Plate
Ciao! (a shift from my usual hello or greetings)
Well I have a whole lot on my "plate" right now thus the title. I am truly sorry for not posting but I always keep thinking about posting... :( So many ideas to share so little time. I've been up writing a paper. I have to prepare for a production. I need to read some assigned articles. I have a shoot (both a photoshoot and one that I might just inflict on myself if I get too exhausted).
I miss blogging I have much to share. I am almost over my hell week once it is done I shall BOMBARD all of you with "smart ass" posts. Hahaha! Like the word play?
See ya later alligators!

Marriage Bells!!!
hello!
So marriage used to be very sacred, the be all and end all of relationships. Once you're in it you're in it for life. But now a days we are so comfortable about annulment or legal separation, or worse... Divorce. Yes I believe in being personally happy and not letting your partner take that happiness away from you. But what about couples who already have kids? It is the most selfish thing to do. To separate because you can no longer stand each other and let your children deal with your situation as well. Now why have I come across this topic? I'm not writing this post to bash or rant on separation and all that crap I just want people to realize how comfortable we are about separation and the word married.
On FaceBook, which I am sure most of you have, there is a relationship status information on every persons information page that tells your friends whether you are single, dating, married, or in a complicated situation or what not. What tics me off is when couples as in "dating couples" change their statuses as "MARRIED" even if they aren't even engaged! Then when they break up it's like nothing ever happened! See what I mean? I'm sure a good number of you have friends who do this or have experienced this.
We take marriage so lightly now a days. We are so consumed in finding that perfect love that we rush into things at the height of our infatuations in a relationship that we tend to forget to asses everything we do, our feelings, our partner, our relationship and even our selves. A lot of us dwell to much on the high of the moment that we don't leave space for a possibility of imperfection, distrust, dishonestly... Heartbreak.
Now I'm not being pessimistic here or anything! I for one am a very positive person and I am not whining because I have a sucky relationship, I AM TRULY and DEEPLY happy (almost to the point of ignoring heartaches) but I am just saying. :) Take a minute to think about what I said. Are you the type of person who thinks that every single girl or guy that comes your way is "The One" to the point that you declare to the entire online social networking world that you are "as-good-as-MARRIED"? Or are you the person who takes your relationship as what it is, a very healthy and happy relationship that you can see going into something more serious in the future but at present isn't quite there yet?
Till my next post! :D

A Classic.
I watched the Bill Cosby Show and Kid's Say the Darn-est Things growing up because of my grandmother. And despite my age I loved it so much. Now I do not know what hit me but Bill Cosby some how popped in my mind and I thought why not YouTube him. And viola! There he is! Thank heavens for YouTube and the people who upload videos of the classics on it.
I really hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Till my next post! I love you all!

Failure. Goals. Ambitions. DREAMS
Picture a big modern rooftop apartment or a beautifully mowed lawn with a white fence and a big suburban house. Now try to imagine a successful career or business, a loving partner and adorable little children. Whatever your picture of a perfect life is when you are an adult I am sure it isn't one of being alone and that of a chaotic environment.
Why do I bring up such a random topic of perfect futures? Well I just came to think about how all our dreams are about prosperity and self gratification. Perfection or a somewhat utopia. That's why when we end up with a so-so or average lifestyle we feel like failures. But then again how many of the people you know went on to being who they exactly wanted to be and did what exactly what they wanted to do and lives exactly the way they wanted to? If there are people who are so in your life don't feel bad comparing yourself to them. Why? Well here are some reasons:
1. That person might be in the place he or she is in because of the manipulation they've done to constantly put people down so they could be on top.
2. That person might have a happy lifestyle and career wise but don't have an actual life or family or loved ones to be happy about.
Now I will give you reasons that might help you realize your mistakes as to why you aren't like the go-getter friend of yours.
1. Your very successful and seemingly perfect-in-all-aspects-of-life friend might be more persevering than you. He or she might have the kind of discipline, drive and passion that can move mountains and actually make dreams a reality.
2. That person might have a goal that means so much to him or her that there is no other way to go than towards that dream.
See my bottom line is that all of us have to have a really really strong goal ahead of us. A dream that makes our world go round. One that we can not not strive to achieve. A dream that we want so bad that we will do whatever it takes to make it a reality. And of course the dedication, passion and persistence that a fighter must have. To me there are no winners or losers in life. There also aren't more driven people. I believe that each and everyone of us has an open ended life. A life wherein whenever we choose to or how ever we choose to, we can manipulate to change its course, there just has to be a goal that is larger than life, one that will pull you to it so you can say that you are satisfied. You are happy. You are not a failure but a content person who made his or her dream a reality.
