I was about to email a picture from my phone to myself when I noticed all but 6 photos in my phone camera’s gallery had mysteriously vanished sometime in the past 24 hours. Naturally, I experienced panic… anxious, upset, torn. As I scoured forums on solutions to my not so uncommon problem, I started trying to come to peace with what had just happened. I was incredibly sad that all these snapshots from the past 1.5 years were suddenly gone. With the way my memory serves me, all of the stories disappeared with those pictures too.
After ~5 different attempts using different techniques, I dejectedly plugged my micro SD back in and turned on my phone to play some words with friends. I thought, “Juuuuust in case…” and checked the phone’s gallery. Before my eyes, the photo count changed from 6 to 120 to 165 to 170 and so on and finally to its current resting place at 370. Even though I had just tried to convince myself that it would be all right, I found myself overjoyed that my pictures + memories had made a recovery (thanks to SOMETHING I did?).
The fact that I just went through such an emotional roller coaster over some pictures on my phone just really goes to show… that I have some first world problems.
peas and adobo grease ^^v

I somehow ended up watching a string of videos on youtube titled “Mormons owned by Christian.” The first one was pretty funny; my sense of humor was still in tact and I still had a light heart about the discussion at hand. The videos document an encounter between unknowing Mormons on their missions (typically 2 clean cut boys) and a group of 3-4 very prepared, very Scripture-smart people equipped with cameras and Bibles.
I ended up watching 6 of these videos, and now my emotions have taken a complete 180. At first, I enjoyed watching a heated debate with one clearly stronger opponent aka Ownage, but now I feel really dejected and sort of wish I didn’t watch all those videos so close to bedtime. I’ve basically been watching videos full of hatred for other people for having conflicting beliefs. Isn’t that what started The Crusades aka Let’s Kill Everybody?
Basically, I just see a bunch of guys yelling at each other trying to convince one another that what the other man believes is bullshit. People have been fighting about religion for thousands of years and nothing has really changed surrounding that. We’re collectively growing backwards. Our life is Benjamin Button.
What’s so different between racism and religionism? The human movement of wanting world peace preaches for ignorance of skin color, and as racism is trying to make its way to phasing out (sloooowly), it seems that religionism is making a big, ugly comeback.
Humans are weeee-urd.

For my 8th birthday, my mom decorated the house for a full on party.. food, cake, streamers, games, the whole nine yards. My little 8-year-old heart was broken, however, when only 1 out of the 10 girls I invited showed up. It was on that day that I learned that bitches ain’t nothin but hoes and tricks.
We abandoned ship and Momz took me and my one friend (who is still my friend) to the Discovery Museum in downtown San Jose. It was also on this day that I learned that the only people that got your back will reveal themselves on days like this.
