Pandemic in S.California

Hello everyone! As you can tell I have been busy with life, and neglecting my blog. For that I am sorry to you and to myself. Life is funny, knowledge will always find its way to you, should you seek it. Ever since I was young, I have this thirst to know who is Allah? What does He do? Why and the purpose, for that is another topic which I shall post another time. For now, it has been a hectic year, a lot of changes with everyone, especially those who are immunocompromised. If you are one of them, my prayers are with you, and please know this too shall pass. So what has happened so far? 

1. Social distancing (6 feet apart from each other)
2. Mandatory wearing of masks (some States and Cities are against it, believe it or not)
3. No social gatherings (or limited social gathering i.e. only 10 people maximum)
4. Sanitization of grocery store carts, the checkout belt and other places
5. Lockdown of most businesses only essential businesses open (Grocery, Healthcare, Convenience store to name a few)

Those are some of the few I can think of, please feel free to add your comments. Life has changed, made us more aware of how precious our health is and how important it is to maintain it. We all miss our friends and family but at least we have our homes. There's both good and bad things happening, but like Mr. Rogers always says "Look for the helpers." I choose to look at all the good things happening, not focus on the bad, there's all sort of help available financial, emotional, and health too. If you are in need of any resources please visit your local government website for assistance, there are many projects available to help you. For California, visit www.covid19.ca.gov or google any state and it will show up. Visit your local Church, Mosque, Temple to see if there's any assistance available, we are all in this together!

Found Poem

Hey people, so this is an old found poem I "wrote" found poems are where you copy other people's lyrics, books or words and combine them in a unique way. Here's mine

Let’s not say Goodbye yet!

Don’t know if it’s day or night

I hear the voices when I’m dreaming

Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me.

On a stormy sea of moving emotion,

Help me!

Look up to the skies and see

No escape from reality,

Too late, my time has come

Sends shivers down my spine

Goodbye everybody-I’ve got to go

Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth.

Am I happy or in misery?

Though my eyes could see, I still was a blind man

Is it tomorrow, or just end of time?

Anyway the wind blows, doesn’t matter to me, to me

Once I rose above the noise and confusion,

I was soaring higher,

Carry on my wayward son,

There’ll be peace when you are done

Excuse me while I kiss the sky,

Here we go again

so I am going to try to write again and much more regularly, no promises though. A lot of people  older and wiser than me have told me time and again, do what makes you happy. Life is short to worry about what others think. Even though I have moved on from a gossipy society, it still has its parasitic veins on me. Just a week ago, as I was invited by our family friends to a baby shower. My dad mentioned that I shouldn't ask my boyfriend to come along as he's Mexican and we aren't engaged or anything like that, these things make me so angry and frustrated. It's 2017 and I live in California it's exasperating. Anyways, after so long, I am finally in a good place, I have a great relationship with my current beau, I have a not so shabby job, and I am pleased with my work. I have much growing to do as a person but that's all of us, right?

A sad day indeed

Just watched the news and it showed 2 black innocent men killed. Philando Castile and Alton Sterling. My heart weeps at our own bias, especially towards people of dark skin tones. On that note, I am feeling completely helpless on the upcoming elections. Why do we have only 2 horrible choices, why can't good win for once? Why is it that some people are bent on having a war. I only hope that these dark times pass soon, it is time for the golden age and everyone needs to open their hearts and minds. We need to become kinder, more loving, and tolerant. I only pray that it happens soon, and you should too, we need more prayers in the world. Love always 

Maybe it's just sickness

So my late night rant, I keep on thinking why I can't seem to have my life in order. Then again maybe I am not the only one. I am taking steps to improve myself, even though it's going at a snail's pace. So what if I don't have the good paying job, the fiancé, the place I want to be at? I have to think of all the small things I have, for instance my family, a home, my cats, my 32 hour minimum pay job (but hey it's a job) and my internship which will give me a new job with (hopefully) better pay. I have amazing friends who always make me laugh and support me, I also have another Vegas trip with them. A wedding in October and Halloween too. Perhaps after my internship I can start a workout routine or do something to help my body. Maybe I can get into yoga again, or do it myself, I hope my plans pan out. I have to remember to take baby steps and not race forward. 

What's new?

Hello few people who read my blog! Thanks for following and reading! Been a while since I posted! I didn't want to stir up trouble nor emotions with heavy reading. That's for next time, maybe? Anyways I got this new project I am working on its called Mystatis please check it out on the App Store if you have an apple phone! It's pretty amazing 

You know what I want (poem)

I don't want to hurt anymore but

I don't know if

I'll stop  asking but you know, 

You'll never find a woman like me

To love and hold you forever 

I promise to be a good partner

 like you are to me

Deep in your heart you know

That it is true

Perhaps I haven't done enough, 

I have just given up 

I don't want anything else 

Except for that one ring. 

Yet you keep asking what I want from you. 

It doesn't have to be a diamond ring 

 I am not greedy nor vain

 I just want a simple promise and simple ring

Is that too much to ask? 

It feels like forever but it's been only two years 

Perhaps I haven't done enough for you  

Maybe it's the way I have failed 

But I am getting back up 

And shall rise again

Maybe I am not patient enough 

But I feel time  is running out for me

For you never know what tomorrow may bring

Maybe I am wrong and it's all in my head

But baby I want to make you mine

For me it's that ring
