Whoa! I haven’t blogged in like months!!! Anyway, just wanted to say Happy New Year! Not much has happened since my last blog, but here’s a small rundown of what’s been going on… I voted in November and I’m proud to have Barak Obama as our next president… I’ve been added as part of a team full time at my work’s company… and with my raise, I’ve been shopping like there’s no tomorrow! With Victoria’s Secret semi-annual sale and other stores, how can I turn down a sale? I’m done experimenting with hair products trying to get the perfect curls and I’m back to using my flat iron… and I just turned 31 a few days ago :D

I have some things planned for the new year. One of them is to get a haircut. I feel that my hair is ready for a new, updated look. But before I do that, I want to cut 8 inches off and donate it to Pantene’s Beautiful Lengths. I didn’t purposely grow my hair out for the cause, but since my hair is long enough, I figured why not donate it. I’m sure in the end, I’d feel real good that I’ve done something nice!

There are a few other things that I’m planning on doing from my 101 Things in 1001 Days list. I’m not neglecting it, I just haven’t updated it when it needs to be updated. I do need to add more goals to the list. I welcome any suggestions. Quit smoking is my top priority, along with losing a few pounds and saving money for my future.

Thank you for reading and here’s to the new year!!! I hope it brings nothing but good things coming your way! ;)

Ever listened to a song over and over again until you play it out? I’m notorious for doing that Lately, I’ve been listening to 106.7 Lite FM, trying to listen to something different from my rock ‘n roll, heavy metal, emo music just to get through the day. I haven’t been feeling well so Lite FM helps me work without feeling stressed out. One song that I look forward to them playing is Take A Bow by Rhianna. It reminds me of my relationship with my ex-hubby, the shit he put me through all these years, it’s still ain’t over… *sigh*

Anyway, I was searching for Rhianna’s video and I stumbled upon a cover song by two girls who I thought did an amazing job! I find myself playing their video more than the original song. They sound better than Rhianna. And they’re not boring to watch either, like they don’t just sing in front of the camera. You can tell they have fun. When they take turns singing, the other would do goofy gestures and whatnot. They make it very interesting to watch, and not to mention they’re incredibly gorgeous! One girl reminds me of Paula Abdul. I’m surprised they’re not discovered yet, they should have a record deal already, they’re that good!

So here’s my song/video of the moment:

I was bored so I decided to join the tag party I’ve seen this going around alot, especially my blog roll: Christiana, Aubrey, and Tao.

Here are the Rules:
1. Link to the person who tagged you
2. Post the rules on your blog
3. Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself
4. Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs
5. Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.

1. I’m a self-taught webdeveloper/designer. Well, not really. I was taught by my sister who was self-taught herself. I never went to school for what I do. I started out designing my own personal website until I was contacted by a wrestling promoter who loved my work and was asked to join the team as a webmistress. And from then on, I was contacted by various company who needed a website done. This allowed me to play around with web apps and understand their functions; e.g: php, css, etc. I’m currently working at home *in my PJs* as a webdeveloper.

2. I’m the only one in the world with the middle name Roswitantika. I know, how embaressing… LOL. Blame it on my Dad! He wanted it to be a unique middle name.

3. Most people don’t believe that I have 2 kids because I look like I’m 18 y/o I was shopping at Walmart one time with my son who’s 12, big and tall. I asked him to go and get me a shopping cart, and this lady who was standing next to me said what a nice boyfriend I have. I looked at her and told her that he was my son. She laughed with embaressment and said I looked too young to have a kid like that. Also, I’ve had a few people come up to me and said what nice brothers I have.

4. I met my boyfriend on MySpace. No, it wasn’t one of those random people that we contacted we thought was hot. Actually I saw him listed under the same school and under the same year. I contacted him initially just to say hi. Then we found out that we knew the same people who we were really close with. Being that he lived in Jersey, he came up during X-mas week for his vacation to visit and spend the holidays with me and we’ve been together ever since. This year marks our 3rd anniversary.

5. I can’t drive. I lived in NYC that I depend on mass transportation. Soon, I’ll be going for my driver’s license though, just to have.

6. The Exorcist… I’m traumatized for life! ‘Nuff said!

This tag has been going around that most people who are on my daily blog roll has been tagged already… So not sure who to tag, but if you’re interested in doing this… TAG!!! You’re it!!!

I love my kids. Both of them. And I’ll do whatever it takes to make them feel safe and secure in this world. That’s what mom’s supposed to do, right?

Today, I was heartbroken when my 9 y/o son came home asking me if there was anything to eat cuz he was hungry. ”Hungry? Did you eat anything in school?” “No, cuz I accidently hit someone and they made me stand against the wall.” I didn’t think anything of it besides him being punished for something he did by accident. Bitch!!!… whoever that was. He should’ve eaten!

During the course of the day, the more I thought about it, the angier I got. So I asked him a few more questions. “So, did you go out for recess?” “yes” “Who else were with you standing against the wall?” “A few others” “Where were you standing?” “In front of the other kids who were eating”…. Maaaaan, I was heated. When I’m angry, I’M ANGRY. Anyone who knows me well knows that I don’t get angry that easily. I’m very neutral with everything. And it takes alot to piss me off, especially when it’s regarding my kids. So that’s all I needed to know, they made him skip lunch and have him stand there, starving!

Who made these rules?!?! I’m so furious!!! I even wrote a letter to the school to inform them about this practice. I don’t mind if they took away his recess time, but LUNCH??!! Who goes through the day without eating for 6 hours? I find it VERY cruel and insulting. Whether he misbehaved or not, he shouldn’t be missing out on lunch. They will hear it from me, if not the Board of Ed. I think I have every right to be upset. What kind of a world are we living in anyway?

This pic was taken a few nights ago when it was hot and the AC wasn’t doing a damn thing. My strapless bra was cutting off my circulation so I decided to take it off and do something silly with it. Like my new look? LOL… This is the stuff I do in my sister’s room to keep her laughing ’til she can’t breathe anymore. That’s my job Plus my brain was fried that I tend to do stupid things like this. It’s just to show you the kind of humor I have… hehe. I need a new bra, I think I’m a cup bigger now… woohoo!!! That explains the backache I’ve been getting

Anyhow, I got a message from a few fellow MUA’ers wanting to swap with me. I kinda hesitated at first thinking about Christiana’s experience being swaplifted. But then I gave in and got back to them. I have alot of stuff to swap and being that they’re kinda new and in good condition, I hate the thought of throwing it out, so why not swap, ya know? I want to swap a few of my NYX Round l/s, even though they don’t look too nice on me, I don’t want to part with it yet… LOL. I like looking over at my collection, it’s my new love. So anyway, as a noob, I sent out my swap earlier today, so I hope to get theirs in return. I swapped my shadow brush that I rarely use for a Cover Girl eyeshadow, and H&M eyeshadow palette and Milani blush for eyeliner, eyeshadow and foundation. I hope it works out.

This weekend I’ll be visiting Jersey to help out my bf around the house. With the “she-devil” not being around anymore, he needs my help. So it’s gonna be a very productive weekend. I hope you guys stay cool, don’t forget your sunscreen and have a great weekend. What will you be doing this weekend?
