Well Hellooooo 2011!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011 Everyone!

It's such a Refreshing, Rejuvenating and Rehabilitating feeling to start a new year. I didn't start it out as planned having caught the Flu this past week. I have been in pain and miserable for the last week in bed so much that I haven't felt this way in a looooong time. I am thankful to have a good immune system that is not sick prone. (Knock-on-Wood) This is probably payback for all the times I didn't get sick in 2010. Getting sick has pushed me even more to eat healthy and stick to exercising so I don't contract any new viruses. I have lost weight from just eating liquids and drinking a lot of hot teas. And I plan on keeping off the weight since I am pretty much 3 lbs away from my Target weight goal. =)

New Year's Resolutions I'm not good at keeping. But #1 Staying Healthy for longevity and #2 Stick to a Exercise Regime are always at the top of my list. And I have proposed myself to REACH GREAT NEW HEIGHTS in 2011 both figuratively and literally. Whether that means conquering being able to walk in even higher sky high heels that I am addict of. (Checkout my heels in the following pics from my NYE outfit Sparkle is a must for NYE) or learning how to fly a plane! Yes I want to do it so bad...I mean I already skydived I seriously have no fear of heights. And I am a fan of thinking bigger and higher in this case!

I am excited to get things rolling in 2011. Which includes new travel plans, focusing into getting back into school so I can change my self-description back to STUDENT =) and just enjoying life and its surprises.

Bon Voyage ready to set the sails into 2011.

Quarter Century Old!

Hello Blog and my fellow readers.

It's THANKSGIVING day 11.25.2010. and to those who don't know, MY BIRTHDAY! I am officially A Quarter Century Old. I have caught up to my friends and no longer a youngin' but a little closer to 30. EEEk... It doesn't really scare me I know I'm ready to take on another year.

As today is the day to show your appreciation and give thanks. I AM THANKFUL for my Family, Friends, my foes, haha yes those too, and the opportunity to be blessed with another year ahead. Which I know will be a promising one. As I have done in reaching the goals I had set forth for myself in 2010, the majority of them I've made happen. I know 25 will bring me bigger goals to accomplish. Including bigger travel plans, revisiting places that are dear to my heart here and far away, seeing my family who I don't see on the regular because of the distance that separates us. And maybe a shift of work, school, and city for the coming year. I have my gears rolling and everything just deserves patience and effective planning to make them happen.

#WhatI'mThankfulFor

1. I'm thankful to GOD for blessing me with another breathing year.
2. I'm thankful for my HEALTH. And not getting sick while travelling in Europe at the beginning of the month nor getting sick but ONCE throughout the year with a cold. 
3. I'm thankful for my FAMILY. Even though we have had our ups and downs I realized you have molded me into who I am today and I'm thankful for teaching me life's lessons. Thank You MAMI!
4. I'm thankful for my little SISTERS, who aren't so little anymore. You influence me everyday with your constant growth and remind me what it is to be YOUNG.
5. I'm thankful for my BIG BROTHER for always having my back and allowing me in your life as we grow-up together no matter what the situation is. I am grateful to have taken our first EUROTRIP together and I'm ready to plan the next!
6. I'm thankful for my BEST FRIEND for teaching me and reminding me constantly of my strengths and not letting me fall down when I don't believe I have any. 
7. I'm thankful for the constant support of my FRIENDS. The ones I can count on one hand who always reserve a small space of their heart to hear me out whenever I need advice and whenever I get the chance to offer you SMILES. 
8. I'm thankful for my JOB and the continuos growth I've experienced to help me find out where I want to head next. And to the many friendships I've created under that dome. 
9. I'm thankful for my dancing FEET as I have done enough justice in dancing this past year and will continue to do so as long as I live. 
10. I'm thankful to the SF GIANTS (Esp. Timmy, Posey, Wilson "The Beard," Uribe, Renteria) for bringing in the Trophy and title of WORLD CHAMPS to all your FANS here in the CITY BY THE BAY that I proudly love. BLACK & ORANGE! Let's do it again next year!

the list can go on...but above all I'm thankful for having this space as an outlet to share with you the rare times I get to write about me and my adventures. As I know they are a reminder to all I've accomplished and the things that amuse and interest me from fashion, shoes, food, travel. I'm inspired to continue writing as I see the world through the eyes of those on the internet, who share some of the same passions as me. THANK YOU today and EVERYDAY!

xoxo
