I do not allow students to add me on Facebook. My rule is a student has to be out of high school for a year before I consider adding them. And even after that, I am particular about who I add. I ignored a current student’s friend request, and this was his response: b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-but its not even like that. you sayin that we cant be friends on facebook cuz we are not friends(hommies) in...

THE HEALTH WHISPERER: Guidelines and... →

thehealthwhisperer: I named the challenge “iPaleo” with the “i” = individualized… I am well aware that not one single food plan can work for everyone (e.g. how is the low-fat/ high-carb diets working??), nor do we all have the same amount of leisure time or funds for food. So here are my recommendations to help you…

Dear Manong Mark, Last Christmas, I called you, and you said you were on your way to Manang Hazel’s. You were just going to stop by in Vallejo then head to Danville. I remember waiting and waiting, and you never showed up. I remember the feeling then… I was so hurt and sad because I didn’t get to spend Christmas with you. It was really confusing to me because back when we...

Dear Manong Mark, Sorry I shared the fart story at your wake… for some reason that was the only one that came to mind… I wish I would’ve shared with everyone how I used to follow you all over the place and you never complained… or how you gave me a shoebox full of baseball cards so I could start my collection, and you weren’t even mad when I scratched your Will...

Warning Signs of Domestic Violence

The sad truth is that most women in violent situations believe that if they are not being physically hurt, they are not victims of abuse. Most women don’t realize they are in an abusive relationship; therefore, they will never seek out help to get out of their situation. Here are a few websites that describe the warning signs of an abusive relationship. The following were my favorites: ...

Still I Rise by Maya Angelou

You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I’ll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? ‘Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I’ll rise. Did you...

Guilt, Growing Up, and Genuine Healing: An...

A year ago today, I was sitting in Legally Blonde: the Musical with 14 of my closest friends and family celebrating my last few days of being single. Little did any of my girls know that I was silently questioning whether or not this was what I wanted. I was lost. I had a blog that I updated constantly, and because no one really read it, no one could see that I was slowly losing the...

Dealing with Not Being a Text or a Tweet Away...

July 2006—I’ll never forget the moment at the United Airline gate the day I boarded the plane to the Philippines alone. I was going to Mindanao, a place well known for kidnapping Americans*, and I was going at a time when fear of terrorism on planes was still extremely prevalent (while I was in the Philippines, they initiated the “No Liquids on Planes” rule.) I hugged...

Please help me live my dream!

It is one of my greatest wishes to see Erykah Badu in concert. The opportunity to see her on my trip of a lifetime to London has emerged, and I am asking for your help. In 1996, I didn’t go to the Erykah Badu concert @ the Memorial because a boy that I cared for and respected said it wasn’t going to be good. In an effort to impress him, I did not go. That boy ended up hurting me...

Throwbacks.

The next few posts are reposts from my locked blogspot that I wanted to share on my Tumblr. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9 This first one was my experience with a clairvoyant when I had a ghost haunting my house. Since Halloween, I’ve been spooked in my house. There’s been all kinds of strange things going on in my house: strange images appearing, aparitions in the corner of my eye, strange...

Time for Another Reflection

The beginning of the summer reminds me that I am coming up on the one year anniversary of my new life. As with all of my reflection blogs, I have had an epiphany about the human condition that I wish to share with all of you (all four of you who read my blogs). Here it goes… I have come to the conclusion that humans are incapable of living without deep, meaningful connections with other...

Transcribed from a late night freestyle. . .

Hold on. I’m in no way a poet or a rapper or whatever… I just happened to “write” this… it came to me at 3:17 am on Saturday, April 3… I recorded it on my phone. This is the unedited version. Straight from my phone. “This is called, ‘This is what he does to me’ This is what he does to me he makes me smile everytime i think of him ...

To Thine Ownself Be True

It’s been nearly 8 months since I decided to make the life changing decision to say goodbye to my old life, and start on something new and unknown. The most notable change is that the frequency of me having to tell “my story” has gone down significantly. I’ve run into maybe two or three people who still want to know, but I have come to a point in my life where “my...
