Sometimes you have to remove certain people from your life. Even if it's family.

ARE VEGETARIANS ALLOWED TO HAVE BUTTERFLIES IN THEIR STOMACH?

Love shouldn't be confusing. It should just work.

Love knows no boundaries. Whether your next door neighbor, or thousands of miles apart.

Love and let love. 

If you love someone you say it. 

Say it right then and there, or else that moment will pass you by forever.

NEVER be afraid to show you feel. Be YOU. The REAL you. Love accepts all your flaws and is intriguingly amazed by it.

BIG THINGS POPPIN!

"Set a goal to achieve something that is so big, so exhilarating that it excites you and scares you at the same time. It must be a goal that is so appealing, so much in line with your spiritual core that you can't get it out of your mind. If you do not get chills when you set a goal, you're not setting big enough goals."

DOWNTOWN LA ARTWALK

Thursday, April 14th, 2011.

Noon-9pm

Artwalk in full effect again! 

Every second Thursday of the month.

next artwalk: May 12th, 2011

There's approximately 40 art galleries that lie along Spring St. in between 4th St. and Olympic Blvd. and the best part of the night?...ALL of the LA gourmet food trucks will be right on Spring and 4th(I'm sucha fatty). Yes I  mean all of them. There's so many options to choose from last time I was so overwhelmed and just had one tofu taco. Tomorrow..It's game on!  I've yet to find the White Rabbit truck that serves all your favorite Filipino dishes gourmet style, but my FAVORITE has got to be ..The Shrimp Guys..

Spicy Garlic Shrimp (above) or the coconut lime!!... Delish...but don't forget to top it off with dessert!! I spy CoolHaus Ice Cream Truck!.. pick your cookies.. pick your ice cream and voila! Destiny awaits.

After all your munching away don't get too caught up and forget about the experience of the art galleries. Most are free and just a few have an entrance fee that's just a few bucks here and there(less than $5), but well worth the experience. Bring cash just in case because you'll find so many handmade arts, crafts, jewelry, you won't be able to resist. Trust (yes even for the boys). If your funds are low that's alright as well because the experience will be a fun filled interesting evening with monsters of crowds along the streets of Downtown. Enjoy and in case you miss this week, you can always come back next month.

OPEN SESAME

Hollywood Magic Castle

The Magic Castle was a mansion originally built in 1909, later transformed into a home for the elderly, then became a private club for magicians in 1963. You can visit the the magic castle if you enter with a member, or are invited. Each room holds a magic show during certain times. Luckily, I have a magician friend and got to visit the world famous Magic Castle! No pictures are allowed past the Owl Bookcase, but I did what I could. To pass through the Magic Castle you must recite the magic words and the Owl Bookcase opens. There are bars and dining rooms to have dinner or drinks in-between each show.

It's filled with aspiring magicians and almost all of them had a deck of cards to show their tricks while we waited for the rooms to open for the private shows. There is a dungeon, a Houdini Seance Room filled with his belongings, and invisible Irma. There is a seance held on the day of Houdinis death, October 31st every year to try and bring him back from the dead. The story of Invisble Irma, who was a pianist for the millionaire home owner, haunts the house and still plays your requests as you slip a dollar into her bird's cage. It was a magical night and the magicians were incredible!

YOU'LL ALWAYS BE MY SUNSET

"One of the best things in life is realizing you’re perfectly happy without the one thing you thought you needed the most."

FOOTPRINTS

Some people come into our lives 

and quickly go.

Some stay for a while 

and leave footprints in our hearts.

And we are never, ever the same.

Venice Beach, CA

L.A. METRO

The Los Angeles Metro or MTA 

[ Metropolitan Transit Authority ] 

Either you've 
1. taken it a few times
2. didn't know it existed
3. or are extremely horrified of it 

 My route has only consisted of taking the Metrolink train to Union Station and taking the Gold Line to Old Town Pasadena. Gotta love Colorado Street and the Rose Bowl Flea Market! I would not dare take the blue or green line just for what I've heard so basically I'll break it down in the easiest way possible. Mind you this is just from "word of mouth."

Red Line-  Tourists and whatnot
Blue Line-  Lack off a better word, Ghetto 
Green Line- same as above
Gold Line- It's whatever

 It's not as bad as it seems, but any transportation is better than no transportation! Living in California you definitely need a car to get around, but I sure do miss the London Underground and enjoyed it much more than the LA metro system.

GENIUNE SURRENDER

       Genuine surrender says, "Father, if this problem, pain, sickness, or circumstance is needed to fulfill your purpose and glory in my life or in another's life, please don't take it away."

You know you're surrendered to God when you rely on God to work things out instead of trying to manipulate others, force your agenda, and control the situation. You let go and let God work. You don't have to always be in charge. Instead of trying harder, you trust more.

You also know you're surrendered when you don't react to criticism and rush to defend yourself.

This level of maturity doesn't come easy. Surrender is hard work. In our case, it requires intense warfare against our self-centered nature.

MIDDLE SCHOOL

Let yourself fall in love.

Let yourself be heartbroken.

Let yourself learn,

then let yourself grow.
