But it wasn’t all good at the beginning. I was scared!!! Why??? I wasn’t ready for life- THE REAL WORLD!!! It just hit me real hard. Out of high school, going to college, suppose to have a job, responsibility, just the whole growing up part. My life seemed like it was moving too fast, not enough time for me. Now that time has passed by… things are great. I called up Ms. Schulman again, let her know that I am interested going in child care, and can she help me make that call to Erin Miller one more time. And she did. I felt like I needed more than just school and homework to fill up my time. Or I felt it was my responsibility.

I’ve been working at Sunnyside for the pass 3 weeks. And I love it. The staff and kids are nice and fun. The staff and I got along really good from the first day. It’s Jocie (The Director), Allan, Chris, Sandra, Tiara, Jennifer (Gigi), and me. The kids are so cute!!! They’re from K- grade to the 5^th.

When I get there, the kids are just about to come in. All the kids have to be sited and ready to listen. It’s our little assembly. Then we split the kids up from grade to see who has homework or not. Those from K- grade to 2^nd have homework stays in, we help them, and the rest goes out to play on the playground. Then we switch from 3^rd grader to 5^th grader. Around 3:30 or 4, that’s snack time. We sometimes would have PB & J’s, graham crackers with an apple or cheese, pretzels with cheese, and other foods. The kids would drink milk or apple juice.

I love my job!! Being around the kids, playing, and doing activities like making aquariums with shoe boxes, macaroni mazes, create new games, etc… But I hate yelling for the kids to get there attention when they’re not listen and when they get hurt like falling, getting made fun of, or someone accidentally push or shove them.  

What I expect from this job is to give me more experience with kids than I have already. I want to be able to transfer in 2 years to a YMCA in LA so I’m closer to my boyfriend. And plus, I can’t wait to get out of San Francisco.

The Sound of Music- “Do Re Mi”

Let's start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
When you read you begin with A-B-C
When you sing you begin with do-re-mi

Do-re-mi, do-re-mi
The first three notes just happen to be
Do-re-mi, do-re-mi
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti

Let's see if I can make it easy

Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do

Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do
So-do!

Now children, do-re-mi-fa-so and so on
are only the tools we use to build a song.
Once you have these notes in your heads,
you can sing a million different tunes by mixing them up.
Like this.

So Do La Fa Mi Do Re
Can you do that?
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re
So Do La Ti Do Re Do
So Do La Ti Do Re Do
Now, put it all together.

So Do La Fa Mi Do Re, So Do La Ti Do Re Do
But it doesn't mean anything.
So we put in words. One word for every note. Like this.
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything

Together!

When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything

Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do

Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do
Do Ti La So Fa Mi Re
Do Mi Mi
Mi So So
Re Fa Fa
La Ti Ti

When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything

Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to


Do . . . So Do
Re . . . La Fa
Mi . . . Mi Do
Fa . . . Re
So . . . So Do
La . . . La Fa
Ti . . . La So Fa Mi Re
Ti Do - oh - oh Ti Do -- So Do  

Is it me or is it the real deal? There are crushes, puppy love, being sprung, falling in love, and being in love. And I know I’m definitely in love.

James Brown- I Feel Good

Whoa- oa- oa, I feel good, I knew that I would,

Now I feel good, I knew that I would, now
So good, so good, I got you
Whoa! I feel nice, like sugar and spice
I feel nice, like sugar and spice
So nice, so nice, I got you
When I hold you in my arms
I know that I can't do no wrong
and when I hold you in my arms
My love won't do you no harm
and I feel nice, like sugar and spice
I feel nice, like sugar and spice
So nice, so nice, I got you
When I hold you in my arms
I know that I can't do no wrong
and when I hold you in my arms
My love can't do me no harm
and I feel nice, like sugar and spice
I feel nice, like sugar and spice
So nice, so nice, well I got you
Whoa! I feel good, I knew that I would,

Now I feel good, I knew that I would
So good, so good, I got you
So good, so good, I got you
So good, so good, I got you

The story began a year ago, a "myspace" e- mail started it all. One message lead to another, lead to a phone call conversation, lead to friendship. Who knew we would end up being a couple and so in love. Miracle works in the most mysterious ways.

The friendship he, Barrington, and I had, was interesting. We didn’t think we would talk this long. Probably a few days, and that’s it, we go our separate ways, but phone call after phone call, a bond was create.

He and I have been talking for a year and been together for 2 months. We took it slow, took our time, and got to know one another. I know why I love him and what I love about him.

Guys and girls have their own characteristics. Self appearance, attitude, fashion sense, physical appearance, intelligence, personality, humor, self- confidence, etc… but my guy is a complete 180 degrees change from who I would usually be attractive to. Especially his attitude, personality, and intelligence. He cares about his own image and life, instead of worrying what others have to say or do.

His attitude is so cool. So calm. So smooth. He doesn’t try to act hard or try to be a "G". his attitude shows that he understands the meaning of life, understands that situations happens for a reason, and understand that everyone is different (regardless if anyone says, "They’re just alike", "They’re brothers", or "It runs in the family") he doesn’t take words or actions out of context to make a big deal or try to prove anything that’s not necessary.

He is Hilarious! So lovable. So friendly. His personality has a lot of dimensions that there is possible. From down- to- earth to being a comedian to being a smart- mouth to being a jerk. But that’s what make him him, like what your personalities make you you. He knows when to be caring and understanding when you’re down, sad, or just in a bad predicament. He can make you laugh when you’re mad or upset. He knows when to smart- mouth when he feels insulted (which I do all the time)

When it comes to being smart itself, he’s smart! All I really want in a guy is common sense (who doesn’t, right?) but Barrington has an abundance of knowledge. He can care less about new shoes coming out, new pair of jeans, or things that are too materialistic. He has so much perspective on world hunger, global warming, abortion, politics, pollution, etc… You name it, he has an opinion. He wants to help the world a better place, just like any activist.

Obliviously, he sees the world more than it’s worth. Besides buying a new car, spending $300 dollars on a pair of jeans, or getting grillz fit for his mouth. He rather have people ride bikes to stop polluting the air, buy cloths that is necessary and a reasonable price and let his shining teeth shine brighter than the sun. He is not a wasteful person at all, especially money!

He has so much more other good qualities in him, but those are the 3 that stand out to me. But most importantly, respect. He doesn’t care who you are, what you are, where you come from, where you’re going, he’s going to respect you because he wants respect back the same. Vice versa, respect him, he’ll respect you.

Yes, we do have little arguments, but we let it pass us. And he always try to prove his point like I try to prove mine (DUH!) I guess in every relationship, it healthy to butt heads once in a while. Thank God he and I don’t go at it like a rampage.

I just see my relationship as perfect. Whatever you think or say, it’s PERFECT! It’s nice to love and be loved. Everybody should feel me on that!

He’s definitely "The One"

Christina Aguilera- Loving Me 4 Me

People ask if I'm in love with you

Because I'm sitting here with your picture

And smiling to myself

I'm kinda lost in my own thoughts of you

My heart speaks before my mind thinks through

And I blush as I say yes

What a feeling of vulnerability coming over me

And I'm feeling weak and I can't speak

Never thought I'd give in so willingly to a human being

With abilities to set me free

Free, make me be me

Makes me want to say

Your lips, your love, your smile, your kiss

I must admit it's a part of me

You please me, complete me, believe me

Like a melody

Your soul, your flow, your youth, your truth is simply proof

We were meant to be

But the best quality that’s hookin' me

Is that you're loving me for me

Is that you're loving me for me

People ask why I'm in love with you

Well, let me start by saying

You got my heart by just being who you are

And what we got is between me and you

It doesn't matter about the money I make

Or what I do, or that I'm a, huh, a star

Unconditionally you're there for me

Undeniably you inspire me, spiritually, so sweet

This is meaningful, is incredible, pleasurable, unforgettable

The way I feel, so sweet

Makes me want to say

Your lips, your love, your smile, your kiss

I must admit it's a part of me

You please me, complete me, believe me

Like a melody

Your soul, your flow, your youth, your truth is simply proof

We were meant to be

But the best quality that’s hookin' me

Is that you're loving me for me

Is that you're loving me for me

Its so amazing how something so sweet

Has come and rearranged my life

I've been kissed by destiny

Oh, heaven came and saved me

An angel was placed at my feet

This isn't ordinary, he's loving me for me

Stripped of all make up, no need for fancy clothes

No cover ups, push ups

With him, I don’t have to put on a show

He loves every freckle, every curve, every inch of my skin

Fulfilling me entirely, taking all of me in

He's real, he’s honest, he's loving me for me
