what a feeling!

This week although a little hectic with finals, has been an awakening. I am so excited about life, and i feel this thirst and hunger to go do everything, and although i don't know the exact direction of my life, i am so excited to just live everyday to its absolute fullest!! God is good :) I've missed talking to the big man upstairs. Thank you God for helping me find the "good" in goodbye.

A big THANK YOU!

So it is pretty much self explanatory but thank you everyone for your wonderful support!! :D

oh hamilton :)

A happy ending..

And so my summer series comes to an end with the last video being Marrakech day 2, finally! i know it took me about 3 months to find the time and inspiration to finish what i started so here it is! Tadaaa!

Watch, enjoy, and hopefully you'll be inspired to start and adventure of your own! :)

neglection.. :(

I've neglected my blog for far to long now... but that is all about to change :)

arrived finally! :) AFRICA! (well kinda)

so i can now say i have set foot on 3 out of the 7 continents :)..yes i am finally in Marrakech! Where is Marrakech you may ask? Its in Morocco, and where is Morocco? Its on the continent of Africa! I am absolutely taken back by the whole place its amazing, so much to see, smell, and hear :) I will be getting to work on that video soon, hopefully i am able to capture the whole hustle and bustle atmosphere of the city..because its pretty hard to film without getting dirty looks :(.. ahh oh and its also super hot here! when we arrived it was a mere 98 degrees, however as the day progressed it cranked up to about 103! Hopefully tomorrow will be a little more cool, because i plan to ride a camel!! Sorry i couldn't explain it all but for now goodnight! :D

Super Super Super Quickie! :D

Okay so i know i didn't update this yesterday but i have a good excuse! :D so Dalila and i were supposed to depart off the continent of Europe to Africa, however this is the first time something like this has ever happened to us, but we actually missed our flight!!! I KNOW!! WHAT WERE WE THINKING! Therefor what was supposed to be a carefree 3 hour flight turned into a nightmare! Since it is our fault for not boarding the plane on time we actually had to book a whole new flight and the next one out wasn't until Sunday.. ugh! not only did that burn a HUGE/MASSIVE/GINORMOUS/SO BIG THE SUN COULD FIT IN THERE hole in my pocket but it meant staying another 2 days in Barcelona and 2 days less in Marrakech.. So with so much tension between us, yesterday turned out to be a pretty stressful night.. we ended up having to book a last minute hostel, and its like living in the dorms times like a billion! there is so much going on left right everyone want to get to know everyone else! haha :) but i cant complain today i was able to just do MY own thing, see what i want to see and go where i wanted to go! Then in the end i met back up with my sister and David to enjoy a nice night :)

yay as promised! :)

here is the link to the new video!! :D

CLICK AND GOOOO!!!

Barcelona day 2 :)

So as I said I was going to try and post up a new update everyday :) so here I am.. so today was absolutely exhausting! Just as a quick little time line since i dont want to give all the contents of my video away but basically Dalila and I went to the very famous mosaic park..then we walked for what seemed to be hours, took a dip in the Mediterranean, and got some yummy food at a local fruit market. However i've been finding that lately i will start crying or get really sad at a drop of a hat, like today while we were walking looking for a metro station we went trough a brick paved narrow road and for some reason it reminded me of my grandpa, and just like that i started to cry..it was a little embarrassing too..ahhhh! Ugh and lastly, my memory card on my camera went psycho today :( so i dont know how well the videos will turn out.. :( ohhh and very very very last thing! Today is mine and Kayvons man-a-versary :) man do i love him!

Barcelona! :D

Arrived in Barcelona today and although I only had about 3 hours of sleep we still did tons! I got to see the Sagrada Familia, also known as the melting church..as you can see by the picture :) I know this doesn't say much about my day but i have made a commitment to write and update my Blog everyday if possible, no matter how tired I am..(like now!) lol :) so thats pretty much it.. oh wait one more little itty bitty thought.. so  I know its almost like a sin to eat fast food abroad (examples: McDonalds, Burger King, Subway...) especially with such delicious food surrounding me..but im on a budget so i had McDonalds and I completely forgot that they charge you about $0.80 cents extra for ketchup. I dont even like ketchup! So after I realized this I also had another thought come to mind.. my poor little ketchup monster Kevin would be in debt in Europe.

I will post up the rest of my blogs out as soon as I am feeling refreshed.. because I normally write them in a journal anyway, its just the typing that gets to me! :)

bye for now

Goodbye London! :) Bonjour Pari!

It seems like we just got to London but we are already heading out tomorrow morning! Today was kinda bad :( thanks to Dalila who had a cold when we just got here I am now sick too, luckily im not dyeing...well at least not yet..lol So on with today.. :)
Today besides being sick went okay, Dalila, David, and I, slept in till 10 today (I guess our lack of sleep and time change is finally geting to us) and we missed breakfast ughh.. then we hit the city once again, and we were lucky enough to arrive at Buckingham Palace just in time to catch the funny dressed guards all lined up and doing their daily changing of the colors..I think thats what it was called... :) nevertheless it was pretty cool..ohh and we were even able to catch a guard on his break and took a picture with him!! The typical london picture ;) Anyway this first video might take just a little longer...since I dont own th rights to the music i wanted to use.. well i could be sued! lol
Well thats it for now! Next stop Paris!

hello..jet lag?? jet swag!! :D
