Veganize Me! →
My blog.  It’s sorta all over the place.  But so am I, fits me perfectly.

Chicken and fish basically has no iron.  Just a little food (no pun intended) for thought… So the whole time I was tired as hell, was probably due to anemia.  I don’t eat red meat too often (maybe once or twice a month, max), and leafy greens weren’t my friends (until now). I have no idea why I felt the need to blog that, but I thought that was important But, if you eat...

Can’t wait until I’m officially complete with setting up my blog.  I already have a few posts, and a new follower!  Exciting, I like meeting new people.  Also from the looks of my blog stats I have other people looking at it (it had 10 views yesterday, and 6 today…better than 0 right?) but I’m not sure who they are.  Maybe they’ll introduce themselves soon?? ...

Deleting this...
Yeah, I started another blog.  On WordPress.  It’s about something I’m really passionate about (which should be true about any blog), and just starting it off is taking a lot of my time.  I’ve been doing tons of research on other blogs similar to the type that I will be having, and it’s crazy how much work goes into it.  One woman said maintaining her blog (updating,...

Vegetarianism
I’m not a vegetarian, yet.  But it’s something that I have always been interested in.  My father is a vegetarian, and my religion promotes vegetarianism, but I was always iffy.   Ever since my father became a vegetarian, my house has seen a decrease in meat use.  My mom now primarily cooks…fish.  And maybe a few oxtails thrown in when she’s making legumes.  That’s...

I think I’m going to delete my facebook account.  Facebook is becoming so…blah.  I’m just going to transfer all of my pictures to my portable hard drive and then delete delete delete!

I have never done a product review.  Mainly because there are more than enough out there.  But I just had an experience that I absolutely must share. Normally, my hair is very dry.  Thirsty.  Drier than the Sahara desert.  Because of this dryness, my curl definition is always eh (on it’s own, with Kinky Curly Curling Custard, my curl definition is POW! but that’s another review)....

When I read the news, sometimes I really want to go and hide underneath a rock.  I know that no one is perfect, and all of humanity is flawed by default, but the ignorance and hatred that so many people spew is sickening.  I think I’m starting to lose hope for the future.

beauitfullybroken asked: The picture you posted about the ground zero, just wanted to say was rather epic. I actually Lol'd hard! I'm glad that there are people like yourself on this earth, who see things for what they are and not for what people think they are (e.g. statue/statstics as shown on picture). Tc.

I’ve been really busy today.  Yup.  I was making hazelnut gelato, watching boondocks, the first 48, say yes to the dress, bringing home baby, and i didn’t know i was pregnant.  very productive day indeed.

List of the things I made: Breakfast - pancakes - frittata Lunch - cream of broccoli soup - chicken caesar salad Dinner - breadsticks - hazelnut gelato - cannolli (sp) with chicken & cheese filling so i didn’t get a chance to finish the dinner. may not seem like a lot, BUT i make everything from scratch.  EVERYTHING. including my pasta and even my caesar dressing (yes i...

FINISHED!!
I finally completed my essay.  I implemented the different comments that my director and the other lady had…and i did a pretty good job of it.   of course my essay isn’t perfect, but it isn’t horrible either.  anyway i read that an essay is more likely to hurt an application than help it.  and i know mine isn’t going to hurt it. i’m a pretty decent writer…i...

please disregard my Calc 2 statement.  obviously people at SDN do not know how to read past the first sentence.  Harvard also accepts other forms of math (like my biostatistics class) I told my director that Harvard was my reach school.  He said no it’s not.  I’m hoping he’s right…

the more i revise this essay, the more i hate it. at least i’m revising it though.

i was browsing through studentdoctor.net and reading through the forums, there are people who have already submitted their primary AND secondary applications. some have already been rejected  (this one guy had a 36 MCAT, 4.0 GPA, and been published four times, and got rejected from Cornell…like wtf??? My stats are lower than his and i’m applying there.  it scares me)   shit. i really...

i think i am legitimately scared of fixing this essay.  every time i think about it, my stomach starts to hurt.  ahhhhh. ok. time to attempt to do this attempt #1

i planned on submitting my med school app by today the latest, except i haven’t finished working on my essay yet. ughhhh and everything else is complete. transcripts are in, all four letters of recommendations, and i filled everything out. i’m just really apprehensive about fixing my essay.  i thought it was great, but after letting someone who sits on the board of admissions for...

i was at the laundromat, and there’s this new Asian guy who works there, and let me tell you, he is SCRUMPTIOUS!!!! idk his nationality yet, i don’t know his name, nor have I heard him speak anything but English (and he obviously speaks another language because of his thick ass sexy accent)…he had on a white (wife) beater, a pair of cargo shorts, and his long hair tied back into...

my mom is super overprotective.  like crazy overprotective.  if i’m out past 10, she flips out and calls me a bajillion times a minute.  which is why i’m trying to go across country for medical school.  not only will she not be able to drop by randomly (as she would be able to do if I went to RWJMS, or even a med school in NYC), the time zone difference would allow me to have some...

so i’m sitting at a light when a car pulls up next to me. i glance over real quick and notice that he’s cute. as i’m minding my own business, i hear him go “excuse me”  i turn, and give him my most charming smile.  then he asked me: “are you a Rasta?”   :-/

i need to start thinking about where i’m going to live next year, since the med schools i’m applying to fall in two categories (well three):  Med schools in NY and med schools in CA…then we have Robert Wood Johnson (eh).   and since both those states are known for their ridiculously high priced living places, I should start saving now.  Or I can completely rely on loans.

i turn 21 in…about a month.  now i’m not a partying type of person, i tend to avoid those like the plague (blame my dislike of groups).  BUT i do want to do something for my 21st.   so my cousin said the club, i said hell no.  i was thinking more dave and busters.  i mean it’s perfect for me.  it might be a bit pricey (there’s a minimum of 20 guests for a bday party, @ at...

hmm i should update on my challenges: project 365 - i’ve kept up with this so far 30 days, 30 letters - i missed a day.  i should have been writing day 5 today, but instead i’m writing day 4, not too bad though 1001 books - lol. let’s not go there. i haven’t touched don quixote since friday.  i’m going to read it again though. pinky swear i should be asleep right...

i interrupt my postings to make this announcement
my fishes are sick :-( they all seem to have velvet, with Ryu having the worst case. it’s basically all over his body, and he’s so lethargic and inactive i nearly cried (yes i love my damned fishes).  i had to turn off his filter because he can barely swim, he just rests at the bottom of his tank.  i don’t know how I missed this.  I remember looking at him this morning noting...

my weight
this is a sensitive topic. well it’s sensitive for most (if not all) females…but anyway so since i started college i gained (at my heaviest) nearly 60 pounds.  60. fucking. pounds.  58 to be exact.  What caused it?  Well everything did.  bad eating habits and laziness.  a typical day for me would include not eating breakfast, maybe eating lunch. eating dinner (since I was ravenous by...

my skin
when I reached puberty, my skin became a mess.  i had a lot of acne.  it was to the point that my mom was trying to find solutions; she kept trying new products, brought me to the dermatologist, and started to blame random things, like tomatoes (don’t ask).  finally a few years later, I got my own skin under control (no thanks to the many visits to dermatologists), and now I only break out...

I have a lot of things on my mind tonight.  so please excuse the many posts.  i just need a place to dump everything

I got my MacBook today.  I didn’t go Pro because honestly, I don’t have the extra $200 to spend.  At first I went to Best Buy, but they have the worst customer service there, and I was waiting at least 15 minutes for someone to help me, and I got angry and left.   So I went to Short Hills Apple store(favorite mall), and I’m glad I did, because I totally forgot about the free...

Some people talk loudly on their phone in...
butthetruthis: But the truth is… They want everyone to hear how exciting their life is.  They shout things like, “Yes, my clothing line will be out this fall” and “I’ll be sure to put you on the guest list.”  These people really have nothing going on.  If they did, they wouldn’t be ballin’ and shot-callin’ from Denny’s.
