Friday: Keep The Baby; Weight Loss; Jealousy

Happy New Year! I hope you're all excited for the new year, I know I am. I can't wait for new changes, new additions to my family and the new things to come in my life for the new year. I'll be ending the year with Friday Advice and will start the new year writing about what I hope happens. Onto my advice!

I'm in need of lots of help
I'm pregnant with a little girl..yes i am fourteen and a freshman but the dads 16 and a sophomore and he promised to help me through everything even if we break up but I still don't know if i should keep her or put her up for adoption. If I keep her I'm going to name her Paiton. When I told my parents they looked at me then walked upstairs and put all of my stuff in bags and said I hope you have a great life with you new family but its now time to say goodbye to your old one. And now I live with my boyfriend and his amazing family and they said that the baby can have the room connecting to mine and my boyfriends sisters can share a room. So basically just tell me what to do with my life.

Dear Anonymous
You have to do what's best for the baby and what's best for the baby is giving her the best chance at a good life. If you can give her a good life with a stable home then keep her but if you can't then look into adoption and find a couple that can give her a good life and a stable home to live in. It's not just your life anymore it's her's. I was once told that love is choosing the higher good for the other person at the risk of losing them. Just something I thought I'd share with you.

Looking Back at Me

High school was a wondrous time for me. I made new friends, I met some interesting people, learned some fascinating things and also figured out who I was. I stood my ground on everything I believed in and I didn't get pushed around by anyone. Although drama was hard to steer clear of, I managed to do so for half of my high school career. Freshman and sophomore year weren't my best years because of boys and me causing drama. But with the drama, I realized who my true friends were.

Family Parties!

This happens when I'm with my other other family
Over the weekend, most of us spent it with our family and friends. Christmas Eve I spent it with my Mom's "Family" her family is in the Philippines so the people that were over were the people she considered her family and I consider them my family as well. Christmas Day I spent it with my dad's family. I love spending time with both families and I wish it happened more than once a year. Although sometimes once a year together is plenty because my family is so full of drama and news travels fast in the family.  And we're a big family, I have 20 first cousins and even more second and third cousins.
I highly enjoy sitting around my Grandparent's living room and talking to my cousin. Actually I feel that as we got older we moved from the bedrooms to the living room thus making the house feel crowded and really hot when it's freezing outside. The beautiful thing is that we're all together and we're not fighting. For once actually we all agreed on one thing: my cousin's engagement was probably not the best idea he has had but who love him and we support him. It seems that every year my family seems to grow more and more and to me it's a beautiful thing.
Be Beautiful For You!

Friday: He Smokes; Back to the Ex; Age Problem?

Happy Holidays everyone! I hope you guys have a wonderful weekend with friends and family. My treat to you is just some advice. Sorry it's not a giveaway or anything like that. Maybe next year. :)

Anonymous Asked:
I like this guy but he smokes, and I would never do that. 
What do I do? Get over him? He also hangs out with people who smoke.

Dear Anonymous
Just because he does, doesn't mean he'll make you if you happen to date him. Especially if he cares about you.
When I was 16 my first boyfriend smoked, and did drugs but I never did. One because I stuck to what I believed in and two because he didn't want me to do any of those things because he knew they were bad and although he knew they were bad he still did them anyway.
From my own experience I would say get over him but that's really up to you. I was always worried about my ex when we were dating because sometimes he didn't even come to school or his friends influenced him to skip classes and I was just always worried. If you want to talk about it more feel free to message me.

Time of The Month

We all dread that time of the month; you know the time when Aunt Flo comes to visit and it's a dreadful occasion. Yes, that is what I am talking about. The cramps, the bloating, the uncomfortable pads and/or tampons and just the feeling of it all together isn't the best feeling in the world. In fact, I'll stay in bed most of the day and just watch reruns of Merlin or Roswell. Haha I do that when I'm home anyway.
There are plenty of ways to deal with this time and I find that during my time, I crave chocolate more than ever and I have chocolate like everyday even when I'm not on my period. I also tend to be even more lazier than I already am. And with the ovarian cyst I have my cramps are horrible although being on the pill lessens the pain.

Took The Week Off

If you didn't know I try really hard to post on my blog Monday-Friday but I took last week off because I was so tired and I really wasn't sure what to blog about as well. I also spent the week doing a lot of thinking and going over my life and the guys in it so for a few days I was an emotional wreck. I'm slightly better, had to do somethings that were a little hard to do but that's life.
Life is about doing things you have to do even if you don't want to do it. That's what we like to call the real world. Not the MTV TV show, although I did really like The Real World Cancun; Joey Rozmus was my favorite person on that show. Anyway, I just thought I'd say that I am back but don't expect a blog post everyday. However I would like to try my hardest to post Monday-Friday and I would really appreciate it if you do comment so I know someone is out there reading my blog. Whether you liked it or not, I'd love some feedback.
I write my blogs to maybe help a little and I want to know if in some way I am being helpful.

Friday: Baby Daddy Issues, Figuring Out If He's The One, Stay with Him?

Happy Friday! And Happy End of Finals for some College Students! I was done yesterday and I found out today that I passed all my classes. Yay for me!

A_Tahe Asked:
I'm having a baby in March and already having Daddy Issues.
Okay well I've been planning to move in with my boyfriend he has his own place and it'll be good for the baby, he wants me to move in like really really wants me to! But the problem is that he always has his friends over like everyday they even stay there sometimes like its their house!
They party there and smoke a lot, sometimes a fight will break out for no reason at all because they're all drunk. (i know what your thinking what kind of bf is he huh? but hes my baby's daddy and i love him no matter how twisted he is)
I never say anything because its not my place. I know it wont be good for the baby if he keeps this up, I just don't know the best way to talk to him about a lot of people being there.
I just wanna know what would you do in my situation?


Dear A_Tahe
In this situation I would tell him that if he wants me to live there then things are going to have to change. His friends can come over but they can't stay. No more smoking inside, limiting on drinking and stuff like that because it's not good for you to be around while you're pregnant and you want to create an environment that you can bring the baby to live in and it's safe for that baby. Think about the baby more than him or you because that's your life now and I'm sure you already know that.

My Guys: Kenny

I am so thrilled to call this amazing guy my friend. He's probably my favorite person to brag about because he's so adorable, crazy fun and unpredictable. He dreams big and he is a dreamboat ;) but the best part of Kenny is his heart.
We met in the ninth grade, we had a lot of classes together all through high school and he's always been there for me just like I'm always there for him but then again I've always had a soft spot for him.

Holiday Sugar Cookies

I love making sugar cookies especially since chocolate chip cookies are out of the question because my cousin makes the best chocolate chip cookies so I decided I'd go for sugar cookies because I can cut them out any way I want. Today I made sugar cookies with one of my oldest friend's Tyler because he'll be leaving for BYU at the end of the month. He just got back from his Mission back in October so this was the first time since he's been back that I get to hang out with him without other people.
Anyway, the recipe we used can be found here. And let me say that they were soft and chewy but we had some problems with the dough, it was a little too sticky but we added about a cup more of flour and it was good after that. We had fun though, talking, catching up on life, remembering high school and some of the crazy things out friends did.
I highly suggest baking with a friend, boyfriend or girlfriend because it can be a great experience.

Other Half ♥

Right now I am in this phase where I know who I am, I love who I am but I feel like something is missing. Furthermore, I've come to conclusion I want to find my other half and maybe I have. I've had fun flirting and meeting some awesome guys but I'm ready to "settle down." I'm not ready to be married but I'm ready to be in a real relationship where it can possibly turn to marriage.
So what I am looking for? I'm going to be very honest with whoever is reading this, I made a list all throughout high school. And it's not like what color eyes he has or what color hair he has or anything that detailed. It's who he is and what he does to me mentally, emotionally and possibly physically. Sure I want to be able to stare in his eyes, and run my fingers through his hair but I want to connect with him more than anything.
I said in a previous post that when you know yourself, and love yourself then you know what your other half is suppose to be for you.  My dad knew he found his other half when he met my mom. I know it won't always be like that but I'm pretty sure in your mind you know when you've found that person who you can see yourself having a lifetime of memories together. I don't know if I'm writing this because I believe I've found that guy or if I'm writing this because I feel like I need to get my thought out there.
I highly believe in soul-mates and I know mine is there. Our love will be beautiful.

Friday: First Time Mistake, He's Texting the Ex, Boyfriend with Cancer?

First, I want to say Happy Birthday to my good friend Paul and my beautiful cousin Chloe; they both turned 21 today and I am so excited that I finally have someone to drink for the rest of the Holiday season.
Now let's get on with my advice for this week. :) Happy December!

Anonymous Asked:
Did I make a big mistake? Please I need help.
I dated this boy 2 years ago for a while, but he broke up with me. We have been of and on since then. I am still in love with him and want to be with him. We never 'officially' got together but we did stuff and hung out and talked like we were.
A few weeks ago I went to a party with him, and we had sex. It was my first time, but not his. I thought that if I did it with him then he would want to get back together but I was wrong.
We talked the day after and he told me he didn't want a relationship. I love him and want to be with him. I think I made a mistake though, losing my virginity to him.
I can't talk to anyone about this so can you please help me!? Did I make a mistake? What should I do?


Dear Anonymous
You lost your virginity to someone you love but didn't love you back. Yes, it was a mistake but there's really nothing you can do about it now. The only thing you can do is wait for someone who loves you and you love them before you should have sex again.
I'm sorry this had to happen to you. No girl deserves that especially during their first time.
Try your best to get over this guy because he doesn't deserve you. He is not worthy of what you offered him.

Gift Ideas

It's that time of the year, the time for giving, and maybe even some receiving? If you're anything like me, you enjoy giving gifts more than receiving them but you have a hard time figuring out what to get your friends, family, and/or significant other. So I've come up with a few ideas for the women in your life and for the men in your life. All ideas are different prices and for different types of people.

Love is Not Overrated by Patrick Smith

So a few years ago I went to Washington Business Week at Western Washington University; Business Week is a business camp for high school students. While I was there I made some pretty awesome friends and met a lot of people. One of them was a camp counselor sort of person and during Business Week there was a talent show and one counselor, Patrick, wrote and recited this poem entitled Love...is Not Overrated; I thought I'd share it with you.

Friday: Abuse vs. Love, Makeup vs. Age, Love vs. Fighting

It's Black Friday! I shopped for two hours this morning and went to sleep the rest of the day. Now I'm ready to party. But first some advice.

Anonymous Asked:
Is it worth it to be in an abusive relationship even if you love them more than your next breath?
I love my man with all my heart but some days are good and some are horrible. We fight and scream and sometimes we get physical. I may have disabilities but I'm not stupid. I think he's met someone. he always comes up with excuses to come home late and he expects me to sit and wait for him. We haven't spent any time together cause he's always busy; from picking at his nails to staying outside for ours doing I don't know what. i hate that he smokes and has a temper. i don't do anything wrong. he meets new people everyday. It's his job. but I don't trust him. He's lied to me for 4 years. What makes me think he's stopped being a lying cheating druggie?

Dear Anonymous
No matter how much you love the person, you have to think about the love you have for yourself. They say the one who loves the least has the most control. Why stay with someone who doesn't love you as much as you love them when there's someone out there who won't hurt you emotionally or physically and will love you the way you would love them.
For me, the second a guy hits me then it's not worth it.

My Guys: Blaine

Blaine and I have known each other since seventh grade, so about eight years now. We met in P.E and I moved into his neighbor after seventh grade. So he's been right around the corner from me for seven years. In other words, he's been my best friend for that long as well. Blaine and I did like each other in high school but never really did anything about it.
Actually, I broke his heart when I got my first boyfriend. For the longest time I had waited for Blaine to make a move and to ask me out but it never happened so I went out with someone else. He was a good boyfriend but it was hard because Blaine and I were trying to make our friendship work even though he was still heartbroken and there were times when all I did was worry about Blaine because he did tell me that I broke him.
I broke my best friend because I was dating someone else and because his heart was broken so was mine. It took awhile but we got back to our friendship. Due to what happened then, I highly believe that our friendship is strong enough to overcome anything and everything. Our friendship may not always be pretty but it's beautiful to me.

Facebook Chat

A lot of us currently have Facebook and with Facebook comes Facebook Chat. We all want to talk to the cute guy at school over Facebook but we are kind of shy to make it happen yet we just keep wishing he would talk to us first, am I right?
Of course I am because I am a girl and I have those wishes/thoughts too.
So here are some things to keep in mind when on Facebook chat.
~Facebook chat is also used for messaging/email so don't freak if the person takes awhile to reply.
~Don't assume they'll be on facebook for long. Some people just quickly look through updates, or update their facebook
~If you don't have their number get it so you can continue the conversation
~Don't force the conversation, let it flow like a river.
~Use the emoticons! They make the conversation entertaining
~As much as a hassle it may be, try to use proper grammar and punctuation
~Don't limit yourself to chatting on Facebook, chat with them in person because that is way better

Power Outage.

As it gets colder in the Northwest, it also starts to rain even more. As much as I love the rain, I don't like when it disrupts my day. However, today was an exception because I had the best hour and a half without lights. Although the first 15 minutes weren't that great because I had no idea what to do. But as you might have guessed, everything is better with the lights off. ;)
There are limited things to do but when you have friends like mine then you have flirty boys, dirty jokes and other things I probably shouldn't mention. But one thing that I enjoyed today was what happened during the power outage.

Part of My Life: Thoughts at Dinner

Today I had a last minute dinner with my two close friends Blaine and Austin. We just ate at Wendy's and talked about me because I love telling them about what has been going on in my life since we don't really see each other as often as I'd like. Blaine and Austin work and Blaine also has a new girlfriend who lives a couple hours away so he keeps going back and forth for this girl I haven't even met but I'll go into that in my Blaine blog post later this week.

My Boyfriend's mom doesn't like me. 
He hasn't formally introduced us, we've just sort have run into each other. And she speaks to my mom and seems to like her.
But my boyfriend said that she doesn't like me but I'm "acceptable"
I don't know how to take this, I haven't done anything wrong, I'm polite, I always want to meet the but my bf "forgets."
And, last year she told my mom that she wanted to invited me to their BBQ but my bf told her i couldn't come because I had stuff to do. He never mentioned any to it to me. :(

Well you can always ask her to lunch sometime just the two of you. Ask your mom for her number and give her a call yourself that way you don't have to go through your boyfriend just in case he "forgets."

My Guys: Henry

Have you ever had that friend who was kind of a dork? That's Henry. He's a cute dork but dork none the less. He tries to be cool listening to rap and rock but he's a smart boy. He wants to live a good life. You can't tell by looking at him but he's not as innocent as you may think him to be. In fact there are somethings that he has done that I like to pretend he didn't do at all.
Henry and I use to hang out every Sunday and watch NCIS on DVD. While he watched, I made us a tasty treat of brownies or cookies to snack on.  He would stay for hours just to watch it with me and we'd fight for the best spot to sit on the couch. We tried to watch something different like Supernatural but he got scared. Which is funny because that show makes me laugh sometimes.
When you spend a lot of time with someone it is true that you do start to develop some feelings for them; Henry and I had some feelings for each other but never went off on them. Is that the right phrase? Oh well. Sometimes through it is better to be friends and keep what you have then to risk losing it. I would never want to lose what Henry and I had because we had some good times together. I feel comfortable with Henry. It doesn't matter what I wear because he's seen me when I looked like crap. When you find a friend you're comfortable with you don't lose them.

Spice It Up

Point Defiance ZooLights
I was talking to my new friend Brent, or as I like to call him Calvin. He was telling me that him and his girlfriend were planning a date on Saturday to see the new Twilight movie. And that got me to thinking that they need something more especially since it was just their nine month anniversary. So I looked at him and I said "Calvin you two should go to Zoo Lights when it opens." He didn't know what Zoo Lights were. Zoo Lights is basically the Zoo opened at night with pretty lights and stuff during the holiday season. I've never gone personally but I plan to go this year with my best friend.

KaleighRaeRichmond Asked
Boyfriend? Or Best Friend?
Me and this guy have always been close friends. we were best friends in elementary school and were close through middle school. now we really like each other, but is it worth risking a great friendship? 

Dear KaleighRaeRichmond
That really depends on your friendship. If you believe that no matter what you'll still be friends then go for it but you think your friendship can survive a possible break up between the two of you then don't.
One of my close friends dated her best friend, who also happened to be one of my close friends. We all knew that one day they'd started dating. They dated for a few months and then broke up because they wanted different things. It made their friendship a little rocky afterwords but now they're still best friends.
It really depends on how your friendship is.
A few years ago my best friend said he wanted to be more than friends but I didn't feel the same way. Again, our friendship after that was a little rocky but now we're still the best of friends.
If you both agree that you two will still remain best friends if a break up happens if you two were to date then take that risk because it could turn into something that will last a lifetime.

My Guys: Paul

I met Paul in the seventh grade and when I met him he wasn't as outspoken as he is now. Actually Paul seemed pretty shy but as the years went by I realized, he's not shy at all. Paul is adorable with shaggy brown hair, piercing eyes, and the sweetest smile. He's that guy that says "That's what she said" at the perfect time and has a few sexist jokes but he makes a great boyfriend. Although I wouldn't know, I just know how he treats his ladies. I say that in the kindest way.
Now Paul and I don't have a normal friendship. We annoy each other like crazy but still care so much about each other. I like to say we fight like an old married couple and we've been together for 30 years. He's a sports guy, he loves baseball and his favorite team is the Yankees. Never dis his Yankees because it will not be pretty.
If you like a guy like Paul then you have to know that he'll want to be in control, not scary control, but he'll want to wear the pants in the relationship because he is a guy's guy. He likes his girls beautiful, smart and funny. He's very full of himself but it's kind of attractive. He's sincerely one of my favorite people to spend my time with. He's beautiful and he makes me smile wide. He's the beauty in my life.

You Were My Friend

Have you ever lost touch with a friend? I have, I've lost touch with a lot of my friends after graduating from high school. It's sad but we all go in different directions. Some of my friends went to different colleges and some of my friends moved to different states. It's all part of growing up. But you know true friends can grow separately without growing apart. Or that's what I've been told and from my own experience it is true.
My best friend, Janna, moved away to Utah over a year ago, mostly because of her family. If it was up to her, she'd still live here in Washington. She has a new life in Utah and is still adjusting to everything there but we're still as close as ever. We talk every week even if it's just a quick "I miss you" or whatever. No she's still my friend and hopefully she will never become a "she was my friend" and in all honesty, I'd hate for that to happen and I'm 110% sure that she feels the same way about me.

Creative Ways to Ask Him

Whether you want to ask him on a date or a school dance there are plenty of creative ways to do ask so here are a few from simple to bold.
So here are a few ways.
  • You can get a white t-shirt and put on the front in permanent marker "Will you go to _______ with" and write in washable marker names of other girls on the back and with your name write it also in permanent marker. Have someone give it to him with a note saying please wash. And hopefully the washable names wash out but normally they do; if you want test it before hand. Make sure you get his size if you do. 
  • Create a puzzle. My friend actually did this by taking a picture of herself with a sign that asked him to the dance. He said yes and they also started dating.

Friday: Ex's Mistake, Friends with the Ex, Ex Still Loves You

Happy Friday! Let's talk exes.
Anonymous Asked
How can I stop making my current boyfriend suffer for what my ex did to me in the past?
An ex boyfriend cheated on me through our whole 7 month relationship. Now I have major trust issues. All I seem to do now is make my current boyfriend suffer for what my ex did. I just can't seem to trust anymore. I am scared that my boyfriend will get tired of me and just give up on us. HELP!

Dear Anonymous
Don't let your boyfriend pay for your ex's mistake; that isn't fair to him.
I understand why you would though but you really need to start working on those trust issues. You're fearful of something that may or may not happen and what you need is reassurance that it won't happen.
Treat your boyfriend like a new guy because that is what he is in a way. Yes keep your guard up but don't feel like you shouldn't trust him until he's has given you a reason not to trust him.

My Guys: Austin

I met Austin in high school, during our freshman year. I literally met him at a mall and he asked me for a pen. We've been friends ever since. He's a tall guy, standing at 6'6 and he's your usual dirty blond, blue eyed boy. Actually no he's not. He's so different from any guy I know, although he can be clueless at times but he knows me pretty well.
I have said this about Connor but Austin is sincerely one of the guys any girl would gladly take home to meet her parents. Austin is very polite and well mannered. He knows how to keep a conversation going and he always has something interesting to talk about.
He had a rough childhood but he's always seen the good in life. He's very independent and has worked since he was 16, not because he had to but because he wanted to; he's self motivated. He's always believed me and the rest of his friends. He's a big part of my beautiful life.

Things To Do with Your Best Friend.

I enjoy doing things with my best friend but the usual gets boring fast. Now keep in mind that I'm friends with a lot of guys so maybe this list of things to do with your best friend can go with date ideas with your boyfriend.

The Usual Things:
  • Movies
    • Movie Marathon: All day of watching movies, whatever you two choose just watch it all day. Or you can have a day of watching your favorite TV series together. 
    • Movie Night: Watch a couple movies, bake dessert, or pig out on popcorn
    • Movie Theater
  • Mini Golf 
  • Ice Skating or Roller-Skating 
  • Mall
    • People Watch: Pick out some people around the food court and make up a story about them.
    • Try on clothes: Pick out different outfits for each other and try them on and take pictures. Worse outfit wins. :D
  •  Game Night:
    • Family board games 
    • Card games
    • Trivia games
Those are just a few things you and you best friend or maybe even boyfriend can do together or with all your friends. My personal favorite thing to do with my best friend is just talking. I know in a way it is kind of corny but I love just hanging out in the living room, watching TV and talking. We like to talk about the past, the present and the future. My best friend, Janna, wants to travel to many places and we always talk about the places we want to move to together. My other best friend, Blaine, we spend most of our time in the winter and build blanket forts. I really enjoy being with my best friends and I don't always tell them or show them but they're part of my life and hopefully they will always be.
