FL Youth Ranch !!!

Image
Hey, my loyal bloggers… it has been a while since I have had the privilege of blogging. Today I come to you with new updates and I will share with you all a new organization I have discovered. So, let’s begin… last week I was honored to have been invited to the annual thanksgiving banquet for the Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranch organization in Safety Harbor. I have never been in this part of the Tampa Bay area before, so the notion of just getting to visit the area was exciting in it of itself- add free food and man it’s a party! Major Lol. I was invited by no other than a top employee of the association, so I also got an Uber tour when we arrived at the camp. They have a full outdoors basketball court and playground areas for the kids/youth who reside there with the caregivers. There are several homes in this camp, each home hosts up to 10 kids, with a set of caregivers (fulfilling the role of mother and father). They have other buildings assigned for the chapel and dinning area....

Domestic Violence

Image
     Make-up helps cover some bruises but believe me nothing covers up the pain of being the victim of verbal and physical abuse. I had a great childhood and most people would disagree with me because of my accident at age three; however, I was the one living my childhood and I enjoyed every part of it. Yes, there was physical pain from surgeries and treatments, but apart from that I was loved and taken good care of as a child. I had lots of barbies and girl toys and I had lots of play-time.     I was a very innocent child back in the day and with time I matured and my innocence washed away layers by layers. I remember crying with my mom as she sobbed from her wounds that my FATHER biological father gave her. I didn't understand the concept of domestic violence at that time and moment, but I did my best to comfort her and try to protect her as well. I came to realize the horror of what my father did to my mom around the age of 9-ish definitely when I was 11 ...

Family Planning

Image
      I love to think about the future, because it makes me happy. I think about it all, how I will be in 5 years from now, and I want to achieve as much of it as possible. I have thought about how many kids I want to have since I was in middle school. I want to be a mother to four beautiful children. I don't know how many I can pop out of my body (not literally but you know what I mean) but I also want to adopt. I even hope to be able to be a foster parent.        I have a rational reason to why I want four kids. A single child is bound to be a spoiled brat; 2 kids if they're the opposite sex like a sister and a brother will not have that sister or brother to really bond with about girls or boys things; 3 kids will mean either the brother or sister will not have another brother or sister to have that same sex bond; so 4 hopefully 2 girls and 2 boys will leave each siblings with a same sex partner that they can relate to on all levels.   ...

Babysitting/ Babysitter

Image
     Oh baby baby, how was I suppose to know .... hit me baby one more time. Oh oops, my bad not that kind of baby. Major Lol. I meant like an infant baby. I had the privilege to be raise by my angel aka mommy till I was school age. I did got to daycare for a couple of weeks once, but my mom ended up taking care of me again. I also, went to after school program - that's like a babysitter- during my first years in elementary school.        My dad took care of me for about 2 years all on his own. He literally paid for like maybe 6 different babysitter for me and in the end he just gave up and left me at home after he picked me up from school. Out of those different babysitters, I did have my favs!!! For example, this one lady was I believe Colombian as well, she would cook me real breakfast with everything: toasted buttered bread, hot chocolate, eggs, and maybe ham or bacon. She was a great cook, and she never missed a meal. I was eating so good, but...

Prizes!!!

    Hola my peeps!!!    I want to talk and share a little bit more of my amazing life. I have been a student since I was 5 years old, and at the age of 28 - I am still a student (college student).     Ironically, I remember I hated school as a kid because I was bullied by the kids since I was a burn survivor and English was my second language, so academics was a real struggle for me. After 2nd grade, I had a 360 degree change in attitude and perception of school. My angel aka my mommy, grew up in the rural area with barely any education; therefore, she was obligated to become a housekeeper since she was only 12 years old. Her whole life depended on people allowing her to be their stay at home maid.      My angel instilled in me and my siblings, that education was the only way out of poverty and out of living a miserable lifestyle. A life filled with abuse and humiliation by the employers and men she dated. So, as I began to matur...

Ke-Ke Challenge !!!!

Image
       Challenge this Keke, what is round without a center and no base and it shines? .... it's okay take your precious time.... okay that's good enough, the answer is .... drum roll  please...... a RING ...  Yes, a ring is round without a base or a center and it shines if it is gold or silver. It's an old guessing question my mommy once asked me and I was like whatttt. She phrased it differently in Spanish but still.       Anyways, about the real challenge I have to say it it blank STUPID & dangerous people getting out of the cars to start dancing to that song. They act like it's the chiit but it's not at all. I would never join this challenge or most challenges to be honest, because they are lame as hell. I mean there is so much to be done in this world that is productive and we actually need, yet people choose to waste their time trying to go viral. It's so sad what social media has done to some people. But not me honey, I st...

Foster Care

Image
   I can say that I have been adopted by the Puerto Rican culture since I was 11 years old. My foster parents were from Puerto Rico and I stayed with them for a whole year.      They were nice people who taught me a lot about Puerto Ricans and the foster system. There were 3 other kids staying at the same home, so we had a full-house. I was fortunate enough to be able to stay alongside my brother. There was a teenage girl who also lived there and became a sister to me. She made my stay there ten times better- although she was going through her immature and wild years she was very helpful and was a big sister to me.      I visited my angel aka my mommy every two weeks in the beginning and later on it was increased to once every week for 2 hours. The first few visits were monitored and slowly progressed from one hour to two hours without direct supervision. The hardest part was watching my baby brother who was only three years old start crying ...

Dating???

Image
     Swipe left, swipe right, how many likes do I have? How many requests do I have? All these questions are the typical ones popping up when you're an online dating site. I started online dating when I was 24 years old, but I started chatting with strangers online when I was 19. I admit the excitement of the popularity gets to you, but in the end it leaves you brokenhearted.         I was on Tagged, Match.com, Tinder, MeetMe, KIK, OKCupid, Badoo, POF, and maybe a few more which I can't recall at the moment. I regret it all from start to end. All the men I spoke to via messages was just a utter disappointment. They were all there seeking only free samples and desserts. I caved in with the 1st one promising me the boyfriend experience- it ended after a month. They always lured me in with compliments and fake promises about wanting to get serious with me and discussing marriage and such. I was so naive and stupid, looking back on it I wish I cou...

Divorced Parenthood

Image
         I knew the minute it took place, it wasn't gonna last. It may seem wrong in my part to automatically assume my parents marriage would fail, but I knew them. It happened in my birthday month & week I think, so this made it even worse to deal with because they said it was a birthday present - worst present ever. I was only 6 or 7 years old when my parents got married, and I didn't want them to get married because I knew my father didn't love my mother.                 After about three years of failed marriage, my father filed for divorce while my mother was living in Colombia and he was residing in the states - they got married in Galveston, Texas. My mother was taken back and she was extremely mad that he didn't even consult her about it. She signed it right away and knew it was the right choice. I now look back, and realize my brother wasn't even part of the divorce papers because my father hadn't a...

Under the Knife

Image
    Hola peeps !!!     I know you know there is only one way under the knife and that's through anesthesia. Correct!! ding ding     I have had over 60 surgeries in my lifetime and probably will acquire more as I do need a little skin relief. Plus, if I am fortunate to become a mother I might need a C-section too. I want to give  brief glimpse into my own personal experience.      I was usually admitted 8 days before surgery and had a hospital vacay back in the good old days when Shriners allowed for such things. I would have to bathe in the iodine red chemical that came in the form of a sponge and not allowed to consume food pass 12 a.m.        I was given some sleeping medicine even before the actual anesthesia to drowse me up I guess. Afterwards, once inside the OR (operating room) they put on all the cords and cables to monitor my vital signs. Then they administer the IV and finally put me under ...

Burn Care 101

Image
   Bonjour mon amies!!!!     I am a burn survivor of over 25 years and I love being able to be an advocate for the voiceless. I understand what it means to be a trauma patient and to be hospitalized for weeks on end. I have been in the OR more times than I can remember and been through physical therapy, outpatient clinics, inpatient consultations, etc. Throughout the years I have acquired knowledge on burn care.        Many people take one glance my way and automatically give me the pitiful look. I hate it more than words could express. I understand my complexion is the absolute opposite from the norm.  "In 2004, nearly 11 million people worldwide were burned severely enough to require  medical attention" - from the website : http://www.who.int/en/news-room /fact-sheets/detail/burns 6.4 billion people were alive in 2004, if we average of the percentage it is estimated to 0.17% of the population were actually burnt t...

Urban Geography

Image
Oh to the Em to the Gee!!! It's so beautiful, truly a master piece via my digital skills. Major Lol.     Anyways, I want to start introducing new topics of discussion starting today. I am an educated individual and I want to share my paid knowledge to you for free. To be honest I still owe $20,000.00 on that knowledge but heeeyyy. Major Lol. Uncle Sam can and will wait to get paid.      Urban geography is dear to my aorta and it is an important topic of discussion people should be familiarized with in general. People question a lot of the things happening in our world, yet, they do not understand the reasoning behind these events taking place. Let's define the terminology one step at a time: geography is the science based genre that divides into physical and human geography. Human geography deals with the interaction of nature with people, so for instance everything that a person may need from nature is a type of human geographical interaction. Physical g...

A-Holes

Image
    Shut up!!! Is what I would like to tell certain people that annoy me and are being a-holes. They think and make an assumption that I am a nice person and will put up with just anything. HELL NO!!!!!!        I am nice but believe me when I say I know how to be nasty too. I will not take any more BS from anybody. I deserve to be valued and respected and there is nothing in this world that is going to change that standard. I will be made clear as in heard okay!!!! So, apart from the fun attention grabber. I am please to announce I have been working again and I love it. I am responsible for the sanitation of the patients room and the hospital. I am blessed with the opportunity to interact with the patients on a daily basis. They make me feel welcomed and I serve them to the best of my ability.      We (my employment and I) are the best match made to man-kind. I love being surrounded with people who care about health and well-being of oth...

LeBron Gone

Image
   Heeeeyyyy!!! Say hello to the best team in the league - my boys the Golden State Warriors aka NBA 2018 Champions. If you haven't already noticed I love basketball and I am a baller myself. I have been viewing the NBA Finals since I was 12 years old and I have never missed a Finals series. My favorite teams are as follows:  LA Lakers SAN ANTONIO Spurs  MIAMI Heat GOLDEN STATE Warriors         My beloved mommy also loves basketball and we watch the games together all the time. She stayed up till 3 or 4 am when the Olympics was going on in China in 2008 or 2010, because USA basketball team was going for gold versus Spain. I tried to stay up but I was too tired and sleepy - I was rooting for Spain anyways (they lost and obtained Silver metals).        I have purchased 5 basketballs in my lifetime. I call it my baby - it is so pretty and beautiful ball. I recently bought a charm designed in a - you know it - ba...

Must be the Money

Image
         CHA CHING I know money makes the world go round. I have had some cha ching in the past, but no where close to being sufficiently stocked with money. I took out 6 credit cards because I wasn't working and needed certain things. Yes, it makes no sense, but I have a good credit score so why not utilize it when I needed it the most. People will judge me for being irresponsible and ambitious- I see it as being resourceful and self-sufficient. I pay my monthly payments with plasma donations and other things I've sold at the pawn shop.       Everybody can judge me for whatever reason they want to; however, they're not in my place facing my needs. Yes, I have also asked a few of my friends to lend me some money too. I will repay each and everyone of them with interest because I am a woman of my word as well. Money is essential in this kind of world- just don't let it control you. Be smart about those Benjamins and remember to save when it...

Suicidal

Image
   Life is precious! No one knows with exact certainty when they will inhale their last breath. When it will be the last time that they come across their loved ones. When it will be the last time they get laid or laid off. So many last times, yet, none can compare to a last goodbye. I have been fortunate thus far to never have been through a last goodbye. I hope I never have to experience one any time soon. I am an emotional person in general, so thinking of losing someone I love forever is gut-wrenching.      I am a miracle baby and to think I would want to deprive  myself of my own life - was just a thought I never saw plausible. Years later, I found myself in that situation twice within 4 years. It stemmed from episodes of severe depression. Being depressed is bad enough, now double that intensity and make it severe for over four consecutive months. They came alongside insomnia and loss of appetite, no desire for hygiene maintenance, constant raging n...

Born to Porn?

Image
    Oh baby come get some... harder, harder, harder ahhhh ohhhh mmmmm. Are you serious right now? Yes, I am being serious people. So many people ignore the subject, because it's too X-rated. Listen it's 2018 not 1920- let's be real with the issues at hand. So, for starters lets define porn: a video displaying body parts going in and out of other body parts. Sometimes they use roles and equipment, and they always exaggerate the intensity of the pleasure.      Is porn legal? Well, they have playboy so I assume to a certain extent: yes it is. Should kids or teens be exposed or have access to porn? Absolutely not!!!!! They barely know how to wipe their ass to be trying to stick something up there. It is a degrading activity to be sharing such an intimate act to the whole wide world. Yes, it gets someone hard/wet but the end game is you are not edifying yourself. Why make making love into something so despicable that it becomes an addiction.   ...

My Drugs

Image
  Hello people of this social media platform!!!! I have been gifted with words; plenty of words that make beautiful, fun, and creative sentences that later become awesome paragraphs. I am using this large cool font to advocate for those who might be visually impaired like myself because I ware glasses.     Now, let's get high!!! Wait what??? Girl you is crazy. Nah, I meant let's get high as in into the drug zone. I have been on 99.9% of legal drugs since I was born into this cruel world. When my accident happened my body was placed under induce comma; which is a procedure they use with specific medication to keep your brain asleep. Before every surgery and after the procedure I was given medicine to operate on me and medicine to help with the pain of being cut open.     I was then prescribed antibiotics for about two weeks after the release of the hospital and for any pain. I avoid taking medicine in general, because I have been pumped with med...

Naughty or Haughty

Image
        Do you wanna come out and play? Umh... what are you talking about I am a grown woman- I don't have time for games boy.       Silly pudding right? Yes, of course it is, but I got your attention and that is what counts. My titles are usually creative for the most part, and I want to keep it that way. I have always been a good student/peer throughout my schooling. However, there comes a time in everyone's life where you get a little loose.        Online dating - not recommended- brought out of me the most X-rated version of myself I didn't know existed within me. I will always regret the time and effort I placed during these months, because I gained nothing and lost so many precious moments of my life. One-night stands are not glamorous neither are one-day stands in a vehicle.         I have been more than just naughty and it wasn't worth it. I have been called a haughty and it g...
