Donations - American Cancer Society

I just donated $25 to the American Cancer Society for Breast Cancer and it totally inspired me to do a quick post. No, I am not posting to rave about my donation because it's not like I donated hundreds.

One of my friends/coworker's grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer not too long ago and thankfully it was something minor and was caught early on so they were able to remove it right away.

Long story short, this insipred their family to be more active in the Breast Cancer Society and decided that they would help raise money for cancer reasearch and show their support by walking in August.

I just donated some money to their group and I know that $25 is not a lot but its something and I'm proud of it. You'll be surprized on how far $25 will go, just imagine for every person that you know donated $5 it'll definitely add up.

Anyone can donate and contribute to a good cause and sometimes it doesn't involve any money. Overtime, I'll be blogging more about the things that I do to help contribute to a good cause or just even being eco-friendly.

Sometimes when I talk to people about donating and doing a good thing the first response that I usually get is "I don't have any money". That has always irritated the crap out of me because everyone can afford to give a little. I'm not saying that I'm trying to make everyone donate money because it is totally up to you if you want to contribute but don't make money an issue. If you don't want to do it then you don't want to it. Don't make excuses.

I know that there are always so many scammers out there that just really ruins it for everyone. It frustrates me how these people can take advantage of the people who do things out of the kindness of their hearts. Because of all these scammers people are starting to become more and more reluctant to donate because they don't kno who to trust. That's why if you were to donate please donate directly to the foundation or to the American Red Cross. That is of course you know that you're 100% sure that the person or place you are donating to is reliable.


Don't really have much left to say but I'll try to post more frequently in the future :)

Streak of bad luck ...

Uggggh ... just wanted to take out a little frustration since I've been just out of luck lately.

I lost my driver license, credit card, and some cash. Someone dropped my camera and it is no longer working :( its going to cost me $125 to fix it (I know I might as well buy a new one, but it was a gift =\). All happened over the weekend, boo!

Also, I'm taking my car to the mechanic this weekend to replace the axle because every so often when I make a turn it'll make some weird noises so there goes a couple of bills.


I've also been holding back on changing my tires too because it just cost so much money! Technically, I was able to get away with only changing two tires but since I've pushed it back for so long now all 4 of my tires are bald. :( that is going to be a very expensive expense.


I've been driving without a license for a couple of days now and I'm hoping that I'll be able to go to DMV on Friday since I get off of work early that day. I'm crossing my fingers that this Friday isn't a furlough day. That's also going to cost me like $26? I forgot ...


Oh wells, I'm so grateful that I have a job so I know that I'll be able to afford all these fixes but man some of these are unnecessary fixes. Looks like I'll be cutting back for a while.


Man, I've been waiting to fix my laptop too cause half of my screen blacked out so I'm only working with half a screen ... :(



I'm sure that things will turn around. I just might get a hair cut this weekend just to give myself a picker upper, hahaha but I don't know if thats such a smart idea since I know have these expenses. We will see how emo I get I guess, hahaha.

Anime Expo :)

Anime Expo on Saturday was fun! I took a grip load of pictures with people in amazing costumes. Totally inspired me to go in a better costume next year (that's if we go again). I didn't really get to purchase much from the expo for myself but I didn't leave empty handed. I got a little something for several people. Bleach plush doll for my friend, pikachu pin for my cousin, and an amazingly cute plush pea with colorful peas in it for my baby cousin. I'll post pictures of it when I get the chance to take a picture of it. In the mean time, I'll post SOME pictures that I took at the expo. :)

People waiting to go into the expo as I freely walked up the stairs like a VIP attendee. Not really VIP but we found a way to get in before everyone else :).





Look at all the people waiting!




(Pictures are in no particular order, just want them to be organized)

ANIME EXPO TOMORROW!

Tomorrow I'm going to be attending the Anime Expo at the L.A Convention Center and I'm ridiculously excited for it. I just wished that we had planned it earlier so I could come up with a better outfit/costume to wear :)

It's going to my first time ever going to an Anime Expo, so I'm really looking forward to it.

I just started getting into anime because the bf sucked me into it. Sadly, I haven't really been up to date with the episodes because there has been so much going on lately. Especially since I work Monday - Friday with a long commute (approx. 1hr) so it's taking a toll on my physically and mentally. I'm finally managing to have a balance between my social life and work life just needs a few tweets here and there and I'm set.

I've decided that I wanted to start blogging again just because I feel like it's a great way for me to "document" my life. Plus, I feel that I do occasionally encounter something cool that perhaps someone out there might be interested in knowing as well.

We will see how this goes :) I get so lazy now I might just forget about this whole blogging thing after a few weeks. haha
