HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

Yesterday, September 9th was my birthday. For the occasion, my boyfriend took me on a VIP treat to attend the Fashion Rocks 2014, and made me spend this special night with Jennifer Lopez, Naomi Campbell, Usher, Pittbul, Jennifer Hudson, Kiss, Magic, Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber, Paris Hilton, Sean Paul, Enrique Iglesias, Nico & Vins, Tommy Hilfiger, Steve Madden etc. You name it. All of a sudden I felt 15 again... And 25 seemed miles away. This was an experience I will remember for the rest of my life.

On another note, I appreciate every single one of you who took the time to think of me on this day. Some messages made me laugh my butt off and reminded me of some good old memories.  Most of all, I thank all the people assisting me and standing by me everyday, no matter the time, climate, highs, lows and the in between.

HAPPINESS

Sometimes, I would think about how blessed I am to be where I am at this point of my life. Then, in a blink of an eye, I feel like my world has just broken into a million pieces and I don’t know how to start picking up the fragments. This usually happens when I cannot take control of a particular event occurring in my life. For instance, I have begun job hunting for about two months now, and I found myself being the saddest person on earth. Though, I have more than enough food to eat every single day, I have enough money to support myself, I live in one of the most luxurious apartment in Manhattan, I have a boyfriend that loves me and, a family who constantly support me. So, why the fuck am I feeling all types of bipolar?

DEFINING MY PRIORITIES

Last week, my boyfriend went to Texas for a wedding. After his trip, he mentioned how five days in  Houston made him realize how people could easily have a structured lifestyle, when all the white noise around them is removed. In Houston, most people have their daily routine and their priorities. In New York, it is so easy to be all over the place because the city has so much to offer. For instance, we (me & him) have no defined plans, no routine, we just live our life as it comes. We work, get money and spend it on doing everything that pleases us, usually for short term satisfaction. But, why not dedicate ourselves to things that add value to our life, and make us happy on the long term.  So, I came up with a list of things that I believe should be my priorities. In that sense, I will make better decisions, set better goals and overall, approach life in a more structured manner.
