Fortunes, movies, and quality time

Today has been LONG!!! Last night Jordan came over and we had dinner and caught up like old times. I've missed that girl! Anyway, we got absolutely NO sleep at all and stupid me forgot I had work thsi morning :( So as I wake up to a pounding headache, I finally get ready for work. I was totally dreading today. I just wanted to sleep alllll day. I never get to sleep in anymore!

A couple hours into working, the BEAUTIFUL sun came out and was beaming. It was about 78 degrees and completely perfect if you ask me! As soon as I get out of work the headache and sleepiness rushed back to me. I don't think I've been this tired in a loooong time. So my plans for tonight are simply eating take out, watching Redbox movies, and spending time with my mom. So relaxing! I love these kinds of nights! The only thing that's missing is Anthony :( whaaaaaaa! But I guess that means I'll just have to do this all over again tomorrow night when he gets back. I'm not complaining :)

Day 27- The song(s) you want played at your funeral

I have no clue! I just want it to be a song the suits me well or one of my favs!

Best friends for never

Growing up I've never had any true "best friends". Of course I had lots of "aquaintences" but I can't say that I had any true friends. All of the "best friends" I had growing up all stabbed me in the back one way or the other. Luckily I have a huge family and lots of cousins that are basically my sisters/brothers/best friends anyway...but sometimes I just wish I could say, "We've been friends since we were kids!" Maybe cause I was always more mature and never really enjoyed the company of people my age...I did try to just get over that and continue some of the friendsips I had but of course these girls were just bad news. I noticed that I'm just a litle too trusting towards people, which needs to stop! I guess you can say I am the type of person to wear my heart on my sleeve. Everyone knows I can be the sweetest girl but I'm also very opinionated and not afraid to say what's on my mind. Is that bad? I just want people who have the same interests and even morals and values?! Is that too much to ask for? Girls these days are just nasty, trashy girls who follow each other cause they don't have a mind of their own. When I leave this dump called Irving hopefully I'll meet some real people and I'll be able to say "We've been friends since college!"...For those few great friends I have, thanks for being you and being true to not only me but yourselves also!

-Olivia Elise

The calm after the storm

This weekend has been unreal. I'd say probably one of the toughest weekends I've had in the past couple of years. Watching the man I love go through something so heartwrenching and sucking up all of his emotions and trying not to shed a tear to keep his family strong...it broke my heart. Especially watching the rest of his family that I care deeply for, weeping and heartbroken really made me just as sad. No pain compares to having a loss of a grandparent, mother, sibling, etc... I can only imagine how much it hurts. Some times I felt completely helpless. I wanted to do so many things for them and couldn't find the ways to do it. I just did what I could, and that was to comfort and support them throughout this unfortunate loss. The funeral is this Wednesday and I still ask for your prayers and thoughts for Ant and his family.

On a brighter note, I also got to visit some family as I was leaving back to Dallas. I went to visit my Uncle Hector and I FINALLY got to see my cousin Madison's apartment in San Marcos! Why the hell has it taken me this long to finally swing by?! haha It was such a breath of fresh air seeing her! I needed my best friend! After a quick hour of seeing her I had to get back on the road :( Luckily I got home right on time to see the season premiere of Kourtney and Kim Take New York! I've been waiting for this show foreverrrrr now and I love it! Unfortunately I forgot I had homework later that night and was working on 2 papers and tons of reading all the way into the AM. Boooo! That being said, I got no sleep whatsoever. Can you say exhausted? After my long day and lack of sleep I finally got to squeeze a nap in. I already can tell this is going to be a long exhausting week and I'm completely dreading it.

Long story short, I want this week to go by and Anthony back home :(

Day 25- List the people you have slept with

WTF! What kind of question is this?!

Day 24- The last photo taken of you and someone else

I believe I've already posted this picture in another post, but this is the last picture I've taken with "someone else" and obviously it's Anthony ;)

Day 23- The next plan you have coming that you're really excited for

SPRING BREAK!
The next "vacation" would technically be spring break and I have some plans up my sleeve. This last summer Anthony and I went to Florida to visit my grandma and we had a blast! Not to mention that Anthony experienced his first plane ride and first time on a beach! I was so excited to share those experiences with him! This spring break I was thinking of going back to Florida and going to...DISNEY WORLD! I've been to Disney world about 50 times in my life and I absolutely love it! No matter the age, you instantly turn into a 5 year old and everything just makes you so happy! Since Anthony has never been I thought it'd be neat for me to experience another first with him! I know he'd just love it...and if not, then i'll make him love it damn it! lol

There is also the Ultra Music Festival the weekend of March 25-27. I've been wanting to go for a while and that'd be amazing if we went! I'd be in music heaven! I guess we'll have to wait things out and see what happens. Just thinking about all of this is making me so excited! I can't wait!

-Olivia Elise

Long day ahead

So tomorrow I'm driving down to San Antonio to be with Ant and his family. Mainly just to help Ant get through this tough time. Although it'll be a little rough, I'm just so eager to hug and kiss him again. He's been gone for practically 2 weeks (not counting the tuesday when he came home for about 2 hours). Him being gone has really taken a toll on me and has really opened up my eyes to what life is going to be like when he moves to SA in May. It's so tough being away from him. Not having my bestfriend to talk to or to joke around with...not having my boyfriend to hold me or kiss me...it's just so hard :( We usually spend every single day with each other...or at least try to. But of course Anthony reassured me everything was going to be fine and that we can get through anything and this will just make us stronger, and I agree. I'm so thankful to have such a great guy. I can't wait to see him and spend a little time with him before I have to go to school on Monday. Seeing him will be a breath of fresh air! Only concern I have is that I'm driving all by myself. I hate being by myself! Especially driving...for 5 hours! Ugh, I guess we'll see how this goes! Pray for me! haha

Say cheese!

Today my little sisters had their birthday photo shoot! Holy cow, I can't believe Allie is going to be 4 and Ava is going to be 2! Time flies so fast! Anyway, my mom wanted me to go with her and help since those two are a big ball of madness! We decided to take the pics in downtown Denton. The shoot was a little urban and fun! They looked so precious! Poor babies were freezing though! But I know the pictures are going to turn out awesome and it'll be well worth it! My mom also did a lot of convincing and if they didn't cry and smiled pretty then they'd get McDonalds! Haha gotta love mama! Now it's definitely time for a nap...or in my case, time to blog. Here's just a little preview of the pics they took with their second outfit...


LOUD

Just gotta put out there that I'm in love with Rihanna's new CD. I think I'm a little late but just gotta put it out there! Ahhhhh



S&M- Rihanna

White party. Hmmm...

So I'm watching The Real Housewives of Beverley Hills and on this episode they're throwing a "white party" where everyone has to wear white cocktail attire! Ahhh I so wanna do that! That is a great party idea for the summer! Who's down?!



-Olivia Elise

Skins!

Tonight is the premier of Skins and i'm super excited! I'm so curious and anxious to see what this show is like! Seems like a more graphic and intense version of Degrassi and I'm like in love with Degrassi haha...I did hear though that the original Skins is way better than what this show will turn out to be. I guess I'll just have to check out both!

MTV @ 10/9c



-Olivia Elise

MLK

Martin Luther King Jr. -"I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."

Today is MLK day and I think this is definitely a day to celebrate and give thanks! Without MLK I wouldn't have the privilage of knowing many of the friends that I have today!

Here comes the bride..

Today after church, I went with my cousin Cherie to the Ft. Worth Bridal Show and had a blast! Maybe I had such a great time because I one day want to be an event planner and maybe even a wedding planner? Anyway, there was tons of booths with videographers, photographers, restaurants, venues, honeymoon ideas and even a fashion show! I got so giggly you would've thought I was the one getting married haha! After walking around we discovered a photo booth and had to get in there! As soon as we were done with that one we saw 3 other kinds of photo booths too! You already know what we did...lol It was like kids in a candy store! Today gave us extra time to bond with one another and enjoy each others company! I seriously can't wait till I get to do all of this for myself! But until then, I'll just help Cherie :)

P.S. ...some of these pictures are hideous! But of course that makes it 100x better! lol



-Olivia Elise

Day 22- Song lyrics you can really relate to at the moment

This one is tough! I have so much going on right now. But I will come back and fill this one in for sure!

-Olivia Elise

Saturday, January 15, 2011

Day 21- Another celebrity you'd like in your bed

Same as question #1
and...
       Mr.Mayer of course (He could sing to me all day! I'd love that!)

-Olivia Elise

Day 20- Favorite smell


Men's cologne! Mmmm

Especially Curve

--Olivia Elise

Day 19- A picture of your handwriting

Don't have any pictures of my handwriting. It wouldn't even matter anyways cause my handwriting varies depending on my mood. Weird?


Soooo I was writing some stuff down in my planner and just decided to take a picture of one of my cubes...lol



-Olivia Elise

Day 18- The first big purchase you'd make if you won the lottery

If I won the lottery the first thing I'd put my money towards would have to be school with out a doubt! I mean, hellooooo...who wants to have to pay off student loans foreverrrrrrr.

Other than that, I'd prolly get a bad ass loft in Dallas and live the good life ;)

-Olivia Elise

Day 17- Favorite youtube channel that you're subscribed to

I don't follow a channel I just go to look up music!


-Olivia Elise

Just got my ass kicked and it's never felt so good!

You must be thinking I'm crazy when you read my title but it's not what you think! I just got done with my first day of P90x and I feel so sore yet so refreshed at the same time! I'm embarrassed to say it, but I haven't worked out in about 4 months! Ahhhh! But I've convinced myself to get back into the swing of things and get on track with my fitness routines! My senior year I weighed about 137, and that's when I was in cheerleading, so I had tons of muscle that was built up from freshman year all the way till senior year. I weighed myself today and I'm 127! 10 pounds lighter than I was! Of course I was happy to see a number so low considering I've always been in the 130's, but then it dawned on me that it's gone down because I no longer have any muscle :( Wahhhh! But after doing today's work out and starting to run again I know I'll get that ideal body that I want back! Can't wait to whip my body back into shape!

-Olivia Elise

Day 16- A list of songs that make you emotional

Mama's Song- Carrie Underwood
-Of course any CU song makes me cry for some reason, but this one does the trick. I just know this will be my song to my mother once I get married since we're so close and she's been the #1 parent in my life. Especially since my cousin and uncle are getting married this year and all this wedding talk has got me thinking about my wedding one day.


-Olivia Elise

Day 15- Something you regret

This one is a toughie...I have done some things in my past in which I regret..but after thinking about it, I don't regret anything that I've done in my life. Good or bad! Everything that I've done or been through has genuinely made me the person I am today. Without going through any of those obstacles, I know for a fact I'd probably be a huge mess. I've learned that life's definitely too short to regret anything. When I think of regret I just see it as a waste of time. There is no point in regretting anything you've done because it's done and in the past and there is no way of taking it back. I've learned that first hand. Just love others, shut out the hate, and enjoy life!

Day 14- A letter to someone. Anyone..

Dad,

How do I start this...you know we haven't really had a close relationship growing up. I wish we did, but I really feel like you just didn't try. It really hurt me growing up and knowing that you'd rather be off on your own doing whatever you wanted and couldn't pick up the phone to call me. You have no idea how hurt I was being a little girl and not having you in my life. Of course I had my awesome mother and family to love me unconditionally, but sometimes I felt like it wasn't enough. Now that I'm older, I see your ways and have very little respect for you. Yes, I can see you're "trying" but I feel like it's not all you, and that you have other people telling you to send me a card every once in a while. I still never get a call from you, but by this point I'm used to it and it doesn't hurt as much. Ever since Alfonso came into my life and took over the dad role that was supposed to be yours, I feel in a sense that I've been healed. He's cared about me just as if I was his actual daughter. To me, that is a man. He not only takes care of me but my mother also and I have the up most respect for him. You may get upset that I call him "Dad" but to tell the truth he has been my dad for half of my life now, and will continue to be my dad forever. If you read this, then I apologize for being so harsh, but it's the truth. I do love you very much...I just wish you would have tried a little harder.

-Olivia Elise

Day 13- What you want more than anything right now

To be on the beach, with my boyfriend, and not having a care in the world! ...Hey Ant! How about we try Hawaii next time?
                     

-Olivia Elise

Day 12- Someone/something you dont like

Trust me, there are some of people I don't like, but of course I'm not going to make myself look trashy or waste my time and name those people that I clearly don't care about! :)


But a few of my pet peeves would have to be...


A. Cheaters- Why be with someone if you're only going to hurt them? I just don't get that.


B. Girls/guys who do things not because they want to, but because others want them to do it. Speak up for yourself and quit being a follower! It's really annoying!


C. Bad breath and bad teeth. Just grosses me out!


-Olivia Elise

Day 11- Links to all the websites and online profiles you have

I only have a facebook, twitter, and now a blogger! If you're reading this now then we're either friends on FB or twitter.

First video blog!

 
Ew, my face on the video is ugly! haha but I hope you enjoy!

-Olivia Elise

You are my forever love

I just can't stop thinking about this boy!

I was in football heaven! Hopefully this next Cowboy football season we can get more tickets! I had a blast! Here are some pictures from that night...

                                 LSU running out of the tunnel! So awesome!
                                                         My parents and I
                                                              My dad and I
                                      We were literally right there! I loved it!
                        My dad's fav part...the A&M marching band

-Olivia Elise

Day 09- A song that has lyrics you've consider getting tattooed

I've never really thought about a specific song or lyric, but i'll let you know when I find one! Even though my mom and family would disown me if I got a tattoo. Booo :(


If I did ever get one though I'd want one in the same spot that Katy Perry has hers!



-Olivia Elise

Day 08- A photo of someone you fancy at the moment

Katy B, all the way! She's from the UK! Love her music! Check her out if you haven't already!

Day 04- The best concert you have been to

 I would have to say Warped Tour 08! Gym Class Heroes, Katy Perry, Paramore, The Secret Handshake, and a lot more! It was hot as hell but definitely worth every second! Can't wait for Warped 2011!

-Olivia Elise

Day 03- A photo of you in drunken state

             I think this photo speaks for itself! (Mom don't be mad at me!)

-Olivia Elise

Day 02- List 5 of your favorite movie, and why they're your favorite

I have way more than 5 favorites so here are just a FEW that I love!

1. Singing in the Rain- I grew up watching this movie along with a lot of other old musicals. If you know me then you know how obsessed I am with musicals! This is one of my all-time favs for sure!

2. Devine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood- I thought this had a great story line and It was such a fun movie to watch!

3. Funny Girl- Again, ANOTHER old musical that I grew up watching! It's insane how I can quote this movie from beginning to end!

4. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days- This movie cracks me up!!! I could watch this over and over again!

5. Easy A- I absolutely LOVED this movie and I can defnitely say this is in my top 5! Hilarious!

 Here is a little clip from the movie Singing in the Rain. LOVE this movie!!!!

Missing Anthony :(

So Anthony has been gone for about 2 days now and I miss him terribly :( We spend literally EVERY DAY together and not having him here with me makes me so sad and a bit lonely to be honest...Although I want to be selfish and have him home, he is where he needs to be. His grandma is very ill and doesn't have much time left with us. I need to push all my selfishness aside and let him fully enjoy his grandma! I love him and his family and want them to know that I'm here for not only Anthony but them as well!

Well on another note, this past year with Anthony has probably been one of the best years of my life! He is my boyfriend and best friend and I wouldn't have it any other way! He makes me completely happy and I love him with all my heart! He never fails to make me smile or suprise me. He always makes sure to tell me that he loves me and that I look beautiful even on my bad days! I love that about him! There is never a dull moment when we're together! He makes me laugh uncontrollably and is a total goof ball ;) Long story short, I am so incredibly lucky to have him and I can't wait for the years to come!





-Olivia Elise

2011 Resolutions

I've come up with a couple of resolutions for the new year. I always put the typical "lose weight", "diet", and "workout" but I wanted to switch it up a bit and think of something I REALLY want to accomplish. Here are a few..

1. Have a better attitude and be POSITIVE! (Everyone knows I can be a little moody sometimes, but I'm really wanting to work on it!)

2. Bottom line, NO FAST FOOD! (It really is so unhealthy and lately I've been catching myself eating it every other day! I am in serious need of getting back into my healthy ways)

3. To motivate myself and others! (I really find it important to always stay motivated. Without motivation you can steer yourself in the wrong direction and I dont want that for myself or anyone else!)

4. Spend more time with my baby sisters. (I feel like I don't spend enough time with them. They're growing up incredibly fast and I don't want to miss any exciting moments of them growing up!)

5. Be the best girlfriend I can be! (I honestly feel like I do everything to be the best girlfriend, although I do have my moments of PMS and poor Anthony has to deal with it haha. I just always want to be the best for him!)

6. STUDY STUDY STUDY! (I want to do unbelievably awesome this semester! I am trying to buckle down and really focus on transferring to a university!)

Anyway...those are a few of my many resolutions for this new year of 2011.
If I come up with some more then I'll add them to the list!

-Olivia Elise

Prayers and thoughts

Please pray for Anthony's grandmother, Ama. She is very sick and can use all the prayers and thoughts!

P.S. This is a picture of her from her younger years. Isn't she beautiful!?

New year. Fresh start.

HELLO EVERYONE! I've finally gotten a blog and I'm so excited to start writing! Let me just start with a special thanks to Madison Harrington for inspiring me to start this. Reading her blogs have truly motivated me to write and have inspired me to challenge myself in many different ways with this blog. Hopefully I'll develop this as a new hobby! I'll write about family, college, love, friends, and even random thoughts that come to mind. I'm so stoked and can't wait to fully get this blog into gear! For those who are reading, hopefully I can inspire and motivate you as well. Here we gooooooo!
