Bad Luck Friday

This past Friday June 4th, was not my best day at all. My brother got my bike stolen by some Mexican(s) while going to his baby mothers house at 3am to get his son food and clothes. Who told him to leave the bike outside so late? Matter fact, who told him he can take my bike out the house without my permission. So now he owes me $170. I had the bike for two years and barely rode it. It was like new.

So anyway, Friday morning I had to meet him to get my money. He tells me he only has about $80 to give me. I said fine, you owe me $90 more. After he leaves, I decided to get on my mother’s home computer to do some homework discussions. I was parked right outside but I completely forgot that there is alternate side parking on my mothers block. There’s no parking on her side at 9:30 am and I received a ticket at 9:37am. I was so pissed but I was afraid too. I didn’t know what to tell my uncle. The car and plates are in his friends name and he was so angry that I got a parking ticket. Although it was only a fine for $45 I wanted to pay it right away. However, my uncle told me the ticket probably is not in the system yet and that I should wait about 10 days before I pay it. It was minor but I thought to myself, there is a first time for everything.

Then I went to work that same day. It could have been better if I didn’t have a serious migraine or this wicked cold that I caught. Nonetheless, my day at work was okay. I had to inform my supervisor that I wouldn’t be coming in on Monday June 7th, because that is the day of my mothers Graduation. She was fine with me taking the day off. But once I asked my mother what time was her graduation ceremony starting on Monday, she looked at me like I was crazy. Come to find out the actual date of her graduation is Thursday June 17th, but it wasn’t my fault. My mother has been telling me the wrong date all this time for almost a month that it will be held on June 7th. All I could do is shake my head in disbelief. I told my mom that I already took the day off and she said for me to go ahead to work anyways.

Then as I sat there and think to myself, all I could say was “what a day” and lay back on the couch lost in my own thoughts. Now I have to make everything right.

Laugh Until It Hurts

I wake up this morning with the most sore throat I can ever imagine. I can't eat solid foods because I have a really hard time swallowing. I can barely talk and my throat hurts whenever I laugh. I don't know how I am going to heal this but I hope it wont hurt this much tomorrow when I need my voice the most. At work! Especially being that I work with children.

It's hard to believe that laughing is what caused all of this to happen. I lost my voice before from screaming so much at Six Flags Great Adventures Theme Park. It took almost three days just for me to recover from a sore throat. Today I tried using a chloraseptic spray to see if it will somewhat relieve my sore throat but no luck. I was offered alcohol, salt water with lemon, and ginger but I am afraid to take either or because I believe it will only burn my throat. I don't like taking medicine and I am not quite sure every home remedy works so normally I suck it up and deal with the pain. Sleeping it off usually is my best resort.

I will be lying to myself if I said I regret laughing so hard, but how can someone resist laughing? If you're having fun and especially when you are in the company of my silly brothers and friends I can guarantee you will laugh just as hard as I did. But maybe, yesterday really took the cake. I have a feeling it is bound to happen all over again sooner than later.

Creepy Centipedes

OMG! Did I just see the biggest and most ugliest centipede in my life! I hate those things. It creeps me out to the bone. I just saw one huge grayish brown centipede the size of my index finger crawl right across my bedroom floor. I screamed, squealed and jumped on my computer chair so quick you could have sworn I saw a rat or something worse.

I called out for help and my cousin came into my bedroom. She asked what happened with freight because she heard my screams. I told her what it was and where it went then she tried to kill it but it had already ran off somewhere. I was still standing on my computer chair. So my cousin called for help and got my uncle to come kill the damn thing. For some reason, he has a fascination with killing centipedes. I don't know what it is but I am just glad that he isn't scared of them. He got the broom stick from the kitchen and searched for it by removing my dressers to the side in search to see where it had ran off to.

Unfortunately, my uncle must have came a bit too late because we couldn't find the ugly creature anywhere. What we decided to do is spray my room with Insect Control in hop9es of killing the centipede. As I write this blog, I had already put my shoes back on and stayed on my computer chair to type this. I can honestly say, I am afraid to leave this room or to move to go anywhere. I don't want that thing to crawl out of his little sneaky hiding area and find a new home within this home that I live in.

This is my turf and I refuse to be scared off because of some creepy looking insect! I HATE CENTIPEDES!!!

Barefooted in NYC

Today I was in Manhattan and I could not believe what I saw. A man wearing jeans and a backpack came right off the train walking with no shoes on his feet. I was so disgusted. How can someone walk the streets of New York City barefooted? I thought maybe he was mugged for his shoes on the train. Then I said out loud to myself “I feel sorry for him”. it wasn’t surprising that everyone acted normal once they seen this man walking barefooted though. Its Manhattan and there’s a lot of crazy things you may see so that was nothing compared to some other outrageous sights. At least he was bearable to look at. I was confused as to why he had no shoes on his feet anyway but I figured maybe he took them off and is trying something new. Something of change or some form of spiritual process to become a better person in life. Then again, maybe he wanted to act normal and not send off an alert to frighten anyone while walking down the street. The police probably would have stopped him and arrested him. I don’t know but it was pretty gross. I know I would never do that.

Asthma FREE

I don’t have asthma and lord knows I do not need to have it. I know so many people who has to deal with it. Friends and family relatives. You can literally identify some random people that you may see walking down the street that may have asthma as well just from the way they talk or if you can get close enough to hear their breathing as they walk. Its sad because asthma is not something you would want to play with. Overall, mostly people who are over weight are the ones who are diagnose with this common breathing difficulty. I hope that my children will not be victims of asthma or myself. I thank god that no one in my immediate family has asthma either. that’s how I know it is not a family health problem that can be passed down. Not saying that we are perfect but everyone has their flaws. I don’t know how I would be able to deal with knowing I have asthma and trying to help keep it under control. It seems like a lot of work. With that being said, I plan on eating healthy and exercising as much as possible on a daily basis to stay in shape. Sounds like a good plan to me J

Being Mis-Informed

Okay, so as I wrote in my previous blog at simplylorin.blogspot.com/ I explained how I recovered from my stomach virus. I also went on to explain how I missed class during that day. My course of action was to drop the class and pick it up next session but unfortunately that was wasn’t the case. Because I was mis-informed by the Devry staff I came too late to drop the course. However I was able to pick up another class next session which is cool. But I had to withdraw from this MATH221 class and which I didn’t want to do because then I will have to pay a percentage of that class. If I had dropped it, I wouldn’t have to pay anything and it wouldn’t show up on my transcripts that I had dropped it. Now my transcripts will show that I withdraw from the class with a letter “W”. I guess the only good thing is that it wouldn’t affect my GPA. Thank Goodness because as of right now I am maintaining an average of 3.65 and I do not intend on falling any lower than a 3.5. So for further references, I now know that I must drop a class within the first two weeks before the class meets a second time. This will definitely not happen again.

Foul Living

I cannot stand a dirty house! Have you ever been in someone else’s apartment and they are just the dirtiest people you have come across. I mean to the point where you cant even stand in their place to breathe the filthy air they live in. let alone to lean up on their wall. And you know its bad when they live in a apartment building and the elevators are cleaner and more sanitary then their own apartment. I know of so many people that can care less what they house look like. Then they have the nerve to dress all cute and flashy out in the streets as if they sh*t don’t stink. Can you believe them? That is why I keep my distance from people who lives that way. I don’t visit people homes that often either. If I do, trust me, ill be waiting outside where I can breathe some fresh air and not the stench of dirty laundry and a weeks load of dishes in the kitchen sink. Sooner or later your friend will get the picture when they call you on your cell phone and say “girl, why you don’t come hang out at my place anymore?” and you reply “have you seen your place?” I don’t care if that person lives alone or have children, it doesn’t matter because there is no excuse for living in such filth. When they catch H1N1, or have little mice as pets and roaches the size of crickets, I’m sure that will set them straight once and for all.
