i'm considering hiring a bodyguard...

job requirements:
- looks intimidating
- marital arts training
- passed body guarding school
job description and specifications: a well built male to accompany my sister and i on walks to and from places. your presence should discourage the people driving by from hitting on us, etc... and also to act as protection (beat them down!) if they try to kidnap us or something.
pay: we'll discus it. bonuses for beating up bad guys! :D
apply today!

you know you need a body guard if you can't go walking in your own neighborhood without getting hit on. and when people are driving by screaming "HEY!! how much?! how much for both your sweet-- [the rest of this sentence is censored]?!!?!" you kinda get a little scared. i know i talk about these things a lot, but it happens too often, and all i have to say is that i'm very disgusted with guys these days. i don't think i'm asking for it either! i was fully clothed and coverd (thanks to cold weather) and had minimal makeup on today.

guys are just lame.

subarashii!! watashi nekkyo!!

You Should Learn Japanese

You're cutting edge, and you are ready to delve into wacky Japanese culture. From Engrish to eating contests, you're born to be a crazy gaijin. Saiko!

What Language Should You Learn?

um... cool?

You Have Your PhD in Men

You understand men almost better than anyone. You accept that guys are very different, and you read signals well. Work what you know about men, and your relationships will be blissful.

How Well Do You Understand Men?

i have to tell on myself

...for almost completely forgetting about a certain well known, all-american holiday commonly known as thanksgiving. till wednesday afternoon when my lil sis said something about making cookies 'for tomorrow' and i'm just like "what the heck for?" to which she proceeded to drop a couple verbal anvils on my head... X_x so apparently yesterday was thanksgiving...but i think you already knew that.

and now all of a sudden i'm freaking out because there is CHRISTMAS MUSIC playing on my radio?! XDDD why am i still mentally back in like..april? maybe it's the weather? maybe it's just me? someone help me!!!

oh but i had a good thanksgiving! did lots of cooking and lots of eating. first year i actually enjoyed the turkey *gasp* cause of this great stuff called cranberry horseradish sauce something-or-other... turkey is so disgustingly bland otherwise (bleh). everything else was delicious as well (in fact, i might actually eat the left overs this year! omg, lol) ^__^ the rest of the day was pretty good too... we watched a movie, then went to a friend's house and played a few extreme rounds of jenga over some sodas, then went home and watched another movie. the end!

ever feel like the holidays just kinda sneak up on you?
or rather, the holiday spirit...

ta ha, i crack me up! XD (and yes, i made this comic... i know, i'm lame ^-^)

the song that will forever be playing in my head

Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka...The Amazing Chocolatier.Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka...Everybody give a cheer!
He's modest, clever, and so smart,He can barely restrain it.With so much generosity, There is no way to contain it...To contain...to contain...to contain...to contain.
Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka...He's the one that you're about to meet.Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka...He's a genius who just can't be beat.The magician and the chocolate wiz...The best darn guy who ever lived.Willy Wonka here he is!

it's rather catchy...

and this picture rocks my socks!

i wish i drew it...*sigh*

okay now go read my other post and comment on that one! ^_^

yippy skippy!

well folks, today is me mum's birthday. sooo everyone needs to tackle-hug her when then see her and wish her many happy returns of the day (but you didn't hear that from me ^_~)

so in honor of the day, the family went to pat and oscar's for lunch... yummers! i think i'm starting to like dr. pepper again =3 ...but mostly cuz they didn't have rootbeer (those LAME'O's!) anyway, good stuff that pat and oscar's... over priced, but good.
then we went to home depot (you know you're jealous, don't deny it.) apparently it's like going disneyland for your birthday or something? and all of RB wanted to come to home depot to celebrate with us...? or saturday is home repair day. (probably the later...but you never know?) and all i have to say about that is AND I QUOTE! "watch out for those home depot guys!" OY! i swear i can't take my sister anywhere with her hair down!! long blond hair is like a flashing sign that says "hit on me!" ...so my sister and i are walking (gosh we do that a lot huh?) and this friendly older mexican(?) man working there says hi, asks us how we're doing, if we're finding everything okay, blah blah. yeah that's cool, fine whatever, you're doing your job...walking away now. BUT WAIT, now you're following us through the store talking to us? and my sis was wearing her jamaica (come by and say hi) shirt, so he asks her if there "are any jamaican songs he should know", she says no, he's all like "aw c'mon, try me!" asking her to sing a bob marley song for him. so by now both our faces are bright red; her from embarrassment and me from trying not to laugh. after we finally convinced him that he really didn't want her to sing for him he's all like "this your sister? she's cute. watch out for those home depot guys, they're [something about being big flirts]." haha, thanks ^^; okay then *walking away as fast as we can without running*
so that was my random advice from a complete stranger for the day... "watch out for those home depot guys." especially the old mexican ones.
did some other shopping elsewhere... and now we're home safe and sound. no crazy mexicans. ^_^ whew!

and that's all for now! hopefully nothing else interesting happens today...otherwise i'll have to make another post. haha

cheers!

eating skittles in the dentist office

and other stupid things to do on thursdays!! ^__^

(otherwise titled: something almost worth writing about~ yay!)

yes, yes, almost... had a fun day out on the town with my sister. hehe. first i went with my sister to the dentist this morning - cause my parents had places to be. so i got to play mom and sit in the waiting room of the dentist office and wait for her. (XD the drilling!! *cringes*) heh, fun people watching though... moms with screaming kids, old people, anxious moms waiting, those awkward teenagers going in to get their braces tightened.
lots of old magazines.... i only made it through one...and i tried drawing something out of it, but it didn't take very long for my sister to be done with her cleaning, so i couldn't finish. oh well... here it is... but it sucks. (ARRG!!! WHY DO YOU LOOK ASIAN?! *cries*)

oh and btw JW, if you happen to read this... happy wisdom teeth pulling! hope it goes good!! ^_^ enjoy all the ice cream and stuff! (notice all the happy colors - just for you :)

anywho, after that my sis and i walked around the lovely town of RB - home of the elderly and the older... basically a retirement area, with nothing fun to do unless you're over 50. there are like 5 million hair cutting places and even more dentist offices and places like that, everything else is food places. so we walked around, checked out a few random stores, explored, ate lunch at jack in the box, more random stores, got ice cream, walked to the library, then walked home. lonnng walk.
and this one stretch of road from taco bell to the library, people always yell out their car windows at us. i don't understand why they feel like they have to, but every time, it never fails! are my shoelaces untied? something on my face? why are you yelling at me? and it's impossible to understand what they are saying most of the time cause they're driving so fast... so it's like "HASUBLUGINSHLARGERRrahh!!!!" *HONK HONK* i swear today someone said my name... but i don't know any guys who drive red sports cars (darn)...so i don't really think it was my name. but hey, if it was you, let me know!

okay, that's all for now ^_^
love and kisses <3
~mel

love and peace!

don't you just hate the bible?

no, i don't actually hate it. that was just to get your attention. but really, this is just one of those verses that i love to hate...and hate..with love...and well yeah. read on.

Do all things without complaining or disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world.

Philipians 2:14-15

ouchie ouch ouch ouch OUCH!! i was just going to post the verse on it's own, but i have stuff to say, so listen up people.

i don't know if i'm the only one who has noticed this, but we sure do a lot of complaining don't we? after all, that's what we got these blogs for, right? but really...according to this verse, is that really okay? ...think about it along the lines of romans 12:2, especially the part about being "without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation"... this is serious stuff.

i'm not trying to preach at you or anything, this is just something i've been trying to work on with myself lately. less complaining - which should eventually become no complaining (realistically speaking), which is why i memorized this verse. and i encourage you to memorize it as well. seriously, it can change your whole outlook on things (give you a more positive outlook). so don't yell at me for preachin or even think about those pastor's daughter comments... just read the verse again and chew on it for a while.

some food for thought if you will...

bon apatite!

hmm.... random day...

yeah, so guess what? i just wrote one of the most personal, thoughtful, deep, inspirational (well maybe not), long, intellectually stimulating, (and have i mentioned deep?) blog entries i've ever written in my entire life! (you guys would have even had a peek into my own personal thoughts and everything!) the tell all entry! the one blog entry TO RULE THEM ALL!!! *lighting flashes off in the distance* -- but i got disconnected from the internet and it was lost forever, along with my train of thought. so yeah, SORRY!( i'm just as upset as you are, really) oh well, guess you'll have to settle for the normal "what i did ______" entry ^_^ yippie for you!

soooo, what i did this weekend...(starting saturday cause friday wasn't all that exciting that i remember?) so i'll just hit the high points:

saturday:

*went and saw chicken little ...yeah yeah, looked like a lame kids movie - but back off until you've seen it okay! and don't expect anything when you go (yeah, you have to go see it). it is sooo freakin hilarious! fish, haha, awesome ^_^ i absolutely loved it, and you should to! T_T (yes you, with the face...and the hair)

*went on a little "shopping spree" (not really, i had 50$ of birthday/graduation money that was burning a hole in my wallet/pocket/birthday card) but yeah. i ruined my fav shoes via the marshmallow wars (see previous entries). sooo, i just HAD to buy some new shoes ; ) lol. so i got me some pink and brown chucks...on sale! yay! annnd i had money left over still (you do the math :D) so i got a super cool squier/fender t-shirt thingie...lol, which makes me look like a total poser really... cause i don't even own a fender guitar *wishes* in fact most people don't even know i play guitar so they look at me all funny and stuff. but yeah anyway...that was my little shopping spree (so exciting, i know ^_^)

*walked to prayer meeting...la de da (i guess that isn't really a "high point"...but it's good cause i got exercise! and that means that my mom can't yell at me for doing "nothing" all day (HA!) and tell me my muscles are going to atrophy (look it up) from sitting around on the computer (at the computer?) and drawing and stuff so much (so HA HA HA!! ^__^) *dances*

sunday:

*learned that apparently i'm not supposed to be "laid back" T_T;; (not really a high point either), but i'm saying it because if you'll go have a look-see at my last entry.... well yeah. what the heck people?! just ruin my life why don't you! gosh!! .....anyway, moving on

*drove (me driving) through my first drive thru. yaaay! ^__^ taco bell (cause it was quick and easy cause we were in a hurry.... why are we always in a hurry?!?!!! grrr) hopefully i'll have my licence by the beginning of next year. w00t!

*home again.....blah... story of my life...


(i feel like i'm forgetting something.........oh well)
that's it for now
cheers! <3

what my handwriting says about me

...according to "ItchyTrigger" and Quizilla.com

Laid Back---Your handwriting seems to be more
flowing and graceful. This means that you are
pretty laid back and carefree most of the time.
The fact that your handwriting can be so
quickly written and sometimes messy is not a
bad thing, because it means that you want to
hurry and do what you are doing to get one with
the better things in life. You are liked by
most, and any enemies you may have are caused
by jelousy towards you of people who envy your
happy-go-lucky outlook on life.

Oh yeah and that picture doesnt have anything to do
with you, I just couldnt find a good one.
Sorry.
