The forces are with you Sophie

Hello dear imaginary bloggers out there, it is again that time of the moment where we are reunited to take a peek at what I call my life. All right ladies and gentleman it is the best time to ask me "What's new" and this time I promise that I won't respond "Myeahh! nothing much" because some things been happening lately.

One lovely Saturday evening, I decided that I wanted to stand out instead of being swallowed by the crowd, I got myself a dramatic makeover. I think my nickname should be "Goldy Afro Puff" because of the puffiness that my hair has, which has curly golden highlight, bangs that are so long they cover my eyes but bring out my genuine smile when I wear Perle earrings. Most of the time I get stopped to be complimented of my new hair do, stared at and even had couple of guys begging to be my boyfriend and oh my favorite of it all, my hair has decided to break the boundary with a classmate that I had the enjoyment of bashing. Since his flattering comments made me blush and thought that I've been hit in the head, we're no longer enemies. Credits goes to my new curly and wild hair do.

I've neglected this blog. Wow. It has been at least a month and a half since my last post. The funny thing is we aren't posting anything related to what we initially promised. Fail!!!!! I've been avoiding this blog because it resembles a secret diary. When I sign in, it is as if I'm forced to spill everything about me. lol! I will not succumb to temptation. Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating...just a tiny bit! About my fish, my mommie mailed me a ton of pamphlets and books about properly caring for them. After reading them, I realized I am an unfit owner/mother. :( So, I changed my mind.

I want to make a list. So, here goes.....

Things I've realized while in Grad School:
1. God is so good. I love him so much! (I always knew that)
2. My parents are not just awesome, but super awesome. They spoil me. hehe
3. Jer and Nancy are so funny. Best siblings I could ever ask for. My big is amazing. He is so good at everything he does. His wife(my sister-in-law) is also amazing. They are so cute together. lol!
4. All of my friends have one thing in common: Me. I'm always the mediator and the messenger. I have to hear all of the good news, bad news, exciting news! I have to deal with the crying, laughing, screaming, yelling, and fighting. I love them all!
5. Sleeping is not an option. eww!
6. Food has become less and less of a necessity.
7. I hate bugs. I detest bugs. I despise bugs.
8. I like being alone. I spend all my life around people. I thought I liked it. I do, but I like being alone with my thoughts best.
9. Procrastination is horrible, but I just can't stop. lol!
10. Best friends are life savers. I love you Sophiaa and Daniella! I miss Sheba.
11. Reading my Bible and poetry right before going to bed while drinking tea is a MUST! My days are always better with nights like these!
12. Calling my daddy at 3am in the morning because I'm scared is always welcomed at my house.
13. Sunday phone calls with the family are amazing. There's nothing better than listening to them while on speaker phone.
14. Jer has to tell me every detail of his life and expects me to be as excited about each one as he is.
15. You truly like someone if you answer, "no","I have a bf(even if you don't)", "I'm allergic", "I don't like round faces" when guys ask you out (or girls too, eww).
16. Seeing people you haven't seen for weeks is one of the greatest feelings on planet earth.
17. Grandma will ask me the same questions over and over again and will keep me on the phone for hours! <3
18. Mailing cards and receiving mail is a sublime experience.
19. My family and extended family's three favorite text message words are: I love you.
20. Staring at the night sky every night is an important ritual.
21. Boots and gloves should be always on sight.
22. Girls can't live without boys! haha
23. Blogs will always be neglected.

In three more weeks, I'll be in the sunshine state. I can't wait!!! It's also thanksgiving, my favorite holiday. I will be baking like a madwoman! I'm getting a Mac, whoo! It will be my perfect chance to get spoiled. I have to get back to my reading assignments. xoxo

Je n'attendais que vous par Garou (Post by Sophie)

I just felt the need of posting a beautiful lyrical song by french Singer Garou.
I will commemt later

Je n'attendais que vous


On garde un soleil
Au fond de nous,
Un feu quon réveille
Malgré tout,
Malgré les douleurs dhier
Tout à coup on espère

Au hasard dun jour
Pareil aux autres,
On se sent moins lourd,
La vie nous porte
Pour un regard de lumière
Un seul aveu à faire

Je nattendais que vous
Je nespérais que vous
Jai marché si longtemps
Je viens de loin
Le monde était grand
Et long le chemin
Je nattendais que vous
Nulle autre que vous
Jattendais votre voix, vos soupirs
Donnez-moi votre air, quenfin je respire

On garde un peu dor
Au fond de lâme
Mais le temps dévore,
Éteint la flamme,
Jusquà ce jour de hasard
Et soudain on repart

On remplit nos yeux
Dautres couleurs,
Est-ce quon y voit mieux ?
Est-ce quon est meilleur ?
Quand tout redevient si clair
Un seul aveu à faire

Je nattendais que vous
Je nespérais que vous
Jai marché si longtemps
Je viens de loin
Le monde est trop grand
Trop long le chemin
Je nattendais que vous
Nulle autre que vous
Jattendais votre voix, vos soupirs
Donnez-moi votre air, quenfin je respire
Vous

Je nattendais que vous
Je nespérais que vous
Jai marché si longtemps
Je viens de loin
Le monde était grand
Et long le chemin
Je nattendais que vous
Nulle autre que vous
Jattendais votre voix, vos soupirs
Donnez-moi votre air, quenfin je respire

Et nulle autre que vous
Jai marché si longtemps
Je viens de loin
Jen ai mis du temps pour trouver vos mains
Vous Vous

When you're 15.....(Sophie)

Just recently when I listened to Taylor Swift's song called Fifteen, I thought back of when I was fifteen and my younger years.

Now when it comes to relationship, I am definitely not an expert yet I come back to the words that my mother have told me when I was in my years of knowing everything about love. Ha what I fool I was.
I remember when I was fifteen in my sophomore year in high school, something totally hit me as I take my seat in my biology class. When I left my country, Haiti, I tried to stay in touch with everyone as much as I could and from the lines of mails, I thought that I might have fallen in love with someone who used to be a really close friend of mine. We exchange emails and from then on everything seemed to go well, I felt as if I was climbing stars made of flowers because of this gushy feelings I suddenly had for this young man.

As a silly fifteen year old would do, I started drawing hearts, writing my name and his inside of this powerful hand print heart I have made all around my notebook. Then as I tried it once again, I felt as if something was missing and I felt bad for not reacting to the way I should. This feeling kept on knocking at my door as I get to my junior year in high school. Note that it was a relationship happening in two different countries, for he was in Haiti and I was in Florida. In my junior year I started to grow apart from this relationship because first of all, I felt wrong for being in a a so called relationship at such an age my parents forbid to have a relationship. Second of all as I read between the lines of his email, I couldn't tell whether I was his friend or his girlfriend. In my senior year, I lost control of where this relationship was going because he mentioned celebrating 5 years of relationship with each other. Oh! my gosh, I knew that I should act on it when I kept on getting red lights. Red lights not because he was a bad guy (Believe me, he is definitely not a bad guy) but red lights because I just didn't feel it was right to keep on going in a relationship without telling my parents.

Finally, I decided that it was best for this relationship (a so called one) to come to an end. I felt bad because I didn't really want to break his heart but I had to do what is best for him and for me. At that age I felt as if my only worries were "Who's going to love me" rather than loving myself first and being sure that God had always me first. I had to end it because I wasn't ready and now I take seriously the essentials of what makes a relationship.
He and I we stayed friends, we talk from now and then but I don't think I would ever go back.
And seriously I felt like a prisoner and felt like I was cheating if I made my "Manly" comments on other guys
Remark I said "Manly" comment not flirt.
My friends can not get enough of these jokes :)
Until then
Here's to "True Love"

Main point. Relationships are a big dea

Suddenly, (Sophie)

Hello Dear Friends
I know that you have been awaiting for the apparition of blogs, any blogs about anything....seriously.
First of all, I want to point out how funny it is that it is only the three of us in our little cozy site, yet I speak as if I am addressing an audience. Well for now, I will just imagine my lovely audience reading every sentences and catching their breaths in the place held for the periods.

We haven't really open up any subject about "Vintage" which is  the real reasons behind our blog. We haven't present anything to you because we are trapped with our schooling, so much that it leaves us little time to make advanced research and bring something new and fresh to your eyelids. So far we try to keep you entertain with poems that each of us two will post. (I haven't done so, I am in trouble with Vickie)
Our "Vintage" articles are still "Under Constructions"

Last week-end (September 11 2009) I had the opportunity to get away and assist to open air, thrilling, oh so uplifting-soul -musics by talented Christian artists. I was even more happy when I had to the chance to see Jeremy Camp (I might be in love with this guy by the way :) live, performing. To be honest, God really blessed me, he and I had what I would call a deeper relationship because I've learn so much in three days and everyday.Jeremy Camp did not only perform, but he also spoke to his crowd and minister to us and even got goofy with his us (the crowd) prayed with us, which had put the seal of him being one of my favorite artist.
Did I mention the man is beautiful? :)

Although I was exited to see all of those famous people, I kept in mind that I was here to worship God, my Lord not the people. Believe me, you can get so much into exitement that it might happen that you forget the real reasons why you are worshiping and without knowing you are enjoying the music yet you are not worshiping in true God. I was truly in awe with the works of God and the special experience of applying him in the smallest things ever. I don't mean to start preaching although I am a pastor's child :)

Vickie, my baby cakes was just thousands away from me, but seriously I kept on thinking that she should have been there with me, because we always talk about his music and sometimes how....manly he is (I laughed writing this part). Believe it or not, when Jeremy Camp walked on that stage, I had my mouth down low hanging and yet I didn't scream. Woof I am relief that I still have some self control.
I took plenty pictures of him and It would have even awesome if I shooke this man's hands, I think I would have battle my eyeleshes and just be cool. Ugh What a nerd I am :)

Besides the awesome time at the concert, I don't ever remember the last time I've "bobbed" my head to rock songs because last week-end had definitely break the record of my head bopping to any songs. I had the chance to see Hawk Nelson in concert, I love their strong urge of having a good time on set. One of the thing that I found very couraging is seing young people my age taking a stand to tell the world about God, that God is for the young and the old. I love the fact that I can still have a rock out party using Christian bands and song ithout worrying of any cuss words, reference to anything sexual. Therefore, I think they have been put to my list of one of my favorite band with Fireflight on the same list.I think that from now on, the guitarist from Jeremy Camp band and I are officially a couple.....in my head of course......right.He had a head full of brown soft curls and He played very well.
All right everyone I hope that you are having a blast this week-end
FunnieSophie :)
