OK... so, I just returned from the best vacation trip ever.. I'll never forget it.. My companions and I went through trials and tribulations, but we pulled through and I had the time of my life.. You come to notice how blessings come out of problems.. As seen here:

DAY 1: Drove to Grapevine.. was going to stay at Embassy Suites (2 bedroom penthouse suite... nniiiiiicccceeeeeee).. met up with my best friend from THIRD GRADE and some of her friends who all flew in from San Antonio.. FIRST SETBACK: You suddenly have to be 21 to check in (as opposed to 18 on their website from which our rooms were prepaid with credit card)... hmm.. OK.. First question that comes to mind: WHERE ARE WE GOING TO SLEEP?? We are in a new place.. don't know anybody around.. PLEASE don't have a panic attack..

We were directed to Gaylord Texan (mighty inviting name, ey?) to stay.. Since I drove down there, we take my car and arrive... and WOW.. it looked like a honeymoon resort.. located right next to a lake.. spas, jogging trails, luxury GALORE.. and not to mention MUCH cheaper than embassy suites (their emblem a capital E with a circle around it, no doubt meaning emasculate employment.. HA!).. So anyways, we head to Six Flags (free- since some of my companions work at another six flags.. ) and try every crazy ride we have time for.. (by the way, Batman rocks!).. We leave at 10 (closing time).. and

SECOND SETBACK: Car starts.. steering wheel doesn't turn... SHIT. It's dark, no transportation.. six flags is CLOSED.. parents and money to fix it- hundreds of miles away.. WONDERFUL.. call dad: fluids are all good.. stranger's voice from behind, "Check the belt".. alright.. yes.. yes, it does look loose.. I tug on it, it comes off completely.. Turn around, it's a man with a warm smile.. his 4-year-old son at his side.. To sum it up, he drove us around to five different shops to see if we could get my car fixed tonight.. Well, 2 of them were closed, and the other three didn't have my belt.. Got back to the car, thanked the good samaritan for his help.. and we ended up taking a cab back to the hotel (cost $50!! got there by 1) and passing OUT..

DAY 2: Friend's mother's best friend helped us out.. drove us back to the car, got it towed to Pep Boyz.. (DAD- thank GOD for him, but a couple hundred in my account.. I LOVE ATMS).. THIRD SETBACK: turns out the belt broke because the water pipe broke. total cost: 450 dollars. All the money I have (including what my father sent me): 460 dollars... PHEW.. YES, it's alot, but goodness sakes, God was watching over us.. Auto tech said he'd try and get it done within the next 3 hours AND he'd take off 10%.. 2 1/2 hours later, car fixed.. and because they couldn't replace a certain gauge just as a precautionary procrdure), it was $100 cheaper.. still gave me 10% off.. WOW.. what a day..

the rest of the trip was a breeze.. The next day we went to the GIGANTIC mall, Hurricane Harbor, and Six Flags aGANE.. Next day, friends flew out, then met up with friends from Korea.. wow.. it had been so long.. had a very personal breakthrough.. ummm... we're not going to get into that... TWENTY-TWO... lol.. and I got home yesterday... I'll never forget this past week.. as sappy as that sounds.. lol

I've been raised to believe that racism is unacceptable... and therefore, i do not mesh with any racists.. how can one do that, when somebody I care about is one?  What happens now?  I can't help who I am attracted to or who I hang around with... It's who I am.  And yet, I'm told by this person that I only THINK that's who I am... I don't know how to handle this situation as this person deliberately told me not to try to change this person's mind.. As we have had countless fights about it.. How are you supposed to deal with it? Maybe not solve, but at least settle with each other's differences..? Because apparently, this person will not settle for being satisfied with who I am and just leave it at that.. This person wants me to change.. I cannot, will not do that..

I'm soooo tired. The past couple of weeks has been so crazy.  I'm just waitin until summer comes.. And drama is drivin me insane.. Ooh, people lately... What is the purpose of being fake? What benefit does that have?  You lose pride in yourself, and you lose respect from others, so why do it?? And I know I'm going to continue to meet more people who are like that, but geez.. who do you think you are fooling?  ANYWAYS, onto better things, Ima start working soon, my mind on my money and my money on my mind.. honestly! Well, partly.. I don't know.. Lately, I've been really.. hmm.. a lack for a better word, lonely.  That sounds really depressing, but I don't think it is.. Everybody wants somebody to have and to hold.. And lately, I've really missed that intimacy.. Just gotta let things happen.. or not happen, whatever way God plans for things to work out.. and they always do 

OK.. so, I just created this today.. Everybody was saying, "You need to get one.." So eyy, I got one.  Spring break is over!! Time to get back to work.. Break was aite.. Some good days, some bad.  Just gotta take life as it comes.
