worst week ever.. what's going on?

Hello bloggers! shout out to Nunu Doll for being so awesome!

So let's recap what i have missed. On Wednesday I went to hang out with an old friend whom I haven't seen in ages, drama that took over in her life had her going in a different direction.. but I'm glad she looked past it because I never understood why she left in the first place.It was nice! We went out for lunch, did some shopping and caught up like we never seperated. She really is like a sister to me, it felt like a hundred bricks were lifted off my shoulder and we reconnected.

So let's recap what has happened today a.k.a. the day that ruined all days!

From the beginning of mid evening last night I started clearing out my room because my parents decided to make over the whole house and re-do everything! What happened was I was not expecting to be moved out so soon, since the contractor was still working on my sister Stella's bedroom.. But last light the hauling began and I have a horrible allergy to dust and that killed me.. So what ended up happening was I neer finished so woke up early this morning to finish up the job.. Everything went well until I got some foreign object into my left eye, like any normal person I rubbed it a bit then rinsed it with luke warm water since I had no eyedrops.. Everything was okay until I still felt the particle in my eye and within 30 minutes my eye swelled up like a balloon and I looked like someone punched my eye and I covered it really well so no bruising showed. lol then I called my momma, who was at work and said "Momma, I can't see my eye is swollen!" then she told me she would come home as soon as she could, then I said, " it's okay I'll call Stan[ my boyfriend]" and he took me to the hospital where I went into emergency care.. the Check-In took forever like almost 1.5 hours... geez I was feeling like poo and looking horrible... it total of 4 hours to handle the whole thing and they didn't even give me any medicine! >:[ they said take benadryl!!! ugh so finally made it to Rite Aid and grabbed some.. the swelling has subsided but still poofy like I cried for a long time... Wow this week has been total disaster! I think someone is out to get me :[.

Well back to some better news, the school fixed my transcript total and I am back in school! yay thanks for the positive words Nunu!! Okay well I'm going to rest right now.. Have an awesome weekend :]

a new beginning for all begins today...

Good Morning World!

Today is the day :], I actually woke up early to watch the Inauguration-well actually the boyfriend woke me up but it still counts! woo hoo I know honestly I can't say I'm the most political individual, but I know I am sure glad GWB is leaving! Our own nation and the entire world has suffered too much under this man's wrath, 2009 is a time of change and I have the most sincerest hope that Obama will do us some good. Holla, lol :] go # 44! You know what's funny is so the other day I was speaking with my mother about Obama's transition into power and she said "what number is this guy, Sulee?"- yeah sorry my mom has a very thick Chinese accent;even though she's been here 25+ years... haha oh how i love her :}, okay so back to the subject at hand. So I told her "it's number 44,why?" she said " euhh... that's a bad number because in chinese superstition it stands for double death..." I respond with, " ohh gee mom thanks for being so optimistic..." anyways I guess that wasn't that important but I thought it was funny of her to say.

Well the day is young, and I think I will be doing some shopping today because I have a friend's birthday this Saturday and my boyfriend's BIG 25!!! any ideas from you creative and fun bloggers... I see you ladies all have such creative hands at make-up and dress... I was thinking an iphone, but our plan hasn't even hit it's 1.5 year contract for upgrading yet :[ so I don't want to spend $399.99 on that.. I wanted to try to hunt down these jordans he wanted their called " The Space Jams", but I'm not much of a eBay person :[ I wanted something HUGE for him, oh how I wish I had more money...okay well time to join the boyfriend upstairs. Have a great day!

the boyfriend

GOOD AFTERNOON :D

So... I'm writing this post for the boyfriend, last night we ran into some difficult altercation and he brought up a very good point about our relationship and how I tend to take things out of perspective.. long story short he was right I was wrong.. sometimes I guess admist the drama I get too caught up with arguing and so I need to take a step back and just say to myself..." is this really necessary?" I know I am very lucky to have such a patient boyfriend, someone who listens , accepts, and loves me for who I am. I know we've been through our share of ups and downs in the past 2.5 years, but when I wake up in the morning and see he's still next to me I smile because I have him. So this is cheesy but very true. I don't really remember how to "blog" so I guess I'll just have to take it for what I remember.. I wonder if anyone is reading this...well alright hope everyone has a great Monday!
