How do you feel? How do you make it so that your true self can come out?<br /><br />The way I see it, is to embrace the present moment, even though it might seem strange that you're situated around people you have barely met, it's important to be grateful and still see the good in that very moment. A lot of times we think how "awkward" and different it is being in a new setting but remain in that positive state that you wish to carry out.<br /><br />Being in a different city/country/school can also carry different energies and sometimes it can be hard to adapt to feeling comfortable. Again, just be present in the moment you are in. If you can pick up people's negative energies, bounce if off you by doing positive affirmations and know that you are infinitely safe and thinking only great thoughts.<br /><br />I try to do this when I am in a new setting and it works a lot of the time!<br /><br />good luck,<br />kimbundanceUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769495052951668198.post-85404052396724829602010-09-17T15:46:00.000-07:002010-09-17T15:57:46.424-07:00Perserverance<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaKCmFxnIrsxCc6hSGiYyWzCSJA-ax_0QDMpVaTJgGlC8QcRdJHQTJpY5a45Xf4hH8jcaV_8NpegTL4QCQJGUHfls15LzPnRSLxkef4A4_LwI-ObS6wwq_7A9INnmqnPavkkgxz_Aw92U/s1600/Uncle-Jesse-and-Michelle-full-house-553315_506_640.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 158px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaKCmFxnIrsxCc6hSGiYyWzCSJA-ax_0QDMpVaTJgGlC8QcRdJHQTJpY5a45Xf4hH8jcaV_8NpegTL4QCQJGUHfls15LzPnRSLxkef4A4_LwI-ObS6wwq_7A9INnmqnPavkkgxz_Aw92U/s200/Uncle-Jesse-and-Michelle-full-house-553315_506_640.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518020341752890146" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">If any of you guys are an avid watcher of Full House or was an avid watcher of Full House, there's one episode where Uncle Jessie teaches Michelle (the youngest one) about "perseverance."

I am not at that young age where I can waste away and do unproductive things anymore. I've really gotta buckle down and take that elbow grease out and figure things out for the future.<br /><br />This is me putting my very best foot forward and trying new techniques to expand my little jewelry business (Sprinkim). I'm excited to test things out and figure out what works and what doesn't. Of course there are major kinks right now, but in due time, things will run smoothly.<br /><br />Birthday's for me are like celebrating the New Year on January 1st. It's a time to reflect on the past and move on with the future. Most people are scared about moving forward, but I kinda like it (a lot!). It gives us a chance to experience cool things in a new light and broaden our horizons, meet new people that could change our lives and see what life is like in that moment.<br /><br />Everyone has their moment of renewal and one day you will too! Just keep an optimistic mind and realize that everyone's different in their own way and that's okay.<br /><br />So here's to my fellow Leo's!

At times, we have no control over unfair treatment and sometimes we feel angry, we rebel and fight against it.<br /><br />I think things like this happen for a reason, we all wish to believe that we are good people and others may not see it. But believe in your core self. Believe in your core values which are positive and optimistic. Don't let anyone shake you from the happiness you have instilled within yourself. Too many times, something unfortunate will happen to you but you must not base all of your emotions and happiness on that unfortunate matter.<br /><br />I remember when I was younger, I was told not to be "too emotional" and I really disliked that phrase. It would have been better if I were told that it's okay to be emotional, just know when it's time to gather your thoughts and move forth. In reality, it's ok to cry, it's ok to feel betrayed and to hurt. Let those feeling out and have a really good cry. When you feel like you've let everything out, take a few deep breaths and channel that those energies into something that is good for you like starting on that project you've been putting off or starting that website you've always wanted to start.<br /><br />The pain might still be there but just remember that there is no eternal happiness outside of yourself. All things will pass and in due time you will gain strength and learn an important lesson =)<br /><br />best,<br />kimbundanceUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769495052951668198.post-4681404256394708592010-07-02T03:33:00.001-07:002010-07-13T12:10:34.865-07:00Fun Blog SiteHi Guys, I just found a really great blog site that I like and thought you guys might be interested too :)<br /><br /><a href="http://ariannabelle.blogspot.com/">http://ariannabelle.blogspot.com/</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769495052951668198.post-74272546104601152522010-07-02T03:31:00.001-07:002010-07-02T03:31:48.686-07:00If you guys are interested...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769495052951668198.post-14881450131264525882010-05-26T22:34:00.000-07:002010-05-26T22:49:47.165-07:00Peace of Mind<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfWZN3ptMOceSC8ANz-X4irSSKJkYTN0-dQKa9fNK4PxJFPhGxsPractEVWzG8qDgeiLen7DOaul1Z3s736KVwwYpjJNtjNve5q8WdnYxeKQa2dWTwkk9N0FifLLImhMlCNEWlLGtuTjs/s1600/IMG_8475.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfWZN3ptMOceSC8ANz-X4irSSKJkYTN0-dQKa9fNK4PxJFPhGxsPractEVWzG8qDgeiLen7DOaul1Z3s736KVwwYpjJNtjNve5q8WdnYxeKQa2dWTwkk9N0FifLLImhMlCNEWlLGtuTjs/s200/IMG_8475.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475820421911270434" border="0" /></a><br />Peace of mind is the ability to look past everything that happens in your life and knowing that your inner soul can become quiet, it can float in happy vibration into something you never knew existed. This burst of joy and life that goes beyond any realm we've ever known. When I am feeling low or incapable of reaching goodness I listen to Lauryn Hill's "Peace of Mind" song and it brings me to that place of having a clear mind, so clear that your creativity flies through the roof! It's pretty awesome! :)<br /><br />This weekend in the U.S. is Memorial Day and I think it's important that we are grateful to those who have and continue to serve our country.

I think about it in a positive way and with positive affirmations that allow me to get the most out of any situation. Some may say that life can be tough and during these times, there can be so much negative influences in the world. Which can be true, but the mind can easily change that thought process because our minds serve as some sort of supernatural powers! You might not see it right away but everything we think about because real in some form in our lives.<br /><br />I know this through experience. I have a vision board in my room and when I look at it, I envision the ideal future, situations and prosperity I would want to have happen to me. Lately, I've been seeing things in my vision board unveil. It's pretty amazing and this feeling is what I'd like to teach others and to experience with me.<br /><br />Our minds are free and capable of manifesting our most desired future. Don't let it go to waste!<br /><br />with gratitude,<br /><br />kimbundanceUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769495052951668198.post-87341097972819707502010-05-07T21:37:00.000-07:002010-07-16T18:16:22.090-07:00I Make/Sell Ladies Accessories!<div class="post_content"> <div class="post_title"> <span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">Selling in June! </span></div> <p style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">Hello,</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">I will be teaming up with one of my aunt’s who has brought some of her boutique jewelry pieces to the U.S. I will be selling items in Riverside, CA and online sometime in June 2010.</p><p style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">Also, I am in the works of putting up a new website where you can check out my Bio, Blogs, Contacts and Ladies Accessory Pieces.</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">More details to come…</p><a href="http://sprinkim.myshopify.com/">http://sprinkim.myshopify.com/</a><p style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">with gratitude,</p><blockquote style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"> </blockquote> <p><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">kimbundance</span><br /></p> </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769495052951668198.post-81128843865548909682010-04-29T18:31:00.000-07:002010-04-29T18:51:31.619-07:00Blocking The Useless Thoughts<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AnF2fL8Klvg/S9o08mBsMAI/AAAAAAAALEQ/ap-U8i7Ce_I/s1600/IMG_8951.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AnF2fL8Klvg/S9o08mBsMAI/AAAAAAAALEQ/ap-U8i7Ce_I/s200/IMG_8951.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465739313371951106" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Lately, I've been thinking about things that really have no place in my future. Fluid thoughts that easily swim into my head. These thoughts hold me back, they are the thoughts of fear, doubt, resentment and questioning; things I have no control of. It's so easy to think negative thoughts and it brings so many friends your way. However, I can't be a negative thinker! it's way to easy to be negative and much more harder to be a positive person. So, I am gonna surrender. I am gonna surrender for what I know is right.<br /><br />I've got to add more positive thoughts that are beneficial for my present moment and the future. Useless thoughts are those that make us feel weak, useless and incompetent. It's easy for these things to float into our mind. It's like a magnet force field in a sea of metal items. Therefore, being aware and blocking our negative thoughts is something that we all should practice in our daily lives. If we don't realize how many useless thoughts we create, we can ultimately create a difficult future. The choice is ours.<br /><br />with gratitude,<br />kimbundanceUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769495052951668198.post-67352136318627783022010-04-05T16:35:00.000-07:002010-04-05T16:47:05.633-07:00Spontaneity<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9LIlyCtydV0kZt6BLNrJGbUtAGhRK0UpKMnb3vZfufh_rMozKxavcsCRZlIpfJIpxnadOYjlzWkTvYUkCJkxzf0tcHDFp8qjxNQnj1oVRoeEfh_VN2mnUvn__iK9p4VQem9LdAEy6MCY/s1600/IMG_8804.JPG"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9LIlyCtydV0kZt6BLNrJGbUtAGhRK0UpKMnb3vZfufh_rMozKxavcsCRZlIpfJIpxnadOYjlzWkTvYUkCJkxzf0tcHDFp8qjxNQnj1oVRoeEfh_VN2mnUvn__iK9p4VQem9LdAEy6MCY/s200/IMG_8804.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456803522140002530" border="0" /></a><br />In life, there's usually a rubric that we all follow. We start off young, we go to school, we finish schooling if we chose to, we find a job/career and then sometimes we find a partner, get married and have kids. Usually, that's the way life unveils itself. In the middle of all that contains what I call, "Spontaneity." This is what makes that rubric of life worthwhile. If you look under the online Merriam-Webster dictionary, "Spontaneity" one definition defines it as, "Voluntary or undetermined action or movement; <em>also</em> <strong>:</strong> its source" This reminds me of being free and that's part of the reason why I think being spontaneous makes life more fun. However, there are individuals who cannot experience this because they live a busy life that doesn't allow for much spontaneous activity. If that's you, perhaps find some alone time and maybe your alone time is only during the weekends, but find time to do what you want to do and be spontaneous (in a good way!) It is then when you can really feel the power freedom, happiness and gratitude.<br /><br />with love,<br />kimbundanceUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769495052951668198.post-1500201312678241992010-03-20T15:34:00.000-07:002010-03-20T16:04:58.996-07:00"I Got You Something"<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AnF2fL8Klvg/S6VRm-_1sbI/AAAAAAAAK-8/TsazOtBL_S8/s1600-h/giving.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 225px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AnF2fL8Klvg/S6VRm-_1sbI/AAAAAAAAK-8/TsazOtBL_S8/s200/giving.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450852654189490610" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Photo Credit: www.chopra.com</span><br /></div><br />A short and simple phrase that can excite almost anyone.<br />I heard this phrase today and I believe this is one of the most generous, thoughtful and caring gestures anyone can do.<br /><br />Whether big or small that "something" is, giving is really a sign of gratitude and thoughtfulness. Sometimes we only want to receive and get things for ourselves and rarely do we give something just for the heck of it. Giving is a part of receiving, because when we give to others, we also receive in return, it's just the way the world works.<br /><br />Some simple ways to give are through donations, giving a card with a warm greeting, helping out another person, giving some good intentions to another person and lending a hand to volunteer.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">"It is every man's obligation to put back into the world at least the equivalent of what he takes out of it.</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">" </span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">-Albert Einstein</span><br /><br /><br /><br /></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769495052951668198.post-63390165882222541842010-03-18T22:02:00.000-07:002010-03-20T16:04:32.250-07:00R.I.P.

They say we process around an estimated 2,000-3,000 thoughts per day! That's a lot of energy being put into our thought process. I've heard this time and time again and I find it true, it's that<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">our thoughts create our reality</span>. How awesome is that? To me, that's one of the greatest gifts on this Earth.<br /><br />Let's say one of your major accomplishments would be to make unfathomable amounts of passive income, how can your thought process assist you with that?<br /><br />Well, you can first <span style="font-weight: bold;">envision yourself at the point of which you have already reached that plateau</span>. Imagine living your life where there is no 9-5 job required for living and you are doing what you love and living your life. Pretty nice isn't it?<br /><br />Next,<span style="font-weight: bold;"> live that accomplishment</span>, act as if you already have passive income by keeping a check in your wallet stating the amount of money you wish to receive. Write down how much you truly want and by what date you intend to have it by.<br /><br />Lastly, <span style="font-weight: bold;">state what you want</span>. If it's $2 Billion by the time you are 35 then state it out loud and tell other people. This lets the universe that this is what you truly want and believe that it will be given to you.<br /><br />This is the power of the mind and envisioning what you want. Practice this and you'll be manifesting your greatest wishes in no time.<br /><br />with much gratitude,<br />kimbundanceUnknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769495052951668198.post-17001384468200028232010-01-27T21:12:00.001-08:002010-01-27T21:43:35.950-08:00Food Consciousness!<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AnF2fL8Klvg/S2EdBI_JrtI/AAAAAAAAKFI/eeHd8QrWTA8/s1600-h/IMG_6811.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AnF2fL8Klvg/S2EdBI_JrtI/AAAAAAAAKFI/eeHd8QrWTA8/s200/IMG_6811.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431654531014962898" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">PhotoCredit: Me :)<br /></span></div><p>Today’s Oprah’s show really opened my eyes! And I must say Oprah is a credible person in my eyes because of what she’s been through and how she amazingly over-came her struggles. (Not to mention she’s a real, real hustler!)</p> <p>But getting back to today’s show. If any of you saw it today, you would know that it was about realizing where our food comes from and what we really are putting into our bodies. Short video clips from the Food Inc. documentary was shown and it was a real eye-opener. I think that a great deal of being conscious about our thoughts and actions also relate to being conscious about what we eat. I live in a Western society in which fast food and just plain<i> food </i>is made so quickly that sometimes we don’t even take a second to realize what we actually are putting into our bodies. I think we should be more conscious and understanding of where our food comes from and what it takes to make a difference in helping ourselves and animals. Organic and fresh foods<b> do</b> equal more money, but that does in turn help the millions of farmers who allow us to have healthy food on our plates. I understand that it won’t happen overnight but small steps is key. I will be part of that small step towards food consciousness and I hope that one day you will too :)</p> <p>To learn more about this topic, the DVD “Food Inc.” is selling on Amazon.com for a discounted price of $10.00 But the price will only last for a limited time, so graba copy today!</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Food-Inc-Eric-Schlosser/dp/B0027BOL4G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1264655067&sr=8-1" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.com/Food-Inc-Eric-Schlosser/dp/B0027BOL4G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1264655067&sr=8-1</a></p> <p>It all depends on our own personal choices and that which we take time to learn.</p> <p>-kimbundance</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769495052951668198.post-65880455399891275172010-01-21T23:21:00.000-08:002010-01-22T02:00:36.928-08:00Find Me On Tumblr!Hi Everyone,<br /><br />I've posted some of my mini-blogs, pictures and merchandise on: <a href="http://www.kimbundance.com/">www.kimbundance.com</a><br />Thank you for your support on blogger and I intend to see you guys on my other site as well.<br /><br />With Much Gratitude,<br />KimbundanceUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769495052951668198.post-59651175232636591152010-01-01T13:16:00.000-08:002010-01-01T13:17:21.540-08:00Setting the Right Intentions for a New Year<p><b>Welcoming this new year</b> with the right intentions is an awesome way to set yourself ahead of the game. Writing down your unlimited intentions for the new year is a way to really think and believe that you will achieve whatever it is you would like to accomplish this year. Setting the right intentions includes: being honest, true to yourself and being passionate about what you want to accomplish.</p> <p><b>What’s the difference between a goal and an intention?</b> A goal is simply a statement you would “wish” to happen. (something like a old sweater you forgot about way in the back of your closet). An intention is a stronger thought and vibrational energy put into a certain statement (something valuable that you really want every single day).</p> <p>Therefore, intentions are very powerful and a great way to start the year!</p> <p>Happy writing!</p> <p>with the best wishes, Kimbundance</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769495052951668198.post-84047392345334683442009-12-12T02:18:00.000-08:002009-12-12T02:28:34.313-08:00Your Outlooks and Your Credibility in Life.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiow5j5dfny-HFENilfuzxaF6QE6vB8hgqZj5bS6evhyphenhyphenSvrXIPS5QbON95-FiwP4467dDLKI9q-9SvFV0vb7FGID0gqKefcLQq8gkRstiKWU6dxtUm6FwnrfrAQARynwg9SILUTa3BYStY/s1600-h/04.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 158px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiow5j5dfny-HFENilfuzxaF6QE6vB8hgqZj5bS6evhyphenhyphenSvrXIPS5QbON95-FiwP4467dDLKI9q-9SvFV0vb7FGID0gqKefcLQq8gkRstiKWU6dxtUm6FwnrfrAQARynwg9SILUTa3BYStY/s200/04.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414294414073400466" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><p>One's credibility and outlook on life can both relate to one another in many ways.<br /></p><p>Credibility can mean a lot of different things to yourself and to other people. Each person you know in your life can have a certain outlook on who you are what you're all about. It's impossible to put on a mask in front of the people you've known for years. They know who you are and what you're capable of. So why is it that there are some people (who you've known for years) that you can't clearly explain what your outlook on life is all about? Why can't we tell the ones we've known (for years) that we've actually "grown-up" and that we have a different purpose in our lives.<br /></p><p>I think the answer to that is: Credibility. During the course of our lives, our thoughts and our actions either change for the good, the bad, or remain the same. Meaning, the decisions we make, the company we keep and the power of our thoughts ultimately define our credibility. </p><p>To be credible, we must first act incredible! And by incredible I mean, a beckon of light, hope and positivity. It might sound easier said than done and I agree! Changing the way you view the world takes time. Changing your thoughts, habits and actions can take a lifetime. But, that's why we have been placed on this Earth. To realize, learn and understand that we can make a difference in this worls simply by our thoughts, words and actions. </p><p><br /></p><p>I wish you all a great holiday season!</p>-kimbundanceUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769495052951668198.post-55609800001257995062009-11-26T11:14:00.000-08:002009-11-26T11:25:17.369-08:00Gratitude on the Day of Thanks<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AnF2fL8Klvg/Sw7T13l17vI/AAAAAAAAJh0/zkvvQNewuwo/s1600/tgiving.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 197px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AnF2fL8Klvg/Sw7T13l17vI/AAAAAAAAJh0/zkvvQNewuwo/s200/tgiving.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408493124927745778" border="0" /></a><br />(click on except to read, thanks!)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769495052951668198.post-89138242663891366722009-11-07T13:46:00.000-08:002010-03-09T00:46:57.876-08:00Tough Bananas<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPnmFHeucndViZUxixIwmWtkntvf7ajSv_wmzne8qtxdlLaCc-3MQ_WFvVI0vlusZgcAgAnUXjbTwh2hmM02jDuicQvggUD91XWUJnlQMTZu9AWFCAMHwySIq-dmw9U0BN04vxsjp7FCk/s1600-h/we-can-do-it-rosie-the-riveter.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 157px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPnmFHeucndViZUxixIwmWtkntvf7ajSv_wmzne8qtxdlLaCc-3MQ_WFvVI0vlusZgcAgAnUXjbTwh2hmM02jDuicQvggUD91XWUJnlQMTZu9AWFCAMHwySIq-dmw9U0BN04vxsjp7FCk/s200/we-can-do-it-rosie-the-riveter.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401481414252680034" border="0" /></a><br /> Trying to become a tough person nowadays can be a bit challenging especially for a young lady. We are bombarded with excessive media schemes about looking like this or feeling like that... that it begins to make young women feel less than special.<br /><br />I think that the school system should really teach classes about self-development, managing money and investing at an earlier age. There's much more to life outside of school and sometimes I even forget that and I get caught up with final deadlines, midterms and group projects.<br /><br />I really believe that being in school is also a test to see what other skills you have. What is it that you do outside of school that brings one joy and passion is also something we must notice because one day, school will be over and the school of life will continue.<br /><br />So don't shy away from doing things that you love to do, even if other people tell you otherwise<br />=) Happy weekend all!<br /><br />-kimbundanceUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769495052951668198.post-6635591972937577242009-10-18T23:56:00.000-07:002009-10-19T00:15:15.585-07:00Adult Appreciation<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AnF2fL8Klvg/StwRUreLP9I/AAAAAAAAJg0/vXXI9mkUcJ8/s1600-h/IMG_3898.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AnF2fL8Klvg/StwRUreLP9I/AAAAAAAAJg0/vXXI9mkUcJ8/s200/IMG_3898.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394205500647358418" border="0" /></a><br />I guess (at my age of 22) we 20ish ages don't really know what important roles that older adults play in our lives. For example, over the weekend, I was sitting at an outdoor table, minding my own business-eating some dinner when a married couple in their late 50's sat besides me. We of course began talking about the ice breaker of all convo's---"the weather" which I don't mind talking about at all. I love talking about the weather! Then, we just started talking and it was getting really interesting but then other people entered the convo, so the topic started to merge into Filipino Americans and the differences between life in the U.S. and life in the P.I. An interesting topic indeed.<br /><br />I also had another convo with my aunt in her late 20's and she had a whole different topic to talk about with college and marriage. It was very interesting and kept me motivated for more school.<br />Time literally just flies when you're in a really good convo. There ought to be days obligated to just talking to other people and hearing their stories! =)<br /><br />So I think it's important to listen to what other people have to say because you never know- that complete stranger can completely enlighten you and make you think of things you've never thought of before. Life needs knowledge, experiences and happiness and most of the time, you can find that in other people. If you have an open mind, don't judge others and stay positive, then you might just learn about so many other important things in life.<br /><br />Life seems to be moving at 90mph and deep down I love it but I also wish I could be there for more of my loved ones and friends even though I'm caught up with schoolwork.<br /><br />with gratitude,<br />kimbundanceUnknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769495052951668198.post-70195277440862997482009-10-06T19:20:00.000-07:002009-12-14T14:08:37.929-08:00A Picture Can Tell a Thousand Words<a style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AnF2fL8Klvg/SswAQIlLKmI/AAAAAAAAJgg/n8afqMUckL0/s1600-h/IMG_2366.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AnF2fL8Klvg/SswAQIlLKmI/AAAAAAAAJgg/n8afqMUckL0/s200/IMG_2366.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389683131236952674" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I love to take pictures and I love it even more when pictures turn out amazingly nice!
