Peace Love & Ru

Your top 3 bands:

Hmm I don’t listen to bands really…but I used to LOVE 1. N’Sync and B2k (who didn’t) and I will always love Boys 2 Men….Are all these considered bands? *kanye shrug*

Your thoughts on Harry Potter:

I have no time for Harry Potter…

talk about your pets, or the pets you would like to have:

Never really had any pets because most of my life I hated animals, I’m just now starting to tolerate them. I would possibly get a dog in the future if it stayed small and never shed…other than that I would like to have a gigantic water tank with lots of fish…and not goldfish…exotic ones.

Whenever I don’t give myself enough credit my friends say “you’re such a negative nancy”, or I’m pessimistic, or I have low self esteem, but if I gas myself up people wanna say I’m cocky, I’m ‘somethin else’, or ask who do I think I am?

I can’t win and I don’t care! I can feel however I want, whenever I want. I’m a realist; usually I’m positive but sometimes there’s just no point, and I really don’t need to explain myself… in the words of Drake: “I don’t feel yall but I feel myself” :) .

So tonight, after a really fun night with my friend, I’m driving home in my (week old) car and I’m literally 10mins away from home when my car starts making weird noises and shaking…I really thought it was gonna blow up. I make a turn and pull over and a cutie driving behind me drives by and lets me know that my car is “messed up, and the tire is not even on the rim anymore”…I had NO idea what was going on, but I assumed this is what catching a flat meant. So I call my dad freaking out and while I’m waiting for him I see a truck do a u-turn and pull up behind me and a woman comes out and asks if I’m ok. I tell her I am and my dad is coming. Her husband then comes out and asks if I have a spare because in that case he’d be “more than willing to change it”, and if I didn’t have one, they’re going to wait with me until my dad comes (HOW SWEET). I did have a spare so the man ended up changing my tire for me (mind you its pretty cold out) and by the time my dad got there I was all good!

Good people really do exist…

Favorite meme at the moment:

Ok so I know what a meme is but I can’t think of one I like right now… -___- I guess I’ll tell yall my favorite word at the moment…G I M P! …this is a word my friends in Denver made up and I love it. You use gimp to describe a person in a negative light…annoying, stupid, obnoxious, etc.

FORGIVE but don’t forget…

Since the new year I’ve definitely mended a few relationships with people that have done me wrong in the past; this is not to say that we are all of a sudden best friends and I have forgotten our history but it definitely has lifted a burden off of my shoulders. By not forgiving, and by holding grudges, we only make it more difficult on ourselves: it takes a lot more energy to hate someone than to love them. SO with that being said, try to be a little forgiving here and there…that doesn’t mean you have to invite the person back into your life but be cordial, be understanding, talk it out…you’ll feel better after wards, i promise.

How you came across tumblr, and how your life has changed since joining:

I came across tumblr because my friend @lpharvin was flooding my timeline with his posts so I checked it out..thought it was kinda wack. Then over winter break I was bored one day and made one and now im OBSESSED & flooding everyone else’s timeline. Its changed my life because it takes up more of my time lol…I love being able to “vent” on here though whether via photos or text and its cool to see everyone else’s way of venting as well.

Are you a fitness guru or a couch potato? talk about your exercise habits:

Bahah DEFF not a fitness GURU buuut I work out 5-6 days a week; I have a love/hate relationship with the gym though: I hate it when I’m there but love the feeling after…and the results :) .

Your favorite season, and why:

S U M M E R !! No question about it!

I loooove the beach, I love being tan, I love the sun, ice cream, bathing suits, seeing everyone out on the streets, summer dresses, sandals, pools…basically everything about summer I love. I’d be happy with summer all year round.

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

                                                                                            Jeremiah 29:11

Its funny how we get so caught up in trying to plan everything out down to the last detail (ESPECIALLY me), but really God has it all figured out! He has a plan, and its to benefit us…plans to prosper us! Soooo we need to let go of the things that burden us and just rest in God & trust that He has it under control.

Tell us your 3 favorite colors:

1. Black: matches everything, slimming, classy

2. Pink(s): my nails are always pink, I’m a girly girl and I like having pink accessories around the house (not to wear)

3. Turquoise: Lately I’ve been buying/wearing a lot of this color, it’s just a pretty & fun color but not too loud

Write about your closest friend(s) :

That’s easy: Drew & Rekik…because they’re fellow Ethiopians :)

No, because they know me better than I know myself, make me a better person, make me laugh, love me WAY more than I deserve, and basically complete me.I adore them….everyone deserves friends like these 2…I got lucky :)

… And nobody’s gonna bring me down today
Been feeling like nothings been going my way lately
But I decided right here and now that my outlooks gonna change

That’s why I’m gonna
Say goodbye to all the tears I’ve cried
And every time somebody hurt my pride
Feeling like they won’t let me live life
And take the time to look at what is mine
I see every blessing so clearly
And I thank God for what I got from above

I believe they can take anything from me
But they can’t succeed in taking my inner peace from me
They can say all they wanna say about me
But I’m gonna carry on
I’m gon keep on… singing my song
