Further News

So, continuing from my last post, Anthony and I FINALLY moved. We kept putting it off mainly because we wanted to fix the car and had to wait for car parts, and then he had a small accident and we had to replace a headlight...but after all, we are finally here!
It's not exactly what we expected. Very cloudy and been rainy most the time since we got here. We did have one sunny day though. But for the fact that Christmas is in two days..IT SHOULD BE SNOWING.  It does not feel like Christmas this year. And it stinks!
While on the topic of Christmas, what would you like for Christmas? I want a recording microphone. I told my mom and I'm pretty positive she's getting me one. So I can't wait!  Better quality music recordings here we come. Next I'll just need a good camera.

Also, I know I'm gonna be jumping around a bit on this post, but there's a corner store from our new house that is literally two houses down. It's called Westside Flava's and they have THE best food! Everything we've tried is beyond good. People there are very nice and talkative too, and of course the cook there made a 'Soul Roll' for us to sample. It's like an egg roll but stuffed with, collared greens, lettuce, turkey and some other stuff. But man, that tastes BETTER than egg rolls. They have extremely good chicken and sandwiches too. Proud to have it as our corner store. Lol. Although it's a little more expensive....the food is just so good you HAVE to go back. Next time we go, which will probably be today, I'm getting two soul rolls and going to try one of their salads. But we better go today because we are going back to Anthony's parent's tomorrow and staying through New Year.

That brings me to some other news... Anthony and I are having a baby. We've told basically everyone we wanted to know first before we made anything public. So that's why it's been so long. I'm 19 weeks and  4 days along now. But while we're in NY I'm going to finally get my first sonogram and hopefully can find out the gender! I've already had one appointment with a midwife and they took some blood and I got to hear the baby's heartbeat. But I'm pretty excited for when we get the sonogram. I guess that's sorta like one of my Christmas gifts.

Anyway, that's whats been going on and I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas! And Happy New Year!

This would be our new house.

And our favorite corner store.

Thanksgiving Time!

So Thanksgiving is this week! What are you thankful for? What are you doing this year?

For this year Anthony and I are moving to Pennsylvannia (more details about this in a future post). He got a construction job that pays really well, and we were supposed to be gone today, but we decided we should probably stay until after Thanksgiving. So the plan is to leave on Saturday.  So we'll see what happens!

On another note, we got a car! It's a Park Avenue by Buick and a 2002 model. Its in such good condition and we got it for a great price.  I honestly feel so lucky and thankful to have so many things working out right now.

Also, I was actually looking forward to making my own turkey this year, but since we're probably staying here for Thanksgiving, I'll probably just make it afterwards. Because I really wanna make turkey!

Anyway, I'm excited and happy and hope everything turns out ok. Sorry I couldn't give more details, but it'll have to go into a future post. ;)

THANK YOU ♥ HAPPY THANKSGIVING ♥

Our new car.

New York Times... so far

So I have been in New York for about the past five months or so,  and gotta say...lots has happened! Anyway, Long island beaches are wonderful. The ocean is enjoyable and relaxing and the waves are fun to play in so long as you don't get pulled out in undercurrents.  ;) I was actually saved by a lifeguard once.

I've battled pneumonia and was in the hospital for five days. And gotta say that was probably the worst thing that has happened to me. I NEVER want to experience that again.

During the Summer it probably only rained a total of three times. And the rain picked up once September rolled around.  And beginning of October when the hurricane Joquin was possibly going to hit I left for Ohio for ten days(went to my brothers Confirmation). But thankfully the hurricane never did hit here. Since then there hasn't really been any rain.

I've been working at a catering hall called Larkfield Manor. It's not too bad. I work basically on weekends and get paid pretty well for three days worth.  But its even better when you can make $50 tips in one night. Not the easiest thing to make tips at a catering hall though. But I have definitely learned a lot.

I've done so many more things but for me to put them all in detail here would be WAY too much, so I will list them.

Other things I've done while in New York:

-Jones Beach
-Airforce Plane Show
-Robert Moses Beach
-Christina Perri Concert
-Bronx Zoo
-Sight and Sound (Pennsylvania)
-Hershey Farm (Pennsylvannia)
-Lazer Dome
-CitiField for baseball (Mets vs Reds)
-Rode a train
-Saw some movies (Fantastic Four, Minions, Pan, War Room, and so many others...)
-Went to Olive Garden on my birthday
-Went to Tellers resturant for one year anniversary.

...And that's about all I can think of right now. :)

I am hoping to stay a litte more updated on my posts...like AT LEAST once a month. I never planned to get behind this much, but you know, things change and people grow busy at times. But I will try my best to make time.  :) ♥

Belated Easter

So it's been a few days my fellow readers. Not too much has happened, but I missed my post for Easter! So here it is...a little late, but better than never.

On Easter day I unfortunately had to work. I went to church that morning, came home and basically just went to work. Although it was much slower than a normal Sunday which was pretty good.

The bad part about it was that we were not paid time and a half because Easter is not considered a "government holiday." But the fourth of July is. I can't tell you how many people were upset with that picture. Even majority of my customers thought it was unfair. Except for one. That's all. I only had one who really didn't seem to care.

That was pretty shocking actually. But it is what it is....

Sorry this is a late late late post! Its been hectic! And I've been working more hours.

So until next time!

"Death Do Us Part"

This is actually a post I've made on a facebook page of mine under my pen name. Wrote it a while back, but I think it's a good read and I wanna give more people a chance to read it who may not have seen it. You can find the page here: https://www.facebook.com/helpmarriages?fref=nf

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How is divorce ever acceptable in marriage? (It's not.)

Marriage is a vow, a promise to love and be with eachother until death. If you chose to marry, that's what you are telling your bride/bridegroom. There's nothing in there mentioning that you can divorce when you've "stopped loving eachother." And if you are basing your love off of a feeling all by itself, then you need to wake up! Feelings always change. Of course Love is a feeling, but it doesn't mean you will always "be in love." The feeling can come and go like normal feelings.
Especially when you first fall in love you'll have that nice fuzzy new feeling that we all enjoy. These new feelings are usually present in all new relationships and can last for 6 months up to 3 years. And alot of people like to leave once that feeling fades. But if you leave when the feeling fades, then you never really truly loved that person, because a true love is not based alone on the feeling, it's the choice to be with that person no matter what you may be feeling at that time. So true love includes both a feeling and the choice.
These are good things to think about before choosing to marry someone too. Will you still be there when they're sick, injured, poor, sad? Or will you still be there when you get angry at them, or they sadden you somehow? In other words, will you survive the hard times with them? If not, then rethink your relationship. Find someone you could survive being with for your whole life through everything.
And for those who are already married, but feel like they are not with the right person, go back in time: what were the things that made you fall in love with them? Make a list. After that, divide it into two categories. 1.) Can't be taken away 2.) CAN be taken away.
The more you have in the first category, the better. And Im not saying that having things in the second category is necessarily bad either. Just the more in the first, the better. And if you don't have very many in the first category take some time to think. Is there anything at all you could put there? I know this might be just as hard for happily married couples to come up with because for example, you can't write down their looks(those fade with time.) But just see what you come up with.
If you really feel no reason to be in the marriage though, just remember you made a promise. And think about why you got married in the first place. And you better fight to keep it together because THAT marriage is IRREPLACABLE. You can fall in love with so many people, but there's only one person you can choose to be with all your life. Once you divorce, you break that and you can never get it back. The same for abortion. For example, that baby is irreplacable as much as people say it's just a "ball of cells," if you were to let that child grow up, then you would never find another like it. So, why do we throw away some of the most special gifts in the world?
FIGHT against what is pulling you apart, because whatever it is, it's trying to take that gift away from you, and if you divorce, you are only letting evil win.

Thank you for reading again. smile emoticon Feel free to contact me if you need to. Leave opinions in the comments, etc. I'm no expert on this subject, but I am doing what I can and I hope it saves many marriages, even just one.

A little bit of Heaven aye!

So, today I had a thought cross my mind. I was thinking about the people who are in situations where they lose everything. Like in a house fire, or even a severe flood, tornado, all those natural disasters. I was thinking of how they don't have a choice because it just happens without any warning in some cases. Then, I asked myself what if you lost everything you had?  I was trying to imagine how I might feel or if I would even be able to live without anything. Like, WHAT IF EVERYTHING YOU EVER HAD JUST DISAPPEARED? If all that you owned was taken away would you be able to survive? 

After I had thought about that I connected it to another fact I know which is that in Heaven you will not have these possessions. Of course, I don't know for sure because I've never been there. BUT I can imagine what Heaven would be like. 

My idea of Heaven is based off of what I know in the faith and from other things I may have read about or seen. 

The picture in my imagination: 

In Heaven, you feel more peaceful than peace is described on Earth. You don't possess the material items but you possess love and peace from everyone there. People communicate through their minds without needing to open their mouths. It would be like God giving you a message here on Earth, like hearing a random voice in your head telling you to do something.  Like your conscious. It would be filled with lots of light, and many smiles and laughter would be shared. No thought of doubt, worry, or fear would ever come to mind. It's pure happiness...

What I'm curious about is if Heaven would be shaped to what you like...because people say Heaven is paradise, but everyone has a different perspective on what paradise is to them. So is there only ONE paradise out there that supposably can make everyone happy?! What are the things that everyone has in common that makes them happy? Those are the things that would probably be in Heaven. At least I think. 

What do you all think????

The Loss of Your Life Partner

So, today when I went to work I had a customer. She wasn't like the other customers I had...and what I mean is...it went like this: 

She told me she would need four bags of water softener salt and then mentioned how she needed help with it because her husband isn't around anymore to help her. OMG. She said that he has passed away (I'm assuming not too long ago) and she seemed like she was about to cry and she was so so so sad. I simply told her "I'm so sorry." For I didn't know what to do, but naturally I tried to comfort her best I could and I wanted to give her a hug (which I seriously almost offered), but after I finished the transaction, I told her that at least the sun's out and the weather is nice and I told her to try and enjoy her day more. And simply smiled cause smiles can help make anyone's day. I really really hope she's okay...

I really do care a lot about people I guess...some people aren't like that, and that's fine too. But if you don't show the compassion and love for another person...they will simply think you do not care. And I know some people really don't care! But I do! It's sad, and the lady needed something to brighten her day! Especially after she lost the love of her life! For goodness sakes...anyway, I've written something that I am dedicating to her and to anyone who has dealt with a passing of a close companion who they dearly loved. I know it must be very hard to deal with. But just keep moving forward and know that one day you will see them again. 

Letter From Heaven

Hello my dear,
Please do not be saddened.
For I am safe,
And always looking out for you.

I see you everyday,
Continuing our routine,
But I notice the emptiness you feel.
Please don't cry...

I know you miss me,
But we will soon meet again,
I love you my dear,
But please do move on.

You can't live life sulking.
Don't give up if I'm not there,
Although I am still with you all the time.
Just not physically.

Dear, you must live on.
Enjoy life for me.
Have an adventure,
Experience new things. 

(whisper) Then tell me all about it when you get to Heaven.

Do not fear,
For I won't be waiting long.
Because in heaven,
Time does not exist. 

Until then,
Smile because the sun's out,
Laugh because it's healthy,
And live as long a life as you can. 

See you soon.

- Your Beloved 


Hope this helps you. (: And remember that life can always be enjoyable. If you can't be with the one whom you love in the current moment, then live life for them. Thank you. 

Feeling down?

Okay, so for those of you who are familiar with my youtube channel. you may have noticed that I've removed a bunch of my videos. And that is because I am first going to get copyrights for my songs...somehow...I think I know how to do that, but I'll have to research more to make sure. 

ANYWAY, just be patient. I haven't actually written many songs this year, although I've written some poems. So while we wait for my songs to be rollin back into business I'll share some poems. :) Sound good? Ok.

*flips through notebook full of written poems*

*notices that the recent poems are too depressing* 

Ummm....you guys don't wanna read depressing poems do you? 
Perhaps you do? Maybe you'll relate to them? Cause I hope not...I mean...



Have Had Enough

That moment when the world turns on you.
You sit there imagining the sharp blade slicing through your warm heart.
It's already broken enough.
The pain is nothing.
You lie there bleeding,
And wondering why you're still breathing.
"I should be dead by now."
After awhile you start gasping for air.
It's getting harder to breathe.
"What's my reason for dying?"
You wonder if it is really worth it.
"Of course it is," you say.
Because the pain the world lays on you,
Is the same.
And only death would make it go away.




Now please do not think that I am telling you death is the answer. Life is the real answer.

People just need to express feelings that are trapped inside of them so that it doesn't build up. Which could lead to some bad things. Which we don't want to talk about. Although death is not necessarily a bad thing. It's actually a good thing. But it all depends, because before we enter our deathbed we need to have lived a fullfilling life. Life is not always easy, and it never will be. If you think death is the answer then think again, and find a way to channel the emotion in healthy ways. Things that I do are write songs, write poems, write for sake of writing, write write, write, have I mentioned "write"? and I also sing and play guitar. Plus doing this can create beautiful pieces of work. There's many other ways, but these are only a few. How do you cope with certain emotions? 

One more thing: I love you. Can't find love anywhere else? I LOVE YOU. And I will pray for you. 

Thank you! Never give up! No matter how hard! I wanna give all of you gushy hugs and love on you. *Mwah mwah mwah*

Feeling loved?? ;)


"Dis writer weird."

"I know. But she lub meh."

"What's lub?"

"Everyone knows what lub is. Don't you know?"

"Didn't I just ask you what it was?"

"I think so..."

"So what's lub?"

"Lub is a form of love...the cute version" (;

"Oh. Very insightful..."

ENJOY LIFE EVERYBODY!

Thank you for reading! :)

Put a smile on your face, walk out the door and face the world!

Change of Plan

So, I know it's been awhile again. *sigh* I take so long to write these. You guys must be dying just to hear from me...

Oh, well ain't that great?

Let's hope you're still with me!

 So school started and I mentioned that a little bit in my last post. But as of now I'm not sure if college is or was something I really wanted to do. I ended up having to withdraw quite a few classes for various reasons(yes, it's embarrassing), but honestly it's not for everyone. Sure, I enjoyed a few of my classes very much, My favorites were English and Psych( I'm still taking my Psych classes). Shhhhh. I don't know why you have to be quiet.........*cricket* ....*awkward silence* .......

Okayyyyy, so WHAT'S MY NEW PLAN YOU WONDER? Well, I'm leaning towards becoming a flight attendant! Yepp. If you have any tips or experience, I would love to know more about it. I've done a little research here and there, so yeah. But other than that, I'm just working my current job at Kroger and saving my money. But by the end of May I should be on my way to New York where I'll have a little time to adventure and experience more new things. It'll be good for me. And I won't be gone forever. I promise. 

Hope life is rollin' the way you want! 

Peace out (:

Gettin' Back in the Groove

Hello all my lovely people! It has been FOREVER since I've made any posts. The past few months have been full of change! Firstly, I got a job. I'm now in school...and...well...let's talk more about all that first.

August 21st I was hired as a cashier at my local Kroger. Being my very first job and everything, I went all out on my interview. Beforehand, I went to the library and borrowed loads of books on how I should be in an interview. I knew NOTHING about interviews, given with my previous work experience (which was none.) Learned how to dress, how I should act to appear confident and to hide any nerves.

Well, I had applied to Kroger sometime in July after I had my driver's license (finally). BUT I wasn't hired right off the bat. As much as I wanted to try to get a super good high pay job, I was actually devastated thinking what am I gonna do if I can't even get hired at this place?

I ended up applying to various other places hoping I could get hired. In the end they all failed and I never got called back. I dressed well, had a good firm handshake. What was I missing? Well, for one I know those companies missed out on a very great addition! But with my good luck, Kroger called me a month later when all the school kids went back to school and I was hired. I was so happy! With all the time I had spent and failed at getting any jobs, the first place I applied ended up hiring me. Which I am very thankful for.

I decided not to start school in the Fall because I was making and saving money before I started. Working and having a job has definitely been a great experience. Plus, I've learned how to fill gas up in the car much better now (; lol. 

So, before starting college, I had to get all these important papers to the college so that I could register and get started. That took forever. I ended up doing my placement tests in December, although I did not need to do my English placement test because my English score on my SAT was high enough (yay).  

After that, I attended orientation four days before the school year started. They told us we couldn't register for classes til we went to orientation(which was probably a lie). BUT I managed to do it. After that I realized I had 18 credits and it was too much, so I dropped two classes, but then I needed at least one more credit so I stopped in to see my advisor, That was a nice trip, and with our luck I got into the first class we tried! Thank goodness for open seats. 

Then, of course, you have all these textbooks that you've gotta buy which are EXPENSIVE. Taking all my money. :( College. *sigh* Hopefully I'll be able to get some scholarships next semester. 

So anyway, all my classes are pretty good. And that's where I'm at for now. Working, studying, eating, sleeping and all that good stuff. 


Is there anything you guys want me to talk about in future posts? I don't have many topics in mind at the moment so some ideas would be great. :) Get my brain rollin' guys! And I should also have time to write my posts when I have nothing left to do (like right now.). 

Enjoy your day. :)
