Midnight Cake

Last night I was trying to study for an exam I have today when Josh came down. Josh for a skinny guy has quite an appetite. He eats everything in the house. And I always tell him, " There is other people that live here to you know, stop eating everything!" But he never listens. SO last night, Josh got this partially eaten cake I made and starts eating it. Typical Josh. First I told him how I was having boy problems and  really like telling Josh this because he has such a different perspective. Not because he is also a guy but I'm not sure, he always has something wise to say. Then he starts talking about how he is so unmotivated to go to school. And he feels bad because he's not as motivated as me. I try telling him that i just try to get through it but his goals and my goals are completely different. He wants to be an artist and I want to be a psychologist. Really after I finish school i really want to travel, that's my goal right now, finish school and then travel. Josh that's a really good. He wants to get into CalArts and maybe start his own cartoon. I thought that was really cool. If he does do that I'm going to ask him if I can be a voice actor for him (I really think that is the coolest job anyone could have!).  We stayed until one talking and I didn't get much studying done -_- Today he went with my other brother to an art museum. I wanted to go but couldn't. (luckies!) Now I'm just tired haha
More to come, stay in tune ;)

Last Wednesday, I was learning about Schizophrenia in my abnormal psychology class. Then I started thinking about all the times I complain about headaches (what a sissy), people who live with schizophrenia have a very difficult time just getting through the day! When I use to hear the word Schizophrenia, I didn't have a clue really what it was, but it seemed really bad. I mean just the sound of it sounds bad! I'm taking about it today because it's not known how one gets schizophrenia but psychologist have come to find out that it is genetic, it's passed down from generation to generation. My psych professor told the class about the Genain Quadruplets. These quadruplets were born in the 1930s and they were identical girls. In this point in time, they became famous because quadruplets were rarely seen. Now when these girls grew up they all had developed schizophrenia. There are four different types of schizophrenia and each person is different on how deeply it affects them. There is paranoid schizophrenia putting it in general terms one believes they are always being followed, catatonic schizophrenia in severe cases, the person is like a statue, they do not respond or move to anything. Sometimes this can go on for months where the person is in that state. The third type is disorganized schizophrenia. This one is probably the worst to have because the person mentally is being deteriorate and they are the most not likely to recover from their illness. The fourth one is called indifferent. This one is when a person has symptoms of the previous three types all together (maybe this is the worst to have...). All the sisters had schizophrenia but they each had different types of the illness and in how severe it was for each. This finding showed psychologist that though schizophrenia is passed down by genetics, it is more complex than genetics because the sisters had different types and different levels of severity. When I was learning this in class(my class is about 3 hours long) it was blowing my mind! I had to share it with the world! ( the world kind of already knows >.<) lol that's it from me today. Stay in tune for more to come ;)
P.S: Our birthday is Monday! xD how time flies huh!

Tired of Ice CREAM!? How can this be?

I almost forgot my sister today! I forgot Jen was taking a test from 5 to 7 in one of her classes today so when my class ended (ends at 6:40) I happily walked to the bus stop. Once I arrived at the bus I was reading and waiting for the bus. (MAN! its was chilly!) I had the urge to check my phone (Who doesn't? -_-) when I seen that I missed 3 calls from Jen. I thought to myself, "Oh crap! I can't believe I almost left without her!" She told me in the morning her plans for the day and I told her I would wait for her (Man I stink huh). Usually when one of us happens to be near the time the other gets out we take the bus back home together (Bus buddy!) Any who, we did catch the bus together ;) And she was telling me how she is so sick of ice cream! Recently she had gotten  her wisdom teeth pulled out (All four at the same time! Bum! Bum! Bum!...dramatic music) so now she can only eat Luke- warm soup and ice cream. My mom bought her two gallons of ice cream. At first she was all ecstatic, saying, "I'm going to have ice cream for breakfast, that's so awesome!" I would say, "Why not soup? Doesn't that sound better than ice cream? (Jen hates soup! So no it didn't haha) Well now all she kept saying is how she misses eating hamburgers and fruit! ( What an odd combination...) And she can't wait to eat them! I thought it was the funniest thing. It reminded me of when I first got my braces, my mom bought McD's, man it was horrible! I could even chew the fries. I guess people really just need some solid food. I think I would get tired of eating ice cream too if I ate it for 5 days straight. Speaking of ice creams though... I went to Baskin Robin's 31 Flavors and I had the delectable experience of having this new ice cream called Love Potion #31 Sooooo yummy! It has a tangy chocolate covered raspberry flavor too it! I recommend to try it before they get new flavors! That's it from me for now, stay tune for more ;)
P.S: Part II of the Adventures of Speech Class will be coming soon!

Today it was my mission to finish a rough draft I have due Wednesday. I started on it yesterday so I was half way done by the time I started up again today. My family thinks I'm weird because when I'm writing I have a habit of talking to myself. I find that it helps when I talk to myself. It gets my creative juices flowing and also helps gets my ideas organized. When they are all stuck in my head ( and I'm really on a roll, ideas are coming left and right  ^-^) I tend lose some of those ideas. I dislike it very much when that happens because sometime they are really well thought out ideas then just to lose them in a instant, that is such a waste! Words perfectly constructed only to be lost and gone forever -_- Sometimes I wonder where those lost ideas go. So quick to come and yet... I did get a lot of my homework done this weekend, I'm very pleased. I had 5 pgs. of math (My professor is not evil, I'm just lame and didn't get the book on time) a rough draft of an essay and lots of reading. But I'm not quite finished yet (reading still has to be done). I was explaining to my sister that I really enjoy writing (I'm kind of on the fence whether I really want to study psychology or become a free lance writer...who says I can't do both!...actually that person is me...isn't it always?) I love that moment when the creativity is flowing, the message I'm trying to portray is getting through and everything written down is turning into a masterpiece. I get so excited. The only part I don't like is that I'm being graded on. I guess that's when I kind of hinder myself to freely write. Grading does help in improving my writing skills (looking on the Brightside). I think that's the thing with writing or art or any other type of arts, there is always room for improvements no matter what kind of skills one has. I write poems from time to time when I just have to write something down (they are not the best!). I want to be daring and say "I'm going to leave one down below" but I'm too nervous and I think they are cheesy! >.< I'm going to do it anyway because people should once and awhile leave their comfort zones and venture into the unknown ;) stay tune for more!
P.S: Have you notice the colors of the sunset lately?! SO MANY COLORS!

We tiptoe around feelings
making sure not to disturb them
When all we really want is
For them to burst into life
Burst into the colors of a sunset sky

Remember how I said it's a rare event to see one of my siblings at school? Today I had a meeting at 1:00pm. I arrived at school around 12:15 when I see my sister waiting at the bus stop (I already knew she was at school, but I thought she caught the bus earlier.) It was a surprise to see her. The first thing she tells me when I come closer her to her is, " Guess when I'm graduating?!" I asked her when and she said, "Spring 2014!" I thought it was funny because that's when I plan to graduate too. So now we are graduating together which is pretty cool. Now all we got to do is keep each other motivated. I'm not sure when my brother is graduating but I'll ask him sometime. Stay in tune everyone! ;)

Today I took the bus with Josh. Usually the three of us don't do that because we have different schedules and times we go to school. It's a rare occurrence if we see each other in school because we are all busy accomplishing our own things. But today I decided to go to school around the same time he did because I needed to finish somethings before my classes started. On the bus Josh was telling me how some of the most wealthiest people didn't finish or graduate from college. I think it's ironic how he is telling me this while we are on our way to "college." When we first started college, Josh had this nonchalant attitude towards going. I think because he was growing tired of it.  Our mom even threatened him if he didn't go school, he had to get a  job and if he didn't have job in a month she was kicking him out. My mom is an advocate for education so he chose school reluctantly. Today he still has that same attitude but is more willing to go. He told me that he found it unappealing that he has to take classes he really doesn't need in order to take classes he does. He is an art major so he feels it unnecessary to take Math, English (these classes come easy to him anyway >.<) and other type of classes to do what he wants to do. He has this idea where if we just did the classes we need for our major, we can begin our careers in what ever we want sooner. This seems logical to me. It makes sense. But I told him that I think the reason we are forced to take classes we feel we don't need is to be a well-rounded person. I honestly believe that taking those classes will come in handy in the future. It may not seem like it now but they will. Those classes I think also give us an opportunity to learn what we really want to do, open new doors so to speak, shows you a new side of you. He just gave me this face that said, "You're already brainwashed -__-" Going back to what he was saying about the wealthy people, I also told him, " Maybe those people that became wealthy are wealthy because they did exactly what you said. They took all the classes they wanted or felt it unnecessary to go to college and started doing their own thing." My brother just looked at me like "Eureka!" My brother is probably going to be one of those wealthy people. He is going to quit college and start doing his artwork on a daily bases, open his own studio, then his own art gallery, and become famous. That's just type of thing that would happen to him. I remember coming to school with him on a Saturday last spring because he had his art final that day and I wanted to study. It was an all day class. Four hours later he came back to me and told me that he had to have his artwork done already but he didn't know that and had really nothing to present. So while in his class he had someone take a picture of him on his phone and he started drawing the photo. An hour or two later he was finished. His professor said, " This has a kind of quirkiness to it." My brother got an A on it. While Josh is telling me this, in my head I was telling myself, "Only you, this would only happen to you!" He's that type of person where things just come easy to him while others (me) have to work extra harder to achieve the same results. Life is simply not fair I tell you! But in a way I'm glad he has it easy, being an artist is hard enough. They are so hard on themselves to begin with. I asked him if he would be interested in helping me with my blog because he does animation as a little hobby. I think making short animations here and there would be a nice treat ;) Stay tune for more!

Tonight I'm sitting in my kitchen with my brother Josh. I'm telling him about all the work I have to do this weekend meanwhile he's doing different poses. Why I have no clue and apparently neither does he. He's saying, "I'm not sure what I'm doing right now." Then he laughs to himself. He really loves to draw. Actually that is his major, art. Many moons ago, he was explaining to me why he wants to become an art teacher. He told me, "I really like looking at other peoples' work rather than doing my own. People tell me I give great feedback on somethings other artists need to work on." Which I think is true. He is very neutral about everything. Keeps a calm head all the time, I envy him sometimes. I always blow up when I'm angry or shut down. Great way to cope huh. Sometimes as an artist, Josh gets into these funky moods where he feels his work is not good enough. He sees artists' work who are 14 years old with this amazing talent. Then he thinks of himself as this 19 year old kid who's drawing skills cannot compare. I hate when he does that! I don't even want to talk to him. In my mind I think, " Hey at least you found what you love and you're doing it!" There is so many people on this planet without a clue on what makes them happy. They go through life trying to discover it and he found it. Then he somehow gets out of his funky mood, and he's Josh again. Usually he's the one always giving my other siblings and I a pep talk. Honestly out of all of us, I believe Josh is the smartest one. Right now he's drawing...again... telling me to do what makes me happy. I wanted to post some of his work, but he felt uncomfortable so he didn't let me >.< but he did tell me that soon he will let me! Stay in tune for more!

We are on our way to the Getty's Museum!
I always catch him taking a cat nap >.<


Bright and early Christmas morning!
He took dance classes one year haha
Just a random picture I took when we were together.
He always has the same smile ;)

Triplets huh

Hi, I'm Anissa, Anii for short because sometimes people have a hard time pronouncing my name. I like Italian food and long walks on the beach... just kidding >.< actually I don't like going to the beach that often. Hate being in a bathing suit (self conscious image) Most of the time the beach is crowded with people and my sandwiches taste like sand YUCK! I do like going to the beach when it's overcast with the sun playing hide and seek with the clouds. That's a perfect day! What do you think? My blog is going to be about my adventures as a triplet. And other triplets I've met. So far I've meet two other sets of triplets in my life time. Shocker huh! -_- Most of the time when someone learns I'm a triplet, it's a really shocker. I know it's not everyday people meet someone who is apart twins let alone a triplets. They say something along the lines of, "WHAT you're a TRIPLET! I didn't know that!" Then usually I say something (in a shy voice) like, "Yeah, I'm a triplet ." Or I just nod my head. Automatically they assume that we are all identical because that's the next question that frequently comes after. I imagine when people find out I'm a triplet, in their heads they imagine three of me running around somewhere. How crazy would that be?! Then I break the news that we are not. By this time people lose some interest in the fact that I'm a triplet. My guess is it's much more awesome to look the same which I completely agree. Often times I don't go out of my way to tell people that I'm a triplet because I think I don't like the attention that comes with it. Don't get me wrong I think it's cool I'm a triplet and the attention I get is not a lot but still if I can avoid the attention all together I rather not announce it to the world. The next questions I receive are, " What's it like being a triplet? Can you read each others minds?" "No we can't read each others minds." Then I proceed to think back to a time where I can read one of my siblings minds. "Mmm nope,nothing comes to mind. " Honestly I have no idea where this question come from. Maybe somewhere in the world a very small amount of twins and triplets can read each others minds but I have yet to meet one. I wouldn't like to read my brother and sister's  mind any who. God know what they are think and I believe it's vice versa. What ideas and thoughts you have are yours and yours only whether your a triplet, twin or none of the those. When people ask me what's it like being a triplet, I have no idea what to tell them. In my family I have an older brother then it's the three of us. My oldest brother is my best friend and it's kind of odd because technically I'm the "baby." So when I'm trying to answer this question, I tell people, "Imagine (if you have other brothers and sister) all of your sibling and you being born at the same time. That's what being a triplet is like." Now this point of view is coming from a girl who is a fraternal set of triplets. My fellow siblings and I don't look the same. If we were identical it would be a different story...I think. Everytime I see twins that look the same, I'm so amazed! I remember being in kindergarten with identical twins in my class. I didn't know I was a triplet at the time because my mind couldn't comprehend this idea. When I saw these twins in my mind I said to myself, "Why is there two of them?!" I thought it was the coolest thing in the world, still do. I have met triplets that are identical. They are the cutest things in the world because they all look like David Beckham. So CUTE! But that for another time. This the end of my first offical blog. Stay in tune for more :)
