The Only Thing Left Is...Love and My Pijamas

My Dream Came True!!

noreply@blogger.com (Rochelle) — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 06:06:00 +0000

I wasn't supposed to say this but yes MY DREAM CAME TRUE!!! Ok before anyone acts astonished, no its not something magical or spectacular but something really to think about and consider. Last couple of days I was posing in all forms and ways in front of the mirror convincing myself that there had to be someone out there that wanted to take pictures of me. Something like a French photographer..and I his muse hahaha (I know shocking hehehe)Well can't a girl dream? But not just any ordinary photographer a professional one. Well guess what it slightly came true...the photographer of my dreams wasn't exactly a sexy French artist (ahem photographer), but one of my friends....(and no it wasn't a guy..it was a girl *sigh*). No matter, I was astonished and actually surprised that it came true!! because I had weeks practicing in front of the mirror (if you can call that practicing lol). But hey the opportunity knocked on my door...and I couldn't miss it for the whole world!! Plus it was gonna be free and I already looked through her professional photo albums. Yes *I WAS SO EXCITED*

The day arrived and I was running late(as usual)..thank goodness she was flexible enough to give me more time, you know how we girls struggle when it comes to makeup, hair, clothes and accessories..too much layering too work with! I finally arrived..and I was excited to begin all that process of transformation..luckily all my three outfits matched the settings..and they ended up flawlessly (others not so much hehe, I look scared and surprised most of the time..after all I'm not a professional model, I'm a beginner lol). The weather was perfect like it was meant to be.. I'm not gonna lie it was kind of exhausting..we worked there for 3 hours, now I understand models in a way...in a way. At the end of the day I spent time with her, thanking her for this amazing opportunity,but of course I was not gonna turn out in billboards or anything!! It was just mere professional photos to show out her work...she's about to open her studio soon!! I'll see what happens next. As for me Im excited, now I'm turning into a firm believer of dreams. Like Walt Disney said "IF YOU CAN DREAM IT,YOU CAN DO IT." I hope this exciting story (or whatever you happened to believe) comes true to you, in a form of a dream, an imagination, or a wondrous desire that you happen to want to fulfill. OK I'm sounding to optimistic Mrs. happy-go-lucky speaking!! But i just want you to realize that anything is possible..if you believe!!!! And if it wasn't meant to be, it was because it wasn't the correct time or at the correct situation. Wishing you an awesome weekend!!! Cheerios!!!!

P.S. And for the fact, yes I love taking pictures, ever since I was a little girl I loved posing for the cameras, unfortunately for me Im not tall enough to be a professional model of some sort, but I do have the pictures to display, Im just waiting fot the correct time and opportunity to showcase my work and talents :) Well..well..well yes I love people taking pictures me its one of the things that satisfy me the most!!!Ironic isn't it, that my friend the photographer hates to seeing pictures of her, but then again she loves taking pictures of others!!! THE IRONY!!! Well besides that fact many people do consider me a photogenic type, trust me the most beautiful person on the room might look perfect in person but ugly in pictures and vice-versa the most ugly girl in the room might look ugly in person but can take a real good photo. YES THE COMPLEXITIES OF LIFE STARTLE ME!! Lucky for me I'm one of the few who have both qualities, both beautiful and can take good pictures (OK I'm bragging myself too much hehehe..take no note of that) but yea its worth mentioning.

NI HAO..THE YEAR OF THE BUNNY n____n

Yea it has gotten quite lonely..and sorry guys for not posting earlier..I promise I was dyiinnnggg to post here...soon enough!!! So what's today's deal....that's great that you ask ;) lol. Im uber-excited because although late and terrified that I was running out of ideas..not really I'm like an open-diary I write too much lol. So yea without no further thou....HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEARS!!!! THE YEAR OF THE RABBIT!!! Yes I said it..I said it hehehehe. I'm so excited because although I'm not in China or Chinese for that matter I want to clebrate this special celebration! Just a reminder of what this year will bring:

A placid year, very much welcomed and needed after the ferocious year of the Tiger. We should go off to some quiet spot to lick our wounds and get some rest after all the battles of the previous year.

Good taste and refinement will shine on everything and people will acknowledge that persuasion is better than force. A congenial time in which diplomacy, international relations and politics will be given a front seat again. We will act with discretion and make reasonable concessions without too much difficulty.

A time to watch out that we do not become too indulgent. The influence of the Rabbit tends to spoil those who like too much comfort and thus impair their effectiveness and sense of duty.

Law and order will be lax; rules and regulations will not be rigidly enforced. No one seems very inclined to bother with these unpleasant realities. They are busy enjoying themselves, entertaining others or simply taking it easy. The scene is quiet and calm, even deteriorating to the point of somnolence. We will all have a tendency to put off disagreeable tasks as long as possible

Money can be made without too much labor. Our life style will be languid and leisurely as we allow ourselves the luxuries we have always craved for. A temperate year with unhurried pace. For once, it may seem possible for us to be carefree and happy without too many annoyances.

I hope this holds true for many of us..and yes that last reading didnt come from me here's the site so you can check out your own chinese zodiac sign. From the thousands websites that I was browsing online this is the best one. I promise!!! I am not gonna hand out crap....since I follow my instincts very well and if I dont find appealing I know the rest wont like it either. It gives your Personality/Child Persona/Compatibility....just do it for fun and figure out if its for you..if its not hey I still have a NUMEROLOGY section.....things are not 100% accurate but I wanted something neat to show you! Happy Browsing &....Xīn Nián Kuài Lè!!!!!!! yayyyyy

My Lonely Christmas

noreply@blogger.com (Rochelle) — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 08:39:00 +0000

Yes, this was meant for my Christmas posting, but the internet was cut down and ahem kaos erupted in the house when my mom left!Taking care of some uninvited guests is not the best time to spend Christmas.Moving on...moving on. So in the road that I have been succumbed by torturous and unfortunate events:

Here's my original posting and my thoughts on Christmas with the sooo ethereal meaning of love and finding the ever after expression OF what does X-MAS signify to me LET'S CONTINUE...

Once you thought everything was possible egg nogg nights, celebrating all day long, Christmas cheer and presents galore like an never ending farytale. Well in my case that didn't ever happen. I spent Christmas HOME ALONE. Okay now's the time to quiver and fret. I never realized or understood my parents perception of killing this holiday and believing it to be just a day of the week. Well if that doesn't surprise you let give you a heads up of my history with X-MAS. 1 years old: No present?...hmmm thats obvious! 5 years old: Present for me? "Nooo this one is for your cousin."10 years old: "Here Rochelle take this itchy polyester sparkly halloween fluroscent blue sweater...UMMM no thanks (ONLY PRESENT in too memeory) 15 years old: *I wished and asked for a trip for Europe* Yeah like thats gonna happen. 20 years old:...still waiting and waiting and waiting. I got so depressed that I ventured into the only known source I knew my family...thats irreplaceable. Although I have to confess and point out they drive me insane,to the melting point of exhaustion its never fun when their around in their crazy behavior. *Ouch* that sounded harsh. Yes, if you where expecting Christmas cheer not gonna happen here, go somewhere else. I just hope one day I'll be united to my heavenly destination trip ahead and be done with it. Ummm so yea "It" called X-MAS has never crossed my mind only in times when I'm abroad, then thats a time to celebrate the Christmas spirit!...or maybe, mmm with family, take your pick.New Years is bigger here (meaning in this household) and thats a shame. The holiday spirit is long begone and I'm sorry to dismiss these thoughts and be the Grinch of the movie but its true. What I value most of this holiday is the friendliness of the people. One day of peace and harmony..its like everyone decided to be cheerful and nice alll of a sudden... thats kinda scary but in a good way. Let it be known that Christmas is the day when everyone is nice or at least pretends to be AND usually not always I get a smile now and then when I remember that IT is not something materialistic but the love and joy of receiving a day full of happiness and joy for once in your lifetime from those around you.

THE END

An Unexpected Caller aka A***hole

noreply@blogger.com (Rochelle) — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 20:27:00 +0000

Yes the story of my life.!!! I received a phone call not so long ago I expected it to be one of my family members. It was like 11:40 PM at night. I watching re-runs in National Geographic in my couch with my cell phone (like first time evaaa, I usually lose it all the time). Anyways but it was a wrong numba, I was like "AHHH Let them leave a message, I dont know who its is." Or so I thought. I actually knew who it is right after the they leave a message. It was "HIM" the A***hole. His sounding creepy voice ached around my spine when he stated the following,"Hey what's up baby girl, call me back. I'm not home rite now. But call me back as soon as you get this message. My number is ###-###. Later Babe."Gosh you would be surprised If I told you this huge infatuation in him.Of course your hearing me ranting about the A***hole right now. But let me explain and let you grasp and assess the situation a little differently.

It all started when I was spending some time in summer vacation (oh yea lovely..summer vacation). At first I glanced at him I never thought much of him, until we started talking. He went unfrazzled by it all, talking about his passion in tennis and his eager devotion to meet one of the most recognizable tennis figures of all time. Of course I let him play the field (wink) I acted amused, (like isn't that what girls have to do, for guys to feel admired?) a macho thing no doubt. In my mind I thought he was the sweetest, most paying attention/devoted to me kinda feeling embrace type of person. Yea or so I thought. It didn't took long for him to ignore me, and back stab me in the back (of course I didn't belong to him, and he didn't belong to me). It was just an innocent platonic crush, that it took me 3 months to recover, I'm alright though ;) He was attentive to me I thought he was gonna take the next step. Three days after that he completely ignored me, didn't look at me, and he even didn't try to mention my name *JERK*. I thought I did something wrong, but it wasn't me it was his stupid moronic way of dissing me goodbye.

Goodbyes are hard but when you look at the bright side of it all and recover everything starts shine to get better. I was like "OK coolio, you wanna play that game then I have nothing else than to move on". I started talking to his friend (no it wasnt payback time, but heck it felt good in the inside). He was years remotely bigger than me, I didnt like him, I mean I wasnt attracted physically or emotionally, otherwise lol. But he was a good listener and agile communicator, I intended no harm. We started talking getting acquainted to each other (like those bffs). I guess guys never learn. What do girls have to do to grab their attention? Go arm candy in order for the A***Hole to notice them? And so it had happened, he started looking at me, but I was there with having the time of my life and ignored him like he ignored me (No Duh). I'm like common "If your in for the chase then get the heck out of my face,"LOL. He tried the best way to approach me, trying to sit next to me, trying to make me notice him, even at the last minute wanting to talk to me, but it was TOO LATE!. After all he was undeserving of my appreciation of him, my devoted idea that there was gonna be two of us, but im not something you can pick out of the street and expect me to be happy. UH-UH BUDDY! aka A***Hole. These are my last goodbyes, my voyage to betterment begins. And as for that voice-mail, and recent phone call. I did not answer. I have a strong will, and no one will change that idea out of me.

Russia & Qatar: What This Means To The World

noreply@blogger.com (Rochelle) — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 06:41:00 +0000

As the world recently discovered the great announcement everyone yet not everybody wanted to hear.
RUSSIA & QATAR head to head to host one of the most spectacular shows in television:

THE WORLD CUP

Okay Okay Im really not a fan of football by any means, but when it comes to watching other nations play, it pumps me up! I don't know its like a rush emotions that over-sweep's my entire body. So anyways enough with the talking lets get on with the controversy theory. Although by any means, I disbelief these radical and somewhat crazy ideas. I decided to investigate and know what its all for. My conclusion was the following:
Russia:Obviously did it with a puropse, we all know football in their nation is not the national sport, its hockey. I mean common they cant fool me hahaha. No, but in all reality I'm happy for them, its not that I think that they deserved it, but they earned it, they gave a heck of a presentation, aspired the FIFA committee (including myself...leaving me utterly speechless), and convinced the public why Russia is not the old Russia everyone "supposes" (after post soviet Russia). I mean you have to give it to them they are convincingly folks, they take no for an answer and they are by far the most mystical people in the world. Russia never had any african slaves, or so they tell me. But enough with historic data, another reason why I long so much to go in 2018, its for this guy. But no I shall refuse I keep thinking hes the one but it all comes too, "Honey he lives in Russia get over it," anyways that will be another segment that I'll later discuss. Keep yourself posted.

Qatar: A land of mysticism and enchantment it had everything to win. Their baffling speech and how they would invest in other 22 developing nations (just sold me right there, right then). Yea Baby, I mean common an Arab nation never ever has hosted a World Cup event, let alone something with such large magnum worldwide attention. In 2022 the eyes are set in Qatar for the very first time, and its no surprise I wanna go too (although im a woman, and that imposes a little bit of threat to my ideas).

Anyways I still wishfully want to go too both....back to Qatar..Oh yes impressive prsentaion a little more convincing than the Russian one, but overall greatness and not to mention the stadiums...have you seen those stadiums!!!! Yes oil maybe the factor to their ongoing infrastructure, and I mean who can blame them? If I got all the money in the world I would invest in my country by all means!! Let the mooney begin! JK But in reality im happy for the people, the fellow countrymen in Qatar they deserve it. I mean for all the things the Middle East has gone through they need a new facelift, to let them prove themselves that they excel at its best,being kind and true to themselves. People of Qatar I'm with you!! Sorry Australia, it wasn't your turn but somebody like Qatar really need it. And hey its like no Arab plays this sport..they live for this sport, I have several acquintances (arab of course) that football is their passion, so there you go you naysayers......

AND ILL HAVE TO SAY TO RUSSIA & QATAR ...LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!!!!!! YAYYYYY ^______^

Romeo and Juliet...Throughout the Ages

noreply@blogger.com (Rochelle) — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 05:43:00 +0000

"These violent delights have violent ends AND AT THEIR TRIUMPH, DIE (like fire and powder) which as they kiss consume." -Shakespeare

Yes the famous words from Shakespeare translated and recaptured by me:

I am so inspired by this Shakespeare's neo-classic fairytale/dramatic/altering story/novel play lol :p

That is has gotten to the point where all my stories are inspired by it.

Meaning all my stories talk about forbidden love, taboo subjects that the mere mortal reading them not to mention my mom would faint.

It has gotten to the point that even my Facebook page under About Me section says "These Violent Delights, Have Violent Ends." Okay Okay I'm not THAT Obsessed it just the sheer thought of Shakespeare enlightens my thoughts and feelings.

So anyways moving on to this section. So I bet you guys have heard or had known about a classic love story that broke all barriers changed the fate of history or became immortalized. Well I got so inspired this morning and I decided..."Well Heck..I can write about those stories..that left me thinking,..and left me inspired in love, of course."

Yes these named AND PICTURED ABOVE may sound unpronounceable but the reality of the matter is that it is a wonderful love story. Such as the star-crossed lovers In Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, Popcatepl and Izta shared the same fate but in a different twist. It’s primarily based on Mexican folklore and obviously Aztec mythology (Not only Greeks had MYTHOLOGY you know!!) And yes folks Popocatepl is a real volcano in Mexico. And to this day Popocatepetl still smokes today. Some say it is with inner torment of a warrior who lost his only love. Believe it or not someone a long time ago once read this story to me and ever since I have been hooked to this mythological/non-fiction/fiction love story. *SIGH* AHHHHHHH…….

"Many years before Cortés came to Mexico, the Aztecs lived in Tenochtitlán, today's Mexico City. The chief of the Aztecs was a famous Emperor, who was loved by all the natives. The Emperor and his wife, the Empress, were very worried because they had no children. One day the Empress said to the Emperor that she was going to give birth to a child. A baby girl was born and she was as beautiful as her mother. They called her Iztaccíhuatl, which in Náhuatl means "white lady".

All the natives loved Izta and her parents prepared her to be the Empress of the Aztecs. When she grew up, she fell in love with a captain of a tribe, his name was Popoca. One day, a war broke out and the warriors had to go south to fight the enemy. The Emperor told Popoca that he had to bring the head of the enemy chief back from the war, so he could marry his daughter.

After several months of combat, a warrior who hated Popoca sent a false message to the Emperor. The message said that his army had won the war, but that Popoca had died in battle. The Emperor was very sad when he heard the news, and when Izta heard she could not stop crying. She refused to go out and did not eat any more. A few days later, she became ill and she died of sadness. When the Emperor was preparing Izta's funeral, Popoca and his warriors arrived victorious from war. The Emperor was taken aback when he saw Popoca, and he told him that other warriors had announced his death. Then, he told him that Izta had died. Popoca was very sad. He took Izta's body and left the town. He walked a long way until he arrived at some mountains where he ordered his warriors to build a funeral table with flowers and he put Izta lying on top. Then he kneeled down to watch over Izta and died of sadness too. The Gods were touched by Popoca's sacrifice and turned the tables and the bodies into great volcanoes. The biggest volcano is Popocatépetl, which in Náhuatl means "smoking mountain". He sometimes throws out smoke, showing that he is still watching over Iztaccíhuatl, who sleeps by his side."

So I was going over classic love stories in YouTube since I’m a die-hard romantic-comedy chick kind of girl. So then…EYES BEHOLD...I see James Franco and I just had to watch it, I never expected it to be a mythological/tale/of all accounts historic story. At the basis of the first clip I was already hooked and it still plays in mind from time to time. Love no matter how powerful how great finds its end in inexplicable ways.

Editor’s Note: Obviously many would disagree with this story because there is the movie version of it. I loved the Tristan & Isolde movie version so much (that it far-reached my expectations) Movie has notable actors, which stars James Franco YUM!! Go watch it!!!

"The tragic love story of Tristan and Isolde has been told and retold through various stories and manuscripts. It takes place during medieval times during the reign of King Arthur.

Isolde of Ireland, also known as Isolt, Isold, Iseult, or Ysolde, was the daughter of Angwish, King of Ireland. She was betrothed to King Mark of Cornwall. King Mark sent his nephew, Tristan, to Ireland to escort Isolde back to Cornwall.

Tristan (Tristram) whose name means "sorrow", given to him because of the loss of his mother at his birth, was a noble knight.

Before leaving Ireland, Isolde's mother gave a love potion to Isolde's handmaiden, Brangraine, with strict instructions to keep it safe until they reached Cornwall. It was then to be given to Isolde on her wedding night. Sometime during the voyage, Isolde and Tristan drank the potion by accident and fell forever in love.

Isolde did marry Mark of Cornwall, but could not help but love Tristan. The love affair continued after the marriage. When King Mark finally learned of the affair, he forgave Isolde, but Tristan was banned from Cornwall. Tristan moved to King Arthur's court and later went to Brittany. There he met Iseult of Brittany (also known as Iseult of White Hands). He was attracted to her because of the similarity of her name to his true love. He married her, but did not consummate the marriage because of his love for the "true" Isolde. After falling ill, he sent for Isolde in hopes that she would be able to cure him. If she agreed to come, the returning ship's sails would be white, or the sails would be black if she did not agree. Iseult, seeing the white sails, lied to Tristan and told him that the sails were black. He died of grief before Isolde could reach him. Isolde died soon after of a broken heart. Iseult regretted her actions after she saw the love that the two had for each other."

Apollo And Daphne

I know this is not by any means a love story alternation of the most enchanting love story of all creation. But its close seconds because it deals with a subject that hits home: unrequited love. I remember seeing this mythology video in history class. I was utterly bored not to mention exhausted by the repeating and monotone voice of these unpronounceable locations and very formal wording the narrator used to narrate Mythology. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE <3 mythology, it was just the movie that was the problem. So anyways around comes this clip the story of cupid, and all of a sudden I woke up. It then went talking about Apollo and Daphne, and just there and just then I have been mesmerized and still am enamoured with this enchanting mythological story.

"The story of Daphne is an example of an etiological myth, one that is strongly explanatory of why certain things in their culture were a certain way.

There are many examples of Greek myths that explain why certain religious rituals were performed, why some peoples may be named what they are, or even why varying objects, plants and animals were symbols of their gods.

The gods were known for punishing mortals for offending them, but occasionally they punished each other. The gods were a vengeful folk, and they did not take kindly to being insulted, by mortal or god. Apollo made the mistake of insulting one of his fellow immortal.

Apollo was a great archer, but sometimes he was a little full of himself. One day he caught sight of Eros (aka Cupid), the son of Aphrodite. Eros(Cupid) was also an archer, and his arrows were responsible for instilling the twists and turns of love and lust in a person's heart. Apollo teased young Eros(Cupid), putting down his abilities as an archer, claiming that one so small could make no difference with his arrows.

Angry at this insult, Eros(Cupid) shot two arrows, one tipped in gold, one blunted and tipped with lead. The arrow dipped in gold had the power to create insatiable lust in a person, while the other created absolute abhorrence towards all things romantic and passionate. The unfortunate soul who was struck with that arrow would have no desire to love anyone. The arrow dipped in gold struck Apollo, but the arrow dipped in lead struck fair Daphne.

Daphne was the daughter of the river god Peneus. Apollo chased down the maiden, desperate for her love, but she wanted nothing to do with him, and she ran from him endlessly. Soon, she grew weary in her running and that Apollo would ultimately catch her. Fearful, she called out to her father for help. As all gods of water posses the ability of transformation, Peneus transformed his daughter into a laurel tree. Suddenly her legs took root, and her arms grew into long and slender branches.

Apollo reached the laurel tree, and, still enamored with Daphne, held the tree in a special place in his heart. He claimed the tree the as his special tree, and adorned himself with some of it's leaves. And that is why the laurel was, and still is, a symbol of the god Apollo."

P.S. So do any of you know any stories that where inspired by love forbidden love or simply as enchanting as the ones previously mentioned above?? I would love to hear them. Story time will not appear again I promise, it’s just these stories keep coming out of nowhere and I feel that it’s my mission to share them. Until Next Time…I have to keep on writing, writing writing, writing. LOL

L.O.V.E-less Encounter??

noreply@blogger.com (Rochelle) — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 08:13:00 +0000

Dear Diary,

I have been dying to blog this post throughout this week but my limited space and time has made me spend time otherwise watching videos and jotting notes for English/Psychology class.

Oh what to do???? I feel like those awkward moments where you secretly will meet a guy (blind date to be exact) actually two guys at once.

What? You might ask but its true. The time has come for I have to reveal myself to two sought out bachelors (that I haven't even met but heard about).

So what's the deal: That's simple I refuse to attend this sought after meeting because obviously they’re going to think I’m just there for the hook-up (and ummmm who would ever think that?). I am right now constantly going in overkill mode. I feel the weirdest ever since I have gotten the chance to meet such random strangers/cousins/friends cousins...yea you get the picture.

My overlaid imagination is getting the best of me…what if their ugly/what if one ever turns out hot and I get nervous all of a sudden(its not like they are going to propose marriage but is nerve-racking nonetheless).

And this is all thanks to their mother who placed me in this weird position. Ahhhhh I feel like I’m such a dimwitted girl who is vulnerable all of a sudden. I’m giving my thoughts to much power, I know… I know.

Ill see them at a Chinese restaurant the day after thanksgiving. Obviously SHE has constantly reminded me of how well crafted and dignified or crazy they are...I feel like I’m about to step in the lion’s lair (if you get what I mean).

My past experiences have never gone that well...I feel like I’m cursed. Once I have high hopes of meeting this new guy, think that he will change and spin my life all around...BAHHH he shuts down or completely ignores me or tries to talk to me then disappears. Surely you’re not the only one with problems.

But I must confess; one appears something that he is not supposed to be

(It’s like one of those famous phrases from Shakespeare: To be or not to be). I know it’s the 21 century but c’mmon hes in his mid 20’s and no GF??? AS IF

My instinct tells me WARNING:Gay

Yes it might sound evil but it’s true.

The other one is to party-playboy for my taste, something tells me something is not right. I’ll disappear in the table, faking that I’m cool and amused with what they have to say.

I have a weird problem of maintaining eye contact, since that type of contact is too powerful yet you feel exposed that anybody can read your thoughts.

My Sought-After Reaction

With this done and said, what do you think? Should I forget this altogether? Relinquish these thoughts once and forever. Desperately become single all my life? Believe in love no more and be bound in shackles for all that done and said?

Leave me a message or interesting response. I can’t wait for somebody to save me from this uncertainty. Peace and Love

Attentively,

A Mafia Story

noreply@blogger.com (Rochelle) — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 06:19:00 +0000

Hoorah Hoorah!!! Its the story of the day.
No It's not what you think...yes maybe a little bit.
There was this story I read about last night.
For you who haven't read about it..its a total shocker and something to really gaze on and grasp upon.
A very unfortunate accident turned to a legendary character story.
From the looks of it you would be surprised.

"Many years ago, Al Capone virtually owned Chicago.
Capone wasn't famous for anything heroic. He was notorious for enmeshing the windy city in everything from bootlegged booze and prostitution to murder.

Al Capone had a lawyer nicknamed "Easy Eddie." He was a great lawyer and kept Capone out of jail for years. "Easy Eddie" acquired much wealth and influence as Capones lawyer, but there were two things "Easy Eddie" couldn't give his own son; he couldn't pass on a good name and a good example.

"Easy Eddie" wanted to rectify the wrongs he had done. He decided he would go to the authorities and tell the truth about Al "Scarface" Capone, clean up his tarnished name and offer his son some semblance of integrity.

Al Capone ended "Easy Eddie's" life in a blaze of gunfire on a lonely Chicago Street. But in Eddie's eyes, he had given his son the greatest gift he had to offer, at the greatest price he would ever pay.

World War II produced many heroes. One such man was Lieutenant Commander Butch O'Hare. He was a fighter pilot assigned to the aircraft carrier Lexington in the South Pacific.One day his entire squadron was sent on a mission. After he was airborne, he looked at his fuel gauge and realized that someone had forgotten to top off his fuel tank.

He would not have enough fuel to complete his mission and get back to his ship. His flight leader told him to return to the carrier. Reluctantly, he dropped out of formation and headed back to the fleet.As he was returning to the mother ship he saw something that turned his blood cold — a squadron of Japanese aircraft were speeding their way toward the American fleet!

The American fighters were gone on a sortie, leaving the fleet all but defenseless. He couldn't reach his squadron and bring them back in time to save the fleet. Nor could he warn the fleet of the approaching danger.There was only one thing to do. He must somehow divert them from the fleet.

Laying aside all thoughts of personal safety, he dove into the formation of Japanese planes. Wing-mounted 50 caliber's blazed as he charged in, attacking one surprised enemy plane and then another. Butch wove in and out of the now broken formation and fired at as many planes as possible until all his ammunition was finally spent. Undaunted, he continued the assault.

He dove at the planes, trying to clip a wing or tail in hopes of damaging as many enemy planes as possible and rendering them unfit to fly.Finally, the exasperated Japanese squadron took off in another direction. Deeply relieved, Butch O'Hare and his tattered fighter limped back to the carrier.

Upon arrival he reported in and related the event surrounding his return. The film from the gun-camera mounted on his plane told the tale. It showed the extent of Butch's daring attempt to protect his fleet. He had in fact destroyed five enemy aircraft.This took place on February 20, 1942, and for that action Butch became the Navy's first Ace of W.W.II, and the first Naval Aviator to win the Congressional Medal of Honor.

A year later Butch was killed in aerial combat at the age of 29. His home town would not allow the memory of this WW II hero to fade, and today, O'Hare Airport in Chicago is named in tribute to the courage of this great man."

How I would picture Eddie and Butch :( RIP

But the most surprising thing about this story is that Butch O'Hare was "Easy Eddie's "SON!!! I KNOW... I KNOW... RIGHT!!!! I love surprising endings especially one that demonstrates the legacy of one man's good sacrifice rectifying of his wrongdoing's for the betterment of his family's name. Then Butch comes along carrying out a great deal of courage sacrificing his own life to save others. I just <3 these stories that make you rectify and make you cherish goodness in all accounts. And for all you well-wishers there's a lesson to learn from us all. It's not the money,glory that matters is what you did to the world that made a difference to somedy else's life. :D

"It all starts with my life, my hobbies, what i think, what displeases me, and what will happen. After one failed attempt on making a blog, I'm creating another one, with the attempt of constructing my soul satisfying needs and finding everlasting subscribers. If not ill just simply make a point in that, and make it my own personal vlog/diary/personal life story/archive junk."Let's Commence......

*Dear Diary..*

"These sections will ultimately describe my feeling of love and the boys that have made it all that interesting or all that stupid (if you ask me)."

*Website Fridays*

"I come up with the latest most interesting sites today..since Im bored of reminding and retelling everybody (nobody seems to listen) then why not tell you, and remind myself <3"

*Random/Puzzled Face*

"Interesting facts, my latest likes and dislikes and why my comments are so insightful"

JK :P

*School Life and Career*

"It centers itself and based on my career interest, the latest money-saving tips..since I love learning myself and delving in helping others..that otherwise I would not exist if it weren't for this. $$$$$$"

And many many more that will come along, so please rate,subscribe,comment, if not then I hope my motivation stops from here...and fail drastically at blogging. :s SO please...Do not ask what I can do for my blog ask what you can do for this blog and contribute.

And if your from another blog and I find it interesting Ill surely subscribe, don't forget to subscribe yourself too. :D
