Day 09 - Something you’re proud of in the past few days

Let me get back to you guys on this one….

(because truthfully, there’s really nothing i’m proud of these last few days - more shameful moments actually :( )

Day 08 - Short term goals for this month and why

1) Stop rushing to destinations. I always give myself the minimum amount of time to get somewhere, and it’s been breaking me lately. Monday and Tuesday, I ran for the bus successfully. However, yesterday I missed my bus by a stoplight, and I ended up having to drive to school and pay $15 (!!!) for parking. And today, leaving 40 minutes before class knowing i could “usually” make it in 30, I was encountered by random bumper to bumper traffic (at noon!!!!). I ended up 20 minutes late to class. Events such as there are testament that I must start changing my habits! 10 minutes early to everything is the goal!

2) Stick to my weekly plans. I like to plan things by the week. But unfortunately, once i mess up on one day, I have to backtrack everything for the rest of the day. One example is my workout schedule. Once I miss a day, my whole workout regimen is effed, and instead of going to the gym as much as i’d like to, I have to suffice with less days. Same goes with my daily plans for homework. I try to space out my workload, but since I do not follow it, I end up cramming in the end. This must change!

3) Step it up in school. I must step my ish up, to say the least!

4) Start running twice a week. I’m already running 4 miles once a week, but i’d like to start doing it more than once!

5) GO TO CANADA. It’s going to happen, I promise!

Day 07 - A picture of someone/something that has a big impact on you

image



I’m not gonna lie, i’m pretty much a momma’s boy. My mom truly has impacted me greatly. She may still treat me like i’m 10 years old, but I still love her for all that she does for me. Everything from my taste in clothing to my individual tendencies come from my momma. She da best.

Day 06 - Favourite super hero and why

Dude, i’m gonna be honest. I spent almost the whole day yesterday thinking about this one, and I really have nothing for you guys. Whenever I get one going, I will post about it.

But for now, I’m gonna say my favorite is the hulk

“Don’t make me angry, you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.”

Kind of a stupid reason, but he definitely has the most notable superhero line! ^__^

Day 04 - A habit that you wish you didn’t have

I have a bad habit on being on time. Every morning I run for my life just to catch the bus, and yes, I have missed the bus numerous times. Once I missed the bus, and it resulted me into missing a lab for a class, which was about 10% of my overall class grade. And it doesn’t even stop there. Earlier this year, I was LATE FOR AN INTERVIEW for a school I planned to attend. Although the school was about 200 miles away from home, there was no excuse, because I slept over a friends house the night before. These are just a part of my other late stories that i’m not really proud of.

I really hope that I can break this habit soon. I do have good moments when I take an early bus to school, or I just have the discipline to arrive at my destination early enough. Considering that I am in the professional phase of my bachelors degree now, I really need to step my ish up. My future won’t work if i’m not punctual. And plus, being on time will also help with my other bad habit of not giving myself enough time to get ready each morning.

Basically, i’m a mess

Day 02 - The meaning behind your Tumblr name

So I just realized my tumblr name is melamparo. It’s pretty basic and simple, compared to most of the tumblr names out there. After thinking about it, I guess it actually shows a lot about how I like to present myself as a person.

I like to be up front and direct - no gimmicks or pitches. A lot of people try to hide their real selves through other things, such as their friends, material possessions, or in the worst of scenarios, just act straight up fake. When it comes to myself, I like to be direct on who I am. If you hung out with me just once, you’ve probably seen me in my best, cause it’s who I am everyday.

Just look at my tumblr name, and you’ll know it’s me. That’s what I hope I present myself as on a consistent basis.

Day 01 - The most recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself




myself and my long lost buddy christian on the 45th bridge - Seattle, WA

1) I love pizza. the eveything pizza to be exact, esp with that buttery pizza hut crust. But all other kinds work too. I could eat pizza 24/7 if I had to!

2) I’m a health freak. Ever since I started to work out religiously, I started to become very conscious with what foods I ate. At one point I was on a 1500 calorie diet (never again), and I ate the most tasteless foods known to man. I’m a lot better now; I know when I can spoil myself :p

3) I like photography. I’m not as dedicated as most photography gurus out there, but I consider it a light hobby. I’m glad I can check out 1st rate equipment for free at school, so I never really have to buy a set. here’s my most recent photo, taken on the bridge of 45th.



4) I’m a big adam sandler fan. All his movies are legit, from waterboy, big daddy, mr deeds, bedtime stories, CLICK (especially), he never fails. Kinda like the Leonadro DeCaprio for comedies lol.

5) I was a choir geek in high school. I joined 5 choirs throughout high school, and I loved every bit of it. Still trying to find my niche here in the university - I tried out the mens chorus and the gospel choir. I’m hoping to get into the university’s elite acapella group though.

6) I (used to) play the guitar and sing. A lot of people who knew me before knows this side of me, and unfortunately, its sad to say I lost my touch. I tend to keep this to myself now a days, but I don’t mind bringing it back if I feel like it :)

7) I have some pretty legit anecdotes that I believe are quite entertaining to hear. Instead of posting them here, I’d rather share them to y’all personally when the situation comes. I swear they are great stories, some you probably would never expect coming (not in a bad way, of course lol)

8) I like to cook. I’m starting to get better at it, and I want to be as good as my momma. I’m pretty decent on the grill, I can make a mean BBQ chicken pizza, and I’m pretty good at making sweet potato fries. I need to increase my repertoire though.

9) I’m a very private person. I’m really selective with my close friends, and I like to keep it that way. I’ll take quality over quantity, thank you very much.

10) I have a red subaru forester. It really throws people off when they find out about my car. My dad gave me a price range, and I chose this car. People call it the lesbian car, soccer mom car, etc. I did buy the car off craigslist from a butch, short haired woman though. I love my matt-mobile though!

11) The number 1 thing that attracts me when it comes to women is their “steez”. It really gets to me when you can find a woman with an all-around presence. It’s really hard to explain, but you know it if it’s there.

12) I love classical music. My favorites are Chopin, Debussy, Bach, and Manuel de Falla. After taking a couple of music history classes, it really allowed me to appreciate classical music much more.

13) My favorite color is green. I don’t know why, and unfortunately, about 1/3 of my wardrobe has some sort of green shade in it

14) I was born in Houston, Texas. I lived there for 11 years of my life, and it’s a place that I can never replace in my heart. Well, I did lose the y’all in my daily vernacular though :p

15) I sweat a lot. A little too much actually :(

Drake - Still Got It (2010)

Jul 12, 2010
“4 One thing I have desired of the LORD,
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the LORD
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the LORD,
And to inquire in His temple.
5 For in the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall set me high upon a rock.

6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me;
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.

7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice!
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When You said, “Seek My face,”
My heart said to You, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.”
—Psalm 27:4-8 NKJV
