2017 2017 2017

HOOOOLY cow!!! Another year is here!!! 2016 was awesome..it really was one of the best years of my life!! It was full of adventures, happiness and love lots of love. Of course,  I had my bad days. I had days I felt like giving up  but who doesn't. That's life. Anyway, let's talk about now.
Right now. We have a new president. All I can say is that God is in control. At this moment in life, I want to pursue my passions. I want to start writing again. I want to start taking photos again. I want to fall in love with nature and spend more time in it. Those are a few of my personal goals.
I also want to vlog/blog more. I want to find my niche when it comes to this side of things. I want to become more creative. I want to do so much!! Sometimes I don't even know where to start.
Every day is a new day!!

Day 77.

Hello hi hola...It is great to be back! I actually have been trying to be back for the longest time ever.
I am exhausted. I feel like I need a couple days off. But not gonna happen lol..Not complaining at all. I love working and staying busy. I just haven't had a good break in a long time.

Not too much has changed. Working with my awesome buyers and sellers and getting deals closed! DUUUH!!!Life at home is good, my babe has a set schedule now so he no longer has to work odd hours and days. I am happy for him and very proud of what he is accomplishing.

 Eh..my family needs prayers. Things are a bit confusing? Not sure if that's the correct word but things get difficult with change. But ultimately, I am content that everyone is healthy and a live. Love those people no matter what.

Anyway..still working on my schedule..I thought I would have it down by now but it's ok. I know it takes time. Working out so far at least 2 times a week. I am trying to be more consistent with that, especially since it's almost April and that means 7 months until my first half marathon. I really want to be fit and be able to run the 13 miles within 2 hours. We shall see, I know I have time to get there if I really set my mind into it. Pray for me. Ha. I feel like I have gained more weight these days. Not sure what it is. But it's not good!! Ugh...

I think that's it for today..my mind is not really into this post..I just want to curl in my couch and fall asleep.

Day 68.

RECAP!!

Happy MARCH!!!!! ahhh..really..almost April?? gosh time is sure flying by (I say this every year ha). Anyway, it has been a very productive week. Got lots of work done and much more to do this week.

I still have to work on my schedule & routine for each day. It seems like every day is different now a days. Sometimes I have early morning appointments or errands to do and other times I get super busy in the afternoons and don't get home til after 7.  I think I really have to set my schedule and make all my appointments in the afternoon unless clients absolutely can't. I've learned in past experiences that mornings should be for preparing for the day and prospecting for new business. It helps to reflect on ideas to help me succeed and accomplish at least 1 goal for my personal and professional life each day. I also want to get my work out in the morning...first thing after I wake up. That's my next really important task that I am going to work on this week.

So last Wednesday, I had the pleasure of attending WPPI. It was a blast! I met up with my friend whom I met at the CSN photography program, Bob.  We just went to the EXPO and saw lots of awesome photo and video equipment.  I decided to shoot video instead of taking photos. Here it is:

On Saturday,  I did the Bubble Run at Sam Boyd with friends. That was fun! Now I feel sore but that's good lol.  Here's some photos:

 It's almost 11PM and I still have some cleaning and laundry to do before the start of a busy week. So, I will be back soon. ;)

Day 58.

**This post was suppose to go up yesterday but IDK why..I forgot to hit the publish button!!**

So far so good, except I have not worked out at all. Monday & Tuesday right when I woke up, I put on my work out clothes and shoes but what happen? Well life I guess...that plus Robert being off those days well..we had things to do.

Anyway..I gotta say this week has been good so far. I guess it does help that I started off the week with a positive mind. I am a happy bunny.

Now, I need my butt to start working out and getting in the routine of it!!!!! Ugh..I know I can do it...I know it...I just need to do it! lol.

Oh! I am also in need of doing more real estate prospecting...my goal is to close 50 deals this year and I know I can at least get very close to it if not do it! A step at a time. I am in the process of reading several motivational books to help me get inspire and push me to do things out of my comfort zone. I know that's the only way I'll succeed!!!!

No big weekend plans..mainly just hang out with fam. I still haven't touch my 'vlog'. I'll get to it..it's just not on the top of my to do list right now...heh..

Ok off to bed I go...

Day 21.

Hi Bloggy!

I am sleepy & want to go to bed so bad right now. I basically got done working for the day and it's 10:10PM. I started working at 7:30 this morning. Non-stop. It's cool but at the same time it's not. It was a very productive one but where did my day go? I wish we had more time in a day.

I wanted to do a 'what's in my purse' video to upload but no energy. I will do it tomorrow for sure. I wonder what I have in there..I haven't cleaned it out in a couple of weeks.
Well other than today being productive, I ate pizza for dinner. Soft food=pizza. Heh.

Anyways...I need to upload more music to my ipod...I find myself listening to the radio more often now a days..maybe I will go do that before I head to bed.

Here's a little to-do reminder for myself:

-CLEAN DESK AREA
-ORGANIZE PAPER WORK
-UPDATE FILES
-REX.NEEDS.HAIRCUT.STAT.
- BILLS.

OOOOOh and guess who gets a new phone on Monday!?!?!?

ME!!

DAY 19. & Too much information.

Hello there.

It's me! Remember me? Well it has been an eventful week/end.

Let's start off with last Thursday. I wanted to write a review for Rachel's Kitchen and I didn't have time. All I can say is that it's good food. It tasted very healthy and delicious. I will def. try again. Here's what I got:

To go packaging

Club 411 Sandwich, grilled chicken.

Chicken & Rice soup..the best part! With lots of Veggies.

I got home Thursday and made the chicken mole I had promise my amiga. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pics of the process :( It was late Thursday and I just wanted to finish. I gotta say, it wasn't exactly how I wanted it to turn out but it wasn't bad. I made white rice with it and ate it for lunch with my amiga on Friday. She liked it so that's all that matters really. Oh! She also announced that she got into the nursing program! So extremely proud of her and excited for her new journey!

On Saturday, I finally decided to go to the dentist. I've had this molar pain which we thought it was just a cavity. Turns out it was my wisdom tooth which did have a cavity. I didn't know my wisdom teeth came out! I ended up extracting both my top wisdom molars. I was a nervous wreck, especially being alone there. But it wasn't tooo bad, what suck the most was waiting forever. I got there at 10:30am and didn't leave til about 1. I wanted it to be over with. Here is a pic of my teeth. Not sure if I will remove my bottom wisdom teeth yet. No pain so I may not. I have a few cavity's I need to have filled so I am going back Feb 7 for that. Here's a pic of my teeth. Getting a cleaning as well :)

I sneaked this pic while in the chair..waiting..

Yesterday was fun. In the morning my mom, brother and I went over to my dad's apartment to have lunch. He made caldo de res. It was a bit hard for me to eat but I did it. Later that day, I went over Robert's parents house to watch the Colts & Patriots game. So its the Seahawks & Pats! I hope it'll be a fun and great game. I kinda want the Pat's to beat the Hawks, just because the Hawk's won last year. But if Seattle wins, I will happy too since they're reppin' the west coast :) Not sure what the plans are for Feb 1 but I am sure it will be filled with junk food ha.

Anyway. I am proud of myself for waking up at 5:45AM all last week and working out for 45 mins. This week, I gotta take it a bit slow because of my wisdom extraction but I will still be working out as much as I can.

Today,  is MLK Day. Lot's of places are closed but I am catching up on real estate work. I got to go to the office in a bit and also meeting up with a seller. I may have to meet up with a buyer since we plan on closing this week. I also am planning an open house for this Saturday so I have to get ready for that. I am doing announcements and flyers.

I think that's it for today. Like I said in the title, too much information and catching up.

Day 14

??? Why? Where? When? What?

Ok I know I haven't blog in a while. I'll be honest I was just not in the mood too. I think I overwhelmed myself last week. Anyway I am back and motivated!

I am excited to announce that I have gotten up at 5:45AM for the past 3 days ...and I have worked out for 45mins straight :) I can't wait to start seeing results. I know every day I work out and sweat, I get closer to my goal! Can't stop, won't stop!!!!!!!!!

Now on the eating side of this, well...I have decided to only eat restaurant food but no fast food at all. Any place that has a drive thru is off limits.  My other plan is to cook at least 3 times a week. I want/need to start taking lunch so I don't HAVE to go buy something. I have been going to fresh n easy but because of their construction going on, their microwaves aren't functioning. Hopefully they finish soon! 

I also got 3 new buyers this week!! Hope I can find them a home soon. I am doing my best to sell the listings I have as well. The market is a bit slow this time of the year but should be picking up very soon, especially with tax season coming up! Wish me luck!!

I think that's all for today... Gonna go hang out with babe in our new(semi-used) couches that his mom gave us :) I'll take a pic and upload later. Ps. I am working on a getting a home loan but good and bad news with that. I will leave it for another blog spot.

Day 9.

Happy Friday!!!!!

So excited that the first week of the year is over. It was a long but a very productive week. I got a lot of work done and only looking forward to more. I was and am exhausted though but I got a lot to do this weekend. I have several showing appointments, plus helping my family move places. It's gonna be busy.

Today was nice. I had lunch with my best Amaezing friend. She made a delicious chicken Parmesan spaghetti. I should of taken a picture of it. It's my turn to cook next for the both of us. She requested Mexican mole (pronounce moo-lee?) I've never made it but I'm always up for a challenge. Gonna ask my mom for the recipe. I'll definitely blog how it goes.

Right when I got home, babe told me to get ready. We were going out but he didn't say where to. We ended at Outback for dinner and there was a 45min wait! But we decided to wait it out. Finally got seated and ordered right away. I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich and mash potatoes and babe got the baby back ribs. So worth the wait. I also got a melon chelada, recommended!! Was delicious and a great way to end the work week with! After dinner, he took me to downtown summer, we went to sports authority, foot locker and champs. Babe got shoes and a sweater. He asked me to pick out shoes but I told me I'd prefer a purse lol. Then we went to the apple store and guess what!!!! We bought an iPod nano for me and an iPod touch for Robert. His iPod Classic broke a couple days ago and I've been meaning to buy me one. Love it so far!!! We went to a sports store on Trop & Fort Apache... babe got a panthers hat. I almost got a men's panthers shirt but I thought it looked really manly. They didn't have any women's panthers shirts :( they're not really my team but I'm cheering for them. Especially Cam Newton <333 ha.

We finally got back home and now watching the Blacklist. I gotta say I like this show for far. Red is awesome! And funny and charming.

Ok off to chill now.

Day 7.

HELLO! I am exhausted.

So update, I worked out on Monday!! I was suppose to work out today again but I just got home from showing homes and I am exhausted :( no energy. Plus I ate bad food today and my tummy hurts. Excuses? :(

OOHH and I also closed my very first deal of 2015 on Monday! So excited to start the year like that. I should have another closing in the next week or so if everything goes well. How exciting is that!!! My goal is 25 this year and I plan to accomplish it!!!

I am so ready for the weekend, I plan to do nothing but stay in bed..my body feels tired and with no energy. I blame it on the time of the month and probably the need to burn fat too! boo.

Robert took down the Christmas tree yesterday..kinda sad about that... he got me mad yesterday..
I asked him to do me a favor and he got an attitude with me..he says he didn't but he did! I rarely ask for favors so when I ask for one is because I really really need it. I was mad with him for the rest of the day and then we made eye contact and we both started laughing. lol. Weirdos I know!! But he apologized and we moved on..best not happen again :p

I think that's it for today, hopefully I will make more exciting blog post in the future!

Day 4.

So today started off lazy as heck. Robert watched 6 episodes of Nikita last night while I was sleeping. And of course I just had to catch up to him today. I watched all 6 episodes and now we're both on season 4! THE LAST SEASON EVER!! I honestly have never watched a tv show that gave me a headache..... caused by the suspense of each episode. My head wanted to explode a couple of times but I couldn't stop watching! I actually had mix feelings about this show today. I mean it's a good show but it seems like the story line keeps repeating itself. Get rid of Amanda already! I hate evil beeotches.  Ugh.

I had the left over pancakes for breakfast oh and also ate babes leftovers as well :) I am such a fatty! Oh well.

I cleaned the bathroom while watching the Cowboy/Lions game. No comment on that. Then I made myself taquitos (which sucked) and watched the original TMNT movie on Netflix. That movie is 1000093204093 times better than the one with Megan Fox. I took a little 20 minute nap somewhere in the  middle of it though. After, I turned the tv off and answered emails, did a bit of marketing for my current listings and updated a few files. I also just bought www.theparadisequeen.com YAY!! and it was only $4!!! YAAAY! I am still working on getting it redirected to here. Should happen in the next couple of days :)

Babe just got home. I predict junk food for late dinner while we watch Total Divas!!! Yup. I am sure that's happening.

I do plan on going to bed by 11PM. I really want to start waking up at 6AM again and do my whole work out routine before work. Let's see how it goes. Monday's are so tough!

Here are a few NYE photos AND a video enjoy...

Walking 1.5 miles to the strip.

 Don't ask where we got this USA Flag from.

 We ended up at the NYNY parking garage.

 The little brotha.

 Fireworks in our faces.

 The brother & the galfriend.

Day 3.

I was trying to blog yesterday but I spent the whole night trying to update this blog, come up with a cute name and figure out what the game plan is for this baby. So I present to you THE PARADISE QUEEN!!

So why the name? Well because I like it! No but really, I HAD to include Queen in the name somehow. And paradise well..paradise means a lot to me. Paradise is what I aim to live in, not only physically but mentally and emotionally. To me paradise is a place of tranquility, dreams, and bliss. That's exactly what I want to bring to this blog even though I know there will be times of darkness, at the end of the day I want to be in paradise. Paradise is also the name of a Coldplay song that reminds me of the times I started dating my love. Every time that song came on and we were together life just felt perfect. Anyway that's that. I'm keeping it. ;)

 

Today was a fun easy going day... Woke up around 9, got ready and headed out for a showing appointment at 10:30. Came home around 1 and babe was still sleeping. He woke up shortly after and we ordered pancakes from IHOP.

We watched the panthers vs cardinals game, picked up jack in the box and then watched the steelers vs ravens. Happy panthers won,sad steelers lost.

 

We just got back from the corner store...bought chips and drinks. Now we're chilling in bed watching Jack Ryan movie on netflix.

 

No plans for tomorrow as of yet. Babe wasn't suppose to work but he got called so it'll just be me.

 

I still have to upload nye photos! Maybe I'll do that tomorrow!

OMG I got a iMac

So like, I always said the day I get an iMac is the day I won't have an excuse to my blog! lol
We'll we got an iMac this weekend and here I am blogging.

A few things have changed since my last entry. I am working a temp job Mon-Fri. We got another doggy, name Rex. He is a havanese/maltese mix. We also bought another car, a 2003 mustang for the bae. I closed 3 deals in the past month and a half. Christmas is right around the corner. Oh and we also renewed our lease for 6 more months.

My plans for next year so farare, first off invest in a house. Pay off half my car (that's $12K). Lose 30 pounds, to weight 130ish. You do the math. I am overweight for my height :(

I think that's all the updates I can think of for today.

Until tomorrow maybe...

Here's a pic of my iMac & I.

 Our Christmas for this year...

 Say hello to Rex..

Hello there

It has been a while since I blogged...but I did it on purpose.
I was waiting for this change in my life. It happened. I am happy.
I have decided to pursue my dreams without any distractions or disappointments.
I know there will be bumps in the road. I will over come them. One at a time.

It's hard to make life changing decisions. It was a tough choice. But it had to happen.

I'm hoping to blog more often now. Just document my feelings and my journeys, you know.
Hopefully, I can vlog too!

Anyway, I doubt anyone reads this but that's okay. Life goes on. :)

I am still the real estate agent & photographer who loves life!!!

Madmen & Mondays

I am currently watching Madmen...can I just say that I LOVE this show. It's just so unique and entertaining. Seems like every episode has a secret in it not revealed until a couple shows later and I'm really into that. I'm glad I got into it before it ends forever. It's nice to watch the last episodes 'live' than later on on Netflix. I DON'T WANT IT TO END!!!!!

Soo..tomorrow's Monday again. I really want to change my attitude towards Monday. I have been thinking about this lately and I came to the conclusion that what I have to do is to make up something exciting about it, like how it feels to say TGIF after a long week. But honestly what exciting thing happens on Monday? I mean, I do love what I do and it shouldn't be so hard to get back to the grind after a day or two off right? But it's tough when you're your own 'boss'. My job depends on me to actually do work, you see, if I take Monday's off (the most important day of a work week) then my whole week is ruined! Oh Mondays, what am I going to do with you?

I am still working on me, I came to the realization (again) that it takes time..a lot of it. But I do see some progress so that's always helpful. I admit sometimes I get side tracked, it's soo easy to get off track...I just have to learn to get back on the train and continue to my destination.

Take it easy...

Today was one of those rare lazy days....it was great!! I slept in til about 9:30..and I stayed in bed for 3 hours after that. I enjoyed it so...

Nothing much to report. We have stayed on track on the P90X3, I am sore alllll the time lol

Work is work. But I do need to make some changes though. More about that in another blog post ;)

I think that's it for now, my brain is still in a lazy state of mind and my arms hurt!!!

TGIF?

Mmm...not sure how we got here so fast..my plan was to post on Wednesday but I honestly only remember working,sleeping, and working some more. This was a super busy week. I got two buyers into a home, I received 3 new buyer leads and I am working on getting about 8 people pre-qualified for a home loan. I am hoping that I can get another 2 or 3 into escrow before my trip next Friday...which reminds me I need to go shopping for a pretty dress tomorrow. My cousin is getting married in Phoenix! I am excited to get out of Vegas for a bit but not so stoked about sleeping in a hotel room with my mom, sister, brothers,grandma, aunts and uncle. LOL. I am also hoping we don't hit traffic on our way there, I can't stand sitting for more than 4 hours AND I'm the one driving since we're going in my car. I am sure I will blog all about it...

I try to take today off since I will be working on the weekend but it was impossible. I did some follow-up calls to a few past client's and updated some of my new leads. I need to send an offer as well but the Century 21 email is currently down for maintenance so I will have to work on that tomorrow morning. I have a buyer's appointment tomorrow morning and also a Javita Coffee and Tea party to attend tomorrow among errands that I need to take care of. We did take some time today to go watch Brick Mansion though. I liked it! I honestly wasn't to excited to watch it since it looked overwhelmed with slow-mo action clips and that's not really my thing but it was good. Of course, it was also a plus to watch Paul Walker! I almost teared at the end of the movie when they put a picture of Paul with the words 'In loving memory.'

Anyway, I really need to work on my schedule. I have been sleeping late and waking up later than I intend. This is what I want my schedule to look like:

Wake up- 6:30 AM

3 mile work-out-6:45 to 7:30 AM

Breakfast, shower & get ready-7:35 to 8:30 AM

Leave to office & arrive- 9:00 AM

Work- 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (rarely done by 5...I usually have house showings around that time)

Oh have lunch every day at noon & dinner no later than 7:00 PM

Bed time- 10:00 PM

Yes, it's 11PM right now...I should be in bed...I am a mess..ugh..I guess I can at least follow thru with that schedule Monday-Thursday and treat myself to no specific schedule Friday-Sunday so I don't feel like every day is the same which I hate! I just need to get on track!!! I have several apps & organization methods that are helping me out and I plan on making myself accountable with them.. let's see how that goes!!!

Have a wonderful weekend!
