breaking out!

This past weekend was exactly what I needed. I've been in a bit of a slump lately. It was the most fun I've had in a long time. I ate with people I don't usually eat with, spent a day with people I don't usually hang out with, partied with people I didn't even know until that very night at a place I didn't even know existed. Completely refreshing.

I spent my Friday night at a party you wouldn't think to ever find me at with people you'd never guess I'd be with. I definitely feel like I let the party girl in me come out. Maybe I should give this alter ego a name. Suggestions? I pick Valerie. Haha, I don't know why. I know it's no Sasha Fierce, but whatevs! Anyhoo, the best part of my night was spent on the dance floor. My partner for the night taught me how to salsa & merengue (although, I probably looked like a drunken fool), and of course there was the good old-fashioned booty shakin' & stanky leggin' we all know and love. I was gettin' spun and dipped all over the place! I think every girl should be spun and dipped at least once in her life. I felt so free. Like all of my inhibitions had disappeared! Not a care in the world.

Felt like.. Chris Brown's Forever. Foreal.

It's you and me moving at the speed of light into eternity,
Tonight is the night to join me in the middle of ecstasy.
Feel the melody in the rhythm of the music around you, around you
I'm gonna take you there, I'm gonna take you there.
So don't be scared, I'm right here baby.
We can go anywhere, go anywhere.
But first it's your chance, take my hand, come with me.

It's like I've waited my whole life for this one night.
It's gonna be me you and the dance floor.
'cause we've only got one night
Double your pleasure
Double your fun and dance
Forever (ever, ever)
Forever on the dance floor

Now, I've realized (well, I already knew, but it became more clear) that there's so much out there that I need to explore. Especially in college. Time to (hopefully) expand my horizons and have as much fun as I can before this is all over! Carpe diem!

Cheers to more random, spontaneous nights (and days)! :)

my feet feel hot :(

I've been MIA from the whole blogging/fbnoting/tumblring thing for awhile now. Josh told me he misses it, so here i am! So since summer ended, I've just been busy with school, work, and as of recently, volleyball. Anyhoo, just some random thoughts and updates..

My classes aren't so bad (except finance, blaaarghh). It's the brass ring program that's keeping me busy! Brass ring is basically a class that also counts as an internship credit. You get put into teams of about 7-ish. Each team gets about 1-3 foreign exchange students. Mayyyn is there a cultural barrier. I took a dumb fb questionnaire recently (boredom kills), and it asked if I was impatient. I really thought I was just normal, but damn, I think I'm really impatient. Or maybe some people are just really good at getting under my skin.

Volleyball season is starting next week! I'm super excited! I've been skipping a ton of practices, so I've been using this week to catch up. Now, I am extremely sore from head to toe. Lewis told me I walk like a pregnant woman because I have to waddle -_-. Yeah, it's thaaaat bad. Well last night, Josh, Simon, and I were practicing super late @ Greg and joined in a scrimmage game. My proudest moment was saving the ball when it was 1 foot away from the ground with one arm. Best feeling ever! I know I'm like the least athletic person ever, but you better believe when I'm on that court, I'm bustin' my ass and giving it my all. You will never hear me complain about how much I'm hurting or how tired I am. I really believe I put my whole heart into the game, and it feels so good! I hope to keep this up after IMs are over. We're playing for ASR in the OPhiG tournament on Thursday @ 6pm! Come support! Our IM games are @ 9pm on Mondays! :) TASA SALAD! <3 <3

Anyone who watches One Tree Hill knows that Peyton thinks "People always leave." In my eyes, I think people never change. I have very little hope in people. I've always felt this way, but the idea has been reinforced harder and stronger than ever. Many of my beliefs are very extreme, but I feel I have right to believe so. Especially since people have yet to prove me wrong. I felt I was close once, but no, I was just being foolish. People don't change unless they themselves truly want that change. If you're going to date someone, don't try to change her/him. That'll never work. Maybe slightly, but never to where you'd like. Part of being with someone is accepting him/her for his/her faults. I don't see why people who are aware of certain attributes of their S.O. pre-dating insist on changing those attributes afterwards. NONSENSE!

Branching off of the last paragraph, I hate fake people. I hate when people portray themselves in a way where they know the world would fall in love with them. Why do you feel you have to put on this front? Sooner or later, your true colors come out. So quit telling the world your fake ass philosophies on life and love because everything you claim to stand for is a load of shit. Listen to Drake. "I am more than what you bargained for but nothing less than real." And Emerson. "It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude." Wise words from men of different times. The notion of staying real does not change.

So, Josh and I have come to the conclusion that Koreans are terrible with phones. Anyone who talks to/calls Josh knows he doesn't answer his phone worth shit! Not only does he not pick up calls, he doesn't answer text messages. I've yelled at him and cussed him out (with love, of course) on countless occasions, so he's actually gotten a bit better with it. Other Koreans include his mommma, his sister.. etc. He actually proposed this idea to me first, and I didn't believe it.. until SOMEBODY (ahem MatthewKim) decides to always respond to me hours later. Hmph, damn Koreans. :P

I realized I am constantly being played for a fool. I don't think I'm one to have many regrets. You live, you learn. That's all you can do. Even so, I'm really hoping this isn't one of those times.

Here's a song I really love. Definitely a great remix.

Travis Garland - Dead & Gone

I'm not the same person I used to be.
I'm moving on, It's just me.

Do you remember when you told me that
I'd never be good enough for anyone
And I wasn't worth your time,
Your energy.
And why didn't I listen then,
Why didn't I stand up for myself?
You made me believe,
That I was on the road to nowhere,
To nowhere.

And oh,
I was listening for way too long.
I should've known I'm way to strong,
That you'd just lead me on,
Lead me on.

And oh,
I was driving on that road to long.
Just tryna find my way back home,
The old me is dead and gone,
Dead and gone.

I've been thinking about all that we been trough,
Every place that you and me went to.
Thinking back on stupid little memories.
Thinking 'bout the times that my heart felt empty,
Wait! that was all the time,
Cause we just weren't fine, we fake it.
A true friend stabbed you in the front so tell me
Why my back is aching?
You can't say, you just choked
Hangman, there's your rope.
Dang, what's a five letter word for you
Well pick up and you got beat at your game.
Burn every bridge but you still see the smoke,
Tryna get across but you sank every boat.
You can smoke everyday of your life
But when I'm on the mic I'm a be more dope.

And oh,
I was listening for way too long.
I should've know I'm way to strong,
To let you just lead me on,
Lead me on.

See, you can love me for who I am,
Or hate me for who you think I am,
But the old me is dead and gone,
I'm moving on now.

Old me is dead and gone,
Dead and gone.

too much of a good thing.

I feel like I’m always being punished for being too laid back. It may seem as though I don’t care about anything, but I am far from apathetic. Don’t get it twisted.

There are just some things not worth bustin’ your blood vessels for. I strive for sustained happiness.

"doin' it big"

our rendition of the beatles’ famous ..

although we all kinda suck @ pretending to walk.

wanna see somebody get their ass beat nearly nekked?!

the funniest movie scene ever!

from This Christmas


good movie btw. :)

wtf? Backstreet Boys gone R&B!?

Yea, seriously, they really did. So I just copped the new Backstreet Boys album "This Is Us". So far, it's pretty tite. I can totally jam this in the car! They went a whole new direction. It sounds really good too! It's the type of stuff I've been listening to for awhile. The new BSB sounds like a cross between Chris Brown, Jesse McCartney, T-Pain, and Claude Kelly. I feel like they're confused. Identity crisis much?

Tracks:

1. Bye Bye Love
This sounds almost identical to Chris Brown's "Forever". I was about to start singin'
"It's like I've waited my whooole life for this one night.." This song is kinda funny. It's a break-up song but it's such a happy tune!

2. Fallen Angel

3. Bigger

4. Helpless

5. She's A Dream
They say "shawty" alot here haha. It reminds me of Jesse McCartney and T-Pain. I heard they worked with T-Pain also, so that may be where the influence is comin' in. They even said "pesos" instead of money.. kinda like how T-Pain said "fuego". This song sounds pretty T-Painish.. whooa, they use the auto-tune too at same parts. You'll hear it.

6. International

7. Masquerade

8. Hologram
This song was actually originally sung by Chris Brown and Dre! Still good though.

9. Shattered

10. What I Know Now
Produced by Claude Kelly and it totally sounds like it.

11. Straight Through My Heart
This one sounds extreme poppish and a litttttle like techno-ish, just a little.. Definitely old BSB comin' out. Not feelin' it. It's aiite.
