1st World Problems

  Although it's awful to think of how true that hashtag is, it's also hilariously sad, and literally my life these past few months.... (-.\)
  I had originally planned (as always) to keep up with my blogging once summer was over. I even had specific topics ready for me to post about; however, it just so happened that my life become chock-full of "1st World Problems."
  A lot of the problems, even though they seem ridiculously childish on the surface, turned out to just create stress all over my life. The first problem that arose: Financial Aid. Yes, my mother completed everything only 2weeks before school starting, BUT I should have it by now! So why don't I?? Because the government, and whoever runs the Federal Financial Aid Department, decided that they just had to select me out of the thousands of students at my school to go through an extra "verification process!" Apparently, it's a process that 1/3 students are selected for, and I just happened to be the lucky winner! So, basically, I get to wait double the amount of time to recieve absolutely any financial aid from my school. But, don't worry, American Government, I totally don't mind having Zero Dollars to my name every single day, living paycheck to paycheck, asking family members to borrow thousands of dollars to pay off school, begging my apartment complex for extensions, or even having to donate plasma twice a-week just so I can buy toilet paper and cat food. Nope. Absolutely no problem... I'm just fortunate enough to work at Subway- at least I know what I'll be having for breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday! #1stWorldProblems
  The next biggest issue that came to be since school started was my apartment having NO INTERNET. You never realize how much you love something till it's gone, and that is definitely what happened after I moved into my apartment! Inorder to get internet, we had to purchase an ethernet cable and connect directly to the wall (which is really dumb given technology these days, honestly!) and, obviously, I didn't have the money to do so! After my 1st paycheck- I got one! Too bad my poor Macbook, being as old as it is, absolutely refused to connect! I was so depressed! The only times I could use the internet was when I was either at work or on-campus and once I was on, I was glued to my phone. It's sad, but I'm actually not super surprised with how badly addicted I am to the internet. Actually, it's more that I'm addicted to Social Media and NETFLIX, to be honest. And so, this problem was not remedied until I had been moved in for a month and a half when I found a Wi-Fi Reciever for cheap! Apparently, my computer only likes to connect to Wi-Fi Internet, so now I can be connected to the world!! Ok, it sounds ridiculous, but it wasn't just that I couldn't Tweet for a little over a month, because I had no internet, I also couldn't do my homework or check my emails! In today's society, where schools and teachers are all about technology and online communications, a student must be able to have internet access at all times! It's sad, but true! During this time when I had no connection to the internet world, I would stay after at work till 3-4AM just doing internet, and STILL have to get up for classes in the morning... It really sucked... #1stWorldProblems
  Now add all that up along with work almost everyday &&& 19credit hours at school- you can see why I've been a bit out of touch and extremely stressed out! Since returning to Denton, life has been extremely difficult, which really sucks since it's my Senior Year... But thankfully, things are slowly starting to get better. Since these are all 1st World Problems, I know that I can get through this, and that's what keeps me going. As long as I keep smiling and doing my best, all the pieces will fall into place... eventually! (^-^) #JustKeepSwimming

Find What You Love...

  A couple weekends ago was San Japan. I had a great time hanging with my friends and getting to see a bunch of new guests, but I also had a lot of time to think. Firstly, one of the guests was Team FourStar, the creators of Dragonball Z Abridged, and so many other parodies. I'm not gonna lie: before they joined the guest list for San Japan, I had no idea who they were. I knew that DBZ Abridged existed, I just never actually watched their stuff (no offense); however, they made for great brains for me to pick. A number of the Team FourStar group began their Voice Acting careers online auditioning in forums and putting their voices to a number of fandubs. And look at them now!

  Another guest, and personal favorite to make conversations with, was Chris Ayres. I always enjoy his panels and listening to him talk, and I always take away some fantastic new advice, this year especially. He told the panel something that I have been contemplating ever since: "Find what you love and figure out how to make money with it." Haha, I just knew that it was perfect. 

  So, what are just some things that I love? Acting, Anime, Reading, Drawing, Television, Singing, Disney, Photography, Japanese Culture, Travel, and so much more! The next task for me was to find a way to put it all together. Obviously, if I wanted to make money with acting, I would have to (uh-doi) start auditioning! I have to work on myself and try stepping out of the box, become better at auditioning and stop being so judgmental about myself and my abilities! Of course, Acting would definitely work well with the world of Television and Anime; after all, I became a Theatre Major so that I could Voice Act, right?? Basically, everything that I love can work together, and if I was able to spend the rest of my life doing all of those things, I could die the happiest person on Earth. 

  Everything really came into perspective just the other day when I was editing an "About Me" section on my FUNimation Profile. I was trying to figure out just how could I sum up, me?? After a lot of thinking, here's what I came up with:

Senior in College, Majoring in Theatre with a Minor in Japanese.
Current Shows: Detective Conan, Attack on Titan, Fairytail
Dreams for the Future: Graduate, Disney College, VA in a CLAMP series and a Ghibli Production, work with Emma Watson, publish my FanFiction, Poke'mon: Princess Debut, & travel the world!

And after I read that over a couple times I realized how perfect it was! Yes, this exactly sums up who I am and who I would like to become. The only thing I would like to add (because I totally just thought of it) would be: "Produce a Disney Cover Album." There, now it's perfect.
  I've realized that my brain has tried jumping all over the place trying to figure out just what I want to do with my life, but honestly, this is it. Now that I'll be moving into an apartment, I'll be able to have my own space (finally). I want to start auditioning online again, getting my voice out there. I want to try to audition for as many things as I can around the DFW area. I want to take as many workshops and/or acting classes that are available to me. I want to become a stronger performer, and once that happens, everything will fall into place. I know it's going to be immensely difficult, especially with school and work, but I'll manage. Just like my mom tells me, "You always seem to say you'll do something, and no matter what, you find a way to make it happen." Well, now I've said it, so that means I have to go out there and make my dreams come true.

Find Your Why...

  I really should never say that I'm actually going to keep up with this blog, because I honestly never do... When I was younger, I had so many diaries, too, but I never actually used them- I would always just forget. But I suppose a blog is just like anything you do in your life: if you want to stay consistent, you have know your "why."
  Why do I want to blog? What even is the point?? Now, I know I've actually posted something about this before, and I'm not too sure whether my mind has changed much. One major reason definitely has to do with the fact that I'm a packrat- I love reminiscing about happy memories, finding nostalgic treasures in the back of my closet, and pictures and blog posts (at least to me) are basically the same thing. Sure, some of these posts are dumb slice-of-life bits and others are just my own personal ramblings, but so what??
  Another reason, I suppose, would have to be my inner performer calling out for attention. Yes, I'm a Theatre Major- I want to become a big-time Voice Actor and, yes, I will admit, I would absolutely LOVE, love, loooove to be in a film! Ok, I've said it!! I'm much more shy than most people think, and sure I talk a lot, but I really do get nervous easily. These past few years, I have absolutely loved watching my fellow Theatre Majors stepping on-stage and into the spotlight, they always look so beautiful, radiant, and confident! I feel so happy for them because I wish I were them. I hear it all the time from my friends that they think that I, Lisette Monique Diaz, is so outspoken and confident, and so easy to talk to people, but really I'm not at all like that. But I want to be like that.
  I've realized several time over these past few years that I want to be more confident with myself and my abilities, I want to be able to stand on stage, or in front of a mic without wanting to shy away from the crowd. I've gotten better, I know that, but I want to be more.
  Maybe it's because I'm about to start my Senior Year in College and I'm getting immensely nervous about where I'm headed, or maybe it's just another summer revelation, who knows..? But what I do know is that I really have to dig deep and start working. I'm always telling people that if they want something bad enough, they have to put in the work for it- and I fully believe in that, but maybe it's time that I actually started to show it, too. I have so many dreams that I want to make real, so maybe it's about time I started making them happen.
 

Blessed be the Summer...

School is out and I have been on Summer Break for 2 weeks now.

  I am immensely hoping that I will have a lot more free time this summer than I normally do, if that is the case, I will definitely have plenty of time to blog more than just once every couple months! (-u-)

  School ended with a dull and definite flop. Near the end of the semester, I just couldn't wait till my finals were over. With the combination of school, work, Herbalife, and dealing with my roommate, I just needed a break! In order to relax during these past few weeks, I had spent most of my time sleeping and/or watching episode after episode of Poke'mon! I am honestly proud to say that as of last week I have officially watched every single English episode of the Poke'mon Anime!!! Don't I feel cool...?? 

  It's already nearing the end of May, so I'm worried that this summer will pass much too quickly! My plans for the summer (besides working on myself and catching up on shows) is almost the same as always. On June 1st, I will be flying out to California for a month. At the end of June and beginning of July, my family from Dallas, as well as my sister (Suzette) and Coraline will be joining me in California for a short time! I'm really excited to have everyone there all at once! It'll most likely be crazy and hectic- but that just means there'll be a ton of fun ahead! After California, I'll be returning home to San Antonio for San Japan and to spend more time with my mom and other family. Luckily, I won't be having to head back up to Denton till August! And what's more exciting?? Come August I'll be moving into my own apartment! I am so ready for my own space- I can't wait!

  And so, now I'll just go ahead and cross my fingers that I can enjoy every bit of this summer! Hope everyone out there is enjoying their break so far, as well! (^-^) 

Obsessions...

  Although I said that this semester was starting to look like my easiest yet, it seems to have become one of my most busiest!! I think it mainly stems from the fact that, not only am I going to school for 15hours plus a lab, but I am also working on developing my Herbalife self- as a person & business! &&& what am I doing during any down-time??? Not my homework. And definitely not sleeping, that's for sure! For the past few weeks, I have spent countless hours watching Youtube videos, several series, &&& watching a lot- a LOT- of Poke'mon.
  More recently, I've subscribed to a ton of new Youtube channels, but hardly any of them am I actually up-to-date on their webisodes. So, I decided to start fixing that & began watching nothing but Youtube channels! The first channels that I always make sure I'm up-to-date on are Monster High, Eyeshine and Ariana Grande's personal channel. I am also caught up on several channels dedicated to JPop & KPop dance covers, sadly however, it's been months since they've posted any new videos. Also, Ozzy's videos- mainly because he's hilarious & fun, but also I'm proud that he's happy! I may not have known him very well while he attended school here at UNT, but when I did talk with Ozzy, he seemed awesome & sweet, and had great potential as a performer- who knew he would eventually become a Youtube Sensation??

Me as a Teen Vogue Intern

  The channel that I just finally caught up with is Jenna Marbles, and yes, I'm kind of obsessed with her videos. She's just so funny!! And I love how she just doesn't give a fuck what people say about her, in fact, she embraces it, and that's awesome!
  Along with Jenna Marbles videos, I've become a bit obsessed with Teen Vogue. I'm subscribed to their channel, I follow them on Twitter & Instagram, &&& I play the Teen Vogue: Me Girl app every day. It's pretty sad.
  What else is sad is how many more channels I have become subscribed to since starting my Youtube Catch-Up Spree!! While watching videos, I'll see another video in the sidebar that looks or sounds intriguing, click on it, & 5seconds later I'm subscribed to them! I've found a ton of bloggers, fashion channels, make-up tutorials, dancers & singers, and so many more channels that I have added to the ever-growing list of subscriptions.... I think I need help... (-__-)

  As for television shows, I firstly completed Season 2 of The Legend of Korra!! And, holy geeze, it was so freaking fantastic!!! I can't wait till Season 3 comes out, because things can only get better & crazier from here on out!! I have finally completely caught up with The Walking Dead & am now watching Live, as well as The Talking Dead, on AMC every Sunday! I've fallen off of the Pretty Little Liars & Glee bandwagon these past few weeks, so I'll have to get to work on that!

   A show that I have NOT neglected is Poke'mon. During Winter Break, I decided to try and catch myself up to the current season in Kalos, but I had to have watched every single episode! And not only the episodes, I followed the Poke'mon timeline closely and made sure to insert the Poke'mon movies whenever they came up. As of last night, I am through Season 12, Poke'mon: Galactic Battles. Now that's a lot of Poke'mon!!
  Spring Break is just starting up, so I'm really hoping I'll get some time to relax, but since I'm home with family, I doubt it. SO- Till Next Time- Stay Tuned!

The Game is Called 21...

  I figured, "Maybe it'd be best to keep things in a chronological order?" So, let's start things off with my BIRTHDAY!!!

Rainbow Birthday Roses

  On December 30th, I turned 21! Yep, that's right world, I am officially LEGAL. But it doesn't matter much, since I don't even like to drink, but that didn't stop my friends and family from showering me with drinks.

  Anyone who knows me know I don't like large parties, so for my birthday when I was asked what I wanted to do I responded with: "Stay home." Ha. They didn't let that one slide. So, on my birthday, I got dressed up as an Ariel Fangirl (because I'm really 12, not 21) and my sister, Suzette took me around the mall. I loved it! Since Suzette and her fiancé, Billy, both work at the mall I got the princess treatment all day! My Free drink from Starbucks, my Free gift from Sephora, a Free Tea, a Free Spider-Man iPhone case (which was actually given early), and a Free pair of Bluetooth headphones! Besides all the STUFF, everyone was super awesome and wishing me happy birthday all day! Then my sisters and mom treated me to lunch at the Cheesecake Factory- one of my favorites. It was there that Billy bought me my 1ST LEGAL DRINK: a Hard Strawberry Lemonade. It was actually pleasantly delicious. When the crew brought out my birthday cheesecake, they alas gave me a shot, some Rum & Vodka concoction. That one wasn't that good.

Sitting at the Bar like a Big Girl

1st Legal Drink

Happy Birthday, Me!

  After the mall, we returned home where I got to just hang out. The whole family stopped by and we got to play some games, then my friends picked me up and I got to have my 1st Hookah Experience! I kind of have mixed feelings about Hookah. It smelled decent, didn't taste too good, and although it was really relaxing, after a while, you get a head-ache. Besides that, I got Bubble Tea and quality-time with some of my best friends- so I loved it. 

Hookah with my Lovely Peoples!

21st Birthday Princess Selfie

  The next day, New Years Eve, was spent traveling around with my mom. I visited patients with her, then we got all of the party supplies and food supplies for the night's New Year/ Birthday Party. This was the 1st year that I can remember where it was JUST the family at our house. Usually "family friends" or "distant relatives" somehow find their way into our party, but this year it was just us. Throughout the night I kept getting handed drinks, too. At one point I was having to juggle three at-a-time; Billy, Uncle, and my mom just kept mixing them up for me. Billy's goal, apparently, was to get me drunk; however, little did he know, that I kept hiding my drinks so he wouldn't notice that I wasn't drinking them. So, all-in-all, that night I had a ton of Vodka, Rum, Soda, combinations of all sorts, as well as a very yummylicious Pina Colada! The Pina Colada was my favorite: at the end of the night, I had stolen the blender she used to make it & was drinking it with a straw. (I had to make room in the fridge, honest!) 

New Years Drinks

  We ended the night with an intense game of Phase 10 and everyone was shocked that after all those drinks, I was still full functional. Guess I'm a much stronger drinker than I look! Well, I say that... The next morning, my brain woke me up around 5AM. I walked to the bathroom, totally normal, then all of a sudden I started throwing up basically everything. Haha- it wasn't bad, or anything. I was actually surprised because I wasn't hurting or anything (that night or the next morning) and after a couple minutes in the bathroom, I was totally fine and just went back to sleep like nothing had happened! 

  So, there's my apparent "1st Drunken Experience"??? Well, I hope someday I get a more exciting one... Besides that, my friends and family kept treating me as the week went on. On the 1st, I got to go out with another couple of friends who treated me drinks after we went to see Anchorman 2. Together we sat at a pub and had a couple of Star Fuckers and Lifesavers- those ones were actually quite delicious.

At the Pub

  The next week I spent in California with my dad, which was a nice little break from everything while at the same time horrible! It was horrible because every time we went out to eat, Dad refused to let me get a normal drink- I HAD to get some kind of alcoholic beverage! Now, for most people, this would be their dream- but I hate alcohol and all I wanted was a fucking lemonade and no one was letting me have it!! It was so bad...
  And there you have it! For my birthday I had a ton of relaxing fun and a whole lot of first time experiences, especially in the alcoholic beverage tasting area... I may not be big into drinking, like at all, but it's pretty cool that I'm 21 now. Now, if I wanted to buy alcohol just because I wanted to, I COULD, and possessing that power is an awesome feeling!

School, school, school...

Fret not, Blogger, I haven't forgotten about you! 

  Friday is Valentine's Day, meaning it's been nearly 2weeks since my last post- oh no! Haha, I've become immensely busy with a combination of school, building my Herbalife business, working on my Level 10 Results, Personal Development, and just more and more school. It's just been crazy! 

  First off, like I said: this Friday is Valentine's Day!! I love this holiday because I always get sweets from my friends & family, so I'm actually pretty excited! No, I don't have a Valentine, and I honestly have never cared, or even, worried about being with a significant other on this holiday! I always think it's funny when girls get depressed over being single around this time- like, who really cares?? I don't know about everyone else, but it's just another Friday to me, which means I have school & Fit Camp- The End. 

 And speaking of Valentine's Day... at the end of the last post I mentioned about my having my 1st ever date? Ya, well, although I actually plan on posting more about that- update- nothing happened. Lisette is still single, and THANK GOD. I don't know if I'm just "not ready" to be in a relationship, or whatever, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I just DON'T HAVE THE TIME. Anyhoos, I'll be posting more about that later, but for now John and I are just friends; or rather, he just Facebook stalks me while I ignore him. But it's not like I want to be rude or anything, I ignore most people just because I am so BUSY, so it's actually the same for everyone! 

  Now to the core of this Post: School. So, I've been in classes for a month now, and so far it seems to be one of my easiest semesters! I am taking 1 Theatre Class (Theatre History), Advanced Japanese, American Government, History, and Stars and Universe. The hardest class, like always, is Japanese. Most time-consuming class, along with Japanese, is definitely Astronomy, but that's just because it has a lab component- but I love Astronomy, so it's not bad. Besides that, the other classes are super easy because all of the assignments are Online- my favorite! Haha, so I love them because I get do my work whenever I feel like it! I'm crossing my fingers this semester that I'll be able to possibly get straight A's??? I mean, it would be really nice. 

  Last semester, during the meeting with my Theatre Advisor, I came to the shocking realization that I'm almost done with college!! I can't get that out of my mind. In a year from now, I'll be in the middle of my LAST semester- boy does time fly! Well, thanks to that realization, I've had to start seriously thinking about what I want to do after college, and I'm still not totally sure... I absolutely want to attend Disney College, though. That's the plan: Graduate College Spring 2015 and then do Disney College Fall 2015, but that's as far as I've gotten... It's so difficult to decide what I want to do! Besides my Herbalife, I don't know. Do I want to stay in Texas??? Do I want to try my luck in CALIFORNIA??? What about JAPAN? I just don't know. I have so many options sitting in front of me and I don't know which to pick. Thankfully, I still have at least SOME time to decide...

   That's it for this post. I may have more free time this week/weekend to put up more posts, not to mention I have so much to talk about! I mean, a LOT- from my birthday, to youtube channels, my Herbalife biz, FROZEN, and especially my shows! SO- Stay Tuned! 

PS- Since I haven't posted any pictures in a while, here's one of me & my Pooh. ((teehee))

Update...

  Well, it's nearly the end of January and the last actual post I made was, what, around Halloween time?? Wow, it's been a while. I guess a quick update is in order??

  First off- I actually DID complete my 31days of Halloween Horror Movie Challenge, I just never found the time to complete my posts! Who knows? Maybe I'll finish them sometime... The last major series I watched was the Ju-On & Grudge movies, which, by the way, were absolutely TERRIFYING! And then I completed the challenge by watching other movies like, Hocus Pocus and The Nightmare Before Christmas! On actual Halloween Day I dressed up, as Pooh Bear of course, went to class, hung out with friends, then returned to my room where I took a a fantastic 5hour nap! 

  Throughout the month of November I mostly killed myself by working my Herbalife products, working the business a bit, jumping through hoops to find a ride home, and getting ready for finals. It was a very, VERY hectic month, but everything worked out. As for my Herbalife (which will have a more in-depth post very soon), I haven't jumped levels to Supervisor yet, buuuuut, I've had amazing results! In less than 2months, I lost nearly 15lbs &&&& over 30inches off my entire body!!! I couldn't believe it!! Actually, I didn't believe it until I saw a before & after picture of myself! It's so crazy how amazing I feel everyday & after seeing these major results, I plan to kill it before Spring Break hits!! 

  Finally, we had reached the end of the year and everything was happening all at once! Finals came and went, and I did fine. I was immensely overly-stressed with life, so I honestly went into every exam with a "FUUUUUUUU-" attitude. (Totally serious, by the way). Then I returned home, where stress-levels continued to be stretched to the limit! Let's see, I got home on the 17th, and my Grandparents arrived on the 21st. Translation, everyday leading up to the 21st was spent cleaning the house and attempting to keep the peace within the household. Don't get me wrong- I absolutely love my family, and I would never trade any of them, but family is family, and that's all I have to say on the matter... And so the holidays were among us: I spent most of my time split into spending time with Grandma (she refused to leave the house, ever), running errands with Grandpa (he always wanted company for trips to the store, yay, me...), playing games with Nicky (he ended up grounding himself just before the holiday break due to grades, so this was a bit difficult), babysitting every now-and-then, and finally getting to see all of my best friends. I also spent everyday doing my best to "eat clean & healthy," but failed epically. Christmas was a ton of fun, and so was New Years, but the best was my birthday! This year (last year) I turned 21, a very special number. For more than a week all I was basically allowed to drink was alcoholic beverages! It was horrible!! Haha, but I had a great time with everyone. I'll have to make a more detailed post about my birthday later.

  Before we knew it, it was the new year! On the 1st, I hung out with friends, and on the 2nd I was on a plane to California! Honestly, my days in California are usually my most relaxing of any holiday, mainly because I'm usually just lazying about in my pajamas all day, playing video games, or just hanging out with my dad! They hardly ever make me actually DO anything, which makes for a great break for me since I am always on-the-go! The night I landed I was surprised with my new car: a cute bright blue Nissan Versa Note! She's a 2014 & her name's Ariel (teehee). I love her, and it is so great to have a car again! Now I'm not just stuck! Anyway, I worked a couple days with Jenny, and about a week later, Dad & I were road tripping back to Texas! We drove Ariel from Chino, California to El Paso in one day; the next morning we stopped into Odessa to visit our newest family member, Emma, who was barely a week old; and then made our way home to San Antonio! We had one day of break, then early (like, 4AM early) we were on the road again. I dropped Dad off at the Austin airport, and made the rest of the return trip to Denton alone. It was strange because there was no traffic and the sun had risen and I was already at the school. So, let's just say, Ariel got herself a good workout!

  And here we are, a week ago school started and I decided to jump headfirst into Fit Camps (bad idea). I'm helping with at NTXNutrition now and with Fit Camps every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I'm only taking 15hours this semester, but Crackin' Up meetings should be starting soon, so that'll be taking up time, along with my Herbalife. Besides all of this, some very interesting events have arisen... Hint, hint: I will be kinda going on my first ever "date" tomorrow afternoon...! (O_O)

  I don't know what I'm exactly supposed to be feeling about everything right now, but I guess I'll have more to post about tomorrow???? Till then! 

Sincerely Yours, 

Lisette Monique Diaz 

Blog Title...

  As mentioned the last time I redid my blog, I feel like anytime I tweak it, I stick to blogging for some time; however, the name I changed it to in itself makes me want to keep up with my posts.
  Allow me to explain: when I first came to blog, it was just another thing I decided to try, like Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr- you know, just another social media of sorts. The next time, when I redid my whole blog, I changed its name: "And on Towards the Sky." This saying comes from one of my absolute favorite shows, Kaleido Star, as I explained when I redid the page. (I even did a whole couple posts about the show). The second time I redid my blog, I kept the name, changed the layout & began to treat it like a diary, except, like every diary I've ever owned, I hardly ever wrote in it. THIS TIME: I tweaked the page &&& changed the title: "No Day But Today." I've really wanted to change the title for a while, hence the few months of it being "Sweet Dreams," but I could never think of a perfect blog title- a title that was very ME. I kept thinking about some of my favorite words & things: Dreams, Disney, Otaku, Anime, Daydreamer, etc... I just couldn't get it! Last night, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I was spending time with my cousins in Dallas. We were watching RENT, a wonderful & beautiful musical, I hadn't seen it before (even though I actually OWN it), but I loved it! Or rather, I loved what I saw, seeing as how I fell asleep halfway through it (- -;).  But I woke up the last 30 or so minutes, just as they kicked off, "No Day But Today," and suddenly, it clicked! That was my new blog title!!
  I realized that I've always been the type of person to rush into things, that I'm always, ALWAYS, thinking forward towards my future, which is great, but not always the best game-plan. All last year I had to keep telling myself that I had to learn to live for every day & for every moment. I doubt I will ever be able to completely change myself, being the forward thinker I am, but if I only keep my eyes facing one direction, I'll just continue to miss so much. And so, this year, I plan to actually LIVE. I don't want to forget anything. I want to be able to have moments everyday: the good, the bad, and the great; I want them all. I'm only 21, but after living through family members with Dementia and Alzheimer's, at the same time having so many babies joining the family, as well as realizing just how close I am to graduating college!! I plan to live for No Day But Today, and by doing so, I'll have so many moments I won't be able to keep up with my posts! But, I'll give it a try! (^-^)
  Well, I guess I'm doing good so far- 2posts within a week's time, yay! I plan to keep the Diary/Letter format, since that's what I'm most familiar with (teehee). I don't know exactly WHO I'm "writing" to, since I have like ?4? followers- maybe just to a future me?? Anywhoos, till next time!

Sincerely Yours,
Lisette Monique Diaz  

A Whole New Year...

  It's been far too long since I last posted anything! I don't know if it's because my life has been just one giant rollercoaster, or because the blend having the end of the semester and the holidays was just too confusing (although I'm pretty sure it's just a mixture of both), but it's a whole new year and I plan to keep up as best I can on posting this time around!! Then again, I'm pretty sure I say that at the start of every year, but I promise to do it this time!! Well, hopefully...
  Honestly, though, it's been a pretty crazy holiday season & I actually have a lot to talk about! For example, I finally got a brand new car! Also, I got to see all of my family and friends, which hardly ever happens; &&& I turned 21!!! So, with all of these topics, plus all the shows & movies I've been watching, and school starting up again, I should have plenty of posts coming up in the next few days!

Sincerely Yours,
Lisette Monique Diaz
