happier than pie-part 2

speaking of happy
...this feeling slash emotion seems to be the theme for me this week. days are better, theres a bigger smile on my face. happy. its like being in a place where frowning is not an option, decisions seem easier to make, sun is brighter and wind feels softer...all the time wondering how long this feeling will last. was it even meant to last. being happy. here to stay or here to visit. in the mean time....i'll enjoy my brighter sun...cooler wind...and of course..the things and people who r capable of creating such a thing. thankful recipient am i. i guess my next step would be to spread a little bit of this "happy". maybe causing someone else to feel what im feeling is my ticket to prolonging such a loving source. perhaps i can call it a tool. not just an ordinary tool but a tool into peoples hearts and reason. spreading the happy...hoping it comes back to me...praying i meet the requirements or perhaps even stray into the lucky path where everyone there is touched and whirl pooled into the blessings of "happy". i understand it. i except it. and will continue to hold on to it. i am thankful for "happy".

happier than pie

today i came into town @ 5:30/6 ish. which means i was up at 4...thats ridiculous, only to find out a couple hours ago that i could have stayed at home and slept in. i never get to sleep. first things first....all my guy friends are going to a dodger game tonight...im pretty sad cuz i really wanted to go. i dont necessarily LOVE the game , but i do enjoy the hype that comes with attending a live game. o well there's always tomorrow. maybe ONE day someone will take me to one. anyways.....i've decided that i will leave my hair color the way it is. it makes me happy. it is brown. lots of people around me have been pressuring and pointlessly trying to manipulate me into dying my hair another color.....however, im not easily persuaded. i like what i like...and at this point in my life...i do not like dying my hair. a couple days ago my me, my cousin, and my roommate cleaned our apartment. all i have to say is, thank God. it was so messy i couldnt stand it any longer. regardless of our busy schedule, the mess, the lack of organization, the clutter...all of it was totally unnecessary. so now it feels good to go home and have the living room all tidy with everything in its place looking all cool and homey. it makes me happy.

last day of k2

i will break up this blog into three parts considering how long its been since my last entry.

in the last couple weeks: i got a new cellular device. its pink and its called the chocolate strawberry. i love it. also we've been staying here in town quite a bit. i rather go home but i guess its ok considering how late it gets with such a long drive home. we did a human video at new life church this past wednesday. it was awesome. and we've started attending the whittier for jesus meetings at pastor sams church every week. i think the event will be september 2o something this year...i dunno. well also i bought some stuff online from american eagle. got my brother derek some shirts and a pair of jeans which look amazing on him by the way. great...just another reason for the desperate middle aged women at work to flirt with him. dont get me started....well this wednesday we had a barbeque at work for the end of the summer. it was pretty cool ....alot of ppl showed up from different schools. it was fun. aside from all the school stuff...we've been pretty busy here at church just still preparing for our aug 4th event. its gonna be sooo sweet. i cant wait. ive been keeping up with my diet. as last stated, there were a few pounds i needed to shed...and so far ive been doing good. not as good as i could be doing but ive definitely lost weight :)

so far today: yes it was my last day of working summer school. pretty exciting. we had a pot luck in my class there was so much food it was crazy. we had enough to feed like maybe 25 ppl but theres only 5 adults in our class lol i ate alot and now i feel horrible. guess i have some fasting to do. also today we had water day which meant all the kids got wet in the water at school. one kid who i'll remain as anonymous...kept stripping and i had to keep putting his shorts and stuff back on...i dunno. it was tiring. i've decided that a little girl named jennica...is by far my favorite. she's prolly the cutest little girl ive ever seen in my life. i pray that when i have kids they'll be as gorgeous as her...well actually they'll be cuter...duh..I'LL be there mom :)

things coming up soon: tomorrow we're having a car wash. im excited but also very tired. then hopefully i'll be going to our little friend ethan's birthday party. he's turning 7! the pico event is coming up and im hoping to hit the beach like 200 times next week. we'll see how it goes.

i left out so much but i just couldnt remember it all right now. here's a little quote just to wrap things up....

later! love ilene.

hey hey hey

this morning s drive was needless to say, pretty horrible. i was cold and tired and didnt get to watch sweet home alabama like i wanted to because....well i was tired and cold. then i got to listen to the star spangled banner on 95.1 (my favorite radio station) but it was pretty low and i couldnt hear it that well.....these minor complaints are the extent of any and all negativity for the day.

new leaf

about two weeks ago i said that i would be loosing 10 pounds and i still havent done it lol im only 5'6" 135 pounds but could stand to shed a few. so today being my first BLOG day..i have decided to get the ball rolling and will eat right, drink water, and start the working outs. lots on my mind right now, today, these past months but as usual im out of time. i have to type up a letter to a counilwoman in compton. so many thoughts, feelings, and words. next time.
