A Wife's Confession

Written from the prompt "It's not easy loving a loser like Johnny....," from https://wealthywritersclub.com/creative-writing-prompts/

It's not easy loving a loser like Johnny. He is very handsome and kind, but he can be, well, a handful. For starters, when he comes home from work, he always leaves his dirty, stinky clothes on the floor. Whenever I tell him to pick him up, he claims that he is too busy watching football. I always end up picking up his clothes. Total gag alert! Second of all, he snores like a 200 lb elephant. I used to wake up with bags under my eyes. Now when he snores, I just stuff one of our son's blocks into his mouth. Thirdly, every time he hears his favorite song in public, he breaks out in freaky dance moves. It is super embarrassing! I try to tell him to knock it off, but he is as stubborn as a mule. Lastly, he is so forgetful. Sometimes he forgets major important things, such as picking up our kids from school, or taking the chicken out of the fridge. Nevertheless, I still love my Johnny-poo. Sure, he's not perfect, but he is kind, funny, and makes the effort to be there for me and out kids. I wouldn't want to spend my life with anyone else. 

I am trying again this year to raise money for a 1Mission birthday campaign. Please open your hearts and donate as much money as you can! If you need to be convinced, you can go click on the link below to go back to my post from last Tuesday and listen to my End Bad Housing Conditions Rap. Nighty-night, y'all! :) :) <3

St. Joachim and Anne Feast Day

Hola, guys! So today was the feast day of St. Joachim and Anne, the parents of the Virgin Mary. This morning, I was watching the Daily Mass, and the Homily was great. The priest was pointing out that each of us has been shaped by our upbringing. He explained that our parents and families helped us to become what we are today. Additionally, he shed light on the issue of families growing distant because of the constant use of technology.  I agree that we should try to toss the gadgets and enjoy each other's company, pretend it's 1994. It is not easy (I know I myself am shy about starting conversations), but it is part of the glue that keeps families together! 🙂🙂🙂💓💓💓💓💓

No, You Can't Kill Me (2016)

This song is about anti-abortion. I believe that every unborn child has a right to life. Not that I don't sympathize with teen parents who want to finish school, but abortion is NOT the only option. Besides, if teenagers decided to have unprotected sex, the child should NOT be punished for their poor choices.

Lyrics:

No you cannot kill me

Uh uh no no 

No you cannot kill me

That would be low

If you could just look at me

And see that I'm a precious gift from God

You would not even think of doing something so wrong

You're making a big mistake

If you don't want me

Can't you at least look at other options?

Like adoption?

Chorus

No you cannot kill me

Uh uh no no

No you cannot kill me

That would be low 

No you cannot kill me

No way, Jose!

No you cannot kill me

That's just cray-cray

Imagine all the things that I could be

I could be a president

I could be a celebrity 

So if you even try to take my life

You will surely feel guilty

You know, everything is not about you

I wish you could get it into your head that I'm human, too.

(Chorus)

So do me a fave

Before you send me to the grave

Really think this over

Consider all the people who 

Were told they can't have kids

And hey, if you really don't want me

Can't you at least put them in your heart?

(Chorus-2x)

So back off, okay?

My Rap to End Bad Housing Conditions

This is a rap that I created last summer in order to persuade people to donate to my 1Mission campaign. I pledged my birthday in order to help 1Mission raise money for a certain family to receive assistance in building a better habitat for themselves. Unfortunately, I did not reach my goal (it was $8,000, by the way) because only one person donated (God bless that person!). I am considering trying it again this year. I am going to lower my goal amount, but hopefully more people donate this time!

Lyrics:

Hey y'alls, what's up, this is Lady Lordy

And I have something to tell you that's really important

Did ya know that not everyone is as lucky as us?

Now, according to 1Mission, in countries such as Mexico, El Salvador, and Nicaragua,

there are poor peeps living in bad housing conditions

So if making a difference is your flava,

Could you please do me a fava?

Click on the link on the description below

Eventually, you will be taken to my campaign page

When you get there, could ya please click the Donate button

And (wa-bam-bam) knock out some Benjamins!

Hey, hey, some Benjamins! (2x)

Hey, hey

That's all I have to say, so thank you for your time.

I will appreciate every dime.

Holla!

Your Loss (2016)

This song is about child neglect, and how I think it is uncool and it is the parents' loss for neglecting their kids and practicing favoritism. The circumstances in this song are fictional; I do not have a younger sister named Kaysie, and my parents did not neglect me (fortunately). Enjoy! If you want to sing along, the lyrics are below!

Lyrics:

Verse 1:

I come home after school

I wave and say, "Hi, Mom and Dad"

But you two just say nothing

Like I'm speaking another language

However when my younger sister

comes home you run to her 

and greet her as if she's Princess Kate

You ask about her day

And she goes on and on

I start to talk about mine

And you're like "Nobody asked you"

Chorus:

Obviously you think I'm just garbage

What did I do to deserve this?

Well, if you think I'm just dirt

You do not deserve me at all

And I am not upset

Because it's just your loss

Verse 2:

You never even bother to

Show up to my plays

Or give me praise for my expertise

But you would miss work

Just to go to Kaysie's games

And you never do anything big for my birthday

But you would throw supersized parties for my sister

Chorus

Bridge:

I've had it up to here with you scumbags

Adios, I'm leaving this hovel of a house

I'm sure I'll find another family

Who will love me 

And care for me 

Oh

Chorus (2x)

It's just your loss

It's your loss

It's your loss

I Like... (2014)

I like Ariana Grande;the red-headed lady
Who plays the best "cat"
I like SpongeBob Squarepants
The friendly cleaning appliance who lives in a tropical fruit
I like Junie B. Jones
The funny little girl with a personality like the sun's
I like my religion teacher, Ms. Parris
The Perky Persephone who can rock a harmonica
I like Times Square
A New Yorker's best friend
I like Full House
Where normal family life really isn't that normal
I like looking at photo albums
It makes me feel like I'm vacationing on Memory Lane Cruise Lines
I like Sabrina Spellman
The witch girl whose black cat isn't bad luck
I like the Winx
Cool teenage fairies who can handle problems with friendship, confidence, and magic
And lastly, I like the Beacon Street Girls, the number one friendship club
Shucks, enough about me...what do you like?

An Ode to My Childhood

Childhood, thank you so much for being awesome!

Although you gave me hell on some days,

I still appreciate all the times you gave me happiness and joy.

I have a million things to thank you for,

But sadly, I can only use up to 1500 words.

So, here is a medium list (Short is an understatement).

Thanks a bunch for:

• Providing me with VHS tapes and Blockbuster movies
• The fun I had playing games on the MyScene, Barbie, Polly Pocket, and Disney Channel Websites

• All the funny memories that I store inside my mind

My favorite one is of me pouring water into the chicken

That my mom was making for my sister.

• The amazing TV shows that I got to enjoy, such as

Yakkity Yak, Kappa Mikey, Winx Club, and Oobi

• The music videos that I had so much fun jamming to

Beyoncé, Gwen Stefani, Avril Lavigne, Laurie Berkner

• All the toys that I received

Barbies, Happy Meal dolls, jelly yo-yos, Slinkies

• All the delicious food that I filled my tummy with

Kid Cuisine, Trix yogurt, Hot Pockets, pizza rolls, Fruit Roll-Ups, KFC

• All the amazing books I got to read

Junie B. Jones, Cam Jansen, Mary-Kate and Ashley, The Babysitters Club

• Giving me a great education,

although I did not take it seriously at the time

• The friends that I had great times with

(I am still in touch with some of them)

Amy, Cassidy, Tara, Frank, Nikki, and Zukey

• My family, and the good memories that I have with them

My favorites: Playing Super Mario World with my sister

And going to church in Times Square with Uncle Hughes

But most of all, thank you for all the love that I received

Although most of that love was tough love that resulted in me

Bawling my eyes out

Childhood, merci beaucoup.

Love,

Lordy Emmanuela “Lala” Agnes Belance

Childhood Memories Poem

1-year old me sitting pretty

In her white and blue dress

Her black hair in little braids

An adorable dimpled smile on her chubby-cheeked face

That will steal the hearts of many

Her chubby hands grasping a book

Titled Baby Daisy’s Walk, which has

A cute picture of Baby Daisy Duck in a stroller

And a blue bird

Golden jewelry rests on Lordy’s body

The background a soft blue 

Seven-year old me all dressed up

For school picture day

I am modeling a red skirt and a matching

Shirt with the word “Girls” inscribed in black

My hair (longer this time) in two braids

With red barrettes, an innocent

Look on my face, and a cute smile

My hands are in my pockets

The background appears to be a

Treehouse with a balcony 

     

In my 3rd grade class picture

I am sitting in the front row

Sandwiched between Samantha Jakuboski and Nicola Nanco

My hair is in- you guessed it- braids!      

Glasses resting on my eyes and a toothed smile on my face

This time I am sporting the uniform white blouse and plaid jumper

Plus fancy pantyhose

Legs together and hands folded

Like the pretty little lady I was (and I’m still a pretty lady!)
