What is happiness? How does one really know when the point of happiness has been reached? How does one reach that point? Well, there are a million ways of questioning happiness. As little kids, we are told accomplishments, goals can bring us happiness. Yet, we were never told how to reach emotional happiness and so we turn to books, movies and friends. Very young we associate love with happiness so we tend to start looking for love in all the wrong places and in all of the worst types of people. As a girl, love is just scarce but we always believed that every guy was our knight in shining armor until we are left with a kid in our arms by the guy who promised us forever. Although, some of us are lucky enough to realize the truth staring at our broken hearts we tend to forget to thank God for allowing us to understand that love is not all that its made up to be. We are told that Cinderella’s story will happen for us and so we sit and wait instead of working and praying. For this reason, our lives will never amount to all that it was supposed to, and for that same reason we will always have broken hearts. But some of us are fortunate enough to find that one person who can mend our hearts, our wounds, wipe our tears and is patient enough to hold our hand and walk with us although we are imperfect. That person is sometimes the one we treat faultily, the one we ignore and do all sorts of things to and yet they are still around. Although the idea of happiness is a good one and we spend most of our lives chaisng it if it did not come from the right source it will never last.
I get ask all the time which anti-virus software I like to use and I always reply, since I got introduced to this technology ideal I have been using Norton and I have no complain really. Then I get asked, is it free, no it is not you have to pay for it. I sometime suggest AVG as a good free anti-virus software but now I think I am going to move over to the Microsoft product. I have been using Windows Defender to help me combat the malwares and anti-spywares out there. Microsoft Security Essential is a FREEEE anti-malware solution that is available to you for your personal computer or laptop. This program will help your computer to fight against viruses, spyware, adware and other malicious software.

If you are not sure how to find out which service pack your computer has do the following: From your computer, click start, find the My Computer icon, right click then click properties.
Once you can identify that you have service pack 2 you can download and install the Microsoft security Essential. At the present time this application or program only runs on 32bit processor not 64bit. For more information and download go to: Microsoft Security Essential
Voice over Internet Protocol is this new booming technology that allows you to make phone calls using your already available internet service. Let’s you are paying your cable company or your internet service provider $50 for internet services and you are paying your regular phone company about $50, for the month you are spending about $100. Now can you image using a company like Vonage and/or RingCentral which will charge you a fee ranging from $9.95 to $25 a month, already you are saving about half of your phone bill! Now you may ask, why didn’t I know about this before, well there are many reasons why but let me tell you one: We are all afraid of change, since we have been around regular phone lines for a very long time it would be hard to just change and move to something else which we barely understand. Well that’s what VoIP does; it allows you to use your current internet service to call. There are some free services online you signup for.
Hi everyone, I hope that you all are having a blessed day. I just wanted to take this time to just talk a little bit about myself and my background and why exactly we have created this blog and what it’s really about. Well, I go by the “the author” a name I kind of borrowed from someone very special to me. I enjoy writing and just sharing my thoughts on all types of topics. I have been in a relationship for a very very long time now and yes with the same person, so one of my personal favs to talk about is relationships and how to make them work. By no means am I an expert but I have had some amazing experiences and I just feel compelled to share especially since I get asked all the time how do you do, or rather how do you put up with “him” (sorry babe, they always ask). We have definitely had our ups and downs but by God’s grace we have always found ways to make it work and have decided to not give up on each other. Our situation in the past few months have changed since we’re apart for a while now so we’re finding new ways to make things work even being in a long distance relationship. You see, I’ve had to leave him back home to go away to school and the transition was hard and it is still hard but the most difficult part of it all has been being away from the person that has the other half of my heart, the one that completes me. Let me just say how fortunate I am to have someone that is willing to put their life on hold in order for me to try to pursue my own dreams, I just thank God everyday for bringing him into my life. This story will definitely be to be continued….
Another thing that I’m quite passionate about is spiritual growth, we are living during the last times and I know that so many people don’t quite understand what that means and I just want to let the world know that Jesus, the One that came and died on the cross on calvary is coming back soon to come and take all of those that believed in him and did what he asked us to do home. I personally cannot wait! I also love to cook, when I have time and I love to share different recipes or things that I’ve learned over the years. I also try to keep up with the current events and try to educate myself as much as I can so I love to share those things too. This blog is not about me but more so about how can I help others in any shape or form, so this blog really is dedicated to all of you. I hope that when you come here, you can find something that can bring a peace and joy into your heart because that’s what writing does for me. It comforts me in a way that I really can’t explain. I hope and pray that this blog will do a lot of good and bring forth a lot of people to understand more about God first and foremost and also about every anything else. Love you all!
So many times, I find myself wondering exactly how exactly God will make a way out of what seems to be no way. I’m not sure how many of you may feel like this but I find this to be more times than I can actually count. The saddest part of all is that anytime I find myself in a situation and I really don’t know how it will turn out, I begin to doubt and forget at how good God has been to me and how he has done things for me beyond my wildest dreams. You see, God ask us to do something that is so simple, which is trust and believe in him and know that he will never let us down, you see where God sits on his throne, no one can move him. He reigns forever and despite what life may throw our way, he is ultimately in control. To say that we will not go through rough patches is an understatement, sometimes I feel like the devil will continously test us to see if we will forget how good God truly is but we just have to remember that the devil is a liar and that he never wins in any battle against the True and Faithful. Now one thing I know I have struggled with is, I’m doing everything that God is asking me to do but yet I still feel like God isn’t answering my prayers, what is that about? Well, I think it goes back to what I have said before God works in ways that is simply beyond our imaginations. God answers prayers and does things on his time and that’s just something that we can’t change but we can learn to appreciate because God knows what we need and when we need it. Again he will never let us down, so we shouldn’t let him down by not believing in his power. I know we all go through things in this life that can make us start to wonder about the power of God, but it is so important that we bring ourselves back to those times where he has made a way when we knew there was absolutely no way. I just want to thank God for all of the things he has done and will continue to do on my behalf in my life. I hope you all can do the same! God Bless!
So the VMAs were held in New York this year and I think this was the best one of my time thus far. Madonna opened the VMA with the Michael Jackson tribute. She talked about Michael, their date, their friendship but most importantly how most of Michael’s friends abandoned him when he was going through his legal issues. I’m glad someone said it because they sure did!!! In the beginning they had dancers dressed in different Michael Jackson apparel who danced to his songs. I loved every minute of the tribute. After that Janet performed to their song “Scream” which was great. Janet killed the whole performance. While she performed she was edited out of the video while on the big screen you saw Michael and she performed onstage. She did their memorable dance in the video when they danced together. That was a heartfelt performance, I almost cried. Is it me or did MTV nail the Michael Jackson tribute better than BET… well some might argue that MTV had more time but I’m looking at the bigger picture, if you’re better at your craft; time frame shouldn’t play a big factor.
So Poor Taylor Swift never saw this one coming… lol Taylor Swift won best female video for “You Belong with Me” which is a good song but I don’t think it should have won and she looked surprised just like me. The other nominees were Beyoncé, Pink, Lady Gaga and Britney Spears so come on, but who doesn’t like an underdog. The competition was stiff but I didn’t expect her to win and so didn’t Kanye West. So while she’s saying her acceptance speech Mr. Ego aka Kanye West interrupts her and tells her his two senses about the situation. “Taylor, I’m really happy for you, and I’m gonna let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time,” said Kanye. Wow… I felt so bad for her; she was so shocked that she couldn’t even finish her speech. DAMN KANYE another one bites the dust but one thing you can’t say is that he told the world HE GOTTA BIG EGO lol After that horrible experience Taylor had to perform right after which I can say was actually good. Kanye is Kanye nothing more or nothing less, you gotta love him for that.
Lady Gaga’s performance was good but disturbing. I personally like Lady Gaga and everything she does so I didn’t mind the whole blood thing because I like the song and I understood the whole concept. Tonight she was on her weird mode with her appearance, what she wore, and her date Kermit the frog. Lol WTF but despite all of that you can’t deny that this lady has skills. BTW was I the only one who noticed she made it her mission to wear panties on stage to put an end to the hermaphrodite rumors. I don’t know why they call beautiful singers who can dance hermaphrodites, her and Ciara need to do a song together lol
Beyoncé also performed “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” like always it was good. Being that Beyoncé is such a nice person once she won video of the year for “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” she recalls winning her first VMA and calls out Taylor Swift to have her moment. AWWWW You can’t hate Beyoncé no matter how hard you try because she always does things like that. Lol I’m glad Taylor got to finish her acceptance speech.
Pink’s performance was good. She was on the rope things called trapeze flip and flopping and it was different. I loved how she copied Lil’ Kim and had a sticker of her nipple while she performed… I don’t blame her since her and Shakira wore the same outfit. Next time I bet she’ll bring a change of clothes… BTW she was with Carey Hart her ex-husband whom she wrote “So What” about… IDK their relationship is weird one day their together and the next day their not but hey at the end of the day it is what it is. I still love her.
So Jay Z closed the VMA with a performance with Alicia Keys. The performance was good and close to the end of the performance out of nowhere comes Lil Mama. WTF I don’t even think she was a part of the show. Jay Z didn’t even acknowledge her… DAMN seems to me like she tried to pull a Kanye but was unsuccessful LMAO.
The 2009 MTV VMA’s rocked, if you missed it try to catch a re-run. The host Russell Brand was funny. Overall it was good and the facebook and twitter updates made it even better lol Controversy makes good tv… hell live tv is always good tv also.
