A Journey to the New World

 White Gold - 1 Carat total Meanings: Five small diamonds on the sides -- On our 10th month anniversary is when we have our wedding Three diamonds in the middle -- At 3 weeks, we confessed our love for each other. It's finally happened! He proposed to me yesterday at the Holley Waterfall! I am so excited. We are planning for our July 5th (this summer!!!!) wedding. We've had some drama from my parents about how soon it is, but I firmly believe that if you really love someone, then anything else shouldn't matter when it comes to marrying and making a life-long commitment to your loved one. I also believe that life is never too short to marry soon. We want to get settled down soon. He really does love me. I'm now a true believer of true love! :)

Quote by Mister Rogers of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.
What is your definition of harassment?
My definition is as follows (according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary & Thesaurus):
Pronunciation: hə-ˈras; ˈher-əs, ˈha-rəs
Function: transitive verb
Defintion: (1): to annoy persistently
(2): to create an unpleasant or hostile situation for especially by uninvited and unwelcome verbal or physical conduct
Yesterday, I was greatly disturbed when one man approached me after talking with another student (I know that particular student because of my old roommate), and that man seemed annoyed and told me,
"WHAT DID HE SAY TO YOU? DO YOU KNOW HIM?" After I told him that I knew him, he went over to the student and yelled at him, telling him that I was his friend and that if he would not leave me alone there would be consequences. I was really freaked out, and paid for my chips (.96 cents). As I was about to exit the Ritz (a local cafeteria at RIT), the man pointed out to me and told me to "GET BACK HERE AND SHOW HIM MY DEBIT CARD". I went back to the bar (where he was) and he demanded I give him my debit card and he said he is making the student pay for his actions. I looked at the student, and he was like, just don't give him your card and go. I just looked at him and played dumb. I would never give my debit card to a raving stranger, and (forgive me) judging from his actions, he was mentally unstable, and spooked me really badly. He got angry and said, "OH FORGET YOU." A classmate pretty much helped by walking out with me. I was so shaken up. I have such a great dislike for people like those.
When I was driving home, I prayed to the Lord that I had the courage to walk away if I saw him at another time. I also prayed for forgiveness for how rude I had acted (but then again I was truly scared).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On another note, Alex has been keeping me super-happy since the indicent, and he's been engaging me in tickle fights, in which I lost sooo badly. :P Compared to him, he's much less ticklish than I am!!! Needless to say I had a HUGE SMILE yesterday, and I still have my smile! :D
Yesterday was an amazing day, and I have a few stories to say, besides the tickle fights! :)
- After Alex and I had our heart-to-heart conversation, we went for a LONG walk to Krony's for some pizza (for dinner) and some of their soft-serve ice-cream, and then walked back home. It was the perfect weather for it! :) It was such a peaceful afternoon, and it felt so nice to be able to enjoy God's scenery. The skies had unique clouds, I was able to see a dove, a dolphin, and an elephant's smiling face!
- Last night, my "mom-in-law" and I had an interesting conversation about Alex and I, you could see that she truly was happy for Alex and I to have our relationship move forward each day, and she asked how my relationship with God was, and I sat there, explaining how amazing that relationship was since I have been with Alex. She had this smile and said,
"That's great to know! It's very important that you and Alex have each other, as well as having God in your lives."
I agreed with her whole-heartedly. I already have bettered myself by leaving my ex, all the negativity and with the lack of faith. I feel more happier that I have Alex and the fact that our faith has been amazing to us.
- Also, last night, right before I fell asleep, the last thing I saw was Alex saying that regardless of my past (with my ex and the incidents at school), he would never leave me and I could see he really meant it when he said that he has always wanted to marry me and that he really loved me. I fell asleep, and when I woke up, Alex was right at my side, he kissed me and then tickled me out of bed!!!
So altogether, these past two days have been amazing. Having Alex and God in my life does wonders.

Quote by Jigsaw from Saw IV.
Well, as the day ends, I must admit, today was a very good day for me! 
It all started at 4 am, when Alex came in my room for a good-night kiss. Yes, we do live together but we do not share a room (because we are not married yet, and I do not want to disrespect his parents, who are extremely generous and allowed me to stay at their home for absolutely free), but that is only because I had no choice. The roommates I had at the apartment were awful, and I did not want to stay somewhere where I was not comfortable at anymore. Considering I was paying a hefty price for it being an on-campus apartment. Anyways, when Alex came in for a kiss, I tried my best to wake up, and when I managed to, we were talking about random stuff, silly stuff if I may say! :P We were talking about Avree's post about abortion and how we disliked Obama for that reason, we also talked about food (what a surprise! :P Alex loves food!), we also talked about the possibility for me to start wearing two hearing aids, instead of one (which I currently use), we were (God forgive us) talking poorly of our "friends" who introduced us to each other. I don't want to mention names, but the couple who introduced us started backstabbing us and at one point tried to introduce Alex to someone else (a single female in which when I met her, she openly admitted she was a sex addict). I got really upset and disturbed, and came to the conclusion that she wasn't a true friend if she would do things like that.
We stayed up talking about pretty much everything until 4:50 am. It was really a lovely conversation, and I fell asleep with a big smile! I woke up at 8, and got ready to leave at 8:45 am.
I had a HUGE lab practical (exam) for my Networking class today, and I must say, I was nervous, but I knew that I could do it, and I did! It's funny, I think the Lord was helping out a bit, because when I got stuck with connecting the fiber optic adapter to PC2, and tried to direct-connect PC1 and PC2 without using the room switch or the hub, I got stuck, and start stressing out. THEN, I prayed for some guidance, before I knew it, my hands were at work, and I was able to get the whole activity working just the way the Professor wanted it. I felt extremely proud of myself after walking out of the room.
When I got home, it was around noon, I was all giddy, and accidentally woke up Alex (he loves sleeping in on his days off! :P). But he was such a good sport and listened to how my day went! :)
It goes to show you that there are truly a few good people in this world who just loves to listen to you talk, and is extremely patient with you, even though they desperately want to say something to join on the excitement. I am actually disappointed with people nowadays. Everyday when I drive to school or back home, I would always be cut off by someone who was in a rush, and I use my "mom-in-law's" car (I lost my car to a nasty accident almost three weeks ago, it's a long story). They would leave barely any space for them to pass in front of me. It was scary! I wish most people had patience to get through everything with a positive attitude instead of putting other people's lives in danger.
In addition to that, I always give my best to be patient with everyone, regardless if I like them or not. There is a guy in my Networking class. I used to be close with him, but at the beginning of this year, we were not on good terms because he said hurtful things about me cheating on my ex, which was not true. He is deaf and nearly-blind. He has Usher's Syndrome. When we first started the class in March... I felt awful. No one would talk with him. But then again, no one talked with me either. But I could see he was really alone. Just staring at his laptop, and often staring at space. So I went over and started signing with him. He seemed a bit happier after that. I felt like I did a good deed. It is hard for him to see anything, which is why I sign in his hands. Many people do not have that patience. Once they know he can't see anything, they don't really bother giving some time to converse with the C-Print captionist to relay their message to Ryan (the student's name), plus the other deaf students avoid him because they don't want to work with him because he takes up a lot of time to understand the labs and he (I will admit this) is slow. It makes me sad that people just don't have patience for others anymore.
I never lose my patience for anything. Patience, like many say, is a virtue.
Well, it's getting late and I have to study for a Math test tomorrow!
Good night! :)
P.S. I drew the background myself, whatcha think? :)

Quote by Seven of Nine from Star Trek: Voyager
Well, this is my first blog entry here! Thank you, Avree, for referring me to this website. :D
Today was a strange day. Maybe it was from my bad head ache. Who knows? I woke up a bit late today, had a heart-felt conversation with Alex about a few things that were bothering him, then I went to my math class at noon at RIT (it's a 40 minute drive, but it's worth the drive!), then went to tutoring, and then headed to my car for a short nap. I ended up sweating like a pig, so I put on some deodorant and Febreeze (I always keep one wherever I go :P) and left for my Programming class at 3:30. It was a quick class. I got my assignment nearly finished. I then drove home, and saw Alex for a bit. Then he went off to class. I ended up working a bit on my homework, and was supposed to take a bath. Alex got home at 9 pm, I went up for a bath, and studied for my Networking Exam tomorrow.
I guess I feel a bit exhausted. I should put away the laundry and see if Alex wants to watch an episode of Voyager. :)
