Eating at Freddy's

Today, my family decided to go to the waterpark, which ended up me being cold during the beginnning and sunbathing at the end of it. After we spent time at the waterpark, we decided to go to Freddy's, which is a restaurant known for frozen custard and steak burgers, yum :).

I never been in there before and decided to order something other than the orignal because my sister and father and uncle took that order, so I wanted some variety. I ordered the California style burger, which I thought was normal and just had something else cold in it, but I was wrong. It had peanut butter in it or some nutty sauce in it. Let's just say, it tasted good.

There is no point to this post, other than I wanted you to know about my day, that's all.

Patience

Growing up, I never had a problem learning patience because I already had it. I also did not have a problem of growing patience. It was just a quality that I have always had as a person and still have, which I am proud of.

However, it is also one of major flaws. Even though it is a good quality to have patience to waiting in line for a couple of minutes or waiting for someone who is running late, I tend to be lenient towards people. For instance, my friend told me he would drive me around for 30 minutes and will pick me up around 3:00 pm. He did not even come until around 4:30 pm, which to some people seems a bit unneeded, but I was fine with it.

What I Believe

In my opinion, some people go into a relationship because they are bored, lonely, or heartbroken. I think those are fine reasons to go into one, but not the best ones because I believe that we need to be whole and fixed before we go into a relationship.

In a rut

I do not know about you, but I feel like everyone's life is growing and developing while my life is just existing and passing and not doing anything. Maybe it is the fever talking or the fact that I have been spending way too much time with myself because undoubted, I do.

Fevers suck

I am under the weather, which I know is not an excuse for the nonchalant posts. Forgive me.

Stickler for the rules

As a person now and before, I was never a stickler for anything too objective. I never liked anything too black and white. A yes or no question is difficult for me, and lately, I have been answering with maybe.

Rules, to me, were meant to bended, were meant to be challenged.

Slow Down

I was never the most romantic person on the planet. Heck, the first I was asked out on a date, I thought was a joke. But, do not worry, that guy remains one of best friends today, no hard feelings whatsoever when I said no. I remembered asking him if he was going to homecoming or not, just to see the people in that scene. He answered to me that he was not going to be his date because I said no to him last time and that it was his turn, playfully of course. We are like siblings and keep things completely platonic.

I never liked when a relationship goes to quickly. To me, I do not think that should ever happen.

I just wanted to tell you that, nothing more.

With love,

While I am under the weather...

Feeling sick is awful, but it gives me an excuse to indulge into eating my favorite foods. I wanted to share to you some of my favorites and see what are yours.

1. Blood Orange Soda
I am not a big fan of carbonated drinks, but blood orange soda is my favorite thing to drink, especially while I am sick. Even though orange juice is a well known helper while people are sick, I prefer blood orange because it tends to be less sweet and has a more citrus taste to it. Also, the carbonation in the drink keeps my stomach in check.

2. Coffee
I guess this drink is not a total surprise. To me, it is much better than tea and makes me feel better while I am sick, especially if I have been feeling cold.

3. Bitter Melon
Bitter melon is very bitter, but I like it that way, since it tastes so amazing and yummy. Unlike most foods, bitter melon does not make me feel nauseous and keeps me full, not heavy.

4. Teddy Graham Crackers
I love the taste of graham crackers, but the teddy bear shape, the bite size, and the different flavors makes it all more enjoyable.

5. Blueberries
I love blueberries and tend to eat a lot of them whenever I am sick.

These are my favorite foods wen I am sick because they do not make feel sick. Most of the foods I do not like, such as chicken, kale, mushrooms, and olives, tend to get the best of me when I am sick and make feel nauseous.  Also, many starchy foods like pasta, bread, potato and others make me feel nauseous, and I tend to avoid them.

Rough Times

I apologize for not keeping contact with you because that is selfish of me, but I am going through rough patches right now that I hope that I have the strength to go over. You may believe this post is going to be in terms of family problems, but surprisingly, it is not. This post is about my health, my situation, and my life. Overly narcisstic, I apologize once again.

Apparently, the people who did my braces ended up making me have a bump inside my gums. Now, many people will think nothing of it, including me, but according to my new dentist and mother, the bump in my gums is traumatic. It is either a viral or bacterial or just deformation in my gums. I did not noticed it, until now, which makes me afraid because I want to be fine. I do not want to be ill, but I am also running a fever. The denistry office believes the cause of my fever is the bump in my gums, and the bump can also be the cause of my hallucinations of sparkingly tear drops whenever I think I had too much sun. I did not know I am running a fever, until everyone at the office told me I am excessively warm and too warm. I just want to be healthy.

Another thing that is not my fault is the misconception that I did not turn in my Spanish book, which I did, but my school believes that I did not, which makes me upset.

Hopefully, your life is great because that is all I hope for right now.

With love,

Voices

In my opinion, people should express their own thoughts in a rational manner, meaning we should not jump the gun on trying to end something whether it be a TV show, radio show, or fashion trend. The reason why we should end something is because someone else's feelings might get hurt. It may be one or two or hundreds, but we have to sympathetic.

ABC family is known for having risque shows, and their newest show, The Fosters, showcase a lesbian couple who house foster children. I love the show and the characters, who are very lovable and realistic. However, because of certain beliefs, many people dislike the idea of it and have to speak against it because it is in the name of their religion. Family takes a different name nowadays. It no longer needs a mother, father, and biological children, but for some reason, many people believe it as so. For instance, another popular show, Friends, portray the idea of family within 6 friends. Even though their idea of family is not the classic, cookie-cutter idea, I still believe time has changed. There is nothing wrong with the idea of a lesbian couple with foster children and a biological child because in the end, it should not matter who is in the family, but the way that family is portrayed. Sure, the kids may not have a mom and a dad, but they have guardians that love them and support them and that is all that should matter.

However, no one should hate a show because of certain characters because it is like someone hating us because we are teenagers. The idea of family is changing, and we just have to accept that.

P.S. I looked up reviews of The Fosters, and the show recieved postive reviews. However, I will not share the reviews because it is easily recieved on the Internet. But, I will show you some of other people's thoughts.

http://onemillionmoms.com/issues/abc-continues-to-produce-anti-family-programs/- I cannot stand their argument. Really, using Christianity as an argument. I apologize, but your argument is invalid, since some people are not Christians, including my sister.

Random Things

Yesterday, before I went to bed, my sister told me what my mother thinks of what I wear. Now, I knew I was not going to get a positive response, since my mom has been criticizing me what I wear ever since I got to dress myself. However, I was not expecting to get the response of my mom thinking that I dress like a hobo. When she told me that, I could not help but laugh. My mom thinks I dress like a hobo :).

Scary Things

I am scared of a lot of things, most of them are irrational and do not make sense. In trusting you, please do not make fun of me or send me images of things I am afraid of because they do fear me a lot, so please.

1. Guy Fawkes Mask
I am terrified of the Guy Fawkes mask, even to the point where I cannot even watch the film, V for Vendetta. I do not know what about it scares me so muc, but I think it is the anonymous factor.

2. Richard Nixon Mask
Again, same reason with the Guy Fawkes mask.

3. Vomit
Bodily fluids freak me out, and when someone vomits, I vomit and cry because I just do not like vomit.

4. Fire Escape Stairs
The steps have holes in between them, which freaks me out.

5. Blackbirds
Despite the fact that I love the song by the Beatles, I am terrified of blackbirds, especially when they are flying towards me.

6. Clowns
A lot of people say that people who say that clowns are one of their fears are just trying to be cute. Once in California, a guy in L.A. dressed as a clown, decided to surprise me, which eventually made me run across the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Hopefully, there is some explanation to these fears. I would appreciate it that no one sends me any photos or any videos, but an explanation will be granted.

Being Proper

To be honest with you, today is the first day that I had proper writing. In my opinion, proper writing just means that I am sitting at a desk, typing away. Lately, I have done idiotic and not so idiotic actions.

One of the idiotic actions I have committed is that I ran into a median on a main street road. It was unintentional, and I did not mean to do that at all. Siri, the lady on the GPS, decided to tell me to turn right way to soon and I ran into a median. Luckily, no one got hurt and no damage was done to the car. Thank goodness.

One of my other idiotic actions is that I went shopping and found items of clothing and bought them. You may think that is fine, but I cannot help but feel guilty when I spend money. I know that I deserve to have a couple of items for the warm weather, but I do not feel well when I spend money on myself. If it is another person, fine, yet I tend to be very cheap for myself.

One of the non-idiotic actions I committed is that my swearing has been an all time low, which is a habit I have been wanting to break for a while now, and I think I am on the right track. I did not want to quit swearing because other people told me to. I wanted to quit because I wanted to, which makes the entire process more fulfilling.

Other than the lessons I have learned, there are still little things that make life harder for me. For instance, I have trouble falling asleep. Last night, I went to bed at midnight and did not fall asleep until 2 in the morning. I hate that about myself.

Hopefully, I have the strength to keep pushing and to keep going because I know that my life is only going to be more complicated and will not be any smoother.

Normal to me is Different

I miss the days where I can go outside and not care. I miss it when I can go to the beach easily and just have an all out beach day. But, life keeps going. Time keeps ticking, and no one waits for anyone.

Review on Brandy Melville

I know I have been talking about Brandy Melville nonstop, but it is because I love the store so much and that everything in the store is so adorable and cute and fits me so well. Instead of just raving about the store, I decide to give a review about it. However, I know that my opinion is only one of many. Therefore, if you have a different opinion or would like to add on to this post, go right ahead.

Pros:

1. The concept of "One Size Fits Most"
I love the concept of one size fits most because it makes it easier for me to shop. It sounds ridiculous, but most of the items of clothing fit me well. However, there are some things that are a it too big for me. For instance, the crop shirts and tank tops are not as cropped as I would like them to be. But, I like that it fits everyone differently, I do not have to rummage to find my size, and I can share my clothes with my friends without worrying if the size is right.

2. The price
It is affordable for what the clothing is. There are some things that are seriously expensive, but there are some things that are very affordable. For instance, most of the rings there are dirt cheap, but adorable. Most of them cost $3, which is pretty cheap.

3. The decor
I love the way the store is laid out, and it is so homey and pretty and I love it.

Cons:

1. The concept of "One Size Fits Most"
It works for tops, but not all of the bottoms. I wear a size 24/25 in bottoms and if I were to be curvier than a size large, I do not think I can fit most of the items. There is an elastic band, but sometimes, the elastic band does not go as far as much as people would like. Also, some of the sweaters, which I know are meant to fit loosely and to be draped, are pretty big on me. I mean humongous, so that is my problem.

Other people's thoughts I've heard

1. Problems with customer service
I am the type of person that prefers to salesperson to not try to interact with me because I like to be independent, but some of my friends who have been to Brandy Melville complained to me about customer service. Also, I went on a weekday, a less busy day compared to weekends, so that could have contributed to the customer service.

Those are my thoughts on the store, which I am so glad I got to experience. I am a Brandy addict now.

Kids and Stupid Things

Today, I went to my father's house. Although I love my father to the moon and back, there are certain things I can live without. I am not going to elaborate on those certain things because it is way too stupid to talk about. Yes, I said stupid. I know. Some of you will say, "Stupid things are stupid because we do not want to deal with." I say that is mostly the reason why I think those situations are stupid.

Hopefully, you will have a less hectic day than I have.

Things to Remember

I guess when I am traveling or even when I am alone most of my time, I tend to forget things. It can be as miniscule as forgetting a toothbrush to actually forgetting to do something, such as making myself lunch. During the school year, I tend to not think about those things because they were automatic. My life was structured, but now, my life is not structured. Everyday is different. Everyday I can do anything I want. Even though it is what I have also wanted,  I just have to remember to do certain things that are meant to be automatic.

1. Do not forget to shower
Being at the beach all day and then coming home tired at 11:00 pm really takes a toll on you, and doing it everyday will not be beneficial. I almost forgot to shower the last two days as disgusting as it sounds and wound up taking a shower at 11:00 pm.

2. Do not forget to eat
Having too much fun makes us live in the moment and just think about that moment. Somehow, a moment of joy makes us forget our physical state of being. I do not even realize that I am hungry until I take a bite of something.

3. Do not forgo laundry
I live in bikinis and pajamas during the summer, and I am not ashamed of it. However, because of my large amounts of bikinis and pajamas, I forgo laundry, which I should not do.

These are the top three things that I forget to do on a daily basis. It sounds weird, but I do.

My Bratty Personality

I am not going to stand here and say that I am not a bratty person. I am. However, those qualities do not show often and come out during some times. But, people usually do not say those things that I call bratty are actually not bratty. As the saying goes, no one sees everything correctly.

1. I will not eat something or finish something if I do not like it.
If I do not like something, I will not eat it. I feel horrible to say this statement because I know that people around the world do not have the food I have.

2. I will not wear something if I do not like it.
Again, I feel horrible because some people do not have things I have.

3. I am stubborn.

4. I have a more emotional appeal to things, and not intellectual.

With love,

Brandy Melville Update and End of School

I wished I did not have doubts about Brandy Melville's idea of one size fits most idea because I tried on a couple of Brandy shirts, and they fit perfectly. However, I did not buy the tops because I did not have enough money and because I went into Cotton On for the first time, and that is my explanation.

The best thing and most exciting thing if this school year is that Pacsun is selling Brandy items, since they only have locations in New York and L.A.

School is over for me.

Brandy Melville

Upon walking around California about a year ago, I was too afraid to walk into Brandy Melville, and was nonetheless hesitate to buy things from there. Now, knowing that Brandy Melville clothing has reached to a mall near me, I really want to try out their clothing.

Since it is a one size fits all type of deal, I am afraid that their clothing will not fit me.

I need your advice,

With love,

I feel uncomfortable

Whenever I feel uncomfortable, I tend to go away, just leave. It is not like I have butterflies in my stomach; it is more as if someone were to take a hold of the insides of my ribs and stretched them apart. That sensation does not hurt, but I do not feel like I belong. Most of the time, it is not out of  rudeness. I leave because I feel as though I do not belong.
