hey all,

A few months ago I was kind of bummed that I did not have enough money to buy tickets for the Kanye West concert.  In Bible study we were recently discussing how God blesses you with things you ask for in the most roundabout ways sometimes.  Well, I just experienced this yesterday, the day of the concert.  Star called me to see if I wanted to go because she can get guest passes from her dad.  Of course I accepted and left work shortly after so that I would not run into traffic in route to Irvine. I had a ball!  This taught me not to be sad or angry when things do not happen immediately.  It was free, and I could not paid for anytning better.  I was vibing in the front with Kanye West makin eye contact for several seconds, several times.  I was telling my mom that he seemed to be enjoying us enjoying him, because he would smile and watch us sing along.  For those of yall who think I'm over exaggerating, I got two words, quit hating! lol  Just pray and watch God work.

peace,

Hey All,

I was just watching the Desperate Housewives E True Hollywood Story and something completely shocked me.  Terri Hatcher was out in Paris one Feburary with her boyfriend and he left her alone on Valentine's Day!! I don't think I could handle this.  I was in Paris a few months ago (i have pics to post) and it is the most beautiful place that one can dream of! Awwwww, in the US, yes but in Paris hell to-the-no as Whitney Houston would say.

thats all,

Gina

I hope everyone is well.

So black people born in the U.S. are refugees? What are we worth?  Its sad that when disasters like hurricane Katrina happen because (i find it ironic that meterorologists named it a "black" name when discovering it would be the most extreme hurricane ever) it brings to light conditions that go ignored in everyday life.  When the tsunami hit, or 9/11 everybody and they mama, especially celebrities were giving money out the anus,but where is everyone now?  Is this event not as important? Will these kids get to go to college for free when it is all said and done if they lost a parent? The expected amount of deaths from Mississippi and Louisiana is 20,000. Will Oprah have a show on these victims, or buy and decorate houses like she does for people who already own big ass houses?  And once again in the media, all the heroes are shown as white.  I was just in the fucking city and the majority (I say about 85%) of the city is black including the cops, but this ratio is not depicted at all in the media. I was just in New Orleans about 2 weeks ago, and I often wonder about the different people of the city who are stuck in my head.  I wonder about the students at Xavier (like my good friend Amanda), Tulane, Southern and other colleges out there.  Will they lose a semester of school? What about the seniors?  A friend of mine drove some fire fighters out there on a tour bus and cried at the sight of dead babies everywhere.  What about kids who cannot find their mommys and daddys? What about those in need od medicine?  Is this real life? Where's the love?

Wassup Ya'll,

Its been so so hot which increases the chances of bitches gettin on my nerves more cuz heat makes u agitated.  I'm ready for change, and I think I am ready!  Whatever life brings, I'm just excited because I just have faith that everything will turn out for the better.  I try to live right, by treating others right and not taking triflin shortcuts in this life.  I'm definetly ready to move back home (this feeling isn't new at all) and work my internship full time.  I love my job.  My boss is the business and she teaches me so much and people respect me just off the strength of working for her cuz she's a hustla with a rep for hard work.  She don't have to, but she always buys me lunch, lets me use her ipod, let's me stay there even when she leaves, lets me use her computer for personal use, etc. Its just little things like that make me feel blessed, because I am.  I'm an intern, so she could treat me like shit, but its not like that at all.  When I get back from my trips we're gonna look into to some jobs where a sista can get paid! I'm excited.  Its amazing that I semi hated my mom for not letting me go to the college of my choice (it specialized in business with an emphasis in the music industry), and resented her for sending me to Irvine, but I ended up right where I always to be. God is amzing, this has been one of the greatest life lesosns ever. For whatever reason, it just wasnt meant for me to go to school down there. I know Irvine was way less cuz the other school was private. I can't wait to have the time of my life in Paris, this has been one of the best summers of my life. Graduating, gifts, graduation party, hanging with fam/friends I havent seen in a long time,internship,and then the trip to London/Paris and Louisiana, I'm truly blessed.  Sometimes I sit back in awe, that so much good stuff happens to me. I guess when you do good, it comes back and you have a good life. Sure I have bad days, but compared to many others its not baaaadddddd!  On another note, I'm starting to question friendships I have with folks.  Plural, yes it could be you.ahahahha. Certain advice people give me is so bitter and full of hate, and i don't want to be naive and think they're not "keeping it real" but I can't help but wonder what their true motives are.  And then others just have their moments where they say something stupid or do things that make me question, "wtf"? I just have to pray on it and ask God to open my eyes to see the bigger picture.  Congratulations Eileen! I'm soo proud of you!

Hey all,

so much has happened since I last updated.  I am in summer session to take my final class at UCI, and I have started my lovely internship at Virgin Records in L.A.  Last Monday and Tuesday I volunteered at the BET awards.(a hookup from Virgin) and I was able to invite some of my friends (star and her two homies from modesto,julian,moses,and my cousin ronny) Our duties were to escort talent (celebrities) to different radio stations to be interviewed. On the first day I had Remy Ma, and on the second day I had the Youngbloodz.  Remy Ma was a sweetheart and the youngbloodz were cool as hell. the youngbloodz and their entourage kept calling me g.mack, ahhahaha how cute. (we had name tags) Pitbull gave me a kiss on the cheek, he is such a gentlemen. Cant mention everyone I saw but the list includes:john legend, alicia keys,mike jones,TI,toni braxton,david banner,boyz n da hood, lil scrappy (who is fine as hell in person, television does him no justice!),trina,lisaraye,faith evans,omarion,bobby v,bow wow,112 looking lovely,etc!  They told us not to bring a camera, so I didnt, on Monday. On tuesday we all brought cameras and had a good time. On tuesday, my cousin and  I were in the bleachers on the 106 and Park taping and luckily Moni taped it so we can see ourselves!  I went to the award show and the official after party where I met my Jadakiss. Muah I have a pic w/him but its on my friend's camera so ill post that along w/ my pic of me and jody breeze of boyz n da hood when i get them.  These pics are from when I volunteered and the ones outside are the ones that came out good from the 106 and park taping. enjoy
