Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful women out there, young and the young at heart, that we call our mothers, grandmothers, or godmothers! We are all so truly blessed to have you, I know I am! <3

So today is a question and answer day! :)

Firstly, I'd like to start with a crazy question that I spent an hour gawking at my laptop screen for. This was not because I was disgusted or mortified. Usually there are a fair couple of questions that stump me, but this one takes it above and beyond what I have ever seen in my inbox before. So let's tackle this one first; I know the one who sent it has been anticipating an answer... :)

Q: JAAG, I'm in a tight situation. I have been going out with my boyfriend for about five years. We're only 18, and we had sex two months ago for the second time. I thought we were totally protected, and since nothing happened the first time, I was sure that things would be the same. However, I was terribly wrong. I found out three weeks ago that I am now pregnant. I don't know what to do! Should I abort it or give birth to it?... I'm so lost, and I need help. - Too Young for Motherhood, via Email

JAAG: Okay. Take a deep breath. First things first, this will tell you that in the future, you really have to be aware that protection may not always prevent you from getting pregnant, and that even though the first time through was totally fine, things can always change.
Secondly, being a Catholic, I would tell you don't abort the baby. I know that most people would say "Well, it was an accident, so it really has no purpose in life." Actually, that is totally false. All humans being born into this world have a purpose, even if it can't be seen immediately. I know it is scary, but I hope that you will take care of this baby knowing that this is going to be YOUR daughter.
I know that the thought is terrifying - at 18, the most stressful thing on your mind should be finding a date to senoir prom, not wonder about what to do with your baby! I need you to talk to someone about your options: your parents, a counsellor, a doctor, to explore what your course of action should be during pregnancy and after you give birth to it. I really hope that you don't abort the baby. That baby is very precious. Please consider your actions very carefully and slowly before you do anything that you might regret. Best of luck to you and your boyfriend, and of course to the future baby. Next time also, please be prepared! I'm pretty sure you don't want to go through the same thing again.

Q: My girlfriend's birthday is coming up. What do you think I should get for her? - via Twitter

JAAG: Here's a thought for you: What I might like, your girlfriend might hate. After all, she is your girlfriend, and I'm not her! So instead of asking me, you may be better off asking her. Pay attention to her, and think about what her likes and dislikes are, preferably her likes. If you don't know these things by now, you may want to take some time to re-evaluate how you hang with her and whether or not you really know her. But yeah, find something sentimental and she'll definitely approve :)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
alrighty : I have to go reasearch for a project now ): sucks to be me.. oh well. school is almost over, and I cannot get over how fast time flies.

Enjoy the wonderful weather! And also - I finally fixed my Tumblr up that not only has a link to my personal twitter but to the JAAG twitter as well as this blog. Go check it out: www.rchlwngxx.tumblr.com

STAY OUT OF TROUBLE AND DON'T FORGET TO SMILE! Give some love to your mothers today, got it? :)

time for catching up

hello universe,

please keep in your hearts and prayers the people of Japan. the world is praying for you. they need our help more than ever so please, HELP OUT! :)

now, for me, life has just seem to make a 180 degree turn. i'm so thankful for people like you for reading. i'm thankful for family and friends when it seems like i am the only one left that can fend for myself.

THANKS FOR BEING WHO YOU ARE!

there's a quote for inspiration, especially if you're like me and like to take pictures. i love my camera, even if sometimes it acts like a tempermental two year old child ;)

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

break in segment. someone asked me a question very recently (read: a couple minutes ago) so i will answer it now, if that's alright...

it turns out that there is some guy following me by the username @sexychickfinder. anyone know who that is? (i have no idea who you are, but i guess in someways this is quite, er, flattering?...)

@sexychickfinder asks: what do you look for in a guy? can i be your guy? ;) ;)

okaay, sexychickfinder guy. i will answer only the first question for obvious reasons.

what exactly do i look for in a guy? well, i would like someone honest and full of respect. there is no point in me dating you if we don't base our relationship on respect. if you don't respect me, my family or friends, my life and religion, then you can FORGET IT.

i don't have a preference. regardless of race, if you are honest, witty, respectful, a hard-worker and fun to be around, then i'd love to be with you. there are so many people that i have met that have earned their few badges and merits here and there according to my guidelines, but i have yet to meet the ONE. SPECIAL. GUY. who can get me all those things and much more. i don't want my love to be just a one-sided thing; i need COMMITMENT and EQUALITY in my relationship. i need someone who can see me through in my darkest times. i need someone who can let me BE FREE, and BE ME.

so, @sexychickfinder guy, i hope this helps. maybe (or most-likely) we won't meet, but i hope you can find somebody to love. pardon the Justin Bieber cliche.

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




so yeah, life.

it goes on, people. don't let anything hold you back from being you! there is no point in hanging out with people who make you feel like you're worthless.

to quote P!nk,

"You are perfect to me."

the song "Perfect" by P!nk is quite inspirational. of course, there are some words that are included in that lyric if you choose to search it up, but it's not really something i can put on my blog, if you know what i mean :) be good!

so yeah, how goes it? i hope everyone is doing well.

on the flip side to all this rain we have been getting in our town, it's one week away from spring break!
i can't believe it! the year has gone by so fast, it's almost like...

...a blur. wow. pretty soon the school year will be over, and then it's summer time! :)

in terms of catching up? well, nothing really happens in my life. it all happens in my head.

one thing you should all know is that my head is full of randomness. i am not joking. if we all had the ability to look inside each other's heads, i must admit that mine would be quite a scary sight.

just a fair warning. :P

i think that people who understand life are people that are like this kid right here. i wish that that kid was me...

so yeah. to quote one of my favorite bands, Big Time Rush,

"...it's the only life you got, so you gotta live it big time."

and that is very true. STAY OUT OF TROUBLE AND DON'T FORGET TO SMILE!  peace out to you all, and peace all over the world.

night isn't quite what you think...

so this post comes late at night. for reals?

yeah for reals. just check the time on my post.

so this is going to be a random post that you are going to read today...i can't wait until tomorrow! halfday school days are kind of pointless fut fun at the same time. school = seeing your friends, teachers, the whole she-bang = fun / not so much fon / homework / love/hate relationships with others...

also: halfday = no lunch @ school = TOBIKO!!! with my amazing friends who i mentioned in earlier posts. it's true = friends make the person, and life in general enjoyable.

with friends like these, it's amazing that you still have time to chill out ALONE

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

so i got more news to say out loud on virtual paper. TIME IS GOING BY FASTER THAN WE COULD EVER IMAGINE!

it's crazy. i remember waking up  getting ready for show and tell in Kindergarten.

Now? i have to wake up, worrying about preeesentations, being nice to friends, cute guys, and being a part-time Ninja. (but that is no longer an issue...thanks so much...)

another something to tell you, which i'mma pretty sure i said before:

CONFRONTATION IS HARDER THAT IT SOUNDS. just ask me. i've been there, done that.

so proud of myself.

question of the day (night, whatever): what exactly is closure to you? and why do we need it? does everyone need it?

hmm, seems like questionnaire of the evening...

anyhoo, i got a bunch of cuute replies via Private Tweet concerning my earlier posts on JB's haircut and him dating a certain Disney star AHEM Selena Gomez...

@rheaohrhea says: "I hate Justin Bieber's haircut. and Selena is kind of stupid for dating him..."

jealousy in the air?

@_THATJAMES_ says: i'm a guy. i have no comment. but that Gomez chick is hooottt...

suure she is... ;)

@TravisYu says: i only have eyes for one girl you know <3 ;)

aww...btw, that is my AMAZINGLY AWESOME best friend ever....in love thru friendship forever...but let's leave it at that... ;)

@CandysChica3_ says: JUSTIN BIEBER IS SOOOO HOOOOTTTTT WITH HIS HAIRCUUUT! so cute!

hum hum hum...now we can actually see his eyes...

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

So there you go. different stokes for different folks. peace be with you.

i apologize for not posting any pics along with this (highly entertaining) post, for this is not my computer but my friend's. i  promise to put something cute up the next time though, preferrably animated...

LOVE ALWAYS! THE WORLD DON'T NEED HATERS! PNLT = PEOPLE NEED LOVE TOO.

<3

see you on the other side and have an AMAYYYZING, THAT'S AMAZING STYLE WEEKEND!

STAY OUTTA TROUBLE AND DON'T FORGET TO SMILE!
