One of the best meals I've had...
So it’s Restaurant Week here in Ann Arbor, and my friend and I decided to try it out. We wanted to live a little and splurge on dinner, so last night we ended up going to Vinology Wine Bar and Restaurant on Main St. The place is very fancy and modern with an awesome wine collection. The dinner special was three courses for $25 a person. We went during happy hour, so I also had a glass of...

taking notes and snapshots
One of my new goals is to start writing things down more and taking more pictures. A lot goes on in my head and life. Many thoughts and memories are fleeting and happen only once. So I’d like to try to capture them before their lost. I’ve had my camera for about a year now and my Piccadilly notebooks for a few months, but I’ve barely used either. I...

schedules
One of my pet peeves is the ability for a planned schedule to fall apart in the last minute. You try hard to plan way in advance, accommodate other people, and maintain your own life and desires. It really sucks to have it pushed aside, neglected, or completely messed up.
But you know what, it makes the times that do eventually follow through even more special.

good times
I went to the San Francisco Bay area the last weekend of May to attend and participate in my cousin’s wedding. Haven’t seen the family over there in two years, it was definitely awesome to catch up and spend quality time with them.
One thing I that resonated with me on this trip is simplicity. You’re really don’t need much to enjoy life. Good company = good...

winding down…
My time here in Ann Arbor is coming to a close. I will be going back to Maryland for a bit and then hopefully moving again to start something new in my life.
I have gone through a lot here, both good and bad, and I have learned and grown from them. People, places, experiences…I will miss them dearly. Time goes by so fast, and change is inevitable, but I do bring with me...

questions
I have this peculiar—and at times annoying—habit of answering questions either with other questions or with ambiguous answers. I don’t even think about it at times; it just comes out as an instant reflex, a deflection mechanism I’ve gradually developed.
Why? I’m still figuring it out. Indecisiveness? Yes, I have trouble making decisions and knowing what I...

“i always got your back”
Take it seriously. Share it back. Never abuse it. Cherish it always. Unconditional support is golden.
To people in my life: I always got yours.

Pero si cada día, cada hora, sientes que a mí estás destinada con dulzura implacable, si cada día sube una flor a tus labios a buscarme, ay amor mío, ay mía, en mí todo ese fuego se repite, en mí nada se apaga ni se olvida, mi amor se nutre de tu amor, amada, y mientras vivas estará en tus brazos sin salir de los míos.
— Pablo Neruda, excerpt from “Si Tu Me Olvidas”

patience, compassion, and forgiveness
It is through the roughness of life that we find the true meaning and value of what we had, of what we currently have, and of what we can have. The most worthwhile is that which perseveres through it all. It takes effort and virtue, but it makes the path ever so smoother.

home is more than a location
So I went back home to Maryland last week just for the Easter weekend, a total of three days…short but really sweet.
(I apologize for not being able to see everyone back home. I haven’t forgotten you. I miss you guys greatly, and we will definitely hang out sometime.)
I was able to catch up and hang out with family and two of my best friends. I...

the goodness within people
I believe that people are inherently good…with varying degrees and forms…but there is always some essence of goodness within people.
To put this entry into perspective, I’ll describe a scenario I encountered…
Three weeks ago, I was feeling pretty unhappy with several things in my life (but don’t worry, I am in a better position now.)...
