MY SOLDIER

When you're feeling sad and blue, don't you know that I will always be here for you? When everything just makes us go out of my mind just know that I will always have the time for you. You say that I am your influence. You should know that you inspire me now until the end. I'll help you get through the thick and thin. And I know you'll remember when I say: You are strong, strong as a SOLDIER even when winds are tough, you always keep it together. You are strong, strong as a SOLDIER. I know you'll get through anything 'cause you're strong, strong as a SOLDIER.

"Beautiful. There is a sad beauty to pain, it speaks of love and loss and only tells of how great the love. It is strength and character that transform that power and piece of life well lived into new life and new love, without devaluing the first."

SURPRISE shoot

The SURPRISE shoot I had about 2 days ago was a success and one of my favorites. The pictures were taken through a digital camera, so don't mind the quality. Oh, and in a junky backyard. The meaning behind the shoot was for a boyfriend. It was suppose to be a surprise, but things change. It's okay though =] If you'd like to comment them, go to my myspace and do so. I'll love you twice as long as forever.<33

so small

winner at a losing game

Baby, look here at me, have you ever seen me this way?
I've been fumbling for words through the tears and the hurt and the pain.
I'm gonna lay it all out on the line tonight.
And, I think that it's time to tell this uphill fight goodbye.

Better Today

You see it all in my smile.
You hear it all in my laugh.
The way I walk, you hear me talk.
And know I'm no longer sad.
I got no reason to smile more now than I've ever had.
I open up my eyes and realize that nothing's quite that bad.

I've got a different approach to dealing with emotion.
Keeping control of my boat, while drifting on this ocean.
Keeping my head to the sky, keeping tears out of my eyes.
Unless happiness be the reason that I decide to cry.
And life's too short to dwell on all that's wrong.
Stand up now, stand up now and I promise not before long.

You'll be feeling better today.
Much better today, much better today.
So much better.
You're feeling better today.
Much better today, much better today.
Much better today.
You're feeling better today.
Much better today, much better today.
So much better.
You're feeling better today.
Much better today, much better today.
You're feeling so much better.

I know about down and out.
I know about when it gets tough.
Losing my fight, can't see the light.
And you just wanna give up.
I know about being depressed.
By needing someone to love.
I also know by standing up and saying enough is enough.

Oh, I've got a different approach to dealing with emotion.
Keeping control of my boat, while drifting on this ocean.
Keeping my head to the sky, keeping tears out of my eyes.
Unless happiness be the reason I decide to cry.
And life's too short to dwell on all that's wrong.
Stand up now, stand up now and I promise not before long.

You'll be feeling better today.
Much better today, much better today.
So much better.

My little brother graduated on June 09, 2009 at Long Beach Poly and I swear, its the proudest day of my life. I've never been so proud. ever.

All Lonestar

Lets Be Us Again:
Tell me what I have to do tonight
Cause I'd do anything to make it right
Let's be us again
I'm sorry for the way I lost my head
I dont why I said the things I said
Lets be us again

I'll Die Trying:
You've been livin' way to long in broken promiseland
Your dreams crushed and scattered like a million grains of sand
I'd love to be your redemption but I am just a man
And I may never be a hero
But I'm a rock you can lean on

hello youtube

take me there

There's a place in your heart where nobody's been, take me there. Things nobody knows, not even your friends, take me there.  Tell me about your momma, your daddy, your home town, show me around. I wanna see it all, don't leave anything out.

I wanna know, everything about you and I wanna go, down every road you've been. Where your hopes and dreams and wishes live, where you keep the rest of your life hid. I wanna know the girl behind that pretty stare, take me there.

Your first real kiss, your first ture love, you were scared, show me where. You learned about life, spent your summer nights, without a care, take me there.  I wanna roll down mainstreet and backroads like you did when you were a kid.  What makes you who you are, tell me what your story is.

soso's going away dinner

last night the jamba juice family of bixby knolls decided to have a dinner because it was her last day at our store. :[  we had some booomb korean bbq!  after we were all done eating we jammed out some music and started dancing in the parking lot.  omg, it was so much fun making a fool of ourselves. videos were even recorded. hahaha  after our lovely dinner together we went over to our GM's place, Mike, and blazed and drank our asses off.  let me also add in, he's good at mixing drinks! I loved my matcha green tea drink. hahaha [inside joke]  the night was so much fun with dancing, dumb freestyling, and lots of laughters, even splits videos/pictures hahaha.  you had to be there, if not, you really missed out.

SUCCESS

So, for those who don't know so well on the personal note, I have a passion for cheerleading. And, after about a year, I finally got my full downs from practically everything (heel stretch, arabasque, and liberty). If you also didn't know, I'm the worst twister in the world. I'm so excited I got them now. Watch out double fulls, I'm coming after you.
