Paramore's Breakup

First, let me start off by saying I'm not a fan. not because i don't like them but because they never appealed to me. but it's amazing how once "someone's" gone, they become more famous (i.e. michael jackson...)

but what really caught my attention was their determination to stick to their values. read first > Josh and Zac's Exit Statement

Of course, at times they had their disagreements, and their obstacles, as well as some wrong decisions which they let others make for them, but through it all they kept to their values. and in the end, it's exactly that which parted the band. many times in life, you have to make sacrifices for what you believe in. and those obstacles (for which you might have to make sacrifices for) challenge you and your ways. that is what determines whether or not you really are what you proclaim to be.

Paramore made some amazing music that inspired many with their great lyrics, and they still do...and will continue to do so i believe. And even now that half the group has left, they still impact people (i.e. me)

From my point of view, and my values, their ability to continue to work for the glory of God is what inspired me the most. Even through Hollywood and the music industry and touring the world, they still managed to keep to their beliefs, and that got to me. If they can go through all that and still manage to worship God, then why can't I live my life doing the same?

Christmas Eve

It's almost Christmas! Millions of people will all be huddled together, drinking their hot coco, and singing holiday cheer- lol, jk!
Little kids will be screaming at 4 in the morning that santa claus came! they'll be waking up their parents, who will not be in the mood to go downstairs. then, they'll go to the christmas tree and start yanking open gifts, leaving wrapping paper all over the place to be picked up later...and blah blah blah!
*sigh* sadly, this christmas season was a little disappointing. there wasn't much holiday cheer, and it came too fast for my speed. . . but either way, I need to make my own christmas cheer, put a big smile on my face and enjoy it!! I'm still not looking forward til after christmas because then there won't be anymore christmas music on the radio, but i'll live and wait til next year...a.whole.entire.year.
till tomorrow, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

What Ever Happened to Purity? or Marriage?!

first off,
hello there! I haven't been on for a while, because I've been doing all my midterms, but now they're done and i have winterbreak!! yay!
now that I have explained my absence, let me tell you whats been on my mind lately.
I have been seeing so many commercials for so many movies and they're all sex sex, and more sex!
i'm like, wth?! seriously, whatever happened to purity? or marriage for heaven's sake!!
some examples of these movies include Love and Other Drugs , No Strings Attached , and Friends With Benefits.
what has this world come to?
is that what's "in" now? friends with benefits?!
the reason this bothers me so is because i think people no longer have morals in life... they're giving themselves up like nothing. yeah yeah, people think sex is nothing more than a kiss, but it's truly not. back in the days, that was the threshold in a marriage. By giving yourself to the person you loved was meaningful. nowadays, it's just .. nothing.

My Point of View on why someone should wait till marriage:
  • if you decide to give yourself up before marriage, and go sleeping around with every guy who has ever claimed to "love" you, when it comes to the man you end marrying, what happens if he's bad? that's a big issue: if you sleep with other men, you will compare your husband to other men. and thats horrible!! what if he's bad at it? then you'll be all "he isn't as good as (insert name here)" and that a could be a huge problem in a marriage.
  • then people say, "what if i loose my virginity to my fiance?" that's a big issue that many people find to be not a big deal. and in a way, it all depends on your morals and values. (personally, my morals {being a Christian} tell me to wait til marriage). but if you're contemplating on whether or not it's bad, consider this: your purity is like a trophy that is waiting for you at the finish line. and you've ran, and had many obstacles to get there and once you cross the finish line you'll get the trophy and give it to someone who means so much to you, that you're willing to share it. (not a very good example, but eh). OR think of it this way: if you do sleep with your fiance, what more do you have to give him once you're married? what will you give him once he's been bonded to your side for the rest of your life? the night of your wedding will be the same thing as the other night after the movie. consider it like that: you're finally giving everything to your husband after your marriage.
well, that was my point of view on everything. i hope to see a good movie soon... one with morals and shii. that'll be good.

ChristmasSeason

the holidays are here!
the one time in the whole year where everyone can smile even if the world is falling down around them. sad to though, i don't think this will be one the 'best' christmas' on my list this year- for many, personal reasons.
yet, i put a smile on my face- I've come to get good at that.
and i like to just put my head out the window and feel the cold air whipping my face.

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanza/Hanakuh, and a Happy New Year!
Love, Camila

dont ask me who that it, because i have no idea. i saw this on my favorite blog.
i love her...follow her too?
check it out, its super cute :)

Too much.

my head's been spinning in circles lately. my brain has been unstoppable. there's been so much on my mind. i want it to end- but then i don't. i wish life was easier. i wish it wasn't so hard. i wish God could just enlighten me, and not let this happen. If this isn't suppose to happen, then why let it happen. i'm throwing out so many thoughts right now, and my apology for not making any sense. i'm so tired of it all.
why. why. why. why. why.
i hate asking life that question, because it pointless. its like asking a rock to be your pet.
