So I have decided to follow my heart and write a blog about my favorite TV Novelas and dramas. Although I wanted to write often on my Bonifacio, Dominican not Italian blog, I have not been writing nearly as much as I would have liked to. I do love all the artwork that I have posted on here though.
In summary, this is my last entry. No worries, I will be merging posts from this blog to the new one. I believe I have had one reader, my husband. I might show the blog to my new kitten but I doubt I will.
Cya in my new blog!

BloGGG!! Addictions
HOT NEW: Wow I am impressed with how many entries I have. Well today is confession day. I must admit that I have been bad. I am currently semi-addicted to:
Cityville
Dragons of Atlantis
Restaurant City
Market Street
Games
Cafe Life
Bubble Island (haven't play that in a month)
I must say the first two I am more addicted than the others, I can do without them.
It's interesting how two years ago I didn't play any games at all. My friend YDJ was really into Cafe World, and that was my introduction to Facebook games. I have gone as far as creating a separate Facebook account just for gaming. I had to. As much as the game is fun, I noticed other people were cluttering my page with game posts and I was spamming other people with my game posts as well. I decided I needed a solution.
I currently only spam people that want to be spammed. People that play the game on a daily basis like me.
What makes me worried is not only the amount of time I dedicate to these games, but the amount of time OTHER people dedicate to these games. I am married with no children. I find all kinds of people playing FB games and I am wondering, especially those that have children, if perhaps their time should be redirected elsewhere.
Perhaps people have always been like this though. If you think about it, not only on the online world but you can find additions in everyday life. Adrenaline rush, television, alcohol, smoking, their work etc. Perhaps everyone has their addition but it just so happens that some are accepted while others are shunned upon.
Hummm... it's an idea but even I know that's not true. Everything in moderation, that's what they say, right? Right?
Side Note: I really am addicted to Facebook games, what the hell is semi- addicted anyways. Hello, I dedicated a whole blog post to it!!

Sounds Come Alive
As I lay in my bed
Tyring to clear my head
I hear sounds all around
That disturb my thoughts, the night, my life
Creeping, lurching in the shadows
stands a man that makes a claim
My clamy hands reach out and I shout
"Whose there?"
But no sounds come alive
How will I survive this lonely night
Knowing this man in my dreams
exsists in real life?

A Hectic Day
Hot News: I hate how expensive international air rates are.
So in the events of today, my grandmother in DR is really sick. I have been talking back and forth with family in Dominican Republic to try to see what is happening over there. My mom of course goes a-wall but somehow we managed to calm her down and wait to see how events unfold.
Quick note about D.R. - It's a third world country that shares the Island, Hispaniola, with Haiti. In case you're wondering if the rumors are true, yes, Dominicans ARE extremely racist towards the Haitian people. Why? Some say because of their dark skin, others because once upon a time Haiti had control over the entire Island and treated Dominicans as second class citizens and some are just pain afraid of Haitians practicing voodoo on them. Honestly, whatever the reason, racism is irrational and can not be justified by any means, yet it happens. My perspective: we need to educate ourselves and acknowledge that wrongs have been done on BOTH sides. Right now Haiti is going through a crisis and we should lend a helping hand. I am aware of the 6 million dollars president Leonel Fernandez gave Haiti when the earthquake went down and the packed Dominican hospitals but somehow the feeling still lingers that change does not happen that fast. Years of rivalry won't end that easily. Still, I'm hoping for the best.
On a Side Note: My grandmother seems to be doing well. My father has gone down to the hospital and will keep me updated on the events. He's been in DR for the past 4 months.
Closing Note: When I figure out how to post pictures I'll put one up of my beautiful island. Ciao Blog.

First Entry
Hot News: A protest is happening in the streets of Egypt. It's mind boggling when countries we rarely hear news about, all of a sudden just storm to the forefront. A lot of this has been happening more recently. An estimated 20,000 protesters in both Cairo and Alexandria gathered together to boot out the current president from office. Astonishing!
For me, the biggest news came last January with the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti. A hurricane of that strength comes around and it just so happens to hit the poorest nation on the Western hemisphere… It hit home for me since Haiti’s neighboring country is Dominican Republic. I didn’t even know we could get earthquakes. I thought we’d be exempt from earthquakes as we’re stuck with hurricanes every summer. Mother Nature works in mysterious way.
In my opinion, all predictions regarding Haiti have come true. Other nations seem to just be throwing money Haiti's way, but, progress is not coming soon enough. Haiti has recently has been struck again with another disaster, Cholera. Can it get worse??? I fear it's possible but I'd rather keep those thoughts to myself.
On a Personal Note: I am excitedly waiting for my interview with the NYC teaching fellows on Thursday. Unusually I started this blog, months before I must go to my true calling and perhaps this blog will cease abruptly. I don't expect to have any flowerers for this blog, so the termination of this blog doesn't bother me at all.
End Note: I hope everyone receives the knowledge they were meant to get. As for me, I'll be venting out my frustrations and delights here again next time.
