I have been meaning to write for a while now and every time I write my battery dies without saving my work...sigh...so lots to say...
I survived my torture week...midterms were satisfactory...
..I am really loving this quarter...it is getting hot and I just cannot wait until summer...summer in L.A. is the best....I can't wait...but now I really want to go to Hawaii again...it is so lovely there...but I also want to go to El Salvador...soooo bad!!!!!
so I broke down to my lovely paisa Marina the other day..I am so confused as to what I want in life...mostly religious wise...I finally decided that I wanted to be a pluralist...it is such a wonderful concept..I mean, come on, we are all different, we take different routes to get to the same place, so why not with religion?
I LOVE Christianity, Judaism, Muslim, and Buddhist ideology....
I have briefly studied each of these and I want to incorporate each of the parts that I like into my life...but then here's the dichotomy...is that just making my own religion? I do not strictly want to be tied down to a specific religion and its ideas, but then if I don't have that, what guides me? When I moved to Davis, I decided I was not going to find a church, because I always took pride in having a spiritual direct relationship with God and I decided that I would just develop it throughout this year...make myself stronger and less dependent on a church or establishment. However, I kind of got caught up in the appealing party lifestyle and I feel that I completely lack my spiritual behalf and I cannot seem to get it back...I just really want to learn about other religions, but I know that Christianity is what I was raised and it is what I will stay...I just hate the whole concepts of an exclusive religion and even more so the different denominations, I mean Nazarene, Baptist, etc...like, why do we need all of that? It's ridiculous!
I for one need guidance and there is only one person I know that I can give it to me the way I need it--my old church buddy danilo..he would completely know what to say...because he always said the right things, even when he thought he wasn't making any sense, he was impacting my life...I really miss sunday class with him...
so besides that, what have I been doing?
library, class, and absolutely nothing....
I have decided to take it very chill..
I have been getting really close to my suite-mates.
we go for sushi and we went to a luau, it was cute..
So if you are a faithful follower of my blogs, you know that I got my lip pierced and my parents were not too happy about it...they got over it, but now I am up for a great marketing internship in the town over where I will be living. This, of course, means that I will need to take my piercing out so I have decided to enjoy the last month with it..I put my ring back in...I am loving it...
I hate when people run their mouths when they have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. Politics, socially etc.
Sometimes people have special circumstances...
Being honest and then trying to justify it through a description of saying "I am brutally honest." I find it ignorant and lame.
LEARN about what you are talking about, THEN give your opinion...
also, I figured out that LIFE is NOT fair, but eff it, we just need to try to make the best of it....
if someone does a favor for you, the right thing to do is to do the favor back--not for your own interest, but because you feel it in your heart that it is the right thing to do....however, this is not the case of life..that is why capitalism was born and now rules the world...so what to do when you have a heart of gold but still want to succeed in life?
I have more to say but I will write another day with a better atmosphere...my dorm has a bunch of bad vibrations...
my recommendation for today??
The Doors with the lights off and as you are falling asleep!!
I have a phone interview in 10 hours for the internship...
wish me luck!!!
I'll leave you with some pics:
gasp!
:P
