Kids and life

I truly understand why parents love when they get the few minutes in the bathroom (before the kids start knocking on the door), shower time, nap time, or when someone else takes the kids. I am watching a couple kids right now and I am sooooooooooooo happy that they are sleeping right now. Though I do need to turn off the tv so that I don't have to keep watching the Cat in the Hat show. The movie was bad enough I don't wanna watch the tv show. Went to the bathroom earlier and all of a sudden I felt a disturbance in the force and and looked to the left and the door was wide open and both kids were watching me do my business. That was not pleasant at all.

The Prayer

So my sister and I went to Disneyland over the summer and she told me about Andrea Bocelli. I knew of him but never heard any of his songs. She proceeded to The Prayer by him and Celine Dion. By the end of the song I was crying like there was no tomorrow. It is the most beautiful song that has meaning that anyone can relate to.
 

THE PRAYER - ALL ENGLISH LYRICS
Celine : I pray you'll be our eyes and watch us where we go
And help us to be wise, in times when we don't know.
Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way
Lead us to the place, guide us with your garce
To a place where we'll be safe.

Andrea :
The light that you give us

Celine:
I pray we'll find your light

Andrea:
will stay in our hearts

Celine:
And hold it in our hearts

Andrea:
Reminding us

Celine :
When stars go out each night

Andrea :
That in my prayer
You are the everlasting star

Celine :
Let this be our prayer

Andrea:
There's so much faith

Celine:
When shadows fill our day

Andrea:
Lead us to a place

Celine:
Guide us with your grace

Celine & Andrea:




Give us faith so we'll be safe
We dream of a world with no more violence
A world of justice and hope
Grasp your neighbors hand
As a symbol of peace and brotherhood

Andrea:
The strength that you give us

Celine:
We ask that life be kind

Andrea:
Is the wish

Celine:
And watch us from above

Andrea:
That everyone may find love

Celine:
We hope each soul will find

Andrea:
In and around himself

Celine:
Another soul to love

Celine & Andrea:
Let this be our prayer

Celine:
Let this be our prayer

Andrea:
Just like every child

Celine:
Just like every child

Celine & Andrea:
Need to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
And the faith that
you've lit inside us
I feel will save us.

I came to win

There comes a time when there is a need for a insiprational song to come along and just inspire people. My inspirtration song is Fly by Nicki Minaj and Rihanna. I recently discovered this song on Songsa and was surprised that I had never heard the song before. This is a song that everyone needs to listen to because it has a true message that everyone needs to hear.

Everyone goes through so much in their lives and thinks that they can't move on from what their lives are but people need to learn that they can fly and and succeed in their lives. It starts with just a little change and it is amazing the change that happens with that first little change.

Job hiring

This is my little annoyance. I am in search of a job at the moment so I went to craigslist and sent out emails to some posts and one person had the nerve to give me advice. 


I have multiple emails set up in my mail client on my Mac and didn't realize what email I was sending the email from and I had forgotten to send along my resume so he sent a email back with this: 
" Normally I would have just tossed this email but in an attempt to help you
find a job I thought I would give you a bit of advise.
First off, always send your resume and a proper cover letter.  Time is
valuable and nobody gives a darn if you are interested in this position.
You better be showing them something about you in a resume and letter to get
them interested in calling you.
Secondly.  Change your email address.  Its unprofessional and immature.
Not many people in a professional environment want an "uptownbabe" working
handling their business.

Good luck to you" 

As someone whose dad was a English major and English teacher for awhile I have a firm grasp of the English language. So I sent a reply back to the person saying that it was advice not advise, gave definitions of both words, and that it was either working or handling. Can't have both unless you place "and" between the two words. They then had the nerve to respond back to me saying "lol touché" That is very unprofessional to have grammar issues AND after the person correcting them say lol touché. It is disrespectful to say that to a potential employee or someone that you know casually. 

Mind your own business

So I went to Starbucks with my sister today after my final this morning just to get coffee with her and I arrived before her so I found a table with a outlet so that I can study for my next final. There was a couch that was behind me. My sister finally showed up and we got some coffee and sat back down at the table. There was a older guy that was behind me on the couch and every time that her and I would start talking the guy would stare at us. I didn't realize that he was looking at us till my sister said something so I told her to let me know that he looked at us again. So he did and I turned around and asked him if he wanted to join in on what we were talking about.

I can be rude but I have NEVER in my life have I been so rude to look at the people that were talking next to me. Yeah I will listen in but I know better to not look at them while they talked. Though what this guy was doing was more then just looking he was staring at us. When I turned around to ask him if he wanted to join in he got all flustered, grabbed his laptop and left.

If you are going to be listening in to what the people are talking about don't stare at them. To be good at listening in is to LISTEN to them not look at them every time they start talking. After awhile they will catch on to you and they will stop talking or just leave.

Who are you really?

Have you ever talked to your neighbors? I mean really talked to them?

I know few of my neighbors but it seems like I don't truly know who they are. When I come home from school the last thing that I want to do is talk to someone because I either have way too much homework, way too much on my mind or I am just not in the mood to be talking to someone.

There is such a social disconnect among people it is nuts. Yes we have blogs, twitter, Facebook, emails, ims and various other things that keep us "connected." This is not a real interaction among people. No matter how much you are addicted to such outlets there is still a little bit of a person that wants physical contact with a real human.

I got to thinking that if anything did happen to me no body would think to come check on me. I am also guilty of not being there for them either. Yes I do smile and wave as I pass them but nobody ever just stops and just talks about the weather and various other things.

We need to get back to those days where you trust your neighbors with your property and will trust that if you see something strange at their place that you would call them and then call the cops.

Ghosts

Have you ever felt like someone was watching you?

Ever felt that you are not alone?

I know both of those feelings. I have ghosts/spirits what ever you want to call them living in my house. Yup you heard me right. There are ghosts living in my house. They love to just hang out with me to keep me company. There is a little kid that lives there and they get shy when ever one of my friends comes over. I can't seem to tell if the kid is a male or a female but trusts me very much.

I have always seen them and been aware of them since I was a little girl. I will never forget the time that I saw one walking around my house. Even waved hi to me. It didn't even bother me even at such a young age.

Last summer my man and I went on a trip and one of the places that we went to was the Winchester house in San Jouse, CA and I swear I was greeted by Sarah Winchester herself when I went into her bedroom. We did the grand tour of the house and the grounds and one of the stops was the bedroom that Sarah slept in till she slept in till she passed away. I had stuck around in the room just to look around (the group hadn't gone far) and I noticed someone came from the closet on the other side of the room. Now it was impossible for anyone to be close to the closet because no one was allowed behind the velvet rope or they would have gotten busted for it, and I was the only person who was physically in the room. So I turned towards the closet and I saw Sarah standing there looking me over. I know what she looked like because of the research I have done about her house.

I had seen a special on the Travel Channel about the history of the house. It was so interesting that I had started doing my own research about it and they had photos of her. Sarah and I just stood there staring at each other and all of a sudden she got a smile on her face and pointed behind me. At that moment my man came back into the room to tell me that I had to catch up to the group cause they were moving to a different room.

So a question for you guys: have you ever had an experience with a spirit/ghost?

Lost and confused.

24 years old almost 25 and I have nothing good to prove for my life. I don't have a job, I can't drive and I am pretty much failing out of college. I can't handle the stress right now. My parents do nothing but bitch at me about how I need to bust my ass by getting a job, driving and working harder in college. I have started applying for different places and they don't seem to believe me that I have applied to different places. It is tempting to just leave this place and just live on the streets. They seem to have it better and it is easier for them.


My advice is that people need to figure out that they shouldn't be so hard on others because you don't know what battle they are going through. Some have it easy and others are just holding on by their finger nails. So be nice to everyone you meet. Give them a smile it would make their day if they are having a bad day or not.

Relationship Quotes

I have complied a list of different relationship quotes. Please enjoy. 


Long Distance Relationship Quotes

Love is not about having someone, but protecting them, and making them happy.. Even you are being apart in miles

The scariest thing about distance is that you don’t know whether they’ll miss you or forget you

Missing someone is a part of loving them. If you're never apart, you'll never really know how strong your love is.

Distance between two hearts is not an obstacle, it's a beautiful reminder of just how strong true love can be


Distance.. It is just a test of how far love can travel.

No. Im not single. Im in a long distance relationship because my boyfriend lives in the future.

Distance never separates two hearts that really care, for our memories span the miles and in seconds we are there.... 

You can’t stop loving someone, but if they’re bad for you, then you need to leave them, and love them from a distance.

No matter how far apart we are, we will always be together. I carry you in my heart every second of every day.

Distance doesn't kill relationships, doubts do.

Distance means nothing when someone means everything.

When you really love someone, age, distance, height, weight is just a number.

Don't follow your heart, follow your mind - 'cause you can't control who you love, but you have complete control over who you hate.

Love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation. 
- Khalil Gibran.

If someone doesn't appreciate your presence, maybe you should give them your absence.

Love isn't just about hugs and kisses. It's about trust, compromises, sacrifices & the will for the relationship to last.

"If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together. There is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you."

Spending time apart from someone shows you how much you really need them in your life.

Man is a knot into which relationships are tied. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Flight to Arras, 1942, translated from French by Lewis Galantière Having someone wonder where you are when you don't come home at night is a very old human need. ~Margaret Mead Shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half a sorrow. ~Swedish Proverb Remember, we all stumble, every one of us.

Justin Beiber

Justin Beiber. Those are two words that can send any pre-teen or teenage girl into a tizzy. As a 24 year old almost 25 year old female I don't understand the attraction to his looks or to his music. I grew up when there artists that actually had somewhat decent music. Justin was first discovered by Usher when Justin had uploaded a video to youtube singing a song. This gave those unsigned artists hope that they would get noticed but to those that are still there praying for their chance here is a piece of advice: DON'T SELL OUT!!!!

That is the biggest piece of advice. People think that they need to change who they are once they get noticed.

School.

Why is it that we need to have any kind of History class after High School? Unless you are a History major then I understand. I am looking over all the classes that I need for general education classes and most don't make sense. Wouldn't the History classes that I had in High School enough to last me long enough?

Life

Life sucks. As hard I try to make my life somewhat normal there is always something that comes along and knocks what I have accomplished into dust and I have to start all over again. Right now all I want to do is curl up and die. Nothing seems to be going right and it is making me depressed. Where is this God that people talk about? Where is he in the time of need? I am just fed up with how shitty my life is. No one seems to realize that I have changed and stuff that I have done in the past is not who I am today and not what I do now.

If there is anyone reading this please let me know what you have done to get over the rough times in your life. I need some advice on how to deal with this.

I am a full time student and I am currently jobless at the moment. Most of my "free" is spent doing homework. My parents don't realize that I am having a hard time with my classes so they decide that they will bother me every few minutes to ask me something or to do something. I have been drinking nothing but coffee for the last four weeks just to keep me awake. I have never really gotten any kind of sleep in the past but because of this semester I sleep maybe three hours out of the night because I have so much going on in my life that I just can't keep up.

Relationships.

Relationships are the hardest things to have at any age. But it is something that everyone craves. I'm at the point in mine where I am expecting way to much of my man and it is killing me that he doesn't always come through and live up to my expectations. Why is it that we have to put so much pressure on the other person just so that we can feel loved and wanted? I am still trying to figure it out.


*whispers to kenny and tells him that karen and i an are not using the term cancelled but rather on hiatus*

One of those days.

I know it is going to be one of those days because I have had three cups of coffee already and I have not had any kind of effects from it.

I'm am getting over a cold AND I just started that ever so lovely time of the month today. Was suppose to be working in the nursery at church but I can't because of the fact that I have a cold and that I don't want to give the rug rats what I have. Which doesn't make sense because that was how I got this bloody cold anyways.

All I want to do is curl up and either sleep or die. Not sure what I want to curl up and do.

Well I'm going to go finish my coffee and maybe even think about what my next blog post will be about.

Cinematic Spectacular water show.

Universal Studios Orlando has announced that they will have a new water called Cinematic Spectacular. This is a combination of World of Color, Fantasmic and Illuminations that Disney has created. What makes Universal think that they can create a show that has already been created by Disney? Granted I'm sure that water shows were created before Disney had created their water shows but Disney has always had a strong hold on having amazing water shows that tug at your heart strings. Here is a video talking about Universal Orlando's new water show:

Peta and celebs taking their clothes off for helping animals

Why do celebrities think that it is ok to bare it all just to support animals? What are they trying to prove by stripping it all off? Yes it does bring attention to Peta but it is usually just for a little bit then it dies off. Yes if a celeb causes a massive controversy about how they posed or what the photo was about yes it will bring more attention to Peta and what they do for animals but the problem with people today is that society has such a short attention span that they will talk about it for a couple weeks and then some new controversy will spring up and cause people to talk about that and totally forget about what Peta had done. What would cause Peta to get their name back into the media is to do something totally outrageous and they will keep doing it just so their name gets out there.

Yes what Peta is doing is a good thing because they are bringing attention to how bad animals are treated but they can do it in more civil ways. They are most known for their outrageous protests. In my honest opinion that doesn't help them in anyway because people know them for their outrageous protests and the outlandish things that they do and not what they are trying to tell people about the cruelty of animals.

Please stop.

 take the bus places because sadly I don’t drive. All I have to say is to the people on the bus when you see someone with headphones please don’t bother me. There is a reason why I am wearing my headphones. It’s because I don’t want to talk to strangers because my parents told me not to talk to strangers.

Also if you try and talk to me while wearing headphones please do not get mad at me and start yelling at me because I’m “ignoring” you. I can’t hear you because of the music that I am listening to. Not because I am ignoring you. Please don’t start yelling at me or start cursing me out. Also when you talk to me have the decency to look me in my eyes and not at my DDD boobs. Yes they are big but I am also a person who demands respect in this world. And if you are not going to give me the decency to respect me I will not respect you and I will give the dirtiest looks that I can muster. I have been told that if my looks could kill so many people would be dead. So if you don’t want the wrath of a Irish female then please respect me as a person and not another chick with big ass tits.
