Sunday = Day to be Religious...

I find it increasingly more and more annoying that most people are only religious on Sundays. I find this to be true on FaceBook and in real life. I mean it's fine for you to post whatever you like on your own page, but you have to keep in mind that according to your religion, you are representing all that it stands for. So when an outsider sees this type of behavior, they are easily put off. It is my understanding that you should represent your faith at all times. My favorite line I hear all the time is "Well, at least I go to church". I don't think these people understand that the fact that they go to church and still do wrong makes them worse than the people that never go. If you have been to church and know all the rules, but you still disobey them, then what is the point.  I especially hate when people say "Today is the Lord's day". Newsflash, EVERY day is His day, not just Sunday. You can't do whatever you want Monday-Saturday, then become a super religious person on Sundays. It boils my blood and I know most people do it just to get likes on Facebook or to gain approval in real life.The same people that post these types of statuses are the same people who behave so unholy and wouldn't give anyone a helping hand. Very few people actually practice what they preach in regards to religion but they play the part very well. Ive actually been to church and would go all day long on Sundays, I went to Bible Study and Sunday school. I must say that I've encountered some of the meanest people I know within the walls of a church. I was very confused by this. I also have seen some of the holiest people on the streets and seen them do some very questionable things. If you can't fool God, then why try to fool me?

With all this being said, if you don't like what I said in this post, then you can un-friend me in the name of Jesus!

My Experience Giving Birth

 

When I went to the doctor on 1/31, I learned that I was 3 cm dilated. The news made me very nervous as I was told to be expecting him soon. I was also freaked out because I was given 3 different due dates and didn't know when he'd come. I spent the next few days doing chores and running errands in preparation for the baby.

February 5 was the first due date. I sat around anxiously awaiting the breaking of my water. Nothing happened and I began to feel more at ease. Everyone had expected the baby to come over the weekend and I was a bit relieved that he hadn't. That Monday I went to Walmart and did some shopping. My coworker called me and we chatted about the baby. I was getting comfortable with the idea that he might not come until the 15th, which was his third due date. 

February 8 was the second due date that he received. Sure enough at 1:45 am, my water broke. I was in denial because all I wanted to do was sleep. I called my boyfriend 4 times and he didn't answer. I called my dad and he didn't answer either. I kept thinking now that I'm finally ready to pop, no one is answering me. Finally my boyfriend called back, and we were soon on our way to the hospital. 

When I arrived at the hospital, it finally started sinking in that I was going to have a baby. I became more nervous and excited than ever before. After being asked a ton of questions, I was taken to a room. The nurse verified that my water was broken, and I was on my way to the labor and delivery floor. 

Much to my amazement, I was still 3 cm dilated. I thought that I would be more than that since it had been a week. They gave me a drug called Pitocin to help my contractions stronger. After a while, I had only dilated one more cm. 4 hours later, I had dilated to 6 cm. About 20 minutes after that, I got to 8 cm. I was so excited because I know that at 10 cm you start pushing. The excitement was dashed when i was still 8 cm dilated almost 4 hours later.  I was told that I would be needing to get a C-section. In between all this craziness, I started to feel my contractions because someone decided to turn off my epidural for no reason. I was in so much pain that I cried uncontrollably. 

 Once I reached the operating room, tears were streaming down my face because I was experiencing extreme pain. They gave me medicine to help, but it wasn't helping fast enough. I had to get several rounds before I wasn't able to feel anything. During the procedure I was terrified. I could feel the pressure of them moving things around in order to get him out. I was so happy that my boyfriend was right next to me. If he wasn't, I would have been a total wreck.

When they finally got him out, they cleaned him up, and brought him over so that I could see him and kiss him. The first time I saw him, I started to cry. I couldn't believe how beautiful he was. I couldn't believe I had helped create someone so precious. 

Once I was back in the room, I was pretty much out of it. My guests had left and I prepared to get some rest. They soon brought the baby in and I had to take care of him all night though I was in pain. I was glad to do it because I was just so glad that he was finally here. The next few nights I had to take care of him alone as well. It was definitely challenging. He didn't want to sleep in the crib so I was forced to allow him to sleep on my chest each night. He doesn't like to be changed, so every time I attempted to take his clothes off, he would scream as if I was murdering him. Those days were indeed memorable.

Though the experience was tough, I am so glad that he is finally here.He is the most precious thing I have ever laid my eyes on and I am so happy that he is mine :)

Whitney Houston Found Dead

 

Whitney Houston, 48, was found dead today. Cause of death is unknown at this time

Prop 8 Declared Unconstitutional...Woo Hoo!

The California gay marriage ban, known as proposition 8, has been declared unconstitutional.

I'm glad that the judges decided that the ban was unconstitutional. People should be able to freely marry no matter their sexuality. Heterosexual couples have been screwing up the sanctity of marriage for as long as marriage has existed, so I really don't see how it could be decided that homosexuals could ruin it.

Love Story: Yanet & Gerald

 Yanet & Gerald 

How long have you guys been together?

We have been together exactly 1 year and 2 days =) we were officially boyfriend and gf since 2/1/11 at midnight! 

Children?

We do not have children yet but soon!

How did you guys first meet?

We met over the phone because we worked for the same bank (BankUnited). We would talk on the phone from time to time and I used to love his voice over the phone, until one day the lady that worked with me left to another bank and he requested a transfer to work at my branch. He did know how I looked but I had no idea who he was until I met him. I was impressed by his elegance, impeccable look, and his smell drove me crazy.

First Impression

My first impression was surprised, I can still remember like it was yesterday when we first met. I saw him walking towards me, we were introduced first and I then gave him his cash drawer and his keys. I was a little nervous; he is very tall and charming. We became very close friends first, we would spend many hours working together next to each other, he helped me a lot to overcome problems with my previous relationship, he was there for me when no one else was.

Where did you go on your first date? How was it?

I do not remember where we went to a first date because since we worked together we would go to lunch from time to time, but one of our first dates was to the Sunset Place movie theater to watch Black Swan, he asked me out in Van Dykes and on our way there he gave me a gold key necklace with a purple heart stone (my favorite color) and the earrings. The purple heart symbolized his love for me and the key is the key to his heart.

What sets him apart from other guys?

My boyfriend is one of a kind; I do not know any other person that is as loving and caring as he is. I am his priority, his princess and he makes me feel like one. It was hard for me to believe in love again but he earned my absolute trust and love. More than anything, he is a gentleman, and there is no one day that passes by that I do not thank God for putting him on my way because he is my soulmate, my best friend, my lover, my future husband, my last romance.

What do you feel keeps your relationship strong?

I think what keeps our relationship strong is that we communicate, we tell each other everything. We are open to any topic of conversation. We trust each other 100%, we do not let anyone interfere in our relationship. We love each other so much that we spend as much time together as possible. He is simply my other half.

Any advice to people just starting out their relationship?

My best advice to couples starting out a relationship, is to have trust since the first day, if both decide to be in a serious relationship, then take the relationship seriously, based on MUTUAL respect, love, and honesty. In times of arguments, let some hours pass, and when both are more calm, then talk about the problem, look for solutions and move on, it will make the relationship stronger. In addition, do not let people from the past ruin your present and future. Avoid any contact or relationship with exes, only if children are involved, then keep contact to the minimum. Show your significant other that you love him everyday, and make sure you feel loved too because it takes 2 to tango =)

Love conquers all, we only live once, but if we spend our life with the right person and we live to the fullest, once is more than enough.

Volunteer Loses His life

Dave Bompart, affectionately known as Big Dave, lost his life on February 2, 2012. He had spent the last 2 years of his life helping the victim of Haiti's 2010 earthquake. He was deeply involved with the Project Medishare that is based out of Miami. His latest project involved helping to build an orphanage. Last week, he was shot and robbed on his way from the bank in Port-au-Prince. He was flown to Jackson Memorial Hospital and doctors worked feverishly to save his life. Sadly, he did not survive. Though he has passed on, his wife hopes to continue to help the community in Haiti because that is what he would have wanted.

His memorial service will be held on Feb 5, 2012 in Miami. He will be buried in Ohio.

This is one story that really struck a chord with me. He was just trying to help a country that needs so much and some brainless criminal decided to snuff the life out of him. This type of action makes others less willing to go help out in these countries. I'm very certain the money could have been taken without shooting him. Better yet, the person should not have robbed him at all. I feel so sorry for his wife because not only did she lose her husband, but someone in the hospital decided to steal her laptop. Hopefully others will not get discouraged and continue to give help to the people of Haiti.

Why I Hate Valentine's Day

First I want to say that I'm not some bitter, lonely, unloved chick that hates all things that are cheerful. I'm just not big on holidays and this is one holiday that especially irritates me. People sit around feeling all sad for themselves because they have no one to share a meaningless holiday with. Most people don't even love themselves and feel that they need another person to prove their worth. Not having a valentine is not the worst thing on earth, yet some people feel that it is. Is your happiness really dependent upon receiving chocolates, flowers, and cards? If that's what you base it on, then I actually feel sorry for you.

One of my main reasons for disliking this day is that some people say ValentiMe's day. Who the f*ck is valentime? Hmmm? Seriously, this is one of the most ridiculous holidays that exists. It's the one day out of the year where people are hard up to be with someone in order to give the appearance that they are loved. I mean do you really think there's some half naked angel looking thing lurking around shooting people with arrows in the attempt of hooking them up? Don't get me wrong, in the past it used to bother me. I used to expect whatever guy I was with to get me something and I would be highly disappointed if I didn't get anything or if I didn't get what I was expecting. Once you realize that it's just another day, you're able to cope with it better.It's a day for sorry boyfriends to try to prove their 'love' and for girls to act as if they are loved. When the day is over everyone goes back to their regularly scheduled programming of not giving a f*ck about the holiday until it rolls around again the following year.

My boyfriend and I don't celebrate Valentine's day at all.I've learned that it's about the type of relationship that we have all year long that makes a difference. I like that he goes out of his way for me everyday, not just the one day that Cupid tells him that he should do so.

So to those of you moping around, cheer up and actually do something to make yourself happy on Valentine's Day.
