Sweet Escapes

So the month of November will be a great one. Why? Because i will make it that way. To start off this month, I saw Chin and it was great. Nothing like being in over 75 degree weather and spending quality time with a genuine person. We went to Hardrock Cafe and visited Ft. Lauderdale beach and finally I got to eat my lobster dipped in butter sauce.
Fifteenth street fisheries is the shit!


Steak with Yuca (Cuban Style) and Lobster with Rice Pilaf

The weekend was great. These little escapes do help the mind and soul and even prepare me for this cold coming soon.



For the first time, I'm actually excited for the holidays. My sisters and I will be planning something fun for the family and this will certainly be available...nothing like good old rum punch to warm you up!

With that said, right now I will be focusing on school and my health. This past month I've gotten way too sick and alot of unexpected things came up that have temporarily set me back.
Things happen for a reason and ill take each challenge as they come.

So, like I said in the last post, I'm working on my fitness and making sure I get an A in my class so that I can finally head towards my career path and stop taking bullshit jobs. In this past month, I've resolved to reach my potential and receive/give nothing but the best in my personal and social life.

New Season for Breathing

So after reading previous blogs and taking my sister's advice, I've decided to take a happier approach to the daily's events in my life.

Life is too short and in the past 8 months, I've realized how nothing gets accomplished with stress and negativity.

This week has been a better one. With all that has been going on in my life, I've decided to go back to the gym and lose these 10 pounds that follow me everywhere I go. Amazing how going to the gym for two days have livened my soul and given me optimism.
I've also decided to meditate and pray more. Taking deeper breaths and living for the moment.
School has been going great so far. Like any other science class, microbio is tough but i got it.
On another note, I am also considering becoming a vegetarian again...or at least doing it the right way. I wanna see if what the vegetarians say is true about losing weight and becoming more in-tune with myself.


While some things may take time to accomplish, along with some serious dedication, I'll just keep at it. After all, I have a lot to be thankful for: my family, my man, my goddaughter, and being alive to experience it all.

SPIT at the SKY, itll fall in your EYE ...(not just a reggae song)

Its funny how things work out in the end. Usually we plan ahead but sometimes the planning wasnt necessary because it wasnt headed in that direction in the first place. We want control or try to exhibit it but sometimes its not even called for. Maybe living day by day is sufficient.

All I know is that after being alive for 24 years, theres nothing like KARMA. Like you nonbelievers, I was just like you but then i went to college.

They do say, never to spit at the sky because itll always come back down. I think everyone should live by these words, if not, humble yourself for all the intentional wrong you may have done in the past, present, or are thinking about doing in the future. Its quite simple, and im not being judgemental...its just the way things work. If not by karmic ideology then by some other deep or catchy phrase.

Why do I say this? Because im sick of ppl asking for some sort of treatment because they deserve it. Bullshit, because im pretty sure when you're doing something ill, you're not thinking of the wellbeing of another but instead of yourself.

So all in all, this isnt an angry blog. Just asking everyone to check themselves because what goes around ALWAYS comes around. And usually, im pretty good at calling it. (Ask Nav)
Have a great day!

:)

Just saying Fuck You as a Thank You

I want to take the time to tell all those shitty employers to go F- yourselves if you have done the following:

1. never said thank you for the work your employees have produced

2. provided ZERO benefits (and to think, getting sick wasnt a good enough excuse)

3. think you're GODs gift to the world because you've provided employment (with zero benefits!)

4. interrupted your employee during lunch time for some tedious task you know could have done

5. paid the minimum even though you know your employee has a degree(s)

6. never provided an offer letter because your employee asked for a higher amount of pay and you know if you have a letter you're bound to pay that amount

7. said that in a couple months a raise was possible but would "wait and see," when in actuality a "wait and see" is "no but ill keep paying you as low as possible until you decide to complain"

8. made your employee go to work in the snow (knowing well the roads are not clear and this is PG county) or other uncontrollable circumstances

9. want your employee to work overtime but you dont want to pay for it and complain if your employee doesn't

10. if you think the reason your employee doesnt come to work because you think everyday is happy hour so they must have gotten drunk last nite

11. g-forbid your employee takes their entire lunch because according to you, they can wait another hour to eat or just need 15-20 minutes to swallow an entire meal

12.g-forbid your employee takes a day off ( i mean it matters because they are paid by the hour so you lose money)

13. you like to gossip about former employees

14. if you kept your employees extra long before any major holiday....ie CHRISTMAS EVE OR NEW YEARS EVE, i mean, your employees dont have families or things to do outside of work

15. if you know you did all the above AND still think you deserve an award for being an understanding boss

.......... FUCK YOU !

But really thank you! :)
I'm pretty sure anyone whose been through any of this knows what a real employer should offer.
