Random poetry post of the day...

Where once conversation flowed freely,
Now it's still as death
Hurt piles upon hurt
In this river red
Wound upon wound
As the dead fight the dead.

-By me

Gotta be fair...

I figured I might as well be fair with my nieces...

I kept showing cute pictures of them as babies... and it will undoubtedly embarrass them like I intended it to do so.

Sooooooo... I put one of myself as a little brat... see? I can admit I was a brat.

Anyway the above pic is of me and my cousin Jenna.

Yes... I was cute and adorable once. Gosh... what happened?????

Let the therapy continue...

Since I've already traumatized my nieces... I figure I might as well go all out and bring out more pictures...

I can't help but pick on my nieces...

My niece drinking milk when she was small... heck... she's still small... she needs to drink more milk...

P.S. See that mess in the background? Yeah well this little person helped create it...

Random Art Post of the Day...

I got sent this by a friend (among many other random crazy -but interesting- art pictures like this and what not)

and I found 11 faces... so apparently... that makes me "extremely observer"...

Can someone tell me what "extremely observer" means???

My Nieces: when they were still small...

My nieces are sooooo going to hate me for this... but it's ok... one day... after years and years of pointless therapy... they'll finally be able to laugh along with me...

Haha...

Awwwwwww they just grew up sooooo fast...

Hahaha...

Someday my nieces will thank me for reminding them how cute they looked as babies...

Hahahaha...

Sorry my loves... just couldn't pass it up...

AND... Hahahahaha...

Therapy here they come!

Random picture post...

Left to Right: Father, Sister, Mother, Me.

I was three years old in this picture. It was during my sister's debut in the Philippines. I actually wore the color pink... ugh.

They are all focused on saying hello to someone or smiling at the camera (or in my dad's case not) and I -I am focused on my food. That's the way Carmel's world turns.

Grumpiness is an understatement...

So I was grumpy yesterday... actually no. Saying I was "grumpy" is putting it too midly. I was downright ANGRY for the majority of yesterday. It was a pretty bad day and one thing kept happening after another... then when I got home and people told me they had a bad day or something when they didn't really go through anything -yeah, I just wanted to strangle them.

But anyway, that's not what I am blogging about. The truth is, I'm sorry I was snapping left and right. Today was much better and I apologize for being angry and holding it in.

And on a good note, all the frustration and work I did yesterday, got me another raise. :) Dang straight!

And on that note, I end this post with a song that I fell in love with... from someone very close to my heart.

"Ordinary People" on the John Legend album Get Lifted

Girl I'm in love with you
This ain't the honeymoon
Pas the infatuation phase
Right in the thick of love
It seems like we argue everyday

I know I misbehaved
And you made your mistakes
And we both still got room left to grow
And though love sometimes hurts
I still put you first
And we'll make this thing work
But I think we should take it slow

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow

This ain't a movie no
No fairy tale conclusion ya'll
It gets more confusing everyday
Sometimes it's heaven sent
Then we head back to hell again
We kiss then we make up on the way

I hang up you call
We rise and we fall
And we feel like just walking away
As our love advances
We take second chances
Thought it's not a fantasy
I still want you to stay

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow

Take it slow
Maybe we'll live and learn
Maybe we'll crash and burn
Maybe you'll stay, maybe you'll leave,
Maybe you'll return,
Maybe another fight
Maybe we won't survive
But maybe we'll grow
We never know baby YOU and I

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Heyyy)
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take is slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow
