WOO-HOO! July 22, 2008

 

 

 

     DO NOT SLEEP WITH CONTACTS!  

 

  Seriously, just don’t I am learning the hard way the reasons why you DON’T sleep with contacts. Don’t think it won’t happen to you! I have been wearing contacts for almost four years now. NOT a good idea, you can a scratch cornea, or worse an ucler! http://www.citybeachvet.com.au/HealthyPets/Dog_Corneal_Ulcer_clip_image002.jpg     They are not fun!

 

 

  Okay, so I have a very odd interest into the things that people should know but aren’t aware of. I don’t know what other people are interested in, there is too much out there to know everything. But, I enjoy reading like medical stuff. The reason why whatever it is happened, if it is preventable. I find the human body mind blowing, and the things it can do. And my lovely Uncle Pete helps me when I have a question about anything related to the medical field. Seriously, I think it should be mandatory to learn about the human body in school. I mean, not the stuff that they force you to watch in middle school about puberty, but more about the whole anatomy.

  Anyways, if your looking for something cool, or interesting, you don’t have to look far I mean our anatomy is something we should know more about, because it is actually useful.

  Does this mean I want to become a doctor or nurse? No not really, I don’t think I could  be able to be a doctor or nurse, to stressful.

 

   My week has been so crazy, and when I think about it, I barely did do anything. I did find that I like Stacy’s Parmesan Garlic & Herb Pita Chips. They are really good, and not filled with grease and does NOT have Corn syrup! Also, Corn syrup, tells yours brain that you are still hungry which makes you eat more, when really you don’t need to eat more.

 

  Go organic I tell you! It will be the best thing for you, and LADIES cut make with all the war paint! It has so much stuff in it that really shouldn’t be on your face. Also, people who drink a lot of soda, don’t no drink was meant to have bubbles, it tears your teeth apart. If you think juice is safe as well, it is not, all the sugar and natural acid in that will tear your teeth as well. Drink water, it seriously does more then keep you hydrated. The more water you drink the better your skin will look, so then for all the ladies, you don’t have to put base “foundation” on since your skin is cleared for all that water.

 

   It seriously concerns me when seeing all these young kids drinking soda, eating candy, not going outside. If your afraid your kid is going to get kidnapped in front of your house, go to a park, or something. Get their little butts off the couch stop the video game, take them outside. The sun gives our body a high amount of vitamin D, vitamin D helps burn fat.

 

   Oh yeah, I have no clue what has gotten me on this healthy organic ramped today. But good health is always a good concern. Its sad to think that we let our kids get obese. We as a society have gotten so lazy that we find quick easy ways to get what we want. Like keeping the big pot of food in front of us while we eat. We will keep eating until our plate has nothing left on it, but if we have more food in front of us, we are susceptible for eating more then you should. I know if you live on your own you might get stuck in the habit of ordering out and not wanting to cook a meal, when Pizza Hut delivers and its only 30 minutes, and five dollars. What is a bad habit I have gotten into, is when my family isn’t around, I don’t want to eat, I will not eat at all. I will eat when it sounds like a gremlin inside of me about to bust out, and when I do its like cereal, or cheese and bread. Thats not good as well. 

 

  So to all my readers reading, eat healthy, live well, and your body will preform better!

Another Rant By The Hippie! May 24, 2008

<-D

 

  “You can do no great things, just small things with great love.” – Mother Theresa

 

  ^ That quote is now my personal motto. I believe that is so true, Mother Theresa is truly an inspiration for me. If I had to choose a modern role model, it would be her. She was just a kind gentle hearted person who loved so many, and helped so many. It is something I can only live up to and strive to achieve. Maybe this is reason number two the Peace Corps is something that really is in my upcoming future.  Like Kennedy said “Do not ask what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” I think if you just revive it and make it do not ask others what they can do for you, but what you can do for others.

 

  Maybe if we all tried to live by that statement, maybe this world might have a better future. We might not see the change while we are alive, but there might be a change for our grandchildren. Some of us are way to young to even think about grandchildren let alone our own children. This is important, more important then “Global Warming” instead of trying to save the earth, maybe we should think the earth will long be here after us, but stop and realize that we should start help saving peoples lives who are dieing from phamon and pleagues around the world.

 

  Yes, going green is a nice thing to try to do, but it is so ridiculous how people won’t use plastic bags, but buy products that have plastic. So if you want to be hardcore, live under a rock. But if you wanna be with the cool crowd and where shirts for organizations you probably don’t even know about, and walk around with peace signs, fine. But if you actually do care, maybe take the 30 dollars you would spend for the WWF shirt (that only $10 of the 30 even goes to the organization) and actually donate it to a cause that you trulydo believe in. If you think that is crazy and you would never spend 30 dollars on a shirt and want to make a difference. I challenge you to do simple things, like go to the mall and don’t buy anything. Since that shirt, is probably not organic and some kind of chemicals were used to make the fabric and dye it and then oil was used to power the machines that made it, and it probably is not even made in America.  Another simple thing you can do is don’t drink anything but water, everything else is held in a metal can that is being found that is bad for our bodies *check your deodorant* if it isn’t in a can it is in a bottle. It takes at least a few hundred years for one bottle (12 oz.) to deterred. Also, get up off your lazy bum and walk, or ride a bike, and maybe oh my, you might get in shape and do your heart good.

 

  Okay, I can continue with that topic. But I won’t, YAY for enviromental science! I would have never even thought of myself getting into a science as a career, because every time I thought of scientists I would think of that song “Blinding Me With Science” and the movie “Flubber”.  Okay, maybe Mother Theresa wasn’t passionate about the enviroment, but she was passionate about people. She showed compassion and love to people where it was most likely not to be found, Calcuta, India.

 

  Okay, so if you read this blog, I know one person reads my blogs. That’s all that matters because I like listening to their opinion, because it is similar to mine, but can still be different. Whoever this person is, is someone that I think fondly of, and you know who you are. Someone that actually reads my blogs, and listens to me complain about my day and other things. They are a true and good friend, that I am grateful to have them in my life. So if your reading this blog and like it leave a comment, because they are always welcomed, positive and negative feedback always make my day. *this goes for anyone reading*

 

Hopefully it wasn’t just a bunch of rambleings written down on the net.

 

Okay my lovely readers, you should know what time this is, yup this is where I tell you about cool songs, and you go and listen to them. Because you are cool like that!……….

….NEW! by Coldplay *big fan of them, if you have tickets to their concert don’t forget about your lovely blogger, send me a ticket as well* 

 …………”Viva la Vida” by Coldplay…..(yeah i have more then one this time!)

…………”Adia” (I personally LOVE that name! It is so pretty.) by: Sarah McLachlan..

Thanks for reading, if it is reading your first time or if it is you hundredth time.

Story Of A Girl. May 7, 2008

     I have been thinking lately, which is RARE! No, not really I use my mind multiple times during the day.

 

How much music influences my life. It always have some relation to how I am feeling that day. It makes me happy, sad, and etc etc.

 

What else did I ponder about? Hmmm…… I was looking back on my life, and dang it the crazy things I did as a young girl. I wonder if I ever thought of “WHAT” could have happen.  I am trying not to boast about myself. Even though I have a feeling no matter what I say it is going to seem vain, it is not supposed to be vain. If it comes off vain then, cry me a river, I didn’t mean for it to be. 

 

What I am wanting to say is looking back on my life I did some pretty cool stuff, and accomplished a lot more when I wasn’t thinking of the “What ifs” I just did it, and whatever came out of it happened. Good or bad I would grow or learn what to do and what not to do the next time. 

Like Edison, how many light bulbs did it take him to figure out how to make that one? It is an argued question on the exact number but I will say at least one thousand tries until he figures out how to make a light bulb work and last longer then two seconds. He said something that has stuck with me.

A reporter asks Edison “How many failed attempts did you make before discovering the right way?”

Edison’s reply ”I never made failed attempts, I just learned 1,000 ways on how NOT to make a light bulb.”

 

Now what I am saying you never “FAIL” you just learn on ways that don’t work. Okay, I honestly go on with quotes from famous people about Failure. The big thing in common that they all meant was, if I had never failed I would have never had learned the right way of doing it. 

 

 I think I did some pretty stupid stuff back then, but now I have so many stories to tell. I know if you know me now you might think of me as different, from the person I was six years ago. I have done somethings some people have never done, or very few people have experienced. I am proud of that, I am less proud of my awards, plaques, trophies, ribbons, badges, and being in the newspaper a few times; then I am of my experiences.

  Yes, I had to work my tail off for the awards and stuff. I just don’t think it has given me a lot of things I can say “I did THAT” .  Becasue next year someone else will be rewarded the same. They are nice for college and other things but not as cool as saying that “I sat on a alligator and held its mouth, while being in a pit of 15 other alligators roaming the land.” The story goes more in depth but I won’t get into detail. Yeah, I bet that is a random fact you didn’t know about me.

 

I guess doing things that average people wouldn’t want to do, has always been apart of me. I have always said that I don’t want to die from old age, I would rather die doing something that not many people are doing. Because at least I had fun, and lived my life and not trying to preserve myself for old people in those museums they call nursing homes. I also say, they ”pretty” old people had no real fun in there life; they must not have had much expression since they aren’t wrinkled like a shirt. I encourage people to do some daring things in their life time. Get some wrinkles on your face, you will enjoy the story telling time of your life to people other then nice looking skin.

If you have a fear, go out there and conquerr your fear. Fear is nothing more then abstinence or courage. We all have fears, for the people who have told me that they don’t believe I have fears or any kind of afobia I won’t tell you them because they are pretty ridiculous when you hear them. (If you really need to know for some odd reason ask me, but not here on my blog.)

So for today’s blog in a nutshell……your life is a book filled with blank pages, it is up to you to pick up the pen and start writing.

Have fun with your life, you only have one.

 

Okay my lovely readers. Today I have a little list of songs for you since I can’t choose just one.

 Stolen-Dashboard Confessional

All Around Me-Flyleaf

Honey-The Hush Sound

Absoulutly (Story Of A Girl)-Nine Days

Don’t Touch Me (Throw DA Water On ‘Em) -Busta Rhymes *note-if your ears are sensitive maybe this song isn’t for you*

 

Thanks for reading! Much love to all my readers!

Fruity Cheerios. May 6, 2008

<—The face of a girl who doesn’t really know what to write.

 

Here is a question I have been thinking of, are we normals and followers of one way of thinking if we, believe we are individuals because (Enter in the Blank). Or are we individuals if we believe or want to believe we are normal? Tuff question, but I was thinking the people that want to be “individuals”  do sill stuff to themselves to make them stand out or be “individuals” but the real truth is you are not the first person, and there are many people who did the same thing as you too be “individuals” so that would make you an equal to another.

Also, why do people want to be equal but then still not live equally, govern equally, since that can grow into socialists or communism? So they want to be equal to fellow man but be individual at the same time. That is quiet controdicting, I think.

What makes us an true individual, it is fact that we are all not the same. I don’t know the number of personality traits there are but we all have just a fraction of those certain quirks and pieces of personality that makes us, us. No one else will have the same equal amount of certain traits you do. So why not just be yourself and stop acting like “Miss Popular” or trying to imitate Brad Pitt, Paris Hilton, or something your not. I think that would make you stand out more then anything else. But it is said that the hardest thing for a person is to act like real person they truely are. People are afraid that other people will not accept them so they act a certain way so everyone likes them. Which is so foolish, because you always have to be the person you weren’t born to be.

 

Also, are we really individuals if we know we stand out of the crowd more then others but wish to be normal? But then you can ask yourself the question what is “Normal” if everyone is pretending to be someone they are not that is just FAKE!

I think people should stop worring about what other people think about them, just be them. We all are wierd, you have to admit to it.

I Am Going To Do It! May 1, 2008

 

    Hey there my lovely readers! I know I have been pondering about what I should do for a new or upcoming blog that will be some what interesting. I have been racking my brain for ideas. Lots of things have come up for me to write about, but I don’t want to write about something just to write. I want my writing to have some meaning, or atleast things that are atleast important to me. As people know I love the Earth, and feel the need not only to make this planet cleaner, but I also care for the people that live on it. Okay, and lets not forget the Sea Turtles. I feel people should at least have house, clean water, and some kind of education. Education meaning acidemics, common sense, and life skills to survive. I would love to just bring food and clean fresh water to tribes in Africa and other countries. But you can’t just do the work for them and then when you are not there they not know what to do. You not only have to teach them let them do it themselves, and then maybe telling them a quicker and better way of doing it. Just give them the experience, giving the gift of knowledge is the best gift anyone could give.

 

I am known as a “Hippie” or “The Hippie” which I think is cute and all, but really that is not what I am. You might be wondering what I would consider myself; first of all, I do not labeling what so ever it is wrong. It gives people big egos, and it can do serious damage to others, and sometimes the people with the BIG egos are the one with serious mental damage. Since they don’t know how to grow up and know that they are not always going to be right, and they will never be the coolest; someone else will have beaten you to that title no matter how hard you try. So personally I say ban labels, but you really can’t, so if you must put me under one little category and label me only as one thing the big thing everyone would say would be “Hippie” or I prefer Enviromentalist. Not a Hippie, hippies do drugs, protest over wars, and have silly quotes. I would be what you might consider an Environmentalist.

 

So now we have gotten that behind us, my bigger problem is I love to travel. If you really personally know me, you know that well I am dieing to go to India, Africa, and other parts of the world. For myself, to travel make friends, and well whatever comes my way. I don’t know, I have fallen in love with little children in other parts of the world living on their own. I do dream of adopting less unfortunate children when I am ready to start my own family, but just adopting two children won’t make a big enough impact. So I was debating with myself how in the world will I ever be able to afford to travel to different countries, and at the same time make an impact in this world. I figured get sponsored by some people, but then that still won’t be enough. This put my in a pickle, I needed to figure out what exactly type of game plan I can make. My dad the genius he is, suggested “Peace Core” I figured that means I will be weighed down with commitment to them.

 

So, I researched a little bit about the Peace Corps. they ask for a two year commitment. I thought it isn’t a bad deal, you get to stay in a exotic or whereever you want place for two years doing something that you love and can move on to another place for the next two years. I haven’t done full research, but there are alot of things teens can do, since you have to be 18 or older to join Peace Corps. I think it will be a fun experience. So I figured they prefer people with college degrees or at least some kind of education. So I am now starting to plan my life the way I think I will love and be best suited for.  Maybe not the route my parents invisioned for me. I think it is quiet funny, some girl who wanted to persue business and go to Harvard Business college now thinking of becoming part of the Peace Corps.

 

Right now I feel somewhat satisfied, knowing what I should be looking in to more and things of that nature.  It just makes me well extremely happy. I don’t think I have been this sure of what I wanted to do in and with my life before. Now I feel some sort of weird sensation of peace with me inside, like almost my heart telling me that I have to do it and I am going to do it, it is something I will enjoy doing.  So now, I just need to do extensive research and hopefully figure out everything while I go along.

 

The song for this blog is……..well a little more exotic in honor of my first Peace Corps. blog…………..”Din Din Wo” by: Habib Koite` and Bamada.

Thinking. April 15, 2008

 

Why is that when we sit down by ourselves and “think” we can never come to a conclusion about anything? Then also why is it when we are not thinking we think up of soulutions to things we were thinking about earlier? Is two heads better then one? Or is one head better then two heads if that one head isn’t “thinking”?

Do great philosiphers sit down and think up good philoshpys, or do they live life and then  come to conclusion of good ideas when they are not doing at what they are known best for doing which is thinking?  I mean famous quotes that are resited today weren’t a good quote because some man sat down and thought of a sentence. There was a build up to what they said and why they said it. So does that make wise people great philosphers of our time? Maybe it does, the reason why the great philosphers like Plato, Aristotile, and Ect. get there fame by not being afraid of what they say?

What would happen if more people spoke up? Would the world be wiser, or just full of non-sense jibber jabber? Bloggers, they might write a beautiful piece but because of the popularity of the internet is so vast they might never be heard. If people make their voices louder then just writing a few pages long blog on a website, would it prove that the world has great thinkers like there was in history? Or will it prove that everyone is a bigit, slightly cocky and big headed?

 

These are just some things that I have been mulling around in my head for the past few days. What I hate the most about blogging is, that I will get an idea for a blog but don’t have the time to write it at that moment. I can’t keep the inspiration for my new blog in my head for that long so I always loose it. If I just simply write down a note to myself about a new blog it won’t have the same spirit it did in the begining. Maybe it proves that it isn’t all that important or it doesn’t have enough spark of fire then I think it does at the time.

 

The song for the blog is……..”I Find The Light In You” by Joe Brooks.

Stay safe, until next time!

  Sincerly,

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

   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.)
