The Mix-Match of Friendship

Hi my peeps!

I wanna blog about something that I think is really important. 

......As I said earlier, we are all different. Different is what makes us who we are. Some people put differences aside, and some people don't. There is a boundary that needs to be made, though. It's when one's differences has a major role of that persons life. Includes religion/beliefs, background, standards, and living style.This is where a problem usually occurs in the Mix-Match of a friendship.  

Let's start with religion....

Speaking from experience, I lost an "adult" friend due to our different religion reviews. Now, I'm not religious, but I am very spiritual. Like I said on my website "I believe In God, myself, my dreams, and Karma. I'll leave it at that, and you should too." It's okay to ask someone what their beliefs are, but for the both of you be careful what  you say and do, relevantly back to your religion/beliefs.  It can seriously screw up the friendship or cause a huge fight.  In other words, if you support gays and your friend doesn't, because of your belief system, just don't bring it up that topic in person, facebook, or twitter. Do and talk about things that don't really involve a belief system. I hope this makes sense to you.

Moving onto background, standards, and living style (they all kind of are on the same line)....

I'm just gonna be forward with everyone. I'm speaking from experience with this entire blog. Every body was raised differently, every body comes from some place different, and some people leave their old background behind and make a new one.  I have a friend whose standards are so different than mine, that it would drive me NUTS. It was so frustrating. First of all, I can't have a friend who doesn't have any respect for themselves.  I will try to put up with it as long as I can, but eventually the friendship, in this situation, will turn into a sinking-ship.  How can anyone love, accept, or respect you if you don't do that for yourself? The background part is coming in.... Everyone has gone through something different that makes them who they are. If you came out of a really bad background and it rubbed off on you to where you don't respect others AND yourself, it's going to be a really rough, lonely road for you. Now if you have a friend that is like that, try to help them out somewhat. Pull them away from that dark cloud above their head, lead them to a happy path where they can be positive and enjoy life. If they are making the wrong choices, illegally or harmful to their body, steer them away. You can only lead a horse to the pond, but you can't make it drink. If  your horse ends up not drinking,  that's the end. It's a lost cause.  Your friend has to be willing to help themselves too. If it was me in that situation, I'd cut the ropes with this person, because I can't handle a person like that. You need to be around positive people, and people that make you feel good. It would KILL ME emotionally to just keep watching my friend run their life like this, and having them just do bad choices that add more negativity.  If they asked "what happened to you, why did you stop talking or seeing me so often" just say "I tried to be the best of a friend  I could be. I tried helping you, I was there for you, but you didn't do anything to help yourself, you didn't take my advice (blah, blah, blah)". Let it come from your heart in the most rational way you can.

On the other hand, if your friend is in that same situation, but decides to walk away from the negativity and move on by doing positive things, that's great! Praise your friend for them making a good choice, stay by their side. Ya know, reward them in some way. They will need that. This is the type of situation where one would most likely keep the friendship.  

There are many other ways I can brake down the background, standard, and life style part, but it would take like the whole day for me to explain those. *smiley face* If you have any questions or need advice on friendship, feel free to ask. I'm here if you need me, and I'm great with helping people out. It's in my blood. 

Remember: You receive only what you handed out. That goes for your friends too.  *wink*

The Coming: Be Brave. Be Tasty.

Hey peeps!
I have been so nerves with this whole dorm life coming up in the fall. It will be my first time away from family members, and away from home, totally out of state. They say the best thing for anxiety is to turn it into excitement. I've been trying to do that, and I just have the hardest time with it. Maybe it's because my sleeping schedule is out of whack.

 Anyway, I was in the middle of watching the movie 21 and it reminded me of something. I have three vacations coming up in a row! My first stop is Myrtle Beach for my grandparents 50th anniversary. Second is Vegas, and third is Arizona...THANK GOD! I miss Arizona so much. No I'm not from there, but I've visited a few times. It's so much better than WI and the place is beautiful year round. Anyway...back on topic. Most of you should know already, from my video I posted, that I plan on going into Tribeca Flashpoint Media Arts Academy, a college for film and other media arts. I was watching one of their tutorial videos and one of the professors said "If I was to give an incoming student advice I would say to practice communication and verbal skills, because at the end of the day we are communicating-we're in the communication business". So I got to thinking, with me being in Vegas with a lot of different people, that would be a good opportunity to practice those skills. Not being so shy. (I've broken out MOST part of that shell a couple years ago.)  Good time for me to practice certain nooks and cranny's of communication and verbal skills. Let's face it, when I'm there, I'm gonna be with people who I don't even know! Yes college is totally different than braking the ice with strangers on a vacation, but it's the way I work things. I can work things to my advantages and find ways to relate them back to something in particular. 

(Totally a must see...I think we're staying in a hotel 

that's ancient Egypt theme, anyways)

Perhaps all these vacations coming up will help me loosen up for the dorm life. I'm  a very independent person, it's just I have NO idea how it works. Where do I get food, where do I get my money for the food...? Ya know?!? That type of thing. I can not tell you all how much I need these vacations. Winter is a total blow for me. I'm a summer person, I was born in the summer, my heart beats faster and I feel happier and more at home at places like Arizona or a tropical beach. 

(Me at a relatives house in AZ, 2005)

This is the time in my life where I have to brake out of my old shell entirely, put my brave face on (Delta Goodrem lyric, right there,) lock in the confidence so it doesn't escape when I feel vulnerable, and put on my big girl panties and just deal with it.  Learn how to face with whatever is coming my way. Besides, I WANT this! I WANT to go to college at Tribeca and learn, become a pro so I can fulfill my dream of becoming an excellent Hollywood Film Director. This is what I truly want in life. I was born for the movies, I love the movies. It has to be a legit part of my life. I DO NOT want to sit home and JUST WATCH the movies. I wanna be part of them! To be quite honest, I don't even have a back up plan! That's how determined and devoted I am of having this career. To me having a backup plan is like allowing yourself to say "I'll give up sometime." NO I keep trying till I get my dream.Quitters never win. And I NEVER quit. Ever. Giving up is never an option for me.   ....................................BRAVE FACE!.........................

Maybe one of you guys have some advice for me. *Hint, hint nudge, nudge,* 

So besides college,  I'm gonna be doing the Betty Crocker: yes, that means baking! I'll be making different types of cookies, brownies, and cupcakes. This is for my cousins benefit after he went trough some brain damage. I don't really want to be to specific, because one-I have no idea how to spell it, and two-I'm not sure if I should be saying a whole lot for privacy and respect reasons. Anyway, we need to help make money for his family and the cost of everything medical-wise. I will be taking the goodies, putting them in a basket and they will be going out for auctioning with the other auction gifts. 

(No, I didn't make this-wish I did-got it from someone off of Facebook)

My cookies will be:

Monster cookies 

Choc. chip cookies

Sugar Cookies

Cupcakes will be:

Confetti cupcakes

Choc. cupcakes

and I'm gonna try for banana 

... all will I attempt to decorate

And my brownies will be regular brownies and some with nuts. 

Or do you think I should leave them out to make things more simple in case the family has an allergy or something? 

BRRRING IT ON, OVEN!

A Blog 4 Her: Fashion, Beauty, Treats, & More

Good sunshine hour ladies (or even a guy that could possibly be reading this.) How did you wake up this morning? I know I woke up with another Shakira fever that I've had four about two years (since Nov. 2010) I had the symptoms of "Objection" it made me "Loca".

Objection 

Loca

This morning I'd like to blog about some of the stuff we love the most.  Let's start out with what we do when we wake up. We all know it can be hard getting out of bed. It's especially hard for me, because I wake up with a headache every morning. My memory foam pillow is starting to lose its memory. Every girl needs something to smile about every day. "The happiest girls are the prettiest girls"-Audrey Hepburn.

Now here are a few ways to help get you out of bed and making your mornings better. Numero uno, Waking up in a clean, and personalized bedroom is quite soothing. What I mean by personalized is having the room decorated as some kind of environment that you want. Example, my is an adult version of a jungle room. When I say adult I mean, it's not like a little kid would have it. It's very sophisticated and legit looking.  I can't tell you of how much of a difference it made to me by doing this. I mapped and planned my whole room out, saved some money on a decent budget and bought the things I needed to buy for my little sanctuary. Something that's also refreshing to wake up is the smell of fresh blankets and furniture. I always wash my entire bed set once a month, and this falls under beauty as well. I'll get into that later. 

(I really need one of those cameras that can scan the whole area)

Numero two, (Idk why I'm speaking in spanish)  Alot of us sleep till where the day is already hitting lunch hour. I call that a quarter wasted. I think of a few reasons why I need/want to get out of bed before eleven o'clock. Let's face it, we're girls! We don't just get up and go! We take showers that usually are longer when guys take showers. We do our hair, we put on our make up. We do whatever us girls do, right?!? So if you do wake up at eleven you'll probably be ready for what's left of the day by twelve or even later, if you're like my sister. Think of an activity: exercise at home, a morning tv series, a walk with your dog, a jog with your BFF or neighbor. Try to get to know that cute guy that stops at the coffee shop every morning. Who knows, you could start a spark! Idk, just think of a motive or two. The reason why I say this is, why would you WANT to have your day a quarter wasted, or half wasted? Just think of the things you could possibly get done if you had a head start. Grab your morning pick-me-up and crank up your jams. It works on me! I like to be kept busy. I don't have a car or any money. That doesn't stop me though, so I start studying something I'm really interested in: movies. I wanna be prepared for what I'm about to go into. Except, the book says Screenwriting I'm actually going for film directing. At the time I did wanna do screenwriting.

...I think this might be my longest blog yet. To shorten things up, just have a motive or two to get out of bed. 

Now going into fashion.

I'm noticing more and more that what's becoming hot is clothes that make girls eye candy. Ladies, I know how it feels to be dress up and look drop dead gorgeous, and to turn heads, but there are other ways you can look good without having your boobs hang out and covering up your booty half way. Belly shirts, fine! But if you aren't fit or in shape, please keep it away. No I'm not being mean, any one else will say that! That's why you don't see most people with junk in bikinis.  I'm not the fashion police but I do know what is appropriate and still fun. There's a fine line between being hot eye-candy and being beautiful. Let's take a look shall we:

Hot Eye-Candy

Non Eye-Candy (but still hot)

Do you see it? You can still dress up and look beautiful without being eye candy. If you dress up giving free show, it just makes you look easy, slutty, and trashy. I'm sorry, ladies, but it does. Go out there as a woman or lady and show men that you can still look good without having to show them any thing. Walk with your head high, back strait, and like you own the zip code! 

Heading into beauty...

Acne: we all hate it and want it gone. I have some breaking news to share with you all! Pro-activ is said to be the number one acne treating system. It has just been discovered that it does not work. This was not discovered by me, however I did use it for two in a half years and saw little results. Word is that the chemicals or ingredients used in their product expires before actually using it. In other words, while you've had it for a while and it's about half full, the ingredients will be expired and the soaps will be no good. It also bleaches out your skin. I stopped using pro active before I found that part out. What I use now is this all natural soap-no chemicals. It's called seaweed soap or a.k.a. Reviva Sopa. I found out about this through my uncles girlfriend. Her skin is absolutely flawless and I do mean flawless! She said ever since she has tried that soap, it's all she ever uses ON HER FACE and just her face. She also told me that  it will take several months for it to work, at first your skin will brake out a little bit. It's just getting used to it. She's right. All this happened to me when I started using it, but it IS working. Best part yet: Pro-activ is about $40.00  .....Reviva is TWO $2.00 online or at the store, it's two dollars. It smells great, has awesome texture, and long lasting because it's not gel. It's a bar of soap. We all know how long those last. 

If you peeps want some real good beauty advice I suggest you check out Bubzbeauty on Youtube. She has several skin care videos, hair, nail, make up (day  & night), tutorials, videos, advice GALORE! And I do mean GA.LORE. I've been listening to her now for about a year. She was the one that told me to wash my pillow cases, especially, once a month because of all the oils, grease, and sweat we leave on it. Bubz also told me to use an alcohol wipe or something on my cell phone. Think of how dirty our phones are! I'm serious though ladies... go watch some of her beauty videos. So amazing and helpful. She's also great with inspirational stuff.

As for treats....

Girls we all know how important it is to treat ourselves with the spa, salon, shopping, and to satisfy our sweet tooth. You deserve it, and earn it. So reward yourself! Take care of your needs first. The only person that is gonna be there for you in the end is you. YOU always gotta live with you. Treat yourself wonderfully, and your mind and heart will thank you! 

Just for fun and cuteness X)

Let's be a role model for the younger generation!

Here's The Latest & IT IS Theee Latest

Okay, so I know I just posted a blog last night, but i couldn't help to post again. As you go down and look at my older blogs, you'll notice that I talked about my books and Disney Internship. You'll also notice that the blog isn't named "News From a Hoot" any more. I just want to clarify on these. Number one, I am not writing any more. I didn't give up. Giving up is never an option for me. I simply had a change in heart, or....career choice I should say. Yes, I am a very creative person, but I was studying the role and responsibilities more of a screenwriter. I found out that a screenwriter is hardly in the development of the film, whatever movie is filming. You guys, I LOV3 the movies! I NEED to be part of the magic, behind the camera, rolling with the cast and crew, witnessing the bloopers and such. So I decided to switch to directing. You can think whatever you want, but with my attitude and effort I WILL make it, and I WILL go far! Just look at how excited I am in this seat!

Yes I am wearing 3D glasses for Final Destination 4, in Cali. Remember this moment, uncle Mike?!?  Anyways...back on topic. As for the Disney Internship, I am not going down that path any more. Of course, I still love Disney! I mean, I'd be a fool NOT to. I just thought "why narrow my path with Disney, when who knows what else I could get? Ya' know, you could end up in multiple places." If Disney likes me, or I am needed there I'd be delighted to take it! How could I not? I am a little weird'ed out by some of those subliminal messages, though. Especially the tangled one. Man, it's so obvious when someone points it out to you. But I'm not too worried about . I mean, I go out of the house and I hear kids say some pretty nasty things, and act so wild. Won't be too much longer where it will be completely common for kids to start cussing. 

Do you see it? It's wrapped around Fin.  .....So getting back to my blog, here.... i'm not exactly sure what made me change it to my trademark (Bro3liMor.) You can still call me News From a Hoot. I like it still. Not quite ready to give it up. After all, it is kind of my thing. It totally fits me: nocturnal worker ( like an owl, I find myself being more busy at night, even though I'm a day person,) very wise (an owl is symbolic of wisdom and they make the hooting noise,) everyone says I'm very pretty ( the line "what a hoot",) and I do have big breasts...just saying ("hoot"ers".) So you can see why I gave myself that name. I might do something with it later on. 

I made it myself. There's one thing I forgot to mention. Maybe I mentioned it, but I forgot if I did. HA! I said I wasn't writing any more, but there will be two stories I will finish off in the future, which would be my ever so famous 2horiZons series and....

( I made that cover myself too!) 

...this one ancient Egyptian story that has been stuck in my mind, and I can't seem to grasp a plot for it. Why did I choose 2horiZons out of all of them? I chose it, because this was my first story ever. It's very precious to me, and I find it way too unique and original to get rid of. Very complex, dark, dramatic, emotional, supernatural series. So this pretty much sums up my blog for today.  Hope you all stay safe in this horrible weather. Oh wait...I forgot some of you don't live in WI. I'll be out of here soon enough. Patience is a virtue and it def. pays off!

Battle Of Confidence & Such

So you put yourself out there and you soon realize you are different, just like everyone else. You also realize that not everyone likes your personality, your style, your opinions, your nationality, your friends, family, and you as a person. They throw mean words at you, give you  dirty looks, spread rumors. Or you might even find out later that some of the people you tried befriending don't like you, and you did everything you could. It's hard, you're frustrated or hurt. Some of you even have your  self-esteem drop. You might possibly think that you're not good enough, or something is wrong with you.

But there is NOTHING wrong with you! Call me cliche, but the things that make you different are things that make you who you are and unique. So the next time your haters get at you, just stop walking smile, and then walk again moving on. Never be anybody but yourself. I speak from experience. I've wasted a good 18-19 YEARS of my life just trying to be like who  I hung out with. I'd say things that they would say, did things that they would do, went where they did. I basically shadowed them. It didn't get me very far...in fact, I just was hardly notice. Pretty much an epic fail. 

So I say this: Never shadow anyone, because people wont know or like the actual you. They'll like the light coming from the person that makes you a shadow. 

If you understand metaphors, that should make sense to you. I hope to God it does, because I suck at explaining things. 

Finally, I had enough! I wanted to included. I wanted to be noticed, loved, all that fuzzy-warm shiznip. I just put MYself out there, said things that only I would say, did things that I wanted to do. Ya know, basically just.be.me. I can tell you I was ONE HUNDRED PERCENT MORE HAPPIER. Plus, people were actually more drawn to me. It was so fulfilling and surprising. Don't be afraid to shine people, be you. That's all your suppose to be in life-is you. So where am I going with this blog? 

I'm saying is people are not always gonna like you. My little sister came home crying the other day because she wanted to dye her hair a brighter blonde. She went to school and two kids laughed at her and called her Barbie. I told her "You know what? Not everyone is going to like your style. Style is different for everyone. Who cares?"  Are you gonna hold yourself down because you're scared of what people think about you? There's gonna be people who will hate you and love you, every where you go. Don't hide yourself because you're scared of other peoples judgements. If you know who you are, you shouldn't fear their judgement. "I don't fear your judgement, because I already know who I am."-Angela King. (Don't Google her, nobody famous, just my friend.)  

You may feel at times like you are all alone, but truth is there ARE people out there who care about you. The other truth...it may not be who you expected or who you hoped for but there are people out there who do. And those are the ones that matter.

Have faith in yourself, and remember "Never Doubt Your Worth/Value."-Me
