Dreams, Loyalty and No Regrets

I'm really lagging behind on my posts for Bare Your Soul!! Fail!! This weekend was just so busy with the baby shower, but here is my one-paragraph (I really tried) answers.

Do you have recurring dreams? Explain.
I wish I could remember all my dreams, at least one dream. But sometimes I just can't. One time I even put a notebook by my bedside for me to jot down everything I could once I wake, but that didn't work. 

But one type of dream that I do remember is running away from someone that is chasing me. I consider this a nightmare, because I wake up from this type in the middle of the night scared out of my mind. Oh and there is different variations, sometimes the person who is chasing me has a gun, or a knife. Sometimes there is a bomb, and a group of us have to run away together. It's really scary. No one actually dies in these nightmares, but still they are pretty frightening.

One word that describes me and why
Loyal. 
That was harder than I thought. But I think Loyal is the best way to describe me. Roll with me and I will have your back until the day I die. I think I invest everything to my relationships, with relatives and friends, and become instantly attached to you. I will always care for you, no matter what happens.

To me loyalty means being able to tell that person the truth. It also being able to be there for the person through the good times and the bad. Being loyal is believing in the person, even when that person doesn't believe in themselves. Being able to protect your person from harm, at least trying to, whether it be physical or emotional harm. 

 I value my relationships so much, and the only think I ask in return is to be loyal to me. So if I feel like I have given you my trust, my loyalty to you, and you don't care about me the same way I do, then we have a problem. Sadly, I've lost some friends along the way because of this. 

If I could do it all again, would I?

If I could do it all over again.... hmmm. As I look back at my life, especially my high school years and my college years where things began to change, I would like to say that yes I would go back in time and do it differently. Choose different decisions, so that I wouldn't hurt myself or other people. But then I don't think I would be the same person I am today. And although I'm still far from the person I want to be, I like the person I have become. All the experiences that I have gone through in the last 10 + years have all shaped me to the person I am today. Yeah I've done some really stupid things, but I've all had some of the best moments of my life. I have no regrets. And yes I would do it all over again, the same. 

How has your childhood affected the way you raise your kids?
I don't have any kids. And although I one day wish to be a mom, children are no where in my life plan at the moment. My life is complete right now with my nieces and nephews, which I adore with all my heart.

But when it comes to my childhood, my parents raised us to be open-minded to different people, different experiences of the world. They also taught us the importance of education, by giving their lack of education as an example. They taught me to be humble and kind. And I hope that when I do have children, I could pass some of these lessons down to them.

Spontaneous Decisions become Awesome Adventures

motto for the summer!!

Yesterday Deb decided that she wanted to go to Santa Cruz. I guess it's not all that spontaneous because she wanted to go see her family. They were there because her sister just got in to UC Santa Cruz and it was her orientation and the family came up. Deb wanted to see them.

So with our handy dandy..... ZIP CAR membership we were able to rent the zip car and.......headed into the sunset or rather the mountains!!

I've been to Santa Cruz before once on a college trip from High School, it was raining that day, I thought it was pretty but didn't like the rain and the forest together. Then we came when we dropped off my brother at college. And then now, and I must say it is beautiful. 

We went to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk with Deb's mom and sisters. We parted ways for a bit and went to hang out with the brother. I hadn't seen him in a couple of weeks but it was good seeing him. We went to go eat some yummy burgers, he had a bear ( I forgot that he is already 21!!) and just talked. You know how brothers are growing up, and my brothers are not an exception, they used to tease me and stuff so although our relationship is not bad it is not perfect either. But it was fun seeing him and just talking about school and what we are going to do after school... Blargh.. and also his obsession with BATMAN (which I want to go see by the way).

After we ate, he had to go back home since he had do some readings and met back up with Deb and her family and got on all these rides!! There was a lot of people the lines were long. And although some of the rides looked pretty tamed from the ground once we were on them were pretty scary. hehe

MORAL of the story: I had a blast with the BFF!!! The road trip back home was fun, just talking about stuff, and making our own special dream guy taking different things and body parts from different hotties!!! I must say our dream guys are fucking HOT!!! ;)

Cheers to Spontaneity and more Summer Adventures!!!
