The average person tells 4 lies a day or 1460 a year. A total of 88,000 by the age of 60. And the most common lie: I’M FINE.

a friend of mine once said "half the time people say they're joking, they're really not.."

just joking.
because i admit, i can be heartless sometimes..but heres to a more relaxed video of heartless...what i seem to be when it comes to most relationships.

Its the simple things..

...in life we forget.

30 simple pleasures life has to offer.
1. Sleeping In on a Rainy Day – As the rain beats lightly against the window, you nestle your head deeper into your pillow. The sound is soothing and your bed feels like a sanctuary. There is no place you would rather be.
2. Finding Money You Didn’t Know You Had – You reach into your pocket and find a $20 bill from the last time you wore these jeans. You aren’t rich, but you are richer than you were a second earlier.
3. Making Brief Eye Contact with Someone of the Opposite Sex – You pass her on the street or in the subway. She glances up at you momentarily, making direct eye contact in a way that seems to communicate a subtle curiosity. For a split second it makes you think… and then it’s gone.
4. Skinny Dipping – There is something mysteriously liberating about being naked in a body of water. You are naked, but it feels natural, a sense of unrefined freedom.
5. Receiving a Real Letter or Package via Snail Mail – E-mail has become the primary source of written communication. Most snail mail these days is junk mail. When you check the mail and find a real letter or package from someone you know, excitement overtakes you as you tear into this rare gift.
6. Making the Yellow Light - It’s one of the most common simple pleasures, the act of beating the pack. As you blaze through the yellow light you glance in your rearview to see all the cars behind you stopping at the red light. Yes! You made it!
7. Telling a Funny or Interesting, True Story - One of the most enticing roles you lead in life is that of the storyteller. You love to share stories, especially those that will captivate your audience with deep curiosity and humor. There are few things more satisfying than telling a true story that others enjoy listening to.
8. Seeing a Friend Stumble Over Himself – As you walk across the street with your friend, he fails to accurately address the curb on the other side. He trips and stumbles around momentarily before regaining his footing, then swiftly attempts to play it off like nothing happened. This can be a hilarious sight if the moment is right.
9. Hearing the Right Song at the Right Moment - It doesn’t matter what the setting is, hearing the right song for that moment is one of those simple pleasures in life that instantly lifts your spirits. You could be driving home from work, hanging out at a bar with friends, or jogging. When the right song rattles your ear drums the entire meaning of life seems crystal clear.
10. The First Sip of a Beverage When You’re Thirsty – You just finished mowing the lawn or taking a long jog. The only thing on your mind is an ice-cold glass of water. When you are really, really thirsty, that first sip of any liquid beverage is sheer bliss.
11. Catching a Glimpse of Bare Skin on the Opposite Sex – For guys, it’s when the waitress bends over a little too far. For girls it’s seeing that buff guy in a Speedo. Either way, when you see a bit more skin than you were expecting on the opposite sex, you can’t help but to smirk on the inside.
12. Saying the Same Thing Simultaneously – There is a moment of silence. Then all of the sudden you and your friend blurt out the same exact set of words simultaneously. This rare occurrence is something to smile about.
13. The Pull-Through Parking Spot – You pull into a parking spot and are delighted to see the availability of the parking spot immediately in front of you. You pull through to the spot in front so that when you return to the car you can drive forward out of the parking spot. Why? Because driving backwards is a pain in the butt.
14. Realizing You Have More Time to Sleep – Something abruptly awakens you and you think it’s time to get up. Then you squint over at your alarm clock and realize you still have 2 more hours to sleep. A warm euphoric feeling shoots though your body as you glide gracefully back to your dreams.
15. People Watching – Sitting there on your bench you can see people in every direction. Tall people, small people, thin and plump. Blond, brunette, and redhead alike. Each of them has a different stride and a unique expression. As you drift from body to body you are mesmerized by what you see.
16. Putting On Clothes Straight from the Dryer – As soon as the dryer buzzes, you pull out your clothes and put them on. They feel soothingly warm on your skin and emit a fresh-scented aroma into the air. A sentiment of ease comes over you as you head out to conquer the day.
17. A Familiar Smell – You just pulled into your parent’s driveway and opened the car door. You haven’t been home in a long while. You smell familiarity in the air, the scent of a large pine tree in the neighbor’s yard. As you head through the front door, more familiar smells consume your senses. Gosh, it feels good to be home…
18. The Feeling You Get When Your Idea Works – You have been struggling to resolve a complex problem all day and you just can’t seem to get it right. Filled with frustration, you decide to exercise one last idea before calling it a night. You’ve had many ideas before that failed miserably… but this time it works.
19. Fresh, Clean Bed Sheets – You yank at the corner of the bedspread to create just enough space to slide your body under the freshly cleaned sheets. The sheets feel cool to the touch. Everything seems so clean, like nobody has ever slept in this bed before.
20. A Beautiful View – As the car veers around the side of the mountain you gaze out the passenger window. It’s a clear, sunny day and you can see the entire valley below filled with wild flowers and bright green vegetation. The scenery reminds you of something you once saw in National Geographic. But here it is live, right before your eyes.
21. Reminiscing About Old Times with Your Closest Friends – Pink Floyd once said “the memories of a man in his old age are the deeds of a man in his prime”. There is no simple pleasure more satisfying than recounting the greatest moments of your life with your closest friends who lived these moments alongside you.
22. Receiving an Unexpected Compliment – It’s been an average day. Nothing really great has happened, but nothing terrible occurred either. This monotonous day has put you in a dreary mood. Unexpectedly, an older, attractive lady taps you on the shoulder, calls you “handsome” and says she loves your shirt. The day just got a whole lot better.
23. Having a Good Laugh – Laughter is the greatest cure of all. Life is extraordinary in the moments when you are laughing so hard you can barely breathe. These moments of deep laughter are divine in the sense that they cleanse your mood and set your mind on a positive track.
24. The Feeling After a Healthy Workout - It’s a giddy feeling of self accomplishment; the one true activity that actually makes you feel better and look better simultaneously. When you walk out the front door of the gym you are on top of the world.
25. The Celebration in the Instant Something Makes Sense – Even now that it has explained to you for the third time, you just don’t understand how it works. Everyone else seems to understand but you. Then out of the blue the dots connect in your mind. You finally get it, and it feels great!
26. Relaxing Outdoors on a Sunny Day – As you relax sprawled out in a lawn chair, the sun warms your skin and a light breeze keeps the temperature comfortable. Birds are chirping merrily in the trees behind you. You are at complete peace with the environment.
27. Holding Hands with Someone You Love – Every time she grabs your hand you are overcome with an awareness of how much she means to you. Holding hands is sensual and physically intimate, yet subtle. There are few people you allow to hold your hand, so when it happens you can be sure that the moment is special.
28. Playing in the Water – Water marvels people of all ages. From jumping in puddles as a child, to doing cannon balls in the pool as an adolescent, to enjoying a cocktail in the Jacuzzi as an adult… water is enjoyable.
29. Making Someone Smile – You notice that your colleague has been under a great deal of stress with meeting a deadline, so you take it upon yourself to complete one of her indirect responsibilities for her. As soon as she realizes what you did, she comes into your office with a big smile on her face. “Thank you”, she says. You just hit two birds with one stone, because making her smile just made your day.
30. Finishing What You Started – You just finished up a big project you’ve been working on for the last few months, or maybe you just finished your first marathon… Either way, you finalized what you set out to accomplish. The feeling of self accomplishment you get when you finish what you started is by far one of the most rewarding simple pleasures life has to offer.

a thought or two..

this past week school's started for me i've never felt so overwhelmed with school this early on in the year. It freaks me out knowing that me, not fittin that stereotype of a "typical chinese" smart student is taking two chemistry classes.. not to mention i hate every subject but spelling, its too bad spelling is not a major/subject when you get older. =\ I've also never seen budget cuts this bad before.. Sometimes i worry...but to worry means you have no faith & trust in God. so for those of you stressed out with school..worried about money, your boyfriends, friends, school, etc....just remember to....

Cast all your anxieties on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7

my thoughts on living in sj..is kinda crazy...call me crazy but ive been a paranoid freak living in sj. especially living in the nicest house on the block full of half houses in the projects.

14 reasons on why you know you live in the projects:
1. people sitting on their steps/porch because its hella hot..
2. being dirty greeted by some nasty freaks that youre obligated to respond back to..
3. cholos on the look out to steal your bike.
4. low life teen skaters stoppin in fronta the house tellin us our house is bank and they're gon bash it.
5. you see little kids in beaters or no shirts running and yelling for the walking ice cream/mango/sweet mexican candy cart
6. half the houses on your block need massive paint jobs because they were built 100 yrs ago, victorian style.
7. half the houses in the area are half houses..if you dont know what that is go look it up on wikipedia.
8. when you see a green car shaped like an ice cream truck go around to mexicans asking them for their green card..if not..they throw you in and take you to immigration..aka DEPORTATION..
9. a crazy black man on crack walkin around the hood talkin to himself dressed like hes in a mariachi band.
10. you wonder why walmart is sooo damn crowded full of mexi's during business hours..you would think they would have jobs...
11. when everyone is on bikes..and im not talkin bout the ride a bike to save gas or ride a bike to go to school bikers...im talkin bout the ghetto, cant get my license because im goin to get deported bikers...
12. when you have to lock your bike wheels even when its in your house.
13. when your closest grocery stores nearby are mi pueblo and su haviana or whatever (dont get me wrong its cheap and good.)
14. when you have 5 7-eleven's within a one mile radius surrounding you.


i'm a hater..o well that's why i got my steel bat next to me when i sleep. haha..

reminder:

to my earthlings:
i will be changing my blog name to www.alergicreactions.blogspot.com on September 8 because i've just gotten tired with 10xdeeper which originally going to be based off of how i looked at life to be "10x" deeper aka thinking in depth of the things in life (not based on the clothing brand). But as i began to blog, it just wasnt "10xdeeper" and came off more as "2x deeper"..or not. So, i will be changing it back to my original name "alergicreactions" thanks to my imagination in 6th grade.

So,.....for you kind bloggers and dedicated readers, don't forget to change my blog name on your "favorites" or refer to my alergicreactions site with ONE L, not two L's...if you wanna keep up with my precarious life. =)
“ To get up in the morning knowing you will have to face another obstacle takes strength. To smile when the only thing you can do is cry takes bravery. To act happy and laugh when you know that times are at their worst takes courage. To be joyous when the only good news is the best of the bad news takes support. To be there and help others through the roughest times in life takes love." - kimberlyjane

thinking twice.

"I enjoy catching up with someone I haven't talked to in a while. It helps me remember why I'm thankful to have them in my life or why I'm thankful that they left in the first place."

-sarcasticb***h.

shes one step ahead of me and takes the words right outta my mouth.

thanks for visiting me this week in sj.. YAF, max&allan plus mitch, & d. =)
