Welcome
Hey everyone, Welcome to my Blog ^_^. Living the life as a "young adult" learning, experiencing, feeling, loving and basically just living life! This blog here contains my everday life where i talk about it freely. Somewhat of a diary and a way to reflect on my life as a individual. So far i had this blog up for 3 years and still going. Well even though my life may not seem that interesting.. it is my story and i love living it.. im grateful for who i am and what i have even though it could be alot better but im not materialistic. The virtue that i enjoy the most would be love, i have a very strong heart.. but not only is it strong but weak, every strength has a weakness. Well through out my entries and pages you should learn a bit about who i am. And well this is my story...
The Crocodile Hunter: Steve Irwin Died at 44!
September 4, 2006

Shocked/Sad]
[Currently Listening to: Nothing]
Hewwo Everyone, Today was a very shocking day for me in terms of news.. Well first off, today my grandmother came from Puerto Rico to live here in New York.. so today i finally saw her since a long time! so she will be spending some time here with the family until she can get herself a home. Well soon after the welcomming.. My hunny Matthew went on the computer and IMed me and said that Steve Irwin had died.. im like wait! your serious!?!? O_O i didn't expect for him to die, i was just so shocked.. i didn't believe it. But like everyone thought he would've died from a Croc or a snake? well nope.. he died from a sting Ray! Steve went out to film a documentary on the Sting Rays on the Great Barrier Reef, and around 11 AM in Australia he swam above a stingray and for some reason the barb on its tail pierced his chest and put a whole in his heart O_O!! Sadly he wasn't able to be saved and passed away before the medical staff could make it. I just feel horrible the fact that he had to die because of an accident because it is normally rare for stingrays to do that but Steve did die doing what he loved.. but i can't hope to feel sad for what his family may be going through. Steve had a loving Wife, Terri and 2 children, Bindi {8 years old} Bob {Just Turned 3} and i can't help to feel sad for what they must be going through. Steve and Terri were Married in 1992 and had just started a family and now to think that Terri has to raise to children without her husband besides her. I can imagine what she must be thinking and how she will handle things now that steve has passed away.
Well even though Steve has passed away.. hopefully some day his son Bob Irwin {Named after his father} will follow in his father's footsteps and become the next "Crocodile Hunter" but only time could tell right? Well I always watched his TV show and became a fan of the Irwin Family, I've learned alot from watching the daily shows on Animal Planet even watched their movie "The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course" and later on started watching "Croc Hunter Diaries" and to think he would of died at the age of 44.. still young and just starting a family. Its a very sad day for so many people who were touched by his messages of animals and trying to save so many.. to show people that Crocodiles..Snakes..Reptiles weren't so evil as people wanted them to be. They are just regular animals and deserve to live and he loved them.. i was watching the Steve Irwin Tribute on animal planet later on today and loved this quote he said.. "Humans save the things they love"- Steve Irwin. I believe that is so true.. he was a man who did what he loved and wanted to share it with the world. Now everyone thought he was crazy for doing the stunts he did with so many animals but thats just because most people wouldn't do that.. but it was a passion that he loved! He was Steve.. always was happy, always crazy and his famous line... "Crikey!!" haha. Steve was a good man with a big heart! I will keep him and his family in my prayers because if this is a shock for me and i didn't even personally know him, i can imagine for the people who did. May Steve rest in peace and continue his job in another place!

Well besides that very shocking news.. i have more! haha. I start school tomorrow.. -__- oh no!!! haha to be honest it doesn't really feel like it.. but yup tomorrow i gotta go to school at 11 AM then i don't go Wednesday and then i start a full day on Thursday!! jeez how time flew O_O but ever day seems to go by so quick for me anyway.. each event went by so quicky.. one after the other! i remember when it was my anniversary and now im starting school. Time flys haha but yeah i can't wait for tomorrow because Matts going to pick me up around 9:30 to take me to breakfast and then take me to school and pick me up right after! ^_^ hehe so atleast im happy that i get to be with him the whole day. I wonder what my schedule will be! All i know i hope this year will go very well in terms of school and my relationship with Matt! Matthew is my life and my world..were already together now for 2 years and will be for many more but this will be my last year with him in terms of where he lives, so im going to continue enjoying every moment i have with him, our experiences are just amazing and i am so glad i have him in my life. I love him so much and we've been through so much and my love for him grows with every passing day and i love every minute of it ^_^.
Besides all of that.. i've been SO lazy most of my summer.. hehe it wasn't intentionally but it happened, its something summer does to some people haha. I'm glad summer came though.. it was a nice little break away from school to go to sleep late and wake up late.. but now back to the old routine -__-. Now i gotta get out my lazy mode and into my working mode. This will be a big year for me in terms of school because I am now a Junior! and my grades need to be sharp! because ever since I was a little girl.. I always loved animals and I wanted to help them.. So I'm hoping to become a Vet ^_^ but I'm still a bit confused but I'm still very set about wanting to do something that involves animals. Well thats why this year needs to be taken serious unlike my sophmore year I was a bit slackish in my work and could've done ALOT better but who doesn't make mistakes? Well i am positive about a new year for school and a new year with my love Matthew!
This blog entry was dedicated to Steve Irwin because he was someone who made a difference in Animals lives and Humans as well.. hopefully people will take his messages seriously and his family will continue with their lives and stay strong because Steve will live on in their hearts! I believe I can look up to Steve because of his passion for his job and love of animals.. nothing stopped him from doing what he did best and he learned from every mistake he made. Hopefully i can do the same and help animals after all I grew up with a passion for animals like he did.. wanting to explore and see and help so many animals.. Crikey!
