long long time

I've been really lame at this whole blog thing lately but it's never too late to get back into it...I guess things have just been a bit too hectic in order for me to take the time to write some thoughts.

I've ended up in the hospital TWICE since my last post. The first time consisted of a three day stay while the last (hopefully for good!!!) stay consisted of eleven long and gruesome days. I guess that being young and not ever having to be at the hospital has now become a foreign thing for me. Sad to say but I almost got the hang of being there, of seeing all those people in times of desperation and questioning. Staying there really made me realize how quickly things can change and how important it is to really appreciate what your given.

Thankfully, I'm feeling much better and I'm slowly getting back into my routine. My first week back at school is almost done and I need to be back to all of my regular tasks and activities next week...like it or not.

In addition, winter is over in eight days...this terrible terrible season over in eight days. I'm positive that spring will bring great things that will shine over the darker situations brought along by winter. One day at a time and all will fall back into place

looking past the negative

I am strong enough to do this...
Weakness is not an excuse & should never be
I don't want to end up there again.

numb

I'm just too weak to do this
Just way too weak

where is my ground control...

I previously said that I see things getting back on track and expected life to look brighter in the following hours, days, weeks, or months. I was wrong...I was so terribly wrong. 2009 has only been here for a month yet it has been so terribly unkind to me. It makes me wonder if I've done anything to deserve this...I'm quite sorry if I did.

I got some terrible and harsh news earlier this week. As I previously mentioned, I got my ear pierced and it was causing a lot of pain. On Tuesday I decided that I didn't want to deal with this pain anymore so I chose to go to the clinic. After waiting 3 and a half hours (with no music or cellphone because my iPhone was dead!!!) I got called into the doctor's office. The doctor, an arrogant son of a bitch, checked out my ear and told me I had cellulitus. It's not the unattractive craters women get on their legs so this little monster could not be healed with Nivea Good Bye Cellulite cream. Cellulitus is an infection of the different layers of inner skin that is characterized by red skin, burning sensation, rapid swelling. Hearing this was already a blow to my emotional stability but to make the situation even better the doctor casually told me that I could die from this because it can turn into a meningitis. That's an infection of the membrane surrounding the brain, so you can imagine how shocked I was when I heard this.

I got home and things were not looking better. Long story short, I went to the hospital and was taken in right away. I didn't expect that I would be there for a long time, but I was wrong. After taking my piercing out, which was not enjoyable at all, I was given antibiotics through intravenous injections. I stayed two nights, two nights too many, in the hospital where I got the chance to meet a few interesting characters while I was there. Overall, my stay there was not pleasant due to the bad food, all the antibiotics I was on, the pain, the sleepless nights, the loneliness. Thankfully, I had two visitors, my mother and father, who kept me company and tried to keep my hopes up. I'm grateful to be at home with my own personal belongings that I've grown to appreciate more. I don't ever wat to be away from home like that ever again.

In all, January was a terrible month for me, hopefully all this negativity will fall behind with this month. I think I just need to set some goals and things to do for the next couple of months in order to keep myself occupied and always busy. It's time for me to hit the sack again...'till next time.

back to the routine

FIRST OFF...I'm sorry blog for being so lame and not writing. I've had a very painful week due to a new piercing which resulted in me being very unproductive towards everything. Hopefully, it will heal soon and I'll be back to my normal self. Damn you conch piercing and your complications!

Call me crazy, but I'm somewhat happy that I'm back at school. It feels nice to wake up and know you have something to do that day instead of wasting away at home. I get to eat at regular hours and follow my eating original eating habits (hopefully meaning that there will be more weight loss coming my way!!!). I'm looking forward to this semester because it is my last one and I think it will be one filled with learning experience and one where I'll have to make important decisions. I want to give a big thank you to one of my teachers, David Finch, who helped me open my eyes about the obstacles that are to come and what people are going to expect of me based on my field of studies. If you're reading this David-wouldn't be surprised if you were-thank you for being a great listener and such an inspiring person.

Things hit a low before but I think that they're slowly getting back on track. What goes up must come down, but that doesn't mean things always have to stay down. I took a momentary detour on my life path or simply put happiness, but now I'm on the right track again. Let's hope that nothing will stop me again from heading that way.
this is the little devil causing all of my pain

school=death of me

I have two weeks left of vacation and judging from the looks of my schedule I'll be taking advantage of them. One more semester of college and then it's over, then I'm off merciless reality. I'm looking forward to the things that are going to come in the next few months...maybe just not my 8 AM classes and maybe my never ending breaks.

rising from ashes


one too many pizza pockets, an injured liver, burnt brain cells, missing pieces of the puzzle, tons of pictures, some drama, funny situations, and a burning bathroom...and now I'm sitting here.

I'm sorry blog, for being so uncaring and not posting anything for a little period of time. I've had a pretty hectic week filled with lots of events.

I have to say that I had tons of fun on New Years and I am partied out for an undetermined period of time... It feels so nice to be able to party and not have to worry about driving everyone safely, working the next day, or limiting myself because I have to come home where my parents will see me in an unstable state. I think it was a party well deserved for me after my year and the things I've been through. I hope 2009 brings many positive things and most importantly a lot of life lessons.

I was greeted by what you could call a not so pleasant surprise when I got home from my four day getaway. After a long week away from home, I figured a nice warm shower in my CLEAN bathroom would feel really good...I was wrong. My washroom has (or should say, had) a small convenient heater in the wall to ensure that the bathroom was nice and warm while you would shower. I turned this heater on before taking my shower and went back to doing my things. Half an hour later I heard a weird noise and my first reaction was to check the washroom...I opened the door and there was flames dancing together and growing across my bathroom walls. FLAMES!!!! Imagine facing flames after you've had a crazy week where you've barely slept and partied ridiculously. Thankfully, I did the right thing by calling 911 right away and making sure that the fire wouldn't spread. My house is fine, I'm alright and my parents are glad to know I'm alive...there are some damages, but it's better than not having a roof. If I would have waited five more minutes, according to a fireman, the kitchen would have caught on fire and the upstairs.

I think it was a sign, a sign that this year is all about appreciating what I have and living each day to its fullest. You never know when these things can happen or how quickly things can be put to an end. 2009 started out in flames, but hopefully it's like a phoenix...starting off as ashes and then turning into something strong and beautiful.
