5 years friends, 2 years lovers...Happy Anniversary

This will be one of the few posts that I will share

my love for my man.

The few people that are extremely close to me know

the journey I have gone through with him.

He is my best friend, lover, and my everything.

I am so proud of him and support anything he wants to do.

I admire that he respects me, still sprung by me

(which surprises me every now and then)

and really values my feelings and opinions.

We work together trying to build our future dreams.

We are so happy that our families support both of us.

I had named a star for him for our anniversary.

Let me share a small preview of our journey...

2008: Friends for 2 years and he was moving to Texas

after he had retired from the military. I was sad... but...

2009: He decided that Hawaii was were he had to be. We were still friends.

He had to figure out his life but I stood by his side knowing

things would work out for him somehow.

I asked him to be my date for my Debutant Ball for BBG.

May 4, 2009: Officially yours! I came back from Canada and he wanted

to be my man! Yay!! Our single days were over!

We were a couple to take over the town. Big dreams!

2010: Then our life took a turn for the better.

We were expecting a baby girl.

What was shocking was that we both had the same

idea in our heads what we already wanted to name her.

We knew times would be hard,

but we would always be there for each other.

November 30, 2010: Beautiful was born! She has brought us closer

together. We can't think of our lives without her. She brings smiles to our faces.

Love is always here.

2011: We still here. May we always be together.

I love you babe!

What's going on???

Well a lot has been going on in my life. Let me first say I am extremely blessed by God.

He has blessed me with the perfect man that was made for me. I will probably go more into that later next week when our Anniversary comes up!

God has given me such a wonderful baby that is Growing so FAST! Sometimes I laugh at her thinking she is the biggest weirdo & I know she gets it from me. I sometimes look at her & can't believe she is my baby. She is extremely smart, advanced, fun, happy, shy, & most importantly healthy. She can't stay still with me but totally chills with her dad. Sometimes she looks at her daddy like she has this little crush on him by looking away and smiling. It's adorable. If you didn't already didn't know Beautiful has her own Facebook page. Just search "Beautiful Fa'amauia." That page is mainly made for my dad & mom but definitely so all her family & friends can keep update on my lil' monster.

Things that I have been doing lately:

-Started to do my own journal.

There things I will write online via Facebook, Twitter, Blog, Tumblr, etc. that share a lil' bit of me. But I'm starting to realize sharing to much of myself can make me lose myself. Also there too many things that I feel that either hurt or offend others. I guess it's to really vent out. Sometimes I have angry, negative feelings, but I truly feel those are things that should be personal. I don't like it when people use FB or whatever online outlet to vent out negative feelings. What you put out to the world will always be permanent! You can't take it back. (Unless your smart enough to delete it). I also always felt like I have multiple sides to me and I know this because I have so many outlets that share different things that don't really relate. Like things are screened because I know who is looking at it. Everything is put on consciously. Which is sad that I feel like I can't share my true self. But I truly think that like I said earlier it's better so I don't lose myself & more importantly I don't need everyone's comments & judgements. So Honestly you will never know the full real Nat Nat. And on a side note I will eventually will be doing some adventures like starting my own businesses where image is everything. Even my online image. And you never know if my man will become famous, things will change to more private.

-Just deleted my Twitter account

I thought Twitter was important to connect. But honestly having a personal twitter is actually feel like work. Like I honest feel like it's NOT worth it to have continually write something to keep followers. I really only knew maybe 10 people on there. I did like staying informed with info but now that these blogs and companies are making Facebook pages, I'd rather have that. And I just think it's ridiculous that these news people can say they got their info based off some celebrity's tweet. I don't want somebody to reference me from a tweet. And the whole thing bout replying to people by @ while your followers can see it. I think celebrities do it to show who they connect to by having a back and forth convo. Only thing I like bout twitter is the promoting of news and events. I think I just perfer the FB comments to each other. Like Oprah said "So many people are into the Celebradom of becoming famous." Like this whole idea of having everyone getting credit. What ever happened to giving credit to actual talent??? That's why I hate reality shows!! Especially about Housewives or families. I guess I value privacy & I think it promotes pop culture of women always fighting. Maybe I'll post on this later...

-Have Tumblr

You don't know what that is, look it up. I get obsessed look at some people's Tumblr. It gives me inspiration on everything. Facebook me if you want my link.

-Still Supporting my Man

Self-explanatory.

-Finally came up with my Business Concept

I don't want to give this away because I don't want to jinx it. But I have officially voiced it to my man. Which means that words have power behind what you say. So never say things just because but mean it. I'm getting excited because I got my desk all set up. Just talked today to the lady I want to do my internship with in a few months. And I've been doing lots of research and things to get it together. My body is just feeling so much excitement.

- Dealing with Past Relationships

Everyone grows and moves forward. And I feel that yes I have made bad mistakes to people. Really did bad things to people even those I were friends with or men I had relationships with. But one night a couple weeks ago I talked to my man bout things we had gone through & I have now come to peace knowing that everything was meant to be either as a learning lesson and let go or to help build it up. I was blessed to reconnect with a girlfriend that I had hurt 2 year ago. I'll just say that I'm very happy that we have reconnected and can build from where we left off. It was good to catch up. As for the men. They said hi. Lol. I don't want to talk bout it cause one is my best friend and that's another story but I'll talk bout it in a different way later. It will do with used to being the "other woman." I think every girl goes through that. The other ex said hi via twitter. Honestly that was the only way he could say hi. Now that's cut too. Sorry. My man is more important than past relationships.

If you read this whole post....thanks. lol. It was long. Promise my new posts won't ever be this long again!!

MINDOPENER: What happened to Dating?

I read this and was touched. I remember when I was dating. And he always wanted things private.

I do remember trying to understand what his texts were saying.

Just know that seeing someone and making a call is more GROWN and respectful

than a text. Texting should be a last resort, even among friends.

I was shooting a scene in my new film, No Strings Attached, in which I say to Natalie Portman,

“If you miss me. you can’t text, you can’t email, you can’t post it on my Facebook wall. If you really miss me, you come and see me.”

I began to think of all of the billions of intimate exchanges sent daily via fingers and screens, bouncing between satellites and servers. With all this texting, emailing, and social networking, I started wondering, are we all becoming so in touch with one another that we are in danger of losing touch?

It used to be that boy met girl and they exchanged phone numbers. Anticipation built. They imagined the entire relationship before a call ever happened. The phone rang. Hearts pounded. “Hello?” Followed by a conversation that lasted two hours but felt like two minutes and would be examined with friends for two weeks. If all went well, a date was arranged. That was then.

Now we exchange numbers but text instead of calling because it mitigates the risks of early failure and eliminates those deafening moments of silence. Now anticipation builds. Bdoop. “It was NICE meeting u” Both sides overanalyze every word. We talk to a friend, an impromptu Cyrano: “He wrote nice in all caps. What does that mean? What do I write back?” Then we write a response and delete it 10 times before sending a message that will appear 2 care, but not 2 much. If all goes well, a date will be arranged.

Whether you like it or not, the digital age has produced a new format for modern romance, and natural selection may be favoring the quick-thumbed quip peddler over the confident, ice-breaking alpha male. Or maybe we are hiding behind the cloak of digital text and spell-check to present superior versions of ourselves while using these less intimate forms of communication to accelerate the courting process. So what’s it really good for?

There is some argument about who actually invented text messaging, but I think it’s safe to say it was a man. Multiple studies have shown that the average man uses about half as many words per day as women, thus text messaging. It eliminates hellos and goodbyes and cuts right to the chase. Now, if that’s not male behavior, I don’t know what is. It’s also great for passing notes. there is something fun about sharing secrets with your date while in the company of others. think of texting as a modern whisper in your lover’s car.

Sending sweet nothings on Twitter or Facebook is also fun. in some ways, it’s no different than sending flowers to the office: You are declaring your love for everyone to see. Who doesn’t like to be publicly adored. Just remember that what you post is out there and there’s some stuff you can’t un-see.

But the reality is that we communicate with every part of our being, and there are times when we must use it all. When someone needs us, he or she needs all of us. There’s no text that can replace a loving touch when someone we love is hurting.

We haven’t lost romance in the digital age, but we may be neglecting it. In doing so, antiquated art forms are taking on new importance. The power of a hand-written letter is greater than ever. It’s personal and deliberate means more than an email or text ever will. It has a unique scent. It requires deciphering. But, most important, it’s flawed There are errors in handwriting, punctuation, grammar, and spelling that show our vulnerability. And vulnerability is the essence of romance. It’s the art of being uncalculated, the willingness to look foolish, the courage to say, “This is me, and I’m interested in you enough to show you my flaws with the hope that you may embrace me for all that I am but, more importantly, all that I am not.”

MINDOPENER: "Tapped"

I know that people have been sort of motivated to have reuseable bottles

to help reduce bottle water in the environment.

One of my best friends Mike Wash recommended I watch "Tapped"

I started watching it was shocked how much corporations

taking advantage and how even governments are pushing

recycling programs.

What's more sad is seeing clips of bottles on beaches.

Well I decided to not only complain but give you a possible solution.

There is a bottle with it's own built in filter.

That way you can always use basic tap water.

It's called Bobble.

I totally agree with what she says bout men.

"And when I say a man, I mean,

there are men disguised as men, but they're

really little boys."
