XOXO ♥ Cherrie
In the last 20 years of living, I’ve learned, loved, hated, swore, killed (insects, lol), partied, drank, smoked, laughed ‘til I almost peed my panties, done things that scared the living crap out of me, and I’ll leave it at that, since I could go on for about another hundred pages. I grew up thinking life was always going to suck for me, always going to go the other direction, always going to be the things I don’t want.
But life always has its surprises. I’ve managed to get through the toughest times in my life with the help from God, and my family and friends, who I absolutely cannot live without. I owe them my entire life for everything they’ve ever done for me, and continue to do. I love lending people a hand and sharing my life stories with the world, in hopes that I’ll inspire at least one person, because to me, that’s more than enough.
I’ve been singing since I was 5 years old. I remember singing ‘minus-one’ on this big ghetto machine that my dad owned, and he’d record it on a cassette, and we’d mail it to our relatives in Philippines. When they received it, they’d call and tell my parents how good I sounded. Fifteen years later, and I’m still singing my heart out. I sing for fun, I sing to express, I sing to be happy. I’m so thankful for my dad who first taught me how to carry a tune, and at 5 years of age, I didn’t know what he was talking about half the time. Nonetheless, I’m proud to have this God given talent, and share it with the whole world.
My world revolves solely around my family and friends and everyone who loves me. I thank God every day and night for bringing them into my life. They truly are the angels my life needs. No matter what the situation, they’re there, needed or not. They listen, they talk, they share, the laugh, they’re them. They’re REAL. I’ve surrounded myself with too many fakes in the past, that I’ve mastered the game. Not one plastic exists in my life. My boyfriend is the sweetest thing. My girls are amazing. My boys crack me up. My family loves me with their whole heart. And I love all of them, and nothing, absolutely nothing, is going to change that.
I started this blog about a year ago? I think. I always had a thing for webpages, HTML, java, ftp, all that techie jazz, and I realized tumblr was probably the closest thing, since I drifted away from all that crazy HTML stuff. I felt like starting a diary, but obviously, not a private one. I want the world to know what I’m thinking, what I’m doing, who I’m with. I want the world to know Me. Hate it, or love it, this is the girl behind the words. This is me.
