  • Is Money Evil?!?

    Is Money Evil?!?

    The story

    I was listening to the radio this morning about two sisters, 83 and 87 year old, who for a long time always gambled together. In 1997 they had a letter notarized stating that whatever the other won, they would split the sharing’s. In 2005 one of the 83 year old sister won $500k. She won this with her brother and they decided not to share it with their older sister. The 87 year old sister had to find out about their winnings in the newspaper. She is now suing her sister for her part of the money. She says, it’s not about the money, but about morals and the fact that they had a pact to share each others winnings. The sisters had a falling out and the 83 year old women believes she shouldn’t have to share her winnings with her 87 year old sister. The 87 year old sister says she misses her sister but all she wants is what is rightfully hers.

    My Thoughts

    Is money evil?!? Even at the age of 87 and 83, after so many years of knowing what family means, they still let money get in the way. People are still arguing over money. Money has we know it for centuries has destroyed families, friendships and more. Don’t get me wrong, I would love to have a lot of money one day, who wouldn’t, but why does it have to change who you are?!? If you were raised with certain morals, certain beliefs, you need to be strong enough to keep those beliefs and morals, to stay true to yourself. I think what happens, is that people get greedy, and greed unfortunately takes over the love you have for people. This will only leave you lonely and unhappy at the end of the day. I rather be happy and comfortable then rich and miserable.

    Sometimes our hearts get tangled
    And our souls a little off-kilter
    Friends and family can set us right
    And help guide us back to the light.

  • 4th of July Weekend 2009

    This weekend was a long weekend for me. Our office closed since July 4th was on a Saturday this year.

    Friday July 3, 2009

    Friday I got up early, cleaned the house, did some laundry, and started dinner for my parents who were coming back from their vacation in Sanibell. They got home around 1pm and we hung out for a bit and later went into the pool. The pool was so relaxing, the day started off with rain but later became a beautiful day. We later had dinner and got ready to go to the HardRock Cafe in Hollywood to meet up with some friends of ours. We went to the Improv to see Todd Glass. He was funny, but not has funny as I thought he would be. His opening act was a man by the name David, I can’t remember his last name and I wish I did because he was really funny.

    After the improv we decided to go get some drinks. We started off at this Piano Bar. Okay you have to believe me when I say this was funnier then the improv. There was some women dancing on the stage which was just hilarious. Then they called up 4 men to dance on stage with that song that Will Smith dances to in the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. You can see the video HERE

    I love this video, it’s too funny, so you can imagine these guys dancing to this song right in front of you. It was so funny, I wish I would have filmed it. 🙂 We later sat outside Tatu for some drinks. We enjoyed talking and the music that came from the bar across from us. Friday night ended nice.

    Saturday July 4th

    Saturday was a lazy day. We didn’t want to do anything. My boyfriend worked most of the morning and I later decided to go in the pool. We enjoyed the pool and started BBQ’ing.
    The food came out Delish!!! We later got ready and decided to go to the movies instead of finding a place where there were fireworks. So we went at 9pm to see the movie Public Enemy with Johnny Dept. You can see the trailer HERE True story and a great movie, Johnny Dept did an incredible job in this movie.

    Sunday July 5, 2009

    Sunday was a lounging day, I did a little homework and then packed our stuff and headed to my boyfriends house. We got stuck in traffic for about an hour due to an accident but once we got home we relaxed and watched tv. Later caught Ice Age Part I on Fx. I was excited to see it because I had only seen Part II. Which later came on after Part I was finished. I really want to see the 3rd one that is just coming out, looks really funny.

    So sunday was over with a flash and here we are, starting Monday all over again. Hoping this week goes fast….

  • Memorial Weekend…(Mark Aaron James)

    I know I am a little late on telling you how my Memorial Weekend went. I apologize. I have been so busy with school and work, and studying that I haven’t had the time to catch up.

    So my weekend….

    Friday we ended up not doing much, just hanging out at the house and I studied. Saturday we hung out during the day and at night got ready for a house concert at one of my boyfriends clients house. The artist: Mark Aaron James. I hadn’t heard about him until Saturday night, and let me tell you, I really enjoyed the night. It started off muggy, and it did rain a little but we were under the tent, and there was a nice breeze. This is something rare here in Miami LOL. So there was food and drinks and music. Can’t ask for a better night. 😉

    So back to Mark….

    His music lyrics remind me a lot of Jason Mraz. It’s funny, different, happy. I loved it. He sang and played the guitar wonderfully. Look below and you can see his picture. I also recommend you checking him out.

    Sunday…

    Sunday we stayed home during the day, while I studied some more, and at night we met up with another couple friend and went to my favorite Sushi place… Shibui. 🙂

    We ate, and as I enjoyed the mouth watering sushi in my mouth we talked and enjoyed the night. Later went over to a Bar near by called Skully’s Tavern. Mind you, I used to go here when I was little with my Aunt, and I have to say the place looks good. The drinks were good too. They closed at 1:30 so we headed out to the Tavern by Sunset Place. Had more drinks, talked more and ended the night GREAT!!!!

    Monday…

    To not go into to much detail, my dad was in the hospital Sunday night and had to get his appendix removed. He’s okay and home now, but Monday, I had to go visit him at the hospital. We then went to my house and my brother, sister in law and nephews were there. So I studied more ( I KNOW, I KNOW, I’m so studious) LOL…. We ate some good BBQ & Later went back to my boyfriends house. It was a great weekend, very busy and getting ready for a big test I have tomorrow and a long busy weekend a head of me.

    Until next time… shoot me an email with questions or leave comments.

  • Plan a party at someone elses house without letting them know?!

    Dear Kristin Nicole,

    I have a friend who came over last weekend, and we discussed having a get together at my house to watch movies and eat with a bunch of our friends. However, I didn’t confirm with her and she went on to invite everyone without letting me know about it. On top of everything I realized I had a big project due this Saturday, my boyfriend will be painting the house and I have a lot of work to do as well. I told her that we had to cancel because of all the things I had to do and she sent an email out inviting everyone to another one of our friends house, without even confirming with him or asking him if it was okay to do that. She is out of control, and my friend called her best friend to tell her we needed to do something about this because she was getting out of control. Now she canceled the surprise graduation party she had for her best friend on Monday because her best friend told her she couldn’t throw the parties at either of our houses. How do we tell her that it’s just not right to invite people to other people’s houses with out discussing it with them first?

    ~ Frustrated Friend

    Dear Frustrated Friend,

    To be blunt your friend needs to learn some manners. It is very rude to invite yourself and others to someone elses house with out their approval. However, I understand that she is your friend and you guys are just trying to let her know that she needs to discuss things with you first before planning events at your house. Perhaps your friend just got a little excited about the whole get together, that she doesn’t realize that what she is doing isn’t the right way to go about things. Sit down with your friend and let her know that you were a little upset because she didn’t confirm with you. That next time you just need her to confirm with you before inviting people to your house. As for your other friend who was also upset, he should also tell her that she can not just invite people to his house with out asking him. Explain to her that you aren’t upset with her, you just need to communicate more with each other before planning any events. Or just don’t plan any other events with her to assure that she won’t go off the handle and plans things with out your permission.

  • Who’s your best friend?

    Who’s your best friend?

    Sometimes you have more then one best friend, sometimes you have more then one in a lifetime. I know I have.

    Best Friend:

    Definition: Best Friend, someone (singular or plural) with whom one shares the strongest possible kind of friendship(s)

    I have had different best friends through out my life time. Or so I thought they were my best friends at the time. But has life teaches you sometimes a person isn’t always your best friend.

    BF?

    Through out my 26 years I have had a few best friends and I have lost most of them and only a few stuck around or left and came back. I have had friends who I considered my best friends up until I realized they weren’t really my friends at all. Either they talked bad about me, lied to me or I just realized they only cared about themselves and if I needed them, where were they? Is that a best friend? Someone who lies, talks about you and is never there for you? So I decided to part my ways and move on.

    How do you move on?

    You have to be strong, if you realize a person isn’t good for you, then you have to think about yourself, and what is going to be good for you in the long run. I had a friend who I thought was one of my best friends, and I would call her and she would disappear for weeks on end, while I was worried something may have happened to her, then she would call me and everything would be okay. We would talk practically every day, then she would disappear again. After the last few times of this, I got tired of always feeling like I was the only one trying in our friendship. I realized that if I had a problem I couldn’t even rely on calling her, because she wouldn’t pick up. What kind of friend is this? Not a friend at all. So I wrote her an email, the only way I can contact her since she wasn’t picking up my phone calls. I told her how I felt and I told her I would be here for her if she needed me. I never got a reply, a call, nothing. So I moved on. Friends come and go and even though sometimes it really sucks to loose them in your life, I truly believe that you meet people to teach you lessons, or they’re just passing by to introduce you to someone else in your life. I have actually met many people who have introduced me to other people which changed the course of my life. You can’t turn back time and you can’t change things that happen in your life. Each person that walks into your life is a blessing, whether it’s bad or good. At the end of the day it’s a lesson learned, and new a journey and pathway into your life.

    The last friend I spoke of, I couldn’t have asked for anything better because of her I met my boyfriend. I couldn’t be happier. So you see…You meet people for a reason, even if they aren’t meant to stay in your life forever.

    True Best Friends

    True best friends stick around for the long run. I have been lucky to have had so many friends, even if they have come and gone in my life. The ones who have stuck around, those are a blessing. My mom, that’s the first one, she will always be there for me no matter what, and this I know is true. She has been there for me when I couldn’t stand up, when I was worried or scared. She is truly a best friend any person can ever ask for.

    Then there is my sister in law, she came into my life and we just clicked. She has always been there for me, we even have fought like true sisters. I know I can tell her anything and she won’t judge. I know that she will always be there for me like I will be there for her.

    My boyfriend, I couldn’t ask for anything more then a person not only I love but is also my best friend. I talk to him about everything. Even if it’s about him, I can’t help but tell him that he’s annoying me. LOL. Not many people are as lucky as I am to find a boyfriend and have him be your best friend. And if you are just as lucky as I am, count your blessings =)

    Then you have friends that you loose touch with but in the end of the day, they will come back. My best friend Grace. We have memories from when we were 14 years old. We lost touch for a while, our lives were in different roads, but we found each other again, and we know that we will always be there for each other no matter what.

    So if you have a best friend, be grateful. Count your blessings for even those friends who have come into your life and left. Because everyone comes into your life for a reason.

  • Social Anxiety, Bad Relationships

    A friend of mine who was/is/sort of dating this guy has social anxiety. Now I say was/is/sort of because it’s an on and off relationship, and I just don’t know where they stand right now. So back to the story, my friend can’t even be out in a restaurant with him before he starts asking for the check. He doesn’t like to hang out with her friends, only the 2 friends he has. They don’t go out & they spend all their time in his room. Is this a relationship?

    What is social anxiety disorder?

    Most people occasionally feel the familiar signs of nervousness when meeting new people or speaking in front of a group. But for people with social anxiety disorder, or social phobia, these signs of nervousness are much worse. Their fear of everyday social situations makes it very difficult for them to function on a daily basis. Social anxiety disorder affects about 10.5 million Americans in any given year. Social anxiety disorder occurs more often in women than in men.

    The story
    But in this case it’s the male who is suffering from Social Anxiety. Now is it really social anxiety he has? Or is it something deeper, something else that is causing him to not even hang out with her friends. He has only been able to go to one of her friends house, and even there he is begging to leave and gets mad because he says they make him feel unwanted. What is this about? Get a grip I would say! Man up! What is your problem??? But what if his problem really is Social Anxiety? Can she live with this? I am one of her closest friends and I’m still waiting to meet the guy. It’s been over 6 months~!?

    Unhappy
    She hasn’t been happy in a long time, and they have nothing in common but watching shows on t.v. That isn’t a relationship. And yet she holds on to only reasons she knows. I can’t utterly understand the concept of staying in a relationship you aren’t happy in. Okay I take that back, I was in a relationship I wasn’t happy in. But to my defense I really wanted to be happy! Okay, so that’s how most of us women think! Even though we tell our girlfriends and deep down know that we aren’t happy, we still somehow come up with all these reasons to stay in a relationship, even though it’s tearing you apart inside.

    Why???
    Why do we do this? I guess a lot of us want to help that person (if they do have a problem such as social anxiety), or your don’t want to be alone, or you believe that you are so in love that you can’t find someone better, and some of us (no offense) are just stupid. Hey I was STUPID! DUMB, YOU name it, THAT WAS ME! But I opened my eyes and I realized that you cannot change or help a person that doesn’t want to be helped. And you cannot hope to be happy, you either are or you aren’t.

    Make a Change
    Put yourself first for once and do what is right for you. Don’t be scared to hurt the other person. In the long wrong they will see it too, that you are only doing what is right for the both of you. Why does he/she want to be with someone that doesn’t love them? And why do you want to stay with someone you don’t love? Move on!

    My Advice
    Back to my friend…Giving her my advice I would say. You are beautiful, smart, fun, don’t settle, find someone you love and that loves you back and that will be willing to do things you like. (Hanging out w/ your friends, going to the movies, dinner). Don’t settle because you have had some crummy relationships and he seems nice. Nice sometimes isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be. You need more than nice! You need love, laughter, trust. That’s another issue in itself TRUST! (He goes through her text messages). Then he confronts her on her text messages. (wow). So friend, the road is tough, and the journey’s are hard, but keep on moving because you’ll pull through stronger than ever and you will one day, I PROMISE find that man that will truly make you happy! (And that advice is to all women/or men out there who think they can’t find anyone better than the person they are with now). Trust me you can! I let go of the unhappiness and now I FOUND what is real. I found love and I couldn’t thank god anymore than I already do for giving me the strength to finally let go and move on. So be strong, and move one from that rut you say you can’t possibly get out of. Because I KNOW YOU CAN! & YOU WILL.

  • Support your Partner, Family &/or Friends?

    How do you know when it’s the right time to support the partner, family or friend you are with?

    I heard on the radio the other day a women calling in, saying that she wanted to own her own business. Her husband didn’t want to support her. He said they didn’t have money for it and she couldn’t do it. She didn’t let that stop her, she got a loan and opened up her own business and now she is doing great. She says she doesn’t give him a dime and she can do as she pleases because since he didn’t support her he has no say in her business now. Why wouldn’t her husband support her?

    Support
    If my boyfriend told me he wanted to do something that can make him money, whether or not I agree with it, and whether it’s something I would do or not, I would support him. Why? Because it will make him happy. And what makes him happy makes me happy. Whether it works out in the end or not doesn’t matter. If it didn’t work then you take your losses and you start over. But at least you know you tried. If it does work, even better! I can understand if the terms of building a new idea was going to cost you to invest a lot of money, money you perhaps don’t have. I can see, where being hesitant to support your partner comes in here. If this isn’t the circumstance then I don’t see the problem. Don’t bring someone else’s dream down just because you may think it won’t work out.

    To Support or Not to Support???
    Now how do you know what to support them in and what not to support them in? Some people mistake this a lot believe it or not. If the person you know is doing drugs, but you are afraid to tell them how bad that is for them, or that they need help, or you think they will get mad at you. This is the time to not support there habit. This is a totally different situation than the one I described above. Do you care for them? Love them? Then take your chances, because when that person truly realizes that what you are doing is because you care for them and love them then they’ll get over the anger, but don’t support there habit. Help them by supporting their recovery. Be there for them by helping them not making it worse.

    Do not Support
    If someone you know drinks too much, same thing. Tell them they need to stop or your relationship is going to disintegrate. I know it’s harsh, but they need to know these things, and if they truly want to help themselves and they truly love you, they will at least try.

    Try to support the person you love the best way you know how. Everyone needs to make their own steps in life and learn from them, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t help push them in the right direction sometimes. Supporting someone’s dream and supporting someones drug or alcohol problem are two different things. By supporting someone in who is addicted to something is not helping them it’s only making it worse.

  • Small moments do matter!

    When I was younger I felt sometimes as if my world was falling apart. I didn’t know what to do, where to turn. If I went right, I was supposed to go left. I held people in my hearts to the highest power, until they lost my trust. Then I blocked them out of my life, because who needs someone in their lives who is only going to hurt you?

    You feel
    Sometimes you lie down and you feel as if the world is spinning, almost as if the world will come crashing down on you any second, and when you finally get the courage to open your eyes and look out the window you can truly see the world isn’t spinning anymore. You take a deep breath and start another day with a smile on your face. Not all days were like this, but most of them. Hiding behind a shield, pretending to be someone your not, only to realize you don’t even know who you are anymore. When did you start pretending and when did it get so far that you lost yourself? Questions asked, answers un-answered.

    Small bit of hope
    Then there comes a time in your life when you finally realize things need to change, you need to change. For the better. I used to think like this. Struggling to find a way out of a hole I put myself in, yet I couldn’t find the way out. But has I got older I started to realize that life comes with it’s ups and downs, and sometimes weather we like it or not we have to sit down and realize that even if we aren’t happy in that moment doesn’t mean we’ll feel like this forever. A small bit of hope entered my heart, and this is what kept me going….

    Never give up
    Strive for what you want don’t let it go, no matter how many tears, no matter how much anger or burdened feelings you have inside, get up and fight for what you want. Because if life as taught me anything in the 26 years of living, it’s taught me to be strong, to live life in the moments that sometimes just seem to pass you by. When you finally realize how not to take things so personal you also start to realize the world isn’t so bad.

    Things do get better
    As you grow older you start to see the world in a different light. You start to notice that not all flowers bloom in the spring. Thinking positive and believing in what you want is what makes you stronger. Look at the small moments in your life that made you laugh, or smile. Aren’t those the moments you always remember. People take life for granted, they don’t realize that the smallest moments in your lives sometimes are the greatest moments you will ever experience. I remember when I was about 7 or 8 years old and I was hanging out with my grandmother that day (on my dad’s side). She told me she had a surprise for me. My surprise: Taco Bell. I was ecstatic, taco bell, my favorite, when I was little. Small moment = Great moment. We spent the entire day together, eating at Taco Bell, Playing board games and watching The Price Is Right! Again small moment = GREAT MOMENT! I have had many small moments in my life that made me smile. For my birthday I went with my boyfriend to Key Biscayne and with our new camera, we spent the day taking pictures. Some may think this was a small moment, but to me it was a GREAT Moment. I had so much fun, just relaxing and taking pictures. It was almost as if I was somewhere else just for a few hours.

    Whats my point
    Whats my point? One point in my life I felt as if the walls were closing in on me. I had locked myself in a box with no way out. Then I grew up, I realized that there is more out there in the world. There is so much more to see and feel. Even though life is hard and we remember the pain that we go through, you have to sit back and remember all the good times you have had too. Life is too short to only remember the bad. Close your eyes and picture a time you felt really happy. Wasn’t that a great moment in your life?

    Small Moments = GREAT MOMENTS!!!!!

  • Who is to blame?

    I have a friend who continues to contemplate weather or not to break up with her boyfriend. I can’t stop to think, what is she thinking? But who is ever thinking anything when they believe things can work? When you do love this person, but sometimes can’t distinguish at the time weather it’s love (for a friend) or I’m in love (you are my soul mate).

    She has tried to open up to him and change some of her flaws, (we all have them), but it never seems to be enough. I think in any relationship you try to change the things the other person may not like. I don’t mean to change your whole persona, you are who you are, and the person you are with should love you for you. When I say change, I MEAN like you don’t normally throw your laundry in the basket you throw it on the floor, and the person you are with dislikes this, you can change. Just throw it in the basket from now on. Small changes make a world of a difference.

    I can truly say I know both people. I know her boyfriend and I used to hang out with him a lot while they were in there long distance portion of the relationship. He has a lot of issues with his past and his family and trust is a factor he doesn’t carry very often. He can’t take responsibility for things he may have fault in and everything always seems to be her fault. Is that right? To always blame the other person? To never see your own fault? How much easier it is to blame the other person, so that if things end…”It wasn’t me. I tried my best, she/he left me. Poor Me”.

    Don’t cry about it, see what you are doing wrong yourself. Don’t you want to try and work it out with this person you say you “LOVE”? Then when the other person in this case, (the girl) tries to tell you how she feels, tries to reach out, you (in this case the guy), tries to turn things around as if it was all her fault. And poor little boy who cries in the corner gets dumped by his girlfriend. GIVE ME A BREAK! Grow up, be a man, stand up for what you really want. And if it’s not her, just tell her, but don’t play games and make yourself look like the victim. Don’t pretend as if she is to blame for the entire relationship falling apart. (Now I’m not to say it’s always the guy, there are situations where the girl acts this way).

    He told her he might move away for school, but he wasn’t sure, and this was decided before they became a couple. But don’t you think that now that they are a couple he should talk to her about this? He is moving to other side of the country, I’m not talking a few hours away. I’m talking plane ride, couple days in a car distance. This isn’t something you just do when you are with someone you say you love. Am I right, or am I thinking selfishly here? I don’t think you should stop your future plans especially if it’s for school, but it would be nice to have an adult discussion as to what may happen with “us” if you move away.

    I just hope that she truly chooses what is best for her, that she can see she deserves better. That anyone in that position guy or girl deserves better. And if you aren’t happy, get out, move on. There is someone out there for everyone, there as to be. I can not believe other wise. Because when I lost love more than once, I thought this is it, I’m going to be alone and never find anyone. Then god showed me that you just have to learn from your mistakes, or the mistakes of others and when you least expect it you find that person who is for you.

    This saying is small but cute – “If you love me, let me know. If not, please gently let me go”. ~Anonymous

    Relationships aren’t easy, but if you truly love the person you are with, you always try to make it work.

    If you have your own relationship stories, or questions please email me Soapnights@gmail.com. Don’t be shy, I’ll only tell you what I think, you can take it from there… =)

  • Taking things for Granted

    Taking things for Granted
    There are things in life that people always take for granted. I believe that the human mind sometimes can’t help but take things for granted. We take our Parents for granted, our spouse or significant other and we take our Family and Friends for granted. Do you really stop to think and thank the people in your lives each day? Do you really stop to ”smell the flowers”? We take life in general for granted. We probably don’t even thank god each night for being blessed with the things we do have in our lives, because I always believe that things in life can be worse, that there is someone out there worse off than you. I hear people complain all the time about how they don’t have money to go out, shop to do things they want. (I’ve been one of those people) People don’t realize that sometimes those things aren’t what makes a person happy. I am the one person to believe that it helps, every one loves to have material things, to go out and have fun. But did you ever stop to think that even people with money have problems? Sometimes they have so much money but no family to love and have support from.

    I rather have my family and my boyfriend in my life over all the money in the world, because with out them how can I enjoy basking in the joy of money, who will I go to dinner with or on Vacation with all this money if I have no one to share it with. If I have no one to share it with what will be the purpose of having all that money? And who’s to say that you can’t live life with out having a lot of money? Do you have a roof over your head? Do you have food each day? Do you have a family to go to if you were in trouble? I say that if you have any of those things you are pretty well off, because there are people in the street with no where to go, no family and no food. So be thankful that you have a job to hold your own, that you have a bed to go to and food to feed you.

    Taking your parents for granted
    Back to taking your Parents for granted…. Do you really see the sacrifices they make for us? How much love they give to us, they taught us things to make us into the person we’ve become today. Even if you don’t get along with your Mom or Dad they still brought you into this world and they still love you unconditionally because that’s what parents do. They stop to give you the world if they knew that’s what you wanted before getting hurt. Some people don’t have family. Some people aren’t as lucky to even have a family as I described above. Some people aren’t meant to be parents, and the children are the ones that suffer.

    Friends
    If you have just one friend cherish your friendship and don’t let stupid things get in the way of it. I have lost many friendships, some over little pettish things that happen in everyday life, things you think are huge at a certain age or time. Looking back, some of these friends I wish I still had in my life.

    Relationships
    I think we take our spouse or significant other for granted as well. Do you really see all the things they do for you because they care? Even if it’s the smallest things (like a note in your bag when you go to work saying they love you). Do you know how so many people wish they had/have that in their relationship. Cherish the moments, cherish the laughs, cherish the people who are in your life and who love you, because with out them who are you? You become the person you are through the tribulations and hardships that you have gone through, you are the person you are because of the people that have walked into your life, even if for a second, that person might have told you something to change the way you think, maybe even act. From the time you were born to the day you die someone and something will change the way you look at life. It’s part of life, it’s a journey you take to become the person you are, the person you want to be.

    Don’t take for granted the little we have left with the people we have. If your reading this and I know you, remember that I will always love you, care for you and be here for you, even if I don’t say it all the time.
