Pants or Skirts

I am a survivor of bad habits; shopping, shopping, shopping and some more shopping to list a few. After recovering from a financial blow due to my addictions.
I have decided to reward my self with a few things. About 3 or 4 maybe 5 suits just kidding.
Now the dilemma is I don't know if I want to go with skirt suits or pants suits. The reason is that I actually never ever shaved my legs before. Why? -because I never had to. The hair on my legs have always been very thin so almost unnoticeable. But last night as I put on my ultra thin pantyhose I can actually see few of the hair stick out." Oh my god" was my reaction I can't wear this. I can see my line blown out of the wind, you know at the office on coffee break when all the ladies are like" I hate shaving my legs" I always say with a smile I never had to shave my legs since my 1st breath in this earth. Well I guess that is about to change. :((
Anyway I guess am trying to choose whether to go with skirts or pants by what to sacrifice.
Ladies help brain storm here. What are really my options?
And don't forget which of this looks better?

IGNORANCE

As they say " Ignorance is the source of ALL EVIL". I really pity people who have problems with race, color, religion, handicap or whatever.....
I just think that it sad for a human being to have so low standard of life that he or she can't help but express they thoughts to hateful or disrespect ways of communication.
I am blown away by the way a human mind can be wasted so .......... I can't even think of better word to use.
Any way I don't know what the person is going thru right now, and truthfully I hope that someday they can learn to rise from this pitiful mind set.

My Favorite book " As a man thinketh" I am going to quote few phrases in here:

The aphorism, "As a man thinketh is his heart, so is he," not only embraces the whole of a man's being, but is so comprehensive as to reach out to every condition and circumstance of his life. A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.
As the plant springs from, and could not be without, the seed, so every act of man springs from the hidden seeds of thoughts, and could not have appeared without them.


" Thought in the mind hath made us.
What we are by thought was wrought and built.
If a man's mind hath evil thought,
pain comes on him as comes the wheel the ox behind.
If one endure in purity of thought,
joy follows him as his own shadow- sure."

Man is made or unmade by himself. In the armory of thought he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself. He also fashions the tools with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy and strength and peace. By the right choice and true application of thought, man ascends to the divine perfection. By the abuse and wrong application of thought he descends below the level of the beast.

I think you have heard enough for today.
All I can say to the person that inspire me to actually post this blog. Thank you :)))

Take me away...

Oh my God " my tongue is hanging" really I can't even see my computer screen trying to type this.
I can really say that Allstate (insurance company) slogan "Life comes at you fast" definitely was me yesterday. I got in the office at 9:00am doing stuff... I was chatting with my manager for about half an hour until suddenly I had couple drop of my nose. So I got my tissue and was like this is weird. An hour later my nose really started running really bad. Next my Head started acting up, am like this is not happening; ( oh yes it was happening).
Okay I played it off telling myself you are not going to get a cold, no way, absolutely no chance....
Needless to say about 2 and 1/2 hours later I started coughing and my throat started to feel funny.
I got home after futoor and took my Vitamins, extra vitamin C, drank some orange juice, took some more herbs"Echinacea" to boost my immune system, Menthal, "pastilles Valda" don't worry if you don't recognize the name but it something with a lot of mint in it. Made some milk plus some more mint. Before I went to sleep you should have seen my night stand it look like a pharmacy. I got up this morning breathing from mouth 'cause my nose was "totally out of service" But I felt a little better, so I decided 2go2 work anyway and see if could "work it off" any way didn't work. So I left came home and getting into my bed with my blankets and just passed out.TGIF=Thank God It's Friday because I can stay in bed the whole weekend.
But my body got tired so am here in front of my computer surfing the net.
Hope you people are having a better weekend or weekday than mine.
PS:Warning this maybe contagious take proper precautions.

*sigh, Calgon take me away* Please :(

Oops I think my bed is calling me, bye.... (Echo mom.. mommy....)

Movie Sunday!!!

Okay my body is swore this morning you know why? Because I got home at 3:30 in the morning after being out all night with my cousin and few other friends on Saturday night Plus I was crunched in the sofa yesterday between 2PM til 1:30 in the morning. yeahhhhhhhh Movie Sunday!
I woke up at 1PM on Sunday but couldn't get off my bed so I just laid there with the remote to my Stereo system listening to music. Next thing I know this loud bang at the door so know I have to get up. Any way it was my cousin that had decided to drop by and say hello. He left after 20min.Since I had the TV on I decided to go thru some channels and what was playing.
Finally on Starz movie channel the movie The Village was just starting so I got my blanket and pillow curled up and enjoyed. After that one was finished I switched to HBO and found that the movie Darkness was just beginning too I ran got an extra blanket this one because I was scared... My friend dropped by so we watched that together while breaking the fast. Then guess what? If you said more movies you right. My brother came home and I had saved Blue Streak on my DVR thank you cable company for inventing that. Any way that was the most hilarious movie I mean I was laughing so hard that my inside were hurting. After that one I made couple more trip to the Fridge and settle with my Kleenex tissues to watch Pretty Woman I looked at the clock after the movie ended It was 1:30 in the morning so technically Monday and I had to be at work in hours. To summed it up I started with Scary movies and finished with a romance movie you know why: so I can forget the scary movie and get some sleep.
hehehehehe...............

Fake people

Okay I am not usually taken with peoples action but sometimes I just plain don't get it.
I mean Fake people, If you don't like to be bothered with something why don't you just leave it alone. I mean if you don't feel like listening or talking to someone why bother. After all you are your self you don't have to do things just because you care about what other people are going to think. Any way this is the reason I am even posting this: these past days I came across a person that was pretending to be smiling at the person when you clearly can tell they just didn't want to. Acting fake, I don't think they realize that whatever turmoil that goes on in your self 9 out 10 shows in your face. But I don't think she knew that, because this lady was faking a smile and everything she was doing the way she talked and her facial expressions and body language.
Plus just the way she acted I was like OH MY GOSH? What is she thinking?
I mean she was so fake that you couldn't help but act fake too.
And what is funny is when you are force to act like it's like you couldn't help it, it was the way that they acted around that made you act that way towards them.
I thought that was just a waist of time. I mean if I don't feel like talking to you I just wont. Plain and simple. Definitely would not go to the extend of pretending with you, because I just don't have to...

Any way that is what I think. What about you guys how would you react to this situation?

Got one year younger today!!!

Translation:
yeahhhhhhhhh It's my birthday, but I am not doing anything special.

Usual questions

Don't ask me why, but don't you ever feel like sometimes you just start wondering why in the world are u here?
I mean what do we live for? I understand lots of people would say well: my family, my friends, my career, my studies, and so on... But I think every one at some point of there lives ask this questions.
I don't know but I really get in deep with this kind of internal conversation. I think and think and think so much that I lose track of my thoughts.
( don't ask me why I like repeating myself either, I just do). Any way I was out again tonight just driving around town, I see people walking around running, others lost in there thoughts, and some other groups of friends just out having fun. Then there are some other people shopping, or at a restaurant, or just doing stuff. I really look at all this pictures and I can't help but wonder.
What is the reason of all this? Are we here just to grow up have a family then eventually die?
What is the purpose of all this Daily Activity? Why do we care so much about stupid things?
Why do we hurt about things that happens then later on we can't help but laugh at our self because it doesn't seem important anymore?
I think I will stop here because it's like midnight already and I don't really want to see my self trying to be up early morning to make it at work. Yeah work one more thing that just gets me.

Any way after all this, I leave you with this poem that I read today:

" I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store.

For life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.

I worked for a menial's hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid."

And that is worth thinking about.

This was the book

WEIRD

Last night after the evening prayers, I was thinking to myself I need to get out the house for an hour. So I went driving around town and endedup somehow at Walt-Mart. I went in and was just walking around the store as you guys know this store is open 24/7 and this one is the super center. So, I was just walking and came by the books section just by curiosity I picked up this book called "Dinner with the perfect stranger" I developed the habit of not reading the back of the book before I read a book so as I looked around I saw a bench in the store for exausted shoppers to take a break. I went seat down and started reading. Man the book was very interesting at 1st so I kept reading til about the next two chapters when things started to sound crazy. Just to summerized the whole thing; it was about a guy that received a dinner invitation from a stranger at a very high scale Italian restaurant and since the invitation didn't have a name he was battling with himself wether to go or not. But he finaly decided to go and check it out. But what was weird was after he got there the stranger introduce himself as Jesus of Nazareth ( that was the 1st crazy part) and then went on discussing how Christianity was the only true religion. And went to find what was wrong with Hinduism, Islam, Buddah, and Hebrew way. Anyway when they were discussing some facts about Islam it got me mad a little bit that I wanted to just close the book and say who does he think he is to talk like that. But I reminded myself that God said that everyone has the right to have their own opinion on their faith. So I said this will be a good learning curve, I went on reading the book til the end. Wich took me about 2 hours. Anyway so the man had dinner with Jesus and that Jesus said that he was God himself. That he is the one that went thru all the suffering for the humanity...
So the man asked Jesus why him? and Jesus respond remember when you were young and your mom had divorce your father and you loved you father so much that you coudln't understand why would I do something like that? and you ask me to come and tel you why this happened? and that if this was my "God" plan. And he went on and said I have been planning this dinner for a long time. I am glad you came. this part was after the whole dinner part was over and they were saying goodbye in the parking lot.
God asked him if he had another piece of paper to right something down for him. He gave him his business card and Jesus or God wrote something the back of it and put it in his jacket pocket.
When he got home and found the note that Jesus gave him it read Revelations 3:20 so he went and looked and found a Bible and went to chapter 3 verse 20 and it said: If I remember correctly:
"Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me."

So that was my night last night, I got back home the words still in my head. So I took the Koran to my room and started reading. I just wanted that talk out of my head.
I read until I couldn't open my eyes anymore wich was around 1:30am and close the book and went to sleep.
A very succesful business man had told me just when I went to Richmond VA, couple of weekend ago;your success in life the next five years will be determined by the people you associate with and the books you read.
I was just wondering where this book fall in that? But I just though that was "Ican't come up with a word"....

What do u guys think? Would you have read the book til the end?
