quiet night in with close friends vs. a wild night out with strangers. I've always been an introverted person, being an extrovert only when needed. Yet I have a feeling my reserved nature isn't helping me meet enough people. I complain how there is no excitement in my life but perhaps it's because I'm making it that way. Or then again, perhaps i'm just being myself. Sometimes I'm not even sure who I am or what I want to be. University is also stressing me out. Everyone is telling me 'Congratulations!" but they don't even understand how I'm feeling. My career as a journalist may be doomed from the start. I am starting to fear the thought of unemployment the moment after graduating after university. With over a $60,000 debt, I can't afford unemployment. I'm wondering now whether I should choose a career path that is more realistic or stable. But looking back, I think I knew I wanted to go into writing since grade 3, at the latest. I remember writing stories and reading books. This is what I want to do but the thought of working freelance for the rest of my life is terrifying. I really don't want to go through university, fail at my dream career and as a last resort, become a teacher. I truly am not destined to teach, with all respect to teachers out there. I simply do not know what to do with my life and it isn't helping with all the pressure school, family, friends (and somewhat myself) is putting on me.

broke ass

you know you're broke ass when you order pizza
and you run around the house digging for change.
going into your brothers car looking for spare change
and digging into ur pennies/dimes/nickels collection
to pay for the bill.
Life can be hard when you're poor
and dont know how to financially manage you're money..
lesson taught but havent learned yet

come work @ my mango factory

If i was actually Fillipino, the first thing I would do is start a dried mango company so i can eat dried mangos alllllll day. i love that shit.

thoughts

i know this may sound a bit weird but
i really want to dance, not just any weird dance
but i just wanna get up and dance all that i can
booty shake to hair flips to getting down low to sexy waves
reminiscing back then when people would be amazed at how an asian
girl can dance like a black girl, i just feel like i havent been able to
show my skills for years and everytime i watch music videos,
example" Nelly ft. Akon and tpain - move that body"
makes me think back to the dance battles i use to have against others like that.
it may look slutty and dirrty, but to me, its a talent and a gift that i was given.
I just wish that one day, im able to have fun dancing like that again.

christmas

Christmas is approaching soon
the snow falling slowly, the view is more beautiful than ever
but all i want for is to....
fall in love this Christmas
