Everyone goes to church every sunday. But do they all know why do they go to church? Thats a question that I would like to ask everyone. There are many who go to church to seek God and to praise Him. There are even those who go because they are forced by their parents. There are also those who do not believe in God because they think is an obligation and not freedom. However, for those who do, one I think that is in everyones mind is to go to heaven. The most important that no matter if you go to church or not, but you still believe in God, is to have the 100% faith that He died in the cross for all of our sins and accept His gift of eternal life. Also we should all pray a sincere prayer with all of our heart admitting him that we are all sinners. We go to church to learn and help us understand more about our Lord. So it isn't quite mandatory to go every sunday, but will be nice to do so. Going to church isn't going to take you to heaven. The only way that you will go to heaven is to believe in the faith of our God.
Don't you hate when you want to have something you love close to you of every second of your life, but you can't because there are other things that also need to be done? For example, having two jobs and school is going to make it a bit hard for me to go out with the one that I love. No matter how tight my schedule is going to be there is always going to be time for her. Not only for her, but also to be with the family and go out with all of them. As she has said and as how I also view, everything is possible only if you put your mind to it and make it happen with all your heart. Everyone is going to have to go to work and make something out of themselves to have everything they want. There will be more time later on no matter what. There is even time to do what each person like to do. For example a hobby. The main point is that you can have everything you love close to you no matter what by adjusting your schedule and balancing work,school, and family.

School is something that everyone should never stop to do. Learning and studying about something that interests you is something that will bring happiness to your life. No matter how hard or far school is there is no excuse for not going. Even if your a person who just can not stand to be in a class for more than an hour, have in mind that it is all worth it. There can be obstacles to deal with, but obstacles that anyone can get rid of. For example, if you have no transportation, a car, there are buses. If you have to work, there are classes that can fit your own schedule and still have time to do everything. No matter what needs to be done, the first that should be in everybodys schedule is to go to school and get a career. That is one goal that everyone should achieve and there lives.

Has it ever happened to you that in the end of the day you realized that you saw something more than three times? Three day ago i remember that I felt that lady bugs were following me or were attched to me. I first found one on my shirt. Then two hours later, I see that I had another one but on shorts. I thought it was funny at the time. But then i saw another one on my arm hours later. I couldn't believe that I had three lady bugs on me in a day. To me this was very akward. At first I thought it was just a coinsidence, but then i started to think that the lady bugs may have a meaning. I don't know but I was a bit curious about that.

Ever thought of all the different jobs there are in this world? Did you ever realize how more than half of all the jobs there are in this world are dirty jobs? There are many different types of dirty jobs. For example, there are oil drillers and charcoal maker. These two examples of dirty jobs are a great example. Workers come out from there all dirty. But ofcourse it all pays for all the hard work. The main point is that there are many people that do'nt realize that there are people who does these kind of jobs. There are many people that do thes tough and dirty jobs mainly because they have a high pay or maybe they love their job. I don't believe that people who decide to work in a sewage plant love there job but probably I am mistaken. There are many different dirty jobs that many of us don't really think they exist. We sometimes think that there are machines that do all these dirty jobs, but there are people that are just as hard workers as everyone that do all these dirty jobs. There is a show on discovery channel that is all about dirty jobs. Mike Rowe is the man who does all the dirty jobs that many people do. He explores and views how hard and dirty theses jobs are. Ever like to check it out it is is called Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe.

Learning a new language can be very difficult. Mostly because they have a different accent and a different meaning to a word that you may have thought it meant thesame in english. However, having the ability to speak more than two languages is amazing. Since we live in a diversity society there are many different languages in this country. People from different countries come to United States and try to make a better living so they study and learn to speak the same language as everyone else. If there was no possible way for those people to communicate in the United States, there will no way for them to have a better living. There is one language that I would like to learn, which is chinesse. However, I know it is possible, but it will take me years to be fluently in speaking and writing this language. Since I am bilingual, some languages are a bit easy for me to understand. For example, there is French and Italian. In each one of these languages there are some words that sound the same as spanish words and that also mean the same thing as in spanish. It possible for anyone to learn a new language, but it takes a lot of work. Without having the ability to communicate it wouldn't be quite easy.

Who doesnt love peanut butter and jelly sandwhich? There are some people who just can not stand the stickiness of the peanut butter or that doesn't like jelly. But as for me, I always loved peanut butter and jelly sandwhich since I was a kid. I will always make myself at least two all every day. There is not one person in this world that does not know how to make a peanut butter sandwhich. The new jar that I have seen and that I now buy is the peanut butter and jelly already together in a jar. It is not mixed in side but it is in a form of a pattern. It is the same as having them seperate, but it has a great taste. I really don't know why , but it is very good. This sandwhich is even a healthy snack and there is not a lot of work to do.Not only do kids love peanut butter and jelly sandwhich, but everyone in the family will. Talking about a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich, I am now craving one.

I was thinking for a moment how everytime that I take a shower I put the radio on. However, I never really thought why. Now I know that I am not the only one that does this because even my sisters and other people that I have asked before do listen to the radio while taking a shower. However, unlike my sisters, I am not dancing or singing out loud, but just getting inspired and get ready for the day. I sometimes even catch myself thinking about different things while showering, but because of the music. Listening to the radio while taking a shower is a good thing to do because you are motivating yourself to get inspired for having a good day and not a bad day. Music is made to brighten up your day. So why not brighten up your day while showering? If some people don't listen to the radio while showering, they should give it a try. As for me, it also gives me more energy and wakes me up. Listening to the radio while taking a shower is a great thing to do, but ofcourse leave the radio far from the shower and leave it on one station. You wouldn't want to get electricuted. Thats if you have it connect it.

How can children and teenagers stop buying junk food? When i was in high school i remember when chips and sodas were only 50cents each. Now, since the governor saw that the teenagers and children are more likely to fall in obesity, they have decided to rise the taxes on sodas and hope that will make a difference. Ofcourse, rising the taxes on junk food is not going to stop children and teenagers from buying junk food at school. The only change that they have made is to make more money out of children. Children are not going to stop and think on how its now a dollar for the soda and a dollar for chips and should not buy it because it is not good for their health, but they are still going to buy them. By taxing junk food, it is not going to stop them from buying junk food or going to stop obesity. The best way to make children and teenagers to stop buying junk food is to stop producing it and try to make it hard for them to get it. To get rid of obsity, the best wway is to have children and teenagers to be active. For example, get involve in a sport. Overall, the way to stop children and teenagers is to get rid of junk food.

The rent is going up month after month! Since I help my parents to pay for the rent, I have noticed that the rent has been increasing month after month. I thought it was only us that the rent was increasing but everyone in the apartment, their rent was also increasing. Some of my friends that had their own place moved back with their parents for while because they couldn't keep up with the rent. Until they can manage to pay or to find somewhere else cheaper they will move back out. They are able to pay for their place, but since they help their parents as well and have other bill to pay they had to make a slight change and go back with their parents until everything goe back to normal. Since the of the apartment see that it is difficult to pay rent and other bills at the same time, the owners need to make a slight change so that they would not lose any of their clients by going somewhere and look for cheaper rent. They shuold know since the economy is affecting them too, it is also affecting those who pay rent since a full a time job is hard to find. However, as those expensive apartments, their pay rent that was suppose to be is now expected to fall since there is not a lot of people who would want to pay more than $2,500 dollars. As the expensive apartments rents are falling, the small apartments far from the hills are rising.

Have you ever wonder why lots of people think school is critical? maybe because it is critical thats why. But even though people know that they do not take that in consideration and prefer doing anything. I wonder how thye could live day to day knowing they have a shit load of bills to pay and other utilitys as well. Although excludding the biggest struggle they might have, having children to look after and nurture as well. Yet many of these self-motivaded people do not see the way out, due to the fact they want everything done for them or everything done in a easy way. However, if they would consider waking up early every morning to go out and look for a good job that could probably change drastically in their lifes. Likewise, another example in how they could make a better life out of what they have now is ny returning back to school and getting that four year college degree. Therefore, everyone knows that school it critical and that its good for upward mobility in anyones social class regarding where you came from or even your background you might hold.

The first that comes to your mind when you here soap operas is women sitting down in the living room staring at the telvesions without blinking. They care so much about the stories that main character of the soap operas than anything else in that moment. Everyones mother has an hour or two that they spend wathcing there "novelas" in spanish, which means soap operas too. They are so significant because of the different obstacle and stories that they each one have. Ofcourse in all of them there is a love story where there is something that is between their love. Then in the end, they are together. However lately, not only are the women who watch soap operas, but men are now also watching them too. Today there is a new modern one in spanish that has everyone watching. It is called, "Hasta Que El Dinero Nos Separe", which means until money seperatates us. This new spanish soap opera has even me sometimes watching it with my mom and my sisters. It is about love but whats more entertaining about that catches my attention to see it is how it is very funny. To me this "novela" is a comedy one for everyone to watch. Soap operas has been part of people's of an everyday routine. It is something that you can take your mind off others things and just set your mind to the funny episodes of this soap opera.
Is the world going to an end? Everybody keeps saying or thinking how they believe that we are all going to die soon. This comes to their mind and start to have a conversation about us dying soon because of how the weather is changing. For example everybody starts to panic and freak out because the day is hot today when yesterday is was raining and windy. I don't think that people should react thatway because of the weather. California weather has always been this crazy. There were times where we have had weeks when it ddn't stop raining. Also, many also panic because of the earthquakes that we have. They say that the earthquakes are caused because of the change of weather. But also, California his well known because of the earthquakes and especially because of the weather. Everyone loves California weather because it has everything. Not only it is because of the weather people believe we are all going to die soon, but because of the economy and the aztec calendar and ofcourse the movie that has been made according to this topic. Sooner or later we are all going to die, but that we wil leave it to our destiny and god to be on our side. But I don't believe that the world is going to end soon. People shouldn't think it is the end of the world when the weather changes.

Two days ago the beach was the best day to have gone. Ofcourse i would know since yesterday i was in pain in my arms because i got sunburn. At first the weather didn't quite seem that the day was going to be hot because it was very windy. But after heading to the beach the weather changed from being very windy and sunny to hot and beach weather ofcourse. I didnt think the beach was going to be full because of the weather, but i guess everyone knew that the weather would be different when you are at the beach. I decided to take off my shirt because i had a black shirt on and well i served the consequences of getting sunburn. However, I had to start someday for me to get a tan in my arms. Although I didn't get inside the water I still had a great time. But the ofcourse the next day I was in pain. It was all worth it.
On Easter day, while I was with the family at the park celebrating Easter and also one of my sister's birthday I felt the earthquake. The moment that the earthquake hit, we were all playing volleyball. All of a sudden everybody was feeling dizzy because of the earthquake. Then I viewed how all of the trees and the floor was moving, not fast but smooth. It was like if the earth was just being rocked slow. To me the earthquake felt like it was two minutes, but the news reporters say it was 39 seconds only. Everyone didn't know what to do, but stand. However, standing made it even worse because you will feel dizzy so we then sat down until the earthquake stopped. Others were holding on to a tree or stood where they were. i have felt before earthquakes that come hard and shakes everything, but this one was very different from the other ones. I thought it was just my imagination that the earthquake was slow and smooth because we were at the park, but those who were home did felt it the same way as i did. I believe everyone on Easter day who felt the earthquake was pretty shocked just as me to have felt an earthquake that was smooth and different from the past earthquakes that we have had.

I never thought about how hard it is to make everything possible happened. However, that doesn't mean that it is impossible. There are obstacles that we all have to confront to make it happen. No matter how big the obstacle is, it is possible to confront it. For example, going to school that is almost two hours away from home with no car is an obstacle that this person has to confront everyday. The way to confront this is by taking the bus. It s not a requirement to have a car, but having a car will be more benificial. It will be beneficial by not having to wake up early and wait for the bus and hoping to get to class early or on time. Also, having a car will be no problem when the bus is running late. The whole point is to view how this person doesn not give up on going to school no matter how far it is and with no car. Not only will there be obstacles when transportation that you count on is the bus, but there can also be obstacles having a car. There is possible that the car may not start working or get a flat tire while going to school, but ofcourse you always come prepare and have a spare one. Being prepare and double check everything to confront any obstacles, everything you want to make possible will happen and know that nothing is impossible in life only if you put your heart and strength to make it happen.

As I sit in my room staring up in the wall not having a clue what to blog i start to laugh. (Lol) I wonder why laughing is so funny? Every time I look around i see somebody laughing about something or someone. Although I consider this a positive thing at times. Laughing could be positive in a way because it brings peoples self esteem up and gets a conversation started. Take for instance, your in a quiet elevator and you received a funny message, suddenly you start to laugh really loud then also others would do the same for the simple fact that laughing could be funny at times. However laughing could also be negative in the fact that what if that one person you are laughing in front of is extremely mad and wants to start a fight due your laughs. Not everyone has a good mood everyday, so therefore they have little or nothing of passions. The smallest things could tick a person off when being mad and especially a laugh. Therefore regardless of the negativity that laughing might have, I strongly agree that laughing is mostly positive for many reasons. They give you a reason to be smiling the whole day, have a great time, for get about your problems, or maybe even make the transition of being mad to being happy. So therefore, I encourage everyone to laugh at least three times a day to be happy and well self- motivated like me.

Ever thought of having a pillow fight with everyone in the city? I was reading the "Los angeles Now" and this happened today in Downtown Los Angeles. At first I was reading this I didnt believe it until I saw a picture. Having a pillow fight outside in the city with hundreds of people is something that I can not believe really happened. This was a project that was brought by a public are group from New York that which was promoted then here in Los Angeles. The project was intended to show how social media can be used to organize people to embrace urban public settings. This started around three pm. and everyone was waiting for the countdown to begin. After the countdown was done, pillows went off everywhere. I wish i was able to be part of something like this. Ill probably make this a project of my own in my own neighborhood. However, everyone would think it is childish. Everyone in their childhood time had their own pillow fights, but imagine being outdoors and with more more people to hit. This seems to have been so much fun.

What is it about Spongebob squarepants that kids and adults like to watch? I was home in my day off and my sister babysits two kids. My sister put a movie of Spongbob Squarepants and both kids were sitting in the sofa like two little angels. They didnt stop looking at the television. These kids are four and six years old. I don't quite think that they get the jokes of Spongebob, but i guess it is the colors and the images of the characters that attracts the kids to watch the movie. As for me and my sister, we laugh at the jokes and the different meanings that each episode has. Spongebob is a bit of an air-head, but it is smart and thoughtful with others. This show has a lot of humor and stupidity in a certain way. But the stupidity that this show has it not really stupid, it is just humor. Some of these episodes are very sartly written and I believe that in every episode there is some sort of message that is sending. Spongebob squarepants is a show that I would never get tired or seeing, but I will never quite understand why little kids love this show so much.
Why are stores very crowded these days? In every store that I go parking is hard to find. Now I have to park all in the end because there is no parking closer to the store. After finding a parking, the next mission is to find the products that I need. I don't know if any of you have had trouble looking for things because every time that I go I can not find my products. Everything is practicly gone. Now I know that you may say oh well why not go earlier, but it is also the same thing. I have tried going early to the store and there is also a lot people and some products are not there. If I have found everything that I need, the next big thing is where I need to have some patience. Waiting in line is one of the things I hate the most. When every store has about twelve registers, they only have about four open registers. I don't know why they don't open more registers when there are many people in line. I once tried the check yourself registers, but it comes out to be the same because if you don't do it right you have to still wait for someone to fix the problem. Although, this is something that everyone has to deal with, i have to have some patience, well every one has patience to have gone through all of this.
It is Saturday! Where many people have their days off for relaxations and to spend time with their families or there love ones. Many have parties to go to, but instead they perfer to relax at home and forget about all the stress they have in their job. For some, they work on Saturday and well I guess they make the best of it and they have their relaxations on their day off. As for me, I work on Saturday's, but in the morning til the afternoon. I make the best to avoid any arguments or any stress because there is really no need for that. Even though I am working I am going to have a good time while Im at work because then the day will go by very slow. Time will go slow and I will think that I am working for more hours. After I am out of work, I go home and take a good relax shower. This is the time where I am now hoping for time to go slow so I can relax. Eventually, I have this time to also do homework. The weekend is to relax and have time to clear your mind out of all the stress you might have from work.

Wouldn't you wish to have money to spend as toilet paper? Money seems to be the biggest stress problems for everybody right now. Since there are many jobs that are giving less and less hours to their employees, the less money they make. I believe that what everybody is doing right now is saving every penny they make. This time there is no way that you can be spending money on things that are not needed. I can relate to this because I pay bills at home. I help out my parents whenever they can not afford to pay a bill. I also have to save money for gas and the spendings of books in school. Everything that i used to di i had to cut some stuff out. Money is in every ones mind no matter what. Even though you may think you dont, your always worrying about how much money do I have left or am i going to have to spend money from my savings. An important thing that myself and many im sure are doing is contolling how much money are they spending. Even though you think you have enough money, you never know when there will be an emergency and need cash at that very moment. An example may be buying new tires for your car or a health problem. Overall, have in mind how much you are spending and hopefully you have cash on the side where it is only the use for emergencies.

It seems like technology is moving forward faster and faster. From having an iPod that can hold thousands of songs to the new iPad. Now I just learned that there are 3D televisions available. I only believed that 3d was only going to be in theaters, but now we are able to see our television shows at home in 3D. This to me sounds very crazy! I never thought of televisions being 3D. However, I see that everything is possible. I never heard about this until I saw it on the advertising of Best Buy. Ocourse you will have to purchase the glasses seperately. This is something I would like to have someday in my house. However, the price is not quite something that is for me to spend right now with this economy. This 3D televisions are about $3,000.00 dollars. It even includes two pair of glasses and the free connection and delivery. This I believe is a great deal, but only for those who really can afford it and is in love with 3D. Hopefully later on in the future the price will lower and will be able to have it. You can check this 3D televisions at any Best Buy I believe.

Going to the theaters has been something that I believe many people and myself hasn't done in a while. Even though there are very good movies out released there is still that thought of how much money we are going to spend. Tickets now are very expensive. Only buying tickets will cost almost $25 dollars. Then after that we would buy something to munch on while watching the movie and the prices for the snacks have also gone up. Everything in the menu is about $6 dollars and up. Just to get it clear, I still do go out to the theaters, but I dont go out as much as I used to and see a movie. I believe that I have gone to the theaters about once a month. Lately, instead of going to the theaters i now rent movies and watch them at home. I save more money and the best part of seeing them at home is there are no one talking or walking in front of you. I used to like going to the theaters a lot, but now since the prices have gone up in everything I don't get why I should spend more money when I can just see them later at home. Once in a while, I would go out to the theaters, but mostly will watch them at home from now on.

Holidays are always a pleasure to celebrate and be around. As we know in a couple of days we have easter coming. Easter a well talked about holiday to get togther with the family and enjoy the day. Likewise lots of people know this holiday for its tradition of hidding eggs with the children and at times the adults as well. However what is the first thing you think about when someone mentions easter, for many people they could picture some kind of bunny and light colors. Although for me its the same thing and also gives me a chance to interact with family members that I have not seen in awhile. Even though, we all know that Easter isn't good for many people due to the fact that they don't really have family to celebrate any kind of holiday. In other words, that would be really bad because family and friends are the motive which makes you happy. Also that no one really wants to feel left out or alone in any holiday because then they wouldn't have any holiday spirit even though they would want too. Easter is also a good reason to stay a whole day resting with the family at a park or where ever they desire and make the best out of it. It could also involve making a bbq or any kind of food to contribute with one another. Holidays are a good reason to bring family, friends, love ones, all together and forget about their everyday problems.

Who wouldn't want to have The Apple iPad? The Apple iPad is the new technology that i believe that everyone will perfer to have than a regular computer or a laptop. I believe that the Apple's iPad has the potential to change portable computing. Instead of carrying a laptop or just the thought of having to opening it , you would want to have the modern slimmer touch-screen device. But ofcourse the Apple iPad does not have the USB ports, multitasking, a Webcam, or a physical keyboard that most laptops do. If the Apple iPhone had the change for many of us, the Apple iPhone can have the same appeal and be the new laptop computers. The iPad weighs only 1.5 pounds and it is about half-inch thick and its screen is 9.7 inches. What is even more better is that the battery does not die quickly as some laptops do. Overall, the Ipad is an advance in making computing possible and easier.

Today it is April fools day!!! Ofcourse many love this day to prank many people and get there humor but others hate this day because they fall for the pranks. Even though you try to avoid it from people who are close to you, there are other places that can even be playing a prank to everyone. For example, the starbucks company. This made me think at first if it was serious, but then ofcourse i remembered that it is April Fools day. Starbucks Mentioned that they are having two new beverages sizes. The "Plenta" and the "Micra". The "Plenta" is a 128 fl oz and the "Micra" is 2 fl oz. This may have brought happiness to those who love coffee for a "Plenta". Not only Starbucks is an example of celebrating April Fools day but even Google company even had its own joke. I went online and everytime I am going to search I always go to Google. However today their new name was "Topeka" . For a minute I thought I was in the wrong website until I found out it was a prank by them. Not only did these fool me, but ofcourse my friends did too. April Fools is a day to make others laugh get a little humor out of them or just make yourself get a little humor.
Getting stopped by a police officer always makes your heart beat faster. However, Not only is the drivers heart that is beating fast, but also the police officer. A police officer never knows what can happen next after stopping a driver. A police officer is not only thinking about the safety of the driver, but takes into consideration of his own saftey as well. For example, a police officer will stop the driver some where it is safe for both of them. In other words, a police officer wouldn't stop on exposed traffic rushing in. I don't know if any of you have ever thought about how dangerous it can also be for a police officer, but you never what could happen or what kind of person the officer is dealing with. Since they choose where to stop the drivers they also have to be careful to see if the driver doesn't make any sudden movements where they might trying to reach for something or hiding something. Just as many of us has had an experience of getting pulled over, we all do get nervous for the fact that we might get a $300 dollars ticket or evem get arrested. But just as fast our heart beat goes, it is the same as the officers. But ofcourse it is a different perpective of both. Therefore, the only thing we can best possibly do is to avoid getting stopped by a police officer and not to brake any laws. Not only would we avoid a traffic ticket, but also the nerves of getting one.
