Questionable Cheating ?


The numbers keep increasing
Someone out there is being deceiving
Do we stay or keep believing 
That this person wont ever be leaving

What makes it okay for society
To believe in this cheating anxiety
Is it because they want more of a variety
or just something more excitingly 

Is it one person more than the other
Why do we feel the need to hurt each other
In the selfishness of one wanting a new lover
Hoping their secrets will never be uncovered

But who's to say its in everybody's agenda
To compete and be the next contender
Will it just take one person to surrender
Will this be able to stop the next offender

This does not apply to every person
But there are many different versions
Of people who don't mainly believe in excursions
But no one is to say there won't be a reversion

Nowadays it's seen as the norm
Family, friends and lovers are being torn
Should we blame the industry or even porn
For pure roses turning into thorns

This issue has become an written rule
Many of us can easily be fooled
To believe that this world is cruel
But who really supplies this fuel

Not everyone can be judged from another persons mistake
The lessons will be learnt to whoever partakes
Its up to you to separate 
What you've heard from this poetic debate

My Personal 2010 Predictions

Welcome to my first post of 2010.
I hope you all celebrated the new year properly. 







So we are now in the 9th day of the year. I am very thankful to be alive and living life to the fullest.


After months of preparations, I finally began my new year with no negativity. I sorted out my family and friend drama's and I decided to keep positive. 


I started this year off with a smile and I am going to finish it the same way. I have so many plans for the year and this year I will definitely complete all of my plans. 


In past years I would forget about the plans I made at the beginning of the year because my life would take a hold on me and make it difficult for me to complete what I set out to do. 
However this year I made sure that even my life has its bad days I will have something to look at to remind me that I can do "Anything I put my mind to".


Vision Board


Each section has a different meaning and I would like to go through it with you all as it's very important to me and you may also get some ideas from it. 



This is my quote for 2010 "Making the Impossible, Possible !
Meaning no matter what happens in life nothing is impossible. 

Career
I would like to go into Online, Print or Broadcast Journalism.
I am interested in the Celebrity and Music side of Journalism.
Or I am hoping to be a TV Presenter as I love to talk and socialise with people.
Chilling Out
Everyone should pamper themselves when they are not busy with their careers,
All these things posted is what I enjoy to do in my Chilling Time. 
Even though I am a career driven person I know I need to take care of myself as well.

Eating
I am naturally thin, always have been, I'm not sure why though but that's just how it is.
However this year I want to make sure I am eating at least 3 times a day. 
I also have to sort out the times that I eat also. 
I am hoping to put on a few extra pounds just to look healthier. 
I believe a good diet can help my brain as well.
Travel
Being in the UK for 365days isn't my ideal year. 
I love to travel, see new things and how others live. 
I also love the hot weather. 
I have always wanted to go on a Road Trip around Europe, 
I always say it but never do it.
So this year I am going to save up the money and courage and go somewhere new.

By The End Of 2010
I am going to be turning 21 on July 23rd 2010. 
I am very excited and I am going to make sure I celebrate my day with love ones.
I am hoping to have a party as well to celebrate it.
I want to take driving lessons this year as being 20 and 
not being able to drive is not a good look.
I am hoping to graduate this year as my course will be ending.
I am going to learn how to cook and learn a new language.
I can only speak full English and nothing else so I am going to challenge myself.
I love to Dance, I used to when I was younger but I haven't since. 
So I am hoping to look for some dance lessons for the summertime. 


I hope all that I predicted for myself this year will happen and I hope that you may decide to make a vision board so you can plan out your year and achieve anything that you put your mind and heart into.


Love Miss Sav x

Facebook Friends or Stalkers?



Is Facebook an excuse for stalking others?


I have been thinking about this for a while now. 
Can people really describe who there friends who they are?
Do you really need over 1,000 friends to be viewing your life to feel better about yourself?


I understand some people are trying to become famous so they try to add people so they can be fans of theirs.
How do you know that the guy from New Zealand who is 15, is not a 50 year old man from London. 
The internet is not safe as it is but people think that things won't take place on Facebook. Some people have even got fired from their job just because they had one night out where they ended up half naked or drunk. 


But the real question is, 
Would you consider yourself as a stalker, just taking a peek at someone's profile, or just a distant friend you met once but want to know a bit more?
To be honest I used to love people adding me on Facebook, but now I get annoyed when a random random who has 1 mutual friend with someone I rarely know myself. 



My View On My Facebook Friends.


I have 645 friends on Facebook. When I first got Facebook, I just turned 18 and my sister told me it would be a good idea to have it to be social so I signed up.
After a year and a bit of having Facebook, I had 600-700 friends, I realised that people from my high school who generally didn't take notice of me so I deleted everyone who weren't valuable. I was very happy with those 300 people I had left.
Now it's the end of 2009, I have reached over 600 friends and I have realised that I yet again have a lot of people who are not valuable, some were my friends but we are now enemies and so on. 


However I told a few people my plans for 2009 Deletion, I got good and bad replies... some people said you need negative people in your life to motivate you. Others said I should do it, why keep people who give off bad energy.
Hmm I don't know what you think of it but I know I am going ahead with Deletion 2009!

New Year Resolutions




History 
The tradition of new year resolutions began in the early years of Babylonians where they celebrated the first new moon which took place on the first day of spring. However, in 46 BC Julius Caesar established a seasonal calender which established January 1 as the beginning of a new year. 


New Year Resolutions
New year resolutions are made by individuals who make commitments to themselves to form a new lifestyle change or to reform a habit. New year resolutions are either fulfilled or abandoned before the end of the year. 


The end of the year is the best time to reflect on past events which have taken place throughout the year. Now it's a few weeks before new year we all decide to change something so that we can welcome ourselves into a fresh new start. However do we really need to put all this pressure on us to change, why do we want to change when a year ends instead of when we feel the need to change. 


Here's some questions...


Do you make new year resolutions?
How long do they last before you abandon them?
Have you had success when committing to the new changes you've made?
What does the new year mean to you?

Can You Count Your True Friends On One Hand?


Definition of Friendship (Noun)

1. attachment, relationship, bond, alliance, link, association, tie They struck up a close friendship.
2. friendliness, affection, harmony, goodwill, intimacy, affinity, familiarity, closeness, rapport, fondness, companionship, concord, benevolence, comradeship, amity, good-fellowship a whole new world of friendship and adventure. (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/friendship)

The Beginning of Friendships
Friendships these days can be made anywhere, at home, at work, at school, online and many other places. We all need friendships to survive, friends mean a lot to us especially when it's a special occasion or when you need somebody to socialise with. I am honoured to say I have had many good friendships and also many bad friendships. Friends need to grow together to form a tight bond between themselves and others. There are many rules to friendships some may mean more than others. Friends should be honest, loyal, loving, caring and have anattachment in any shape or form.

Socialising vs Popularity
As a child we grow to want to make as many friends as possible as we see it as a great way to have fun and someone to play with when its break, lunchtime or after school activites. When we are children and we are starting to grow up we want to be seen as the popular kid who has many friends who are fond of them. However as you begin to grow you realise that being the popular kid has its good and bad points like everything else in life.

For example, if your a popular person you have to keep up with that role and if someone takes over that particular role you may not be popular anymore. As people can change their minds very quickly.


Big Groups Of Friends
It's good to have a big group of friends as they are there on special occasions and they are able to share and celebrate it with you and others. However when the celebration is over and it's everyday life again, will those people be contactable or at least contact you once in a while. We all have busy lives but when a friend is upset or needs a shoulder to lean on we are expected to rise up to the occasion.

Online Social Networking Friends.
These days mostly everyone has 500-1,000+ friends on social networking sites such as, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and many more. That's good because you are being social with people all around the world and you are able to comunicate with those who you never thought you'd meet and you can form new bonds with them and have a long distance friendship.However these friends are your acquaintances because you communicate while online and most of time you don't see them on a day to day basis.



Conclusion & Questions
In this blog I wanted to describe what the title "True friends count for one hand" meant. I know that now I have matured into a young adult, I have begun to realise that friends will come and go and which friends will be approved to join the one or two I have counted on my hand and whether those I have counted will be there in the next 5years. I know at least one of them will be around but it's my job to find the rest.




Can you count all your true friends on one hand? - If it's more, explain why?
The more friends you have the more valuable they are? - Is this true? or false?


"Friendships; are like flowers, they need water and photosynthesis to grow and mature.However if the flower doesn't have these things it will not grow or survive for very long" - SQ

Can You Really Fall For Someone Online?

Compter Love Pictures, Images and Photos




Online Messages

Today, I got another interesting funny message in my inbox on MySpace. It was yet another guy who had read my profile or been through my pictures and decided I was the woman for him. I mean the guy has never spoken to me before and I haven't said two words to him and already he gave out his number, email address and so on. 


The real question is, can you judge someone from a picture? or even a descriptive about me page?
I think people are quick to judge someone thinking they have a chance by writing down their number and waiting by the fone. Do you really think I'm just going to dial that number and speak to a stranger. That's like going into a strangers car just because they said something nice to you in a matter of minutes. #CmonSon, I think people need to get to know someone before they think that's their dream person.


Can you really be someone's dream digital girl or guy? 
I mean a guy or girl can express their love to you online but how do you know if that person is real or fake and can you fall in love with someone over just words. I think in some cases some people tend to get with someone over the internet and fall in love. But that doesn't mean everyone will or that person they met online was really that amazing person they fell for online.


Views & Opinions




THIS_IS_O #Shoutout 2 niggaz fallin in love over twitter myspace and facebook #cmonson you never met her son get da fuck outta here wit dat bullshit

[Part 1] My Journey from Average to Extraordinary



In this blog I will discuss how I found my way from being an average joe to an extraordinary person.


The Exam Results.
This morning I received results from an exam I had taken last Thursday. I was very certain that I would pass the exam with flying colours. However when I received my results that wasn't the case. I had only just scrapped a pass, I couldn't believe it. I had spent a week and a half revising, going through different methods of how to get all the information into my head. But then I still came out with the average result.



Average
I thought negatively to myself, why am I always average?. I am a hard worker and I am always determined to do well in whatever I commit myself to. I have always been a nerd when it comes to my studies, I take everything seriously and I attend every class. But why am I the average student who receives average results. 

It was about time that I stepped out of being the average joe and to turn myself into an extraordinary person. With guidance from love ones around me I decided to put my brain into gear and think of where I wanted to see myself at the start of my career in 2010.  

Career Ideas
I have always been a fan of the media and how celebrities live their lives. I am interested in radio and television and how they speak to their audiences and inform them on the current news media. I am a very social person who loves to talk to others and I also like guiding them. 

I consider myself as being an online geek at times as I know my fair share about technology and I can even touch type. So I know I would be cut out for any of these career options. 

However I have always been a blog reader, I love how people write down detail accounts of their lives and also other peoples lives e.g. celebrities. 

My Journey from Average to Extraordinary
I was then able to come across an idea, why not be extraordinary and use all these career options to help guide me into an amazing career.I could blog in times where I wasn't busy also I could subscribe my viewers or readers to my blog so that they can get news from whichever job I apply and work for. I am excited about starting 2010 with a bang. I took advice from Shanel Cooper Sykes about going from Ordinary to Extraordinary and to find something which makes me different from the rest. I think I finally understand it and I am now planning to take advantage of my future prospects.


Are you Average or Extraordinary? 
If you are extraordinary, explain why?

#RuleOfRelationships


One of the top topic's on Twitter at the moment is the #RuleOfRelationships. 
  • What do you consider as a rule of a relationship?
  • Do we make up the rules so we can keep an eye on our partners every move? 
  • Or are we left to think that rules should be made but never be broken?
  • How far would you go before you tell your partner they are not living by the rules of a relationship.
Hmm...
Check out the twitter topic to see what other people think about Rules of a Relationship.

Go Hard

(Personal Blog Entry)
My Views...
At first I wasn't too sure of how to Go Hard, I knew I wanted to but I didn't have a clue of how to do it. I have had many haters but I wasn't sure how I could be confident enough to face them or to at least have the courage to ignore it.


Inspirational Music...
I first heard a song called Go Hard by Lethal B & Doneo (UK Artists), some of the lyrics stood out to me "Hi hater, bye hater" and also "I gotta go hard". However I was still unsure what they mean't about go hard. 


I finally found the song called Go Hard by Nicki Minaj feat Lil Wayne and the phrase Go Hard had a new clearer meaning. 


In the first few minutes of the song it says:
" My tears have dried, And I know that no weapon formed Against me will prosper. And I truly Believe that my haters are my motivators."


These lyrics really hit me hard, as I realised I was hiding from my haters not showing them that I am motivated to try harder because of them.


The next step...
I knew now what to do so I began thinking in a Go Hard way and my confidence grew stronger. I explained the Go Hard situation to my cousin Cee Cee and she said she was glad I found out the best way to get these haters to see that I am not going to let them ruin my future. She also agreed that the Nicki Minaj song gave her a new outlook on haters.

So me and Cee Cee were sitting online and we were thinking of what to call ourselves as we are very close cousins/friends so we thought we needed others to know that we are both Going Hard and for the haters to realise we are not alone in this Go Hard scheme so we called ourself Go Hard Gurlz as it clarifies what we were thinking.


I think that the name Go Hard Gurlz will remind us that we have gotta Go Hard in this life as there will always be haters.

This is gonna go down in history!


Since the VMA's Kanye West speech has been the talk of the online social sites. On Twitter people have made their own versions of Kanye's Speech. Now someone has created a Tshirt which you can order online. I believe this speech will go down in history. Kanye's got himself popular now whether it's good or bad press.




(Information about the Tshirt was found on GlobalGrind.Com.)

Broadcast Journalism.

I am very happy today as I wasn't happy with one of my university classes so I decided to email my lecturer and ask him to change it. I had to wait a few extra days to find out but I am now happy to say that I now have a place in the the Broadcast Journalism class. I am very interested in TV and radio as it's something I think I'm good at, in a few years time you never know I could be on MTV or at the VMA's hosting, if Russell Brand can do it, why can't I?

It's Just A Twitter Thing

www.wefollow.com

When I first signed up to Twitter back in March 2009, I wasn't sure what the big deal was about. However I have recently begun to investigate what Twitter is actually used for.


I was able to find a directory website called "www.wefollow.com". The site is useful for all Twitter members who are finding it hard to find people on Twitter. There are numerous links that you are able to click on to find the person/people you are looking for.

I think Twitter has helped me a lot recently and I am looking forward to finding more interesting people on there.

#HowDareYou


The other week I signed on to my twitter and thought great no one replies to my statuses. However I realized people's statuses started or ended with #HowDareYou... So I thought I'd check it out. The kind of things people write on that page is so funny, but some of the things said on there is so true. So if you ever sat up bored at early hours of the morning. Just get a twitter account and type in your own status starting or ending with #HowDareYou and click on the #HowDareYou part. Have fun. xxx

New Space

I looked through my fone the other day after having it for a year. I realized that I had saved every single text message that had been sent to my fone. My fone was clogged up with good and bad memories from 2008 until now. So I knew it was time for a clear out.

Then I went online to realize I had random websites from years ago and many friends on my facebook who I never spoke to and email addresses which I don't use anymore. So I knew it was time for another clear out.


This new space clear out was an idea I got from Shanel Cooper-Sykes website where there is a chapter named K.I.S.S and it has a paragraph on New Space.

So I took what she said into consideration and made space for all the new things in my life instead of clogging myself full of past memories and junk.



I now feel free and refreshed. Now I'm just looking forward for my birthday on Thursday as I will be turning 20. I am also looking forward to finishing my final year at university in September which will end in 2010.

Views On Friendship!

Me, my sister and my cousin had an interesting conversation with my father the other day as he told us about his definition of friends. I thought it was great advice so I thought I'd share it with you...

...There are two types of friends; ones who are there for you & ones who are there for your money...

...There is no such thing as good friends they are either just your friends or your acquaintances...

A Woman's Intuition



I was online on Facebook when I came across a link to this video of a woman speaking about men and woman's relationships so I thought I'd click on it to see what it was all about.

Shanel Cooper-Sykes has published a book called
THE MODERN GIRL’S GUIDE TO BEING A DOMESTIC GODDESS. When I started reading the book I realised how much sense she was speaking and how useful it would be to others. The youtube video's are also ideal to listen too.

25 Lessons

1) Sometimes blood isn't thicker than water

2)A man or woman who wants to be with you, will make time for you...No excuses

7) If someone hurts you and they know they did... don't let them know that its hurting you just smile and let them know that their words don't mean a thing.

8) Never give 100% of yourself to anyone..always keep something within, it might save your life

9) Everyone has been in good/bad relationships, it just depends on how each person looks at the situation to how they will describe it... you should learn from every experience it can also make you a better person.

10) Speaking of love, only say it when you mean it or it loses it's power and purpose

11) You can't tell people to change unless they want to change for themselves... sometimes people will never change so you either have to deal with it or just move on

12) Agree to disagree..stop wasting precious moments of your life arguing about something that can't or won't change.

18) Love didn't hurt you, that person did.. so don't be afraid to love again

19) Make sure that chapter is closed before starting a new relationship..keep all baggage where it belongs..in the past not the present

20) Make the most of your life, you are your own fate..there is no one to blame but you..assume the responsibility for all of your actions

21) Tomorrow is not promised to you, don't take your blessings for granted..appreciate all that you have

22) Remain humble, there will be people who think that they are better than you and who think they are going to be more successful than you but its up to you to keep your head up high and do your own thing.

23) Try not to be the "sheep" and follow others, sometimes its just easier to be yourself...trust me you should never follow other peoples paths as its easier to make your own

24) In order for good things to happen in life you have to go through the bad in order to find it

25) Never say never... sometimes the impossible can change to be possible
