Plane crash into Hudson River-thanks to pilot!

....So I just woke up feeling better...

This morning I had to wake up super early to go to the airport with dad (going to visit family and friends back home). worked all day yesterday and got home late. ..and to make it worst I have a motion sickness problem (so you can imagine the ride to the airport-ughh!). I stayed at the airport 'till his flight took off because it started snowing bad and we expected the weather to get worst, just in case his flight got (wasn't sure but waited anyway to see the "final boarding" for his destination.

Came home got something to eat..and took a nap.....

Woke up 4:39pm ...

........a plane crashed? huh? where? how? hope it's not a terrorist attacked again! not now...not again and especially not in this weather......

What we know is, a US Airways jet made an emergency landing into the Hudson River on this frigid afternoon.

The US Airways-flight 1549, with 155 people on board; three flight attendants and two pilots, left LaGuardia and was heading to Charlotte, NC. The cause for this as pilot reported: a "double bird strike" less than a minute after taking off. That's when he felt like he had to make that pluged into the Hudson. Both engines were knocked out by a flock of geese, the pilot wanted to turned back to LGA airport but it was too late-he made a safe landing to the Hudson near 48th instead that way it would be easier and safer for the passnegers on board.

Some people suffered minor bruises and scrapes, and minor hypothermia-it could have been worst.

God forbids that plane could've worst-it could've landed anywhere on the streets on NYC (times square) GOD knows...but thanks to the pilot such thing didn't happened.

One thing I can say about this almost-tragic incident is: I am glad everyone is ok and are safe-thanks to the pilot for making that safe landing.

Thank you GOD for another year!

AWWWW I HAD TO LOL

AT THE "THE L WORD" PARTY IN PHILLY

NO COMMENTS LOL

MY FIRST VOLUNTEERING TABLE AT GRAMERCY

MY SURPRISED BIRTHDAY MY EX-BEST FRIEND HAD FOR ME :)-MISSED THOSE DAYS! AT THIS CLUB IN PHILLY

ME IN TX LAST YEAR AROUND THIS TIME

Hello everyone, Welcome again to my spot!

First I would like to wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR!! and hope you all had a great '08 and hope you get to see many more in '09 and so on.

I know some of my good friends and my best friend heard it before and knows it and some of my other people I associate already heard me wishing them a great new year (blah blah). But I really would like to take the time out to thank and let people in my life know how much I appreciate them for being who they are-the best, the good, not so good, assholes (that's what makes you who you are), and the crazy ones (love you too) lol.

Looking back in '08, it was a very good year for me and I can honestly say I've come encounters with so many different types of individuals that I want to stay friends with and some I don't want in my life at all.

I've gone places that I've never been before and would like to visit again next year and maybe live in in two years (maybe that'll be my new years resolution for 2010) ::shrugs::

and some places I don't want to go back and waste my money again. But 2008 was a better than 2007-that I can say.

I've got hurt (feelings) by someone whom I truly loved and cared for, but hey that's life, regardless of anything if someone choses to hurt you no matter how deep is your love for them they will do it (no excuses!)

But I am over it..I am single and loving it lol..seriously it's totally fine ::smiles: I know GOD has a reason for whatever and why certain things happened the way they did.

I am greatful for whatever GOD has blessed me with ...

I am GRATEFUL for:

*good health (family)

*great ppl in my life

*full of self-love

*strong and smart

*my jobs

*and just every little thing else

I plan on leaving alot of old, bad habits and bad apples behind, some are personal that I can't share with you. But some are just simple little things that I need to get rid of and move on.

I plan on taking life more seriously and continue to live it to the fullest.

I've come to realized my priorities (be there for family, school, work, me and taking care of me more) is more important than anything else in this world.

I plan on being there for my friends more and try to come to an understanding that it's not and doesn't have to be all about ME all the damn times!

I plan on better my life, as in stay focused when in school and be more focused to my inner self/being, and to really understand who I am.

Continue to be the loving, sensitive individual that I am and not let the unsensitive assholes/anyone tell me otherwise.

I plan on continuing to give and share my love (to the ones that are worth it).

Ok now that you see what I'm planing on doing and you can understanding it or not that's up to you!

ohhhhh...before I put this down ,whoever is reading my page and feel like it's about them which after all if you feel some type of way-I guess it's you then ::smiles::

.....I plan on LEAVING/IGNORING THE BAD APPLES behind (who eats or would even pick up a bad apple off the ground anyway?) NOT ME! ok ok..I did but don't want to and trying not to for '09.

So I plan on deleting alot of "friends from '08 (the ones that's never there for me, the lames and the flakes, the ones that promised shyt but can't do shyt about it and always have this "I don't give a shyt attitude)..life is not about "oh that's not my business and why should I care". Or "Why should I care when that's the type of person that I am? I can't help it") I need more positive, self oriented individuals in my life. I am tired of the fakes ones and tired of someone I considered real but was dead wrong about.

GOD knows how much we all need positive thinkers and individuals in our lives. I know I do.

I have alot of goals that much be achived this year, better yeat before my birthday (April).

I plan on getting my license (grandma needs to be a lil faster lol)

I want to do my internship this fall.

I want this and I want that....::screaming::

I WANT IT ALL LOL!!

ok I should stop.....

oh but wait.....I can say I need to lose like Mmm!! ::looking in the mirror: 15lbs.

I can toned up a bit.

I can slow down on the partying and the drinking (well maybe to that one).

I plan on using my money wisely-recession hello lol

I can slow down on the talking (talk too much sometimes lol)..seriously I can slow down...

I would like to thank you all for being a part in my journey (life) and for being who you are....

and have a great new year..TTYL!!

at least someone has the courage to do something!

I swear when I seen that I laughed so hard I almost peed on me lol, too funny.

Finally here we got someone who has a gut and the courage to do something to this man they call "the president of the United States Of America" lol, I swear something like that can only happen else where-can never happen in the US.

BAGHDAD (Dec. 14) - On an Iraq trip shrouded in secrecy and marred by dissent, President George W. Bush on Sunday hailed progress in the war that defines his presidency and got a size-10 reminder of his unpopularity when a man hurled two shoes at him during a news conference. An Iraqi journalist threw two shoes at President Bush during a news conference Sunday with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. The president was not hurt in the incident. (Dec. 14) "This is a farewell kiss, you dog!" shouted the protester in Arabic, later identified as Muntadar al-Zeidi, a correspondent for Al-Baghdadia television, an Iraqi-owned station based in Cairo, Egypt. Bush ducked both shoes as they whizzed past his head and landed with a thud against the wall behind him. "It was a size 10," Bush joked later. The U.S. president visited the Iraqi capital just 37 days before he hands the war off to his successor, Barack Obama, who has pledged to end it. The president wanted to highlight a drop in violence in a nation still riven by ethnic strife and to celebrate a recent U.S.-Iraq security agreement, which calls for U.S. troops to withdraw from Iraq by the end of 2011. "The war is not over," Bush said, adding that "it is decisively on it's way to being won." In many ways, the unannounced trip was a victory lap without a clear victory. Nearly 150,000 U.S. troops remain in Iraq fighting a war that is intensely disliked across the globe. More than 4,209 members of the U.S. military have died in the conflict, which has cost U.S. taxpayers $576 billion since it began five years and nine months ago. Link

the yes..and the not so yes for a holiday event..

Ok so we know it's the holidays right? But are you ready for it? I know I am....

We all are going to be invited to parties either at work, friends or families.

You're all excited about attending, got the perfect gift for the right person.

You know exactly what you're going to wear for the event.

You know the exact time, date, and place. you even request the next day off from work or make sure you'll be off the next day in case you get carried away with the martini from that party (hungover=near death). But what if for some reason you lost the invitation card, or you forgot the add, even can't find the perfect gift?..there are things that can prevent us from making a good impression on our friends, families, or in a professional environment (work, social clubs, etc.)..and this is where I will tell you how to at least try to make a good impression on yourself.............after all certain things can be prevented if you don't allow them to!

*Save the invitation cared (whether you're planing on going or not)-you never know.

*Call the person to let them know you'll be able to make it.

*Still call them even if you're unable to attend (it's just appropriate to do so).

*Show up on time .

*If you're going to be late , make sure you call in advance to inform you're going to be late.

*Don't go empty-handed. Bring something with you (a gift: a bottle of wine, cake, food but all depends on the event and where, even a card is a good look).

*Behave yourself at the event. Don't get drunk, even tipsy.

*Have fun but don't be a worm.

*Don't be the only one leaving the event last!

Now I think this is it, if for any reason you think I'm missing a couple of things or need to add a few more things comment and let me know-I'd appreciate all the feedbacks I can get! Link

How would you start?

It's exactly 12:49pm on Wednesday December 3rd of 2008, I am at work now (my regular day job) and about to start at 1pm and will get off at 9pm maybe close. It's going to be a hectic day (Christmas Tree lighting at Rockefeller Center) so you can imagine. And just going to be a busy end of the year because we all know it's the holiday season and we're all going to be busy with our lives and live it joyfully!! So what are your plans for this holiday season? We've got meetings, work, family, school, friends, parties to attend and planing.....how would you plan them and how would you be ready for the holidays, how and when will you start planing? Have you done your shopping yet? Either way you have to start somewhere..why not get the gifts and get the cards ready with the list first and start from there and work your way down and see what needs to be done-maybe it'll be easier that way.

I have so much to do this holiday season: Parties, meetings, volunteering works (LifeBeat, Foodbank, City Harvest, have to go help at the shelters), work, blogging, and have to get my works ready for my soon be a career for singersroom ::smiling::

I remember last holiday, I was so in love with someone whom I thought felt the same way about me but in the end I was in it alone-I miss you..and I wished you'd never hurt me like you did I swear, I don't hate you. Anyway life is life and I have to make the best of it.

But last year I would be all hyped up and happy and already booked my flight and got all my things ready to go visit them ::smiling::

God only knows why things turned out the way it did after all I would not be the one to hurt anyone. So that I can be sure I can live with myself at peace.

But I am ready for the holidays! All I know is that this holiday would be different and I'm going to try to make the best of it without regrets!!

World AIDS Day

This year marks the 20th anniversary of World AIDS Day. First observed in 1988, World AIDS Day was initiated by health ministers from around the world who called for a spirit of social tolerance and a greater awareness of HIV/AIDS on an international scale.

*33.2 million people living with HIV

*Around 2.5 million new cases of HIV in 2007
