W is for Wordpress.com

As I mentioned in a previous post, I have a new blog.
All my links in my blogroll are links to my favorite blogspot or tumblr blogs & other websites. I want to find worthy blogs on wordpress that I can waste time reading.
If you have any suggestions, let me know! :)

You're seeing, but are you looking?

As much as I find the book "Catcher in the Rye" quite annoying...I found a decent quote.
(Page 189 Chapter 24)

Say what you mean.

"Have you ever wondered about the things we tell ourselves before we fall asleep? We whisper the words in the dark, telling ourselves that we're happy, or that he's happy, that people will change their minds. We persuade ourselves that we can live without the people who have left. Each night before we fall asleep we lie to ourselves in a desperate hope that come morning, it will all be true."

Well, that's embarrassing.

I forgot my password for this blog.
Which sucks even more because my old email address that I had for this account sent everything to my sidekick slide which is no longer activated...& yes that means I can't send my password to me -_-
There's still hope, I can update my blog by sending an email.
So most likely, I'll be blogging from my new blog more often at nicoleguzman.wordpress.com

Happiness is nothing but everyday living seen through a veil.

So i can't believe that i have less than a month of school left...as a junior! Which means after May-give or take a few days-i'll have another month left 'til we're on a plane to Cali. There was also a change in plans, next week i'm not going to Cali for the entire week with my mom to search for a house; instead she'll be going alone while the rest of us stay here. -_-
Oh and starting monday and the following 2 weeks, i'll be smelling like dead cats.Wait, that probably sounds totally horrid!
Don't worry, i'm not going on a cat killing spree so it's not neccessary to put your cat on lockdown. It's because for my anatomy & physiology class, we're starting on our cat dissections. On friday, we got into groups and met our cats, we have a(nameless) female feline. Although i've dissected a cow eyeball and a sheep brain (our class even watched an autopsy) idk if i'm ready to actually dissect a cat.There's something that gnaws at my spine everytime i think about touching it & opening it up. Blehhh.
Anyway, this afternoon i rode my bike around my neighborhood for about 30 mins and once i got home, i noticed a dark tan line where my shorts were.ughh! i don't like getting tan and the fact i tan easily. Other than my silly rant, i enjoyed my bike ride, i actually noticed the distinct pleasant smell of the various flowers, thanks to the breeze that brought it to my attention. The soft breeze cooled me down and i felt so relaxed as i listened to music. lately, i've been feeling content and i feel the sense of excitement wanting to burst out of my soul.



this outfit was what i wore monday which i should've posted that day but didn't because i took a nap instead :P

Cause i'm cooler than a polar bear's toenails, Oooh hell.

btw, the title is a lyric from one of my favorite songs :)
2 cool points if you know it!
Updates: I made a facebook last night! ha (facebook.com/nguzman23) Last Wednesday I had a lovely picnic with my closest friends. On saturday, spent the day at Epcot with my fam/relatives.Then Sunday, spent the day at Universal + Islands of Adventure. Yesterday, went shopping; bought a tank top & sunglasses (wearing the sunglasses in this post) from H&M, bought a romper and a purse at XXI, bought another romper at Urban Outfitters (which i'm wearing in this post) 2 rings from Aldo (also wearing in this post) and stole a tank top from Banana Republic :x
On 4/20-4/27 I'll be in Cali with my mom to search for our new house that we should be moving into by June.
Also, hopefully on June 20 I'll be going to Islands of Adventure to go to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter with a few friends.

Now i'm off to work out, do laundry,finish homework, and then watch Love Games:Bad Girls Need Love Too.

:)








^it was so windy!

Carpe Diem

So its official were moving in June,since I found out... I've been trying to fulfill as many plans as I can that I want to do with my friends. Its disappointing to know that even though I despised this place, I took it for granted. I guess you could say my mood lately has been to "carpe diem"; seize the day.I've learned life is short & mine could end at any second, yet idk why I've become too accustomed to taking things for granted, but I'm trying really hard to change. Living here, there's been lack of spontaneity in my life that I miss and wish I could have more of here before I move,I want to be able to look back & remember the good times I got to spend with my friends during the last months,to also be able to say that those were the greatest moments while living in florida.Oh & I have to mention that lately I feel a bit discouraged when i hear "But your moving" then I realized, those 3 words just give me even more incentive to put in as much effort as I can to do what I want before I move,I'm not letting the fact I'm moving stop me from living my life to the fullest.I'm open to absolutely anything,looking forward to any good surprises,and maybe I'll even find a sweet boy :P I just hope all of you realize to "carpe diem" everyday,starting NOW.

Creepy coincidence.

So our new topic in psychology is forensic psychology and currently on the subject of serial killers.We have to do a research project on one serial killer from my teacher's specific list &
I randomly picked-Henry Lee Lucas.Whom i just found out he was born on August 23,my birthday!dun dun dun. well i assure you i'm not a serial killer. Although i have to mention there were a few other choices i would've chosen, like the acid bath murderer,dr.death,the vampire of sacramento,or the green river killer.
Oh & you might not find this amusing as i did,cause my friend & i seriously laughed for like 5 minutes. So in anatomy we had to fill in this chart about how carbon travels throughout the body & out.For some odd reason instead of reading "Carbon Dioxide goes into the capillaries of alveoli" i said "capillaries of ovaries" then my friend & i started laughing together & then she said "that's what's called a queef!" LOL.
Well i'm off to do homework so i can be done before America's best dance crew starts.
btw,for the ones who watch it, who's your favorite dance crew?
p.s. I bought lemonade mix,and i've discovered that lemonade is especially delicious with honey.

Yeh yeh yehhhh

Song of the day: Hard-Rihanna




I love this blue pleather jacket :) Just bought it this weekend and it's kept me warm during this "cold" weather were having this week. By the way, it was definitely weird coming back to school on tuesday, i shed a few tears in some classes since people asked me why i was missing for so long. I'm so overwhelmed by some of my classmates who barely talk to me but care so much & now they've been talking to me more. Well i hope it's the reason is simply because they're genuine & not just showing sympathy.

Oh & you guys should totally check out this chick, she has amazing photos & overall a lovely blog: painthappy.tumblr.com

RIP Daddy,we love you & miss you.

I know I haven't updated this recently but the reason is because my step-dad passed away on february 4...so I've been too busy to focus on anything else but my family. If you want to know more about it, click the following link & read my story.Oh & I'd appreciate if you vote for my story as well, and if it's isn't too much, I'd be so grateful to you if you spread it; I need as many votes I can get. here is the link-http://tinyurl.com/yfhtm32
I thank you in advance for your understanding & support.
By the way I plan on posting a few outfits next week,hopefully I won't be too swamped with 2 weeks worth of classwork/homework I need to make up :/

p.s. here is a picture of my own personal american flag w/a cool box + awards my step-dad received while he was alive. The picture of the sunset was taken through the window on the day we first visited him in the ICU.

listen to the color of your dreams.

another post over due, realized the other day I need to start posting
more often & stop neglecting my blog....however I doubt anyone or my followers
genuinely care but if you do, i appreciate the love :)
hmm some updates
I'll start with what currently makes me feel happy/amused/entertained.

- Hobo, i remember seeing this the first time in my bestie's room & i was so amazed ha, it's so cute! then we named it hobo. last week i got a package from her & she gave hobo to me as a gift. it's head moves side to side when the sun
hits the solar cells. :)




-My bestie's letter that came with her package last week

- new bob marley poster (another gift from my bestie)
-The Smiths



-The Buried Life (show on mtv,in case you guys didn't know)
-My life as liz (another mtv show)
-Pleather jacket, which I'm wearing in this outfit below. & I just
bought it this weekend & got the chance to wear it today because of the
lovely cool weather. btw, I would never buy a real leather jacket,no
offense to the animal skin wearing lovers. to imagine myself wearing or
owning anything made of some sort of animal & it's skin just makes me
feel like my stomach will implode, I think it's that repulsive.

^i thought it was cool how my shadow was in my (dirty) mirror :P










Oh & i had to read Martin Luther King Jr's letter from birmingham jail
& I found a part that I feel is especially inspiring. here's the
excerpt:
"...Now this approach is being termed extremist. But though I was initially disappointed at being categorized as an extremist, as I continued to think about the matter I gradually gained a measure of satisfaction from the label. Was not Jesus an extremist for love: "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you." Was not Amos an extremist for justice: "Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever flowing stream." Was not Paul an extremist for the Christian gospel: "I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus." Was not Martin Luther an extremist: "Here I stand; I cannot do otherwise, so help me God." And John Bunyan: "I will stay in jail to the end of my days before I make a butchery of my conscience." And Abraham Lincoln: "This nation cannot survive half slave and half free." And Thomas Jefferson: "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal . . ." So the question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be. Will we be extremists for hate or for love? Will we be extremists for the preservation of injustice or for the extension of justice?"

The Legend of Billie Jean

so last weekend i was quite bored and searching the tv for something good to watch and ended up watching an 80's movie called "The Legend of Billie Jean" At first, i thought this movie would correlate to Michael Jackson's song but instead it was basically about a group of kids on the run from the cops. Thought it was cool how the main character Billie Jean went from being the good girl with pretty long hair to rebel & cutting off all her hair. I also really liked that these kids got away with so many things, in this generation they definitely wouldn't get away with what they did ha. Oh & i forgot to mention some characters have country accents, it was kinda hard to tolerate it at first but i got used to it. :P ^i created a new set on polyvore because i was inspired by one of her outfits (picture below)
so simple, yet so chic! t'righhht?yeh i like to add the letter t to random words. oh & the pictures below are shitty quality because i used my cell phone since the batteries for my camera died.

Hello new year

heyy followers, happy new year!
i hope all of you had a good holiday break, and received lots of presents.
i got $70,beatles rock band & lady gaga's the fame monster cd.
oh & btw,i barely went out during winter break,i had too much fun playing beatles rockband & sleeping in...so i had no outfits to post--- but now i can since school started again!
oh & it's finally COLD :D
although it's not below zero like in other nothern states,it's been in the low 50s most of the week & i'm satisfied. i'm glad nature finally realized that it needed to compensate for the lack of "fall/winter weather" during october, november & december. OH & even more exciting the weather lady said that "snow flurries" might fall from the sky tomorrow morning. think i'll have to wake up around 6...but it will definitely be worth it. if i don't see anything fall from the sky, i just might have to find that weather lady & throw a bucket of ice at her...jk?!
anyway, i also thought i'd mention that i really want to see Youth in Revolt tonight but since it's Rated R & i'm under-aged i can't...*sighh* well if anyone that actually reads this & will or has seen that movie, let me know what you thought of it. k beans, thanks. another update:
i got a haircut, having short hair is a refreshing change, although i still miss my long hair.

here are a few photos i took once the clock turned 12 & it was finally January 1 2010.
