Retired

Ah, well... here we go! <3 My fiancee [still getting used to the term, heheh] and I in our engagement party! <3 And finally, me and my cockatiel, Yoshi :3

I have quite a few... Being in bed while listening to the sound of the rain as the distant thunders echo across the heavens is one of my most favorite quiet pleasures. I feel relaxed, at ease, and ready to face whatever things the day might bring. Being alone in bed, in the morning, while listening to the birds chirp and the cold breeze caress my skin softly as I breathe in the cold morning air. Listening to rain music while I shower. I imagine I am under a waterfall. Helps me relax. Listening to meditation music, relaxation music... I always love the feeling of weightlessness it brings me. Imagining that my roof is clear as I sleep, and that I could be able to see galaxies and stars in my ceiling. Walking alone, observing the sky, feeling so small, so humbled that I am walking on this earth. Letting my loved ones know how much they mean to me; be it by an "I love you," or by a soft hug and a kiss on their forehead, I always let them know how much they mean to me. Playing guitar on my room at night... how much I miss doing it. Due to my Neuropathy I can't handle a guitar for more than 15 minutes. And finally, being able to jump in bed as soon as I arrive home from an arduous day at work. <3 [Yes... I love sleeping, if you haven't already noticed.]

To those that do not know me, I will come off as distant, quiet, and not that talkative. Many others even cataloged me as anti-social. But, once they got to know me, they found me honest, calm, altruistic, and kind of like an old soul in a young body. Many others tell me I am far wiser than I am supposed to be at my age. My closest friends know that once I consider them close, they're in for a honest, deep, and valuable friendship for life. But even they know how distant I am. I prefer to be surrounded by my loved ones... At least, that's what they say. x3

Hmm.. People making chewing sounds. People constantly and annoyingly messaging/contacting me without giving me space to breathe. People typing up simple replies to long texts or messages. People that change their personality drastically according to the person they're talking to. I can understand changing a little bit, but I've seen people change so drastically I do not recognize them. Hot weather. Sweating. Loud people. Extremely high-energy people. People coughing/sneezing on me. People talking on the movie theater/while I am watching something. Obnoxious kids. Nosy, want-to-know-everything-about-you people. People that do not respect personal boundaries. That's pretty much it, I think..

Ah, it's quite alright. I have forgiven her and many others that have tried to put me down because of my faith. About his death--I did not like it that he died. If I made the movie, the first thing I would've done is make him go on the path to redemption and feel happy, relieved and free, and joining his students for the concert. I would have been much happier with that ending. So yeah, I'm with you on that one. :] And about the little debate going on about how Christians and atheists act or are portrayed, I think that this is pretty even ground. Christians are often portrayed as homophobic, crazy and Bible-hugging people that do not tolerate any opposing view point. This is, to an extent, true, because there are many people who act like this, but this is the opposite of what Jesus taught. [A side note about homophobic Christians: I am not one of those. However, it does not mean I am okay with it. But I could care less if you wanna be whatever sexual orientation you are or wanna. I may not be okay with it, and I may have my point of view about it that opposes many, but that does not mean I will not respect you. You will never see me hating on anyone. I simply share the love of God and what He has done with my life. It is up to you to embrace it, because in the end, it is all voluntary and not mandatory. Whatever God needs to work on you, He will do, and I cannot change anyone, only He can. ] Also, Atheists are portrayed negatively as well, but I have been friends with the most amazing people who are atheists and they have respected me in all senses of the word. They are amazing. And I respect their views, I may share them with them from time to time, but they respect me, and I respect them. We have to remember that stereotypes are the things that separate us. Remember that inside those stereotypes [that we desperately need to destroy], there exists people that break those stereotypes. There are true Christians, awesome atheists, kind, caring and loving Muslims... the day when we embrace respect in our society, then we may be on a road to a better place. But one can dream, right?

Well, I have to give my two cents about this movie! :] I am a Christian, and this movie quickly became one of my personal favorites. I loved how they portrayed Christianity and I was satisfied with it. I was born and raised a Christian, and like I said I currently am, so this movie hit home quickly. However, many people say that the way atheists are portrayed in this movie is far from reality, and I want to say my opinion based on personal experiences and from other people's experiences as well. I recognize there are Christians and Christians that only give themselves that name and do not act like the Bible instructs us to do and do not follow Jesus's teachings. There are Christians who do, and like myself, prefer to preach through their life testimony. As well, there are very nice and awesome atheists [like my uncle] who respect Christians completely and simply could not care less about Christians and their lifestyles, but do not want to embrace it themselves. [High five to those who act like this!] However, there are nasty atheists that like to lurk around the Internet, waiting for someone to shout "GOD!" to simply come down to them and drown them with atheist logic. Christians do this as well with atheists, shoving God down their throats. So it's pretty even in both sides. However, there are atheists in universities, schools and the like, and I once had an atheist teacher that gave me an F in an exam, two D's and gave me a C in class because I was a Christian. The minute she saw me with a Christian shirt [ihadnoideashewasanatheist-w-] she began to say awful things about God and to treat me harshly. When I contacted her, she had left to Germany, so I left everything as it was. I forgave her, however. The thing is, the film may have exaggerated by generalizing that "all" atheists are like this, but I think that the film only focused on a certain type of atheism that we cannot deny that it exists. Just surf for a while on the internet, especially on Youtube, and you'll see many atheists like this, that attack us Christians without mercy. The same way around, though, and I'm making it clear just in case. All in all, I think the movie is much more oriented towards the Christian community. I hate it when people call this movie "propaganda." It isn't, in my point of view. [To each their own.] It is a film that wants to preach about God, which is what Christians are expected to do by Jesus's teachings and what we true Christians do out of love for God's word and what He has done for us. We're just so thankful and happy that we have to talk about it. The movie is just an amplified version of that feeling, and it spoke to many, and many hated it. The fact that many people hated the movie could have been easily solved by not watching it in the first place. [When I'm not okay with a movie topic, I simply do not watch it. Just because it's on theaters does not mean I will go and watch it.] If you knew that it was about God and Christians vs. atheists [which I strongly dislike how it sounds like, but it's true] then you can imagine what the movie is going to be like. And also, why does the movie God is Not Dead get such a bad rep, but movies that explicitly show sex, rape scenes [i'm looking at you, The November Man], drugs, violence, assassination, murder, kidnapping, torture and other things get the highest ratings? Ah, I dunno, maybe humans are naturally evil-inclined. They repulse against everything good or harmless, but feed off negativity. Many people will say, "But religion is bad!!!!! PEOPLE KILL BECAUSE OF RELIGION!!!!!!!" Yeah, it is! Even Jesus came to earth and fought against it. But, dunno. That's just me.

Oh, I absolutely adore horses! They have been my favorite animal since I can remember. I love their majesty; they are truly fabulous animals, which I respect and love. I've had huge collections horse toys, ranging from Breyer models to Barbie horses since I was a little kid. I gave up those toys to charity in Christmas, though. ♥ Having this huge love for horses was the one thing that drew me in to G3 MLP toys, and now, G4. Next to horses, my favorite animal is the wolf. :]

I do not take requests and I rarely do trades, due to my tight schedule and medical conditions which limit me to a few drawings once in a while. The thing is, I don't even take requests for small sketches, because my perfectionist mind gets the best of me, and I end up doing a flat-colored drawing lol... I can give it a shot, though! However, I take commissions. Thanks for asking!

Its just that I'm tired to see that where ever I look in the Internet, there is a religious debate. And it is mentally draining for me, really. Sometimes only looking at the title can irk me, and even if it is an innocent, tame, necessary debate, I get uncomfortable and find it hard to ignore. I dunno why. This is why I felt entitled to post this, but only because I feel like topics like these should be held in private conversations or something. Dunno. I'm sorry if this offended anyone, as I said, this is just a small suggestion. Hmm, putting it this way it makes much sense. Like I said it was just a small suggestion, no harm intended at all. It is up to the admins to consider it or ignore it. I don't mind, I am open minded about it. ^.^ Thank you all for being nice about it.

I know not all of them are bad, but as I said, I come from sites that prohibit its discussion entirely just like other places prohibit so. Sometimes opinions are best kept privately, and I speak with my own experience. However, this is just a suggestion for a better forum enviornment, so you can either take it or leave it. I dob't mind. Just wanted to let the staff know that it is something that can be considered as well.

As its discussion is offensive to everyone that do believe in it. If a topic is offensive to a group and you can avoid the topic (just like in work and other environments), then why bring it up in the first place?
