♡Jordanna♥

Hi I am originally from the Dominican Republic and have living in the states for 20 years. I just obtained my AA in Liberal Arts and I am a junior at Penn State studying Psychological and Social Sciences. I am usually a laid-back, sweet girl but when I need to get serious, I do. I have a small, tight group of friends though I am always open to meeting new people. I can be shy at first until I get to know the person. My interests include reading, listening to music, going to the movies, baseball, and I love taking pictures. I am always known to carry a camera when the event calls for it. Anyway, I can be pretty cool until someone gets on my bad side. I am not spiteful or anything like that but I can be very vicious when the wrong buttons are pushed. When it comes to love, I am very loyal but I will not be disrespected either. I will speak my mind and sometimes I will lose my cool if I feel that it is what has to be done. I also have some trust issues, especially when it comes to relationships. I tend to get a little jealous sometimes, depending on the circumstances. I am very giving and loving while at the same have certain standards that I set for myself and for others around me but definitely not high-maintenance. I like to smile and laugh a lot yet I also can be emotional. Sometimes you may not see my tears because I can be a private person. If you happen to see or hear me crying, all I need is someone to talk-definitely not the time for lectures. I do not like to play games nor do I expect that others play games with me. I am a great friend and I try to be a good girlfriend unless there no tensions in the relationship. I like to talk things over if I have a problem and vice versa. My thinking is that if you have an issue with me,talk to me directly and not through someone else. I feel that when talking to other people leads to misunderstandings and drama. Trust me, I have been there and it is not worth the trouble. People think that I am attractive but there is more to me than meets the eye. I want to have a great time with family, friends, and meet a wide range of people that I can learn from and that they can learn me from me as well. I have an older brother and two younger sisters. I have many aunts, uncles, cousins...etc. It's awesome when all of us gets together because anything can happen. I still have a lot of family in the Dominican Republic and I try to go back every two years to visit. It's such a different atmosphere there and it's just incredible coming from two different cultures. I take pride that I come from such a beautiful country and that I have been in the United States for almost 20 years. My friends tease me because I speak Spanglish a lot when talking to family. They find it intriguing when I just switch from Spanish to English and vice versa. There was a point that I just wanted to speak English but my parents would not let lose my Spanish and I could never stop thanking them enough for doing that. I may live in the suburbs but I love the city, especially New York. I love Philly as well but there is no other place as New York City. I love to listen to the rain, especially when as I am falling asleep-it's relaxing. I do have a temper just like any feisty Dominican like me would. I can also be very stubborn but when wrong, I can usually admit it and apologize to those I hurt. This does mean that I won't go down without a fight however but that does depend on the circumstances. I may say something in the heat of the moment,then regret it later. On the other hand,if you are going to argue with me-back up your arguments/reasons for arguing. Don't just sit there and argue with me with no valid reasons or sometimes even examples especially if I was at fault for something. Bring it with you all you got and I will bring it on the same or harder. I am also a volunteer for the American Red Cross by donating blood every two months. It is one of the ways of giving back and helping those in need. I am a flirt and I have no intention whatsoever of changing that about myself.Either you love that about me or you don't-it is that simple. So, that is some info on me. If you want to know more, leave me a message or send me a request. I feel that all of us are in need of self-improvement along the way. I know that I am not perfect and I don't pretend to be. I have my flaws just like everyone else. On a last note, I am who I am-Don't try to change me, judge me, or try to understand me without really getting to know me. I will change for the better mostly for myself, sometimes for others but only if & when I decide I need to change. You don't like me ? Then walk the other way because there are others that want to get to know me. Most of the time, I get along better with guys then with girls-always been that way. I am not sure why that is. It is definitely something that I wouldn't want to change though. J oyful

Extended Network BannersThey call it the "Quarter-Life Crisis". It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now. You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you. You look at your job...and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't. One minute, you are insecure and the next, secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward. You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lay in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person. One night stands and random hook-ups start to look cheap. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself, and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender. What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out. ~Anon.

Te deseo primero que ames, y que amando, también seas amado. Y que, de no ser así, seas breve en olvidar y que después de olvidar, no guardes rencores. Deseo, pues, que no sea así, pero que sí es, sepas ser sin desesperar. Te deseo también que tengas amigos, y que, incluso malos e inconsecuentes sean valientes y fieles, y que por lo menos haya uno en quien confiar sin dudar Y porque la vida es así, te deseo también que tengas enemigos. Ni muchos ni pocos, en la medida exacta, para que, algunas veces, te cuestiones tus propias certezas. Y que entre ellos, haya por lo menos uno que sea justo, para que no te sientas demasiado seguro Te deseo además que seas útil, más no insustituible. Y que en los momentos malos, cuando no quede más nada, esa utilidad sea suficiente para mantenerte en pie. Igualmente, te deseo que seas tolerante, no con los que se equivocan poco, porque eso es fácil, sino con los que se equivocan mucho e irremediablemente, y que haciendo buen uso de esa tolerancia, sirvas de ejemplo a otros. Te deseo que siendo joven no madures demasiado de prisa, y que ya maduro, no insistas en rejuvenecer, y que siendo viejo no te dediques al desespero. Porque cada edad tiene su placer y su dolor y es necesario dejar que fluyan entre nosotros. Te deseo de paso que seas triste. No todo el año, sino apenas un día. Pero que en ese día descubras que la risa diaria es buena, que la risa habitual es sosa y la risa constante es malsana. Te deseo que descubras, con urgencia máxima, por encima y a pesar de todo, que existen, y que te rodean, seres oprimidos, tratados con injusticia y personas infelices. Te deseo que acaricies un perro, alimentes a un pájaro y oigas a un jilguero erguir triunfante su canto matinal, porque de esta manera, sentirás bien por nada. Deseo también que plantes una semilla, por más minúscula que sea, y la acompañes en su crecimiento, para que descubras de cuantas vidas está hecho un árbol. Te deseo, además, que tengas dinero, porque es necesario ser práctico, Y que por lo menos una vez por año pongas algo de ese dinero frente a ti y digas: "Esto es mío". sólo para que quede claro quién es el dueño de quién. Te deseo también que ninguno de tus defectos muera, pero que si muere alguno, puedas llorar sin lamentarte y sufrir sin sentirte culpable. Te deseo por fin que, siendo hombre, tengas una buena mujer, y que siendo mujer, tengas un buen hombre, mañana y al día siguiente, y que cuando estén exhaustos y sonrientes, hablen sobre amor para recomenzar. Si todas estas cosas llegaran a pasar, no tengo más nada que desearte. Victor HugoSTOP KEEPING SCORE!!! Life isn't about keeping score. It's not about how many friends you have. Or how many people call you. Or how accepted or unaccepted you are. Not about if you have plans this weekend. Or if you're alone. It isn't about who your family is or how much money they have. Or what kind of car you drive. Or where you're sent to school. It's not about how beautiful or ugly you are. Or what clothes you wear, what shoes you have on, or what kind of music you listen to. It's not about if your hair is blonde, red, black, brown, or green. Or if your skin is too light or too dark. It's not about what grades you get, how smart you are, how smart everyone else thinks you are, or how smart standardized tests say you are. Or if this teacher likes you, or if this guy/girl likes you. It's not about representing your whole being on a piece of paper and seeing who will "accept the written you". But life is about who you love and who you hurt. It's about who you make happy or unhappy purposefully. It's about keeping or betraying trust. It's about friendship, used as sanctity, or as a weapon. It's about what you say and mean, maybe hurtful, maybe heartening. About starting rumors and contributing to petty gossip. It's about what judgments you pass and why. And who your judgments are spread to.. But most of all, it's about using your life to touch or poison other people's hearts in such a way that could never occurred alone. Only you choose the way these hearts are affected and those choices are what life is all about. Reminding you to choose to help not to hurt, to love, not to hate...
glitter-graphics.comThe paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less. These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete. Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
