Renaming my Blog

When I originally started up my blog (Ramblings by Noemi) I couldn’t really commit to write all the time because I didn’t have a set theme or idea about where I was headed overall. I am a rambler, I have come to terms with that, but I decided a couple days ago to take note of an idea I had last year and JUST DO IT!

A couple months ago while watching an episode of The Mindy Project with two of my older sisters, Mindy talked about how her parents would send her daily emails titled “Mindy’s Compliment Corner” as a reminder of how she is a great person. It just happened to be that that same week one of my sisters was having a horrible day at work so I drafted an e-mail as a reminder to her that she is an amazing person. After months of producing these e-mail chains for my sisters, I started seeing how it was a happy little pop in their inbox to get them through a sucky experience, which was the theme of our family’s year (Later post to explain).

Because of this, I have decided to start up “The Corner” as a place where good things that I see or hear about will hopefully serve to brighten other people’s days. I am going to start posting every Tuesday of at least one amazing, great thing that happened in honor of #MindyTuesday.

Happy Mindy Tuesday and I hope you stick around to see how this goes.

“Tonight You’re Perfect”: Why I love New Politics

Should I believe in the world, momma?
Should I give up and hide or should I stay and fight?
Should I believe in the rules, momma?
Tell me if I should run or learn to shoot a gun

I don’t know what to believe, momma
Yeah, I’m down on my knees,
I’m begging please
Help me back on my feet, momma
‘Cause I need someone to believe, believe, believe in

Tonight you’re perfect
I wanna fall in love with the stars in your eyes
Tonight you’re perfect
I wanna fall in love but only for the night
(Tonight you’re perfect)
(Tonight you’re perfect)
Only for the night
(Tonight you’re perfect)
(Tonight you’re perfect)
I feel perfect too!

You won’t believe what I’ve seen, momma
There’s a fire inside, there’s a storm on the rise
It’s in the air that we breathe, momma
Can I speak out my mind in these changing times?

Give me a reason to be, momma
‘Cause I’m down on my knees,
I’m begging please
Help me back on my feet, momma
‘Cause I need someone to believe, believe, believe in

Tonight you’re perfect
I wanna fall in love with the stars in your eyes
Tonight you’re perfect
I wanna fall in love but only for the night
(Tonight you’re perfect)
(Tonight you’re perfect)
Only for the night
(Tonight you’re perfect)
(Tonight you’re perfect)
I feel perfect too!

Only for the night
Only for the night
Only for the night

Tonight you’re perfect,
I wanna fall in love with the stars in your eyes
Tonight you’re perfect
I wanna fall in love but only for the night

My FIRST Vlog

So tomorrow or I guess later today, I am going to a friend’s Ugly Christmas Sweater Party and since I was super excited to make them and to have a charged Bloggie! I decided to Vlog away. Anyways, It was so much fun although I am super tired! I am uploading it to my YouTube Channel: SuperAwesomeChan but I did want to share some pictures that I was taking when I wasn’t recording and what and also my AWESOME earrings

Ornament Earrings!

that I’m gonna wear tomorrow which I also made earlier today! Anyways, it was tons of fun and I am most likely gonna start vlogging more so that I can have a little bit of difference from my rants here. So I just looked on Pinterest for ideas on what to do with our sweaters, this is what I wanted to do with Ana’s:

And this is her finished result:

And this is what I originally planned to do with mine:

And this is my front and back finished result:

Anyway, I am extremely grateful to my little sister PILAR who helped me make mine and gave me ideas on how to adjust Ana’s. It was a ton of fun and hopefully everyone gets to do this this year! Here is a picture of my dog Presley being adorable:

My PulseIt Blog

My PulseIt Blog

I started posting on this private blog site called Pulse It in 2010 (January 10th to be exact) and I haven’t really kept up other than the random posts here and there. It’s also in ramble form and it gives a little background to my crazy.

Why I don’t use tumblr

Once upon a time, actually this was two years ago almost to the day, I rambled on tumblr about my then best friend and the things that she did that made me crazy. I had been doing rants on my personal blog (I’ll add the link sometime) that was extremely hidden from anyone that I actually knew and for some reason I did my rant on tumblr that day instead. Obviously, Negative Luck Noemi here forgot that her then best friend followed her tumblr. And well you can imagine the kind of tweet I was mentioned in. I believe it went something like “If you didn’t want to hear about my problems then you should just tune me out” she then proceeded to quote me via twitter. (Sidetrack: For a second, think about how flattering that is. Getting quoted on twitter?!) And well shit hit the fan, like the cool kids say.

We ended up fighting about a lot of things that night, it started with what I had said and then led to the fact that she didn’t really pay attention to anyone anymore and then how I don’t try hard enough to explore her interests. It was basically like we were breaking up, which after being friends for thirteen years was a little tough to do in the beginning of my senior year. Our mutual friends tried to get us to become ‘besties’ again but she didn’t really want to talk to me anymore (yes, I completely understand why someone would not want to be friends with someone who had slammed them on tumblr) so I apologized for my part and told her that I’d be there when she was ready to talk about it. By the end of the year, our mutual friends were trying their hardest not to make it awkward because of Prom, Graduation and Grad Night but summer came and went and she went off to UCSB and I stayed home to go to Chapman.

Do I regret going all bitch blogger on tumblr? Yes and No. Yes, because I feel that I should have approached the subject in a better way. If I had, I might not have lost a friend with too much truth online. And no because I am a pansy. Plain and simple. I would never ever have approached her about all the issues we had as friends and I would have been miserable for a good chunk of my time because I was “best friends” with someone that was completely and totally different from me: where she wanted to get high and drunk every weekend, I had family priorities that were way more important to me.

Over a year later, she lost her childhood friend to a gang related shooting and I could not stop myself from reaching out to her one more time. I knew that she had never really forgiven me but I knew the pain she was in. Because she was one of my oldest friends I needed to let her know that she could turn to me if she needed anything. That conversation was a turning point in our “relationship”. We aren’t best friends anymore, not even close, but she is someone that has known me the longest outside of family and that will always mean something.

And that’s why I don’t use tumblr anymore. With one real post I hurt someone so I deactivated my account and haven’t been on it since.
