Shout-out and random things that come to mind. March 30, 2008

1-31-2008-078.jpg   Today was fun, I also want to start out by giving a shout out to one of the coolest people I know and you wish you knew. To my little cousin Nicky! It is his sweet sixteenth birthday today. Fun kid, we are closer then bubble in bubblegum yeah. If you are around when we are together, we will probably be arguing about something pretty silly. Even though we love each other so much we are more like brother and sister then cousins. Even though we have some good memories together like our vacation to Madera Beach for Labor Day weekend. That is one of my favorite memory with him, we saw a wild manatee in the ocean which was like 5 feet away from me in the water. So shout out to my home boy Asiababasia! Happy birthday Chicken!

We went to Dave & Busters and played video games for a good two hours. We surprised Chicken at D&B since he thought me and my family wouldn’t be joining him for his birthday. I did bake him some Brownies, well lets just say sitting in a hot car for a few hours over baked them and well they were hard as rocks. I now have to bake him another batch of brownies that is not rock solid. Also, fun news Nicky has Spring Break this coming week and my parents might be going on a trip on the sail boat. So, Nicky might come with us for a few days on the sailboat, that means I have someone to talk to. You might be thinking, but taK-tiK you and Chicken always fight. True, but we always have fun when we are together.  I will take a gazillion pictures which will drive him crazy, and he will keep poking me or tickling me the whole time. That is pretty much how it will work, we will have oodles of fun.

Also, I have been in extremely good moods if you have noticed lately. It is because things have been going pretty good so far. I am just pondering about how exactly I can try to change the world and or give back to the earth. I am trying to think, would it be THAT hard like everyone thinks it is or have they ever even tried? I mean how can you know what you can and can’t do if you never try?  Think about it, if everybody tried something that they thought they could never do but only in their dreams, what impact would they make? What if someone thought up of a theory and never tried it, would it have made a difference or would have it made it one closer in discovering something brilliant and never thought of before. I think more people should live in a state of mind in trying everything they can and are able to do. Even if you are not “able” to do it, still try to do it. (Please don’t take my advice to any extremes, I am not liable if you do. Think on your own, use the most powerful thing you can ever have which is your head.)

 

X-Rays! March 27, 2008

Filed under: fun, humor — taktikphotography @ 3:15 am

hahaha1.jpg  So I got some X-Rays of my back. Which is very scary, since I never had X-Rays before. Of coarse my back is screwed up like I predicted, but it has done some very little nerve damage. Which is better then no motor skills in my leg. So I do have a pinched nerve in my back that has been hurting me for 6 months now.  So today, I was X-Rayed, Reflexed, Pulled and tugged in many ways.  I just realized I have a major fear of Doctors even the kind that don’t have needles. I got this huge knot in my stomach when I went to my doctor, sadly it is still there.

So, basically Friday I have to go back to the guy that tortures me and my parents pay for. I know it is for the best and I wanted it, but it is just scary. I just wish and pray I don’t need more then 1 treatment. Pray for me and that I will heal fast and don’t need more then one treatment, because my doctor is nice I am just scared to death.

Note: Never put your kid through any kind of sport or dance for a long period of time. It screws up their back, and gives them problems later on. 

So now I am nervous for Friday and don’t want it to come, because I don’t want to get hurt. Ahhhh…..I can see it now it will take three nurses, the doctor and my mom to get me in the exam room. That would actually be pretty funny.

Well, tata for now!

 

Going green March 5, 2008

2309402794_256f6cf528.jpg I know everyone is thinking the same thing by now. That Hippie is at it again, you might not be as go green friendly then other people but think about it, if you just started recycling that would help this planet so much.

 This Spring I have a plan of action, and that is to start a new tradition. I want to plant a tree, or a bush, whatever it is. Something that my mom won’t kill because she won’t water it. Just a planet that just needs some water, sun, and love. It not only will look pretty, but it also will provide shade for who ever needs it and a home for a nest of birds.

Also, going green you might not be crazy about the whole sea turtle thing even though it is a big issue. Going green can simply mean something as easy as, turning off the lights and fan off when you leave the room. Not only are you helping your electric bill to decrease, you also are getting less dependant on electric. Why use lights when it is perfectly bright and sunny outside. Pull open those window blinds, open your windows don’t use your a/c as much. These little things will make a big difference even in your pocket book. 

So do this planet a favor and lend a helping hand by recycling, (Did I mention some metals when taken to a recycling drop off can actually earn you a few bucks?!) shutting off those lights and air conditioning. Open your windows and window blinds.

Say NO to plastic! Say YES to a cleaner and more resourceful future!

 

Easter is coming! March 5, 2008

2309402116_e9d863286e.jpg  Hop on the bunny train with me and do the bunny hop for old time sake. Lets make new memories this spring and spring forward and wait for the sun to come out and the flowers to bloom.

Easter for some reason is one of my favorite holidays. Christmas is my first, Thanksgiving and then Easter. Those three holidays I go all out and go crazy when it comes to baking. You name it i will or have baked it. I always make a cake, cupcakes, cookies, and alot more other sweets. I think it is my goal when I grow up to be like a person straight out of ‘Candy Land’ always having treats. I normally don’t eat everything I bake because if I did I would be put into acoma.

Christmas I bake: Chocolate covered Pretzels, Ginger bread dudes, (I call them dudes because I live in Florida) Sugar cookies, mini pecan pies, Snow Ball cookies, and (if your lucky) Orange chocolate cupcakes with a orange flavored home-made butter-cream icing.

Thanksgiving is more just pie and cake.

Easter I bake: Chocolate eggs, Cupcakes, Easter cake, (its a fruity cake that my mom makes more then me) cookies, and last year some other Hungarian treats.

So I am sooo excited to bake and make some new and different recipes. Yummy, my friends always get some. So don’t worry if you know me personally, you will get some. I am just really excited to try some cake decorating tricks I am learning. So watch out when I come around Easter time, Richard Simmons just LOVES me during the holiday seasons! LOL! (Get it?!)

Well that’s all for now!

 

Painting and drawing March 4, 2008

Filed under: art, fun — taktikphotography @ 1:49 am

hahaha.jpg  So today, I felt like opening up my art kit and to draw a tree. My drawing skills aren’t that great, but for some reason I found different ways to draw trees on youtube.com so it helped alot. I feel extremely creative after the art festival which was amazeingly fun. Also I discovered a Joe Picasso’s so I am very excited to go there soon and to let all the creative juices flow. Just have fun and to express myself.

I think everyone has a way to express yourself and it can be something different from drawing, painting, music, and etc. So I encourage you to do whatever you do and be creative this week because they relieve stress and can be fun. Try doing something creative this week, and tell me what you did and what you can do. It is like a weekly challange. This is just a really random blog and I hope you enjoyed it.

 

Good Reading March 3, 2008

me.jpg  So basically I am doing something I normally don’t do which is read more then one book at a time. I have to say both the books I have been reading has been extremly good. Like there is this one book called “Rave New World” so Sci-Fi but so good.

It also is a book that helps for SAT’s Vocab. I thought it would be some snooze cruise but it is really good, my mom at times have to tell me to stop reading because I have other things to do. I also am reading “Great Expectations” by Charles Dickenson really good, I  want to figure out what happens with Pip and Estella. URG! If you have read it don’t tell me, I really want to solve it out for myself. (It isn’t the abridged version, it is the freakin long version.) Those books are as good as a Jelly Chocolate truffle.

<Brk>

Also, I have been listening to Kate Nash lately. If you like Lilly Allen you will love Kate Nash. Her music video for “Pumkin Soup” it is so cute and hillarious. I can’t stop singing her songs in my head. They are so catchy.

 

Becoming Jane March 1, 2008

eyes.jpg  First of all, Jane Austin is the Bomb! If I could meet anyone dead or alive it would be her. She is so independent, so advanced in her thinking for her time. I mean to strive to be a writer which was frowned upon at the time, but to do the thing she loved. I admire her so much for not being a conformist!

Seriously, the statement of “Well behaved woman barely make history!” we have to make that statement a lifestyle not just something to say. We should live by it. I don’t know about you but I would give up everything for being remembered for hundreds of years after I have died. Wouldn’t you? She gave up love, having a family, and maybe fortune. But what she gained was so much more, becoming one of the best writers in the world, the best woman writer of time, (Yes, she is better then William Shakespeare) she did what she loved, I mean love is something everyone desires but the outcome was much more abundent then she could have gotten if she just did what she was told. To write six novels and for people still reading them and still talking about them today. That is a book that has some kind of power behind it. I get goosebumps just even thinking about her books and how witty and proud her mind was.

So, the movie “Becoming Jane” was an emotional roller-coaster. I loved it, it goes even better with some ice cream and a blanket. ( Also a sleepy little dog curled up in your lap) Anne Hathaway did an astounding job as Jane Austin, once again she blew me away. Anne Hathaway is known as Princess Mia from “Princess Diaries” and “Princess Diaries 2″ from Meg Cabot’s book series. We knew her as a clumsy girl from San Fransisco, California who found out she is a princess. Do not expect her to be a clumsy or gangly of any sort. In “Becoming Jane” she is a well educated woman who has pride and a quick and clever wit about herself. ( Anne Hathaway played Jane Austin) Beautiful movie setting in England’s country. Just hands down, this movie is two thumbs up. (Is that even possible?) If you are a fan of Jane Austin you will love “Becoming Jane”! You will cry, laugh, cry some more, and in some odd way find peace with yourself and have even more respect for Jane Austin.
