HAPPY 2016

I cannot believe it!!! This year wow...well its been ok so far.
Yesterday my dad had surgery on his neck to relieve the arthritis near his spinal cord. Hopefully this will help him recover and be back to normal 100%. God knows he needs it. Everything went well and I know things will get better for him. Other than that, my boyfriend has been in Colombia for the last couple of weeks. He returns on the 14th!! OMG I can't wait to see him!! I've felt like a piece of me is missing...awww...that was corny lol. His birthday was on the 8th of this month. We will make up for the late celebration when he returns.  I just miss him tons. He has become someone very special in my life.

New years celebration was fun and simple. I spent it with the fam at my sisters house. I am looking forward to this year. It's like a brand new beginning for me. Last year was tough man. Especially to my poor heart. It was shattered completely. But I am happy to say that it has been glued back together. Tho,I am being very protective of it too. It's gentle, gotta hold with care. ;)
Anyway, I will do a post of my yearly goals tomorrow.
That will be fun....

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 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 53.

Happy Sunday Funday!! This is the current mood in my house right now:

 Chillaxing... didn't do much today. A bit of real estate work in the a.m. but that was it.
Currently torn between watching WWE Fastlane & the Oscars. I am flipping channels back and forth lol. Babe gets off of work at 10:30 today... meeehh...

It has been a great weekend though. I met up with a few clients, also had a quick lunch with my mom and sister, got my hair did, and played bingo with friends.

Here's me & my new hair...added a few lighter highlights. My hairdresser is going to help me go lighter. I have had dark brown hair for the last 3-4 years and I am so ready for a good change :)

I have a lot to do this week. A lot of things to take care of. I am also hoping for good news regarding a few of my real estate deals. God knows I need it. That's the thing with real estate, one week it can be awesome and the next it can really turn things around and suck! I laugh when people think real estate agents don't do much but give tours of houses. Ha! I wish that was the only thing I did and got paid for!

My plan is also to start doing 2-3 mile run every day this week! (me typing this as I eat m&ms) Let's see how that goes!
Oh also, I have some more footage for my vlog! Not sure if I'll have time tomorrow but most likely Tuesday.

I think that's all for today.

Day 51.

Well..well..well..things are going great. I love when unexpected turn of events occur..and I am talking about the good kind..I'll just keep crossing my fingers though.

Valentine's Day was cool this year. We didn't do much. I roasted a chicken,kinda. Potatoes and rice as sides. I bought Bob a watch to add to his new collection/obssession. He is know buying watches left and right lol. I also just ordered him this really nice watch holder from amazon but it hasn't arrived yet.  Oh and guess what he got me..A PRINTER!!Haha...Sounds lame but I really needed it. I  also ended up buying me a new MK purse that I am deeply in love with. We ended the night and next morning very happy ;) hehehe...

Oh also V-day morning, I had a quick photo session with Cris. Here's a few photos:

I am proud of him and everything he is accomplishing.

Work has kept me busy, but that's nothing new. I still have 2 listings I need to sell asap. Right at this moment, I don't really understand the market. Now that tax season is here, I am hoping these 2 will sell fast! I dislike when I don't have control over something like this. I just want to make sure my clients are happy and satisfy with my work maaan! I'll keep pushing for good things to happen, not gonna give up.

I started vlogging here and there but it's harder than I thought..and I feel like it's really boring lol. But what I'll do is vlog through the weekend and hopefully have the video edited by Sunday to upload.

Day 47.Long overdue.

So here goes my long overdue update of my life.
Since the beginning of the month life has been super busy. Ever day I have been getting home til about 8pm either showing homes or meeting with clients.
Here's a few pics of what happen to me in between work:

There ya go..pictures speak louder than words. I have been working my butt off trying to make deals happen. Unfortunately, there have been some negatives but I also just got 2 offers accepted so that's good news :)
I know things will only get better. I am currently organizing my 'creative space' aka office. I am trying to keep it as simple as possible but with a touch of sparklness (pretty sure that's not a word) lol.
Now that my schedule has changed, I can definitely say working out is in my near future. Also, I may be vlogging more ;) Excited!!!!!!!

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 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.

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..

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.

TTYL,

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!
