Saying It As It Is

Dear friend,

Get over it.
Let go and move on.
It pains me to see you like this.
I know exactly how you feel.
I've been there before, and you, of all people should know about it.

Just be smart about this.
Let her go.
You're a great guy and you deserve better than this.
Never settle. You can do so much better.

I'm a b*tch for saying that.
But that's just me.
I say it as it is.

Love,
Nikki

The Perfect Song

Your face lights up the sky on the highway.
Someday, you'll share your world with me someday.
You mesmerize me with diamond eyes;
I try to fool myself to think I'll be alright.
But I am losing all control -
My mind, my heart, my body and my soul

Never in my life have I been more sure,
So come on up to me and close the door.
Nobody's made me feel this way before;
You're everything I wanted and more.

To speak or not to; where to begin.
Your great dilemmas I'm finding myself in.
For all I know you only see me as a friend.
I try to tell myself wake up fool;
this fairy tale's got to end.

Never in my life have I been more sure,
So come on up to me and close the door.
Nobody's made me feel this way before;
You're everything I wanted (more)."

You're everything I wanted

Tweener Memories, Quack! Quack! Quack!

I woke up this morning and found my brother watching D2:The Mighty Ducks 2. It was all too bizarrely familiar--- the musical score, the lines, the jerseys. I watched the movie a gazillion times that I know the story line by heart. I was, and probably still am, a Mighty Ducks fanatic.

Silly as it may sound, the series was such a big part of my tweener life. Joshua Jackson (a.k.a Charlie Conway # 96) was my ultimate crush. At the risk of sounding like a total geek, I'm still saying it---my friends and I used to act out our favorite scenes from the movie. We were 12 then, so we didn't know any better.

Julie Gaffney#6, the goalie, was my favorite girl character. That's how my love affair with the #6 started. I used to think I'll have 6 kids. Tsk. Tsk. Not anymore.

I also took Ice Skating lessons because of the movie.

When we went to the U.S. summer of '95, going to Anaheim was one of the highlights of the trip, for me at least. Needless to say, I had a bagful of Mighty Ducks items when we got home---anything from a hockey stick to book adaptations of the 2 movies to pins to stickers to shirts.

I just realized how little it took to make me happy back then. Simple joys. Really.

Ok, go ahead. You may now call me a geek.

GETTING STARTED

I've always wanted to do so many things--- wakeboarding, sewing, capoeira, hiphop classes (the list just goes on). Keeping a BLOG is just one item on my to-do list. I just never got around to maintaining one because I've been busy.

I'm still busy, but I cannot let that be an excuse. At least, not this time.

I feel a lot of changes will be coming my way in the next few years. Writing about my journey would be a nice way of celebrating every milestone.

I'm really happy where I am now. This BLOG is my own means of spreading the joy.

I'm your average, everyday, sane, psycho, super goddess.
