2 | my love Cars & Calories [8.11PM||8.10.06] finally no more work! so i've been workin on some lj icons today. they're nothing much - i just like to play. sorry no lj-cut. i forgot how to do one. hahahaha! >.

[4.22PM||7.22.06] [ music | Shake Ya Tailfeather//Nelly ft. P. Diddy & Murphy Lee ] so bored. but not bored enough to spend too much time on lj icons.

2 | my love [5.56PM||7.9.06] i've been reading for the better part of the day and realized that i totally miss it. i used to spend days at a time (esp during the summer) just reading book after book. there's no satisfaction quite as good as getting to the end of a book. but of course this was all interrupted by quite the phone call. brian called me amidst my book-reading to tell me that i'm going to not only meet his parents this weekend (very stressful pour moi) but apparently his parents also want to meet my parents. EEEEK. so i had to destress through icon-making. here's one.

1 | my love i woke up at 7:30 thinking it was time for work. [10.45AM||7.8.06] so i decided to make some icons. hahahaha.

Fighting AIDS & Cancer [8.25PM||6.10.06] [ music | Butterfly//Mariah Carey ] In the past week, two new drugs have been shown to successfully fight AIDS/prevent cervical cancer (mainly due to HPV). This article explains the new drug PA-457, which has decreased HIV cells in blood tenfold in a matter of hours. The only problem is, it is in the early stages of testing and thus won't be made available to the public until 2009. The new vaccine to prevent cervical cancer has had tremendous success in women (100% effective) and can now be administered to girls as young as 9 years old. However, be weary if you already have HPV because the vaccine can exacerbate symptoms. I'm hoping that this is a new turn in medicine and to those fighting cancer & AIDS.

ONE.org-- a fight against poverty & aids [10.01PM||6.9.06] CONS one.org is a good idea. however, it doesn't look at the big picture. more than just africa are in severe poverty. if you look at a world map, many countries in asia are also seriously depraved. in order to fight worldwide poverty, you cannot just target one continent. you must target all countries it pertains to. PROS this is definitely the best campaign out there to fight poverty. it doesn't want a donation of money toward poverty--it has plans to allocate it. and the plans are very effective. educating people about health and building up technology, such as sewer systems and such are very important. and this organization has brought a lot of publicity. because of one.org, at the g8 summit, not only did they decide a large monetary increase, but they also decided to provide medicine for aids victims. but as citizens/residents of the united states, i urge all of you to 1) push for a worldwide aid for poverty--not just africa and to 2) really push for the g8 to provide EDUCATION as one of its primary goals. education is super important in the fight against both aids, as well as poverty! prevention of aids includes knowledge about condoms and other health-related factors. mothers need to know how to take care of their children. and how to deter the spread of aids. poverty-stricken people must also know about cleanliness and other health-related facts to increase the level of well-being. in addition, education decreases the number of children per household/family, which makes it easier for parents to support. (education also decreases infant mortality rates which is in due part because of health and knowledge of better child care.) education about technology can expedite civilization through the building of better housing, better sewage systems (to increase health once again. a main factor.), etc. education about technology can also increase their crop yields, which leads to better health. please, this is a plea to get people thinking. and to take action. if we care so much about the war against terror to make those in the middle east live in a safer, hate-free environment, why can't we make just a little effort to those who cause no threat to us? and are still dying...every day. i often find lots of good causes to fight for but i never seem to actually voice it. i think it's time for a month long push for good causes.

4 | my love [9.00AM||2.16.06] [ music | more than a feeling (a capella)//nsync ] i absolutely love the smell of spring. and you know what that smells like--it's a little heavier, moister with a hint of sweet nectar scent. mm. spring. hopefully waking up to the smell and look of spring means a good rest of the day. (: on another note, valentine's day is over. i learned many things all of which have to do with food: breadco has awesome food and espresso has awesome desserts. mmmm!
