Learn From Their Mistakes. Today was coo (I guess) :/ I learned that it's okay to be yourself around new people. Like, It's coo to talk to otha people without having to feel guilty ya know? cuz some people + just to be friends + real coo associates. You don't have to like everybody you meet. Cuz I know I flirt alot so..to me that's a good lesson learned. :) Especially when they look "good" or they got gear and all that other materialistics bull-iish. It ain't gone get you nothing but attention, and what ood is that?? And another thing money ain't everything either. I mean of course it sounds good when you gettin everything you want..DUH!! But I mean what good is all those clothes + shoes when you + you're loved one (and /or kids) are hungry or need a place to stay?? Then what are you suppose to do?? I mean I think it's okay to buy a couple outfits and shoes for yourself or whatever(of course) but I think all that stuff should apply when?? 1.You out of yo mama crib 2.You in yo own stable environment(+ you ain't gotta worry about coming bacc) 3.you're fully independant SO SERIOUS!! If none of those 3 apply, they maybe you need to rethink yo life REAL TALK!! Espcially if your PASS teenage years. But hey that's just my opinion you know? Everybody has their own perspective right?? So that's why I'm planning what I wanna be + asking all he possible questions about my career. Becuase I have witnessed several people (who are VERY close to me) that I think in the past were my idols, because then they had something going fot themselves, and they were doing something with their lives. But now their miserable. I'm talking relationship wise, financially, mentially, socially and everything. And In their younger years had great things going for them that's why they were my idols, but somehow they seem to have got on the wrong traks and everything ain't goin so well. : ..( And I hope to come back in the NEAR future and add a more disceet sentence about them maybe even one that has their names in it and says that their doing GOOD at the moment. I DID feel guilty about saying this kind of stuff about my own family but then again I gotta learn from someone's mistakes right?? But it just seems like people procrastinate and say "oh yea imma do dis imma dat" and most of the time it never gets done. And I believe that's why I have a hard time putting my trust in people because I've been sufficated by habituous liars. So, but I do appreciate it + I am thankful for it because every time they slip and drop the ball it reminds me : TO GET THE JOB DONE!! So I won't end up like some of the people I love and care about but I do pray for they I know The Lord WILL come through for me because he always does.

I expect from others, is everything. I expect people to show me respect- love-courage-fun-passion. Everything. I guess that is why I get so disappointed all the time. I give everything I have to give, and I get nothing or little back from other.

Sometimes i just dont understand what ive done wrong. one day he acts like he loves me, the next he acts like i annoy him. im trying to become a better girlfriend, but hes not trying to be a better boyfriend. it doesnt help that all his friends are younger and more immature and dont have serious girlfriends to understand his situation. i think when he gets around them, he changes. into this "single" guy who doesnt give a fuck about me. im always tryna talk about our problems and tryna resolve it, but just randomly outta nowhere hell make it seem like he dont wanna try. when just yesterday he told me "i love you" "i miss you" "im thinking about you". and today i say "am i ur girlfriend" and he tells me "not really." and i say ur throwing me off telling me u love me one day and the next im not ur girlfriend. and he tells me "u threw me off when you moved out". is he tryna make me feel guilty? is he having money issues? financial problems stressing him out? and he blames me? i wanna work things out but how can i with someone whos not willing to try...instead i think to myself why dont i just walk away from all of this. just say fuck him and end it all for good... one day were okay. the next it seems like its all over. its this up and down roller coaster. ive try to change.. ive been making him dinner, avoiding issues i would usually argue about that upsets me... but i guess he doesnt see it. hes too stubborn to see where im coming from.. i kno theres a lot hes done, or hasnt done,to upset me, but im tryna see from his point of view and quitting all the "nagging", the fighting, the arguing.. im tryna do things for him to remember why he fell for me. but with him.. he just doesnt see me as something fortunate to have.. what do i do? i love him.. i dont want all this to end.. i just want everything to be okay again

You've got your mother and your brother
Every other undercover telling you what to say
You think I'm stupid but the truth is that it's cupid baby loving you has made me insane
So before you point your finger
Get your hand off of my trigger
You need to know the situations getting old
And now the more you talk the less I can take

I'm looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go
Well if you don't have the answer
Why you still standing here
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away

I waited here for you like a kid waiting after school
So tell me, how come you never showed
I gave you everything and never asked for anything
And look at me, I'm all alone
So before you start defending
Stop all your pretending
I know you know I know so what's the point of being slow
Let's get this show on the road today

I'm looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go
Well if you don't have the answer
Why you still standing here
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away

I want a love
I want a fire
To feel the burn, my desires
I want a man by my side
Not a boy who runs and hides
Are you gonna fight for me, die for me
Live and breathe for me
Do you care for me
Cause if you don't then just leave

I'm looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go
Well if you don't have the answer
Why you still standing here
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away

Today is our one year anniversary and we are having an okay time. I really just wish that I could walk away and be completely self-confident in myself to know that I will be able to find someone else who is better for me and who will treat me better. Well I should get going, we are going out for our anniversary. Have a good night!

The Sweetheart
This meeting planner is the reason you are an event manager. She is experienced and flexible with a heart of gold. Your suggestions are considered as carefully as her own, and the best course of action is always chosen. Although she may be on a budget, that amount is clearly communicated to you from the beginning. In fact, everything is clearly communicated in advance. Some people may believe this type of meeting planner is imaginary, but I know first hand that they do exist! They are very rare, and almost always work with someone other than you, but when you can find one of these rare creatures be sure to cultivate a relationship. Perhaps when you most need it, she will find you!

Today was not so much of a hectic day.
I was at Starbucks by 8 in the morning! So imagine how early I woke up! Anyway, the manager was very nice. He needs a copy of all my papers (once again) and so I need to go back tomorrow. I think I go back there once more and I'll kill someone...lol! I feel like such a loser going there everyday! I swear :P

The day was very hot! It was 32 degrees and I got a huge headache half way through the day which hasn't gone away -_- I read in the terrace while I read a little...I think I might've gotten a bit of a tan! haha. The girls' came over for lunch today! It was great. Karin fell asleep in my bed for about two hours -_- lmao.

I also spoke to my parents today! :) They're so cute. I swear I miss them so much!! I can't wait till I see them in December and get pampered by my maid and grandma, mummy and daddy! hehehe.

Filip comes home in 4 days. Waiting seems eternal :(

Anyway, Im gonna go wash the dishes from dinner and then try to get some sleep. I need to rest since I think tomorrow I'll probably be going out to a bar or something and I have to wake up early the next day since I have class.

Oh, I just downloaded a bunch of M2M songs, I was feeling nostalgic! haha

I Am Grateful That:

God is gracious.

He sent His Son to die for me.

He raised Christ from the dead.

Jesus is at the right-hand of the Father, making intercession for me.

The Holy Spirit is the best friend I can have.

In my youth, I was not aware that my expectations for others were set too high...thus, I had very few friends. But now that I am older, and I hope, wiser, I know that expecting too much from others leaves one alienated. Having high expectations of others, means having a self-serving agenda of my own, that I would like my friends, loved ones to adhere to against their own will. That would not be the way to honor those I care about.

However, I do expect to be treated with respect where I have also done so. Accepting people in their entirety is a freeing and friend-keeping way to see others...but to accept negative behaviors that are abusive or intrusive to my overall health and well-being is not an option.

Steps 1-5: Getting Ready to Let Go Step 1. Admit you have a problem. Although this sounds easy, it often is the hardest step. Why is it that everyone else can see what's wrong, but you don't believe them? Are all those people who love you wrong? No. Your solution to painful feelings has been to control your body through your eating disorder. Now your eating disorder controls you. Admit it: Your life is out of control. Step 2. Believe two things: "Change is possible" and "I deserve to have a better life." Repeat these two statements to yourself, especially the one concerning a healthier, happier existence. Step 3. Make a decision to change. Decide to tolerate whatever feelings come up if you begin to change your behaviors surrounding food and your body. With the right support and the benefit of time, you will be able to tolerate the uncomfortable and unpredictable feelings that accompany change. Step 4. Make an inventory of the problems you need to address. Be honest about the things you do to hurt or punish yourself. Write down every symptom, from how you eat, to how you exercise, to how you punish yourself for eating, to how you try to lose weight, and to how you degrade and criticize yourself and try so hard to be perfect and need no one. All of these are behaviors you need to change. Again, be painfully honest about how you treat yourself—this inventory will help guide later steps to recovery. Step 5. Share your inventory with someone who can help you. In other words, come clean! Admit your problems and imperfections—people will still care about you. In fact, doing so may draw you closer to others, as they will begin to understand the agony you have been living. You won't have to "act" all the time, and you can concentrate on being yourself. Just be sure that the person you share this with really can help. Your doctor may be a good person to start with, but a therapist or dietitian can help you formulate an exact plan for the next steps. Steps 6-12—Giving up the Game Step 6. Develop a plan, but keep it simple. A contract needs to include attainable goals and not be overly ambitious or complicated. Otherwise, it will be overwhelming, just as your eating disorder is. Identify one problem and work on that. Do not set yourself up for failure by trying to change everything at once. The plan can include other people. Especially if you are young or living with your family, involving them can help. If they have a clearly defined role in your recovery, they may not get as frustrated and you can all live together more peacefully. An eating disorder is hard on everyone. Step 7. "Fake it till you make it." Changing any behavior is difficult and takes time before you feel better. Sometimes you have to do something for a long time before you sense a change. Try to believe that you're going to feel better, that the anxiety you feel as you take better care of your body will eventually disappear. Gradually it will, but obsessing over it and avoiding change only makes it worse. Step 8. Take life "one day at a time," or even "one meal at a time" or "one hour at a time." If you have trouble meeting your goal, start again. Give yourself another chance. You have probably had your eating disorder for a long time, and the problems leading up to it have been with you even longer. So be patient. Remember: ''Rome wasn't built in a day"; "No pain, no gain." Come up with some other sayings that will help you be more patient with yourself. Very few people can climb straight up a mountain. Step 9. Build in some rewards for your efforts. Recovery is hard work. Be sure to take care of yourself by indulging in things that will make you feel better. Find ways to soothe yourself. Reading affirmations, doing relaxation exercises, participating in favorite activities that are easy on your body will all help your spirits. List these rewards and allow yourself one of them every day. Step 10. Talk about how you feel as you make changes in therapy, in support groups, or in your interactions with trusted friends and family. As you change your behavior, more feelings will surface. To understand how these feelings contributed to your eating disorder, you need to talk, talk, talk. Writing in a journal each day can help you to remember the issues you want to discuss with your therapist. Remember: You can't do this by yourself. Step 11. Keep on changing. Each week take a look at your contract and decide if it is helping you now. Many people with eating disorders have multiple behaviors to change, so take a look at your inventory and decide which problem to attack next. However, it is also sometimes helpful to stay in the same place awhile. If you have worked hard and don't think you can do anything more right now, simply try to maintain the change you have made before moving on again. Step 12. Believe in yourself and give yourself some credit. Acknowledge what you have accomplished, then, when you are ready, refer to your contract and repeat the steps you have accomplished to reinforce your program. Because eating disorders are so complicated and you had to keep your contract simple, it is now time to review your progress and identify another behavior from your inventory to work on. http://www.mirror-mirror.org/eatdis.htm http://www.aliveness.net/index.htm http://users.neca.com/cwildes/ ttp://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/5395/ http://www.healthyWeightNetwork.com/ http://www.hugs.com http://www.healthyeating.com/ http://www.iop.bpmf.ac.uk/home/depts/psychiat/edu/eat.htm

Sitting in the USO in Philedelphia, PA waiting for my flight at 01:57 a.m. is quite boring when my flight doesnt leave until 06:45 a.m. I cannot believe that the airlines dont open until 04:30 a.m., it's so rediculous, it's an international airport and they are closed. HAH what is this world coming to. 6 days leave will be great. I cant wait to see Josh and Emilee and the kids. And of course My Parents. I really feel like I need a full body massage right now. So damn sore from the training we've been doing the last few months. Its almost as if we never get enough sleep or rest to help our bodies recover from the strain. Iraq will definitely be a new experience and a hard one too. I never imagined myself here especially at my age. Everyone thinks I look 12 because of how short and tiny I am. lets thank grandma for that, at 4ft8 she seems to be shrinking a few inches a year. Theres that joke again on how shes gonna disappear soon. And she thinks shes fat, I had to laugh when the doctor said she had not an ounce of body fat on her and that why herdiabetes wasout of wack..My fellow soldiersare interesting and by far are going to be a goodfamily for the next year or so. Its kinda strange how such a mixture can bond so well. Whats funny is that I'm in the Philly airport but have never actually been to Philedelphia before. Seems to be happening to me more than I relaize. I get to say I was in this such city or that one because I flew to the airport and so on. My nephew tried to pronounce my name a few day ago, it was garbly but cute. I cant wait til he calls me on the phone on accident. My brother has his hands full, its amazing what kids can do to you. He's so happy and content. Now I guess It's my turn to find something that makes me feel happy and content. Doesnt even have to be happy...just content. I guess I'll continue to explore my options for my future. I still would like to try and go JAG but I dont care about the rank. and the reserves will try and make a specialist out of me yet. It wasnt the rank that I went into the military for, it was the fact that I could make a difference and help people. Well I guess I'll continue that stream of thought another day, I'm gonna try to catch some shuteye before havig to fly almost 5 hrs to Salt Lake. End 02:15 a.m.
