		<description><![CDATA[HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;
Since that&#8217;s out of the way&#8230;time for a real post.
Life has been busy but not to the extremes. I always forget to update my blogs because I either get preoccupied doing something else, or what I was going to blog about slips my mind. It&#8217;s sad really. I feel like I&#8217;m neglecting all these blogs I worked so hard on creating and maintaining.
So let me give you a quick rundown of where I&#8217;m at and what&#8217;s going on in my life.

I&#8217;m going to be an aunt again but this time with a perk &#8211; I&#8217;m the godmother of my niece Jahnaya who&#8217;s due date is this December. Here&#8217;s a 4-D ultrasound pic I uploaded ...]]></description>

<p>Since that&#8217;s out of the way&#8230;time for a real post.</p>
<p>Life has been busy but not to the extremes. I always forget to update my blogs because I either get preoccupied doing something else, or what I was going to blog about slips my mind. It&#8217;s sad really. I feel like I&#8217;m neglecting all these blogs I worked so hard on creating and maintaining.</p>
<p>So let me give you a quick rundown of where I&#8217;m at and what&#8217;s going on in my life.</p>
<ul>
<li>I&#8217;m going to be an aunt again but this time with a perk &#8211; I&#8217;m the godmother of my niece Jahnaya who&#8217;s due date is this December. Here&#8217;s a <strong><a href="http://twitpic.com/mc3c6" target="_blank">4-D ultrasound pic</a></strong> I uploaded recently. *can&#8217;t wait*</li>
<li>I&#8217;m officially 24 years old now! My birthday was on October 29th. Had lots of fun with the fam and the gifts were awesome too.</li>
<li>November is going to be a busy month. Got my dad&#8217;s and nephew&#8217;s birthday. Also have a baby shower to throw for my sister&#8230;Not to mention it&#8217;s probably a good time to get out in the mall and start some early Christmas shopping before all the snow and crazy shoppers come by. Oh ya&#8230;can&#8217;t forget &#8211; <em><strong>&#8220;NEW MOON&#8221;</strong></em> out in November!!! <img src="http://blog.pimentels-photography.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/kyay.gif" class="wp-smiley" /></li>
<li>Still deciding whether or not I want to go back to college and take some course I&#8217;m interested in. Oh ya&#8230;if I did decide, the funds are not there since I&#8217;m currently unemployed and I&#8217;d have to figure out some sort of school loan thingy which I&#8217;m not sure I want to get into.</li>
<li>Still single &#8211; by choice. I&#8217;ve had some guys I&#8217;ve been talking to, but nothing I want to pursue further than friendship or a one time fling. I&#8217;m still trying to figure out my life and would rather not get distracted with guys, issues, and drama. Trust me, I have more than enough of that crap in my life at the moment.</li>
</ul>
<p>So ya&#8230;that&#8217;s pretty much my life right now in a nutshell.</p>

<p>I am so excited to finally try out the <a href="http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patchnotes/#3.2.0" target="_blank"><strong>latest patch (3.2)</strong></a> for the World of Warcraft online game&#8230;.and yes I&#8217;m a chick who plays this game &#8211; shocking isn&#8217;t it!! LOL!</p>
<p>This latest patch is going to add quite a few new things and some changes that are just going to be awesome!!</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Crusaders&#8217; Coliseum</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"> Isle of Conquest 40 vs 40 player battleground</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">New </span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Argent Tournament dailies, quests, and rewards</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Emblem changes &amp; the new </span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Emblem of Triumph (time to farm heroics for Conquest emblems and finish off my T8.5 set &#8212; yes&#8230;u can now get CONQUEST EMBLEMS FROM HEROICS. WOOT!!)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">New </span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">zeppelin outside Thunder Bluff</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">New Portal that takes you to the Dark Portal for easy transportation to Outlands in ALL MAJOR CITIES&#8230; finally!! No more long traveling to get from point A to point B.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Did I mention LEVEL 20 MOUNTS!!!! Wohooo&#8230;.finally faster to travel around without having to wait until level 30 to get a mount. Also faster ground mount speed at level 40 instead of 60 and flying mount at level 60 instead of 70.<br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Potions = stacks with 20 instead of 5 (thank god &#8211; more bag space)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">and so much more&#8230;</span></li>
</ul>
<p>Seriously&#8230;this new patch is bringing in way too many things to list. Read the <a href="http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patchnotes/#3.2.0" target="_blank"><strong>patch notes</strong></a> if you haven&#8217;t yet because the servers will most likely end up crashing with the amount of players logging on once maintenance is over with. By the way&#8230;they come up at 3pm PDT which is 6pm EST.  <img src="http://blog.pimentels-photography.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/kyay.gif" class="wp-smiley" /></p>

Can&#8217;t believe how long it&#8217;s been since I last sat down to actually write a blog post. Damn&#8230;feels like an ancient hobby of the past. Hopefully I can swing back into the hang of things and actually get some decent posts out. In the meantime, I&#8217;ll be switching the look of the site. Need a fresh start&#8230;a new beginning in a sense, so excuse the mess if things are a bit wonky or not working as they should be.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Howdy,</p>
<p>Can&#8217;t believe how long it&#8217;s been since I last sat down to actually write a blog post. Damn&#8230;feels like an ancient hobby of the past. Hopefully I can swing back into the hang of things and actually get some decent posts out. In the meantime, I&#8217;ll be switching the look of the site. Need a fresh start&#8230;a new beginning in a sense, so excuse the mess if things are a bit wonky or not working as they should be.</p>
<p>So where have I been seems the topic of a bunch of emails I&#8217;ve gotten over the months. I am sincerely sorry for never responding. Life has been&#8230;tough. Trying to figure out what you want to accomplish in life, picking up the pieces of the past that haunts you, and just moving on has pretty much taken up any time. I also lost interest in the blogging community. Guess my time away has been a hiatus of some sort&#8230;.but I am back for now!!</p>
<p>Also, if you haven&#8217;t noticed&#8230;I have switched my twitter account. So please follow me <a href="http://twitter.com/moonz69" target="_blank"><strong>@moonz69</strong></a>. Stay tuned for more posts! xD</p>
<p><strong>[EDIT:] </strong>Yes, I&#8217;m aware that the comments page has not been working and will try to fix it asap. &#8211; FIXED!! woot</p>

I had already assumed so because I heard this plenty of times before. Even some therapists suggest it to patients who are struggling with certain issues in their lives.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes&#8230;keeping a journal or diary is actually good for you according to <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1146033/Keeping-diary-good-puts-things-perspective-says-scientists.html" target="_blank"><strong>this article</strong></a>.</p>
<p>I had already assumed so because I heard this plenty of times before. Even some therapists suggest it to patients who are struggling with certain issues in their lives.</p>
<p>When I was younger, I had diaries with those little lockets. I&#8217;m sure most people can recall them. I stopped writing in diaries because of nosy people in my family. Then, I learned about blogging and have been blogging about my life ever since.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m actually considering going back and writing journals again. There&#8217;s something about actually inking it yourself that makes it even more personal. Plus, I like having a journal with me wherever I am, so I can write thoughts down and reflect at a later time. With blogging, well&#8230;I don&#8217;t have a laptop, so I can&#8217;t just blog anywhere. I have to be physically at a computer. But even so, it&#8217;s just not that intimate as opposed to writing in a journal yourself.</p>
<p>Plus, there&#8217;s actually things in my personal life that are really starting to affect me more than it should. Things that make you think both good and bad things&#8230;sometimes horrible even. Things I cannot and will not post online because they are that private. But c&#8217;est la vie.</p>

The Man Rules­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­
At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down
Finally , the guys&#8217; side of the story. (I must admit, it&#8217;s pretty good.) We always hear &#8220;the rules&#8221; from the female side.
Now here are the rules from the male side.
These are our rules!
Please note.. these are all numbered &#8220;1 &#8221;

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The Man Rules­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­</strong></span></p>
<p>At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down</p>
<p>Finally , the guys&#8217; side of the story. (I must admit, it&#8217;s pretty good.) We always hear &#8220;the rules&#8221; from the female side.</p>
<p>Now here are the rules from the male side.</p>
<p>These are our rules!<br />
Please note.. these are all numbered &#8220;1 &#8221;<br />
ON PURPOSE!</p>
<p>1.   Men are NOT mind readers.</p>
<p>1. Learn to work the toilet seat.<br />
You&#8217;re a big girl. If it&#8217;s up, put it down.<br />
We need it up, you need it down.<br />
You don&#8217;t hear us complaining about you leaving it down.</p>
<p>1. Sunday sports It&#8217;s like the full moon<br />
or the changing of the tides.<br />
Let it be.</p>
<p>1. Crying is blackmail.</p>
<p>1. Ask for what you want.<br />
Let us be clear on this one:<br />
Subtle hints do not work!<br />
Strong hints do not work!<br />
Obvious hints do not work!<br />
Just say it!</p>
<p>1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.</p>
<p>1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That&#8217;s what we do.<br />
Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.</p>
<p>1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.<br />
In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days.</p>
<p>1. If you think you&#8217;re fat, you probably are.<br />
Don&#8217;t ask us</p>
<p>1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the   other one</p>
<p>1. You can either ask us to do something<br />
Or tell us how you want it done.<br />
Not both.<br />
If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.</p>
<p>1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials&#8230;</p>
<p>1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.</p>
<p>1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.<br />
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.</p>
<p>1. If it itches, it will be scratched.<br />
We do that.</p>
<p>1. If we ask what is wrong and you say &#8220;nothing,&#8221; We will act like nothing&#8217;s wrong.<br />
We know you are lying , but it is just not worth the hassle.</p>
<p>1. If you ask a question you don&#8217;t want an answer to, Expect an answer you don&#8217;t want to hear.</p>
<p>1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine&#8230; Really .</p>
<p>1. Don&#8217;t ask us what we&#8217;re thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball<br />
or golf.</p>
<p>1. You have enough clothes.</p>
<p>1. You have too many shoes.</p>
<p>1. I am in shape.  Round IS a shape!</p>
<p>1. Thank you for reading this.</p>
<p>Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;</p>
<p>But did you know men really don&#8217;t mind that? It&#8217;s like camping.</p>
<p>Pass this to as many men as you can &#8211; to give them a laugh.</p>
<p>Pass this to as many women as you can &#8211; to give them a bigger laugh.</p>
