One Love




In the light of recent (and old) silly family disputes: arguing and showing hate and spitefulness towards one another (you know who you are), this song should put you all in a state of mind and make you think of what you are doing to the people who love you.
Even though this song was meant for all the hardships, wars, and hatred humans have inflicted upon each other, all problems arise from one place: Our own home. If there is no love, there is no understanding, no comfort, no affection or support.
Love protects; preserves and hopes for the positive aspects of life. We need to understand each other and must always remember that no body is perfect.  Be together, share your joy and sorrow, understand each other, provide space to each other, but always be there for each others need.

This entry is directed to particular people in my life, but everyone should take home a message.

Let someone special in your life know how much you love and appreciate them.

Peace, and unconditional love xoxo

Is it getting better, or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame
You say...

One love, one life
When it's one need in the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it

Did I disappoint you, or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's...

Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head

Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing, Now it's all I got
We're one, But we're not the same
Well we hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other

One...life

One

Where Do All Roads Lead To?

I chose to start this blog, to keep in touch with family and friends. It's hard to keep in touch when no one is in your line of sight. I hope you will enjoy reading my thoughts, grumpiness, adventures, random ideas and contemplations and jolly jives!   This month, I am applying for jobs in the environmental field while taking classes, working two jobs (that don’t pay mucho) and figuring out my life. IT SUCKS MONKEY A$$! Why have I not been hired yet? Maybe I am not applying to the right places, maybe I don’t know what I really want, or maybe I am not ready yet. I do have an advantage on my peers though: I have three times the cultural experiences than them (Thank you mom and daddy)! Don’t experiences make us who we are today? Who we are to become some day? Boy, I hope I like that person. My question is…Where do the roads we take lead us to? I have no flippin’ idea, although I have stopped to Frustratown a few times, they invited me back, and I wish not to go again… I chos

The Runners

Since moving to Korea, I have encountered  people who have come here and after a couple of years of living, have decided to make it their permanent home, and not return. They are called "Lifers". Some stay because they've met someone, or a person who has the same affinity for the country, or met a native, or simply enjoyed what the lifestyle had to offer as opposed to what they knew was awaiting upon their return back home. Being a "Lifer" however comes with these notions that anyone who travels for a year or more, or isn't interested in working just yet or getting married,  must  be running away from something. They are running away from life, escaping it. They must have been leading miserable, awful lives back home, or experienced a traumatic event that made them want to never look back. People assume that people who travel long term are running away from problems, from the inevitability of life. My own family and friends have asked me "Are you su

Water Bodies

This entry is a continuation of my October 12th entry “Water Bottles Are No Good”. The information below can be found in full in: Bottled Water: How drinking tap water can help save you and the planet by Lucie Wanctin for Sustain: The Alliance for Better Food and Farming .  How much water should we drink? The advice given is to drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water per day. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the drinking quantity needed depends on your age, physical activity, your diet, health, and gender. The recommended volume of water (which can also be absorbed though foods and other beverages) required for hydration, based on the WHO is: Female Adult: 2.2 litres/day Male Adult: 2.9 litres/day Children: 1.0 litre/day Manual labour in high temperature: Female Adult: 4.5 litres/day  Male Adult: 4.5 litres/day Children: 4.5 litres/day Pregnancies/Lactation: 4.8 litres/day; 3.3 litres/day respectively Where is water from and what is in it?
