Today I would be writing many posts except

Kindness>Weakness

It amazes me how people often mistake someone's kindness 

...For a weakness.

Being considerate to others has never been a crime until NOW.

You can't be considerate to others without them thinking that

They can consequently do whatever they want to you.

I have learned this week that although it takes strength 

To be caring to other in a selfish world,

It is idiotic to be caring towards other people

Because you think that it is expected of you.
In this process, you become a doormat to others.

Kindness is more than respect;

It is a genuine concern for the others well being.

But if there is no reciprocity,

There is no need to have one's kindness turned into a weakness.

There is no need to let others take advantage of you.

So if you are out there thinking 

That being considerate to everybody is the right thing to do,

Make sure you realize who really matters 

And if that person deserves your kindness.

There is no uglier thing that to be abused 

Because you are a nice caring person.

Stay guarded,

Gigi

Small Big Things!

Sometimes, we don't realize how the small things matter in our lives.
A smile, a call, a touch, a memory;
These smalls things affect us more then we think.
We often take them for granted.
And today I realized that often the "things" that
We think are not so important in our lives...pretty much are.
Sometimes, all it takes is a smile-wink-look to make one happy.
Sometimes, it takes appreciating the small "things" in our lives
To fully cherish the big ones.
So, if you are out there thinking that what you do doesn't matter
I am here to tell you that you are wrong.
NO matter how small the gesture is,
NO matter how far the memories are engraved

It counts. It always counts.

Sometimes all it takes a small amount of appreciation
To make the world look a little bit brighter.
Stay positive,
Gigi

Put a Smile On

Today someone did something nice for me just because.

My birthday was a week and a day ago (May 28th) and

Today I received some home-made cake with ice cream------>8 days after.

Now, this really surprised me

Because a LONG LONG time ago, I learned that people don't just do nice stuff for me
....just because

Yet today it happened to ...ME.

So I learned that sometimes people do nice stuff for others just because they care
...even if it is a little.

So readers, the food for thought for today is that

You can't based your opinions of others based on prior misconceptions.

Not everyone behaves the same way and most importantly 

Not everyone will repeat the same mistakes of others.

Maybe sometimes it is good to give the benefit of the doubt to others

Because once in awhile, we get experience some unselfish act of kindness

That makes us think that there is still love in this crazy world.

Stay Optimistic,

Gigi

BEST. COMMERCIAL. EVER.

Adulthood

Last night I decided that I wanted to cook some authentic Haitian food. Since I live alone and no longer have the luxury to mooch off my mother's cooking I had to pull out the pots and pans and get to it.

I let the chicken to be seasoned overnight and after class one hour I cooked some rice and beans, some chicken in sauce and some baked chicken.

And I was amazed at how much I had changed over the years. When I was younger, you couldn't pay me to cook dinner. I hated it. It was more a chore then anything. For all I cared, everybody could have starved if they were waiting on me to cook for them. lol

Now as I am fresh into adulthood, I really feel like an adult with all my bills.

And I am glad, that I am no longer a child.

I think there is a time for everything.
And part of life is leaving behind one's childlike manners to acquire life skills
Sometimes, change is good.
If I hadn't changed, currently I would be dying of starvation lol.
Gaining maturity is a process that we all have to go through.
The early you gain it, the better off you are.
So readers, embrace your the changes that adulthood brings into your life.

Love,Gigi

A Job is A Job?

So today I was listening to the radio, and it seemed like every station was giving some song featuring Lil Wayne or some other song with Gucci Mane. Now correct me if I am wrong, but aren't these two hum..gentlemen (?) in jail?

Gucci Mane has been chilling like a villain for like a year....and Lil Wayne well Lil Wayne is Lil Wayne.

And yet they have music videos coming out, songs being hits...like seriously?

Where can I find a job like that????

I want to be able to disappear from the face of the earth for a year and still make money every day!

I know for a fact a Biology/Biotech degree will not allow that! 

My boss would probably ask me if I had been sniffing the acetone in the lab if I were to ask for such a deal lol.

But as I was listening to the radio, that's all I could think was "must be nice"

Can the government come up with positions like that? hum...yes I am serious

I am graduating in December and hum I would really like to see this happen lol

Thank you very much President Obama!

Am I the only one who thought about that at some point this year?

Love>Hate

I saw this quote and it just clicked!

If instead of trying to figure out ways NOT to love each other or

Ways NOT to be with each other,
We as humans actually took a chance on love, 

Maybe, just maybe the world would be a better place.

Although love tends to make us vulnerable, I think that

It's amazing and actually quite scary to know that a person,

A normal person, gets under your skin so much that

They can actually touch your heart without even trying.

Being vulnerable is definitively NOT the best feeling in the world.

However, to know that you can actually be vulnerable is good I supposed.

It lets you know that you are human.

And choosing to be vulnerable with someone is courageous

So that's why it clicked in my mind today!

Love takes courage!

Hate is so oh so boring in comparison (It's like wasting molecules of energy)

On the other hand, love is like this "thing" that is too deep for words,

So it's pointless trying to describe it,

And it's better to just live it....with courage!

Get it?

I hope it clicked for you guys too!

Say no to hate!

Yo Side....of the Bed...

Although I respect all the army/navy/marines/air force men and women who are fighting for the country. I would never want one of my close relatives to enroll.

I think I would die of anxiety.

Trey Songz (hum Trey Songz) has a new video called Yo Side of the Bed that is oh so emotional. Instead of studying, I am sharing the new video with you guys! Enjoy!

Please keep all the soldiers in your prayers! ♥

One!

So today as I was browsing the web I discovered this video.
If if you ask me its pretty amazing.
The girl in the video is Sheena . 
For one whole year, she has worned the same dress!
That is 12 months, 365 days if you forgot!
Well she added accessories to the dress, which for some reason doesn't always look like the same dress since this girl is a genius at styling!!!!

The reason for this one year-one dress mission is the Uniform project which raises money for the Akanksha Foundation, which is an organization devoted to education reform in India.In the end, Shena managed to collect $95,089 =264 kids in school!!!!
Pretty Amazing if you ask me!

After watching this video all I could think was "What I am doing with my life?" lol
I love it . You should watch it .
Gigi!


Here is the Video! Enjoy!
