Peek-a-Boo,

I see you!

Yes,  I'm still alive and well thank God. I haven't forgotten about this blog, in fact I'm always thinking of what can I write and that I need to update as the months went on. Wow, I think it's actually almost a year since my last published post! My apologies.

Hmm, what has happened?

• Well, for the most part last year I have been studying for the MCATs as well the usual volunteer work 3x a week. April 2013 I attempted the MCAT and sadly did not do well. Since then I have been relaxing a bit. (See, there wasn't much to update up to April because I had not been doing much). 
• My 24th birthday came in May, I celebrated with a little game night at my house it was fun! I've never hosted anything before, had a small space to work with but it all worked out. Had an awesome time with awesome friends. (My Instagram has a couple pics if you're interested).
• Not so much my update, but in June my youngest brother (I have 2) graduated from high school and is now in college! Proud of him!
• Another not so much my update, but in August my parents celebrated 25 years of marriage! I thank God for the strength, patience, and love it takes for that and that He gives them many more wonderful years. I only pray God gives me someone wonderful and blesses me with a long and loving marriage. 
• As of last week, (although forever a Windows chick) I am now a Mac girl (no, not a makeup artist ;). I am still getting used to this, but I'm a quick learner. (If anyone would like to let me know the Mac version of 'Home' and 'End' keys, I would greatly appreciate it. I've simply been dragging the cursor to the beginning or end of a sentence).
• Tomorrow is the first day of grad classes for me! I am pursuing a Master's in Public Health! I had wanted to purse an MD/MPH degree, but for now I'll work on the MPH. No use holding it off for any longer. I am only getting older!

Today is Labor Day, my family is hosting a little something and I think I hear our first guests arriving! Hope the weather clears up and that the sun comes out!

How's everything all with you guys?

Until next time =) (I promise my next post will not be a year from now!)

Get It Right, Get It Tight - Workout Clothes

Hey guys, I know it's been a couple of months although I have been active reading around the blogosphere. Just been having some writer's block.

I know summer is almost over but fitness should be a lifetime and not just to get ready for summer. Admittedly, I've been slacking off since like July. The heat has made me lazy to try and workout but I am trying to get more active again.

So, I just wanted to let you guys know of where you can get workout gear for a bit less than their retail price. Personally, I've been getting a few things from Marshall's. They have good brand names for lower prices. The reason being that they're from previous seasons. However, to me that's not a big deal at all! It's the same quality of clothing yet maybe without this season's hot color or pattern. Stores like Marshall's and TJMaxx are good to check out. You can also check for sales at Macy's, Modell's, Finish Line, etc.

Friend's FB status.

I like this. Good way to look at it.

• get photo albums for my photos from my cruise & graduation
• develop grad pics lol
• maybe go to Coney Island? =) (i have never been!)
• finish creating my new room

In General:

• GET A JOB!!! (hopefully I can lock on down before the summer is over tho)

that's all i can think of for now....any readers have things they want to do before the summer is over?

all this with God's will & help.
