Spit/gum on the sidewalk:
I hate it when people spit on the sidewalk. That is so damn disgusting. Hello, inconsiderate people! People walk on the sidewalks. The worst is when you don't see the spit and end up stepping on it. Yuck! I know I'm wearing shoes, but still. I don't want someone else's nasty germs on my things. Even worse than stepping on someone's spit is stepping on gum. It's the most annoying thing when you're walking and you get gum on your shoes. If you've ever stepped on gum, you know what I'm talking about. And then the gum leaves unattractive black spots all over the sidewalk. Why are people so lazy? Spit out your damn gum in a trash can or something. People caught spitting gum on the street or sidewalk should be punished with 10 hard smacks to the face with a paddle.
Leaving carts in parking spaces instead of putting them in their stalls:
Don't you hate it when you're looking for a parking space and you think you find an empty one but just as you are pulling in to that spot, there's a damn shopping cart right in the middle of it? How hard is it to put your shopping cart in the cart return? OK. I understand if the whole parking lot had just one cart return all the way at the other end of the lot. But this is very rare. Usually, there are plenty of cart return stalls all over the parking lot. Yet people are too damn lazy to return their cart there. You may say, "Why don't they make more cart return stalls then? Maybe that will solve our problem." It does not. There was this supermarket back in my hometown that provided its customers with plenty of cart return stalls. I'd like to say there was at least one cart return stall between every five parking spaces. So wherever you parked, you would have to walk no more than two parking spaces to return your shopping cart. Despite that, people would still leave their shopping carts everywhere, except, the designated stalls. No wonder why Americans are so fat!
Littering:
It irks me when I see people throwing trash out of their car window or just throwing trash on the street. Why don't they wait until they see a trash can to throw their trash away?Are you really that lazy and inconsiderate that you will just throw your trash wherever you please? People caught doing this should have their hands cuts off.
Honkers:
There are drivers that honk their horns at anything. And sometimes, you don't even know who the fuck they're honking at. Horns are used to maybe warn another driver if they're about to hit your car or get their attention when there's a green light to tell them to go. Horns should not be used if you are mad that someone cut you off because your selfish ass wouldn't let them into your lane or if a driver is too slow (to your standards) when you are in a rush. I mostly notice white people like to honk for the littlest things. Where did these people grow up? Where I grew up, if you honk at the wrong person, you might get yourself shot! No joke. My BF was a honker (he is also white). Not so much anymore since he has met me. He still has a bad habit of sometimes inappropriately honking and I want to smack him everytime he does it. I usually say something like, "I guess you're not scared to get shot, huh?"
So generally, I am annoyed by laziness, selfishness, and impatience. So if you're not one of those annoying people who do any of the things listed above, you are cool. But if you are one of those inconsiderate pricks, maybe you can look inside your heart or whatever you have there and consider changing your ways. Because really, these are very bad habits to have.

No one should be offended...ever!
So it seems that we're living in a society where no one should be offended by anything anymore. Yes, everyone is forced to be politically correct about everything, lest someone gets offended. Why is that? What is wrong with us? Of course someone is always going to find something offensive no matter what anyone does.
I bring this up because the other day, I read an article about how a mom sued a school district because of a father-daughter dance. You see, the particular school that her daughter attended had a long standing tradition of having an annual father-daughter dance as well as a mother-son baseball game. Well, since the woman is a single mother, her daughter did not have a dad to take her to the dance. Therefore, her daughter was unable to attend.
I just don't understand. If her daughter doesn't have a dad, why doesn't she take an uncle or brother or something? Or just not go. But don't ruin it for everyone else. There were times in school when I was unable to attend a school event for one reason or another. It didn't bother me that I could not go.
What are we gonna do next? Get rid of proms because there may be people who are too poor and cannot afford to go? Oh, I know! We should ban dances all together because there are people who are rhythmically challenged and cannot dance. We don't want them to be left out! It's not fair that women cannot play in the NFL. I demand it gone!
Why do we have to ruin it for everyone just because a few entitled individuals complain? Why must we try so hard to include everyone in all things? It's already bad enough that we tell kids that everyone is a winner to make them feel better about themselves. Sorry to tell you this kids, but it's not true. In this world, there are winners and losers and it's wrong for your parents to lie to you like that. Instead of lying to kids, we should tell them that anyone can be a winner as long as they work hard enough. And in order to stay a winner, you must continue to work hard to stay on top. This way, we don't raise a nation of lazy individuals who feel entitled.
I'm tired of all this political correctness. It seems like people are getting more and more sensitive about everything. We are slowly becoming a nation of wussies.
I think it's about time that everyone just chilled out and not take life so seriously. In life, there will always be someone that will be excluded from something. Sorry to say this but it's true. It's impossible to please everyone. So quit complaining and suck it up!

Breaking Bad. How will it end?
My boyfriend and I are big fans of Breaking Bad. Who isn't? One thing that's frustrating about the show is that it is unbelievably unpredictable. Just when you think the show is headed in one direction, it totally surprises you with something else. I'm truly impressed by the genius of the writers of this show. They are absolutely amazing.The show is down to its final season but the last episodes don't air until summer of 2013. Aaah! That's almost a year from now. Ugh! It's just torture having to wait that long. Anyway, my BF and I are trying to predict how the series is going to end.
Before the final episode of the first part of season five, I hated Walter and wanted him dead. But alas, the writers have a way of making you change your mind. Before the last episode of this season, here was my prediction for the end of the series:
Walter gets out of hand and still continues to produce meth, with his new partners as distributors. Since he now has a new protege, he no longer needs Jesse to help him produce meth. Since Walter wants to get rid of all of Mike's men in order to eliminate any possibilty of tracing anything back to him, he must also get rid of Jesse. Jesse finds out and yada yada yada...skip to the final scene. Jesse and Walter get into a confrontation. Remember season four when Jesse almost killed Walter because he thought Walter poisoned his girlfriend's son? Yeah, just like that. But this time, Walter is unable to talk his way out of it. Jesse says a few choice words. It's all emotional. Close-up of Jesse pulling the trigger. Fade to black...
Yes, Yes. I know it's a lame ending but for some reason, I like "fade to black" endings. No, not really. But that was all I could think of. haha. I think the "fade to black" scenario tends to happen when you can think of no other creative ways to end a show.
The final episode of season 5 part 1 totally ruined my prediction. I have no idea what's going to happen and now I'm rooting for Walter again. No matter what, I hope Jesse gets out of this unscathed.
Anyway, Breaking Bad is an awesome show with great writing, a wonderful and talented cast, and a unique and brilliant premise. If you're not watching it already, I suggest you start. Or at least wait until the end of the series so you can marathon it. :)

Ombre Hair?
A few weeks ago, my friends came to visit from out of town. I hadn't seen them for a few months and the first thing they noticed about me was my hair. It had grown so long and apparently, it was also in style. I really don't pay much attention to hair trends so I didn't understand what the trend was.
Apparently, this hairstyle called "ombre" is in and all the celebrities are wearing it. That's when you wear your hair dark at the roots and a lighter color closer to the tip. Here's a sample pic below:
In this picture, actress Jamie Chung is sporting ombre hair.
I was pretty shocked because I was thinking I looked all ghetto with my hair this way. You see, I had enjoyed maroon colored hair for about a year until I decided I wanted my natural hair color back, so I grew it out. The color treated parts eventually faded into a pleasant copper brown color. Earlier this year, I started getting compliments for my hair.
The first time someone complimented my hair, I actually thought they were mocking me or something. Some girl came up to me and told me she liked my hair. I swear, I wanted to kick her ass because I thought she was pulling a "mean girl" on me. haha. A few weeks later, I got a compliment from an acquaintance. I just gave a her confused look and told her she was crazy.
Can you believe that? I didn't even realize that it was the trend. And there I was, embarrassed about the way my hair looked. All the while, everyone else is trying to get the same style. And now that I think about it, the hairstyle is pretty cute, no? Alas! Now I can let my hair grow out without being ashamed of my cheapness. Yay!
This reminds me of the time in sixth grade when I had dug through my mom's old clothes and found some cute bell bottom pants. I decided to wear them to school one day, not really thinking anything of it. Well, one girl came up to me and said (referring to my bell bottoms), "this isn't the 60's." Or something to that extent.
Needless to say, I was embarrassed and did not wear them again. But you know what? A few months later, bell bottom jeans came into style and everyone started wearing them. WTF?! Why did I let that stupid girl shame me into not wearing my mom's bell bottoms again?
Moral of the story? Who cares about what anyone says or thinks about the things you do or say. Just do your thing and be yourself. Because you never know when what you're doing today becomes what everyone else is doing tomorrow.

Kids? No Thank You!
I'm at the age now where I SHOULD be having kids. At least that's what society, my mom, and my friends say. In fact, I don't even get the "When are you going to get married?" questions anymore. I get the "When are you going to have kids?" questions. Umm... I'm not even married! I'm quite traditional and wish marry BEFORE I have children. But since I don't believe in changing my last name after marriage, I doubt any guy would want to marry me. Therefore, I will not have kids. :)
It's odd but it seems that the older I get, the less I want children. Shouldn't it be the other way around? My biological clock seems to be confused or something. For one, I think I am still too young to have children. I'm not even thirty! Practically all of my friends have children. Most have at least two or three. My mom already had all four of us by the time she was my age.You would think this would pressure me into having them. On the contrary, this makes me want to have kids even less.
Honestly, parenting seems like an everlasting pain in the butt. I see my friends with their children and I am quite repulsed by them. Firstly, you lose all of your freedom when you have kids. When, they are young, you can't just go out and do whatever you want on a whim. You have to make sure you have a babysitter or someone reliable to watch them and plan everything ahead of time. No room for spontaneity. How sucky is that? I just love my life too much right now and I'm not ready to give it up. If I want to go on a long vacation, I can. A lot of the time, we can't do group vacation trips because my friends don't have babysitters. Yuck!
When you become a parent, your needs are no longer important. Your life is dedicated to fulfilling the needs of your child now. You will spend the rest of your life hoping your child makes the right choices. You also have to put up with their annoying rebellious stage, while telling yourself the stretch marks, sagging breasts and unflattering figure were all worth it for these ungrateful little twerps.
I'm not ready to give up my life just yet and I'm not sure if I ever will be. I really don't have time to worry about other people when I'm too busy taking care of myself.
I know plenty of people who became parents at a very young age, yet refuse to grow up. Grandma and grandpa ends up raising the grandkids while mom and dad party and do all the young people stuff. Isn't that selfish? I'm sorry, but once you have kids, no matter the age, it's time to grow up. Your life is over. No one forced you to have them. Also, some couples decide have babies, hoping it would fix their ailing relationship. Isn't that selfish too? Children should not be used as therapy for couples to help solve their conflicts.
I used to think that I was such a selfish person for not wanting kids because I still care about myself too much. But now that I think about it, I'm actually not selfish at all. People who decide to become parents when they are not ready, are actually the selfish ones. At least I have the sense to wait until I am ready (if that time ever comes).
