October 26, 2015 // Questions

Have you ever realized how many questions you ask in a conversation? I just recently have.

There isn't anything bad with asking questions, it's a way of initiating/continuing conversation but I find it quite funny how individuals don't do so?

When you are getting to know someone, you want to ask questions to see a persons dislikes? likes? etc sooooo for someone not to want to ask a certain person questions to get to know them???????????

I honestly don't know where I was going with this post. It's more of a rant rather than an informative one.

Blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Plus i'm in a very annoyed mood for no reason at all pfftfffttftftfttftftfft

October 25, 2015 // My Trip Back Home

Status of health: Currently suffering from a stomach ache.

I have never in my life experienced really bad car sickness? I mean I am prone to car sickness on long car trips but never have I EVER wanted to 'dispose of my insides' every opportunity I had.

Blahhh as grotesque as it sounds. It's the most accurate way of explaining the extremities of my sickness.

Other than the upset stomach i'm dealing with, I had rather an alright time back at home. An 'alright' time you say??? I have high expectations for my city back home now that I basically live in San Francisco. There isn't as many intriguing stores or unique places within my 'home city'. Dang San Francisco and the various places you can venture of to!!!!!!!!!

I mean my 'home city' isn't that bad, it gives off a cozy feeling because of it's rather small size which is a good/bad thing I guess. Reason the size is awesome, everything is walking distance and a negative aspect of it's size, everyone knowing of each other. Don't take me wrong, it's awesome to know indivduals in your community but sometimes it's becomes overwhelming.

"It's a small world", basically applies to my 'home city' overall.

My trip back home wasn't a drag overall. I saw a couple of people that I truly missed and met a miniature cutie; Emi.

It's honestly a great feeling to physically see someone that you keep contact through cellular device, social media, etc in person. You get the opportunity to visually see their emotions rather than through emoticons or actually give those 'xoxoxo's'.

October 21, 2015 // Re-introduction

Do you ever have those times where you simply don't like how you introduced a individual/object to someone?
That's exactly how I feel right now looking back at my 'update' post in which i showed pictures of my dorm and tried to give a 'quick' update of my college experience.

I mean it's not often you get the opportunity to
re-introduce something again. Therefore I want to take the awesome opportunity of blogging to talk about my recent life in college again.

Well first of all I am a resident in the 'towers suite' of SFSU's housing. This suite consists of two bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen, and living/resting area. The two bedrooms are split between 5 individuals, two individuals share one room and the three other individuals share the other.

I am in the room that is shared with two other freaking awesome people!
(Hi Erika and Michelle!)
We get along pretty well and even learn from each others interest such as music.. ahem I tell you music is just an awesome 'language' that helps relate to others.

My other two awesome roommates are fucking great too! Don't want to exclude them on here since as a whole we all add to the aura of this 'apartment'.
Overall my stay at SFSU is not so bad!

As I was lurking through my past post I realized I didn't mention a girl group my two other friends and I created.
So...... *drum roll*....

Introducing.....

Girl Smoothie

We are honestly just messing with the idea of being an actual musical group. I mean we cause no harm with this idea so why not go through with it. We haven't really done much pertaining to this idea but we do have an Instagram if you are curious (lol).

Well I feel content with my re-introduction of my dorm and college experience... however if I do end up making a re-re-introduction then expect to see that on your computer/phone screen soon haha.

Much love,

October 20, 2015 // Music

I love music. There is something about the beat of a song or the lyrics of it that gives me fulfillment. It fills me with joy that brings me to my feet where I can't find anywhere else. If music was not around, life would be so bland and thats no bueno. Eww imagine going into a silent store while picking up a rad shirt. Hearing at the distance a child crying and whining giving off an unpleasant beat to your ears. No thank you!!!!

Music is a way I relate to people as well? I have met some really awesome people through similar music taste. Some even introduced me to new types of music genres.

Music is also a means to start a conversation.

"Hey do you listen to Twin Peaks?"
"No, who's Twin Peaks?"
"..... WHAT YOU HAVE GOT TO BE JOKING?!?! LISTEN TO IRENE, BOOMERS,...."

Music is essentially a huge part of every culture, it defines the culture & creates this language that everyone can relate to that culture.

I have a couple of friends that have a different ethnic background than myself. Our friend 'group' is diverse in culture; foods, music, practices, etc. Anyways one day we were hanging out at one of our dorms and my friend Mia brought up Selena, a chicana singer in the early 90's. All 6 of us started bursting out screaming and shouting all of these songs Selena had, ranging from here ballads to her cumbias. I was blown away how one singer or band can help others relate to each other.

Therefore i'm going to list a couple songs that I have been jamming out to lately. I really want to expand my horizons of relating to individuals I have not yet gotten to.

The Frights - Crust Bucket
Twin Peaks - Irene
Drowners - Unzip Your Harrington
The Orwells - Bathroom Tile Blues
Swim Deep - Heavenly Moment
FIDLAR - Awkward
Tame Impala - Eventually
Dan Croll - One Of Us
Beyoncé - Dance For You
Demi Lovato - Stone Cold

October 19, 2015 // SEX

Sex is a sexual activity. Sex is a natural human behavior.

Why then are people so afraid to speak of it?

Sex is appealing to human eyes because it naturally grasp your attention. Therefore the well known saying "Sex sells" is really true. I mean you basically see it everywhere; media, architecture, interaction etc.

I have recently witnessed an individual close to me being afraid that I knew of sex. Isn't that just ludicrous?!

First of all I am 18. Second of all sex needs to be known to young adults like myself especially in college when everyone is being sexually attracted to basically EVERYTHING (lol).
I find it rather funny that people who reblog certain sex gifs,pics,videos on any social media platform are rather awkward about sex in person. Don't get me wrong, I was like that at one point in my life yet i'm trying to be more accepting of my "sexual" side. Don't be scared to show that you are into certain "kinky" sexual ideas. Pleasure for everyone is different and speaking out about it should not be "scary" at all.

I have a couple of friends that live on this floor that had a posted question on a community board towards the end of their hallway. Even if it was intentionally done by the RA herself or someone. It had a posted question of your favorite sex position. People of course posted 'giggly' comments others actually put legit positions.

Finding this 'hella' funny due to the randomness of the question I posted it on Instagram. This so called concerned individual I talked about earlier was concerned over the fact I posted such scary, risqué, dirty picture. It then made me wonder, why are people afraid for others to know such sexual content. I mean aren't we all going to at one point interact in such behavior so why is it a "sin" to know of it then???? We were all made through this intimate contact so really why is it bad to be aware of it???

October 19, 2015 // Discouragement

Discouragement is defined as as a loss of confidence or enthusiasm.

To me, discouragement is someone stopping me from doing something I want to pursue, or someone who gives me the "but" to every suggestion I make.
Just recently I got a tattoo that I have been wanting to get since.. FOREVER. I finally caved in and blurred all the "consequences" a tattoo would bring into my life. Family members implemented this idea that tattoos are simply a "Criminal" just or make a so called women "unfeminine". Yes, these ideas did scare me however they also gave me more of a initiative in getting a tattoo.

This tattoo is significant to me. It signifies that I can rebel against these negative connotations my family portrays tattoos as.

The meaning of this tattoo symbolizes the "giving hand". I love to help others out and I have a "nurturing" factor to my personality. It symbolizes me which makes me love it even more. Content is really all I strive for now rather than pleasing others for actions that I don't follow through because of this "scare" from others morals/ideas.
