Happy August

I really can not believe it's August! I love August! There are going to be a lot of changes this month. I am excited for them and excited for the new, awaiting adventures!

I Randomness

I want to see, be near, and talk with Cowboy.
I am craving Filipino food- adobo and sinigang na baboy to be more specific oh and a halo halo :)
I am thinking of cutting my hair- again.
I am excited for Spring Break- no classes, but most exciting Mark will be here from WA!
I enjoyed listening to New Kids on the Block as I made deliveries for work today.
I am ready for Spring- it's close I feel and I see it! This week I saw six nests in one tree.
I think I should go and take a picture of that tree.
I am going to ride my bike.
I am looking into a fun, new opportunity. (More on that another time.)
I am grateful tomorrow is the Sabbath day.
I love time with my family.

Musing Over My Writing

Yesterday, I found a bunch of poems I wrote my senior year of high school. They're fun to read and also bring some awesome reflection.  I've enjoyed writing for as long as I can remember. Writing poems, short stories and essays has long since been a passion of mine. Lately, I have really been enjoying writing again. Writing brings insight and perspective. It allows for expressing feelings, hopes, and dreams. Writing is an outlet as well. An outlet to express feelings and reflect on them at the time written as well as later. I want to keep writing. I will keep writing. It's interesting I don't share my writings often, but I've found this blog to be a way to share some thoughts of mine. So, since I spent some time musing over my 12th grade poems, I thought I'd share one of them. It's interesting this poem is titled "I Am". I am is a creative self declaring statement. One of the things I've been thinking about and even writing about over the last year, not knowing I had started writing about it with a poem when I was 17. Over the years I have learned more and more that I existed long before I came to earth.  Here it is "I Am", written by 17 year-old Katie.    I like it! ;) 

I Am

I am a butterfly, free and curious of new found experiences and hopes.

I am a red jeep climbing the mountain of life reaching goals and overcoming obstacles.

I am Salsa, spicy and lively, yet mild and calm.

I am a fish exploring the waters of the unknown and full of freedom making decisions myself.

I am Spring bright and cheerful, seeking to learn and grow. 

Masaya ang aking puso :)
