Purse, the cure to what if's
I’m beginning to realize why women carry mini duffle bags as purses. It’s incredible the amount of stuff we need to carry around with us.
Make-up, perfume, lotion, contact solution, contact case, brush, sanitizer, “the present”, phone charger, ipod, good book, mini notebook, pens, wallet, tissues, gum/mints, phone…
The list can go on and on.
I need to get myself a...

My older older brother, was talking to me about a book titled The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. It sounded interesting so I looked it up at my bookstore and found it located under the Self Help section.
I started looking at the other titles and I kinda like that section. I’m considering buying a few books, I’m also considering getting some books from the Psychology section. I should open up...
I tried something new today. I won’t tell you what it is, but soon you will all see. I wasn’t too thrilled about it but my brother assured me I should go for it. I was just not used to something that different. Hopefully it turns out O.K.
Change isn’t one of my better friends.
Speaking of not changing, I’m directing the service of my church tomorrow. I always get a tiny...

I was in the bookstore folding some clothes and I thought about my future son/daughter and how they would have a mother that’s a graduate of NYU. It made me really happy. I felt like all this stress would one day be worthwhile.
I absolutely love children. Yesterday I held a beautiful baby boy and the way he buried his head into my chest and held on to me felt incredible.
I wonder how my...
This hit me today.
I don’t condone, or encourage cheating in anyway. Yet, I can see what would lead someone to it. Women complain that there aren’t enough good men in the world and I think it’s because we’ve screwed them over.(not the only reason of course) At one point in their lives they were in love and the woman cheated, left him for a “better” guy, or took advantage of him....
I have no best friends, only a handful of friends, and a few acquaintances. I have no problem with this. I hate clutter.

JAZZ Jazz jazz…Man this music is so smooth, so peaceful.
My dad didn’t empty out our pool this summer, so as of today I have a great ice skating rink. Who wants to lend me some ice skates? By the way Eminem has great lyrics for shoveling.

So I was helping my grandmother fill out an application and it asked me to put a Y or N next to the question Is the applicant hispanic? Then it tells me to check if she’s also any of the other listed races. Now, why must a Hispanic be Hispanic AND another race? Why can’t we just be Hispanic? At least they didn’t ask whether she was a Black Hispanic or a White Hispanic like...
Hansen (brother): Man you start school tomorrow?!
Me: Yea I had a good break though.
Hansen: damn, back to bitchy Rocio.
Me: Seriously? I’m not that bad.
Hansen: No more generous, caring Rocio, now you’re going to be on your period for the next 4 months.
Rocio: …

These are my favorite verses. The idea that there’s a time for everything is so soothing. It calms me when I think I’m too far behind. It also explains why certain things haven’t worked out for me…the timing probably wasn’t right.
They don't know how to motivate...
I think it’s crazy that my parents think getting a husband is a good motivation for anything. Both my parents and every Hispanic that knows I can’t cook, tells me I should learn or else I won’t ever find a husband. Yes I’m 19 and I can’t make a complete meal, I understand this is a problem. However, my motivation for learning to cook will be to feed myself. I...

So this little pamphlet contains what I call “little pick me ups” It’s bible verses accompanied by personal stories from Christians. There’s one for every single day of the year. I tend to always fall behind and end up reading the last five stories in one day. I’m going to start reading one a day like I’m supposed to. That way I have something encouraging to...
I don’t know what I want…thanks for letting me know.
Mixed Feelings
So my Cultural Foundations III class has me a bit confused. Usually this class requires ancient greek and roman literature. One of the reasons I absolutely love this class. I’m a HUGE fan actually. However, this year I got:
Jazz by Toni Morrison
Selected Prose by Heinrich Von Kleist
Complete Haiku by Basho
Black Rain by Ibuse
Leaves of Grass by Whitman
Now I consider myself a writer so...
I’m afraid I didn’t appreciate all my yesterdays.

When I was younger I made a list of what my ideal guy would be. I figured if anyone could match it then we would be the perfect couple. ( I ignored the fact that I might not be his match but that’s not the point.)
I made sure the list was simple. I didn’t want to ask for much, after all I’m not super amazing, but it still had to have some substance so the relationship could...
It’s up to the universe…this whole love thing.
Seeing things in a new light
I think I now fully understand that I shouldn’t change myself to satisfy other people. I don’t do it often but my contacts experience got me thinking. So I decided to get contacts because my crappy glasses were annoying me, I also thought I would look better in them. Apparently I’ve barely changed my appearance. I went to church on Sunday with them on and only two people noticed...
I have some serious flaws, recently I realized how corrupted I am. I need to change my mentality…soon. I just hope people don’t jump to conclusions and think I’m a horrible person.
“I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much...”
– Papa Roach
It’s true. You never really know how much you depend on something until it’s gone. Today I put on my contacts like a pro…sort of, then I grabbed my glasses to put them on. The only reason I put them back down is because I realized I was seeing clearly. I feel like I’m missing a big chunk of me.

Topanga: (Voice breaking) Cory, look. You’re my best friend and you always have been. And more. And I know how young and stupid this is but I’ve always believed that we’d be together for the rest of our lives.
Cory: (Quietly) Stop time now…
Topanga: What?
Cory: I wanna call a stop time now. I want to stop time. Because I know that if you keep on going then you’re gonna get to the bad part. But I know that if we stop time, then we’re gonna be together for the rest of our lives. (Topanga, holding back tears, turns and sits on her bed) Topanga, I called a stop time. (Sits and puts his arm around her) You can’t cry, nothing happens during stop time. We’re just together. (Topanga puts her head on his shoulder) Please don’t cry…

Great Day!
While I eat the fluffiest biscuits EVER and drink the most delicious ginger tea I’ll tell you how amazing my day has been.
So I got fitted for CONTACTS. The most painful exam ever, I have really sensitive eyes so I cried a lot. However it was spectacular being able to see without glasses. I felt so liberated. I’ll be wearing a trial pair for a week, then I get to order my own.
After...
No strings attached.
I really want to see this movie. The concept of friends with benefits doesn’t appeal to me…much. But I think the psychological aspect is pretty cool.
Don’t feel like explaining what I mean by that.
In other news I think Natalie Portman’s smile is adorable. The arch thing her lips do, that make her teeth show a little more… I have a thing for details lol.
It's not a frown.
I thought I should address this today since it’s the first time someone has told me they had a bad first impression of me.
Whether they were serious or not, I thought it was funny that people thought I was mean when I first started working at my current job. The reason being, I was so quiet and never talked to anyone.This is madness!
This conversation came up because we were talking about...
