"Never Say Never" and "Stay Strong"

In my life I have two celebrities that are my role models. I discover with them that celebrities aren't what we think they are, sometimes when you follow someone and know his or her story, you may find a role model, someone that inspire you and make you be a better person.

                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This first person has gone through a lot of things in live and have made a lot of mistakes, but everyone make mistakes and at one point in their lives regret them.

"I grew up below the poverty line; I didn't have as much as other people did. I think it made me stronger as a person, it built my character."

 He -yes is a he- grew up in Canada, he has a family who supported him at everything, when he was little he show to his mother that he has talent, this guy started playing the drums at the age of 2, the piano 6/7 and the guitar at 10. Today he is 20 and one of the most famous guy in the world. Today you may see him and think he is not a good role model  because he have been into jail and being caught doing many other things. But behind that bad boy attitude I found my role model. I'm talking about Justin Bieber, I know what you're probably thinking, but have you ever take time to know his story.

He was just another normal kid before he was discover singing on YouTube. When he was little he like to play his guitar in front of the Avon Theatre to help his mother with the payment of the apartment they used to live. After he became famous he started helping others and one time he heard the story of Avalanna, a little girl who was struggling against cancer. And Justin wanted to meet her, they were supposed to spend just a little time together but instead they spend a whole day...

For me she represent Justin Bieber heart. You could see Justin smile whenever he was around her and how much he really care about others, and not only about the fame and money. 

“You were born to be some body, maybe a vet, maybe a hero, maybe a care giver. What ever it is you were born to be something special and if you believe you can achieve”

You know that when you're a teen many things happen in your live and you have dreams, that many times people tell you that you can't make them come true or you will never achieve them... before I graduate from high school someone ones told me that I can't do what I wanted to do- I remember that those words really hurt me and they make me think twice before a made a decision- But I remember I took my iPod and play shuffle, and something weird happen. Justin song "Born To Be Somebody" was the first song that was play, I thought it was just coincidence. But then I say, causality happen and if this song appeared is because I have to follow my dreams and do what my heart tells me to do and then I remember what he once said:

He inspired people to follow their dreams and Never give up, this is what I liked the most about him. Because he make me believe in me , in my dreams. He was told that he'll never be able to sell the Madison Square Garden (and he did, because he never give up), Some days before he perform there, he got sick and even thought he was sick, Justin didn't give up and didn't postpone the concert. I've learn a lot of things since I started following him. Justin, like I said before he taught me to follow my dreams, Believe and Help others. 

                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

"If anyone tells you that you can’t live the life you imagined, you don’t have to prove them wrong—just keep on working your hardest and know in your heart that you can achieve it. Use their doubtful attitude as motivation."

Now is time for my second role model. This person is my inspiration, she's been through many things in her life and has overcome them. When she was little she was bullied and because of it she commit self harm. But after all that she went through she didn't give up and now she's not only my role model, she's also to others.

And I'm talking about Demi Lovato.

Before that smile appear she was a girl  sad, crying and trying to find a way out of the pain, she was dealing with trying to be a role model, when she didn't feel like one and hated being one. Demi kind of had the same schedule "Tour, TV Show, Album, Movie, Tour, TV Show, Album, Movie...and repeat" She didn't have time for her and "It literally end up driving me insane". The last time she end a tour her parent knew she needed help and make her go to a treatment center.

Today Demi is using her story to help other, and tell them that "Life is precious and its what you do with it that keeps you alive on the inside. It's not enough just to live and take that gift for granted. Each one of us has fears, but the more we work to overcome them, the more we are able to enjoy our lives" Demi learn to Stay Strong and fight against whatever bothers you, and this is what I like the most about her, she is not only another celebrity. She's making a diference in the life of many people: Kids, teen, adults, elderly, homosexual...everyone.

I also admire her for the passion she put in what she does and how her songs lyrics mean and get to the people who hear it.

I think this was all for today, thank you and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did writing it :)

Media

What is the media?, Pros and Cons, Famous people and the Media

Media

The Media is everywhere, you find it in the TV, radio, magazines, newspapers, billboards, internet…-I think you got it, right? ;)-. These types of Medias are intended to disseminate messages/news to inform people. The media is something that has evolve through the years, especially with the invention of the Internet. With the Internet the news run faster and in one second a person from Alaska can know what’s going on in the Middle East. The media has it pros and cons:

Pros:

-It inform people, let them communicate with others/interact, it also help find criminals, students do better in school, better quality of life, generate employments

Cons:

-          Make people fear, cause accidents and sometimes the media doesn’t tell the whole truth- most of the time it happen to the famous people-,some students don’t  use it for school works and instead use facebook, twitter, instagram…etc.

Now, Famous People and the Media

I'm kind of obsess with knowing everything about the celebrities I like, but there’s something that I always hated when I read a “breaking news”, I don’t like when people speculate and spread false rumors, making the singers, actors, socialite… look bad and at the end of the day it comes out that it was all a lie. Also, sometimes the medias says that someone die when it’s not true. “He (media) wanna write my obituary”-Michael Jackson, Breaking News Song.

Some singers wrote songs about this theme and how they felt about being stalked the whole time and hearing false rumors, for example: Miley Cyrus, Fly on The wall- the Fly is the paparazzi-, Michael Jackson, Monster and Breaking News, The Fratellis, Tell me a lie, Rihana, S&M.

Those are examples of songs that talk about how the singers felt and think about the media, and it also let us know that we shouldn’t believe everything that it’s said in the internet, news, newspaper…

How would you feel if you where famous and you have someone behind you the whole time taking pictures and saying false things about you? 

I don't want to say that the media is a bad thing, but when is too much is too much.

Peace out :) 

Warrior- You Are The Winner

When I hear the word "war" the first thing that comes to my mind is this cruel scenario of people killing each other for a "good purpose"-yeah right-. And being honest, since a read that I had to write about this subject, I hated it. But then I say " I don't have to write about that type of war, I mean there are different kind of wars, right?" I wanted to talk about a different war and find it a positive side, so I thought about it and then I came up with this tittle "Warrior- You Are The Winner". By warrior I don't mean the person who fight in the war we're used to hear about, what I mean is the person who have had a war with himself or herself. This is the type of war that I'm pretty sure a lot of people have experienced, maybe because they where bullied, abused, depressed, self harmed or just because they weren't sure about something. And this is the war that make you stronger, is the only war that have a winner...

This Inner war is about you fighting with yourself but rather than letting it take you down sometimes you have to accept the fact that you have been hurted, that you had a past and now you're becoming stronger from it all and you've learned from it. If you overcome this war, you're becoming a part of your future and whatever hurts you before can't do it any more.When you move on from that war that once held you down your becoming a Warrior. This war is powerful than the war we're use to hear abut, because this inner war can make you do things you never thought you were capable of... 

I want to encourage people to stop this war, this war that have many warriors, some that have overcome it and some that still fighting. This warriors will always have the past with them, but remember that you won't let it hurt you again, because you're a Warrior and you are a winner, and like I said before this is the only war that have a winner and that winner is you.

Note:

This post was inspired by Demi Lovato's song Warrior.

My Two Nightingales

This week the theme is Death, this is a theme that not a lot of people like to talk about, including me. The first time I experience the feelings that death bring to people I was 11 years old. My mom was pregnant of my little brother Uriel. I was so excited about the possibility of having a brother that when my dad told me that my mom lost her baby I couldn't believe it, I remember me crying and then day of the funeral…I really wanted to have a baby brother or sister. But I guess is not always what you want, right? Death is something normal, we all know that someday we'll stop breathing, but people usually die when they are old, I mean that’s what we call normal. I always asked myself, why my brother and why my sister? They were just staring to live.

After Uriel, my mom got pregnant again, but this time it was a baby girl. When she was five months, my mom was hospitalized because things got complicated with her pregnancy and while hospitalized she gave birth to my new sister Lupita. Who live for six days, I remember the first time I saw her in the Hospital Damas, she looked so little and fragile. But it happened again death came and took her back to heaven. This time I had my friends support and they helped me through the acceptance of her leaving. I think this is something important, support, when you are dealing with the departure of someone is always good to have someone by your side supporting you and telling you that everything’s going to be alright.  

I see my two siblings as my nightingales, I'll explain it better, the nightingale is a symbol of the connection between love and death, and in the East Indian mythology it represent departed souls. That’s what they are for me, two departed souls who I will meet when my souls leave this world…

Happiness

Hello !! 

Well like I said in the introduction the first week is Happiness. Lets start with it definition, happiness is "the quality or State of being happy" (Dictionary definition)-ugh this is starting to sound like health class-. Press [Rewing] and lets start with...

- What is Happiness for me?

My cousins.

 - Why?

Well that's easy, without them my life is not complete. They make me laugh and no matter what they're always by my side. My cousins, they are like my clowns and I definitely can't live without them. Now I'm going to tell you something about all my cousins, so you get to know them a little.

Starting with Edgar Yaniel:

This one here is the hyperactive Edgar, he is the oldest cousin(boy). He is 7 years old, soon he'll be 8, this little man right here ---->
is the sweetest kids that you can ever met.

Yesterday, he was hospitalized and I went with my aunt and him to the hospital, I was so worried about him because I'm use to see him happy, running around the house, singing and dancing. But yesterday it wasn't one of those days. Thank God he is now feeling better and resting at his home.

Now lets talk about Angeles. Her name says it all, she's our little angel. Angeles is my 12 years old cousin. 

 This little person is very special in my life, we are more than cousins. WE ARE SISTERS, Angeles and I can seat a whole day side by side just listening to music (Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato, Marco Antonio Solis...) and watching movies (Thinker Bell Movies), except for the days when she's feeling like she doesn't want anyone by her side. ( Believe me in those days you wouldn't want to seat by her side) But still, I love her. <3

Now is Zadquiel David's turn. He is my littlest cousin, we calls him Zeque and he's so cute. Since he is the little one Danielee, Angeles and I like to annoy him, specially because he get mad quickly, but still, we love him and he knows it.

Now is time for Danielee, I don't now what can I said about her, she's so special in my life that I have a lot of words to describe her and I don't know with what I should start. She's been in my life since I'm 3 years old and we have so much story to tell. When we where little Danielee and I started a cousins club call "Naughty Cousins" (It sound better in Spanish "Primos Travieso"). You must be wondering what is this club about? Well it easy the objective of this club is to do pranks and be naughty. There's one prank that I'll never forget and that I'm going to tell you now. 

One day Danielee and I where at our grandparents house with them, my mom and Aunt Leslie (Angeles mom). Dany and I took an empty suitcase and pretend that we where leaving the house forever, we went out of the house and straight to my mom's car, Danielee and I hide in the third row of seat where no one can see us and stayed there for a few minutes. But something went wrong, my mom got in the car, she started it and then start driving. While she was driving she got a call from grandma, telling her that she couldn't find us, we tried not to laugh in the back seat but it was impossible. Danielle and I where still in pajamas and when we revealed ourself, we got a big speech from my mom and I don't remember if they punish us, but still this one was the best mischief we've ever done. hahaha :)

These are my cousins, and they are my Happiness. :)
