about

I'm Almedina. I'm foreign, and I'm pretty much ready to handle whatever life throws at me. Ha, pretty random that I go from being foreign to life,but anyways. I've had this column for about two yearsnow, and I don't update it as I should, or want to but with school and this crazy teenage life of mine, it gets pretty hard to do so. I've been giving advice to all my friends since I can remember and I love trying to help them. I'm out going and extrememly loud once you get to know me. I'm usually shy at first unless I've gotten to know you. I don't understand life sometimes. But I've got my whole life to figure out the meaning of it. I'm selfish at times, and stubborn. I care too much about things I shouldn't and not enough about the MOST important things in my life. I'm very annoyed with people at times, and tend to just block everyone out. I'm afraid to say I'm in love, but I'm not afraid of love itself. I'm myself and that's all I can be. I've gone through a lot, so I'm willing to help in whatever way I can (:

advice

On facebook, I know that you can put in this symbol on your status

The heart you can create by typing in & hearts ; but without the spaces. It's just codes like that they use.

My nipples have just a little bit of hair around them, but its light. is that normal

Yeah it's pretty normal, most girls have this. If you notice any changes, or if it starts to hurt,itch,etc. talk to your doctor about it.

what are some good books?
I love gossip girl.
the clique books are okay.
I read the It girl
i love fashion
i want to be an actress
all suggestions greatly appresheated!

Lovely Bones; is an amazing book.
Love Sick; is very good too.
Twilight, and all the other series.
Seance ; is also a good book.

These books are more towards like teenage issues and romance but they're good.

i had a dream last night that another girl kissed me. Im a girl and i like guys FOR SURE! haha i dont know what this dream means

It's just a dream and it's pretty normal; people have all sorts of weird dreams sometimes. Many people have them and if you like guys then you have nothing to worry about.

there is a girl in my school who makes these totes and sells them and they sell pretty well. but, i was thinking of selling something because i really need the money. but, i can't think of anything. i don't wanna make jewelry because that wouldn't sell so well. I want to sell something more original, but what? keychains,? like really pretty keychains with crystals.... but how would i go around promoting them?? Because if I make flyers or something and pass them around, it will look too desperate. I want it to look elegant.

any help is appreciated
thank you

Have your friends & people who may not be your close friends advertise it for you. By this I mean, they can wear it & if people like that item it'll catch their eye and they'll ask where they got it from.

I have a Blackjack, and on AT&T you can have them tell you how many minutes you have left in a text. When i read the text it says how many minutes i have, and then at the bottom it says N&W: Unlimited. What does this mean?

Nights & Weekend minutes are unlimited meaning you can use those minutes all the time in that time frame without them going against your usage.

Does anyone know where i can watch gossip girl online (the most recent episode....Seventeen Candles) YOutube seems to have deleted all of the videos (its says that Warner Bros. Deleted them for copyright infringment). and i can't find a website that has it....OR does anyone know when teh CW will post it on thier site?

I don't think there's a site where you can watch the series online but I know there's a repeat of that week's show on Sundays at 6PM. This site has some things on it, but it's like bits and pieces, but try it out.

okay so, i had CellularOne before, but US Cellular bought them out in my town in Kansas, and i am DYING for a Motorola MOTO Q, and I was looking on ebay and it said the the phone worked for CellularOne and some other providers, but will it work with US Cellular if it works for CellularOne?

I'm pretty sure it would, if US Cellular bought them. Plus doesn't pretty much any phone work for any company? I'm sure it does, but call one of the reps in your area to make sure, so you don't go buy it and then it not be able to work.

Hi, Alma! I am a girl, and I am completely straight, but I think you are really pretty!!! I was wondering if you had any diet tips for someone who is overweight 20 lbs.

Hey, thanks :] To lose weight, you have to really stick to a diet and exercise - so try to get someone who will motivate you and keep you going :] Cutting out soda - completely; will help you lose weight [over a one month period.] My friend's mom cut out soda out of her diet and lost about 10 pounds in a month. Also avoid fats - almost none, or completely none. But as we all know, that's impossible so sparingly eating fats & oils is the best solution. Also do cardio exercises three times a week for about 20-40 minutes at a time. There's plenty of magazines that can help you choose and demonstrate different workouts. The key to losing weight is to eat more smaller meals, less calories, a workout, and to STAY MOTIVATED. Don't give up on yourself if you don't see results ASAP, because you won't until after a little while. Good luck :]

how much of a tip should i give the lady who waxes my eyebrows as well as my sister's? she's doing both of ours today & my mom isn't home to tell me (she's in another time zone & it's to early to call her to ask what she normally gives).

I usually give about $2 dollars. It's not that big of a deal actually. About two or three dollars would be fine.

heyy
i have braces and had them for about 2 years now top and bottem.

i want my top teeth stright and alighned (all is going well) exept i have a small gap in between my front teeth that wassnt there before (at least i dont think it was) ive noticed it for like 2 months now mabie...
and i think its cute and unigue and i like it its not big its just really small. and i want it there, i always admired models with a small gap in thier teeth. =] and i want mine to stay that way i always felt a model doesnt need perfection and i too want to be a model and will want it there.
and i dont want the braces to fix it eather.
even if i dont become a model.

is there anyway to tell my orthadontest that i want to keep the small gap?
is there anyway i can keep my braces to help alighn my other teeth and keep the small gap between my fron teeth

some people might think its wierd but it looks cute on me and i like it.
thnaxx

Just tell your ortho that you actually like the gap, & ask them not to bring your teeth closer together anymore from that point. They might object because it is after all your parent's money and they might not want to be paying a lot of money for a gap. But talk to your parents first, & maybe they can just tell your ortho for you.

I don't get the "Greatest Team You've Never Heard Of..." What's it all about?

Since you didn't give specifics on what you're trying to ask about, most people won't know what you're talking about. But try to google it ? And it could just be a title that is meant to be comprehended into many different ways.

i love this band.
can you name some more bands?
preferably bands that most people havent heard of because i like having songs people dont know

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=138000476

You can go to google, type in the band's name + lyrics. It will give you song names plus the lyrics. So if you like the lyrics download the song.

whats a support code??

On myspace, it's when other people support, as in advertise another person's account. It's basically saying, "Here add this person. I've added them and I like their ideas, & such."

Why is it whan i take a picture it looks really bad but when i lok at myself in the mirrori see myself as somewhat pretty???????

It's probably just the camera. How you see yourself is how the world will to [:

now that it's summer, my eating habits are way different.

when i had school, i'd eat breakfast, lunch and dinner (and have a snack) basically at the same time every day.

but now, it's all messed up. i wake up at the latest like 11:00 (today i woke up at 9:30ish though) i usually don't eat breakfast right away, so i won't eat it till atleast 30 minutes later. like today i didn't eat until probably 10:15. plus, i don't always eat the healthiest foods- um today i had pudding..but then i topped it off with cantaloupe and watermelon. usually i'm home alone with my brother so i can eat whatever i want without my parents telling me not to lol.

so from eating breakfast late, that messes up when i have lunch and i won't have that till later either. but dinner i'm ok since my mom makes it.

but lately i've been going to bed really late..like 1 or 2 in the morning. and i'll be up in my room watching tv and i'll start feeling hungry. but i don't want to go downstairs to get food, or wake up my parents or have to brush my teeth again. so then i'll go to bed kinda hungry, and wake up reallly hungry.

so today (it started mostly yesterday), i ate my little breakfast-didn't eat lunch yet.. but now i'm all messed up. like, i'll eat something, but i'll still feel hungry right after i eat it. right now, i feel really hungry. i just ate like two cheese thingies though. it's like nothing is filling me.

i'm hungryy!!!! like i have that feeling in my stomach, but i don't really feel like eating. but i want it to go away so ill eat stuff but it's not going away. so i'll have lunch soon. but idk if it's gonna go away. ah i dont know what to do help me please?!?

You could try having a fairly small snack when you are feeling like this because you don't want to starve yourself. If you're hungry, then just eat. If you're worried about gaining weight, just eat something light in calories and carbs. Salad is a good snack that can fill you up [: Once school starts this won't be a matter anymore, just watch out on too much snacky foods.

in my house, we don't have any kind of lubricants...for things like masturbation...and...gosh this is embarrassing...but is there ANY type of safe lubricate that is healthy and can be found around the house? I know Vaseline is a brand...but it says petroleum jelly..and I doubt that can be used haha.

I've heard you can use baby oil.

does anyone know any fun different rules for playing socialbles?

I've never played the game, but what you can do is just make up your own rules for it. That way it'll be more exciting.

Okay I personally am a dark person. I love vampires and reading musty books and listening to goth music and I like wearing the color black. Now heres the problem my mom won't let me buy black clothes and I don't know what to do. She won't let me get black nail polish or let me wear eyeliner but I really want to. What should I do? Also my room is really disgusting. In the morning I have very very very very light pink walls and in the evening it looks coffee with creme curtains how do I make it look more gothic or punk. I really want to show my mom that I'm not a normal kid and that she can't change it.

Just tell your mom that's who you are. It's kind of like coming out of the "closet" but not in that way. Tell your parents that's who you are, and they can't change that. And if the object, just keep doing what you are. After a while, they'll realize you are serious and they should let you be.

That does sound sort of gothic, but you could try a dark blue or a dark purple comforter instead of green unless you want your bed to stand out.
