Hello there.

I've been really busy lately just studying for my midterms and so much papers to write. theres literally only 2 more weeks of spring 2010 left and one week of finals. isn't that crazy how time flies! I'm done with all of my midterms until finals but i have LOADS of papers/presentations/research to do BEFORE the 2 weeks is over. i'm going to have a rough week next week and the week after as well. Let's hope i can finish this semester strong. I've been working hard for my grades and trying to keep them up and trying all the different opportunities to bring up my grades by doing extra credit etc. I really really want a 3.0 for the semester grade so that my cumulative grade will go up as well. I don't want to settle for a C. I want either an A or a B! aiming high so that i can finish my undergrad career strong! This IS my last SPRING semester as an undergrad. its so crazy! I have some down time right now to write this cause i'm home and i'm an idiot for forgetting my book so i cna't do my homework. but anyways. after this semester is over i'm just looking forward to summer. I've applied to so many internships/jobs that I'm going crazy because I haven't received any phone calls back. I'm trying my best and I'm going crazy cause i have no replies. Oh well, i can focus more on school at this point than work.I just hope that i can find a good job/internship over the summer and not just a retail job because i want to be able to get some experience under my belt before i graduate because most if not all jobs are looking for people with experience in those fields/accounting experience. enough blab about my school life, even though it's officially taken over my life.. lol...

Okay so I applied for EDD because i got fired from my job for something really stupid. doesn't that suck?! yes it does but i have a phone interview on monday because they need to ask me a couple of questions. hopefully i do get EDD because i have so much bills to pay for and i've never NOT worked. this is actually the first. kinda crazy but yeah. like i've said before i've been applying but no response. maybe i'll apply to an unpaid internship if i do get approved for EDD. i'll ask them to see if it counts as a job if its an unpaid internship.. if it doesnt and i still continue to get EDD then i will do it just for experience. so LET'S PRAY THAT I GET EDD!!

bleghck. omicron went through a tough time this year but we are still strong. this just made us stronger and also tests us to see if we can get through the hole we are in. we are on to bigger and better things. it only goes up from here.

me and gee are great! we have been busy with school and stuff but we're still strong. beebee is GREAT. she is getting bigger and fatter but she is SOOO CUTE! i love her..

i went home early this week because i've had a rough and hectic week so far. plus this is my only "relaxation" if it is a relaxation before finals and all hte papers i have to write because I dont think I can go home next week because of my papers and projects etc.

i'm so stressed with everything and trying to get good grades, maintain good relationships with friends, try harder at school, try to get a job for the summer, try to get things done early so i don't procrastinate but that never happens. i'm so stressed and i can't wait until school is over this semester!

i hope that i get to do something fun this summer because the past couple of summers i've been at summer school or work and thats it. no vacations or having fun. it really sucks so i really hope that before i go into the real world, i have a really goooood summer. since next semester is my last semester, i want to be able to relax before the most hectic semester of my life.

ok i think this is all for now. i'll blog more later twhen i have more things to say i'm blanking out right now. k bye

So i haven't blogged in a really long time.. its cause i've been so busy with school and work. Anywho an update on my life. I'm so frustrated right now. for the past couple of days i really don't know what is going on.. iono school is stressing me out and everything else! sometimes i feel like i have no one to turn to at times like this. my heart hurts, my mind is going crazy, and i feel so unloved. i really like going home cause it takes me away from all the drama, the stress and everything else. my family really keeps me grounded and sometimes i just wanna move back home. i'm stressing out about whether or not i'm gonna find a roomate to live with after nicole is gone and if i can't, i'm moving out too. i'm stressing out that i'm not doing so well in my classes but i study so hard that i better be doing well. i stress out that my position in omicron gets fulfilled so that it's up to par with what is going on. i stress out about my relationship cause i don't get to see him that much and not seeing him gets me frustrated/upset/sad all at the same time which leads to our arguments. i don't know what to do with my life. i just want to put everything on pause and just relax but i feel like i have no time to do that. i can't go on vacation because i have no money and time to do it and i feel like the real world is getting closer and closer and i'm not gonna have time to do anything with my life. i dont know what to do and sometimes i just want to hide. at this point in my life, i'm getting really really stressed out.

no one really understands me and i feel all alone. i hide all my feelings cause i have no one to express it to. the only one that i would like to tell is always too busy or doing something else or seems like they don't have time for me anymore.

i'm hating where i am right now and i hate all this pain.

i wish that i could escape to the unknown and never be found.....

So I haven't blogged in a LONG time. but yeah its okay. I've been busy with school and all. so im gona start with the most recent that just happened.

I just watched NEW MOON during the midnight premier on nov 19 with michelle and it was soooo goood! words could not describe the way i felt about that movie! it was so good that i watched it again today! i couldn't resist! I still have my moments almost all the time and daydream about edward & jacob! gahh i'm in love with fictional characters but its the actors that make it even better! Robert Pattinson is so HOT and Taylor Lautner is even HOTTER! omg even if he's only 17 he is turining 18 soon ahhaha. Not like I will get a chance with him.. but you never know, one day it might just happen! ahaha everyone has hope and so he says! ahhaha anyways. this picture is currently my desktop picture cause i still can't get over it.

Okay enough about new moon. I'm going to talk about something else now. I've expanded my love interest in the media! ahahah currently my list goes in the following order: Shia Lebouf, Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson, Zac Efron, Nick Jonas and Lucas Till (sometimes) ahaha. I don't care if I'm a cougar on some of them ahaha others are of same age or a little older. I can deal with that.

So i'm determined that I'm going to hire a personal trainer for winter break so that i can lose some weight. I've been gaining a lot of weight and I'm unhappy with what I've got. I didn't really have any motivation before but I'm determined and now have motivation to get this done! I'm going to do it until i'm satisfied with my weight and i'm going to maintain it. hopefully!

The holidays are coming! how exciting! next week is thanksgiving weekend already! and i'm sooo ready for it and black friday shopping! oh and i would also like to mention that its my mom's birthday too! how exciting! After that, we will have xmas break! whhoooo! i love it! this semester went by so fast!

school has been cool so far. i've been studying a lot and trying to get good grades so i can graduate by fall 2010. so far, my counselor said that i will be able to graduate by then.

I want to go on a vacation so bad! i wanna go to LA/Disneyland, Vegas, on a cruise anywhere! This year was supposed to be vacation central because that was what was planned from last year but it never happened. there was so much drama throughout the year that iono. hopefully 2010 will be so much better! im hoping it is. Because i will be graduating! i wont have to take summer school! hopefully i got the job i applied for so i have extra money! I just want to experience college life one last time before i go out in the real world. cause after i graduate i plan on studying to take my CPA boards exam then look for a job to get experience and pay off my loans. Then possibly take my masters for finance. I really wanna go to Cambridge University in London just to see what it's like to study abroad. Maybe even study somewhere in LA? I just wanna be able to travel or live somewhere else besides SF cause I've been here most of my life and I wanna explore my options. It also depends on where I can find a job.

Anyways. i have no idea what to talk about now. my life has been crazy! all about school! and yeah that is pretty much it. Beebee is getting bigger now! hehe she is 6 months and going to be 7 months in December. Ok i really dont know what else to say. I'll blog again next time i'm bored. byeee

Hello hello,

Well i haven't blogged in hella long! soooo MARCH has completely past and i'm finally 21! yippeee! i had a crazy party and i was SOOO DRUNK that night i threw up 3 times the next day and had the WORST hangover EVER! ahaha. but overall it was good because we had HELLA FOOD and yeah. although not a lot of the people i wanted to come came, i was satisfied with the ones that did.

I've been on spring break since last thursday and it is now coming to an end with Easter Sunday! I'm glad that lent is finally over because i struggle sometimes by not eating meat but i've been doing pretty good with it! i haven't eaten meat on a Friday! and yesterday was the last friday to do that but i'm still not eating meat today because my mom said that we have to sacrifice until Monday not eating meat. It's okay so far for today but iono what might happen if i dont have food thats not meat later on. heheh. but i'm really trying. =]

I dont want to go back to school because i'm soo SICK of school right now. I just want to be on vacation where I can go to sleep all day and sleep in and wake up late and stay home, go shopping etc. Speaking of shopping .I went shopping on thursday and spent like $225! i didn't expect to spend so much but apparantly i did. I had to buy clothes for our Vegas trip because its in 3 weeks! i'm so excited! which reminds me cause I have to get another bag or something. But i basically bought all of the clothes i'm going to wear there since we are going to be there for 5 days! Words cannot describe how excited i am because this time I get to gamble and buy drinks since i'm 21! yipeee! After our vegas trip is mine and bubba's 1 year anniversary on May 8! yay hopefully we will have enough money to do something. HOPEFULLY we will win in vegas! ahhaha so that we gained more than we came with! yippeeee. then the day after our anniversary is OTC's spring banquet. I bought a dress for banquet but it's kind of tight so i need to lose a little more weight so taht I can fit back into the dress! the dress is HELLA NICE and it's so unique that HOPEFULLY no one will be wearing it then. I doubt it but you never know.

I definitely want to get another body wrap before vegas but I dont know if i'm going to have enough money for it yet because I'm so poor and I didn't fund for it. and i want the lipase one so that it's the fat burnign one. hehe. damn.

well i'm hella bored at work and maybe i'm going to include in my plan something with the wrap cause i really want to do it before we go to vegas so i can fit into that dress toooo! its 2:20pm and i have about 1 hour and 40 mins to go before i'm free. Koko bear is at banfield getting her shots and her vaccination stuff and i have to pick her up when I'm off work. they haven't called me yet tho to tell me whether or not she is ready but hopefully she will be ready by 4pm. argh. We have like a month and a half left of school and i can't wait to leave SKYLINE forever! that school sucks really bad and i really want to go back to USF! hopefully everything goes well and I do go back for the fall because i need to graduate by next fall 2010! i want to be done with school! goodness gracious!

Anyways, i think i need a new haircut and a hair do because my hair is starting to bore me. I haven't gotten a haircut since October and it is now April. that would make it 6 months! your supposed to get one every 3-4 months i think. i'm due for one.

I think i need to start doing my projects for my classes cause if i don't i know for sure i'm going to lag on it and hella procrastinate which is not good. i'm hella random right now but whatever. okay i think i'm going to end it here cause this is kinda long.

K bye

Hello,

well its been a RAINY couple of days and i kinda like it. My valentine's day was soooo WONDERFUL! its the best one i've ever had in my life! So me bubba, ate and jo went to archipelago in burlingame. It was a fancy nice restaurant and we got seated right away since we had reservations but OMG the service took FOREVER! we got there at 8, we didn't get our orders in until 8:45 cause they were short staffed! we finally got our appetizers i believe around 9 ish but still that took an hour from when we sat down to get even just our appetizers. ridiculous. we got the prix fix meal per person which was $49. it wasn't bad cause we got complementary wine or champagne with our meal. it was fun since there was a live band playing and towards the end of our dinner the waitors were actually talking to us and one of the band members came up to us cause the waitor said that ate wanted to sing! ahah. it was so funny. I also had a lychee martini along with my meal and i was pretty tipped with a glass of wine and the lychee martini. We went home around 11ish i believe and i got home in hercules around 12:30. i was so tired i knocked out in the car ride home! i felt bad for bubba cause he had to stay awake by himself while i napped. =[ but overall, twas a great day on vday! =]

On sunday and monday, i just stayed home and slept in, cleaned and played with koko and toby. it's so cute watching koko chase after toby cause toby steals koko's toys from her mouth. hehe. so adorable! i can't wait to get my stewy! =]

Joan's party on friday was CRAZY! there was so many people at her house it was ridiculous! i saw so many people from high school that i haven't seen since i graduated high school in 2006! wow! Of course, i stayed with my sisters and drank with my sisters because they're the only ones i would do that with! hehe. i came back pretty drunk/tipped still but it was a good reunion with my friends from hs and with my sisters since i didn't see like half of them since january i think. i think it was a good and long weekend. I love long weekends.

I even ended up not going to school today cause my mom didn't want to leave early in the morning cause it was raining so hard! so i haven't been to school since last thursday! wow crazy! and i missed out on 3 of my physics classes! how ridiculous! now i have to do my physics hw thats due this friday! hopefully i'll get the material down so i can finish the hw before friday instead of waiting until friday to finish it!

Next weekend, we are going snowboarding! whoo! i'm a little nervous cause i havent gone since i went to boreal with my brother and bubba. i heard that they're all pretty fast and i'm still a newbie so i dont know how i'll be able to catch up. eek. hopefully someone will wait for my slowness! hehe.

i hate work right now. i'm tired and i think i'm getting sick. so yeah its kind of ridiculous at this moment. help me!

k gotta go now. i'm tired of looking at the screen! bye

HELLOOO! well i started off my week pretty GREEEAATT!

Sunday: my 9 monthsaversary with bubbalicious & he came over & we watched pink panther!

Monday: I woke up HELLA LATE for the first time on a weekday because i didn't have class til 2:20 (even if i was still late) and it was a pretty good day!

Tuesday: Not sooo great buuut the BEST PART OF THIS DAY IS THAT I GOT MY HELLO KITTY X MAC COLLECTION! omgo mgogom gomgom g! i'm so excited! it hit the website YESTERDAY, FEBRUARY 10 and i decided to go to the mall and check out the items since they had it out on the counter. I was honestly just going there to pick another color of lip glass to add to my list and to also buy something for my mom but then....... the girl started pulling out my items like i was going to purchase it and i was like "omg, i can buy it now?" and she said "of course why not, we have them already!" i was SOOOO IN SHOCKK!! and SOOOO EXCITED AT THE SAME TIME! words cannot describe how i felt at that moment! unfortunately, i had to go back there after work cause she mixed up one of my items so i had to go back and exchange it. but its all good. Here is what i got


it was well worth the $280 i spent for it! i love hello kitty and i love MAC! what a great idea to put it together! now.. i can't wait to get my TOTE BAG! whooo add that to my collection! I feel like i'm not satisfied with my items, i really want to go back and GET MORE ITEMS just so that i have it! although i'm not sure if i'll be using them so much but i'm sure in the near future that I WILL! =] ahhh i still can't get over it! i can't believe i have it in my hands and i can use it! i love how ALL OF THE ITEMS have the indentation of hello kitty's face on it! it's so GREAT!

Today: i bought my plane ticket for VEGAS BABY! whooooo yeahh! unfortunately, we are not going to hawaii anymore because my parents changed their mind, but instead we are going to VEGAS! we bought our tickets already so its a FOR SURE thing that we are going! i'm soo excited! plus me and bubba are going to be the first ones that get there since mine and his flight leaves at 11:30 and my mom dad and sister leaves at 2:20. eeeek so excited!

on a different note, i've been hella irritated the whole day cause my boss is hella irking me about hella things that I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO EVEN DO! like it's not part of my job description and it's not a part of crown. so i'm hella mad. It hella conflicts with the things i do FOR crown let alone do that along with it. ugh.

anyways, hope this week goes by better! tmrw i dont have WORK! yay! but i have a whole day of classes ahead of me. On friday, i'm workign the whole day AGAIN and afterwards is joan's party so i think i might just drop by to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY. and on saturday is VALENTINE'S DAY! i'm so excited for that cause we finally got a reservation in! i was calling a million places yesterday for reservation on saturday and they're all booked and luckily we got one at 8pm at archipelago in burlingame! what a relief! =]. I think we are going to the pillow fight too before hand. but i'm not sure? we'll see. then the whole weekend i'm off of work from saturday through monday! how exciting! It's been a lonnngg week and its going to end soon. i just have to do my literature hw and my physics homework and i'll be okay with the rest of the week. Once i'm finished with those i won't worry about anything else! whooo yeah!

Okay gtg now, its 4:10pm and my boss is here now. bye!

Hello,

So, i told myself i was going to blog today at work but that didn't happen only cause i was kind of sort of busy. and i was kind of lazy. but anyways. I'm at bubba's work right now. cause i brought him food since he was hungry. what a GREAT girlfriend i am! hehe. anyways. I had a long day today and i'm extremely tired. I worked today from 10-5 and then went to the mall to exchange something that I bought and DID NOT want to wear cause it was not that crackin. but yeah oh well. I exchanged it to a nice shirt and a HELLO KITTY tote bag! whoo. okay maybe i'll use my tote bag now since it's pretty awesome. but yeah.

even MORE EXCITING NEWS! I bought a package from gojane and i bought hella things and i dont know why. like a dress, tights, and 2 pairs of boots. man i love it. AND THE BEST PART IS that i got it today! whoo. it came it came! i was so excited. even if i wasn't at home when it came, i ws just excited that it was at my house already. hehe. so i'm pretty excited to go home. I kept forgetting to do a lot of things this week but its a good thing i remembered today.

tomorrow i'm going to have a long day! i have school from 8am-12:30 then going to USF from 1-230ish then maybe lunch before my night class at 6:30 then i have that class til 9! =[. boo. i know. i'm goign to be so tired. PLUS TODAY! i have to do my homework. maybe i'll do it tomorrow during my break.. HOPEFULLY i dont forget.

i'm ridiculously tired right now and worse of all, my bubba isn't paying attention to me. maybe i'll fall alseep on this desk cause i'm that tired. =[. okay i gotta make it short today cause i'm too lazy to type on his computer. later.

A NEW YEAR! A NEW BLOG!

Well it's 2009! how exciting right!? its going to be a great year and I already feel it! =]. This is the year that I will be turning 21! and bubba will be turning 21! and our 1 year anniversary! and my first trip to HAWAII! and my first cruise with my BUBBA! oh man! it's just going to be great! I love how i have all these events lined up for my year and its only the beginning of the year! well all of those events will most definitely happen! although i might be broke for a while or more in debt, i'm happy to be enjoying it with the ones i love! man!

okay anyways.. i've just come to realize that many people are getting on this hype on getting on this blogspot thing. i thought it was weird but I've had this since my freshman year in college and had to create it because of my ENGLISH CLASS! ahah so my previous blogs are definitely my homework and was commented on by my classmates and teacher! ahah. oh well. i'm starting to use it now just cause bubba is kind of making me. but it's a good time killer as far as working full day shifts with mostly nothing to do the whole time.

School has been okay, we got back to school this week and my teachers are all okay. I think i will hopefully have a good semester since I'm only a part time student right now. I'm working more, which sucks, but i have an additional day off. hehe. it kind of works out. I hope my semester turns out great because all of my teachers seem pretty cool, just as long as i keep up with the work and not skip class, i think i'll be fine.

UPCOMING EVENTS:
The first upcoming event that I'm looking forward to is our snowboarding trip during the end of February through March 1. At first, i wasn't looking forward to it at all because 1. I suck at snowboarding, i am still a newbie and 2. I don't want to be left behind while everyone is bombing the hill. But from my experience on my last snowboarding trip, i feel pretty comfortable with going now since i'm getting a hang of it. My last trip was a day trip and it was sooo tiring that i knocked out in the car and right when i got home. We left my house at 6:30am and got to Boreal at 8:30am. I was really nervous at first but when i saw that I could do it and put a little more confidence in myself i did GREAT! we were there until 6:00 i think and then we ate at FUJI'S for the first time, on the way home. It was good there.. oh man. all you can eat EVERYTHING! ridiculous! i will definitely be going there more.. hopefully when i pass it each time. ahah. hmm. what else.

SPRING BREAK! HOPEFULLY i get to go somewhere but iono yet cause me and bubba are going to be broke since we are going to pay for our hawaii tickets and our cruise tickets. so many going on! i just want to go to disneyland actually since i didn't get to go during friendship games. We'll see how it goes cause i'm going to be buying stuff for my birthday celebration and for bubba's birthday celebration so I just might be too broke. =[.



but on another note, I'M TURNING 21! WHOOOO! i'm so excited for that cause man that would mean i'm LEGAL for EVERYTHING! ahah. I think i will get my new tattoo on my birthday as well because I've been wanting it for forever and i was making myself wait for my bday so that it's more special! =] i dont know what i will do yet cause my birthday lands on a monday, so probably just have dinner with my fams that night and combine bdays with bubba since his is 2 weeks after mine. maybe we'll do something together! hehe.

1 year anniversary with BUBBA! yay! our 1 year lands on the friday before our trip to HAWAII! so it's like we are celebrating our 1 year in hawaii! how awesome is that! plus my parent's wedding anniversary is 2 days before our 1 year so we are celebrating their wedding anniversary in hawaii as well! yay!

HAWAII! WHOOP! my first time in the beautiful islands of hawaii! my family and i + bubba are going to HAWAII from May 10-14. possibly May 9 if we can book the room for an extra day but for sure on those days! i'm so excited, i'm already starting my diet so I'm skinny enough to wear a bathing suit! ahha. hopefully.. MAYBE, i just might get ANOTHER TATTOO while i'm there on my last day! just to have a memory of my first time there with the ones i love the most! =]

i can't wait for this!



CRUISE! man, my first cruise ever and I'm so excited! I can't believe i'm going with bubba and his family on this cruise! I'm so excited and I can't wait to just spend all that i have to enjoy myself! whooo! not sure on the exact date for that is yet but i dont care, i'm going on a cruise! =]

as far as what i know, those are the events going on this year SO FAR. there might be more, actually there will probably be more! this year is going to be great and I know it! =]

wow, this blog is pretty long because I have nothing to do with my life. maybe i'll change the background of this layout so that it's more ME! ahha ok but for now, i shall go. bye! =]

Hi Hello!

Since my bubba hacked in mine i'm going to find a way to get him. but i'm smart enough not to post it on this thing cause that guy reads it! muahahah. anyhoots. today is a sunny day! its a super duper sunny day! i cooked breakfast for bubba (spam and eggs) and we bought krispy kreme doughnuts (i've been craving for a long time). whoop i feel accomplished for today. But today is also the very last day that i will be able to sleep with my bubba on a regular basis! =[. thats sad! starting monday i'm going to be the cheuffeur for my mom since my dad can't drive. WIGGEDY WACK! argh! This month is going by so fast! its already the middle of the month! ridiculous! and in 2 weeks its THANKSGIVING WEEKEND! and you know what that means! SHOPPING!!!!! on black friday of course! =]. and it's also my mom's birthday on november 25! too bad that me and bubba won't be able to be together for thanksgiving since he's going to be in reno! =[. how sad. but the holidays are definitely coming up and its time to buy xmas gifts!

CHRISTMAS SEASON: so for this year i'm saving up money to buy my loved ones gifts for xmas! I'm hoping its better than the ones i've gotten them in the past because i know last year for sure i was ridiculous broke that i couldn't even buy presents! =[. i am also buying a snowboard for the snowboarding season since bubba said that he was going to teach me until i get it right! ahah right bubba? no giving up! hopefully my board is something hella cutesy! so thats about $350 including bindings and boots HOPEFULLY or else i'll be broke as a joke! uhm lets see what else. i don't know what to get my fams yet for xmas so hopefully when it gets closer i will figure out what to get them! ahah. but i did get one person's gift who i am not revealing! ;). its great! muy expensivo but totally worth it! hopefully this person LOVES the gift(s) i got them! ehhee. well not that expensive but its kinda pricy. ahhah. uhm let's see what else. i just can't wait for the season where XMAS TREES are up smelling like PINE TREE all over the house with decorations on it and ornaments and lots and lots of lights! with presents under the tree for everyone! how exciting! and also for the season where we can wear boots with the fur. ahah not so much with the fur.. but peacoats, leather boots, fury slippers, toe socks, slipper socks, puffy jackets, scarves, gloves, hats/beanies, and all the winter clothes you may think of. BEST THING AFTER CHRISTMAS is the DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS SALE! how exciting! hehe. i expect this season to be a joyous one and i can't wait to try new things and spend it with my loved ones! =].

SISTERS: i know i haven't been around lately but its been really tough for me to get out there with all of the things that was going on. i will definitely see everyone before the christmas season and before everyone starts going home! but i love them to death regardless how far we are from one another!

DEBT: oh man.. my debt has been going down actually. i know before i was over $3000 in debt and now i'm not! i'm about like almost only $2000 in debt. it took me a while to take off $1000 something from my debt but i'm getting there. and i paid of my banana republic card FULLY last month! so i don't have to worry about that card anymore. next would be my macys card. hopefully i get it paid off by december. and i'll only have my credit card left. my oh my. how wonderful that would be. but i am still paying off my juniper card but its not really under my name but i'm paying it off. i basically paid off the interest and tax that was put on it and it took me a year and a half to do so. lame. but i feel pretty great about it cause i got my credit card back! but like bubba said "no excuses to buy things just cause you have your card back!" haha i wouldn't want him to confinscate my card again! eheheh. oh bubba always looking out for me.

SCHOOL: well school is school but i think i'm doing better. i've been going to all of my classes! not missing any single one. although i know that sometimes i would like to just miss it i force myself to go cause its almost the end of the semester and i want to be able to keep my grade up. let's start with accounting. hopefully i did well in my last midterm. i think right now my average would be a C or higher maybe a LOW B or so. Philosophy.. i really don't know where i stand in that class cause i missed that class hella times already and i'm not even sure if he takes roll cause when i do go to class i would get there like 5 minutes late so within that 5 minutes that i've missed he could of been taking roll. how lame. so iono, i know that my essays have been okay for that class for each test we take but i've never been there when he passed them back out. so i don't exactly know my grade! =[. macroeconomics. that class is boring as hell and my average for that class could be like a low C to a D i think and i dont know how i'd be able to get those grades up. i'm kinda scared so i dont know. History of the philippines.. that class i think i'm actually doing well in.

Online Discussion

Davis was raised into a family that had both of his parents deaf and he struggled with it because people would see him differently because he lived with deaf people. He didn't come to realize to appreciate the deafness of his parents until his later years. I dont really relate to him about that becuase I've never been ashamed of my parents even if they cant really speak english very well. It didn't matter to me whether or not they couldnt speak it because just as long as i can communicate with them, i will be fine. It doesnt really matter what other people think about them because it only matters to you.

Coming from a dysfunctional family can be hard but he needed to pull through the weight because if you are not happy with your family then you might not be happy with yourself.

What Davis means in "working class experience has been a guide" to his life because he was more into school and finishing his schoolwork than staying at home. He would spend hours at school pulling his grade to be the best to go from the ghetto high school to Columbia University. He worked hard to be the best he can be and it gave him a great experience because it was worth it in the end.

Logical Fallacy

Topic: Minors in Adult Chatrooms

Thesis: Minors should be blocked from entering adult chatrooms by creating a program that lets parents have full control on the internet by having a pass code that allows their children to use the internet without the adult chatrooms.

Purpose: To prevent minors from entering adult chatrooms where adults can lure the minors into meeting them and eventually taking advantage of them.

Dear Miami-Dade School Board,

My name is Karla Flores and I am a mother of a 4 year old. I have read the article about your school banning the book "A visit to Cuba," and I completely disagree to what your actions implied to. Although the parent that wanted the book banned because of his experience in Cuba doesnt mean that the children can't learn about the country. Children from the ages of 5 to 7 doesnt know the history and the politics from Cuba and I feel that they don't need to know about it because they wouldn't understand it. Children should be able to explore and expand their minds into different places of the world other than the city and country they live in. They should be aware that there is a whole different side of the world completely opposite from us that can also be fun and entertaining. Children might have minds of their own but they dont completely understand the political issues going on in that country and I feel that they don't need to know about it until they are mature enough to talk about it. A person does not stay a between the ages of 5 and 7 long so I believe that they should be able to be creative and think what they want to think about the country or any other place in the world. One day they might be opposing to your side but since they're children, I believe that their imagination and creativity should be expanded and banning this book and any other book that relates to different third world countries will prevent them from doing so. Taking this first step of banning this book and the other books related to it has opened doors for parents such as this one to step up to yours or anybody else's school board to prevent their child from learning an important aspect to the world. I have a daugther who is 4 years old and I want her to learn about the rest of the world and how the rest of the world is living not just ours. I want her to expand her mind and explore the world because I know that eventually she would want to visit these places. Imagination is the key to these books and that's why these books are created to give imagination to the children and let their mind explore the life at Cuba, for instance. Let children be children while it lasts, don't prevent things like this parent wants you to do to children and keep them from learning. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Karla Flores
