"i look at you, looking at me
...now i know why they say the best things are free"

wishful thinking

yes, you don't ever say I'm too young thank you baby
I've been around enough to know enough to know just what I want
You don 't move too fast or make me rush
No one day we're gonna talk about making love
No doubt baby when the time is right...

...that's why i love you so much

Yes, he did.

homecoming 2009

this was my jam jam

just remember

"all that is impossible with man is possible with God"

Luke 18:27

friday, saturday, sunday, monday

clemson was a very interesting experience. It's a small town with a lot of spirit, i respect that. Way cold there though.

i had the best weekend of my life, this past weekend. I spent time with my friends, got to meet some new ones. I learned a lot about myself and others-- and have come to the conclusion that only God can judge me and I will not judge others. I am learning to love my enemies, cherish my friendships and appreciate the people that are in my life. I couldn't be more content with the progress that I am making in life. I'll just keeping smiling, and living.

If we win a lot, we have to lose a few. But I'm prepared.

smh

before i met her.....

"all i claim is that there is a feminine as well as a masculine side to truth; that these are related not as inferior or superior, not as better and worse, not as weaker and stronger, but as compliments--complements in one necessary symmetric whole. "

all secrets do is fester.

he said....

when the lights don’t glow the same way that they used to
and I finally get a moment to myself
I will realize you were everything I’m missing
and you'll tell me you're in love with someone else....
so can you do me a favor if I pull it together
make it sooner than later we won’t be here forever
and I realize I waited too long
but please don’t move on
you don’t need -Drake, sooner than later

LOVE IT

So I went to AC before I left for school, and I haven't stopped thinkin about Fried Oreos since....

i love that were able

recently, i have learned the importance of honesty, truth and friendship. I am learning more about myself everyday that i open up to someone in my life. Learning this with both males and females has been an insightful and interesting experience. I love that am i able to be myself around the people that i consider to be my close friends. It's been a little crazy, but i'm learning.

I'm just trying to do my part.

lutha

i was just in this mood tonight, with three shots of expresso and a whole lot of reading to do...

oh yeah?

there really isn't a track I don't f with.

hov, i got my own lane already.

Prayer Walk for Jasmine Lynn C'2012

in a matter of minutes Spelman and other members of the AUC will begin to openly mourn the death of sophmore Jasmine Lynn who was killed last Wednesday due to an act of senseless and unidentifiable violence. My prayers continue to go out to the Spelman sister that I never got the chance to meet as well as her family and friends.


RIP Jasmine.

download it, buy it, whatever

Trey Songz will be at Stonecrest today, but i have too much work to do :(


my favorite: Yo Side of the Bed

Time is usually the hardest thing to take, especially when it's the direct opposite of what you want to happen. Perhaps it won't be all that bad, maybe we'll return as the two people that God would have us to be. Everything happens for a reason. And I am trusting with everything that I have, that it'll turn out the way we both want it to be.

what got me through last night....

¹Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

²But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

³And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

⁴The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

⁵Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

⁶For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

and it's so true....

I ____________, pledge....

since we've been here, my fellow spelmanites and i have taken pledges of sisterhood, service, Spel-House support, and embracing the Spelman Standard...not to mention, learned the Spelman Hymn and proved this by singing it from 5:30 am to 7am walking from our respective dorms, to sister's chapel.

We all recited the Sister Accord by Sonia Jackson Myles

"I resolve to establish an agreement with ALL of my sisters, whether they are black, white, red, yellow, or brown. Whether they are strong or weak, rich or poor, educated at Spelman or educated on 17th street, working in C-suite or cleaning it. Whether they are independent or leaning and depending, confident or lacking self-esteem, fighting back or being abused and misused. I will uphold this commitment to my sisters....

i resolve to ....

be honest and truthful
be supportive of your dreams and aspirations
be forgiving
be loving and kind
be in prayer for you
be thoughtful with my words-ensuring that our every encounter and conversation is uplifting
be courageous and hold-to set good examples for your daughters and sons
remain loyal and faithful to our friendship
remain your shelter in the time of storms-your confidant
remain your cheerleader-being your source of inspiration
remain diligent in taking care of my health and reminding you to focus on yours
refrain from judging
refrain from negative thoughts and words about you
refrain from self-doubt and the words : "i can't - because i remember now we know, "yes we can"
refrain from thoughts that put limitations on you and me

BECAUSE...

you are my sister
the time is now, our children are depending on us
we can't wait, time is of the essence
we have so much work to do
we can CHANGE THE WORLD
you are my sister, my friend, my confidant, and my strength and this is our commitment to each other.



Sisterhood

Ethical/Leadership
Moral Development

Respect

Balance

Academic Success

Social Justice

Diversity
....i am in total support of this idea of sisterhood, and being down for each other for whatever, whenever, but we will see just how long this IDEA of sisterhood truly, wholly lasts.

My First Love

and she shall be called...a Spelman Woman

ughhhh......


it's literally been forever since i have blogged. A whole lot has happened since i left philly for atlanta, and im praying its for the best. I am very excited to finally be "a oh so fine diva of the auc" as a inducted member of the Spelman College community. I'm not nearly as homesick as I thought I would be, but i do slightly miss being around the way.

After hours and hours of driving here with a van FULL of stuff, I am a resident of Manley. I never throw up my Omega Nu though, because we get booed. :( I proudly rep HH though because all my girls stay there. We've been on full security lockdown since we got here.....

Olive Branch was fun, but i cannot wait to get off of this campus tomorrrowwwwwww!!!!!!!!!

orgasmic

please?

"i can tell you'll be an interesting addition to the AUC"

Apparently, this is how my new best friend, Manny aka My Night Sky lololol thinks about me....

"Because i can tell that by my list of what i would want in a ladi.. u r definately Delia. 2 by the facial expressions in ur pics u seem like an electric personality.3. Im already enjoying getting to know you. 4. you are still an enigma that i will discover more about at school. 5 you seem like you have a goofy, crazy,and party side but with class...you seem to epitomize the ideal spelman woman and i will be proud, and honor to call you my sister across the street in the fall."

hahahaha.....:) 

God's word is the best...

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.⁸Love 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, ¹⁰but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection 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.

I just sent an inspirational e-mail to a few of my homies, containing this scripture. I love it SO much. to me, this is the most beautiful thing i've ever read. Ever. Live by this. Believe in it :)

random

this is how i know im OHHHH so bored. 

posting pic of myself. 

rescue me :(

3am

cookiedough, conversation and  kittens...

( (meet dwayne and whitley, or skip and vanilla, depending on our moods)

I had a very interesting night last night. I went my girl nya's for a gathering then left there and went to my crib. 

In between those two places however, i had yet another epiphany... 

im glad i had it, cause now i can move forward without any unresolved issues or emotional baggage anymore. :)

it's about time that i...

learn my place, and stay there. for real. 

why you so obsessed wit me?

i like this

Vegas

where i'd like to be.

def, who i'd like to be there with. 

i've missed usher.

the professor

Henry Louis Gates, Jr., a noted and admired professor was arrested for disorderly conduct. After being accused of breaking into his MA., from returning from a trip to China home and showing identification, he was still arrested. It's still unclear whether 

hLG, jr ( head of the  W.E . B DuBois Institute of African American research at Harvard. He's now thinking of pressing charges. Mr. President stated in his press conference, "They (the police) acted stupidly." I guess everyone has their moments, president, or not. 

is this a misunderstanding, cause i don't understand it. 

she had her hair did, it was bound to fall...

i wanna be on BET

I just cannot wait until i land my broadcasting gig somewhere

i have been looking at a few station for future internships and BET keeps coming up

while i don't really think i click with BET like that, i still watch it from time to time...

and i know i wouldn't mind being along Terrance to co-host 106 because i'm waay over Rosci uggh 

however, it could be a good start to a bigger entertainment job, such as E! 

i'll just have to wait and see :)

"the only love you get to keep is the love you give away"

it's been a long time. i even opted for a name change. i haven't really felt much like blogging, but a lot has been on my mind. I have come to terms with my leaving philly, even though i'm fully sure if im ready/ i have my friends in atlanta (carin, briana, treneisha, shawn..etc) waiting for me, and not to mention my family but nothing will be the same as my philly pham. I'm def going to miss tanya (my best friend) when im gone, she'll be all the way in ny. my granny aka mom mom who is funny as hell, my crazyy brothers that i love like my own and everyone else. 

i found that qoute on the back of my great-grandfather's obituary today at the funeral home. 

I think it's true. the only love that we ever get to hold onto forever, dwell on and bask in, is the love that we show and give to others. i've come to realize that loving others the way we should love ourselves and our family is the best way to love. i can't think of anything else i'd rather do, than to show my love :)

and the bible says

trust in the Lord with all thin heart ; and lean not into thine own understanding. 

in all they ways acknowledge Him and he shall direct all your paths. 

Be not wise your own eyes but fear the Lord and depart from evil.

It shall be health to they navel and marrow to thy bones. 

Psalm 3: 5-8

And from now, I will live by this. 

as well as forgiveness, unconditional love and patience. 

damn

the more you open yourself up and try to help  people, it seems, the more they hurt you. 

trying to help someone know the difference btw right and wrong isn't easy. but when you make that step to do so, and then you get slapped in the face it doesn't feel good .. at all. 

In no way do i deserve to be mistreated or disrespected. SO, if you have nothing nice, meaningful, or mature to say, please don't say anything to me. I am trying to best to compose myself right now because i just reached out to a  friend  of mine ( yes, just my friend) and i felt like the wrong response was given. It was no by means WHAT it was, it was HOW it was said. 

a simple, " i cant talk right now or NO response at all would have sufficed. 

it's been a long time coming...

I am so excited to finally know that I'm going to Spelman.

with many prayers, faith and the time to develop the patience to withstand the many months of waiting, i couldn't be happier. It seems that God is working in my life like I always knew he would.

I am so excited to be with my friends and family in atlanta. 

With all that God is showing through for me in my life, i don't think i could be happier, i couldn't have more joy than i do now. 

nothing, and futhermore, no one will be able to take that away from me.

101 things to do before you graduate. the mission of my life

someone gave me this book for graduation. i think i'll start doing a few of the things that are suggested. the first being, write a mission statement for your life. I've learned a ton about myself lately, more than i expected to. There have been a lot of things in my life that I regret and wish i could take back. 

Knowing that i know now, i must acknowledge when mistakes are about to be made, and when people's feelings are in jeopardy. I have to start thinking before i speak and act. 

What's funny is i know plenty of what I  like and much more of what i don't. 

I love God, honesty, loyal friends, nice things, people who know who they are, revealing moments that allow me to connect with the people closest to me, smiling, drama-free peeps. 

i can't stand liars, stuck ups, cheaters, thieves, people who chip away at you to fill their personal voids, drama.... everything and anything that would destroy a friendship or relationship. 

 hmm...a lot of my views about what I want my life to be recently. what do i stand for? who am i? who are the most important people to me? what am i really about..Dr. Bozeman from Spelman told us girls last summer to know who we are before people tell us. Meaning, o have a clear understanding of the kind of people we are before we let an outsider's label and personal impression influence the perception of ourselves.  I've been trying to sort through what i think of myself and what others think of me. After a while, i realized that it truly shouldn't matter what other think of me; of what kind of person i am, what i have, what i do. Deep down inside, when you become strong enough to know who you are and you can stand strong through what anybody else may think and leave it between you and God, it really won't matter. 

I'll think about writing that mission statement soon. 

matters of the mind

one thing that steve harvey said best, was that we would must rather live with one another's imperfections, than be alone.  Most revelations like this are so powerful, because they are so true.When will we come to the realization that we all deserve someone who is willing to be honest, true, attentive and stand up for what's right. I never understood why partners lied to one another concerning the truth about their family, or even how they really, truly  feel. I've never been a fan of listening to or saying things for the sake of the person wanting to hear them. I say what's real and i hope that those around me, or in my life realize and do the same. Sometimes i think i care too much about the people in my life but then i realize it's just that how i love. i love hard. 

don't forget farrah

I wouldn't say Farrah is being upstaged my Mike's death but let's just not forget her. 

"bitches still wear they hair like her" 

more myspace moments

i was something like a messssssssss lol 

a cute mess though
