14th Amendment / Who Is a CITIZEN...???

On Birthright

WOW .. I am amazed at the ignorance and at the stuff that some of the Nations representatives come up with. Is it "Target a Latino Decade"?


First Arizona wants to profile and deport all Non Caucasians .. Now we change focus and they are calling for a revision on the 14th Amendment.. Which gives citizenship to ALL PERSON BORN ON THIS LAND .

Let's take a look at this, new proposal.. If we are to change the Constitution and not allow children who are born in the US to illegal Parents Citizenship.. Then that means that the entire population of the United States with the exception of the Native Americans would all be {excuse the term don’t mean to offend just make a Point) WEtBACKS!!

Whether you arrived here on a Ferry, Train, Boat , Ship ,Plane, Land, with Visa or not… we as well as all the children would all be Wetbacks..

Because every one knows that this land belonged to the Native Americans and none of them gave any one permission to invade and settle in their land.

How ignorant can they possibly get.. Both the Republicans and Democrats are not here to help any one but themselves.. Now you shift gear and zero in on defenseless children.

If America wants to ensure that it's Future as a world power and a Great nation is not a bright one.. This is exactly the way to do it.

Instill fear on your Future Generations and start persecuting new born babies.. Start doing Raids in the Hospitals Maternity Wards and send ICE to all the Day Care centers, Elementary Schools.. And let's not forget to stop at the Middle and High Schools and deport all of your Citizen.

That’s to me is called DISCRIMINATION And its Unconstitutional.

Hunt and persecute children.. WOW . Those in power are making the Good old Red White and Blue a Mockery.


I only pray that someone comes along who has the sense to put a stop to all this nonsense. I guess the Politicians got tired of starting wars and persecuting other countries, and have decide to persecute their own citizens.

To many this might sound like such a great Idea.. Specially since it does not effect them or their loved one.. But lets just think about this a bit.. If the Senators think that they have a valid claim to Modify and edit the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution.. And Deny Citizenship to what they refer to as "Anchor Babies".. (Which the majority of the babies born here to Illegal's are not.. In order for a Child to be called or termed ANCHOR baby that would imply that all these illegal women.. Crossed the border or came to the US already pregnant.. And solely came to the States just to give birth, which I am pretty sure that is not the case.)

Anyways back to my point, if the Minority of the people in power decide that the
14th Amendment can be changes and deny citizenship to Children who are born to illegal parents.. They can also go down the line and Decide that after the taking away citizenships from the Latinos. they can move down the list and maybe modify or edit.. Or even eliminate both the 13th and the 15th Amendment and deny Blacks/ African American Freedom and the right to vote… and they will probable argue that Many don’t exercise this right to begin so they won't miss it.

And Women once Men of color start loosing their freedoms and right.. We are not safe either. The Big Boys might even say that some of us lack intelligence to make accurate decisions and maybe it's time for Men to decide and speak for us and there go our right.

If any one reads this whether you agree or not with what I say.. Just take a moment and think about what happens when Group Think prevails and what happens when we decide to persecute someone and we use the laws and the courts to discriminate, eventually the shift will change and one of us might be the new target.

I have provided for your enjoyment the Amendments that allow us to be free and that dictate how we should be treated and how we should not be mistreated.. Once one of them changes.. There is no telling which one will be next.

sorry for the lenght... xoxox sea

selfless... not stinky and selfish..

I promised to share something new about my mother.. so here it goes, she taught me how to be selfless.. sometimes people think that you are a push over and might even call you dumb.. but not being selfish.. means placing others and their well being before yours. It means always willing to provide a helping hand even when the person does not deserve it or has done you wrong. It means knowing who you are and not letting others actions change you. I am glad she taught me how to be selfless and not SELFISH.. if she didn't I would had given up on so many special people in my life.

Promises

Since as long as I can remember there is one thing that I always told myself.. Don't make a Promise if you don't intend to keep it.

Speaking with my nephew and niece , I was reminded how intelligent we are when we are children. How even as a Child we know the meaning of a Promise and how important it is for us to for the person who made a promise to keep them. Little things such as promising to call and say Good night. Or promising to spend time with you.

As a Child I grew up away from my parents, for reason only they knew they were no longer living together. I was 2 years old and I was living with my maternal grandmother who raised me as her own. I knew my father and I would see him every 2 weeks. My mother was just a distant memory.. I saw pictures of her , but I could not remember her ever being with me. But Life was good.. I do know that my mother sent money and clothes and when birthdays came around I always had new shoes and dresses. Specially those puffy "look at me I should be on top of a Cake dresses".

And I was told they came from "mommy" who was living here in the U.S. and I was back in El Salvador. Yes I am not born here , I migrated to the states when I was 5 years old. Anyways my mother had promised herself to give my grandmother and me a better life than the one she had. And maybe as a child and a teenager and even now I sometimes have a hard time understanding.. But I must confess that I appreciate all the hard work that "mommy" did to give me a better life.

She had made a promise and I finally understand that sometimes LOVE is demonstrated in many ways. Some give hugs , some give kisses, some give life, and others give Dreams.. but just a few Give away their dreams to make ours a reality.
So to My mother I say "Thank You" .. for giving up her dream to make sure that I was able to dream.

She tells me she wanted to be a Nurse, but honestly I thing she could have been a Great Surgeon.. She is a strong woman , handling cuts , blood and all that stuff that makes me dizzy admirably. She is such a strong hearted person that I can bet she would have been a wonderful Doctor and not just a Nurse. But mother had to work to help her mother at the ripe age of 8 years old.. My nephew is 8 and I would not even let him go to the store alone..let alone work.

She tells me how she had to grow up fast and I see why she lacks certain skills that other mothers have.. and I fear that if i ever have children i will also lack them. not because we want to , but because we have never experienced them first hand. But all in all I love my Mother and I would not change her for the World.
She has made me into what I am today =)...mmmm she might not like to hear that.. But I do.. I consider myself a good person with a good head on my shoulder and a good heart. So if I am ever blessed with a child of my own.. I want them to be able to say the same about me..that I say about my mom.

I am sharing all of this because August is my mothers Birthday Month..YEAH!!!! and I am getting ready to celebrate her 63rd birthday. So I wanted to share what I appreciate about my mother, I think I will post something new every day. Sometimes we might not know how to show our parents that we love them... sometimes we might not have pretty words.. but we Do Love them.. as crazy as they may drive us.. I know I love them..

I am who I am because of them.. and I am happy with who I am . That speaks volumes!!

love your self and your parents cherish the moments that you have and forgive the wrongs that they do.. we are not Perfect.
xoxo sea =)

Update : MAC

UPDATE: MAC / RODARTE SEPT 15, 2020 COLLECTION
I was glad to hear that MAC will be donating 100% of their global profit from the sale of their RODARTE collection.

Thank MAC for showing us that our thoughts and concerns matter to you. I just hope that for future collections MAC is more careful when selecting designers to collaborate with.

So with that in mind , I have to decide if I will be purchasing any items .. will see, the cause is good, but don't like the route we had to go through to get there.

Rodarte / MAC / Juarez-- NOT a good Combination

As many of you might have heard that MAC is going to change the names to their up coming Collection which was a collaboration between MAC and Rodarte (better know as Kate and Laura Mulleavy) which is set to be released on 09/15/2010.

many may not understand the problem and may also ask themselves " what's the Big deal"?

Let me help you understand why this was not such a great Idea. Ciudad Juarez is a city were over the last decade more than 400 women specially young factory workers (from the ages of 12-22 years of age) have been murdered, victims of FEMICIDE, rape, torture. A ghostly town were even the name Juarez evokes fear in me and I am no where near there.

If you really would like to know more Google OR go to Wikipedia and type in Juarez, Murder, Women or read these articles.

http://www.amnestyusa.org

http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/serial_killers/predators/ciudad_juarez/3.html

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cruces_Lomas_del_Poleo.jpg


You would think that more thought would go into the creations of certain products. Specially products that are marketed to young women. Guess someone dropped the ball on this one. I can understand the Rodarte's lack of intelligence..or their eagerness to make a name for themselves at all costs, But MAC.. really they have been around for ages and ESTEE LAUDER. it's mother brand?? How could this slip by you??

If anyone actually looked past their comfort zone and actually cared about what going on right behind their back yard, they would have known that "JUAREZ" was not such a good idea. Some how a town know mostly for deaths and rapes of Women.. would not be such a great choice for me to get inspiration. Specially one that is so ghostly.. Next time do some research and think before leaping.

Both Mac and Rodarte or the creators Kate and Laura Mulleavy, should have done some Due Diligence.. RESEARCH.. or did they think that it was going to be a cool thing to do, to name make up products with names that evoke death?

Even "Quinceanera".. a blush set to be release as part of this collection ,as pretty as it may be..out of respect for the many Girls that were murdered before they reached their 15th Birthday or "Quinceanera".. I would not be able to buy it.

And take a look at their Promo Picture.. La Sombra de Muerte... She looks like death is creeping on her.

A Blush named "DRIFTING"..another one name "Ghost town" and many other names such as "factory," and "Juarez". Yes really disappointing, this campaign as well as RODARTES Fall 2010 Clothing Collection is missing a Sensitivity Chip.

And for the many that still don't see what's wrong with this, lets take this into account. I for one think that the Makeup Colors and products are beautiful, but the Inspiration and the Names are all WRONG!!..and the story behind the concept.. really a road trip through Texas?? And U mean to tell me they missed the Pink Crosses or the black crosses painted on light poles in and around Juarez in Memory of the victims??

I wonder how it would look if someone decided to take a road trip to Poland and the Auschwitz concentration camp and out of that they were inspired by what they saw.. wonder if any one would want to buy products named and inspired after that. Of COURSE NOT!!.. that is exactly what RODARTE is Doing. Inspiration.. call it CASHING in.. on the sorrow of others and I see Nothing ROMANTIC about death, Murder, Rape or Torture.

My Love ... by SIA

OMG!! I am on love with this song.. I watched Eclipse and I loved the part where Edward proposes to Bella and this song is playing in the back ground such a Romantic moment.. all I can say is that I love this song and I keep playing it over and Over.. it's the song playing on my Ipod right now.. so enjoy.. I hope we can all experience real Love in our life.. the type that loves unconditionally, the type that makes us be better that before , the one that sees with the heart and loves for ever..
xoxoxo

staring at the sun...

I am looking at the picture that I am using on my Blog and I can only say WOW!!!!.. the wonders that God has created never cease to amaze me..

My Nephew asked me the other day what was the thing that I like the most in the entire world? When he saw that I was taking to long he said "OKAY!" what animal do u like the most out of all that Jesus Created.

So I said.. Me, YOU... he looked at me with those huge brown eyes and gave me the look , as if he was trying to not feel sad for me.. for not seeing how great a Blue whale is or his favorite the Killer Whale.And trying to understand why I had chosen to say Us.

But I proceeded to explain to him.. how wonderful I thought he was.. How God created him PERFECT. How our Creator made us so wonderfully equipped with skin that feels and touches, but keeps us all together, How he gave us a wonderful pair of eyes so that we can see the world, colors, the sky our loved ones. How we are the best machines ever with our brains and our hands and our ability to think, how we have a heart that lets us love, how it allows us to feel empathy and care for others even if we don't know them. How our legs carry us every where and how the blood that he put in us cannot be replicated , how we are the most wonderful machine ever created with living organs that keep us alive.

He then grinned as only he can and gave me the "I get It " look and a head nod.. he finally understood how we were the greatest thing that GOD has ever created and how valuable we are to him and how special we are.

PS.. He loves whaleas and sea life.. I love Jelly fish.. I want one .

My 100th Post...Rigths/ Freedom/ Equality

I had been wanting to post something for the entire week.. but I wanted to make it an extra Special Post , since it will be my 100th Post.

This week unconsciously I have been watching videos that show the trials and tribulations that women have to deal with around the world. On the weekend I saw a Documentary called "The Burqa Battle" on the French government's steps to ban the use of burqas.

And yesterday I saw a movie titled "The Stoning", about an American woman in Iran who gets rape and eventually is stoned to Death for Adultery. Anyways after seeing both of these movies, I could only say how grateful I am to be living in this country. I was thinking about all the freedoms that we women have and that we take for granted.

We have the choice to decide to wear what ever we want and go where ever we want and not fear being beaten and stoned to death. How a woman in the States has the right to speak her mind, to choose who she will marry, to be free to enjoy her sexuality, has the ability to earn a living and own property. How we are able to get an education and become successful doctors, lawyers, teachers or what ever we might want to become. How our parents would never think of hurting us for choosing to marry a boy/man outside our own race, color religion.

And just right now reading THE UK TIMES ONLINE http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/ I came up with the following story (The picture is also from same site.

Iran backs down over stoning execution (Martin Fletcher July 8 2010 5:42PM)

Iran has backed down in the face of rising outrage and announced that a woman convicted of alleged adultery will be spared execution by stoning. But it is not clear if Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani will be executed by hanging.

To read the full story please visit FOX
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2010/07/08/iran-scheduled-stoning-mother-convicted-adultery/?test=latestnews

and all I could say was WOW!! I had just watched a movie about this yesterday and I had not seen the real story in the news. I for one don't mean to disrespect any ones religious beliefs or ideology, but I do believe that we are all created equal and that we all have civil liberties and right that NO ONE has the right to take away from us. That both men and women are equal that one is not better than the other and that GOD is the only one that can judge us. That we are all sinners and that we have No right to declare someone unworthy of life. That women as the agents that brings life into this world should be respected and love, that No man should impose his barbaric and small minded ideals on one particular group. And that as Citizens of this Earth we should all raise our voices and Call for a STOP to all these Human rights Violations that are occurring to women every where.

I am so grateful to be free and to live in this Nation, I am grateful that my Mother, Aunts, Cousins and Nieces and all My female friends do not have to worry about being persecuted and punished like these women.

But I am also sadden to know that there are millions of women around the world that are being mistreated, murdered, raped, and dehumanized.

I am sadden to live in a world that still views and treats women and 10th class citizens and how in some countries even animals have more rigths than they do.
I can only Hope for a Better tomorrow, but this can only be achieved if those of us today take a stand and vow to make a different tomorrow.

I would like for all of us to take a minute out of our own lives to try to help those who can't help themselves, Lets get educated and lets make our voices be heard.

Please visit Amnesty International and get informed and get Involved.

Katie Piper .. Survivor, such an Inspiration

Piper first told her story in a British television documentary, "My Beautiful Face," which she said gave her the platform to rebuild her life. She hopes to inspire others and wants to help other burn victims receive the same extensive rehab that she did. (Courtesy Mohammad A Jawad)

Hello everyone.. maybe you don't know who Katie Piper is , so let me tell you a bit about her, also her story can be seen on ABC's 20/20 as Elizabeth Vargas interviews her and her parents in a special that will air Friday 07/02/10 at 10pm/9pm Eastern standard time.

Katie was a former model and aspiring Television presenter on an unfortunate day as she exited an Internet Cafe, she was attacked by a complete stranger holding a what according to her Look like a Coffee cup threw Sulfuric Acid on her face. According to her the pain was so devastating she felt like her face was on fire. Sadly this attacked was traced back to her Boyfriend , who hired a young man to do this to her.

If you want to learn more please go to ABC News -- follow this link --- > http://abcnews.go.com/2020

I am so very sorry for her and the damage that was done to her face, but after listening to her story and watching the clips of the Interviews with Elizabeth Vargas, I can still see both the Physical and Internal beauty that lies in her. I am so happy that she was able to become a survivor and no longer a Victim, and that her story will inspire many of us . So that we might learn the true value of Beauty.
I really hope that she achieves her dream of being a television presenter. She has a multitude of qualities that young women can benefit from learning from her. She is Strong and Has faith and is a Survivor, she learned how to love herself even if the Lovely faced she was born with was no longer there, and I am so happy that she has made a full recovery and maybe to some people the scars in her face are not pretty, But to me.. Katie "I want you to know that the scars on your face are invisible and I see the beautiful woman that God created you to be".. You INSPIRE me and you let your inner Beauty shine. I wish that your story can teach all girls/women to love themselves.

DISCLAIMER: I HAVE POSTED a picture of Katie Piper and IT DOES NOT BELONG TO ME.. I AM GETTING THIS STORY/ IMAGES FROM ABC 20/20 and ALL CREDIT GOES TO THEM .

Burka war

I saw this really interesting Documentary on France and the governemnts banning on Burkas. According to French President Nicolas Sarkozy

It ( the burka) will not be welcome on French soil. We cannot accept, in our country, women imprisoned behind a mesh, cut off from society, deprived of all identity. That is not the French republic's idea of women's dignity.

Happy 4th of July!!!

May You all have a great weekend, please be safe and extra cautious with those nosit Fireworks..

I can do anything in JC

On Sunday I went to church like I do all Sundays, and I was so happy to listen to the message. It filled me with so much understanding and a deep desire to do my best. I learned that we should be grateful for all the things that God has provided. That it is okay to want more but to always remember to trust in him. That we can work day and night, but on our own strenght we can only get so far, before we are so drained and tired. I have been doing just that .. focusing on my wants and working so hard .. to only end up tired and over worked..so now I will trust in the Lord and I will work just as hard but this time I will allow him to be my guide and I will do his will and not mine. Easy said.. but hard to do.. but he will give me the strenght to do it.

Waiting Patiently!!

One of the hardest thing for a person is to wait patiently on JESUS.. We want things to happen over night.. and when they don't we panic.. I have to remind myself that God is in my corner. That the will of God will not take you where his grace can not Protect you!!

I asked God for somethings.. and now i must remember to be patient and to wait. God is not man to lie and when u ask him for something he will make it happen. Doubt is not from him and we must get rid of all doubt and trust that God is listening to everything we ask him for. Father I placed my all in the Altar and I asked you for a Special something.. Please Lord make the wonders of your will manifest now and do not allow ur children to suffer any more.

LOVE!!

8 Years ago.. I realized what the word Love really meant.. I never knew that one could fall in love by first sight. I learned that Love can be a painful thing.. that it makes u strive to be a better person.. 8 years ago my nephew was born and as honest as i am i can tell u he was not the cutest little thing.. LOL. he looked like a little alien all swollen. But in a couple of weeks after his birth he turned out to be such a stunner. Now 8 years old my little baby is a little man.. and today on the eve of his temporary leave.. he will always live in this house.. he sat up and looked at me and asked me " what did I see in him? He said remember when i was little well now.. what do u see.. So I understood he was asking me.. if he had changed.

I said Oh I see my Little man.. all grown up, stronger than before, now u have a voice and know how to use it, I said You are filled with The Love of Jesus in your heart , and knowledge and wisdom.. Strong legs and arms and the ability to stand up for ur self.

I pray that God knows what's best, My heart says its best for him to stay here with me, but I love him so much that I can also let him go.. and hope that his mother can give him the LOVE he deserves.. Blessings to My little Prince Ur Tia will always be there for you. Because it takes a village to raise a child and it takes Jesus and love to raise a man

Wings to fly

Today I am feeling a bit Blue and really under the weather... Like I have mentioned before I have been helping raise my nephew for the past three years. When he was 5 for reasons that i cannot state he moved in with us and we have been caring for him ever since. now his mother wants him back and he is moving back with his mom and I just hope that we have given him wings that are strong enough to help him. I pray to God and ask him to keep him safe and to help him readjusting to this second change and that this time around his mother is equipped and willing to be the mother he needs and deserves.
I am going to MISS him greatly.. =(..... but I just pray that God decides what is best for him and that this is a positive thing. I will always be there for him and his sister.. always cheering him and on and letting them know that we are equipped with some great fabric that God has given us.. that we need to strive for Success and that the past can not dictate our future.. that if we Believe the world can be ours.. just takes work, dedication and Faith is the Lord.

Love you Lots D..

The Little Prince

I am sure you all have read the wonderful book titled The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupéry
Here is the part that I enjoyed the most and I loved sharing it with my Nephew. HE is my Little Prince, I am amazed at how many lemons life has throw his way and he always comes out on top with a smile that can brighten your darkest days.. at such a tender age of 5, 6, 7 and now 8 children should never have to endure so much turmoil as he has.
But I believe that GOD has a purpose for him, and its up to the people who love him to help him get there.

My nephew is a dreamer and a lover of nature, animals and life. My only wish for him is to have a joy filled life and that happiness is in his heart always, may he trust in the Lord so that he never forgets or questions his value.

I used this book to teach him that even if the world does not believe in you.. YOU MUST BELIEVE IN YOURSELF..and never allow any one to make you doubt your purpose and your potential , specially ignorant adults..

To my Nephew D.A.P. ... God will bless You abundantly and he will cover you and protect you and you will be a great man, for the Honor and Glory of his Holy Name.. Amen.


Excerpt from The Little Prince :
Once when I was six years old I saw a magnificent picture in a book, called True Stories from Nature, about the primeval forest. It was a picture of a boa constrictor in the act of swallowing an animal. Here is a copy of the drawing.

In the book it said: "Boa constrictors swallow their prey whole, without chewing it. After that they are not able to move, and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion."

I pondered deeply, then, over the adventures of the jungle. And after some work with a colored pencil I succeeded in making my first drawing. My Drawing Number One. It looked like this:



I showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups, and asked them whether the drawing frightened them.

But they answered: "Frighten? Why should any one be frightened by a hat?"

My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing: I drew the inside of the boa constrictor, so that the grown-ups could see it clearly. They always need to have things explained. My Drawing Number Two looked like this:




The grown-ups' response, this time, was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of boa constrictors, whether from the inside or the outside, and devote myself instead to geography, history, arithmetic and grammar. That is why, at the age of six, I gave up what might have been a magnificent career as a painter. I had been disheartened by the failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Two. Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.

On faith

Faith is living life trusting in something even if u cant see it. It is believing that something is coming. Faith is believing that the desires of your heart will be answered. Faith is believing that life will get better and faith is believing in what you can not see.. sometimes we lack some of that faith to pull us through our obstacles... I am so glad that when that happens i remember that faith is something that is in me and I can depend on it to get me through the dark trials of life.
in this trying days, when many of our friends and loved one are out of work and many are facing foreclosures on their homes, it the perfect time to place your all in the hands of the Lord. Only he can bring us out of the desert in tot he Promise land.
It is so easy to Praise god when everything is going well, when life is full of Joy and happiness, when we have excess and money is not a problem.

But to believe and Honor him during difficult times.. that's really trusting in him and showing him that he is with you in good times and in bad times. It proves to him that we wont let difficulties separate us from his presence.. So Hold on My friend to the lord, because he will pull us out of the Darkest hole and his light will shine on us..

Blessing to all

Baby Puppy Pandas.. i want one

I found this picture on the AbC news website with the most adorable pups dyed to look like baby pandas, they are so adorable.. I want one

Samsung Impression

After a month and a half with this new phone.. here is my Honest Review.

I love the way it looks and its perfect for Texting.. love the size and the feel.. wanted a side kick and like I said this is the closet i can get to one.. i have AT&T..

Now the CoNS..as much as I love this phone this is the 2nd one that I have gotten , the first one was horrible , the camera function was always freezing and it kept turning Off on its own. The camera was giving me overly exposed washed out pictures. So i received a replacement and this one the camera works, but I still have the freezing when I attempt to open up my pictures.. Samsung was more helpful and offered to take a look and fix my phone free of charge under their warranty, but that meant having to be with out a phone for 3 weeks, and I am pretty sure that would have interfered with my AT&T warranty.. so I decided to keep it and work with it.. minus the freezing of my picture folder , the phone works great, Wish Samsung would recall all of the Impressions and fix them.. to keep them from freezing that would make this phone AWESOME .

ps.. my cover is off of ebay

Protection from all things that harm us

As I sit here listening to the story about the 2nd grader who went missing in Oregon , my entire being trembles at the thought that someone actually went to this child's' school and harmed him. I pray that God allows this little boy to be found and that he is unharmed. I am sadden that we are in an era where children are not even safe at school. I myself do not have any biological children, but I am helping to raise my now 8 year old nephew, and the thought that some one can harm an innocent child is revolting.

Its hitting home specially because I am the one who takes my nephew to school and i can not imagine how his step mom is feeling. From now on I am going to make sure he is inside his class room before I leave him, we are fortunate to have a closed campus and his room in inside a building so I can see him go into his class room, but from now on I am walking him all the way to his door. I don't care if they say i am paranoid or over protected, I just never want something like this to happen to any one. To all the parents and, grandparents, Aunts, uncles and care givers who are raising little ones..lets make a promise to keep our eyes open and make sure our kids are safe. Specially the little ones.. they depend on us to protect them.

my heart goes out to his family and I am asking GOD to please keep him safe and help them find him.

I am leaving you with a bible verse that I hold close and dear to my Heart. My grandmother taught me this when I was 4-5 years old , she knew she was leaving me, her time on earth was coming to an end , she said this was my shield and to use it when ever i felt in danger, I pray it over all the children of the world and I ask My Lord to keep them safe.

Psalm 91
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. [a]

2 I will say [b] of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."

3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,

6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.

8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling—
even the LORD, who is my refuge-

10 then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;

12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation."

On weddings... Happy Friday !!

So tomorrow is my Friends Sandra' and Rauls Wedding Day.. YEAH!!! I am so excited for them, I have been waiting for this day for quite some time, But they have been waiting for it way way much longer than I have :) .

Breakfast at Tiffany's ....

I spent my Sunday (well after church ) watching my Audrey Hepburn Marathon.. I love all her movies! and i love my bed.

Anyways I hope you all had a wonderful long.. weekend.. I had a blast.

spent some time with my significant other =) went to Dinner with him twice.. loved every minute of it and watch the Prince of Persia. Its a big deal to me because he works at night so we have hard time scheduling dates, but I am so happy that he was willing to not sleep to hang out on the weekend. means a lot because he works from 10 pm - 6 am.. staring Friday thru Tuesday so I know he is tired and wants to sleep.

Had Breakfast with Mom Sunday and Monday. Went to Mall, Mac and shopping with Rosy on Saturday . it was a great weekend spent some time with my mom and dad and slept some.

Cant wait for the next long weekend. Also Prayers got to all the People in central America who were hit by Hurricane Agatha and to those who may have lost loved ones.

gotta go break is over.

Can't buy self esteem at the the Mall

so yesterday I spent the entire day at the Century City mall, and u was planing on going to Watch Sex and the City, but it did not happen.. all showing were sold out until 10:45 pm. Anyways I spent 3 hours at H&M and I came home with some goodies. Then we headed to Bloomingdale's.. and the MAC counter while there I was paying attention to my friend and i realized that we are all not blessed with High Self Esteem, that some of us our parents have left deep wounds that effect the way we look at ourselves when we are adults.

I wish that all girls and women had loving mothers to show them how to become independent and strong women , but that is sometimes not the case. And sometimes we need to look inside our souls to learn who we really are and all the negatives that others say about us should be erased from our memory banks

Memorial Day..

hello every one, I am taking a couple of minutes to update and wish every one a happy long weekend.. may it be fun and filled with excitement.

What are my plans for this weekend.. lets see
Friday: Date night with my baby we are going to see ( The Prince of Persia) .
Saturday : Girls day out with my friend Rosy continue my b-day celebration almost done, hit the Mac Counter and Watch Sex and the City 2
Sunday : Church with Family and Lunch with Mom maybe we take a trip to Macy's
Monday: BBQ with the boyfriend..

I will make sure I get some rest specially since my Nephew AKA my partner in crime will not be home this weekend I have to find something to do.. so I will keep myself busy.

And even though I do not have any one in the Military , living or fallen I want to Thank the Families who do and send them Blessings and a Great Big Thank you to the Men and Women of the Armed Forces those who served and those who are still serving.. May God bless and keep you all safe.
And for those heroes whom we remember this Monday.. THANK YOU!!!
"What greater love , but to sacrifice ones life for others.. for that I thank You ".

Indian Food Yum Yum ..

Hello there been away due to Family issues... UGH!!!! any way I am back and I have so much that I missed posting.. like my Birthday.... I ate the cake and did not take a picture so I will post a picture of that later..

I am still celebrating I use up the entire month to celebrate.. Yesterday I went with my friend Jo to eat Indian food. First time and I was not sure how it was going to be. we went to the Electric Lotus on Franklin and Vermont . And even thought he reviews were mostly negative, I really enjoyed the food. So try not to listen to others and their reviews.

Here is the address : 1870 N. Vermont Ave. (Franklin Ave.) Los Angeles, CA 90027

We had Curry Chicken with Yellow curry mixed with red bell pepper, Spinach and potato's and lentils (Yum Yum) and flat bread.. really good. And the Service was nice, maybe just a bit too eager to help. The best part was at the end we had this nice waiter who came to pack up our food to take and boy was he fast... it was like a mini show..very humble.

NEVER GIVE UP, Nick Vujicic in a School

WOW!!! he is Amazing!!!!! You are beautiful just the way YOU are!!!

hello!!!

So I have been MIA for about a week.. been super busy and trying to deal with some drama in my life. Plus I have been working OT and on the weekends.. so you can imagine how tired I have been. As well as printing applications and asking myself " What am I supposed to do with my life "? If any one out there has the answer please let me know.. LOL!!!

Thought of the Today.. be happy and grateful for what you have , it can be worst..

Wish me Luck I am working on something at work and I pray that Monday I receive some great news..

Now enough with the serious stuff. last weekend I spent the day at the mall, went to SEPHORA.. can u believe I had a gift card that I received as a Xmas gift in 2008 and I had not used it.. So i used it and picked up the most adorable kabuki brush from TOKIDOKI..

Then I went with my friend Rosy to Bloomings... and MAC to get her MAC Attacked and she just became a Mac Makeup Junkie/ I tell u that is some hard work i put in..Then we went to see Clash of the Titans I love it!!

OHH Yeah and I got my new Cell I love it!!

Man in the Mirror... Make that change !!

Happy Saturday .. every one. I am on my mini break ( I am at work) .. yes I know.. But I need the $$$$$$ so gotta work .. I am all alone and I am on a time Schedule.

Anyways.. I was just listening to my Favorite Song of all times.. and was inspired to write. If you are wondering which song it is.. It is " Man in the Mirror" by none other than Michael Jackson.

Growing up as a child we used to listen to his music and I remember being glued to the TV when ever he Performed.. One thing I regret is not being old enough to go see him Perform. He was captivating and the music spoke to my heart, I love many of his songs but two of them, are meaningful to me.

But anyways..as a child I loved this song.. because it so uplifting and its so true.. If I want to make a change I have to start with the person I see every day in the mirror (Me).

and I guess that seeing images of children suffering and living in poverty through his videos inspired me to do something. I remember that through his music and video images I learned that the world is a great big place where change needs to be done and help needs to be given to many. Sometimes we get caught up with our selfish nature and we fail to see the greater picture.

anyways time to go back, just want to say be grateful for what GOD has given you, and share it with the world. xoxoox sending you all hugs and kisses and smiles.. have a blessed and happy weekend.

Ps.. I live in LA and very closed to the Staples Center so I was lucky enough to be able to go and leave a message for MJ on this Giant Board of Love..

Weekend here I come!!!

Hello beautiful people.. I am counting the hours till the week end arrives... waiting anxiously for my New phone.. its like not an IPhone, because after consideration and the fact that it has NO Insurance and I am not that careful , its best that i refrain from getting one, my brother already lost his first one. so i opted for a Samsung Impression.. looks like a sidekick and I had wanted the pink side kick for ever but it was outdated.. so this is the next best thing.. So excited looking to have a cute face plate for it and a mirror cover similar to the one Elle from

allthatgliters21 has on her iPhone.

Besides that I am waiting to sleep it a bit on Saturday and just have some Me time.

On Planning!!

Sitting here in front of my computer thinking.. thinking.. and wondering what the future holds. I think I need to stop worrying so much about the future and focus more on living today!!!

Its almost midnight and I am still up.. seems like my brain has its own mind and does not want me to sleep.. instead it keeps me up thinking random things.. like the FUTURE!!

something no one knows.. I might not even be here tomorrow.. and I am wasting my today worrying and planning for what may come.. or it may never come..

two weeks go or even a month ago I thought I had a plan.. and I thought it was going to work.. well as I sit here tonight.. I realize that no matter how much we try to plan, one thing is for sure the Future is never guaranteed..

well good night and may we all have a great tomorrow.. and an even better TODAY!!

I am a Rainbow Too !! Bob Marley techon Style ...

Listening to this song .. brings back sweet memory of when I used to work at MACY'S





Click here and enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwPqZ7UgsEM

Yes I used to work at Macy's and I loved everything except the pay.. I was making peanuts..( Then again I was working as a part timer).. but I was saving so much on Clothes ( Employee 20% discount) .. and on everything for my home.

And I was having so much fun.. I would see and meet new people every day.. Now I am in the Corporate world caged in a cubicle with NO WINDOWS!! makes me want to say Macy's Here I come .
Sun is shinning, the weather is sweet.. make me wanna move your dancing feet..

I'm a rainbow too
To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know, y'all, can you understand?

To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know, y'all, can you understand?
[When the mornin´ gather the rainbow, Want you to know, I'm a rainbow too]

Enjoy your day.. and make good use of your time.. Tell people that you love them and make time to enjoy the Little things that Life has to Offer.. like the Sky and the sun , the birds and just live. And always remember to call and check in on your Parents and Siblings.. sometimes they need us and we might now know.. and its a good thing for them to know that you are there.

Happy Easter Sunday

Just wanted to wish you all a very blessed Easter. May you enjoy the day with all your loved ones.

As I mentioned before I attend church, and boy was I impressed today.. my whole church was packed even the second floor and the balcony.. I had to sit in the far corner , not my usual center row right in the middle, under neath the nice lights and the cool air conditioning vent. Instead I was in the far right on the corner.. but the view was excellent ( we have theater seating) so it was good location.

And I did not mind.. I really loved seeing all the members and the guests. We had a replica of the Tomb of Jesus and we had the opportunity to walk through it while offering prayers for our families. I had my Niece and Nephew with me.. they love the whole experience. They know that Easter is not only about the Easter Bunny.. don't get me wrong I love chocolate, but Easter to me is not about the Fluffy Easter Bunny, it's about Jesus and the Love he has for us.

Also Here in LA.. we had a sudden shake.. there was a 6.9 earthquake in Baja California may every one there be safe .. so that ruffled my Dad's Feathers.. I don't blame him.. Dad suffered a stroke in 2004 and he has his left side asleep.. so things like earthquakes worry him a bit since he is limited in mobility.. but I keep telling him he is safer inside our house than outside.

On the Lies of Men..

As I sit here getting ready for bed.. I am asking myself why did God create men and women so different. Why is it so easy for a man to jump from relationship to relationship as if he was changing underwear?? How can a man give a woman a ring and ask her to be his bride and all of a sudden .. BOOOMM!!! now she is a SYcko Chick.. How can a man claim to love a woman for years and all of a sudden, on one of those frustrating days.. he tells her that he thinks she is a money hungry Witch and how everything under Gods' earth is wrong with her?

How is it possible for a man to tell a woman he loves her.. and have another woman on the side..

and the person who at one point was the best thing on earth.. all of a sudden is the person they detest.. All I have to say is that God has something better prepared for us all , and if you are so misfortune to meet up with one of these TOADS!!! don't give up... the Prince is somewhere near..

VALUE your self and Love your self.. Respect yourself and demand it from others.. if he is unable to see you for who you are and value you, then he is not the one for you.. Even if we want them to be.. reality is.. they are not.. Love should not be this complicated.. love and honor mean something.. respect and trust are the foundation of any relationship and if you don't have it.. walk away.. and wait on the right one who will give you that.

And if the person who you are with does not think that a ring or a wedding is important.. and unless you feel the same way.. it pretty much means he does not think you are worth the effort.. so Walk away..

Sometimes we get caught up in the pressure of society and see that all of our friends are getting married , so we want the same thing.. and we are so blinded to see that the person who we think is Mr. Right is in reality Mr. Wrong..

Its 2010.. and all I can say is that If I want a house I can work for it, if I want a car .. I can get one.. If you want a baby.. you can even adopt one.. so why do We need Husbands.. we need them for companionship.. for friendship, for emotional support ( not Financial).. and if the man you are with dislikes everything about you, they way you smile, your personality, the way you speak, your facial expressions, and thinks you want too much and compares you with others, then walk on by and kiss him good bye.. you don't need that type of person in your life. Because the truth of the matter is that he does not Love or Even like you.. he is used to you and maybe in love with your physical appearance.. but doe not love you for who you are.

Love accepts and likes our imperfections.. Love appreciates and does not make you feel worthless, love loves you for who you are and make you a better person.. Love does not make you doubt yourself and it does not make you ashame of who you are, your likes, dislikes, dreams, hopes beliefs, love does not judge and love does not give you stress, it does not make you walk in egg shells, it lifts you up and lets you fly.. if your love does not do this for you.. then its not Love, and you are dealing with a Toad... gotta walk on by

Good Friday!!!

Blessings to all of you on this Good Friday..   I  am enjoying my days off.. did not do what I had planned to .. due to a Person changing their  mind, but Still managed to enjoy myself.. I was able to go to church and participate on some of our Activities.

 

Wednesday Washing of the Feet.. will post Pix  later.

Thursday.. Family blessing 

and Good Friday .. participating of the breaking of bread

still have Easter Sunday to go.

I am sitting typing this.. ironically because my Little nephew( who just turned 8 ) was on line and mistakenly attempted to clean my Mac monitor with a paper that had Gum on it.. so YES!!! I had one of those OMG!! moments.. but I managed to clean it.. I am just writing this to kill time so that he understands the magnitude of his transgression ( if i clean it fast he would think it was not a big deal)  He must learn to be responsible and consequences.. 

Also since I did not go out of Town ... for my mini vacation.. I used some of the Money on the MAc Counter ( mini haul).. will post pictures, this weekend.

Going to eat dinners.. My mom made the best fish ever... Yum  Blessings to all 

Happy Tuesday!! Vacation.. Here I come

So after almost 7 years of working non stop. I have finally decided to take a mini break... and I will start my mini vacation at the end of this work day!!!

What am I going to do.. I still don't know but just knowing that I do not have to go to work for a week is so worth it..

I know one thing.. I will make a trip to the Mac Pro store.. I really really want  the Pink Pearl Pigment.

And maybe take a scenic drive and take some new pictures.. will see and I will be sure to post it here.. 

How many Loves can a Person Have???

So as we sit here today , I asked My co worker.. this Question " Is it really Possible for a man to say He Loves Two or more Women at the same Time? "

To me that is Impossible , it will be more feasible to get a rat to learn to drive a Car than for that to occur.

But i thought I would ask that question.. since the media is providing us with these scenarios and we are hearing every where how a man can cheat on his wife with multiple affairs and still claim they love the wife..

That to me is IMPOSSIBLE. I believe that if a man has two girlfriends or is dating multiple women , then he really does not love any of them.

But then again men are mysterious creatures and they might not see it the way I do. Never the less if my significant other has someone else while he is claiming to love me.. the truth of the matter is that He really does not care about me or any one else.

And its time women start to realize that they deserve to have one person that loves them and most importantly that they Respect you.

I was listening to a Morning show today and the topic was the worst ways to get dump.. one poor girl got dump via IM.. and another one via text and one poor woman was abandoned on an Island with no money and no way to get off the Island via ferrie by her cheating ' jerk" of a Husband. I felt so bad for them and listening to their stories made me livid.. its time we learn to value our selves and not settle for any Tom Dick and Harry. And Never allow your self to be victimized.. Cheat of me Shame on You.. Allow to be victimized Shame on Me..

Palm Sunday

 Happy Palm Sunday...

Just came back from Church and as I have mentioned before I feel so revitalized after service. Today marks the beginning of Holy Week.  And  I just want to Wish you all a Happy Sunday.. May you and all your loved ones  have a Blessed week.  May You find comfort ,if you need it, May you have strenght  when you are tested, may you have Faith when all seems gloom.. may you feel loved and know that You are loved if you ever doubt it.. and may you be filled with Joy. Blessings to all xoxoxo..sea 

Old Pictures..

I remember that I was so busy I never posted a Picture of My nephews costume. we do not celebrate Halloween, for religious beliefs , but we are also aware that we are raising a little boy and as far as our decision to not celebrate that day is Justified by our own choice , we also understood that he needed to be allowed to make that choice himself. So I set him up with this.. the closes i could get to MAX from "Where the Wild Things Are" .

I bought a Wolf costume and made the modifications to make him look like Max.

On girls that are Friends..

I realized that I am one of those enigmas .. out in the world.. who does not have a set of girlfriends.. all my life  I was never the girl who had a BFF's or even one BFF.. So as I sit here contemplating my next trip to the Mac counter and seeing who is available to go with me.. it just dawned on me that I don't have any girls that are my Friends..

=(.. Times like this is when I wish I had a Sister an older sister preferably.

I have cousins but we are not close MMmmm.. I do have a 15 year old niece =D.... yes that will work

I will recruit her and make her my Friend. [ =(... yeah I know its sad!! ]

This is on my to do list.. get some Girlfriends..

RIPP.. Ripp.. the sound of Cloth ripping !!

LOL.. I did not realize when and where my pant tore on me.. for all I know I could have been walking around showing every one my yellow white thigh.

HA ha.. that sound so funny.. I bet they wondered why does this girl not match... My face and arms are golden and bronzed =( But the rest of me is as pale as a "Cullen" and as much sun as I might get on those parts I don't sparkle.. and I don't tan.

Anyways I am stuck on my chair until i can go home.. I have a 3 inch tear in the inside of my thigh and I am not about to risk making it a whole 12 inch long.

has this ever happen to any of you... I know mental note keep a pair of extra pants in my work area for emergencies and days like today.

well 45 minutes to go .. see if I survive... 2 break is over and back to work I go.

On life..

So I my co-worker and I are trying to see what life changing decisions we have to make to get our selves out of this rut we feel we are in..

Don't get us wrong we have a Job and we are grateful but we want something more for ourselves.

Literately (the 3 of us) have to work really hard for our money and we have so much stress while the rest of co workers.. go about enjoying their day and make way more money than we do.

We are starting on a get free plan.. and we are trying to figure how to survive and make it in America.. reaching the American dream while not burning our selves ill..before we achieve it.

My break is over and now back to work and back to planning..

Not so Beachy... sunday..

Spend the weekend with My nephew and niece.. Saturday we had a Birthday party for my Nephew.. Wow!!.. He is 8 years old.. =(.. our little boy is growing up so fast and soon he is going to be a pre -teen...then a teenager and then away he will go to college. Its exciting and sad at the same time.. he is changing but I pray that he grows up to be a great man.

if you are planning on going there DON'T..

Lovely Sunday..with JC

I have missed my quiet time with JC.. ( Jesus Christ) my Lord and savior. Life has been taking too much of my time.. and I hate it.. I miss going to church and as weird as that may sound.. I am proud to say That I LOVE GOD and I love GOING TO CHURCH. I was missing my fuel.. i was spiritually running on empty.. when I don't make time for me and Jesus  I feel like Kitty Litter so I decided that even if I am not able to go to church during the week as much as I want to I can still be in communion with him. One way is by writing on my Blog.. see I have so much to be grateful to him that I can spend hours speaking about him... but I don't and I remember that when God manifests his Power in your life you need to tell about it so that others can learn from your experience.

Today I went to the late service which starts at 9:30 am.. yes we have an earlier one at 7am , but I was tired.. so I slept in , But it was not my doing.. I have realized that when ever i do that I receive such a blessing when I go alone to the 9 am service. 

Today was a day just like that I felt like the message was exactly what I needed to hear  and I had me time with the Lord. I was able to tell him how much I need him in my life and ask him to keep me safe to guide my life and to teach me how to be obedient to him, I received from him the certainty that I am not alone and that he will be there with me. That I only need to believe and seek him and he will be there to help me. I have so many plans for my life and today I placed them all in Jesus altar and I asked him to guide me to my future to bless my path and my decisions.. I am planning on getting married, something that my mother does not quite accept, but I trust that God will be with me and that he will protect me and keep me safe. 

I prayed and asked him to allow my mother to be more accepting and I asked for wisdom and strength to make my own decisions and not my mothers, I love her and respect her but she can not choose who I marry.. yes you heard that correct if it was up to my mother she would arrange a marriage for me, actually I think she had, but my brother took care of that for me... by simply saying to the person that I no longer lived at home.

Anyways I am glad I went to church today.. almost missed service because the time changed on me and second  I was tired.. but I was glad I didn't ..

May you all have a Blessed week and may you all know that the Lord in Heaven Loves all of us, all we have to do is humble ourselves and call upon him.

XOXO

Hello friends in Cyberland..

 I am so excited and thoughtful.. with life..  I finally went to see Alice in Wonderland with my Special Love and we even took my Nephew (7) and My Niece (5) with us, yeah I know Is that movie appropriate well I was scared that it wasn't but when we got to the theater there were a lot of other little kids and the answer was YES ...

They loved it .. and even though most of the reviews were negative, we enjoyed the movie and the time we spent together .

but OMG!! 3D movie tickets are not cheap.. and get ready almost all the previews that we saw where for upcoming 3D movies, like Toy Story 3 and How to train a dragon..

Alice In Wonderland!!!

I have tickets to go see Alice in Wonderland tomorrow.. I am so excited  I love the  the Story.. I love Tim Burton... But above all I LOVE JOHNNY DEPP!!!!!!!!

I love the Rain!!!

So I live In Los Angeles, and we have finally been hit with a Rain storm!!
we sure needed that rain, and I am aware that rain brings problems to some people , but I just love it. I can sit and watch the rain fall all night long and the best part is falling asleep listening to the sounds of the rain drops on your roof, Its magical!!

I know it is also dangerous, specially when you drive because you always have that one person who is speeding like a maniac and the Traffic lights always have issues, But Thank God for rainy days.

Hope all of you are having a wonderful week and may you have an extraordinary week end ..

Smile even though your Heart is Breaking... Just Smile!!

Hello there just needed some time to vent so I am posting this Blog..

Sometimes life is so hard that you feel it is a Joke.

The hardest thing in life is to be the responsible one. It feels like the world depends on you and that can be tired some. 

 I am single and I have no Children of my own, but I feel like I am a mother of 12. I am the eldest and My parents depend on me for everything, Sometimes it gets draining. 

I have a full time job that is very demanding, by the end of the day I am so tired all I want to do is go home and sleep . But even though my work day is over I am not done working.

As soon as I get home , I have to do homework with my nephew, who lives with us , I have to listen to my parents and answer questions, look at mail , get bills and focus on their needs.

Needless to say sometimes that can be overwhelming and makes me want to run out of the house as fast as Possible. sometimes I am afraid that if something happens to me what will happen to them ? I think they depend on me to much and  that it is draining.

Sometimes I fear that I won't get to form my own life because my entire life feels like it is focused on them and making sure they are ok.. 

I pray that God sees me and helps me xoxoxo

Happy Belated New Years!!!

I have been quite busy these last months.. as I mentioned earlier we have a blast giving the Knapp sacs to the kids who needed them, And I really  loved this years , I met some really nice kids who unfortunately are going through some tough times. But I believe in a Powerful God and he will rescue them.

we delivered the Gifts on a very cold and windy Day and that brought on my Cold . Had it since the week of Christmas and it stayed with me till today. I am bundled up in bed dying with a horrible cough.

So I had been in bed trying to rest, For New years I went to  New Years service at my Church. we started and 10:30 pm and at the stroke of midnight we end and start the year with a prayer and in the presence of the lord. Wonderful experience , even though I felt like kitty litter I made sure not to miss it. What made it extra special was my family and the addition of my Niece(4yrs) and Nephew(7yrs). They were sitting all bundled up in their baby blankets singing away.

So even if it's late I want to wish you a Happy and very Blessed New Years!!!!

may this be the season for your harvest and may it be plentiful. may all your dreams and hopes be realized and mat the road to your destination be guided and secure.

XOXO and blessings in all your 2010 plans.

HAPPY Holidays!!!

Sorry I have been MIA... been super duper busy at work, and thinking what to do with my life.

I find myself  pondering about life and where I am headed.. 

well the Holidays are here and I want to wish you all Happy Holiday season. Tomorrow I am headed with my friend and we will be distributing nap sacks. 

 I should have posted this a while back specially for those of you who might had wanted to make a donation.. but We always have next year. 

Anyways I will be busy tomorrow with this and I will try to take some pictures of what we do, but i really do not like to take pictures of who we give the things to.. don't like to just does not feel right.

anyways I hope you all have a blessed time with all your loved ones, and remember to share with those who are less fortunate..
