Home sick :( But still Productive

I seem to have caught some sort of cold. But that didn't stop me.I had hominy , which is a Caribbean porridge made of boiled corn. I couldn't really taste it but hey.. And I also I decided to try some recipes on my own because I refuse to just sit around the house and do nothing. Firstly, I created the wonderful corn casserole that I learned how to make from one of my childhood teachers. Here is the link to the basic recipe: Link- All Recipes Dot Com. The only thing I did not use from the recipe is the sour cream, because thats not how I originally learned how to cook it. It came out beautifully.

             Then I made sweet and sour chicken inspired by Ateya. Here is both of them on my plate.

Food Food Food

For the past couple of days, I've been eating some miscellaneous foods. There was almost nothing in my refrigerator... Sometimes you have to make something out of nothing.

On the top:  Baked mashes potatoes with a kind of bread on the bottom and cheese on the top.On the bottom:  half of a small baked potato..Pretty good.

Some of the delicious chili my brother made...and I made a Guyanese cheese and butter Sammich. They taste soooo good combined.

                                                         Sometimes the simplest things are enough.

And lastly, Last night I went out to eat with my church family to the famous Gabby's Pizza, who was on Rachel Ray's show, and is recognized for being the best in Queens New York. I had the baked ziti with meatballs on the side...Excellent I tell you! I clobbered that plate like I haven't seen food for a decade.

Heaven

Why Do We Do The Things We Do?

Why are we so obsessed with how we look

But not with the content of our character

Why do we overlook the poor

When we are all humans and deserve a chance

Why don't we appreciate our loved ones

Until their no longer with us, and six feet under

Why do we procrastinate

And then regret it time after time

Why do we treat each other with disdain

and look the other way when one of us needs help?

Why do we leave the one that treats us right

for the one who couldn't care less about us?

Why? That is the real question

What I Want To Do With My Life

     I've been accepted to two out of 8 of the colleges of my choice so far.. I have a long way to go. I've worked really hard in school and I want to go to a school that is on MY LEVEL. But my father has been stressing me to go to a city school because he does not want to pay for me to get a different education. I feel its so unfair. I been busting my butt off in school so that I could get into a  school of my choice, and then you're gonna tell me I can't, when you know you have the money but you just don't wanna spend it? Some bs.
    But anyways I want to become an early childhood teacher or elementary school teacher, because I feel that the best time to help to mold the lives of children is when their minds are developing and have fresh ideas. I love kids, and I would like to make a difference in at least one child's life.  I'll never forget my daycare teachers and my 5th and 7th grade teachers because they actually took interest in me. They are the teachers I will remember for my lifetime because they made me want to learn more things. We need more teachers like that. Most of the teachers nowadays don't have a passion for what they do anymore. It's just a job to them. I don't want to be that kind of teacher. I want to set a different example. I want kids to appreciate school, not dread coming to school everyday.

Avon Sonic Boost Mascara

Okay, I just wanted to do some kind of review on this mascara because I'm really enjoying it. My friend gave it to me as a Christmas gift, and I loved it upon the first use. It doesn't give you crazy volume, but I love the lift and lengthening that  it does give. It makes my eyelashes look super bouncy and my eyes look brighter. People came up to me and they said they love my eye makeup and I said I really didn't do anything different from any other day ( besides the mascara ofcourse). I must say at first I wasn't so thrilled about it vibrating, but after I used it my eyelashes looked beautiful.

Can I Breathe?

You shove your ideology straight down my throat
I Can't stand your smile, your face, your voice.
Fake love doesn't get me anywhere
If you died tomorrow I swear I wouldn't care
So tell me why I should even pretend
To cherish the abnoxious time in which we spend
I can't say a word, Oh how I wish to let out a shout
But I patiently wait for the day when I can get out
Until then I'm as quiet as a mouse
Stifled to death in this prison house
