When The Going Gets Tough

Well, I'm just gonna be honest here. I can be very lazy at times. All this is going to change though because While 2012 taught me how to be a strong, courageous woman, 2013 is now giving me the heads up that it's going to challenge me for all the right reasons, and how to challenge myself.

I'm going to be honest here...I've been lazy, I've been a bit of a bum, I've been having things easy, I've had the luxury of not having any duty or having many things to work on. But now, all this is coming to an end, for good reasons.

Starting next week, I'll be going to the athletic center with my mom to exercise on the treadmill, while she does her power pump. When I get into college this fall, I'll do my very best, using a good attitude, and make the best of my time there. It is what you make it! The last two days I was crying because I thought that I'm not gonna make it out of college...that I'll fail. In high school, for some reason I thought that I wasn't going to make it out, that I wouldn't graduate. The same anxiety about high school came back the last two nights, only about college this time.

WHY AM I ANXIOUS? College hasn't even started yet, and I'm making it worse than it actually is! Just like a kid would do with a shot. (The thought is worse.) I shouldn't be afraid, because I know that I'm going to do my very best that I possibly can and make sure I get some good out of it.

Plus, I prayed to God that he'd give me what I need to make it. If you pray to him, you're already taken care of. He has your back. He has MY back. He knows I want to succeed and graduate well with all my heart, and he knows that I fear that I wont. But I'm already taken care of, cause I'm in his hands. I have faith. When the going get's tough, I get going!

I just have to remind myself the inspiring things that I told you all before. I can give really good advice and inspiration, but I sometimes have a hard time following my own words.

No matter, the more I challenge myself the better I'll become.

Your Timing Vs. Right Timing

Well, I'd like to make the exciting announcement that it is official. Today, I went to URock, applied, and all I need to do is pay the 44 dollar fee! I will be going to URock for general education (24 credits needed) and I will get my associates degree, once I'm done with URock. After that, I will be transferring over to a different University such as Whitewater or Milwaukee, etc to get a bachelors degree for my my major that I've decided to take (theatre) and my minor will be (Spanish,) since they don't do that at URock. Even at the University I will be transferring to, I'll still be climbing up the later in Spanish.

It is different than what I was thinking it would be for URock. I am going to have to take some classes that I did not expect to be taking, which will cause me a time stretch here, but that's okay. I realized that if I'm always timing myself and giving myself these expectations to finish by a certain time that I'll only end up disappointing myself and causing myself to be under pressure (because I'm timing.) 

I have always said that the greatest things take a great amount of time to accomplish. Nothing comes easy either. So, I guess the inspiring message today is, that you don't have to achieve great things by the time you're 25. Someone told me that on tumblr, and it's SO TRUE! Now, I'd just like to add that 

• Don't rush yourself, don't rush time, don't rush to finish something
• Go at your pace. If it is meant to be, it will happen on it's own time AND the right time.
• Enjoy the things you do and make the best of the time you are spending and passing. 
• Make a goal to where you'll be doing something you truly enjoy. Talking to my academic councilor today, she said that she majored in "something-counselling" and  even though she feels like her salary could be better, she TRULY enjoys what she does and where she works. She said that working in place that you are happy to be in OR doing  something that you truly enjoy definitely beats working in a place/doing something you're not happy with & getting  a good pay.
• All your hard work and devotion will pay off once you are finished. Do YOUR very best. 

My timing has caused me nothing but disappointment and unfinished tasks/goals. So just forget expectations about timing success. It does absolutely nothing. 

Stay focused, Keep going, Don't fret guys!

This Is It

Oh my Godiva, it has been ages since I posted a blog!

 But here I am, blogging this very moment to tell you all that like to check up with me that I've made the decision to go to URock this summer. I'll be going for Spanish and Theatre. I might also look into "Latin-American Latina Women" studies. Not a lot of you know that I am crazily passionate about the Spanish culture, everything from A-Z.

Anyway...staying on topic, I know in the past that I said I was going to go to two different schools (Tribeca Flashpoint Academy and Film Connection Institute.) Sometimes you find many things, but they end up not being the right choice, and you go through all the wrong ones (or not so best ones) to find the right one. I am still  very interested movies. Who DOESN'T love the movies?

As I have told my other friends who are aspiring film makers that I like to be creatively realistic as possible. I'm not that much of a fan of Green Screen, blue screen, etc. With this being said, there is hardly any of that in plays or musical plays. The actors are right in front of you, the props is in your surrounding, and things like that. My inspiration for theatre comes from Disney's Lion King-Broadway and Cléopâtre-la dernière reine d'Égypte. 

I may seem indecisive to you, but it's OFFICIAL this time. I'm pretty much all set and stone, paper work has already been sent, and the timing is right around the corner. I'm so looking forward to summer of 2013! Greater things are ahead of me! :)

My Darker Side

For those of you who have read variety of my writings, several of you have seemed very concern because of the scenarios. I'd just like to say please be aware that when you read my stories you will be encountering dark scenarios that may seem rather twisted. My writing style is very different from my outlook life:  Positive, bright, content. You will not be experiencing such things in my novels, just to give you all a heads up. Also do  not take my novels personally. The characters are never going to resemble anyone in real life. If something very bad happens to the characters it's BECAUSE it is in line with the plot, it's all part of the plan. 

-There is no concerns needed.

-There is no harsh feelings towards anyone.

-Characters are never going to secretly say or show how I feel about a person in real life.

And The TRUTH Is

Hey everyone,
I hope you all had a blessed Christmas, and fun new years eve!

Okay, so here I am blogging with your answers. For the first time, surprisingly, none of you asked about my writing or creativity. Majority of you asked the same question: "What are your new year resolutions?"

The truth is I have about five new goals for 2013:
-Achieving the vital baby steps
-lose 4 pounds
-get into hair modeling
-get a job
-accepted into college by August

The baby steps:
It is okay for me or anyone else to realize this about themselves, that sometimes we put the wagon before the horse and that is what keeps us back. The number one resolution is to walk many "stepping stones"...the stepping stones that are vital to getting me closer to my ONE. MAIN. DESTINATION. THAT'S what is important here.

Weight Loss:
Though, I have never been looking any better, I'm still not quite where I wanna be with my body. I don't need to lose a whole lot. Four pounds WILL BE gone.

Hair Modeling:
This is definitely not a priority on my list. I look at it as a bonus....like those mini games you get to do on Mario video games that will give you a little extra something.

Job:
I REALLY need a job now for many reasons. There is so much I could say on this subject, but I wont. Other than the baby steps/stepping stones, this is at the top of my To Do list.

College:
My patients is shrinking, the anticipation is rising higher, it's the only thing that echos my mind, the more I watch Bonus Material on DVD's the more I think about the day I'm going to get interviewed by my mentor from this college I'm applying at...........bottom line is I WANNA GET  IN............BY August! It WILL happen. College IS my DESTINATION for this year.

I hope I answered clear enough for you all.
Good luck to you guys with YOUR resolutions!

Truth Revealed

Hey ya'll ,
Looks like I am blogging again before Christmas!
I was going through majority of my old blog posts, and it looked like I constantly changed my mind about things and went back and forth. Such confusion and uncertainty! So here is what I'm going to say about that....

If any of you have questions about ANYTHING (even stuff that's not related to any of my blog posts) or something that is unclear, etc. I will be happy to clear your pondering mind. You guys can shoot me whatever questions you have at my email (xpalmtree@ymail.com) and I'll post the answers/w the the questions on my next blog post. You all have till December 31st to send in your questions. I'll have my answers ready for you. I'll post them on January 1st, but the blog post will be published January 2nd..that's when you all can read them here.

NOTE:
When sending the email please have subject as "Question for BroEliMor"
When you leave your question please leave "anonymous" or your preferred name.
If you have MORE than one question, that's fine, I'll answer whatever you got!

That is all!

My Hair Will Inspire You

I think today's (or tonight's) blog is really going to inspire some of you!
There's been something I've been thinking about doing, but I never did it because I was all "what are the odds?" Well, I changed my thought process and I'm GOING to give it a shot! What it all is....is modeling/advertising for Herbal Essences. Why Herbal Essences? I chose H.E.,  because I can tell you that I've never been so satisfied with any other product IN MY LIFE. Number one, the way it SMELLS: I can't stop smelling my hair, no matter which scent of theirs I use. Even after swimming, walking outside for a while, etc. my hair STILL smells so delicious! Number two, the way it makes my hair feel....which is healthy, lushes, it doesn't dry anything out, nor make it oily. Number three, it's long lasting: the feel, smell, and look. There was a time where I couldn't shower for two in a half days, and around that time I went swimming twice. I was also in (not to be mean) an environment that reeked. When I came home, I brought home the smell. My hair, however, smelled like H.E.

Moving on....

My friend, Theresa, really gave me that nudge to go for this. She said that I should consider being a model. I've got the looks for it, she said, including my hair. That is one thing she brought up in particular. So after talking to her, I was more optimistic about doing so. Though, I'm not going for a "full body" model, I'll go for hair. I mean really, have to agree with her here. My hair is amazing! No, I'm not trying to brag. Everybody has things that they love about themselves. This happens to be one of the things I truly do love about me.

Alright now....
The inspiring part of this blog:

Why did I not pull through the first time? I didn't because I thought the odds of them saying yes to me were so slim.
Why did I pull through the second time then? I pulled through, because I came to realize that it is below my character and what I stand for if I acted upon that thought. I SERIOUSLY thought about doing this, for real, for legit reasons, LEGITIMATELY. You never know until you take chances guys. If I don't send them my letter, then I'll never know for sure. If I do send it, I know I at least tried. I didn't even write it yet! If I get "the nod" (acceptance) from them, I think this blog post will become a little more inspiring. Plus, I'll be sure to write an inspiring blog about that moment too.  The motive: Go for what you wanna do in life, BELIEVE in yourself (You especially gotta believe in yourself when it comes to something like this,) and try your best! You gotta have CONFIDENCE to achieve things that revolve around you. You have to have it, period.
I think you all get the big picture here.

If I don't post another blog before Christmas (or even the New Year,) I wish you all a very enjoyable, loving Holiday!

( BTW, MY HAIR IS ALL NAT.UR.AL. I don't crump, curl, 
or use any gel or mouse with it.)
