Me: “It hasn’t happened fully, but I feel it coming on.”
BFF: “So…You know what you need to do then, right?”
Me: “Yeaah.”
BFF: “Hit him hard and hit him where it hurts!”
And this is why my best friend is the jelly to my peanut butter, The snackwrap to my milkshake and the tostones to my porkchop. <3

A thought i had on October 23rd.
We take things for granted but if we stop to think about what we have instead of what we don’t, we’ll see that we’re more blessed than what we deserve. We’re dirt yet God loves us regardless. He doesn’t need us. He wants us. Shouldn’t that be enough? Why turn our backs on The One who will never leave our side?

I’m tired of living a passive life and it’s about time I get up and do something about it, literally.
I over think everything and dont do enough. I dont even feel like going into detail about anything, so I guess this post if pointless. I just hope I will be able to post tomorrow night with the first of daily updates (I hope I can stick with it this time) and post some good news.

Click on the links for the verses.Read the whole chapter of Revelation in the Bible.
I just watched the movie Knowing and let me tell you, I had no idea where they were getting at until mid-movie or so. We just thought it was some suspense movie with numbers when in reality it’s just another movie trying to mess with peoples head.
In my opinion the creators of the movie tried to make it seem that what is to come is completely different than what it really is. They made the rapture seem as if instead of Jesus coming for the chosen few that chose to follow Him, that some aliens will come for the ones who were called.
Instead of the people who will be left behind being able to chose whether to be marked and be condemned or to be tortured and have a second chance at Heaven; everyone in the movie who is left behind dies. Death will not be so simple when the time comes. It’ll be complete torture and death will run from you.
Glory to God. This movie really is sad. It’s sad how some people can actually believe this. When the time comes everyone will know the truth and that Jesus is the only way.
Towards the end of the movie when the children are holding the bunnies I was really looking to see if they had the mark of the beast on them. I didnt find it watching the movie so they excluded that as well.
Revelation 13:16-18
16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or[a] the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.
Revelation 14:9-11
9 Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.
Before the movie ends the children are walking towards the tree that I am sure is intended to be the tree of life. Do they not know that the tree of life cannot be reached unless with Jesus?
Revelations 22:12-14
12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”[f]
14 Blessed are those who do His commandments,[g] that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.
I’m going to praise my God and follow His ways and when the time comes for all to end and even more destruction and chaos comes… I’m going to go home. I’m going to Heaven. Dont be left behind. Jesus is the only way.
One of my favorite coritos.
Como Las Aguas Del Rio
Como las aguas del rio, cuando llegan a la mar. 2x Asi llego la gloria de Dios a mi corazon. 2x
Ahora si libre soy, ahora si, salvo soy, ahora siento el poder de la presencia de Dios. 2x
Like The River Waters
Like the river waters when they reach the sea. 2x That’s how the glory of God came into my life. 2x
Now I am truly free, now I am truly saved, now I feel the power of the presence of God. 2x

What. The. Flippin’. Pancakes. Is. Going. On. ?
Hello people! I have not updated on YouTube because I have been too lazy to make a video with my camcorder. My web cam is very slooow at the moment because I constantly have five Firefox windows open with lots and lots of tabs on each which causes some programs in my laptop to run slower. - @edythemighty pointed out the other day that there is such a thing as bookmarking and I should consider it. haha. Not sure why I don’t just do that - but I haven’t anyhow.
Update: I have yet to really weigh in because I’m a chicken. I know I have not worked out but i’s not too much of a big deal because I have always lost weight with little to no exercise (no excuse - I know.)
I just haven’t been drinking much water but it’s crazy to think that the lack of my water intake is causing bloating. I like to tell myself I’m retaining water and once I get some in I’ll drop the pounds fast - others might just call that wishful thinking.
Not that anyone wants to know my ‘potty time’ business but I usually do not pee (feels weird writing that - haha) unless I drink six to eight cups of water. Days that I drink less than that I usually only pee once. Since I haven’t been drinking much of anything I am hoping its just bloating. I highly doubt I have gained 10lbs of fat without overeating. (There I go trying to convince myself again)
I wont sit here and say what my plan is because I never do it anyways. I’ll just figure it out and weigh in Monday. Then, I will kick my butt and get to working out and drinking my water asap. I refuse to be this weight by end of Summer. I must be at goal (over 125lbs away) by next summer.
Day 160
Day 171

Hello! I do not want to make this too long so I will just get right to the point. I need a Beta Reader(s). I have been wanting to start writing for years and never got around to it until now. Five years later and I am finally inspired to do so.
I am starting with Fan fiction, Twilight Fan fiction to be exact. I have many ideas and cannot wait to start.
Anyways, I need a beta reader. I need a few of them actually. I am hoping to have two or three. My friend Cruz Maria volunteered to help me and I am so grateful. I would love if others would help me as well.
You do not have to help min every single chapter or every story; any little bit helps me and I would truly appreciate it.
You do not necessarily have to be a fan of Twilight. It would be cool if you are but if not that is fine because my plots are different. I basically need help with making sure my work is well written, grammar, maybe even have someone to help me with ideas or questions I might have, help with the flow, past & present tense are used correctly, etc. This is why I think it will be awesome to have more than one beta reader.
I do not have much to offer you for your help but I will mention you on my YouTube, Facebook and MySpace, post your link (any website you might have) on both of my blogs, and of course mention you as my Beta when I post the chapters.

I haven’t updated on YouTube recently.. I will tomorrow and weigh ins will be on Sundays instead of Mondays.
I haven’t been doing so great weight loss related. This past week or two have been - how can I say this? - wasted, useless, gone to cr.. no let me not go there. I just haven’t done what I should. I am to blame for not working out and basically drinking almost nothing these past two weeks.
Though I want to rant about something. HOW, How in the world can I be 309.2 one day and the very next day I jump to 325?? I have no idea. Even if I would’ve shoved cheesecake in my mouth and drank gallons of soda all day - it’s impossible, right? This past week and a half the scale has basically said
309 - 325 - 320 - 322 - 327 - 311 - 315 - 322
Come on?? Should I blame it on water retention? At least a little bit? I admit.. I drank a milkshake from Wendys on Thursday. I even ate some chocolate.. mmm Hersheys milk chocolate, but 15lbs worth in one day? never.
I have decided to take this seriously from now on. I’ve been a bit passive because I seem to lose weight just by drinking water regardless of what I eat but I’m not going to wait and see any longer. ugh.
Starting today I am starting SERIOUS weekly goals. I always say this. How do I expect to do it this time? With help from you guys of course!
I plan on updating every night whether through a youtube video or here. I must. That way I’ll know that I will have to check in with you guys.
I planned on doing that two weeks ago but when I “gained” 16lbs in one day I freaked and just have been M.I.A (missing in action) but not anymore.
The plan you ask?:
I’ll update with how I did tonight!
Since I haven’t updated here recently.. here goes a few ‘countdown’ pictures
