My gifts I'm very thankful for...including a man I thank God for

The picture above is of me and my boy Michael in June of 2009. He was 22 y/o and I was 25 y/o. Yep, he's born in 1986.

Also above are the precious gift my sister got me "the cocoa mix" next to my candy which...is partially opened. Even though my goal is to be 125lbs, I'll always be known for my ability to eat the chocolatyist thing in the world in 1 big slice. Yes, my sis, me, and my little brother went to a restaurant while my parents were away, and I ordered a slice of chocolatey cake and they brought out a GIANT slice of triple chocolate cake and everyone looked shocked at me 'cause I ate the entire slice. Too bad I can't get away with that and not gain any weight. (looks smuggily) But I still hold the world record...

Again a pic of my chocolate cake that looked so good I took a bite, spit it out, and realized it's soap.

Also, above is my book "Anatomica" which my parents bought me in 2008. I'm going to major in health care and become a heart surgeon or family practicioner.

Having FUN FUN FUN in the Cali sun! Thanks sis

Halo Everyone! Today went grrrrreat! I have WONDERFUL classmates and WONDERFUL teachers. The latest classmate I'm not too thrilled with. He said "I don't need to be here. So let's get everything over with" yesterday. Today he faced the fact that he has to come and slept during a class. I don't see how he can possibly be unhappy. Everyone's friendly and the teachers are very dedicated and devoted to help others get all better.

My favorite teacher is this HOT guy who looks in his mid thirties but is in his mid forties. He could even pass for a 20 something year old and has all white hair already. But, seriously, he's not only hot, but he's very helpful. Today he was teaching "Self Affirmations" (e. "I love and accept myself with all my flaws") and seen my friend sleeping and said "I guess I'm going to practice some self affirmations". That joke made my day and again, not 'cause he's hot.

The classes help to teach people how to deal with life and untangle peoples' problems. They give us handouts every day. Today one of my teachers handed out a paper titled "101 Stress Relievers". Some examples of what's on the paper are = "Get up 15 minutes early", Keep a journal of thoughts and feelings", and "Sing a song". Yesterday my teacher handed out a page with some mottos, one of them being "With every rising of the sun. Think your life as just begun" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

I want to thank my big sis for sending me 2 presents. One of them was in a box, I saw it, bit it, and the realized it was soap. ;-D Seriously, mom can tell you 'cause she was there. It's a chocolate smelling soap that looks like a creamy slice of chocolate cake. I LOVE IT!! I'm going to use it on a special occasion. Thank you sis also for the hot cocoa mix you gave me. I'm waiting for it to cool down but it tastes delicious. I didn't think you'd get me anything, so thanks again. Kiss your cat Ellis and dog Riley for me.

I'm back with my man again. I was talking yesterday with my teacher about how I was feeling sad, and each time I mentioned my man's name I appeared happy and my life was happier with him in my life. Long time ago he would call me several times a day (back in June of 2009). I got scared away and I need some space. I stopped returning his calls and yesterday called him up and he said "I'm very happy you called". So, we're going out again as boyfriend and girlfriend. He talked to me about how he joined a hockey team, last year joined field n track, and this year a few weeks from now is going to join a basketball team with me. Unfortunately, it's too late to join the hockey team with him. We get to see each other 2x a week. On Wednesday in the evening for 1 1/2 hours we are in bible study in his church. It's a Baptist church and I was baptized there in July of 2009. On Sunday we spend 3 1/2 hours there (before 1 1/2 hours of church, is bible study again. His church members really like me and when I stopped seeing my boy, they called me wondering why I hadn't gone to church. I heard the voice mail but ignored it. Michael (my boy) is 23 years old, and lives in Sacramento, and is more happy about being in a close relationship than most men his age. I mean most men his age are looking for a "1 night stand" and "friendship with benefits" and he's not looking for that he's told me. He also is very emotional and sensitive. It's easy for him to talk about a long lost pet of his and start crying. He told me about a parakeet who was his best friend growing up and the bird died, and his parents promised to get him another one and never did. It was so cute he has so much tears over his pet parakeet. He can't have a parakeet where he's at right now.

Anyway, sis, I hope you enjoy the pics I'm posting up here of the gifts you sent me. There's also a pic I'm posting up of me and Michael. Take care All! Love ya! xxxx's God bless All!

Sincerely,
Elysia

Sick and Tired

Jan 4th, 2010 = Hello everyone. Happy New year all! I’m hangin’ there.
I was sick with a sore throat, stuffy nose (I can’t breathe through any of my nostrils right now), runny nose, sneezing, coughing, some rattling I my chestm some nausea. Right now I have stuffy nose, runny nose, a little rattling in my chest, Yesterdaywas terrible. However, I’ve been taking Amoxocillin and my sickness is getting better. I think tomorrow I’ll be able to go to my group meeting. The leader of the group called me today saying “you’ve missed two days and you have a history of missing classes so if you don’t come to class by Thursday, I’m going to have to drop you”. God’s been helping me get better faster and by tomorrow there;s a good chance I’ll be able to go. But, my parents have a good point, don’t go to class if you feel sick because you can get others sick.
I don’t know what my dad was thinking, but to cut costs, he took the water jugs that belong on our water machines, and filled them up with water from our front yard hose saying “No one will notice the difference”. The second that water entered my mouth before it got to the back of my mouth I spit it out. My dad said “It’s in your mind”. Then he tasted it and said “It does taste different”. So, he bought a case of water bottles from Sam’s Club.
Yesterday I popped the “Steel Magnolias” DVD in my TV in my bedroom, and I admired M’Lynn how she loved her daughter. I put myself in M’Lynn’s shoes and I suddenly felt like I’m a mother and I know when I have children I’ll be caring for them like that. That’s not to forget my mom. I call my mom a angel.
I also watched the movie “What About Bob?” with Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfus. It always makes me laugh about the strong attachment Bob (AKA Bill Murray) has of his psychologist and psychiatrist Leo Marvin (AKA Richard Dreyfus). If you like comedy, you’ll love this one. Bob’s innocent and is so grateful of his doctor that he follows him everywhere, gets on his doctor’s family’s good side, and drives his doctor crazy (& I mean “crazy”) that his doctor tries to blow him up but of course is unsuccessful of that. But at the end of the movie, just when doctor Marvin thinks it couldn’t get any worse, it does.
Jan 8th, 2010 = Halo EVERYONE. I’m better than I was on Sunday, but still congested, stuffy nose, and rattling in my chest but not my lungs. Thank God that my sore throat went away because I’d get nauseaus from it. I’ve been continuing to take my Amoxocillin, but it comes and goes. I feel I’ll be able to go back to my group meetings this Monday. The reason the group hasn’t kicked me out is because I have a doctor’s note.
Yesterday when I went to the doc’s office, I was weighed in at 229lbs instead of the 260 something pounds last year. I’m trying to get down to 125lbs. I baked Duncan Hines brownies yesterday regardless that I was sick, and it didn’t make me any worse. Unfortunately, I got my mom sick.
Anyway, I’m going to go rest. God bless. Take care. Goodbye.
Sincerely,
Elysia

My myspace info on my profile page

Halo EVERYONE! My name’s Elysia (pronounced “El-ee-see-uh”, I’m 26 years old, and I live (born and raised) in Sacramento, CA. My name comes from the Greek myth of the “Elysian Fields” which was told as heaven. According to www.hyperdictionary.com (which is the best dream dictionary also that I’ve found), “Elysian” means “heavenly”. Hence the reason I call my blog “Living Life the Elysian Way”. My b-day is in October of 1983 young. I was born around Halloween day, and love Halloween time. My favorite costume to wear on Halloween is “Angel”, and I LOVE to give out candy to the kids (NOT teenagers and adults!), and decorate my house. I have 6 best friends I met last year (5 of them ladies and one a gentleman). However, the more the merrier. I’m looking for online friends (women and men) to meet offline, however, in a public place like Starbuck’s. I don’t discriminate by gender, religion, sexual orientation, and so on. To describe me in words, I’m kind, helpful, friendly, thoughtful, protective (of family and friends), and determined to see my goals become a reality. I’m currently single but am only looking for friends. I want to be a doctor of some sort whether it be a family practicioner, heart surgeon, or psychologist and psychiatrist. I want to have three kids between the ages of 30-35. Gender doesn’t matter, whatever God gives me. I’m currently 229lbs and want to get down to 125lbs. Last year, I weighed 258lbs. I am pro “girl power” and pro “Women’s RIGHTS!”. However I’ve kept all that to my family, friends, and inside of me. I know every living thing deserves rights = plant life, trees, ocean life, animals, bugs, insects. I know I’m a girly girl by: wearing make-up, jewelry, pink, body spray, and am emotional when seeing a romance movie (Somewhere in Time) or book (my pick is “The Manning Grooms” by Debbie MaComber). My favorite colors are Neon Pink, Bubble Gum Pink, Forest and Pine Green, and Red. I can never get enough of glitter too (even on my body and face). My favorite body spray is “The Healing Garden’s Green Tea spray”, and my favorite perfume to wear is “Giorgio Beverly Hills” and a chocolate scented one that Bath and Body Works sold at Christmas time a few years ago. I don’t like to blow dry, use mousse, curl, and hairspray my hair because I like to keep it healthy. My favorite shampoos are Pantene ProV Volume, Garnier’s Fructise shampoo. I prefer to wear dressy clothes always, but only have one kinda dressiest shirt, and that’s my “The Beatles” shirt. I’d dress up more if it weren’t so expensive. My favorite magazine is “Woman’s World”. My favorite non-fiction book is “One Year Daily Insights with Zig Ziglar”, my favorite music are oldies (e. The Beatles, Beach Boys, Michael Jackson, Dave Clark 5, Patsy Cline). I like the beat of Madonna’s music but not the words. I also love soft rock. Pop, Reggae. My fave food is Cheeseburgers and fries, pizza, Capn’ Crunch cereal, Quaker Oatmeal Maple & Brown Sugar hot oatmeal, Bageldogs, hotdogs w/ cheese inside. I can’t stand male pigs with egos. They’re always “more power to you!” to other guys about finding a younger woman (in other words “cradle robbing”), getting paid more. Guys I have crushes on are: Aaron Carter, Devon Sawa, Taylor Hanson, Zac Efron, Matthew M… (from movie “Girlfriend’s Past”), and for a older guy, Anderson Cooper from CNN (www.ac360.com). My fave genre movies are comedy, action, romance. The worst TV show are the beauty pageants of little girls like “Toddlers and Tiaras”,. They’re dressed up in gobs of make up, Barbie like dresses, hair permed, and taught by their mother’s to “strut their stuff”. They basically teach their daughters at an early age to be sluts. It’s bad enough as it is to have predators eyeing these little girls, My fave names for my first girl or boy, are : Ashley Amber…(for a girl), and Nicholas Nathan…(for a boy). My fave websites are : www.beliefnet.com, www.joelosteen.com, www.ehow.com, www.craigslist.com, Yahoo Answers, www.cnn.com, www.hyperdictionary.com, www.cosmopolitan.com … My favorite aroma therapy scent is Mint, Green Tea, Pine, Vanilla. If I became rich, I wouldn’t want a mansion, but not a shack either. I’d want a 2 story, 5 bedroom house, in a middle class neighborhood, with more room than my house has now. That reminds me of when as kids, I’d play “MansionHouseShackApartment” aka “MASH” game. My #1 personality trait is “Nurturing”. I don’t wish bad upon anyone, I hope everyone goes to heaven, I know I know I’ll never be an evil person, I love wearing as much make-up as possible and necklaces and earrings with bracelets, my heroes in my life are my parents, brother, and sister. know I’m a true practicing Christian who believes in perfecting myself in Jesus’s footsteps I love to sing country and pop music and I love singing Madonna’s karaoke pop songs. I’m completely happy with how I look except for the fact that I’m overweight. I don’t care how much book smarts someone has over me because in God’s book, love wins over books. I'd like to try singing on stage someday a few times at least for fun. I currently have not performed on stage since I was 19, but would love to give it a try and see what happens. Hey, everyone’s looking for a loving person who’s friendly and accepting of loving people. I only am attracted to White AKA Caucasian men but am completely not a racist. I know friends are good to have because you can love them and talk about everything of life. I’m in school right now M-F. I love writing cards (especially Christmas cards) and letters and decorating them with stickers and glitter (of course!). I believe in keeping my life moderated without doing things in excess, although I’m not perfect and sometimes watch the CNN too much. I’d love to meet other singers and/or musicians. my hair short like Jamie Lee Curtis is now. I love making people laugh (I once said “The cat says he’s suffering from Gigantism instead of being overweight”). I love to nurture all animals and plants (especially my mom’s plant Lilly, my succulent cactus Amber, all my mom’s Rose bushes, and vegetable plants (especially BIG MAX PUMPKIN PATCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)). I want one big Saint Bernard and one small dog. I adore Chihuahuas and Daschunds. I plan to keep my future daughter or son puppy an indoor dog especially my bedroom dog since I spend most of my time in my bedroom online or watching TV. My favorite zoo animal are Black bears. My favorite farm animal is goats. Spiders scare the living day lights out of me especially the Goliath Bird Eater. I know mountains are grand and beautiful because they have so much greenery and I feel in awe at what a grand creation God made, mountains. My favorite mountain is Mount Rainier by Seattle, Washington, U.S.A. I’m in awe by the power of the cyclone AKA tornadoes, but I’m afraid of them. I consider myself Brilliantly wise but will forever be working on it more and more… I’m loved by most as everyone’s best friend, but am disliked by very few. I try to be everyone’s bestest friend.. My favorite school subjects in school are Writing, Science second, and 3rd Math. However, I also love reading about History (e. Castles and stuff, mideval times, and wars). My favorite hobby is doing my best in school to get A pluses all the time. No, I’m not kissing up to anyone, I just love to learn and express myself. I’m honest to a fault. I know miracles are REAL. I love visiting the mountains and country like Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon but because I live so far, I’m lucky if I get to visit Lake Tahoe, Nevada during the fall. My favorite seasons are 1st Spring and 2nd Autumn. My family is truly upmost precious to me. I love to talk and play with my cousins’ children. I try to see the good in everyone I meet. I live to make people smile ear to ear. I know I’m very funny and am a true practicing Christian person. I in the 90s percent catch on to instructions the first time I hear and see them. I love hearing men speak French and in my opinion it’s the most romantic language. I’d love to visit Rome, Italy and definitely visit the Vatican. I know destiny is real but also know that once you’re there, it’s up to you to make it happen. I look for both sides of every story. I know I’m a true at heart girly girl. Time is precious so cherish it and use it wisely because once it’s spent you can never get it back. I know people should take the “religion” factor seriously and try to figure out if God and Jesus are real because God wants you to know if he and Jesus are REAL. I also know moral values should be thought of extremely. I know being healthy is at upmost importance because before you can help others you must help yourself first. True happiness lies within yourself. I think each and every person in your life was put there for a reason, discovering why is the key!...love is what the heart wants but our heads like to trick us listen to your heart its usually trying to tell you something…hearts may break but they also completely recover…talk to your elders bc with time comes wisdom, and they always have the best stories…Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans…just live each day to its fullest and forgive quickly everyone deserves a second chance…don’t hold grudges it only brings YOU down…love life, I DO and I’m here for the ride and I try to enjoy every single minute of it. I have made many mistakes but my regrets are few…I’m perfectly imperfect and a total work in progress but rest assured that this lady will truly be lucky in love more & more forever. If you get to know me, you’ll know I’m confidently super nice.
Who I'd like to meet:
My Kinda Man = Funny (in a innocent way not critical) Kind not critical of others (e. calling me okay, but a 400 lb woman a piece of trash, is a BIG turn OFF). Helpful Has a giving heart (plusses if you volunteer and pluses if you’re giving in your college major = say, doctor. You must be on the “giver not a taker” side).
