It's been 3 weeks since it happened, but I'm still feeling a bit down about it all! I'm not supposed to talk publicly about the details but, he was a 2 year old, died of SIDS.

He was originally in our hospital before passing away from SIDS, he was undernourished and neglected by his parents when he came to my ward. Nothing points to his undernourishment as the cause of his death as he had been in recovery for quite some time then, and was recovering very fast and amazingly well!

It's so sad. I don't know how to feel about it yet, he was such a cute little boy. It's unfortunate the way he was treated by his parents - but for those of you wondering if his family is going to get charged, well, there's a case so far. Child services/the police are looking into it now, and I hope the little boy is done justice!

Anyway, how has your weeks been? ^_^ ]]> Savi http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/56580/experienced-my-first-death-work-3-weeks-ago-56487/ <![CDATA[Savi's Talks: Suicide.]]> http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/56580/savis-talks-suicide-55754/ Tue, 22 Jan 2013 15:21:02 GMT
"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than what other people think or say or do. It is more than appearance, gift, or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...The only thing we can do is play on the string we have and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me, and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you...we are in charge of our attitudes." -Charles Swindoll

Sometimes people feel down, and then sometimes, people feel so down and they can't get back up. Suicide is a huge taboo which is sadly a cause of many young-adult, teenage, middle-aged, and even elderly and children deaths. It's a hard thing to swallow, and it causes a huge downfall on the people around the victims.

There are many myths about suicide. One common one is that it is cowardly, it is a choice, and that it is selfish. Ultimately suicide is someone's choice, but while people are busy judging and not helping the situation, they are pleading for help. Most people who commit suicide do not recieve the help they need, which can often be looked upon as 'it was their choice'. Well no, it was not their choice.

I understand that to commit suicide you have to be in a very dark place, where reaching out is your only option. People have to find you and reach you, to understand you, to take the time to listen and do the best they can to prevent this dark thing of taking hold and not letting go. Depression is a huge factor with suicide, it is not easy. My twin sister Eva has been clinically depressed for 6-7 years now, and it is so hard. Sometimes she is a happy, bubbly, loving girl, and then she becomes this upset, angry, confused and empathetic girl. She's not bipolar, she's just severely depressed because of bullying.

Bullying. I cannot fathom how someone could purposely belittle someone in order to feel better about themselves or just look cool in general. Bullying is definitely a huge underlying factor in suicide, and depression. You know, I just don't see how you could sit there and insult someone just to make them feel bad. You aren't helping ANYONE.



The above makes me so sad sometimes, knowing that people are asking for help and they do not receive it. Maybe they don't talk about it, maybe they're always smiling, but it's not so much physical appearance that gives warning signs. It's the attitude. People who're severely depressed and/or suicidal can't hold conversations, they don't sound happy, they don't act happy, they don't talk, they avoid confrontation or speaking because they're scared. They're so scared that someone is going to reach into their 'deep dark place' and push them further in. They're so scared that no one is going to help them and pull them out and into the real world. They're afraid, of almost everything. Give someone a reason not to be afraid.

Suicide shouldn't be a taboo anymore. It should be talked about, discussed, nor glorified or looked down upon. I think 2013 should bring changes to this sort of thing, especially how well educated people are on it. If you know someone who has been down lately, make sure to try and brighten up their day a little. If you know someone who is severely depressed then contact a help line, or just be there for them. Nothing is worse than having no one when you're alone. ]]> Savi http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/56580/savis-talks-suicide-55754/ <![CDATA[Pokemon X & Y legendary theory!]]> http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/56580/pokemon-x-y-legendary-theory-55604/ Mon, 14 Jan 2013 04:39:53 GMT

Eating healthy should never be a chore, but something that you do on a day to day basis to keep your health up. Healthy people are happy people. There is nothing wrong with giving your body an extra Litre of water to flush toxins out, or eating an extra carrot, just because. I love eating fruits, but they aren't the healthiest food of all.

Carotenoids will be your best friends. They help aid in reducing the risk of cancer, heart disease, and many other problems which many people encounter. These are found in Carrots, Sweet Potatoes, Papaya, and even Tomatoes. There is also a link between these and reducing the risk of vision loss/blindness in elder people!

Folic Acid is a good source of nutrients, which is needed in every day life. Though these beautiful little nutrients aren't found in the nicest of foods. You can get these in Asparagus, Broccoli, Avacado, and Cauliflower. There are many more, but these would be some of the most Folic Acid rich foods. Folic Acid aids in preventing Birth defects which is important for women who are tryinng to get pregnant, and a lack of these nutrients can even lead to depression in some cases.

Antioxidants are basically what makes up health. You eat them nearly every day if you aren't consuming fatty foods such as McDonalds as a breakfast/lunch/tea, or KFC. They are found in nearly all fruit, if not all, and vegetables. They are extremely helpful in aiding the immune system, and much more.

Eating healthy provides your every day life with the things you need to get through each day. I am an avid healthy eater, I live off nuts, fruits, vegetables and seared chicken. I love Caesar salads and I cut out the meat if I can help it. I do not eat red meats, though I should probably start, my body just doesn't accept them, or like them. Salads are extremely healthy and they don't have to be boring! So many people complain that they are tasteless and extremely annoying to eat. You obviously haven't come across a Caesar salad.

Caesar salad's are quite healthy, they have Lettuce, Egg, Bacon, Parmesan Cheese, Chicken, and a Caesar salad dressing. You can also take things out and add them, but that is probably the most traditional version of a Caesar salad I've ever had. They're delicious and so nice to eat!

Water is a big must when eating healthy. I occasionally have a Pepsi Max if I want to mix it up, but water is essential to me and I drink about 10 cups a day. I've heard it makes your eyes brighter, though, I'm not entirely sure on that one! Though the perks of drinking water are so much greater than any healthy eating! Water flushes out your toxins, helps your kidneys, your overall appearance, and your bodily function. Think of your body like a car. Water is the petrol. It needs it to run!

Other than healthy eating, to continue to aid your body in being healthy, you should consider lots of cardio and exercise. Cardio is a great way to keep in shape, and not to mention, it's fun.

Read on.]]> http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/56580/savis-wild-new-years-eve-night-read-55258/ Tue, 01 Jan 2013 07:05:18 GMT Shots shots shots shots shots shots, shots shots shots shots shots, shots shots shots shots shots, every Savi!

Hello my little lovebugs, I'll do my best to recite my wild night as best I can. Stay tuned because I can assure you it ventures entertainment for all ;).

9:00PM. Had about 3 drinks in hand, all Midori mixed. Passionfruit + Illusion + Midori. Quite possibly the most tastiest drink in the world, aside from Baileys which I had 4 shots of straight after those 3. I was tipsy by the end of the shots, and by the end of all these drinks it was time to order food.

10.30PM. Had sent the boys down to McDonalds to get a lot of food, cost about $180 for all of us, there would have been about 26 in total. Ended up only eating minimal amounts and giving the remainders to bell boys/lobby assistants and people like Estoban from the Suite life of Zac and Cody. He was pretty sweet!

11:00PM. Decided we'd head down to the river to watch the fireworks, was on my 11th drink by this time. We went to a club for the first half hour in which I got into a fight with a girl who tried to makeout with my friends boyfriend. I punched her, she pushed me against her pole and broke my arm, so I kicked her in the thigh and thus started the screaming. I can remember her screaming, it sounded like a retarded Dolphin eating noodles on the side of the road in busy traffic. I don't remember being taken from the club, but I think my friends took me out before I could have been kicked out.

12:00PM. HAPPY NEW YEARS, BITCHES. By this time someone was holding my hair as I threw up into the river, just sharing a bit of me with the world as I'd like to call it. ;) ;) I did get a few new years kisses, but none with anyone special or in particular. I would have rather having a boyfriend, but ay, shit happens!

2:00AM. Finally got back to the hotel after walking for 2 or so hours, went up to drink more. Passed out a few times, threw up, got a massage from some random.

5:00AM. After finishing ALL of the drinks, I decided it was time for bed. I was very reluctant though, of course.

9:00AM. Woke up. I needed to leave the hotel by 11:00AM. I didn't drive because I was extremely hung over, hungry, and tired. So I let my sister drive my car. Other than that I was wondering why the hell I had a cast around my arm, it's broken. Kind of painful to type but eh I'll live.

So how was your new years?

FAQ:

So how many drinks did you have, in total?

See I'll have to add this up, so bare with me! I had 6 Midori mixed's in total, 4 Baileys shots, 3 bottles of Smirnoff ice, 2 Vodka + lemonades, 2 Long Island Iced Teas, 3 Vodka shots, and 4 Double Blacks.

I guess you could say I got pretty wasted. Fuck. And yes, I don't get drunk often. ]]> Savi http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/56580/savis-wild-new-years-eve-night-read-55258/ Omg the feels! http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/56580/omg-feels-55204/ Mon, 31 Dec 2012 06:43:28 GMT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCAwXb9n7EY cries.

I know he likes me because he's told me and he always compliments me and such and I feel really bad because I can't return that. I don't like him like that, at all, I never could. I see him as too much of a brother. To put it short, he's in the friend-zone.

Whenever one of my friends talks to me about boys and he sees it, say on Facebook or something, he comments with stupid things like "lol." or "whore.". It'll be about a celebrity and he does the same thing. Then he sends me messages saying he's sorry, all these stupid things about how he didn't mean it. I never reply and I've stopped talking to him over the past 2 weeks.

Then he wrote this thing on FB: "You're the reason why I have scars on my wrist." and about 3 people have tagged me in comments, and I sent him a message: "How am I the reason you cut yourself..?"

His reply: "Because you aren't returning my feelings."

Now I don't know what to do. It's kind of psycho-creepy that he's that upset about it. ]]> Savi http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/56580/heeeeeeeelp-please-55127/ NARUTO AND HINATA, OH MY GOD. http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/56580/naruto-hinata-oh-my-god-55097/ Thu, 27 Dec 2012 05:35:33 GMT oh my god. oh my god. ]]> Savi http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/56580/naruto-hinata-oh-my-god-55097/ Car fanatics: 350Z or 370Z http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/56580/car-fanatics-350z-370z-55095/ Thu, 27 Dec 2012 05:21:28 GMT Can some of you list some difference, and/or anything I'd need to know before going to have a look at some! ]]> Savi http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/56580/car-fanatics-350z-370z-55095/ <![CDATA[Savi's Talks: So you think you're being cheated on........]]> http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/56580/savis-talks-so-you-think-youre-being-cheated-55092/ Thu, 27 Dec 2012 04:05:28 GMT I remember when I was with my ex there were so many warning signs that I just didn't listen to. I was stupid to not listen to my friends/family but when you love someone you tend to stick to your guts. I was stupid in the sense that I didn't recognise the signs that are associated with cheaters. If anyone has been cheated on then you know that it's a hard thing to go through, but the key to getting through this is to stick to your guns. Once a cheater, always a cheater. If you let them get away with it then they will only move on to do it again.

So how do we recognise these signs?

# They're very, very secretive. I know when my ex was cheating on me he hid his phone, changed the password/lock for it, never let me read texts and deleted some of my posts on FB. All the while he was constantly checking up on me. I think they feel insecure and vulnerable whilst cheating - they want to make sure you aren't on to them.

# Expect a lot of argumentative behaviour. The thought of getting caught can sometimes initialize their argumentative state, and they'll think you're going against them a lot more often than normal. They may even confront you about your annoying moods, which are actually normal. It's just them worrying about getting caught.

# You're not exactly in the loop. They say they're going there, but actually they're over here.

# They become sloppy. When they're in too deep, say they've cheated on you at least 5-10 times now, they'll begin to make mistakes. They will take their car to go see a neighbour, or they'll take longer to get home from work/school/a friends house. They will make subtle mistakes because they are getting away with it. At this stage, they'll be thinking that they have you fooled and have it over you.

# Love-making won't exactly be, love-making. It'll be just casual sex to them now. You might find they don't put it the effort, or that it becomes lazy and one-sided.

# PDA? no-more. They will stop holding your hand, they'll stop kissing you affectionately. All because they feel guilty, now.

# Guilt. It eats away at them eventually. They'll become more lazy with the cheating and to be honest by now you should have realised you were being cheated on, if this stage is where you're at. You'll notice by now that they aren't argumentative any more, and they actually show some sort of remorse. Either by doing something nice for you or by ignoring you.

Not every person is the same, but most of these signs are the most common. They are easily picked up on, especially if it has been going on for a while now.

Things you should consider:

# In most cases it's not your fault. People cheat because they get bored, they want the thrill of it, they don't like/love their partner anymore, they may have found someone more interesting, or just because they want to. There are more reasons but of course those are the main ones. Just don't blame yourself too heavily, it's probably just because they're a complete jack ass.

# Do you want to continue being with them? or not. If it were me, I'd say no. I was glad my boyfriend and I broke up because of this, I didn't want to put myself through this. Now I'm someone who puts everyone else first, and it felt weird that I was for once, the one being put first. But, I knew that if I wanted to continue being happy then I'd have to. I let him go and that was the best decision of my life. I do miss him occasionally, but I just remember; he was a no-good cheating, liar. He deserves the worst.

My story (if y'all are interested):



All I'm saying is, warning signs should not be ignored. :) xoxo Savi. ]]> Savi http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/56580/savis-talks-so-you-think-youre-being-cheated-55092/
