Casa de mis Padres

My internet gave out tonight. I’m not sure what happened, as it was working fine earlier this evening. It worked out pretty well though, as I really needed to get to work on sorting through my stuff before I move at the end of the month. I’ve gone through too many moves in the past [...]

Redirection

I think I may have been taking this blog thing too seriously. I think I’ll try just journaling a bit. Granted, my life is less than exciting right now, so I’ll probably have to toss in some commentaries and reviews, just to exercise my fingers and brain. My supervisor finally changed my job duties up [...]

My hero

Okay, I’m ready to get some of my feelings out. One of my co-workers asked me earlier today if I was close to my Grandpa. I replied, “That depends on what you’d consider close.” I had a very special relationship with him. Frank Paduganan Sr. was a quiet man. I considered him the strong, silent [...]

High schoolers make me sleepy

Tonight was initiation night for all of the eighth graders who will be joining our church high school group this next school year. It was a ton of fun, but I’m pooped. As is tradition, we kidnapped them (only one got tied up) and brought them back to the church. Then, they all got dressed [...]

Energy Redirection

I found some very dear people to me on Facebook yesterday…my Grandpa and several cousins from Oklahoma that I only get to see once every few years. I’m really excited about it, because I’ve been on Facebook a lot lately, and now I’ll be able to keep in touch with my family as well as [...]

the birthday is over…

Today was a great day…I was woken up by the neighbor’s dog at seven AM. Not the best way to start off a day when you don’t have to be at work. It got much better from there, though. I had lunch with some friends, and then got stuck in traffic on the way home. [...]

I <3 Summer

Summer is back in California, and this year I’m planning on enjoying it. It isn’t quite the same as summer vacation from school, but I’m pretty excited about it nonetheless. I must admit that it’s difficult to sit in my cubicle without gazing out the window (yes, I’m blessed enough to have a window seat) [...]

Hope deferred…

I’ve been struggling with loneliness for quite some time. I have to take responsibility for a large part of that, as I haven’t pursued relationships as I should. The closest friends that I’ve had over the past two years have all moved out of state, are married, or aren’t able to hang out very often. [...]

Minor Setbacks

Myspace just ruined my day.  I purposefully don’t login very often, but this wasn’t the same old myspace bummer.  I got a friend request from an old high school friend (which was awesome…she’s married with kids and looks to be doing very well), which led me to check out my high school alumni site.  It [...]

The Results are In!

Zack Hensley posted his results from a MBTI on his blog, and inspired me to follow suit. It’s not the first time I’ve taken it, but I never remember what my previous results were. Ask Emily Lester, she never forgets. According to this test… I am an INFP (Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving) Idealistic, loyal to [...]
