Captive Market

This article holds dear to my heart. Ive worked in Cheb before, going out on the streets and into the brothels and ghettos to give a hand to these girls who are entangled in prostitution.
I really believe we need to become more aware of what is happening in the world around us. It is a long article, but I suggest to read it because I believe it helps gives a voice for these girls and boys who do not have a voice for themselves as well as combating ignorance and apathy that are deep rooted in the ultimate reactions to human trafficking. So often we forget that we can make a difference, we have the priviledge of being safe and loved and having basic rights that every human deserves.

This article was written in 2006, before I went to Cheb. I can tell you many stories in depth of how this city I believe is changing for the better or if your'e just curious of what it is like. I have many pictures of Cheb, but they are all analog, but when I have the chance, maybe I'll scan some online. Also the one thing I think the writer left out is how we can personally make a difference. I have a friend who went to Ethiopia and just recently helped a few girls out of prostitution and assisting them by opening a coffee shop. I also know someone who is living and working in Cheb to help the people. If you are interested in giving back to people making a difference in these ladies lives, seriously, even if its just $15, let me know!

M.I.A

So much for this blog, eh? Reason being, my keyboard is broken and I have been busy with work, hence the lack or Blog posts! I am planning on buying myself a lovely white little mac soon (I would go for the pro, but well, I'm paying and I'm cheap), so once I get that in place, I'll join back in the cyberspace fun!

Ta ta for now!

Mooooovie Review: Little Ashes.

Worse delivery then "Marie Antoinette", filmmaking was parallel to "When In Rome", costume design was laughable, the actors were pretty awful...
Oh poor, El Salvador Dali! How he was put to shame...

I vaguely remember yelling at the screen with my arm in the air a few times it was so unbelievably horrendous.

Two perks: I did take away that someone should make more movies on artists, (kind of like Meet the Masters in school, but much more thought out then this one) and I didn't feel like I wanted to die like I did after seeing "Revolutionary Road".

I would usually say go see it, just for a ridiculous laugh, but it was over two hours long and you would regret spending your money on it.




To remember him how I'm sure he would rather be remembered:

Long time no blog

Hello friends, I've actually been busy this week!
I'm currently too lazy to start another blog, so maybe once I'm not living in orange county and my life becomes eventful, then I'll have more to write about. Anyways, I'm off to the beach now!!

Here we go

So, I realized my blog keeps on flip flopping from personal entries to things I find and like online..... I get really confused on what I want to write on...

SO, this one will just be for my personal entries again....

and I'm starting one just for fun about photography, fashion & fun finds

yay. I'll post the link once I write an entry...




Funny story:
Yesterday I was at my job training and I was introducing myself to this girl and she was like
"I know you, I remember you and your sisters performing in the Trabuco Mesa Talent show"

Let me just let you know that I get this alot, it's the strangest thing.
Really, when I die, I'm pretty sure this is how I would be remembered. We performed when I was in Kindergarden, first and second grade and apparently that is our family legacy to the local community... I owe it all to our lovely stage mom.
