What's that I'm Tasting?

I have encountered funny tasting fruit. I always ask my mother to pack a fruit in my lunch (yes, my mom still packs my lunch for school- don't judge, be jealous). At lunch time, when I take a bite into my health snack, I cant help but kringe after every bite....my apple has a funky after taste? Has it gone bad?

Because I hate wasting food, I keep chomping away wondering what this mystery flavour is, but I just couldn't put my finger on it.  By the end of the day I forget about this initial inquiry until I am faced with it again the next day at lunch time.... As such, this has been going on for a while now and I have no sherlock in me to figure it out.... until one day on my search for fruit in the kitchen, I found apples.......in the kimchi fridge.

That funky after taste? Garlic. That mystery flavour? Fermented cabbage. Awesome. Mystery solved.

Dear umma, please stop putting the fruit in the kimchi fridge because all my applies taste like kimchi.

How jenni needs her groove back.

I've lost my nerd. I have misplaced the keener in me and am in dire need to "get my groove back." Unfortunately, I wont be able to take any pointers from Stella (except for the fact that a trip to Jamaica would be fantastic right about now) because I doubt a romantic love affair with a person half my age would do me any good (especially at my age, I'm pretty sure that's just WRONG and ILLEGAL- although I wouldn't mind getting a little mixed up with Taye Diggs)... nor would added distraction contribute to a healthy academia.

So instead, I procrastinate and stress about how stupid I am for procrastinating and then I allow the guilt to creep up because I know I should be trying harder because I know I can....I'm smarter than that, I think.  BUT! I let the exhausted, burnt out, lazy student in me take over because I am lacking academic stimulation, the root of my motivation, hard work and learning. Apparently my brain went on strike and the nerd and keener are picketing for better learning conditions... interest, passion,motivation, time management, less caffeine and more sleep!

This is going to be a long 3 months :(

s.o.s

I am shipwrecked, and have been washed ashore.

The island is deserted, the island is quiet.
I am alone, left to my own devices.
I am allowed to be selfish, I am allowed to be ignorant.

The island is pleasant, the island is refreshing.
I am comfortable, left to my own narcissism.
I am not judged, I am not guilty.

The island is blinding, the island is dark.
I am careless, left to my own direction.
I am distracted, I am lost.

The island is lonely, the island is empty.
I am exhausted, left to my own defeat.
I am despareate, I am reaching.

I am shipwrecked, and now seek resue.

...Changing who I've been to who I need to be

right?!

and!!
Both John Smith & Jake Sully
were good looking fellows!  
AGREED.

I've got a feeling...

2010 is going to be a good year. 

Many things in my life are changing and will only continue to change into the new year, and for the better. Recently, I've put on a new lens, a new perspective, a REFRESHING outlook of life:

Live it up, no regrets &

never leave yourself wondering 

"what if?" 

There are too many opprotunities out there to stay comfortable, to settle and to never take chances... So the way I see it, Dive in, take risks, seek challenges & new grounds.... embrace it, conquer it, gain new experiences and learn from every minute of it.

Bringing jenni version 2.0!   

 NEW [but not necessarily improved]

So do what you have to do and don't make it anybody's business....
because "wtfc?" (that one's for you karen)

... oh ya, i'm definiately feeling this.

Blogging initiation Complete

Apparently I'm supposed to have something interesting to say, something that's inspirational. Apparently "good blogs" are those that are funny, yet well articulated AND are written effortlessly[?]

But in REALITY, I'm not that fancy, nor can I pretend to be.... (C'mon my english teacher told me that I have poor writing skills) So I'm going to keep it simple, keep it real ....

As such,I'll start it off with a  

WUDDUP FRIENDS, 
im excited to get back into the world of blogging; sharing useless information with you

and my thought for the day:

 "one should really stop eating when
buttons from their shirt pops off"

... but you know, I'm just sayin'
