About Me



My name is Meliedy, some COOL KICK ASS PEOPLE call me Mel. My family calls me Chinnie, Ching, or Kitchinnie (don't ask... long story). I moved from New York City to Clearwater, FL over a year ago but it still feels like I am new to the area. There's so much to discover, so much to learn. I love it here, I love the sunrise, sunset, the beaches, and most importantly my new found freedom. I needed a change of pace from New York City and Clearwater seemed to fit the profile. I love New York, always have and always will, but after living there for most of my life I figured that it's time for me to branch out and fly away from the nest to test my new wings. Therefore, Clearwater it is. But New York will always be HOME to me, IT'S THE BEST FUCKIN' CITY IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!! . Enough about that and let me tell you something about me. I am not a morning person. I fall for boys who says the right words easily, sometimes... even when it's the right words at the wrong time. I often go over my cell phone minutes. I often sing off note but it will not stop me from singing your ears off. When I’m bored, I like to bother people. I also like making stupid, silly, witty, and perverted comments. I love to laugh, I talk to myself most of the time (don't worry... myself doesn't answer back), and I have a very perverted mind, name it and I'll automatically think something sexual of it (my mind is always in the gutter). I try to live life to fullest. Sometimes, I go over my boundaries and learn life's lessons the hard way. I have a lot of patience but not on the road while I'm driving (Florida people can't fuckin drive). I'm not pushy, I just don't like being ignored. But despite all these little annoyances of mine, YOU’LL LOVE ME. It takes time to REALLY REALLY get to know me but YOU WILL LOVE ME because I am cool as hell and very open minded. I am pretty laid back and easy to get along with. I'm very caring and sometimes I care too much for my own good. I'm generous, passionate, and loyal. I am very FAMILY ORIENTED , I love my family very much and there is nothing in the world that I wouldn't do for them. I am not a brat and I don’t get mad at people easily. I believe that people deserve a second chance no matter how much they FUCKED UP. We are all humans and we’re all capable of making mistakes. I don’t judge people and I don’t like to be judged by people. I am very simple and easy to please. I am very quiet at first, but sometimes first impressions can be deceiving. ..UPPERCASEMy shyness may come off as bitchy and arrogance. But if people just find the time to sit down and talk to me, they will find out that I am not this bitchy person that they may think I am. THINGS I LOVE:
1. I love my family unconditionally. I know that they will always be there for me and I for them. My mother is the true light of my heart. She's my true hero. I wish that I can do something to repay her for all the love, support and comfort that she had given me. She's the bravest woman that I know. I hope that someday, I'll be the same mother to my child as she is to me.
2. I LOVE BOTH MY NEICE AND NEPHEW SOO MUCH... they are the joy of our family.
3. I love my friends. I do believe that they are the family that you get to choose. There are times when we all have our disagreements and miscommunications, but I LOVE MY BITCHES. They got my back and I got theirs.
4. I LOVE NEW YORK. The dirty streets of Manhattan. The white snow that falls from the sky but once it hits the ground it turns into a brown muddy slush. The unbearable cold during the winter. The smell of the sewer during the summer. The polluted East and Hudson River. IT'S HOME. It will always be home and I love it. Where else can you get Thai or Chinese or Italian food at 4AM? It's the city that never sleeps and it's the best city in the whole world!!!
- "New York City is all about sex. People getting it, people trying to get it, people who can't get it. No wonder it's called the city that never sleeps, because it's too busy trying to get laid". - Carrie Bradshaw
- "You know that point in your life when you realize that the house that you grew up in isn't really your home anymore? All of a sudden even though you have some place to put your shit in, that idea of home is gone. You'll see when you move out. It just sort of happens one day, one day it's just gone and you can never get it back. It's like you get homesick for a place that doesn't exists. I mean it's like this right passage you know. You wont have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for your kids, for the family that you start, it's like a cycle or something. I miss the idea of it. Maybe that's all a family really is, a group of people who misses the same imaginary place" - Andrew Largeman
5. THE BEACH
6. Sunrise that over looks Tampa Bay (see pic below)
7. Sunsets on the beach.
8. Walking barefoot on the sand.
THINGS I HATE:
1. I hate two faced people; all I ask is for you to be straight with me if you expect me to do the same.
2. I HATE FUCKING DRAMA. If I wanted drama, I’ll turn on the TV and watch a soap opera.
3. I hate being mothered, I already have a mother and I love her to death and she lives in New York. If I wanted to be mothered, I’ll go up to New York and get that from my real mother.
4. I hate mind games. Just tell me where I stand.
5. I hate assholes and dicks; they are not worth my time.
6. Fake people.
7. Ice on the road (why do you think I left NY?)
8. I HATE TRAFFIC. I swear man, people in Florida can't drive for shit.
9. I hate being ignored.
10. I hate myself for letting myself cross my boundaries when it comes to men.
11. I hate falling in love with men that are not good for me.
12. I hate being taken advantaged of.
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken, probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much! and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

My Interests

"that's life. if nothing else, its life. it's real, and sometimes it fuckin' hurts, but it's sort of all we have" - garden state"PROMISE yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. look at the sunny side of everything and make YOUR optimism come true. THINK ONLY OF THE BEST, WORK ONLY FOR THE BEST, AND EXPECT ONLY THE BEST. forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you!" - christian d. larson
"i had to do something – something that would make time pass, that would help me wait. wait, this is the first lesson i had learned about love. the day drags along, you make thousands of plans, you imagine every possible conversation, you promise to change your behavior in certain ways – you feel more and more anxious until your loved one arrives. but by then, you don’t know what to say. the hours of waiting have been transformed into tension. the tension become fear, and fear makes you embarrassed about showing affection" - an excerpt from paulo coelho's 'by the river piedra, i sat down and wept""There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer. No disease that enough love will not heal. No door that enough love will not open. No gulf that enough love will not bridge. No wall that enough love will not throw down. No sin that enough love will not redeem. It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble. How hopeless the outlook. How muddled the tangle. How great the mistake. A sufficient realisation of love will dissolve it all. If only one could love enough you would be the happiest and most powerful being in the world." -Emmett Fox
