Adele's New Hit "Rolling in the Deep".
This soulful song rips the shit right off the wall. Enough Said, give it a listen.

Turn down my music on right hand side before you play.

I Don't Like You Man

Alright people, truth of the matter is that not everyone gets along with everyone. Personalities clash, rolled eyes, and opposing viewpoints like head on train collisions.

Let's for a minute differentiate the word 'hate' and 'dislike'. There is a difference. If you hate someone you dislike them in addition to a bundle full of knife stabs and stomped on voodoo dolls, feelings of hostility. Hence, you've heard your mom say 'don't say hate dear its a very very strong word' *shakes forefinger* To 'dislike', you don't like them but you don't want to hurt them, you agree to disagree. Point blank.

Lord knows there are a few people who want to push me off a cliff and I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to drag them with me if it happened. However, I've learned to get rid of feelings of animosity and it may be due to personal selfishness but in a one months time just think would it really matter to me? If you hate someone you are dwelling on issues and wasting precious brain space just focusing on every fiber of their being.

WHY BOTHER PEOPLE. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LET'S ALL JUST BE CIVIL.

You can do it! The least thing is that you can say you've tried. It takes a lot of energy, a lot of courage but JUST be civil. You can dislike someone but it doesn't mean you can't manage a 'hello' or 'hey how's it goin'. Doesn't mean you can't work with them, doesn't mean you can't help them out when times are hard. Who knows maybe being civil starts a spark and cycle of new born kindness and maybe *gasp* dare I say friendship.................or not.

Anyhoo try your best because in the long run at least you said you've tried.

peace, love, and no regrets!
bellicismo!

I Just Don't Understand

So there are many things I don't understand in this world: Disease pathology, why we have asteroids, how global warming affects us, but MOST of all why is Justin Bieber popular....
Okay young ladies before you shoot me with those red deathly laser beam eyes I live in democracy! I have rights to speak! *ahem* Okay, so young 15 year old singing about love, wanting to date severely older kim kardashian, songs with no substance, and a korean hair style that doesn't suit him. I JUST don't GET IT. I guess it's one of life's odd mystery.

That's my rant for the day ladies and gents! Merry Christmas and I wish you all health and happiness!

cheers!

don't like this don't like that

Okay, if you're a complainer raise your hands.......
If you didn't YOU'RE lying!..........
or you just didn't feel like it because you're talking to a computer monitor.
*looks straight at you double fingered jet li point take you down to china town*

come on, everyone complains right? As positive as I may be even I complain. We complain about traffic, we complain about how expensive things are, we complain about people, politics, food, and work. whatever you can think of at least one person has complained about it. There are those who even make a habit and living out of complaining. Which leads me back to thinking, thanksgiving day is great we give thanks, we give our blessings, our thoughts and we are done. We should be thankful EVERYDAY.

The focus of complaining has blinded us to see the silver lining. Complaining about traffic without realizing you have a vehicle whereas others still bus. complaining about how expensive things are not realizing that if you wanted that shirt badly still be able to afford it. If I wanted a coffee right here right now I can just run out and buy one.

Complaining is human nature, it is not to say we aren't allowed to speak our minds, to share our thoughts and opinions. You may not like how the government runs or how society is fallible. To complain is one's freedom of speech. However, be mindful of what you are complaining about as others may have it so much more worse than You or I. Others are living in times of war whereas some countries have passed it decades ago.

Let's all attempt to complain a little less, and be thankful for the things we have in life even good memories. That is my daily rant! Until next time folks!

Expectations

Someone attempts to cut you off in traffic.
You slow down and although upset
you let them in and they don't give a courtesy gesture.


You open the door for others
they walk through expectantly
As though it was your duty
No word of thanks.

I am all about mannerisms, 'thank you's' and acknowledgment of appreciation. Yet think for yourself, why are you doing this for others. One should not 'give' to others expecting something in return, regardless it be a favor or a word of thanks. Just know you are doing something nice for others is good enough in itself. Expecting a reaction out of others, expecting others to pay you back, expecting others to say thank you.

People should do things out of their own will if not let things be. Sure, gratitude is a nice feeling, but not great as the feeling of being kind and giving. If one expects others to react a certain way to situations then the world will never be kind to one another. If not a thanks, then just a hope that those people will one day give in the continuous never ending cycle.
If you want others to acknowledge you, than you might as well stop being kind because you will be in for a large expected disappointment.

So, before you flip the finger at someone that didn't say thanks for letting him cut you in busy traffic. It was YOU that let him in the first place. Sometimes you just gotta shrug your shoulders and know you did the right thing.

Cheers!

Look Before Leaping

After our presentation from the manager of public health:

Me: Hey want to go to the mall for a bit?


K.D: "sure"


Me: I gotta go get my jacket


K.D: Well I'm parked right here, want me to turn around to get you?


Me: Sure, I gotta go get my jacket, you know where to pick me up?


K.D: Yea


Go upstairs grab my jacket, my purse, my mittens and head down and out the door.


Me: ..i forget what her truck looks like....(sees a car warming up and parked). I think i'll head on
over.

I go on over, I can't see over the large truck door and being all over 4'11 (Normal Asian Midget Height) I get on the step open the door to get ready to sit down.



People...

Remind me to look before I leap.


Man In Car: Probably thinking...How Much?

I Should Join, I could meet a communist leader of my dreams

Pause Music to the Right Before Playing the Video



............now THATS how i pictured E Harmony.....

Now Thats My Cup of Joe

You embrace me in your warmth,
you are there when I am cold.
Your aroma slowly wakes me,
it fills my soul and I develop courage for the day.

You create a social atmosphere for friends,
You give an immediate richness and
appearance of a beautiful crisp coldness.

You keep me calm, collected
You give the ability and strength to continue
You accentuate smells of pastries and baking
The pouring and swirling gliding against smooth glass
Thanks Cup of Joe


Thank God for Coffee
I would have never made light nights without it!
Have yourself a cup and Enjoy Your Day! <3

If you are going to indulge in lovely java, might as well listen to this wonderful jazz/lounge pop group called The Classiquai Project. Their tunes range from smooth jazz undertones to high popadelic funk! They are one of my favorite groups to listen to while doing work or drinking coffee. Their 4th album 'Mucho Punk' is one of their best works! Enjoy!

but....i worked so hard

Okay, la di da You've been working out excessively, dieting excessively, your friends go out and you have a salad..........to start. Then a sandwich with fries loaded with mayo. You go home and your day is flooded with thoughts on gaining weight, guilt, and why you hadn't controlled yourself.

So not only have you taken the time to work out but you torture yourself with guilt from eating? Well I'll be damned since when does working out mean giving up the joys of eating? Yea you work out to be more healthy, yea you want to look good but just face it people. Enjoying life and socializing with others is to enjoy food. What is guilt going to do besides eat away at your subconscious? and you can't do anything about it because whats done is done. You can opt for more healthy choices all year round so why feel guilty about one day of eating?

Those who are exercise fanatics will probably say I am wrong and it will ruin your routine etc etc. Just look at it this way, if you had one last day on this earth would your thoughts entail "man! i wish i was working out right now!", Pfft Yeaaa Right it'd be "I'm going to have the best damn meal of my life!"

That being said, i'll also stress the moderation speal. Try to not to let both exercise or poor food choices control your life. It's about balance and moderation. We live to eat and eat to live. It is the never ending cycle. Once you've achieved your goal in looking good and being healthy, then what? Maintenance, and with maintenance will still follow thoughts of "should i eat that?" So balance your lifestyle, be healthy, Enjoy yourself, and ditch the guilt!

Nurses

Today I'm going to discuss something near and dear to my heart. Let me just say thank you to all health professionals that attempt to make ill ones better the best way they can, physicians, occupational therapists, physical therapists, x ray technicians, Respiratory therapists, nursing attendants, unit clerks, and so on and so on. Lastly, Thank you to all nurses.

Nurses of all kinds,
LPN's and RN's. I don't think anyone has realized the difficulty of a nurse. Many will think nurses strictly wipe..(excuse my language) ass and follow orders. This cannot be further from the truth. Nurses do not get Science degrees or their PhD's or Masters just to learn how to wash and wipe patients. Nurses empower clients, educate patients on what they need to know, provide resources, assess status, and have the knowledge to look for symptoms in case of status changes. Nurses have extensive knowledge on disease pathophysiology, and sometimes have the courage to explain to physicians that sometimes what was ordered may not be correct.

That being, not every single health worker is perfect for their jobs and you may at one point in your life run into the rudest nurse possible. For every one person there are ten other nurses that take their job seriously and are there to advocate for you. Nurses are there to protect and ensure client's are happy and content with care. How many times have you watched a show, say Grey's Anatomy that the hospital is run based on physicians. Half they jobs they do on the show is what n
urses do. Please open your mind and your hearts to the nurses and other health professionals. Planning the care of an individual is not a one person job, yet it is the collaboration of a health care team.

Followers or Dancers

Okay, so the other day a friend and I go dancing. We love to dance and have a good time. No we don't like to pick up guys, and no we didn't wear dresses and stilettos nothing but the best of the best, a shirt, a belt, and some polka dot ballet flats. We didn't leave our groove at home, so thinking there was not much a crowd why not bust a move?

Lame crowds sitting on the corner creepy eyed and bored. I think it defeats the purpose of going dancing if you ask me. Anyhoo two young ..shall we say "i think I'm hot" type girls get on the dance floor after the crowd picks up and starts pointing and laughing at my friend and I.

Needless to say I'm having too good of a time to notice, they leave and we keep dancing. Why people are mean beats me maybe insecurities, maybe they're angry, or maybe they're just not blessed with kind nature (it is an effort for some people).
Low underhanded comments will do no good for this danceholic baby. So remember peeps whether there is a crowd or not, be the leader and do your thing, pay no mind to negative energy and keep on dancing!

Speaking of which, "those dancing days" are a kickass group if you like this genre of music, indie pop happy. Doesn't conform but makes ya wanna dance don't it?

Happy and Proud


Follow my blog with bloglovin

Ahhh nothing taste and feels better then a dose of feeling proud. Have you ever done something and attempted to accomplish? Are there goals you've set and have reached almost half way?
Everyone has set goals for themselves. Even things such as learning to tie your shoes, to learn more about computers, or when things are going according to your daily plans.

The problem with humanity is that we don't give ourselves enough credit or any credit at all. Thinking they're frivolous and not large enough of an achievement. EVERYTHING can be an achievement right down to the very last drop. It all comes down to your own perception but give it some self thought. It takes effort to plan your day, get up and go to work, or to begin an exercise routine. Whatever it is give yourself a little credit and continue what you started. Be proud of yourself regardless of what people may say.

Even if you've done something wrong it takes effort to admit it and to go through any type of criticism. Eventually wrong doings will have consequences and hopefully one has learned from the mistakes. Despite what others think, the least you can do for yourself is say "I am PROUD".

what are YOU waiting for?!

Do you guys find that we're always waiting for things? Waiting for the chance, waiting for that moment, waiting for destiny, waiting for deadlines, and as a part of living we are ALWAYS waiting. Sometimes you don't wait, sometimes you procrastinate, sometimes you put things off because of fear or it's just plain laziness. Whatever it is why can't we just go ahead, go forward and go for things! Why wait? the rest of the world is continuous but you're at a standstill.

If you want to do something be the Nike and just DO IT. Nobody will do things for you, nobody will ever have the same desires or want like you do. You have the passion for it so why wait until a friend does something with you and why wait till someone agrees. (keeping in mind that its non harmful to others) but asides that just go for it and go at it with your utmost energy. You have nothing to lose, if you feel like skydiving then go skydiving, if you want to swim then swim, if you want to join a roller derby team than heck JUST DO IT. Don't wait around because chances are too few and far in between.

You make your life, you choose your chances, and you create your destiny. Greater opportunities may arise but in the mean time why sit around and wait? Give life your greatest shot you have nothing to lose, go forth and kick some ass!

For the Love of God, Let it Go!

Why is it so damn hard to let things go. Why do we dwell on things that are so unnecessary? If something already happened then why do we still think about them? Everyone does it but the real question is how do we forget them? I figure maybe listening to music and exercising is a good way to keep the mind occupied. It's so much more peaceful to let the mind relax then to think about why he or she is like this and that. like......who cares! Just let the damned thing go. If you're mad about something, you're mad at that moment but the day after just LET IT GO. yea i know easier said then done, yet once it has already happened the moment won't reoccur. Life is harder in itself, work is stressful than it really is, and we can't get along with everybody but regardless we just gotta let it go!

In The Arms of a Good Man

You know the phrase "can't live with them, can't live without them?" There is no in between, so the phrase just doesn't count. It's one or the other, I think you pick one, you choose, and you live with the choices made. Depending on the circumstance the decision is a good or a bad one. For me, I've made many bad choices in my life, but one ultimate great one. It is to be with the one that stands by my side and supports me at all costs.

I'm weak, vulnerable, sensitive and high energy he is strong, optimistic and calm. We fight, we argue, we disagree. We overcame complications in our relationship with continuing obstacles to come. I'm truly blessed and lucky for having loved and being loved. I would not change what I have for any amount luck and fortune.


However, if you are single and looking for that special someone don't be discouraged. It's understandable that you'll start to feel frustrated and disapproved, but none of that means anything. Fate, time, patience, opportunity, and choices all create the ideal situations in meeting that special someone. Don't stand still in the momentum of things. Continue to give life your best and when you least expect it something wonderful will happen. Strangely enough life sometimes works that way as I have learned.

Running for Your Life

Okay so you're running: you got chores to do, homework to complete, pay the bills, wax body hair, iron your clothes and show up to work on time. There's no time for breaks because in that time you could have finished errands and in this time you're anxious, stressed, angry, overwhelmed, frustrated and mad at the world! So like what the hell right? Who doesn't feel this way? Life itself is an on going chore.

Everything becomes so task oriented we forget the joys left in life. Just take the time to just breath. Take a few moments to relax, eat, or play with your kids. Ask for help when necessary, there's no sin in that. At the end of the day those errands will be done, your homework will be handed in by the deadline, and family and friends are satisfied by helping. Life is an on going chore, but what's the point if you forget to enjoy it?

Hello Friend

So what is a friend? someone that tells you what you want to hear? tells it to you straight? someone you can depend on? Sometimes you meet a great friend that is there permanently, sometimes you meet friends that come and go. You may have long time friendships that end up fading, and sometimes you rekindle long lost friendships.

In the end for me good friends are those who I can depend on and are willing to ask me for the same in return. Friends have helped me through work, school, and life. It is a tragedy that I've lost touch with some friends for whatever reason, but I thank them for all the kindness that they've given.

Regardless life will move on <3

Self Thoughts. Immaculate thoughts

In a cafe, drinking coffee and chatting. A nice looking girl walks by. My friend looks...she states "Man I wish I was her". A girl in my class thinks that she is too old for education, wishing she was one of the younger students. Sure, we all have our regrets, we all have things we don't like about ourselves, and we all want to be kind, less gossipy, more skinny, more happy, bigger eyes, blue eyed, hot, popular ..and the list goes on.

If you spend more time focusing on the list mentioned above, I can tell you that you've wasted too much brain cells on frivolous bullshit. Whatever happened to...

"I wish I am me"

These five words speak the loudest of all my thoughts. It is created in the way you hold yourself in this world.It is your every being, the way you talk, the way you think, the way you dress, the way you feel...it is the way you are. Improve your self esteem but do not exceed the line of conceit.

What kind of things will make you mentally, physically, and psychologically happier? For me I've learned to set goals for myself . I enjoy knowing that I have goals set to achieve, such as rock climbing, paragliding, traveling, renovating and joining "Doctors without borders". An association that gives aid in less fortunate countries. My goals, My thoughts, My feelings, My aura, My energy, It is what I love, and It is what makes me enjoy being me. It is also you...it's about time you "wish you were you".

Grain of Salt

So here's the thing; some try hard to be kind individuals, some don't even try but secretly wants acknowledgment and appreciation. Every single being on this earth have personalities according to their backgrounds and experiences, thus it is impossible for everyone to get along. Although it is important to be civil and polite, one must understand that some people are the way they are.

Gossip may start, rumors, dislike. and anger are primary concepts to hatred. However, if one says something you dislike either talk to them about it, or just
take it with a grain of salt. It is less important to dwell on the unimportant things, and more important to focus on the positive aspects.

Living a happy lifestyle, focus on freeing the soul, and enhance positive outlook on life. We all live one life why not make it the best life possible? Think to yourself will these poor actions and comments really affect my life? It is how one judges and perceives things negatively, will they be truly negative.

mislead sign?

So my friend and i reside in this small town for school. I made assumptions and labeled this town as "boring". Yet despite my knowledge there were many activities that go on in this town. One of them was a Christmas function for families designed mainly for children. This Ol' Christmas had arts and crafts, pony rides, and hot caramel dipped in ice, creating what is called a sugar cones. There were lots of tobogganing children and snow all around. It was a nice atmosphere.

Heather and I decide to buy tickets and go on a "hay ride". A sign specifically stating that it is a "hay ride". After 45 minutes of waiting and surrounded by children (we were the only adults), the ride finally stops as we are ready to board. Low and Behold the hay ride:



The only tractor hay ride i've ever seen?!

Truth to Beauty

Distorted perceptions of oneself is one's own enemy. I've come to realize that people and [especially women] are currently becoming more obsessed with body image. Ever heard someone say "you've got cankles", "you should lose a little weight", "I want to fit in my new bikini"..etc etc. This obsession has become broken rails steering the momentum of body image in the wrong direction. I fully support the notion of exercise. prevention of illness, and improvement of health. However, many have lost enjoyment of life, and poor health due to harm causing diets. Eat what you will so long as you do not over do it. Make the most out of life as it is meant to be enjoyed. So come together as a nation and say so what if I have cankles, So what if I have some weight, So what if I like to eat, and So what if you won't accept my beauty. Accept your body as it is and keep healthy. They argue that if you look good you feel good, yet whatever happened to if you feel good you will look good??
