Whats Up World! Hope You all are doing well and dandy. I want to start off today by talking about the "A" word. No...no not that one and no it doesn't end with "hole" smart ass. Now, I just want to say it's these "A" type of people that will eat and grind at every fiber of your being, and Yes its a natural human emotion and I won't lie if I said I've never been a victim to this word.
So That being said are YOU an anxious person?
With every thing that humanity has to experience and go through anxious people make things even worse. They will sigh with extreme distress, and are uptight about the most miniscule details that can be easily fixed. Anxiety will go so far as to extend its energy and affect their surroundings. Needless to say the least anxious people and anal-ness go hand in hand. Either way they are "A" types. When anal people don't get their way they get anxious, those who are anxious attempt to become anal to seek balance and control of their anxiety. It's like a never ending cycle and these people never realize who they affect or how this form of negative energy can dampen the atmosphere whether it be work or play.
So prior to freaking out ask yourself these questions:
Can it be fixed? If not are the consequences THAT severe? (if any at all). Do I have the opportunity to change it the second time? Have I learned anything from this? Is it the end of the world and zombies have become the living dead? Do I have a flesh eating disease?
If you've answered 'no' for either one of the last two questions YOU'LL BE FINE. So stop making a big stink out of the most ridiculous nonsense, take a deep breath, come to your senses, regain your strength and take a chill flippin pill y'all!
"revenge feels great but love feels even greater!" - quju
peace!

Overworked and Underpaid....
Hi all!
Sorry been away for the longest time readers! Okay so here are all the things that have happened to me thus far, I graduated, I got a job, I had to support my significant other in job transitions, I got engaged, fought for my parent's blessings and now here I am.
I've been working and trying to save and save and thought long and hard how difficult it is to live without finances. Let's beat the sugar coating and get straight...you can't live good without money, but truth of the matter is you can work your bazookas off but it will never be enough. As humans we always want more and more, people want to work hard and play hard. Sometimes we become so preoccupied with ourselves we forget what it is like to rest, to reserve our energy, to relax, heal, and most of all.....to calm the fuck down (excuse my poor verbals). Fatigue and stress is our biggest enemy, it consumes you, it makes you older physically and mentally, and it weakens the soul to liberation and success in life.
The world is consistently moving at such a fast rate, everyone is in a rush to get married, to pay bills, to do chores, to be the wonder parent, etc etc and the list goes on. That's just it. The list will forever go on. If you have a job money will always flow and I am not insinuating on spending all that you have, but take a break from work if you can. Don't try to push that extra over time. Treat yourself to a massage, the spa, buy yourself a gift, allow friends to babysit and go on a date, and say to yourself I'm going to enjoy myself because I definitely deserve it! So take a break, look at what surrounds you and take a deep breath!
*Cheers*

Are YOU a Vacuum?
Now we all know and tell ourselves not to be open to negative energy etc etc. We all should live by this rule but truth of the matter: not everyone gets along with everyone. Whether it be a co worker, student colleague, or team mate. It also becomes extremely difficult when negativity comes from those that you need assistance from, things such as a referral, a reference, or a good grade.
There are those who want you to succeed, there are those who willingly help depending on good performance, but there are those who feed off negativity and make your life miserable because they know you need them. They grill you with questions you have no answers to, they laugh at you when they feel you 'should' know something but you don't, you try hard but receive no positive feedback, and rather than help they enjoy pulling you into a downwards spiral.
These people are what I like to call the Vacuum.
one tracked direction, ugly, full of dirt, and sucks you in.
It is easy to become discouraged by people of this nature, but think of it as the biggest challenge and accomplishment in your life. If these people like to play than play back harder. You don't know the answers go look it up, if you 'should' have known but didn't than you learn, if you make a mistake understand it and don't do it again, and most of all give yourself credit and a pat on the back.
You've lived something odd years thus far without 'Vacuum's' feedback and surely you don't require it to move on in life. Do what is necessary, be open to constructive feedback, and maintain positive no matter what, because once you are done with the vacuum brush off the dirt and throw it in the closet!

20 centimeters of kindness
Okay, it's snowing ridiculously where I am from. Flights getting delayed, people not showing up for work, and vehicles getting stuck, all for the sake of 20 centimeters of heavy snow. Now I know people have their daily agendas for the day and unless it is an emergency or one is in a rush, would it really kill to stop and help the individual out of a rut? Especially if you drive a 4x4 and have the necessary equipment to assist, such as a shovel, rope, or solid breakers.
I see others driving by nonchalantly like Mr. bean and his bean mobile without a care as to look at others. We all live on this forsaken earth experiencing the same forsaken circumstances. The single most important thing we all have is each other. So do a good deed, give what you have to offer and take a little time to help. Surely, everyone needs a push when stuck in 20 centimeters of snow...............
unless you live in nice warm weather than never mind......................j/k.
cheers!

Got My Eye on You
Waiting to cross
Over sized Yellow raincoat
Big rubber boots
Bright Lights Glare
Almost blinding. foggy
Flickering Mist from the rain
dripping cold.
wet.
shivering.
Soaked from droplets
and splashes from side passing cars
Pedestrian Lights switches on behind dark solid grid lines
Looking both ways, cold...wet...shivering.
Final step to end of the gray mildly cracked pavement
stop light flashes, a car begins to pass
A glance. A smile
Waiting to cross
In big rubber boots.
Glimmer of sunlight
drips of remaining rain
Warmth. A breath. A smile.
Always smile people as you never know who is watching
You just may have caught someones attention as your smile just made you 100% more attractive!
*cheers to all you lovely people*

Series of Unfortunate Events
We've all had our share of bad days and to say the least we are all allowed to be feeling depressed, sad, and confused. A mix of emotions that stir the mind when unfortunate events occur, events that are controlled by fate, destiny, with or without reason, or affected by negative choices from loved ones.
The significance lies in how we take the next step in rectifying the situation; talking with friends, exercising, taking some time away to think, or compromising with loved ones. Whatever cards you are dealt with in life confront your dilemmas and attempt to handle them the best way possible. Although we cannot control life's events we are able to control the aftermath, it's up to you to make your journey a positive or negative experience.

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 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 nurses 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.
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.

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!

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!
