Blog Post Budget Project #2: Possible Honeymoon Destinations

There are potential dream vacations I will never forget to do in the future after marriage, so the following places are:

1. Thailand: It's a tropical spot to stay around and sleep in with somebody I love IRL. And riding on elephants? That might be something new to do.
2. Norway: I won't forget the taste of cheese, blueberries, wafers, tomato soup and potatoes on a cruise ship.
3. Peru: I did the fruit and veggie project on it for botany class, so I am considering enjoying the delicious dragon fruit when I'm actually there.

That's it. You know... going on a honeymoon out of country is so expensive. In case I'm on a tight budget still at the time of the elopement, I guess everyone's going to Hawaii after the wedding. That's my thought. It's not something extremist or anything too dumb in particular. I need to just think about the future and nothing else. But wait... there's more... I want to spend a week in Canada first. Then after that, I'll spend a week in Iceland. Nah... that's too crazy... but it's perfecto. Note that this budget post is only ideal and not realistic.

Back to Basics in The Story

What is a story? A story is made up of so many mini-arcs in one novel, or just one in a children's picture book. Every story opens a door to the freedom of speech where everyone in our nation is searching for. It was filled with exciting, powerful and intense storylines of love, war, life, death, opinions and everything else in between from the past and present. There's poetry, memoirs, cultures that are different from our traditional values, stories about coming-of-age, putting the milk in the morning cake, seeing the unusual creatures on the isle for a while, stories in which the movies are based on and more. It's all woven into one huge planet where it's culturally rich that turns into a mushy stew by 2100 or so. As you read the story that's only challenged once or even more in any different time and place from where it's initiated, you will encounter something you've never heard like this before which leads you to open-mindedness whether you love it or hate it. This one epic journey to freedom makes the insistent claim that you do support the First Amendment rights and I highly encourage you to order the complete Banned Books Resource Guide that was mostly up-to-date from Amazon. I had the 2014 edition for Christmas, and I definitely can't wait to get my hands on, but dang... it rather takes a lot of hard work than that though.

In every story, there are a variety of chapters and a variety of pages in which it might fit in a cover no matter how thick or thin. They all comprise how the world was involved around them from questions you always wanted to know about everything beyond high school, but were afraid to ask your parents, aunts, uncles or grandparents who were very overprotective and want you to preserve traditional values for the rest of your life to answers and secrets to be revealed to plot twists that may even shock you by surprise. Our goal was to change the lives of others from poverty, domestic violence, sexual trafficking, drug abuse, and more (that includes harassment), so that they are more ready for the big wide world after graduation from high school. But the freedom of speech you'd read, you're reading or you maybe will read isn't any Disney story we've all seen as little kids. You are reading a banned book that has the power to experience not just the way you read, but you are exposing yourself to something you've never ever tried like this before. So sit back, relax and enjoy the best, truest, most open-minded greatest journey to freedom you'll ever had. Happy reading!

Thanks.

Toni Morrison's Farewell

Last week, she died at age 88. On the left, you can see the memorial tribute. On the right, it is the book I read from two years ago.

Morrison will be missed... may she RIP.

Advent 2018 Day 2: What Is Starbucks And Philosophy?

A/N: I NEVER got a chance to do the 1-on-1 special coffee talk, but I have done it several times in a year. Attempts did made me stay busier and I was just wondering what to do next after college. I hope it is relationships since I have a self-employed business to run for five years straight and counting. I hope it would work out okay.

Advent 2018 Day 1: Whitsun, A Poem

Originally written on: 6/2/2017

"Not the Whitsun day!"

cried a raven.

"The spiritual fire is

impossible to see clearly!"

"Nonsense. It's just the wind." the preacher corrected.

"You can hear it, but you

don't know where it's coming from."

Incoming...

Next week, be prepared for the 24-day advent calendar full of selected entries I would like to throwback on from four years earlier or less. Stay tuned!

#findthecomputerroom

Uh, hello folks. Are you in yet?! This is me, Natalie Marrujo. Can you hear me? This blog is rebooting... just give me a second, please. *looks for physical journals on a crazy pile*
One hour later...
Hey, I found them. Now, this is a message from solely me and me alone to you: If you're listening to this, then the worst has happened... you need to know the truth. The signs of a new world order are not just coming, they already have for the past half-century. Welcome to the deep state, folks.
In my imaginary timeline, the deep state bureaucracy planned to shut down the research facility of a British college in the year 2012. They had successfully ceased all of the research and imprisoned all who know about you. Less than 9.5 years ago, the Black Comet returned. They plan to harness its powers to destroy this planet! The only way to stop them was to develop a way to use the very power they intended to use against them. It's up to YOU and only YOU can stop them! No, not you readers. You get yourself ready for the eye-opening account of my written life as in a redo over the OG 2013-14 school year when it was first established except... more detailed. Therefore, this is indeed very self-explanatory. A 24-day advent calendar of selected entries ranging from 2014 to now will be uploaded in the month of December, following by a new prologue on December 31. Remember: a new prologue was already written in another person's words, so I don't own anything that has to be written by someone else. All goes to its respectful owners. Two short stories coming soon...
