The Lobby Days/ The Rescue

Currently Listening to: "Sunshine" by Matt Costa then switched to "12:59 Lullaby" by Bedouin Soundclash


The Rescue in Orange County was truly amazing. I am glad I had the opportunity to volunteer and meet awesome people. I took many videos and pictures but that can not replace the memories I had that night. I danced, sang, talked, walked, and felt great with my friends...something that will always be imprinted in my heart. So, many people uniting together for the same cause and same hope. Strangers that later turned into friends. Stories undiscovered , but now discovered. I wish I could just hit the replay button and go back...but I know I can (well through memories.) World Wide, same night=EPIC.

During the same night my favorite quote from all time was recited by Melissa Fitzgerald: "Never doubt that a small, group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."Margaret Mead

Can it be?people uniting together as a whole, the way it should be on one EPIC event . It can be.
Can it be?coming across strangers later developing friendships you will never forget. It can be.
Can it be?the chills you get when you know you are part of history in the making. It can be.
Can it be?the energy that surrounds you with people fighting for the same cause. It can be.
Can it be?the way someone looks at you right in the eye, or says you are the movement. It can be.
Can it be?the songs that fill up the night from the children. It can be.
Can it be? You and I eager for change and willing to pursue it. It SHALL be.

STAY STRONG RESCUE RIDERS.....be safe.

So, today, Vanesa and I created a presentation for our parents about the Lobby Days for IC, we worked hard on it and it looked pretty legit. We had hope and faith in ourselves that this will work. And well....it didn't really...due to the trip to London for band the same week, they don't think it can become a possibility. So, Vanesa and I are going to try to raise money for this trip no matter, what. Our teacher called us insane...but still supporters us. I am more determined more than ever to go to Washington, D.C. I can only hope, pray, wish and do something about it.

In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart there is the power to do it.

Until again...

Peace. Love. Faith. Hope. God.

A LITTLE PEAK INTO My DAILY JOURNAL..

Reach out.

I am not sure who reads, this but hi :) anyways.The picture above is just a sketch of something blurry, can you read it? its pretty easy.

I am considering.... no wait....I want to become a roadie for Invisible Children, my greatest inspirations are the children, my generation who is eager for change, the roadies; Ash and Orion,and Jason, Bobby, and Laren. So for these past days/weeks, I have been busy with Invisible Children. And I believe that everyone should know about this non-profit organization,to WHY its so vital to our generation, because we are the future. We all need to take care of our world, and we are all intertwined together, so why not start now, with Invisible Children.

Be open to those who are struggling, and create hope for them. It is truly amazing to what you can do, even if it may be a small gesture, it can lift them up, its good for your soul. Open your mind and expand your vision for hope. What does hope mean to you? See it through.

There is light shining through the end of their dark tunnel for these Invisible Children, hope and love. Be their light of hope. Go to invisible children.com

I am super stoked for The Rescue of Joseph Kony's Child Soldiers. April 25, 2009, babyy!

In 4 more days...I am going to volunteer :)

Peace, Faith, Love, and God

New Point

I haven't been on in a couple of months but....I am sitting in this comfy computer chair, yet it hurts my back, and hearing the sounds of this black keyboard, going click, click, click. Okay, so I was just rambling but .....For some real odd reason my eyes has been opened wide, with realization stirred into it. I feel at times I waste time, and ignore chances I can get, because sometimes I don't have faith in myself (to be honest, and I know its important to have faith), at times. But then, of course there is always someone who motivates you to take that chance, and who supports you, and makes life better. Embrace everything that God gives you weather its a burden or a blessing. Courage, disappointment, disrespect, judgment, love, and feelings, surround us.... every second of our lives. Some are hard to deal with and yet easy.

To my new point, I view the world differently now. I love life no matter what. If something goes bad, or wrong, there is always something towards the end of the day, a light shining through the corner, or voice calling you to get back, and appreciate, and realize how wonderful life can be.

"Events, make up our lives.
Dreams make up our lives.
Hope makes up our lives.
Memories make up our lives.
Happiness makes life.
Love makes it revolve.
Experiences makes us grow stronger in life.
Change is part of our life.
Courage is one of the ultimate factors in life.
So go ahead and live your life.
Without fear, but with everything you have, with being yourself."

There is always someone who you want to get to know. Because you know that deep down they are worth figuring out, not a waste of time. You can't do anything really to pick destiny, or events, you have to let it come naturally. Even though you plan it it, it may not be the result you want, but sometime the time will come,and in the end it can result to a new possibility.

New day tomorrow, another wonderful day for living. I don't know where I would be with out my dad and mom, I love them.

Peace, Love, and God,
