Okay, I must admit that I totally cried during this movie. It forced me to see the truth and question it. Plus, it also helped me ease my current life pains. Throughout the movie, I kept asking myself, "What if this happened to me?" In a couple years or so, I'd probably living my life just like the main character - completely unfulfilled. It's probably how most of us are all living. The main character didn't even have much friends or successes, it was really depressing to think about.
But then I had an epiphany at the end of movie. It happened during the scene where Adam's parents and best friend heard of the surgery's success. They were so happy. At that moment, I realized your life is not measured by the amount of people you share it with or the hardships that bring you down. So what if most of the friends that you've made over the last decade have left you behind, deserted you, or forgot about you? So what if your father refuses to acknowledge you as his own daughter and has no desire to even try to contact you? That isn't how your life should be perceived, you have to focus on the people your are still there for you, the people who are standing by your side at this very moment and care for you. Your life is measured by how you treat these people. Do you show them how much you appreciate them everyday? Do you live your life to the fullest when your around them? Do you make the time spent with them count?
And if you tell yourself that there's no one like that in your life then you're probably (A) Oblivious and blind or (B) Scared. You're not alone, I mean you're reading this right now. And this is me so, I'm with ya. You know me now, but I don't know you - so tell me who you are if you're feeling alone. Who knows? We might even be the best of buds.
Anyway, that's all I wanted to share.

Decisions
At the moment, I have to come up with a decision that will effect my future. I have to figure out what I want to do with my life. I have only thought of two possibilities: doing the right thing for the people I care for or doing the right thing for myself.
Those two choices, whether I like it or not, lead me down on separate paths. And I hate it so much that I haven't come it terms with the choice until now. I let it slide as if I didn't need to carefully think it over. I believed that if I left it alone enough that the choice will be chosen itself. That was stupid of me, you can't believe that everything will work out in the end if you're not doing anything to make sure that it does. Now I have to make up for the time I wasted.
Like I said my two choices were to live my life doing the right thing for the people that I love or doing the right thing for myself. Both are selfish and both can lead me to happiness.
I can be noble and fulfill my obligations to my family, spend my entire life making sure that I've given them the life that they've always wanted. Work for the title and power, so I can be able to give my mom that big house that she's always wanted. The things that she deserves because she has spent most of her life doing what's best for the family. I know I owe it to her to make her life better, because right now it sucks. And I'll be happy to do it too. And then I can finally get the closure of proving my father wrong. To show him that he left behind an amazing family and to get the satisfaction of him realizing that we weren't nothing.
Or I can live my life the way I would have if it was better. If I didn't have to worry about if my family had enough money to pay off next week's debts. I can do what I've always wanted. I can get the education that I truly want and save people's lives without worrying about my responsibilities to my family. I can get my degree and go off to the Peace Corps, where I'll being making the world a better place. I'd help others making their lives better, and by doing so, fulfilling my life's purpose.
Those are my choices and I still can't decide which one is the right thing to do. But at the moment, I'm still seeking out other options.

Moments of Uncertainity
Okay do you ever have those moments throughout your life where you ask yourself, "What am I doing?"
It's when you take a step back and wonder what's going to happen next. Should I continue or just stop? Is this a bad idea? Why am I doing this? And the questions keep going on and on.
Well, I think these are the moments that shape your life. It's as if your brain is sensing a big change before it actually happens and is asking, "Are you really ready for this?" Most of the time, I think that you ask yourself this out of fear. That the outcomes of what you're doing at the moment will be life changing in a way and that truly scares you.
Other times asking yourself that questions can signal you to try to do something new. As if the realm of possibilities is opening in front of your very eyes and you finally understand that you can't keep doing the same things. That you can't keep living this way anymore because in the end it'll only eat you alive. So you change something to keep your life fresh and to open new doors.
I've always wondered if there was this big moment in my life that will determine the rest of my future. A single moment where I make a certain decision that alters my life forever. And I've just come to the realization that it's already happened, or is still happening. It's those "What am I doing" moments that changes my life's forever. It amazes me that what I thought would be happening in the faraway future is taking place in the present.

How To Be Yourself
Who are you really? Are you that quiet girl who everyone thinks is awkwardly silent? Maybe it's the you that wants to come out, the you that's fearless and could turn worlds upside down. Well you're feeling the the slightest confusion then reading this will fix that :)
To know you who you really are you just have to answer these simple questions:
Who is the best and the most amazing person in your eyes?
Who is the best and the most amazing person in your eyes?
What kind of traits would they possess?
Are they expressive? What are they good at? What would they never do?
Now once you've sculpted that person, do everything in your power to become that person. There's nothing stopping you from becoming your ideal awesome.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Now for me, this was a life-saver. I mean I viewed myself as several people in just one girl. I'm somethings intensively mute or am just off the wall crazy. Another thing that would help you find yourself is the people you hang around. I'm not sure if this happens to everyone but I know that when I'm with someone, I tend to become someone else when I'm with another person.
For example, when I'm with my mom I am the most lazy daughter in the world, but when I'm with my friends, I become the most responsible and neat one. I'm not sure how that works but it happens.
But if you've already accepted who you are and don't want to change anything, then believe me you're already amazing.
That's another key to being yourself, Acceptance.
You have to accept that you can't be everything, you can only do your best.
That's another key to being yourself, Acceptance.

Animal Crossing City Folk: Cloning/Duplicating Tutorial
I'm a big of ACCF, it's been one of my favorite games ever since I learned the true potential of video games. I decided that I should post the most valuable information I have on this game. So here it it:
MUST-KNOWS
-You have to be at a friend's/another person's town for this to work
-You CAN'T clone fish/bugs, ONLY things that you're able to drop and pick back up
-Your friend MUST not close their gates in the middle of the process
-The process is easier than it sounds
-You probably won't get it right the first couple of tries
THE PROCESS
1. Put the stuff you want to clone into your pocket
2. Have your friend save
3 Drop the stuff you want to clone
4. Go to the gate and talk to Copper
5. Tell him you want to go home and KEEP pressing the home button( on the Wii Remote) until you access the home menu(where you can see the RESET button)
6. Press the reset button(not on Wii System, MUST be on tv screen)
------By doing this you'll end up at the start(Place where you always start the game/Main Menu)
7. Play Animal Crossing again(as yourself). The cloned version of the items you dropped earlier are now in your pocket.
8. Go back to your friend's town, the original/real items are still there
If you're confused read it over again, then go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?
It shows you exactly what to do. And now you have gained the key to success (or not).

Okay, that's it! If you don't know this game I recommended that you buy it if you like games like Sims or Harvest Moon. (And if you don't know those games either.......well, then I have nothing to say)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's All For Now
And As Always,
Live Life With Your Rules
