News Happenings

It's been a while since I've presented any current events. I've become a huge fan of flipboard, it's a great way to get informed about a lot of different things at once. Last night I came across this, Brown approves driver's licenses for young undocumented immigrants. You have no idea how much happiness this brought to me at 12:09am.

This is such a great advantage to have, you no longer have your hands tied about getting around. You can work! You have an identity supported by the government! I realize these things sound silly to most of you, but these are the things you stress out about as an undocumented immigrant.

I just can't say enough how much it means to see this happening, and on top of the deferment for DREAMers right now. It's beautiful. Right now is the time for happiness for this particular population. It's too bad this is just happening now, I certainly wish it would've happened earlier, but I don't know that I could've held out this long. I'll say it again, I would change none of what has happened. Everything happens for a reason.

MUCH LOVE!!!

Painting Pictures

Today is Sunday June 3rd, I'm house-sitting this week and as always I wake up crazy early when I'm not in my own bed. This will be great for when I'm off in Irvine, I'll have no problem being up early to get to the gym before classes. Woohoo!

I started my morning with breakfast, and stumbled upon "Vanguard: This (Illegal) American Life", hosted by Mariana Van Zeller. What a great illustration of the two sides of this story. Allow me to share the trailer with you, just click on trailer. I tried to find the full episode but had no luck, maybe one of you will have better luck finding it, if you do please share it. I highly recommend you get your hands on it if you can. If I haven't been successful at painting a picture for you of what it is like to live undocumented you must watch this. Mariana I want to thank you for reporting on such a controversial and important part of this society.

This episode brought back all I ever felt and lived through and I could no be happier to be on the other end of this. To all those who are still waiting for their lives to be in their hands, be strong, life will get to you. I promise you that all your tears will not go unnoticed. Be strong and brave, you've made it this far.

MUCH LOVE!!!

PS: Today is exactly one month til my birthday!

food for thought

I'm not trying to call Jan Brewer a Nazi, I just want to make you think. History exists for a reason and it's not to ignore it. It exists for us to look back and reflect on the things humanity has gone wrong with and try to avoid them, or change the way we do things to prevent the terrible things that have happened from repeating.
