Self Evolution


Something got to be different from yesterday, right? We try to achieve new goals or set goals everyday and I believe that is the reason why we wake up every morning to take on the day. But something have to be different. If you are a student, you should learn something today that you didn’t know yesterday, if you are a working person, your career should be one step closer to get a promotion, if you have debts, you should be one dollar lower on your debts; whatever you do, it should be one step closer to your main objective, it cannot be same as yesterday. It is not a physical evolution where fish first walked on land, but it’s more of mental evolution where you have gained something valuable to evolve you from yesterday you to today you. It’s only human nature that we strive to be better every day. If we stayed the way we are everyday, we would still be homo Neanderthal with no development. And, most likely, we would’ve been wiped out like dinosaurs.

Some may ask “Paul, What do you do that you consider to be self evolving?” and my answer is that I am in University. I said, University, I did not say College, Institute nor anything in that category, but in UNIVERSITY. I attended Community Colleges, I attended Institute, I did get a high school diploma, I did get an A.A and now, I am working to get my B .A in UNIVERSITY. And, NO, I did not get help from my parents to get to where I am today. Of course, I thank them for raising me and bring me to the point where I could stand on my own, but I also take credit for what I have achieved because the cards have been dealt the way it was dealt and it told me to be independent and I took that initiative  and ran with it. Of course, I dealt with failures and made many mistakes but, they say mistakes is mother of success, I am only getting closer to my goals and my brighter future. I would be completely lying if I said I never felt like I won’t achieve happiness or finish my goal, because I have numerous times; but it’s darkest before the dawn, and light will show. Just got to suck it up and take that pain one day at a time to become stronger and immune to the pain and embrace the pain as your blessing to make you stronger.

Self Evolution; what are you doing to better yourself? Do you have a goal that you are looking at to achieve the greatness? Or are you in a routine to just maintain what you have? Be better than you are yesterday. Happiness is a road you can only achieve by working at it.

Special: My Memory of You(R.I.P Melissa Fagin)

It was 8th grade that I moved to Redmond from Lynnwood. I didn't no anyone but people were nice to greet a foreign kid who still had an accent and weird style. I started to hang around Anthony and one day, I met you with Chris in a weird situation. But you were still funny, you were still gorgeous and you were great person to hang around. Ever since that we all became the 107 st./ block crew. Me with Omar, Phil, Ron, Anthony, and Chris, you with Ashley, Michaela, Moss, Stacy, Rachel; we were friends that were closer than just friends. We formed a family that we promised to be there when others needed help, motivation and support. I remember in 9th grade, I went to your house with Curtis and I think Ron and I remember the look you gave me and later on Curtis told me you liked how I looked . That maybe be take 254 at 9 PM to go back up the education hill to ask you out to be my girl. We dated 1 week but I still remember how me, you, Ron and Ash all walking around Redmond near Junio

My cellphone history

Image
I had a cell phone ever since I was in 8th grade. Not because my parents were rich and just wanted to spoil their kids, they gave us the phone because they worked all the time and, what do you expect, we wanted it for emergency reasons ;), right? Just like many of you, my first phone was Nokia and we would text, call and play snakes on it. We had to buy ringtones from third party that sounded really nothing like the song. But it was cool and it was new, so I loved it and it served the purpose. Nokia 3390                          But soon after, flip phone era was in. But, nothing really cool was            cool was coming out. It was smaller the better kind of era and it had            to be a flip phone, so I got a Samsung phone that was simple but ok            work with. More games were on it, ringtones became more realistic.            One thing I liked about this phone was that it had display section            on the front cover. Just in case, mom or dad called

Top 5 Favorite Rappers of PJ

Image
I listen to everything from Rap, Rock, Jazz, Classicial, Blues, Punk, Pop, R&B, Dub Step, EDM and even Folk (No country or Heavy Metal, sorry). But, at the end of the day, my favorite have to be Hip Hop/ Rap. Why? because even though, so many so called music aficionados believe rap isn't really music, rap convey message using slang and code and it really fascinate me of how much creative a person can get. But do not get me wrong; this doesn't mean I like all rappers. If anything, I am more harsh on rappers than a R&B singers. For me, rap got to me creative and unique. Rap got to convey a message that everyone goes through and let the fans relate to the lyrics. Rap shouldn't always be about Money, Cars, Blings and Hoes; I love intelligent rap that actually have a message and meaning. So here is my top 5 rappers. 1) Jay - Z: If you know me, this shouldn't come off as a shock; this guy is my idol. Yes, he does talk about money, cars, blings and hoes; but who does
