The day my braces came off ... a special day celebrated by literally anyone who's ever had braces. This moment was very validating and relieving because I felt pretty and the waiting, as well as the pain was finally gone. Also sometime at the end of this month, I passed my driving test for my license with only one mistake (late blinker). Unfortunately I didn't take a picture that day.

My 18th Birthday was the literal best. He took me to go see the cast of TWD at PaleyFest in LA. I was over the moon that night, driving around the lit up city with my love. It was like I was dreaming the entire time. Very grateful for this memory for sure 💜

~July 10, 2017~ Well it sure has been a long time since I’ve written an entry, and a lot has happened. Since the last entry in February, the big things that have happened since: I had an awesome 18th birthday in March, got my braces of and went to prom in April, went to Disneyland for Grad Nite and graduated high school in May, and went on the first family vacation in June. But now it’s July and I’m stuck in a rut. I need a job and I’m so nervous for college, in which the overnight orientation is in two weeks and all I feel is deafening dread. As for job searching goes, I have opportunities out there but of course my anxiety always gets the better of me … sometimes I think I need help. I just hope I find the strength and courage to do the things that I want. ❤️ One thing that recently made me happy was being able to spend time with him on his birthday. I love him with all my heart and I’m so grateful for everything he does for me and for us. I hope to be there for him on many more birthdays to come.

~February 16, 2017~ I’ve recently been stressing out about schoolwork, college, and whatnot but the past two days have made it all okay. Valentine’s day was simple yet perfect. He surprised me with a giant stuffed koala, chips, chocolates, and flowers. Surprises like that make me realize how blessed I am to have someone’s love that is so strong as ours. Now tonight we went on a date. We had some yummy crepes and talked about everything, from jobs to school and a little bit of our possible future family. After dinner, we hit the shops and walked around and talked more. There’s never a dull moment with the love of my life and I’m grateful for everything he’s done and everything we have together.

~February 10, 2017~ It certainly has been a while and it’s been interesting. I’ve already received four college acceptance letters, but I’m waiting to hear from the last one UCI. I feel like I’m wanting and ready for a change … maybe I will end up moving out but time will only tell. The middle of January was probably the worst time ever. I felt like I was getting nowhere in life because I could’ve pursued my opportunities but I didn’t because of my anxiety and fears. I searched hard for a job and felt that I was finally getting somewhere, but that road quickly ended and I haven’t tried again in a month. So I think right now I’ll be okay with myself not advancing too fast in my current life. Not only that, but I was having major difficulties with Nathan and our relationship. On and off, we just weren’t clicking like we used to and we even almost broke up to take a break from it all. But now a month later, we are strong again and we still love each other … it’s just that our communications were doing bad and we needed to be refreshed. I finally realized we didn’t have to take a break but instead I just needed more affection and attention. Now, we’re happy and more in love and we’re working on better understanding each other’s needs and desires. Overall, I really feel like I climbed a mountain and I’m happy and proud about how far I’ve come and how close we are to graduation 👩🏽🎓

~January 3rd, 2017~ Christmas and New Year’s are over, and break is almost over. We spent Christmas Eve at grandma’s and ate soo much food, it was amazing. Then we spent Christmas Day at Tia Connie’s with all our cousins and had a great time. Next came New Year’s, Nate and I spent our first holiday together and it was the best. We had dinner at home and then made a pillow fort and watch SAO inside. My first ever New Year’s kiss with the one I’ve loved for three years. With the start of this nee year, I’m excited for what 2017 has in store for me.

~December 20, 2016~ It’s almost Christmas, tomorrow is my last day of finals, but I’m just so tired and so done with everything. Long nights of studying ruins my mood and it’s awful. This season is going by so fast, seems like just last week it was Thanksgiving. We made tamales this past weekend and they were amazing, I can’t wait to eat more and spend time with family this coming up weekend. I just don’t want to think about school and responsibilities right now.

~October 30, 2016~ We celebrated Halloween a bit early this year, since it is tragically on a Monday. But on Friday I dressed up as Steven Universe, my bf dressed as Negan and my friend dressed as Carl. Last night was so much fun as well, I was supposed to be a cat for my bf’s Halloween party. We ended up fooling around outside in the streets, which was fun and we even got the chance to talk to each other about ourselves on the most personal level… so something may come out of that conversation 👻

~October 23, 2016~ This weekend was lots of fun because The Walking Dead came back... but sadly we lost Glenn and Abraham. I was so shocked and devastated, I still have no words to describe how I feel about what the future might hold now that Glenn is gone. But I'm so grateful that I got to watch this stressful episode with my man and family, I really needed them afterwards. We love you Glenn, forever in our hearts 💕

~September 28, 2016~ Took a field trip to Wrightwood with my AP Environmental Science class today. It was so nice to escape the city where it was over 90 degrees and come here and explore the wilderness. Had so much fun with friends and just enjoying being in the forest 🌲

~September 10, 2016~ Had such an amazing day today! I actually got out of the house and into public, feel great! Babe picked me up and we went to eat lunch with his dad at this good Filipino restaurant. Afterwards we went to the movies and watched Kubo, which was outstanding btw. It had a great message, was emotional af (which I loved), and stop motion animation is always fun. Then we strolled around the mall and I even got my hands on a Flareon! Overall was a fun day that I needed really badly and was grateful to spend it with my love on our 2 year and 9 month anniversary❤️

~September 4, 2016~ I’ve been a little soul-searchy and sad today… It’s almost as if I want to reach out to old friends and family that I haven’t seen in so long and reminisce with them. But our lives are so different now… And it’s not so easy to bring our paths of life together anymore. Oh September, how you always seem to bring me these autumn feels…🍂

~August 22, 2016~ Didn’t have such a great day at school but I ended today with some ice cream and my driving permit! Yay! I’m super excited about starting to drive (finally)… And I hope the rest of this week school turns out better than today was.

~August 19, 2016~ Today was all about fun, even though we had school it was still fun. Woke up early this Friday for Senior Sunrise and had some coffee and donuts with my love and friends. I had three tests today (wow) but I made it through all of them, hopefully I did well. During lunch today, Nate told me he wanted to start watching Steven Universe so we watched the pilot episode. And for me, I’ve started watching the show Heroes. Nate and I walked to the park with Maddie in the evening looking for Pokemon. Overall, very fun way to end the week and I’m so grateful for my friends and my boyfriend💛

~August 12, 2016~ After a long, first week of school, we got to go on a little dinner date (for his brother’s birthday really..). But it was the perfect way to end the week, good food and lots of laughs. This week was stressful for the both of us and I wish I wasn’t so paranoid all the time, but I can’t help it! I’m just so grateful to finally have lunch with the love of my life! I know we can make our last year of high school great, as long as we stick together ☺️💗

~August 2, 2016~ I spent an amazing day with my boyfriend today. Our luck changed for the better and the stars smiled upon us today. We had a little date which consisted of eating, sleeping, watching movies, and going to the park. Simplicity is bliss and happiness all around us on this fateful day❣
