Taurid Meteor Shower

Posted in by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
Finally my shooting star has arrived!!!! I'm excited. The Taurid Meteor Shower started on the 4th of November, it's going to continue throughout the week and it is going to be intense around midnight tonight. I'll make sure to look up this time and finally, hopefully get to see the show of flying stars that I've been longing to see since June 2008. I hope GOD grants me this wish. Thank you to V for informing me.

Everyone that "knows" me, knows how infatuated I am with the sky and all of its counterparts. Maybe I'm an alien from Mars, somewhere in the galaxy. It amazes me each and every time, it's like they speak to me through its own language. The sky delivers me peace of mind and serenity, it's attached to me like a baby is to its mother. It's a part of me, I love it.

Can't wait to see my star!

Being Human...How Exhausting

Posted in by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
Feelings, I hate them, why don't they just leave me alone? They're like some type of conscience, reminding me of all that I "should" do. Is the mind or should I say the heart that guides you to your fate and destiny?

I just want to be left alone, but I cannot run from myself.IMPOSSIBLE, one of the only things that is not possible is that. They would not leave me alone 'til I have confronted all this "junk" that's stimulating my insides. GOD, why?

I have no energy left, I think I'm going to go crazy. Just lock me up in a mental illness home or something, there's just so much I can take. I DON'T HAVE ANYMORE ENERGY! It's taking over me!! Should I allow it? Is it in my destiny?

It gets lonely, I am lonely yet again all this going on inside of me won't leave me alone. Oh the irony. Nobody understands, I don't think anyone would ever understand what and how you feel, but yourself. Life is lonely, I am a loner in my thoughts,in many aspects, always was, always will.

Life, does it get any easier? It takes the STRONG to deal with this journey.Even though it has been hard, I am remaining a part of that category.

Screw this, I'm not the type to blurt out my feelings detail by detail for the whole world to read. That's not my style, I keep things to myself, maybe that's a problem. Pride and fear have much to do with it, I suppose.I just don't know what to do anymore. Shall I face it? Do I have a choice!?

I have tried, but it seems that I have not tried hard enough. "I am going to FIGHT and do all that it takes to face this" is what, in reality, I want to do, but I do not know if that is what is best to do. A moment of clarity is needed, this "confusion" is drowning my sea of joy.

Is it my fault? Is it destiny? What should be done? I'll continue on this journey of more clarity and thinking. Oh, the pain. Someone once told me, "There's power in prayer", I'll continue praying.

Rhythm Divine

Posted in by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
My rhymes rhyme and in do time
my mind presses rewind..stop;
in the middle of a line,
I press pause to hear

the audiences' applause.

Pardon me for there are no excuses,
'scuse me.. When I'm out;
up in the air
go the dueces.

Are you tryna kill me with these rhymes?
All these words sounding so divine.
I just wanna fly away and get up outta here.
this world so cold and dreary,

what a bore to destroy,
yet it's an adore we've conformed,

in this world, we'll be on board,
forever till we have escaped this stupid door.

Oh Lord, take away this sore.
I don't wanna be here anymore.

Forever and more, from me to you,
words galore
pouring out these super pores

Sky High

Posted in , , , , , , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit


Helpless cries have caused my heart to reply,
Like a magnet, the constellations in the sky,
Sky high is where my heart resides.

Sky high is what it feels,
Down low is where the fear,
Shattered, drenched in tears,
It's clear, it's when you know,
death, death is near.

Rescue me, rescue me, it's cold.
Take me away from this buried soul,
it seems to not be here,
Rock bottom.

Why Oh Why?

Posted in , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit

Why oh why is this happening to me
My eyes can't see what my heart is meant to be
I feel like an emotional wreck,
Oh I'm such a beautiful queen.

Why oh why can't you see?
Can't you feel the cries thy heaven has heard from me
My soul is drowning,
it simply cannot be,
one without its other,
it doesn't feel right, it's my dream.

I love you, in love,
Forever thee. Come back to me,
Oh why oh why are you doing this to me?
Is this fate? Why is fate hurting me?
Is it reality that has opened my eyes,
now they see.
They see, finally they see,
What my heart has been running from,
From reality.
I cannot be without your plea,
I can hear your heart crying its eyes out for thee.

Why oh why?
This stupid sickening machine,
Let this love machine and all our chemistry,
Let our hearts, our skin speak out,
Reach out to me,
The stars are waiting, waiting,
Please don't be scared of me.

This Sickening Machine

Posted in , , , , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit



You are my soul, my love in a circle, my love in a low
the devil in a hole,

Speak to me, breathe me, digg me from this machine

See, there's this bullshit called Love.

You know what it does? It kills people, like you and me
This extra emotional machine.

Fuck this machine, let's fuck this machine,
Let's find the backdoor to this drowsy sickening memory.

It Is What It Is

Posted in , , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
Don't you just wish people were more honest and stop their bullshitting? It's sooo unbearable, my goodness! Why are people so afraid to keep it real? It's like a disease that everyone has. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE BEANS, it's not the way to live. People such as family, friends, lovers, co-workers, everyone should just save their BS for someone who believes in it. Like I said, "if you are a bullshitter and can't keep it a billion, I do not feel bad for you", and I don't care who you are. I shall and won't stress myself over human individuals that can't just be honest, like I give a fuck. All I love and appreciate is honesty, no matter how much it hurts, but there is a difference between saying the truth without any emotion and saying it taking into consideration of the other person's feelings . In other words, say the truth as kindly as possible without being harsh and cynical because people have feelings, but always say the truth no matter what. So many people are afraid of saying what's real, you gotta roll with the punches. This is life. That's just how it is, understand? Bullshitters are cowards, they should all have their profession as a psychologist, bullshitting and manipulating the mind like a puppet. Stressing over people that aren't worthy? Stress kills! No thanks, I'll pass.

Alma Perdida

Posted in by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
Alma mia, adonde estas? Adonde te fuistes?
Porque me dejastes sola?
Me siento incompleta,
me siento sin motivo, sin sentido.
Muy triste estoy.

Siento un vacio en el centro de mi ser,
siento como si no fuera un ser humano,
Me siento como un monstro:
Sin dolor, sin nada por dentro.
Me robaron a ti, mi mundo.
Tu eres mi mundo.
Ahora sin ti, me siento nada.

Pero a la misma vez, siento muchas cosas.
Siento dolor, siento remordimientos, siento rencor,
siento que me arrancaron mi sentido de sentir, de vivir.
Estoy perdida, perdida en el espacio.
Estoy gritando: ayuda, ayuda!

Me estoy ahogando, siento que estoy borrandome,
poco a poco,
NO EXISTO. MUERTA EN VIDA ES LO QUE SIENTO.

Mi Alma Perdida, regresas a mi!
Alma perdida, no soy nada sin ti.

Shipwrecked

Posted in , , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
Lost, stuck, flabbergasted, dumbfounded, bamboozled can't even begin to describe the happenings that are surrounding my inner life, it simmers itself free, demonstrating its colors on my outer layer. Anxious, I feel. Lost, in a manner, that creates this power of frustration, of confusion. Asphyxiation, smotherness, suffocation, constricted, stunted.

Desiderata

Posted in , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. Max Ehrman (c) Max Ehrman 1926

The Moment

Posted in , , , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
Today we have higher buildings and wider highways, but shorter temperaments and narrower points of view. We spend more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses, but smaller families. We have more compromises, but less time. We have more knowledge, but less judgment. We have more medicines, but less health. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk much, we love only a little, and we hate too much. We reached the moon and came back, but we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors. We have conquered the outer space, but not our inner space. We have higher income, but less morals… These are times with more liberty, but less joy… With much more food, but less nutrition…These are days in which two salaries come home, but divorces increase. These are times of finer houses, but more broken homes. That's why I propose that as of today -- You do not keep anything for a special occasion, because every day that you live is a special occasion. Search for knowledge, read more, sit on your front porch and admire the view without paying attention to the needs. Pass more time with your family, eat your favorite food, visit the place you love. Life is a chain of moments of enjoyment; it isn't only survival. Use your crystal goblets. Do not save your best perfume… use it every time you feel you want it. Take out from your vocabulary phrases like, "one of these days" and "someday". Let's write that letter we thought of writing "one of these days…"Let's tell our families and friends how much we love them. Never pass up a chance at adding laughter and joy to your life. Every day, hour, and minute are special… Because you never know if it will be your last…If you're too busy to take some minutes to share this message with someone you love, and you tell yourself that you will share it "one of these days"… "one of these days" can be very far away, and you may not be there to see it…

Hardships of Love

Posted in , , , , , , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
Many people might think, you're dumb for staying with him/her, why are you putting yourself through that? Don't be a punk, blah blah blah. Have you ever thought why and how couples that stay together for 30 years, 50 years, 60 years? Because they have been through it all together, through thick and thin, and every obstacle that have presented itself. Forgiveness, effort, and understanding are key. Love doesn't suck, people suck. People cause love to stink. Love is beautiful! Love requires much patience and forgiveness and strength. Love is everything, it has everything you can possibly think of. Soulmates aren't perfect, nobody is. Be prepared for the Hardships of Love, the package that comes along with it. It gets bumpy, but it's all worth it when you have your soulmate by your side. It has to work, you got to make it work. When is enough enough? NEVER, not when it comes to your other soul. Be ready.

Life Downhill

Posted in , , , , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
Today has been a very emotionless, plain, gloomy day for me. The weather hasn't been cooperating, which hasn't been of great help to how I've been feeling. One thing I do know is that I'm happy to be alive, everything happens for a reason. I wish everything, every aspect of my life were different. I'll be happier. I feel like everything has gone downhill and that it isn't getting any better. When is GOD going to give me a break? I haven't received one.

Crying

Posted in , , , , , , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
Crying soothes my soul. It reminds me that I am human and that I have feelings. I hurt. I suffer. The anger I feel, the frustration I feel, the love I feel, the hatred I feel, the pain I feel all has accumulated into a sea of sorrow deep inside of me, bringing tears to the windows of my soul: my eyes.

Crying is what I am feeling right now. .

Life and Love

Posted in , , , , , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
Love is bothering me because you have to deal with a lot of bullshit. Love is filled with everything, love is filled even with the things that you don't like. Love, it is filled with lies, it is filled with hurt, it is filled with beauty. It is filled with everything you can imagine. We have to prepare ourselves for love: we are prepared for it and simultaneously we are not. Human individuals are too immature for love due to so many aspects of life being automatically involved such as feelings, thoughts, and emotions. It is inevitable because nothing is perfect. Sometimes I wish love were perfect, sometimes I wish life was perfect. Love is a beautiful thing, a beautiful gift, but it hurts sooo much. It makes people not want to get involved with it. Either way, we as the human individuals that we are, seek love. Love is life, love is part of life. I hate it, I hate it!

Washful Tears

In tears. I can't contain my feelings especially not my heart.

Suffering in Silence

My heart is hurt, my heart is crying, my heart is breaking apart.

I Don't Get It. .

Oh Lord, what did I do to deserve all this crap I'm going through? I don't feel well, my heart is hurting, please stay with me. Guide me towards the right direction. I wish I can disappear and be alone in peace. Thank you for making me such a strong person, thank you for blessing me with the knowledge, wisdom, and understanding of why life is the way it is. Thank you for the gift of understanding you have given me, therefore allowing me the strength to understand why people do the things they do and the things they say. God, life is very ironic.

The Feeling of Vexation

Posted in , , , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
Annoyance, vexation, bothered: I hate this feeling. It's one of the worse feelings I have to experienced. Feeling bothered, feeling annoyed, having that "Leave me alone, I don't care" feeling makes me want to get away from everyone and have that sense of peace and quiet. It's just one of those days when you want to be alone and not talk to anyone. Just breathing. . .

Be Free

Posted in , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
Going with the flow is the way to live. There is a difference between going with the flow and loving love versus going with the flow and being passive and lazy. Going with the flow & appreciating life and the beauty in little things is the way to live. Modesty and humbleness. Sweetness and kindness as well as fighting for your beliefs and believing in your dreams. Appreciating life with a strong attitude. Rolling with the punches and appreciating life for how it is, is how I view life. There isn't time for crap and being upset|sad|angry or whatever the case may be. That's my attitude, but sometimes I get caught up and blinded with the "obstacles" and situations life throws at me that I sometimes forget to just be happy that I am alive and well. I could be in worst dilemmas in my life like many people in this world. There is beauty in everything! My boyfriend is a beautiful inspiration in my life, he has reminded me to just be happy no matter how difficult or harsh live may be. That's me, it's my motto, my attitude, I forget. He's right! He reminds me of happiness, he is my happiness. Time is precious. There's no time to waste on being upset with a miserable demeanor. I sit and think and realize wow this is not me at all, why am I acting this way? Why am I feeling unhappy? I am not feeling happy with some aspects of my life, but I am happy that I have a family, a home, beautiful friends, amazing partner. These are the things that make life worthwhile. If I'm not feeling happy, I have to and I am going to do something about it. Don't get me wrong, I try and try and try and not see rewards or results, but I AM NOT GOING TO GIVE UP! Never! Freedom and beauty is a gift from God. We're here because of him. Everything happens for a reason. Being free is so beautiful, feeling relaxed, feeling serene, feeling celestial at peace is one of the many great gifts God has given us. A glimpse of heaven is to be free. Liberating! Life is beautiful, life is temporary, we're only here for a little while. Make the best of it. Love life and make wise decisions. Think with your ♡, feel with your ♡. I am going to be a successful person, I have lots of love and passion in my fiery soul! I know that I'll be where I wanna be very soon and I cannot wait for that day! BE FREE, don't forget to be happy today. Be happy to be here today and that you're alive and well. Be thankful for all that's around you and all that you have. Imagine, some people wish to possess the things you and I have. Sadly, most of us don't appreciate the things we cherish until they are gone. Don't allow it to be that way, always enjoy the present. Always. Are you happy today? Ask yourselves. Xoxo <3

Peculiar Life Is..

Posted in by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
Sometimes I don't get life and how it functions. Well, actually I do know how it works, it's just so complicated. That's the word. If you think about it, it's not as complicated as it seems, it fact, it's as simple as 1, 2, 3. Sometimes I don't know what to think of it or what to say in certain scenarios. You try and try your best, but somehow you don't succeed and your ideas don't go as planned. Life is weird, life is strange, life is complex, life is challenging!

R.I.P. Michael Jackson: The Legend

Posted in , , , , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
The King of Pop August 25, 1958-June 25, 2009 The King of Pop dies at 50 years old! I couldn't believe what I had heard, he was such an amazing INSPIRATION to all of us! Not to sound cliche, I felt really sad and down about it. I was hanging out in Soho with some friends and a girl asked us if it was true if Michael Jackson had died, that's how I found out about his tragic death. At first, I thought it was a hoax, but then I thought this cannot be a joke, nobody would play a joke like that. I cried. He was a great man, as far as his music goes. Throughout his whole career, the media and people kept on bashing him and calling him weird. Like let the man live, he was a very private, introvert man, what's wrong with that? And now that he has passed away, everyone wants to listen to his records and say nice things. People are still bashing him now, let the man rest in peace. Is no wonder that he might have been addicted to prescription medicine, he had a rough childhood, not that thats an excuse for him to act the way he did. He wasn't different, he just did things in a different style than the "norm" way that others would, so because he did things differently, he was called weird? Give me a break! I thought uniqueness and individuality was a good thing. This is why he perhaps escaped from the criticism and judgmental world in his privacy, his Neverland ranch, and whatever else he used as an escape. So sad that he wasn't understood, that is all he wanted, to be understood!! It's like you're screaming but nobody hears you! It's a cruel, cruel world out there, it takes a toll on people especially when you are alone and have no one supporting you. Everyone wants to be understood! Is that so much to ask? Poor Michael! How would you feel if no one understood you as a person and your perspective? The media was trying to bash him and tried to make him look like a psycho child molester. HATERS!! So much envy and hate in wanting to bring Michael down because he wasn't conforming to society and how they think people are suppose to be like. So wrong. He was and will always be a great man, THE LEGEND that he is. His music is beyond wonderful! Love you Mike. Regardless of it all, I still like Michael! Michael is one of my favorite names. A List of Records I Like (in random order): -Beat It -You Rock My World -Dirty Diana -Thriller -Bad -Smooth Criminal -Billie Jean -Heal The World -Will You Be There? -You Are Not Alone (My Fav) amongst others.... REST IN PEACE MICHAEL!

What is LOVE?

Posted in , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
Love is my favorite topic to speak and write about. It's universal and beautiful! My absolute most preferred quote about love is from the Bible, it goes like this: "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I though like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but poor refelection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love" ~1 Corinthians 13:4-13 Love makes the world go 'round. It is a beautiful, surreal feeling that nobody is quite ready to face in life, but it is something we all yearn for and it is something we all desire to have to completely satisfy our happiness to its fullest potential. Love is a gift from GOD. I never knew I could be so happy, I never knew I'd be so secure and so in love because of his love, life has a brand new meaning. It's gonna be a brighter day. I love how weird me and him are. I may complain at timea and think, but that's us, it's life. I'M YOUR EVERYTHING, YOU'RE MY EVERYTHING! When two people love each other, they are each other everything, no matter what! Ride or die 'till the end of time. We get each other, we are different yet similar at the same time. We compliment each other very well. Nobody understands, i LOVE us. Anthony Damiani and Rafaelina Siri One of my quotes is: "I will serenade you, take you to the depths of my soul, show you what is real" ~Rafaelina Siri I'm glad that I have geniune feelings and that I feel, reminds me that I am human. Love is such a magical feeling, the best feeling a human being could ever experience. It makes the world a better place, it makes people greater, filled with happiness. I love being in love and being loved in return by the greatest person I know, Our love is oure and sincere, He's my soulmate, the man I am going to spend the rest of my life with. That is something I know for sure, as he too knows. GOD has blessed me with his love and companionship, we love one other! And this is something that will never, ever change. Love is endless, love is GOD, love can't be described. It's an immense feeling you feel for someone else! I thank GOD everyday for creating this beauty. I am a true hopeless romantic. Love keeps me going as the days go by, my ultimate inspiration. He is my ultimate inspiration, when you know that someone is meant for you, you'll know!!! There are times I still can't believe I have found someone worthwhile, my soulmate. It's so magical and surreal. I remember when I would always pray to God about love. As a child, I would always wonder where my soulmate lived. California? Japan? I would always wonder what he was up to and who he was. Strangely, I was never the kind of little girl to plan her wedding and her children's names. I never sat down and planned it. Of course, I thought of it, but it never occurred to me. I have been hurt by love, just like everyone else, heck I almost gave up on it. There were times when I even thought that love wasn't meant or made for me, as much as I tried to make myself believe that, I just couldn't. For I knew that it was going to find me. LOVE FINDS YOU UNEXPECTEDLY, EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T WANT IT TO FIND YOU.

The Best Candy, SNICKERS!

Posted in , , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
I am in LOVE with Snickers! It is truly the best candy in the world. It's taste is amazing, makes you just wanna devour that thing. I have not tasted this great thing in a pretty long time, I kinda miss it. Sorry Snickers, but I am eating very healthy and moderately now. Taste you soon! P.S. You'll be a GREAT surprise and random gift, if you were accompanied with a beautiful set of a dozen PINK roses!

Heartbroken Hearts & Blabbing 101

Posted in , , , , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
Having your heart broken and messed with is not one of the best feelings in the world. It hurts so much, it is something that every human being has to experience in this lifetime. I had to go through this heartache, you had to go through it, and so will everyone else. It is inevitable. Sometimes, it even makes you want to stop believing in love, perhaps it even makes you want to wish that it didn't exist, but without love there is no life. There are different kinds of love: love for a friend, love for a family member, love for a neighbor, love for life, love for an object. The primary kind of love that us human individuals emphasis our existence on is: ROMANTIC LOVE WITH THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE. Isn't that the best kind of love? I have a few girlfriends who are experiencing heartbreak at the moment. It affects me seeing them this way and in a sense it makes me angry because I have experienced this When your heart is broken, all you can think about is how crappy and hurt you feel, speaking about it as much as you can to your friends, seeking advice(hence the added word blabbing in the title). Love hurts, love is pain, love is beautiful, love is everything, love is something we all look for, whether we intentionally are or not. My girlfriends ask me for advice and I give it to them, I'm pretty good with giving advice. I give them my realistic and sensitive comapassionate advice, but then again they sometimes don't take my advice into consideration. It's like why even bother asking for it, if you're going to listen to me. The real reason is because they do not wanna accept reality! Of course, they don't, they're hurt! Love is heaven, this tingly butterfly effect you feel inside. It feels wonderful! This feeling is motivating, this feeling is inspiring, this feeling is unexplainable. I'll continue writing about love in my next blog. If they're not gonna listen to me, stop BLABBING! My ears hurt from all the blabbing and repetition of the same exact thing. It vexs the living crap out of me, it seriously frustrates me more than this recession we currently are dealing with. If they're not gonna listen to me, get a journal or better yet a blog! Like this one, it really works wonders for the soul.

I Love...

Posted in , , , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
The song "Fix You" by Coldplay! (besides my awesome boyfriend, he's another amazing story =)),from their X and Y album. The instrumental is more than amazing, I don't get tired of it. It's almost as if it's some sort of remedy for my sanity. It brings peace and harmony, amongst other favorite songs that I adore <3. "When you try your best but you don't succeed, when you get what you want, but not what you need, when you feel so tired but you can't sleep, stuck in reverse. And the tears come streaming down your face, when you leave something you can replace, when you love someone but it goes to waste, could it be worse? Lights will guide you home, and ignite your bones and I will try to fix you. And high up above or down below, when you're too in love to let it go but if you never try you'll never know just what you're worth"

Only You...

Posted in , , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
A lot of people know the surface side of me, the side they see while I'm working or just going through the day... But there's another side of me - an inside - that people never see. It's a part that's full of a thousand thoughts; a part that embraces love and cherishes friendship, a part that understands without need for words, a part that has yearnings and desires and prayers. The inside of me has so many moods that the outside never shows. For once in my life, though . . . I trust someone implicitly and I care about someone in a totally understand way. I feel like it's okay to let that someone in, to let them see me emotionally and physically as naturally and as naked as I can be. I have given myself to you and told you things that I've never told another soul . . . You are the one person who has seen me trembling and as fearful as an injured bird; you are the one person I always want to take with me when I feel exhilarated and my spirits are soaring. I trust you with my secrets, and you know that you can trust me with yours. This sharing . . .this special sharing . . . is one of the nicest dimensions my life has ever known.

A Special Chance

Posted in , , , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
You and I took a special chance the first time we met... we both knew enough of love, and life, to understand that two people don't fall in love, they grow into it, slowly - and we'd both been hurt before by feelings that seemed too easily lost... but there was something between us from the beginning, a unique harmony that made us take that special chance... You and I took a special chance the first time we argued... after feeling hurt and sad, and both of us trying to apologize and the same time for disagreeing over such a small matter, we knew that our relationship was worth more... than anything that might come between us, and we knew that after that first time that what we had together would see us through the hard times and make us better appreciate the good, because we took that special chance... You and I took a special chance the first time we said, "I love you"... for we knew that we would share stormy as well as sunny times, laughter and tears, some dreams that would come beautifully true, and others that would fade in our memories - and we knew in our hearts that our love deserved all the effort we could make to fulfill our life together... for we took that special chance... and found a very special love.

Something To Share With The Ladies...

Posted in , , , , , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay. Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior. Allow your intuition or spirit to save you from heartache. Stop trying to change yourselves for a relationship that's not meant to be. Slower is better. Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy. If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then hell no, you can't "be friends." A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend. Don't settle. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is. Don't stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better (try three). The only person you can control in a relationship is you. Always have your own set of friends separate from his. Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers you, speak up. Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later. You cannot change a man's behavior. Change comes from within. Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are. He is a man, nothing more nothing less. Never let a man define who you are. NEVER BORROW SOMEONE ELSE'S MAN. If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you. A man will only treat you the way you allow him to treat you. All men are not dogs. You should not be the one doing all the bending...compromise is two way street. You need time to heal between relationships...there is nothing cute about baggage... deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship. You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you... a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals... look for someone complimentary...not supplementary. Dating is fun... even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right. Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always know where you are, and your always readily available to him- he takes it for granted. Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need. Keep him in your radar but get to know others. Share this with other ladies..... You'll make someone smile, another rethink her choices, and another woman prepare. They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them and an entire lifetime to forget them.

This Past Weekend...May30th & May 31st.

I was having an okay morning on Friday, May 30th. It was raining and I hadn't gone to sleep at all. I decided not to go to sleep because it was one of my best friend Sheila's graduation. It was great, I felt proud!! I was up till about 5am and so I decided to stay up because I knew that I was not going to wake up at 9 in the morning. I didn't wanna miss her graduation. So, I took a bath, and got dressed immediately, in my black slacks and black blazer. I hopped on the M101 bus then transferred to the BX3 and got there in 15 minutes =) ; when I got there, I crossed the street and I see street vendors selling flowers, balloons, and teddy bears for the graduates. I called Sheila and she was a few feet away from me, going up the stairs. Those stairs were longgg, lol. Since obviously I wasn't a graduate, I had to wait ,with everyone, while the graduates went inside. (The graduation was outside, as you can see on the picture, hehe). It was sort of disorganized and a little bit chaotic, I entered through the side of the field and searched for a seat. There were no good seats whatsoever. I was looking for seats, for me, Sheila's aunt Elizabeth, her mother Jeannette, her little sister Mia, and her beloved sons Jaeden and Brandon =) There were so many empty seats that were suppose to be for the privileged folks, as soon as we were allowed to enter the tent, everyone jumped to get seats. Lol, it was the funniest thing, worst than the people on the MTA. I was taking care of the children, while we were at the graduation, it was real nice. The speeches were nice and the valedictorian 's GPA was a 3.8! Ughh, I was a bit annoyed because my heels were sinking into the wet soil. Before I knew it, the sun was SHINING!! That was a great thing. (me and Jaeden pictured on the right). There was so much food at her school, goodness, I ate sooo much cheese. I LOVE cheese!! Sheila and the clan drove around, picked up Justin at school then hanged out, listened to music on the laptop. I was so exhausted, I don't know how I stayed up all day without a nap. I was falling asleep in the backyard, ahhh, lol. We went to Sheila's to change into our nightwear.. Afterwards, we went to Jeannette's house (Sheila's mom) and hunged out for a while: drank and ate a bit. Her aunt Belkys and Elizabeth are the best, they are a boost. i promised GOD I was not going to be drinking like that and I didn't. I felt very nice. By the way, to avoid misunderstandings, I am not an alcoholic, haha. I hydrated myself with water. Hanging there as great, the house is beautiful. It's a duplex, yes, awesomness. It was pretty entertaining. .Look at the kids, lol. This was the best picture of the bunch =) Group shot-----------------------------------> We were literally having a photo shoot outside. It was so hot inside, I tend to have hot flashes, so it was not going well for me. I hate when I get those, I feel like an old lady going through menopause or something -_- Me and my chicas danced the night away at Eros Lounge! I was feeling great, but as the day went by, my mood went down. I MISSED MY BABE, that's what it was!!! He's so amazing Lord Jesus Christ, seriously. I was more in the mood for spending time with him and perhaps go out somewhere in the city and be FREEEEEEE!!! My friend Coco's birthday party was going down, she's such a sweetheart. We smoked some hookah inside, I had to, i was trying to alleviate my foot pain and my mild emo-ness. I was wearing the cutest gold shoes, but they were KILLING me as the night went by. I was containing myself deep down inside and enjoyed myself as much as possible. My girla, Alexandra, looked so hot in her red American Apparel dress. Her butt was like PA POWWWWW!! Lol, I love you Alex. All the girls were dancing like the crazy bitches that they are. I looked so great in them jeans, oh my. We left the lounge around 3am or 4am. Since Sheila lives close by, we decided to walk to her house. WRONGGGG!! That was the biggest mistake ever. We were getting harassed by all these hoodlum guys, as if they never seened beautiful women before, it was ridiculous. Saturday May 31st, thinking about the night, looking forward to hanging out with my friends. I was looking GREAT by the way with my high-waisted pants, beautiful pink and turquoise earrings with my turquoise 4 inch heels. I felt awesome ;) ; my babe came! I walked down the block to meet up with him with Sheila, saw Ilani and Krissy on the way. They're cool peeps. I was so happy to see him, as alwaysss. He's the cream to my cookies [= I brought along my posee: my bff Kemal, Sheila, my twin sis Julianna, etc., hung out in the hallway mainly, the party was out there as well you can say, lol. My babe got me some Pepsi with ice, I was sharing it with Kemo. The atmosphere, on the other hand, was weird and intense. I felt tension in the air as if something bad was about to happen. I have good instincts. I believe there was a fight or some type of argument downstairs because people were running downstairs as if some chaos occurred. Before you know it, the police came and said, "PARTY IS OVER". I was like woww, are you serious? The funniest part was when the cop said, "AND LEAVE THE CUP BEHIND", to my my best friend Kemal, whom by the way is Caucasian/European. We were all like no, it's Pepsi, ha. I thought he was actually going to check the cup, instead he goes to Kemo, "You are a good man" and shook his hand. LMAO. I was like whatttt, are you kidding me? If that were me holding the cup or anyone else who was there, he would've DEFINITELY checked our cups. Why? Because we are MINORITIES. I was like wow Kemo, it's all because you are white. That was pretty entertaining, mmmm. As we're going downstairs and approaching the street, there are a bunch of cop cars outside along with people. My friend Cristal shows up last minute. We all walked the opposite direction, trying to figure out what we were gonna do next. At 3am, we were on the corner trying to figure out what we were going to do. I wanted to just go home. We were there for like 20-30 minutes then we meet up with my cousin, Marvin and all his amigos. My cousin is the funniest guy everrrr, lol. His friend, Chris, had a bouquet of flowers and i forgot why. We hopped on two separate cabs to another party and saw a few of my friends there. It was pumping, I thought yes my night did not go to waste and boom. Needless to say, that get-together ended 10 minutes after I got there because the cops were coming. LOL. What a night. So we all walked to Sheila's house, luckily, she lives close by from where we were. Me and my hubby, my babe, the love of my life walked behind everyone, hand-in-hand. We stayed behind because he took a picture of me =); he's the greatest guy ever. I'll post up a blog, exclusively dedicated to him. Stay posted. We all went to Sheila's and made some sweet, good food, cracked jokes, and drank a bit. It turned out to be a great night afterall.

I Wish....

Posted in , , , , , , , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
I'm sitting here on my computer, I haven't written on my blog for a while now. I always write, it is something i LOVE with all my heart! I wish life were less complicated right now, things aren't looking quite well as I would expect it to be. I am currently out of a J-O-B like millions of other people dealing with these tough times in this recession. I don't know how this government expects people to make ends meet, it's tough out there. I can't be at home as much as I would like, on top of that traveling back and forth between New York and New Jersey can be unbearable and it drives me nuts, really. In life, you have to make sacrifices in order to progress and my sacrifice is not being at home in my own room, in my own space with my parents. There is not place like home! I wish I was more at peace with life, I'm happy with some aspects of my life like having my great family, my close few friends, and my amazing boyfriend: they really make life worthwhile and easier to cope with. Don't get me wrong, life is beautiful and I love it, no one said it was going to be easy, it comes to show how determined and how strong and motivated you are to reach your utmost abilities and conquer your dreams and where you wanna be by the time I'm 25. But one thing I never lose, no matter how frustrating and arghh things get, is HOPE and FAITH. I truly do believe in God and I know that he is gonna give me a break some day soon. I'm going to be a successful model actress and writer. I love the arts, it is so amazingggg, nothing but love! Like emotionally, I don't and haven't been feeling well. I feel lousy and low like I am not worthy of anything. I wish my life would be 1000 times better in terms of career and residence situation, but I am sorta of content with what I have and I have to appreciate that because there are so many people out there who have worst than me and have nothing. I have an AMAZING boyfriend named Anthony. He really is a great person, I see myself in him in so many ways and his sparkly eyes have a wonderful story to tellm they say so much. I see myself being with him for the rest of my life. He is truly my gift from GOD. There aren't words to explain how he makes me feel, how I feel about him, as cliche as it sounds. He makes everything more alleviating!! On a brighter note, I worked out today, I'm maintaining my shape and eating well. I should be signed to a major modeling agency in the city pretty soon (I hope so). My parents arranged a family meeting for this Friday, I've been invited to so many places for Saturday, and Mother's Day is on Sunday, AHHHHHHHHHH! I'm gonna go insane, being on a budget is not easy at all and on top of the fact that I paid for my frigging' phone bill. (i love my BLACKBERRY tho!) i don't know what I'm gonna do, but hey I got 2 interviews and I had a photo shoot, kudos for me! :) I am writing a love letter to my gorgeous other half, it relaxes and soothes my soul! LORD, thank you for sending him to me! And thank you for having me here on Earth, you have given me great people to coexist with! i love them all! I'm listening to soft, serene music... I hope I get well soon....Goodnight world. ~Rafaelina

Untold And Unforeseen

Posted in , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
Something That Was Written A Long Time Ago. I Decided To Post It. If I could look into the future and see what it holds for both you and I, I know it wouldn't be a fantasy world of no worries or problems, we know, that would be a lie. Because life without obstacles would make everything simple and plain, Who wants to live in a world where everyone and everything is all the same? Our trials and tribulations will help us to be and do our very best, Not to repeat but to teach us to get stress and frustration off our chest. Our victories will remind us that we can overcome and continue, as we travel down life's two way street, leaving and learning a bit of knowledge with everyone we meet. There will be times when there is just too much to take and you start to shed a tear, No need to worry, I will be right there to calm your fear. Our emotions, thoughts, and the things we say, Are part of this construction that paves our way. To what kind of future we will make, After all it is fifty-fifty, give and take. Our bodies are our armor and we must take great care, It is our means of mobility to take us from here to there. Although our spirit will survive no matter if we live or lay our heads to final rest, But we must not take anything for granted or think of ourselves any less. What I see in the future for both you and I, I can't see or say for sure but we can make it what we want if we only try. It's a complicated thing when you think about life and what it may hold, Whether or not you're going to live until you are old. But things like that shouldn't matter right now, at this present time, What matters at this point, in this life is that, I am yours and you are mine.

"The Fear Is Gone, All Of Me, All I Have Is Free."

Look Within

Posted in , , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
There is so much beauty in,
This wondrous blue rose.
If only we could capture it,
Within our very souls.
If we could take its beauty,
And apply the glow within,
Search a little deeper,
In the soul beneath our skin.
Take what it does stand for,
And shed its love abroad.
Don't hide the glow within you,
But share the love of God.
You know you can't touch beauty
Without it rubbing off on you,
And spreading it to others
In the kindness that you do.
There lies within each one of us,
The beauty like this rose,
When it's used in touching others,
Then its beauty overflows.

All I See Is You

I remember us,the way we used to be,
I'd hold you in my arms,your smile so sweet to me,
But now when I see you,
you look right through me,
I feel so alone now,
but when I close my eyes...
...All I see is you.
The love we used to share,
gone up in whirl winds,
will I ever love,
or ever live again,
I am tired of crying,
and I am done trying,
To remember all about you,
but when I close my eyes...
...All I see is you.
All the love I am sending,
the memories I won't sell,
I know there must be an ending,
to the story I will tell,
I dream only of your love,
and happiness in life,
I try not to think of you,
but when I close my eyes...
...All I see is you.

Six Silent Tears

Last night before I went to bed
Thoughts of you filled my head
Though I have not cried this way in many years
Onto my pillow fell six silent tears
The first was for your smile that I miss
And your tender lips I long to kiss
The second was for your angle face
And thoughts of your loving embrace
The third came as no surprise
As I thought of your beautiful eyes
The fourth came rolling
Instead of my pillow, it should have been you I was holding
The fifth came for one reason alone
I felt my love for you wasn't fully shown
I really love and miss you my dear
And there just fell the sixth silent tear.

What Am I To Do?

Posted in , , , , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
I haven't done one of these in a really long time. I've been feeling the need to write. Lately, things haven't been how I want them to be in general, but hey, not everything is how we want them to be. I'm feeling so many different emotions right now, that I don't even know what to write. I'm hurt. My heart hurts, my soul hurts, my whole body hurts. I feel like incomplete, like a part of me is missing. I just wanna fly away, a place where I can be at peace with myself and with how my life is. This is not how I want things to be. It feels like nothing ever gets better. There is so much of myself that I have yet to discover, I know I am stronger than I believe at times and I know things will get better with how things are. I hope things get better with my life: my family, my friends, my career, and with love. Things have not been good. I hope to become more bonded with my family and be more open towards them. I hope to aim for all that I dream of. I hope to be able to show all the love I have without being afraid. It's a risk I must take. I hope to become a stronger person, I hope to be able to open up my heart without feeling afraid of pain, hurt, and suffering; that is what life is about, about learning and being a human being.
I know all of these things, but it is sooo hard for me to say how I feel at times. The words are there, but they do come out, fear takes over me, like I freeze and so many questions begin to swirl in my mind. It's nothing personal to anyone, it's not that I am not honest, it's not that I'm a coward, it's none of that, it's just that it's hard to trust someone with your innermost thoughts and feelings. Being vulnerable to someone, in someone's eyes, is a scary thing because you're risking your heart and you're risking getting hurt. I feel that if someone knows too much about you, it can ruin things, perhaps the interest will go away. It's brave to demonstrate yourself all out there. I cry about it, I cry that I can't say how I feel and what I am feeling. It hurts me, it's been affecting me for years. Sometimes, I feel like I am going to end up alone without anyone because I tend to push people away from me. I don't do it intentionally, it is how it is. It's a wall I've had up, and now I have to bring it down. I have to let it all out and be free. I know I have to work on that part of me, I try soooo hard, I need to let go of all the hurt from people in my life. That is the only way I'll reach complete happiness. I know I can do it. This is one of the reasons I love writing so much.
I hope to become the best person I can be, more of who I am, but better. You live and you learn, that is what we're for. It's me and G O D, he's going to help me. I promised myself I would not cry, but I am human. It's a sign of bravery and strength to tear. Tears are beautiful, where do they come from? Today I lost a beautiful part of me, it hurts sooo bad, but I pray that things will be alright and that I'll be able to get through this. I have learned soo much. I don't think I'll be to love another, I don't think I'm supposed to. I must admit, I honestly do not how I am going to make it. Love conquers all?
I am alone now, more alone than ever before. Like the saying goes, "We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone", I guess that saying is true. I don't know if I can handle it, but I hope to overcome my pain as the days go by. God knows what's best for me, doesn't he? This is a time where I have to be strong for myself, especially for myself. I can't let myself get down. I've come to accept how things are, who I am, and what I am here for. Good days bring happiness and bad days bring experience, both are essential to life.

Writing away.

Posted in , , , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
Currently watching the George Lopez show. It's a funny show that should've never been cancelled.

In this episode, George's insensitive mother, Benny is depressed. She lost her house, her car, her life savings, her dog, her everything in a fire. Her boss comes and brings her flowers, supposedly he wants to see how she's doing. She's been out of work for 2 weeks, but what he really went for was to tell her that if she doesn't get back to work by Monday, she was going to be replaced. He says to George, "She's shouting at lambs and eating out of garbage cans. I kinda wanted to see that." This show is just too much, uh I just wanted to say that.

I'm sitting here with this massive teethache. Yes, teeth as in plural, more than one and I'm all bundled up, cold in this house. Like who bundles up to be home? I. Ugh. My whole head and the right side of my face has been hurting for a few days now, including all the teeth on my right side, due to congestion I suppose. Just a few days ago, it hurted to blow my nose because my right ear would get clogged and make weird noises. I was deaf! I have never felt pain inside my face, it sucks soooo bad! I have a doctor's appointment on Tuesday, praise the beautiful Lord. I can't wait!! I really do not like taking medicine, in fact I hate it. So I have been drinking water, praying, massaging, and a bit of ibuproben I must admit even though it's just a temporary pain reliever that doesn't do much but it's something. Mucinex I need, perhaps TheraFlu, how about both. I've been thinking about going to the E.R., but having to wait for long hours wasn't something I wanted. F.Y.I: Medicine is not good.

I prayed earlier. I prayed soooo passionately to G O D that he takes the pain away. Someone told me that there's power in prayer, that someone is my amazing boyfriend Anthony, but I already knew that except he made me believe in it more than I already did. After a while, the pain drastically went down. I had a feeling my prayer was going to be heard. And yep you guessed right, the pain is gonee! Now the pain is minor, it is pounding a bit, just a bit.

Btw, Happy New Years to everyone out there :] I can't believe it's 2009 already, whoaaaa.
