Gone Too Soon

Too young,
Too vibrant,
Too full of life.
Yet he was taken away.

R.I.P Sebastien Compas (Baboun, Seby, Chaboubou)

Now you are an angel,
And you will never be forgotten.

Haiti Earthquake

01/12/2010
A 7.0 earthquake hits my motherland and affected my people in a way that in my mind never forseen. Nightmare doesn't ever describe it.
Pain, suffering, horror, death...
Since Tuesday evening 5 pm, the world of Haitians has been upside and will never be the same.
We rejoiced when we heard good news about the survivors
Yet, we lost many, and have cried for others loss. May their soul rest in peace

God Please help and protect those who are alive in Haiti right now and are helping others.

Let us keep our people, The HAITIAN people, in our prayers.
We cannot lose faith.
God is our only hope.

Stay positive,
♥ Gigi

Right Side UP

"Sometimes life flips you upside down so you can see right side up"

This is my quote for today
Hard times occur so that we can enjoy the good times to come.
So if you are going to some hard times,
Just think of it as the rain before the sunshine.

Stay Blessed,
Gigi

Gold Medal

"You will never make it
You are not worth it
You have no purpose in life
You are not smart enough to make it in life
You are only book smart
You do not have what it takes
You will never matter
You will never be loved like that
You will not be IT
You will smash and burn
You cannot achieve this
You will never make it"




If you have heard those words
At some point in your life but
You're still alive and trying hard to make it,
Give yourself a pat on the shoulder and keep on trying.

Sometimes, people never realize that words mean a lot.
Words are words.
They can hurt or lift depending on how they are said.
They say actions speak louder than words but sometimes
Words take over and paint a picture that no action can erase.

So if you have been hurt at some point in life due to words
Just dust off your shoulder and keep on moving.

Just because someone doesn't believe that you will make it
or don't believe that you can make it,
Doesn't mean that they are right.
You are the only person that gets to make your own destiny (aside from God),
And if you want to make it, one day you will.

At the end of every race, there is a finish line
And best believe that you will reach that finish line
And acquire that gold medal of yours.

Stay Optimistic,
♥ Gigi

Sometimes....

Sometimes
Those who are supposed to be there let you down
Those who are supposed to believe in you, DON'T
Sometimes
Those for who you care deeply, do not care as much
Those for who you will ride or die for would rather take a different cab
Sometimes
You just have to realize that people are just people
They will hurt you,
They will make you feel good,
But, at times,
They won't always be there.
And when they are not...all you can do is take it a step at a time
And walk with God, because only Him will Always be there.

Stay Blessed,
Gigi

Memories of the Past

It's amazing how sometimes the past seems to catch up to us

We seem to forget that we are in the present.

We seem to feel at ease and forget that it is just a mirage

Sometimes the past catches up to us and makes us lose our breath

We feel like we need to come up for air

We feel like the emotion is tangible, the memories are realistic.

It's amazing how sometimes the past catches up to us

To remind what we had, make sense into what we have,

And bring a glimpse of hope into what we wish to have.

Sometimes the past catches up to us and when we lose our breath

All we have to do, is come up for air

And cherish the dear memories.

Stay Blessed,

Gigi

T.R.U.S.T

Sometimes in life, people don't understand that it is hard to let them in and harder to let them out once they got in. Once you trust someone, it's either it's here or it's gone forever.

I wrote this poem thinking about trust in many situations. Hope you guys enjoy it :D

One word, 6 letters and a whole lotta headaches

No trust, no relationships.

No trust, no friendships.

I can’t let down my guard if I don’t trust you.

My world won’t be an open book to you if I can’t confide in you

Forget about finding about my dirty little secrets if trust isn’t there

I can’t open up myself to you not knowing what I am stepping into

I can’t let you in without knowing what I am letting in

If you don’t have that little key called trust all doors are closed.

Last thing I want is to realize that I have let a thief into my vault.

Last thing I want is to have my heart stolen by some moron.

Trust, it’s either there or not

From the looks of it, you need to make a U-turn and not bother coming

Because, Trust is not there.

Love, Gigi

B.O.U.N.D.A.R.I.E.S

It amazes me how people don't know the meaning of "BOUNDARIES"

1 word, 1 freaking word.
How hard can it be to understand the meaning of boundaries??
Boundary: LIMIT, SPACE, WHERE THE LINE IS DRAWN

However people seem to think that it is OK to cross the line and
NOT expect anything to happen.
It even seems that some people will try to test your boundaries
Just to see how far they can go with you.

I think that it utterly disrespectful when random people
And even your own friends
Don't know when to stop and think before they say
Some ridiculous or just say some ignorant thing just because they think they can.

So my food for thought today is
"Please think before you speak and respect others' boundaries"
If you would not want somebody to TELL you something or DO something to you,
You probably should not do it to them.
"Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You - Matthew 7:12"
Jesus said it first!

Stay blessed and educated.

Books or Not?

I read on the website about the things you could do with books if you don't want to read them.
Go artistic with the books!
Here are some of the book-art I found online:




Hope you enjoyed it!
