Purposeful Serendipities

Hey Blog World!

Just Checking In! I'm still breathing and living life. I have still appllying to every and almost any where. I had an interview with my current employer today for a job that I am basically already doing. So we shall see what happens I decided to attached some more recent nail designgs. Lets not mention the fact that I brought 6 more polishes today. I'm dying to paint my nails even though I just painted them yesterday. Check it out

I used to be heavy on getting acrylic nail sets done with nail art at the beauty salon, but each trip was an experienced in itself. I love living in the hood for the good bargains and discounts, but I hate the extra stuff I have to deal with along with my good discount. First off you have to deal with the loud mouths who feel the need to get their services, and to tell everyone in the store their business by being super loud and obnoxious! Then you have the seat reserver/eye roller, the one who wants the owner Mr. Lee himself to do their nails and feels the needs to abuse and side each every customer or nail tech who prevents her from doing that. I loved getting my nails, but I felt like I was being punished at the same time. You also have to remember that nails require touch-ups which means I'm punishing myself bi-weekly. Double FML.

So anyhow lately I have increased my nail polish from like 5 to like 30 or so. I also purchased a nail stamping kit and some rhinestones to help my creative juices to flow. I have managed to come up with some cute designs, and I also have managed to fail a couple of times (I'm still learning proper stamping techniques! lol )


Anyhow here are some of my creations:









OOOO (Hugs No Kisses cuz my nails are wet!)

Hey Blog World! This weekend has been hectic and quiet at the same time. It was mi madre birthday so we spoiled her and took her to this Cuban restaurant that has an amazing fried red snapper dish. I brought her Zumba for her Nintendo Wii (I'm sooooo plottin' on that) and I brought her a watch too that I wanted to return so bad just because I felt like she made up wanting it. I honestly feel like she couldn't think of anything else to add to her "Daughter-Buy-Me-List:" (My mom is super spoiled. We give her everything her non-tech working behind can imagine!)

Anyhow I baked a Lemon Raspberry cake that i pulled off of the Betty Crocker website. All who knows me, know that I am not a fan of the kitchen, but I manuveured around and managed to make some bomb ass frosting and my cake was 2 LAYERS with filling in the middle!!!! I think I deserve some credit!!! Anyway my mom said it was good but that could have been a mom answer. My sister's "bitter dose of reality" children didn't hesistate to tell me they weren't feeling it too much. My boyfriend also felt the need to tell me the flavors didn't mix. I still think lemon raspberry is an awesome combo. I think it was too much lemon going on, and I didn't care for fresh raspberry or the candied lemon zest as I imagined. Some times things are better enjoyed when left simple (i.e. some homemade cake and frosting is sufficient enough). Here are some pics of my cake.


On another note: Currently job searching and hating it/beyond frustrated by it. I have a daily list of employment sites i visit religiously. I mean I watch a million reality shows with plenty of talentless people or work or encounter people in positions without the mental capacity to back up their title. Nothing in life comes easy, so I'll continue My Post-Grad Hustle & Flow Lifestyle.
Anyway I'll be in Jamaica in 2 weeks so take that Corporate America!!!! ;op

I recently purchased my beloved iPad 2. My iPad 2 was pretty serendipitous in itself because it was by luck that my sister’s co-worker happened to have an extra one. Of course being the tech junkie/closet apple product lover that I am, I couldn’t let this luck of fortune past me by. It took a little money scraping and favor-asking, but I got my iPad2 the next day, and it was love at first click/swipe. Now I have suffered the consequences of budget lunches/dinners and now a temp turned off cell phone, just because I chose my iPad 2.



The people in my life keep waving that red flag in my face saying, “Oh that is because you brought that stupid iPad”, ensuring that I don’t forget I brought myself an elaborate present. However they are completely forgetting the fact that getting the iPad 2 right now is either a lucky walk-in at a store or a 3 week waiting period game. I GOT LUCKY!!!! So what my phone is not working for approximately 8 hours, phone conversations are overrated! So what I have been eating Ramen more than once or sharing food with my 2 year old nieces!!!! It’s better than nothing. I work hard to splurge on myself every once in awhile, even if it is a little outrageous.

If it weren’t for my chance of luck, I would have stuck to my budget methods and got my iPad 2 or e –book reader device when the time was right. Seriously though how many times have you guys saw a shorter cashier line and opted to continue waiting in the long line with the extremely slow and careless cashier, or how many time have you gone to the amusement park and paid the $15 VIP pass so you can ride the faster without the lines.

While you are shaking your head at me with your judgmental eyes! I’ll be an app ahead of you HATER!

‘Top o the morning to you' all my Green Goblins! It’s St. Patty Day, and although I’m not Irish I threw on a little green to stay in spirit. Although how come on Haitian Flag Day people aren’t walking around in red & blue and making banan peze & griot everywhere, or letting some Haitian kids dress up in our cultural wear (you know the light blue fabric with the colored stitching) to teach the moun blan how to do some kompa?!?!? Shoot some American Melting Pot of Diversity and Ethnic Tolerance this is?!?! Anyhow I digress!


I meant to blog yesterday about this obnoxious loud mouth on the bus I took home after work yesterday. She was OD on the loudness, the extraness, and even put her friend on speaker phone because she was convinced the whole bus wanted to hear her conversation. She also then preceded to pretend like she didn’t have her friends 2 kids (who were on the bus watching the foolishness, poor kids) as her friend freaked out on the other line for about 5 mins just to calm down to ask if Head of Loud Mouthville had a blunt already. SMDH, Snap, A whirl, & a stomp of the feet with that one. Needless to say the dumb@$$ inspired me to poem it out.

Lmfao so I'm chilling at home with my kiddies and my mom just chillaxin' (chilling and relaxing), and I handed my niece a pair of pants my friend and I decorated for our high school homecoming. She proceeded to put on the grey stretch pants with green yellow and white decorations and RC LIONS and the year '05 on the butt. The silly girl pulls the pants up and goes "Woahhhhhh! These are magic booty pants!!! Look it says CO (mirror effect of a blocked 05) which mean Come Look at My Booty!!!!" I have been cracking the hell up since then, and let's not forget the booty poppin' lesson she tried to give myself and my mother.

Seriously, it's funny how girls have perfect jeans or jeans that show off their ASSets the best. I wonder if guys do the mirror stare with a pair of coveted pants that gives the illusion of a large package or a solid build. Lmfao I'm done with the randoms!

P.S. One last Ha Ha Ha for the day: I told my 5 year old nephew that he can't peek out of our front window or door until he learns how to spell the words: window or door. I then heightened my "rules" by saying in fact u can't touch anything in the house that u can't spell first. With his belly poking out, he goes, "Well, I could spell FOOD! F-O-O-D!!!" LMfao I love my kids they keep me young, laughing, and crazy.

On a more semi-serious note, it is  Thanksgiving now (only because it is 1AM) and I feel the need to acknowledge things that I am thankful for.

1. Family & Friends/ Diamond
2. Breathing
3. House to sleep in
4. Amazing Support System
5. Life Lessons Learned (although some may have been hard)
6. Opportunities Available/Seized
7. Toothpaste & Soap (Keeps me fresh & keeps some of the people during my rush hour commute fresh)
8. Jokes & Laughs (Helps Pass Time)
9. My Morals (Keeps me from doing dumb ass shit)
10. Good Food to Eat. . . Fuck it I'm thankful for all my senses!!!!
11. Honesty (Honesty can hurt but you heal over time. Lies just continue to hurt the longer they last

Thankful & Happy,

As I get older, I see myself being invited to more and more baby showers and with every invite I decide to create a diaper cake.

For those of you who are cut off from the World of Baby a diaper cake, is a tiered cake made completely out of diapers. Exciting right!?!?!? I KNOW!!!

Anyway to know me is to know all of me, so welcome to the creative side of MOI!

In this post, you'll see a variety of my diaper cake collection. EAT MY DIAPER CAKE BITCHES!!!! (Lol I couldn't resist!)
