I love this song.....   Everything I Own Aiza Seguerra You sheltered me from harm Kept me warm, kept me warm You gave my life to me You set me free, you set me free The finest years I ever knew Were all the years I had with you I would give everything I own Give up my life, my heart, my home I would give everything I own Just to have you back again You taught me how to love What it's of, oh what a time You never said too much But still you showed the way And I knew from watching you Nobody else could ever know The part of me that can't let go I would give everything I own Give up my life, my heart, my home I would give everything I own Just to have you back again Is there someone you know You're loving them so But taking them all for granted You may lose them one day Someone takes them away And they don't hear the words you long to say I would give everything I own Give up my life, my heart, my home I would give everything I own Just to have you back again Just to touch you, once again...

I know sometimes i can be over analytical  about things.  I suppose I've been this way for so long always trying to identify want needs changing.  I try to follow my morals and values in life, because they are clearly the only thing that makes ME as a person.  I know a lot of things happen for a reason.  There's always that someone who molds us to be who we are.  And it's up to us how much we let them affect us.

HOW TO IMPRESS A MAN

Show up naked.

Bring food.

You may not believe in this but the advice is great!

Read all the way down, you might learn something!!!
 

ONE.

Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
                                                                   

TWO.
Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their

conversational skills will be as important as any other.
                                                                       

THREE.

Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.
                                            

FOUR.

When you say, "I love you", mean it.
                                                                   

FIVE.

When you say, "I'm sorry", look the person in the eye.
                                                                        

SIX.

Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
                                                                    

SEVEN.

Believe in love at first sight.
                                                                     

EIGHT.
Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who

don't have dreams don't have much.
                                                                            

NINE.
Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt

but it's the only way to live life completely.
                                                                        

TEN.

In disagreements, fight fairly. Please No name calling.
                                                                     

ELEVEN.

Don't judge people by their relatives.
                                                                          

TWELVE.

Talk slowly but think quickly.
                                                                      

THIRTEEN.
When someone asks you a question you don't want

to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?"
                                                                      

FOURTEEN.
Remember that great love and great

achievements involve great risk.
                                                            

FIFTEEN.

Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.
                                                             

SIXTEEN.

When you lose, don't lose the lesson.
                                               

SEVENTEEN.
Remember the three R's:
Respect for self;
Respect for others;

Responsibility for all your actions.
                                                                  

EIGHTEEN.

Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
 []                                               

NINETEEN.
When you realize you've made a mistake,

take immediate steps to correct it.
                                                                    

  TWENTY.
Smile when picking up the phone.

The caller will hear it in your voice.
                                                                        

TWENTY ONE.

Spend some time alone.

 

my little GRADUATE IZAIAH!

MOVING-ON CEREMONY

JUNE 29TH, 2005

If you wonder if you touch my soul, yes you do..

since I met you I'm not the same.  You bring life in everything I do.

Because of you My life has changed..

THANK YOU for the love and joy you bring...

Because of you I feel no shame.. I'll tell the world it's because of you...

Sometimes I get lonely and all I got to do is think of you,

you captured something inside of me..

You made all my dreams come true..

You mean so much to me..

I want the world to see it's because of you......

Partial Lyrics of Because of you by Keith Martin

 

Well,  have to go buy books for Summer School and as usual save lives at work!!  Gotta make that money.. Cause I plan to send the little one to Catholic School in September.

to be continued, I have more pictures to post..

EDITED: 7/18

my graduate & proud mom!

IZAIAH & IVAN (zai's bestfriend!)

Tomorrow we will be celebrating Izaiah's Pre-K Graduation.

I can't believe how fast time flies and how much Izaiah has grown.  He's the best thing that ever happened to me and I am so very proud be his mother.  He brings me so much joy and happiness.  He brought me a sense of direction and the will to do well.  He showed me lessons to be learned and I don't know what I'd do without him.

Before I had him, I had no direction, ambitions or motivation to be successful in anything.  All I worried about was hanging out enjoying myself, because I felt life is too short!.  But, I learned living a life is to know you gave your best cause you may never have the opportunity to re-live it again.  I admit I’ve made so many mistakes, but it's a part of maturing as an adult and I'm glad to have learned from those mistakes.  It's truly sad how some of us can never be given a chance to correct our mistakes and we live with a painful regret for the rest of our lives.  Hopefully the lesson I learned will remain with me as I grow into a more mature individual.

Anyways, I was watching Apollo the other night and just wanted to give a poet my oustanding ovation for reciting a poem about females in general (referring to his mother as an ex.).  He spoke of the challenges and obstacles we face, such as raising a child.  I will never forget his saying that, "this may be a man's world, but under a female's supervision.." I applause to that and definitely agree with him!!! LOL!

good-bye!!!

CONGRATULATIONS IZAIAH!!!  MOMMY IS SO PROUD!

Something happened on the day of my sister's graduation and stirred my way of thinking towards the men in my life.  Anyways, the incident wasn't unexpected, it just made me realized a few things about that certain man.  I won't even dare speak off just cause I don't want to start a controversy that will affect both genders in the family or in general.

"I really wish it was that easy to express my feelings on certain issues, I wish I can put them in to words... Maybe then, I can be understood." 

Happy Father's Day to all that does what it takes for their offspring.

It's sad how my son made something for Father's Day in school and have no one to give it to, because his dad is too occupied with his girlfriend who is about to have his 3rd child and Yes, 3 different mothers equals 3 different kids.  I have nothing more to say about that cause there's nothing anyone can do.  The man simply has no conscious and is considerably inconsiderate and ignorant.  So, I'll leave it at that!  It's already been said and done!  I feel bad for him especially the kids! 

. 

currently bored!!  I just got off the phone with the Municipal Court regarding the name change of my son's last name.  Daym.. I never realized how expensive it was to change his last name.  Anyways, here's a couple pictures of Zai..

 

 

Ha! the biggest smile ever. 

my lil man, like to pose for the camera!!

he so silly!

isn't he adorable??!

 

KIDS SAYS THE DARNEST THINGS!!!

He says," knock-knock".. I said, "who's there?

 

  He says,"ORANGE".  I say "ORANGE who??"

He says, "ORANGE you gonna kiss me??"

    haha! oh boy! this one is going to break a lot of heart!!!

 

My CEO is a Four-Year-Old

My CEO is a four-year-old, the V.P is just one.  From what my friends have told me, my "fun" has just begun.  When the work force day is ending, mine just seems to start with dinner, baths and bedtime, and lessons from the heart.  I may not fax and copy or play the "corporate game" but my hours are plenty long, the work tiring just the same.  "Hostile take-overs" in my job, involve a toy or two, and most "successful mergers" are done with Elmer's Glue.  My vacation time is little, and sick days are no more.  And all important meetings are on the bedroom floor.  While most can't wait to retire, I hope my job NEVER ENDS, because in his smiling face, I've found my only BEST FRIEND.

I now proudly distribute business cards to anyone who will accept one.  They simply say:

IZAIAH'S MOMMY
