Oh Summer.

|
You've been so good to me. I must say though, I have only a few months left to finish everything I planned for the Summer & I'm no where near close. Well, even though it's already July, things have been going great lately.

- Got a job.
- Active again in YFC.
- Got back into reading for fun.
- Updated my Ipod
- Visited Katie & Kevin back in Pomomo.

However, I still didn't get to do plenty of other things:
- Visit NORCAL-ians.
- Finish the Harry Potter series.
- LOST MY GOAL WEIGHT.
- Roadtripped.

There's plenty more. But, eh. I'll do it. I promise I will. Well, about the NORCAL trip...it might not happen. UGH! We'll see. Anyway, let's keep Summer the best thing I've had all year.

Shhh...bring it down.

After watching countless Disney movies, I've realized...I forgot what it was like to be a kid. I'm raised to be someone who has to go to school and learn for my future. I'm raised to be someone who will have my dream job at my hands. I'm raised to be someone who has to network for what I want. I'm raised to be someone to get a job, make money & be happy with the pay that I have.
Since when did things like this ever stop me from remembering that not all lessons can be learned from books or from school. There are those life long lessons that you learn from just experience. Like how things were back in elementary school, where I could just play with toys & meet random people in the sandbox. Or when I could just say "Daddy, you're the best driver!" and get a toy. However, when I say that, my dad looks at me and says," Danielle, you're lame."

Sometimes we forget that we do have a kid on the inside of us. There is a kid that still loves Disney. There is a kid that still loves Transformers. There is still a kid that loves Thundercats (too old? Hahah). Once in a while, let the kid inside you play. He/she could be growing up way too fast.


Live life one step at a time. If you put too much on your plate, then that's where your future will get screwed up & everything you worked for will go to waste. Enjoy life's blessings & give the kid in you a Wall-E robot or a Transformer. [:

- Driven.
- Willing.
- Wonderful.
- Thoughtful.



So much more. Thanks for making me smile everyday. [:

She is the true meaning of JOY.

Funny how people come into your lives and you never realize how much of an impact someone has made on you until something drastic happens. Upon sitting with my family at the dinner table, we get a call: Grandma Joy (My great aunt) has passed away at 10am in the Philippines. Just this morning, my dad was telling me that we would have to go to the Philippines next week on such short notice to support the family and pay our respects to our grandma who took such great care of us. I agreed to it since I haven't seen that family since I was about 6 years old. It would be good to go back home and say hi to everyone again. However, I didn't get this chance to do so. She is in such a better place now. I know she's in Heaven. She was a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a sister, a friend, a caregiver and a wonderful person all around. She was someone who I had very much respect for even as a young little Danielle. I know she's looking down at me and my family and watching over us. She was such a beautiful lady and such a loving grandmother to us. She was one of those old ladies who sat in the rocking chair and wore her Moo-Moo. She was a cute little lady. She babysat us and even family friends' kids. She always played Chinese Checkers and was GOOD at it. She always called me "Miss Universe" saying that I was one of the most beautiful girls she's ever seen. How gracious of her to say something like that and telling me that I was someone who WAS beautiful in someone's eyes. She was such a special lady in my life and I'm sure the rest of my family's. She will be missed. Grandma Joy, I love you and I hope you're enjoying it up there with Lucky & Michael Jackson playing the game you are so great at, Chinese Checkers. Take care of us as you always have.

Right now, I hate my summer. I'm flat broke. I'm super upset about the new car situation where I have to pay for part of the insurance & the newly added damages to our already damaged car. Finding a job is ridiculously hard in Bakersfield. My Norcal/Socal roadtrip is a definite NO for this summer as of tonight. As of right now, the looks on getting a new car is dunzo because of all that's been happening. Everything is going NOT the way I'd hoped. Please summer....change now.

The Way You Make Me Feel.

Michael Jackson
August 25, 1958 - June 25, 2009.
A singer, dancer, humanitarian, role model, creator, musical producer, legend, pop icon, peace maker, hero, friend, father, brother and nonetheless an inspiration to the entire world. Upon hearing about his death, I turned on the radio to hear how much of an impact he has on this world, "When the world heard of his death, everyone in the entire world went on the internet: myspace, youtube, facebook, twitter, etc. that the internet almost crashed." That's amazing. His death was such a huge impact on me. I felt like part of my childhood has left me. I always thought he was going to live until I had kids and they were gonna know about him. It's interesting that those who don't like him, KNOW the words to his song. That's how great this man is. He will be missed by all his fans & people around the world. So long as his music is playing, he will continue to inspire and live on forever. I know when I'm older, I'm going to introduce my kids to Michael Jackson & they are going to love him as much as I do. I will forever have respect for this man & all he's done for the world.

RIP Michael Jackson, King of Pop.
