Moments of Musing

First Things First

Filed Under: linkup //

Since Sunday is the first day of the week, today I am doing:

First Things First

1. First broken heart

“Love”? Junior year of HS, when my then-bf and I broke up. Life? Fifth grade, when my grandma died </3

2. First thing you do when you wake up in the morning

Look at my phone … either to snooze/shut alarm or check emails/texts (mostly to see if T has sent me anything <3)

3. First high school dance or prom (talk about date, dress, whatever, and share pictures too!)

I only had one high school prom, Senior Prom! My high school “deprived” me of other dances like junior prom, homecoming… and lockers (which I now have in law school, go figure lol)! Womp, womp. Nonetheless, here are a couple pictures of me at pre-prom, June 2006:

Good Reads

Filed Under: books, reading //

This week, I read:
 The Coincidence of Callie and Kayden (The Coincidence, #1)
I know the cover looks cheesy and you therefore might think it is a cheesy book. But it is actually a bestseller (probably half for its steamy scenes and half because of the actual storyline). In all honesty, it is a really touching – and at times sad – book regarding negative childhood experiences and the way to (try to) persevere despite them. I recommend it.
Oh, and if you’re not opposed to a tearjerker, I recommend reading this:
Happy Friday! Let me know of any good reads you recommend! 
Have a great weekend 🙂

PS: this was unfortunately my exercise routine this week.

Next week is less busy so it’s on!!!!

Thankful

Tomorrow, my mom is hopping on a plane with me, yet again, to head to Chicago for a final interview. (Please send good wishes and vibes my way!!!) The constant support I get from my parents never ceases to amaze me and for that, I dedicate today’s post to them.

 
Me at the Great Wall of China, May 2010. 
That was my college graduation present from my parents.
That is one of my favorite traveling photos. I would not be able to experience much of what I have and continue to experience without my parents’ constant love and support. As I am approaching yet another big milestone in my life, I’ve stopped to think about what my younger years have held and I just wanted to say THANK YOU (yet again) Mom & Dad for always believing in me and giving me the world.
