This morning on my way to work, I had to change my usual route due to a transportation problem beyond my control. A few years ago, if this had happened, I would have freaked out and not known what to do, as I was not used to the issues that can occur in a big city. However, since I’ve become accustomed to plans changing recently, I just started walking in the direction of the office, sure of myself and prepared for whatever situations might arise later . Looking at this blip in my routine more closely, I saw it as a small representation of more significant moments that become catalysts for future changes. Life is an ever-evolving entity and you never know what will happen from one moment to the next. Sometimes, days will go by where nothing new happens and routines becoming solidly intertwined with the time that passes. Every once in a while, though, there are a few days that just change up the entire sequence, turning into a bull in a china shop in terms of directed clarity. Maybe there was a build-up to this emotional catharsis or perhaps you never saw it coming. Either way, what changes the course of your day in growth and evolution are the defining sequences that you ultimately remember, even if you were originally caught off guard and did not understand their significance at the time. How does one deal with major changes, especially when you have little time to process the moment? Calmly approaching new situations with a positive outlook helps keep your emotions in check and your mind open, especially when the lesson is unexpected. Being prepared for the turning points in life, no matter how small, is an important test in anticipation and something you can accomplish with the strength of a seasoned fighter. The more times you get knocked down and have to navigate confusing situations, the more ready you will be when you encounter them again. Every moment is education for future adventures, so always be on the look-out for the learning experiences that put you ahead for looming challenges! Why Is Anticipation So Important? In another vein, you never know when people will surprise you with their support and responses to important things that you tell them. Although you should always be cautious with whom you share things with, if they’re people that really mean something to you and vice versa, you should be able to trust them with your inner-most secrets and fears. Don’t hold back from making changes to your life if you are merely afraid to express yourself honestly. If you keep a high level of optimism and minimal cynicism while telling people something difficult, your life can greatly improve due to your positive attitude and sense of well-being! Family and friends are the rocks of a healthy existence , so keep trusted people close and never compromise your personal ideals. If you have support from the people who love you, nothing can stop you from being yourself! In order to be prepared for the curve-balls and unexpected events that life throws at you, be alert and well-rested, first and foremost. If you’re constantly ready for the moments that could throw off your day, life will make much more sense to you in the long run! Also, since you never know what is meant to occur that could change your life, always keep a healthy attitude and a strong level of optimism. While you shouldn’t be too idealistic about the situations encounter, being ready for anything means having a smile on your face . With your head up and your eyes wide open, you are ready to face the world with open arms. Keep your strong, independent attitude and an exciting life will be lying at your feet! 5 Ways To Make Yourself Stand Out

Cyrus tweeted a photo of her equal-sign tattoo over the weekend, prompting debate among fans regarding gay rights. By Jocelyn Vena Miley Cyrus’ new equal rights tattoo Photo: Miley Cyrus’ Twitter Miley Cyrus has never shied away from speaking her mind, and over the weekend she posted a photo of her latest body ink on Twitter : an equal-sign tattoo on her middle finger. In addition to sharing with the world her pro-gay rights stance via tat, she tweeted the message, “All LOVE is equal.” However, the photo quickly prompted a debate on her Twitter account when fans began to respond to Miley’s tattoo with mixed feelings. “Where does it say in the bible to judge others? Oh right. It doesn’t,” Miley tweeted to one fan who questioned her belief in God after displaying her support of the gay community. “GOD is the only judge honey. GOD is love.” But when her fans began attacking the fan who questioned her, Miley defended her for sharing her opinion with the world. “Dude everyone lay off … Love u! Everyone is entitled 2 opinions! If u don’t stand 4 something you’ll fall for anything.” Her Twitter profile shares a similar message: “Let your light shine. Be a source of strength & courage. Share your wisdom. RADIATE LOVE.” This isn’t the first time that Miley’s sharing her beliefs on Twitter has sparked debate. In a Parade magazine interview in March 2010, Cyrus said that one of the reasons she had quit Twitter for a time was that she was getting angry tweets from fans who didn’t agree with her support of gay marriage. She returned to Twitter earlier this year. “There has been so much controversy sometimes about what I’ve said or done because I believe there are no mistakes, because God is the only one who can judge us,” Cyrus explained. “That’s the reason I deleted my Twitter account because I said on there that I believed in gay marriage because everyone should have the right to love each other, and I got such hate mail about my being a bad person.” What do you think of Miley’s outspoken support of marriage equality and gay rights?

This is the story of my VERY unexpected 2nd Bieber experience. It was a Saturday morning, July 16, 2011. I had just returned home from a vacation trip with my best friend, Paige Ito (paigeito2) and her family. I was so exhausted since it was 3am when I returned home that morning. My Mom let me sleep in but woke me up in time to remind me that it was Jeanine’s wedding day. This was an “adult only” wedding and no children were attending. Jeanine decided to invite some of the older cousins which included me. I debated whether to attend the wedding or stay back and watch my three little cousins so my older cousin could go since I was so tired. After discussing what to do, my Mom suggested that I go and said I would have fun since my other teenage cousins were now coming. I said okay and off to Malibu we go. We arrive to the wedding and it’s the most beautiful, perfect day ever. There were only four of us teenagers (cousins) that were invited. As the night progressed the DJ announces that it’s time for the cake cutting ceremony. So everyone heads over to the opposite side of the dance floor. While the cake ceremony is going on, my Mom, cousin Alyssa, cousin Marisa, my Aunt Cece and like four other random people I didn’t know (including this mustache man behind me..lol) were on the dance floor. My cousin Alyssa and I were excited to have the dance floor to ourselves. We were like finally! KID TIME!! We spoke to the DJ and gave him the sign that it “was time”. Time to play some JUSTIN BIEBER!!! We had already talked to the DJ prior to this point about playing some Bieber songs and he assured us he would play them. So the DJ starts us off with “Baby” and we start jamming out. I asked my Mom if she would record Alyssa and I dancing and she was like sure! Since the cake ceremony still appeared to be going on the DJ plays another song for us it’s ”One Time”. We were like YESSS!! The DJ saw that we are having so much fun and hands me the microphone . I was a little embarrassed but Alyssa and I were like who cares, lets sing this thing!!! No ones really paying attention to us. haha. No one prepared us for what was about to happen. While we were in our own little world singing and dancing I feel this person dancing behind me and I KNEW it wasn’t Alyssa. There were only “adults” at this wedding so I immediately think it’s “mustache man” who was dancing directly behind me. It scared me SO bad that I instinctively jumped back…like NO mustache man, get out! lol. I look, and its freakin’ JUSTIN BIEBER!! If my calculations are correct this would make a total of about 10 heart-attacks that boy has given me if that’s even possible. In my mind I was like “again?!” “How are you here?!?!” “What’s happening?!?!” “WHATTT?!?!” Did Ellen set this up???. I said “Oh my God!” and put my hand over my mouth. He scared me so bad! He was like “Ohh, hey”…all casual like no big deal…and gave me a hug. My cousin Alyssa starts screaming. Justin says to me ”How are you”. I’m like “ummm uhhh ummm good” (why cant I just answer him back like a normal person? haha). He like casts this spell on you and I become this speachless person that I’m so not. Trying my hardest to keep focused, I continue on singing because Justin looks at me like “Keep going”. Justin then starts to dougie! I somehow pull myself together and dougie with him. By this time everyone at the wedding had received the memo that Justin Bieber had crashed the wedding and they start crowding around. Selena was there cracking up on the side. The DJ then plays ”OLLG”. I try to give Justin the microphone and I think he was embarrassed because he didn’t want to take over the party. We laughed then I asked him, “What are you doing here?” He was like “We were just strolling on the beach and we heard someone singing my song”. I was like “Really?.. You came to my house, remember?”. Justin said ”Ohh yeah, you’re Paige!”. I was like “YEAAA!”. Then being the respectful person he is, Justin asked, “Have you met my girlfriend?” He smiled. He lead me through the crowd and introduced me to Selena. There she was even more beautiful in person and so so adorable. I hugged her. Then she says, “We heard his music so we came”. Then we stayed with Selena while Justin walked over to congratulate the bride and groom and pose for some photos . We kept talking with Selena. Everyone seemed really happy to see Justin and Selena. Being respectful Justin says, “Thanks, we have to go now”. Selena and Justin smiled and waved good-bye to me and Alyssa. The whole wedding is in complete shock. Seriously, what were the chances of that happening? Like 0 to infinity? Alyssa and I run down the hill to the wood fence facing the ocean. We threw our hands up the the sky and yell, “THANK YOU GOD!!!!!”. We continued screaming and laughing our heads off. My cousin Alyssa lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She is also a huge Justin Bieber fan and never thought she would ever meet Justin. She ended up needing her asthma inhaler because she was crying so hard and couldn’t breathe. I was like Alyssa, just take deep breaths! (I learned that method on Ellen). This was clearly a case of being in the right place at the right time. What if I didn’t go to the wedding? Would anyone have played any of Justin’s songs? It was a crazy, very unexpected night. I go home to think about what had just happened. The only thing I could think about was how happy Justin made everyone, my family, my little cousin and me. He makes people so happy and who does that?! What other freakin famous celebrity does that? Just Justin. He is seriously one of the most amazing people in this world. He continues to show me how bad I want to live out my dreams and how bad I want to make everyone I meet happy. I think about this experience and feel so very very blessed and thank God everyday for my life, my family and my friends. I really do hope that all Justins fans get to meet him someday. He is everything you imagined and then some. I think I would personally be jealous of someone who had the opportunity to have two huge experiences to meet Justin, but I know I would be the first to say to them, I’m so happy for you because that’s what Beliebers do. We should be happy for each other and share our experiences together . Who would of thought Justin and Selena would ever crash my cousins wedding that day? Ya not me but I’m sooo glad they did! -@paigeconway2 Talking about the wedding on GMA More: This is the story of my VERY unexpected 2nd Bieber…
Sometimes a set of pictures come along that completely blow my mind, this is one of those times. Supermodel Candice Swanepoel is so damn gorgeous at the best of times, so dressing her up is incredibly sexy fetish-like lingerie is almost too much for me to handle. A sexy cop with fuzzy handcuffs? Yes please. As if I wasn’t in love with this woman enough already. Marry me?
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are moving on. Not from each other. But from The Twilight Saga. Pattinson will star in Bel Ami later this year, the first trailer for which was released this week. Stewart, meanwhile, will update a classic fairy tale in Show White and the Huntsman , a possible trilogy that brought the cast together for a panel at Comic-Con this weekend. Snow White and the Huntsman Comic-Con Panel How would the actress describe her version of this well-known character? “She’s got this amazing ability to channel fear, things that people are typically very afraid of, into this really focused, really charged, driving energy,” Stewart said. “She’s also like the people’s leader and… truly doesn’t let her heart cloud her mind. [She] doesn’t let her mind get in the way of doing things she feels strongly about. Also, I get to have a sword and stuff.” Charlize Theron meanwhile, plays the Evil Queen and made us laugh with her description: “She’s dark. She’s a serial killer. I’m pretty much preparing to play a serial killer. I’m trying to ground it and make it something real. Watch out, Kristen.” Show White and the Huntsman comes out on June 1, 2012.
