reInventing it all

2010-01-05T21:51:00.000-08:00

ahhh. it's been a long time. I've been thinking and rethinking and there's a million and three things that i've realized, rethought and renovated since entering in 2010. in light of that, i am excited to be blogging again. the break isn't really explicable but instead a breather--time for me.

regardless of who reads and who doesn't, at the end of the day i'm still me.

the person i am becoming will be reconized by many but experienced by few. I am no longer interested in pleasing others, or worrying about what others think. I am freeing myself from the binding thoughts of outsiders, judging me based on word of mouth. it's over. meet the new Kalia Nicole. Enjoy.

ive eaten zaxbys 3 times
shimmeyed off 7 in 20 minutes with J5
ive gotten 2 bruises (hmm...)
ive slept for 10 hours
ive missed 3 classes and a girls movie night
ive cleaned 34 dirty dishes
ive folded 7 pairs of clean boxers
ive seasoned 1/2 pound a chicken

the past weekend = me elated. when will people realize that when it's real it's real and you've got to either step up to the plate to appreciate that, or fall back and let someone else step up and handle that. Time is of the essence.

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

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.

I will realize you were everything I’m missing
and you'll tell me you're in love with someone else....

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.

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.

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....

2009-08-24T22:18:00.001-07:00

I ____________, pledge....

2009-08-24T09:06:00.000-07:00

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.

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.....

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...

2009-07-26T22:01:00.000-07:00

"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 :)

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"

2009-07-20T18:10:00.000-07:00

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

2009-07-08T07:53:00.001-07:00

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

2009-07-06T22:57:00.000-07:00

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...

2009-07-06T09:47:00.000-07:00

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

2009-06-30T21:26:00.000-07:00

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

2009-06-30T12:29:00.000-07:00

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.

When I had a myspace and was a youngbul these are the kinds of pics I used to take....along with changing my myspace name to simple stuff like mrs b.will, or "his wifey" apparently i was dating a clown that nobody let me know that he was just that until it was far far too late.

the things we regret after maturing.

but the beat goes on

I still can't believe it. He's gone. I always thought his personal life was mysterious but I don't think that took away from his impact on music and people everywhere. It really shocked me yesterday afternoon -- kinda like when i heard about Aaliyah, Left eye and Luther. It's crazy to me. Even though his music was during, and a little before my time, as a young adult I have always been into old music. For Mike though, i grew up listening to him cause my daddy loved him. Despite all the ridicule and controversy that surrounded him i must say that I'll miss him.

*/i like the idea of representing one's love for their spouse or significant other is okay, but this is a bit much.

I want mine to be this famous too

the beginning of goodbyes

I have A LOT to do this week,

it seems like ALL my family from ATL is here which is amazing since i miss them so much and can't wait to be down there with them.

But I have like 20 ppl staying here..idk how i feel about that at all.

anyway, i've got commencement on wednesday, then a private dinner party

then intimate gathering at the crib with Touchtone and Lush and a daiquiri bar

a new phone coming and I'm expecting nothing less than stacks.

Coming empty handed isn't really an option .

Here's what I'll say on Wednesday...To Rich, Sharon, Mr. Stewart, Families, Friends, and the AFS community, Good afternoon.

There will always be that one place in our lives that draws us to remember, reflect and revisit. That one place houses the memories that helps shine light on who we are, and who we have become. For me, that one place has been Abington Friends School. AFS us hone of close and unmatched relationships with teachers and faculty, the friendships with those I’ve met along the way, and the memories are infused from Tyson House to the Meetinghouse.

During the journey that began here twelve years ago, I have been met with new challenges, new accomplishments and a host of grand opportunities. Thinking back, among a catalogue of memories, I can recall the first day of first grade. I walked into Barbara Weaver’s class, nervous and shy. Immediately, I was greeted and comforted by fellow lifers Angie Adams and Jazmin LeDuc, their smiles and energy was the light I needed. . They showed me to a cubby near theirs and from the first day of first grade to the last photo taken at senior prom, we have stuck together.

Our friendship expanded each year that

The years quickly passed from first middle school dances, to moving on from 8th grade. As I continued down the path to maturity, confronted numerous expectations, and at times, the overwhelming pressures of high school made it hard to see the road ahead. However, in the midst of it all, I was greeted with the reassurance of an outstanding grade team, faculty and community. For that, I owe nothing less than a thousand thank yous.

My most enjoyable memories at AFS, have been singing along to every song at Winterfest, cheering on my peers at sporting events, and lending my voice to PRIDE; as it was noticeably a true passion of mine. It will be hard to forget my last Arbor Day with choreography of the AFS song, courtesy of Bruce Brownell, and the many tearful moments from Candlelight to this very day, when I face of reality of having to say goodbye. From all I have to remember of this place, it will be the light that fills this community. It will be the contentment and joys of knowing that no matter how far I go, or how long I’m gone, when I come back here, the very principles that hold this wondrous community together will not have wavered, the light will still be shining.

Finally, to the Class of 2009.As we have grown, so has our spirit, our ambition and our thirst for success. Although we’ve had our moments, where we seemed behave like siblings, we made it. We made it to the day where we can stand in the light, look each other in the eyes as fellow graduates, and mature young adults ready to embark on our journeys. The feeling of sincere appreciation and love for one another is almost too much to bear. My heart is filled with the utmost respect for each one of you. I know that we all sit among the most successful CEOs, international diplomats, actors, singers, athletes, teachers, doctors, lawyers and entrepreneurs. The journey that we are about to begin, is greater than all of us. As we all progress to the next stages of our lives, it is my hope for all of us to continue to invest in each others goals, as I have no doubt in my mind that they will be attained. Nelson Mandela said, “As we let our light shines, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. Class of 2009 let’s keep that light forever shining. I love you, Congratulations, and Thank you.

ok ok

i've recently been thinking about those who i spend my time with, those who are actually worth my time. I found that for the past few years i've been hanging with a few that never really understood, or furthermore appreciated being around them. Now, its clear to me why i felt that way. I feel good about where i am now and where i'm going. I like the people who are genuine, true to self, free spirits who don't need outside validation. It feels good to surrounded by the people where respect is mutual, shit r e a l .

they say,

imitation is the greatest form of flattery

originality is the greatest form of self discovery, self-distinction

and creativity.

Luke 1:76 -79 (NIV)And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you willgo on before the Lord to prepare the way for him, to give his people theknowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, because of thetender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heavento shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guideour feet into the path of peace." InspirationIn your troubled times, your soul can often be full of worry, doubt, andfrustration. Your soul is the province of God. When there is upset, Christ'shealing hands and healing power are ready to be placed upon you. ChristJesus is ready to smooth over every upset. In your heart, you know you cantrust Him. In Christ, no matter how difficult this time may be, you can findrest in Him. Christ is above all matters. Christ gives you a peace and lovepassing all understanding. Although God's ways are mysterious, they are alsovery real. In the troubles and trials of this very hour, Christ is standingbeside you giving you words of encouragement and love everlasting. At thefoot of His Cross, your troubles melt away in your redeeming sorrow. At thefoot of His Cross, His cleansing blood takes away your sin and takes awayall thoughts of yourself.

today's word

2009-05-17T11:23:00.000-07:00

pastor waller spoke about "do you have Good Religion"

he spoke about our blessing being more than self-serving.

he spoke about loving thy neighbor,

standing in the gap to help others overcome what you've already been through

nobody is sinless or perfect...

be careful where you place friendship because where you place friendship, you place love and where there's love there is conformity and you can become condemned and reap whatever those around you are sowing.

but if you have grace, then you have the gifts of God, then you have joy, and you should rejoice in all that the Lord has done, which should translate into your character and how you treat people.

live for God, don't be afraid to be misunderstood by the world and there's no fear in living for God.
