Da Vision Board...

Okay, so one of my best girlfriends Val got me to make this thing called a vision board with her. I've never heard of this before but just like me jumping in on anything said "okay...". So we got together (after spending plenny money at OfficeDepot for supplies) and began to build this thing. In case you don't know what a vision board is, it's pretty much a board of any kind (cork, magnetic..etc) that you stick your goals on. Goals for life, work, love, home...whatever you want. Oh and I also found out you gotta put a picture of yourself in the middle.

Anyway...so I am aiming my vision board for the near future (5 years). I currently have 5 items on it.

1. The Car - I used to really want a Lexus, but ever since Twilight...darn you..you know who you are...I really want Carlisle's car...a Mercedes. I've been doing some research and it's not too bad. Some models are even cheaper than the Lexus I wanted. So yay!

2. The Trip - I really want to go on an Alaska Cruise!!!

3. The Home - A condo to start with and eventually a house. But just really a place that I can make warm and inviting and call home. :)

4. The Body - I really want a nice body. I've been sorta letting myself go...I won't say how bad...let's just say McDonalds, 2 extra value meals...and 3 episodes of Charmed...not a pretty picture!!! But I am now on a good diet and doing P90X. It's kicking my okole, but I'm starting to see the difference. So YAY!

5. The Boyfriend - Now this one is totally funny!! To make a short story long...so I know I would probably prefer an asian guy. So I was looking for pictures on Google for "Asian, Male, Short"...and this picture comes up on the top row:


Okay...here is the story...I TOTALLY know this guy! If you recognize him, it's probably from a movie called "Saving Face" where he played "Little Yu". I know him because he is one of my girlfriends ex-boyfriends!!! I met him when she came to visit me and attend a wedding in Hawaii. He is the NICEST guy!!! He even autographed my copy of "Saving Face"...so da nice yeah! Plus he's pretty hot no? Anyways...getting to the point...I said that this is the picture I must use for my "Boyfriend" vision. There is another picture under this heading, but let's not talk about that.

There...that's my vision board. But then, Val asked me...what about your job? (oh...I gotta be careful with this one since co-workers read this...ummmm...) anyway...my response is that my job is only a means to obtain what I really want in life...car, home, travel...I don't have any job that would be a "goal" for me. So yeah.

I've actually been pretty blessed when it comes to work. Jobs always sorta fell my way. I did work quite hard to land my first job at HVCB, but after that I was very lucky. Even to this day. *edit* I doubt I'll retire from the company I currently work for, but I think (and hope) that I'll have a job here for a while. :)

Anyways...so that's my long-short story about my vision board. So far, I think it's really been working and I see my goals every morning when I wake up. I wanted to write this entry so that I have a record of this and I can look back on it 5 years from now. Plus, I'm hoping placing my visions in multiple places will help build encouragement and really get me through it all. :)

Sooo...what's on YOUR vision board?

His Favorite Christmas Song - My Favorite Christmas Song

Just heard this song and instantly fell in love with it.

*note...I don't really care for the dancing anime in this video, but it was the best quality on youtube.

Add this to the list of songs that make up my life...

It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done - Charles Dickens

I'm a Fool!

So I bought a MD player from Amazon.com and received it in the mail today. (Amazon is the BOMB BTW) The reason why I bought a MD player among all my MP3 players???? To play one MD disk I received years ago for my 20th birthday. Yes, you read that correctly...ONE, (1), Uno, Ichi, Singulo....etc. disk! When I bought it, I thought to myself that I am a friggen fool! WTH am I doing!?!? But now that I am listening to the ONE disk...it was totally worth it. :) A whole bunch of memories came back...here is the song list:

1) I'll Be There For You - The Rembrandts
2) The Way You Make Me Feel - Michael Jackson
3) Smelly Cat - Friends
4) Sometimes - Britney Spears
5) Joey's Prank Call - Friends
6) His Cheeseburger - Mr. Lunt (Veggie Tales)
7) House At Pooh Corner - Ka'au Crater Boys *remember this group!?!? They are awesome!
8) Somewhere Over The Rainbow - IZ
9) The Rainbow Connection - The Brothers Cazimero
10) Happy Hanukkah - Friends
11) More Than Words - Extreme
12) Love Takes Time - Mariah Carey
13) I Thought She Knew - 'N SYNC
14) Grandma - Friends
15) The Hairbrush Song - Larry (Veggie Tales)
16) Friends - Na Leo Pilimehana *I have an autographed CD from Na Leo...the memories
17) Crazy Without You - Pure Heart *They were much better as a group.
18) Jingle Bitch - Friends
19) Aoi Usegi - Shiriko Sekai (not sure cuz it was in katakana...)
20) Contigo En La Distancia - Christina Aguilera
21) Dance Of The Cucumber - Larry (Veggie Tales)
22) New York Blackout - Friends
23) Amazing Grace - Destiny's Child
24) Copacabana - Friends
25) Waikiki - Na Leo Pilimehana
26) The Sound - Friends
27) Flying With Angels - Na Leo Pilimehana

That's a lot of songs yeah!?!? MD's were the bomb at the time! I know the song list probably sounds weird to you...but for me and the person who gave it to me...it was pretty special. Heck, I did just buy a whole new player just for this one disk!!

It's good to know that some things....never change. :)

Only A Select Few Can Truly Appreciate This...

MKKM Anthem

7 Things - Miley Cyrus

I probably shouldn't say this
But at times I get so scared
When I think about the previous
Relationship we shared

It was awesome but we lost it
It's not possible for me not to care
And now we're standing in the rain
But nothing's ever gonna change
Until you hear, my dear

The 7 things I hate about you!
The 7 things I hate about you, oh you
You're vain, your games, you're insecure
You love me, you like her
You make me laugh, you make me cry
I don't know which side to buy

Your friends, they're jerks
When you act like them, just know it hurts
I wanna be with the one I know
And the 7th thing I hate the most that you do
You make me love you

It's awkward and silent
As I wait for you to say
What I need to hear now
Your sincere apology

When you mean it, I'll believe it
If you text it, I'll delete it
Let's be clear
Oh, I'm not coming back
You're taking 7 steps here

The 7 things I hate about you!
You're vain, your games, you're insecure
You love me, you like her
You make me laugh, you make me cry
I don't know which side to buy

Your friends, they're jerks
When you act like them, just know it hurts
I wanna be with the one I know
And the 7th thing I hate the most that you do
You make me love you

And compared to all the great things
That would take too long to write
I probably should mention the 7 that I like

The 7 things I like about you!
Your hair, your eyes, your old Levi's
When we kiss I'm hypnotized
You make me laugh, you make me cry
But I guess that's both I'll have to buy

Your hands in mine
When we're intertwined, everything's alright
I wanna be with the one I know
And the 7th thing I like most that you do
You make me love you, you do
