The Doco-series takes viewers into the highstakes world of real estate in the city of angles, Los Angeles. Take a peek into the lives of these top agents lives and work that can be "sometimes cut throat, as they ink million dollar deals." And they are def interesting...

One more Bravo show last but certainly save the best for last for all you fashionista's..

I must admit that Realty shows intrigue me, i'm glad they are in the forefont because we can observe and learn many things w/out leaving our houses these are real lives and take us to another world. People are def interesting...perhaps we can watch what others do and live vicariously through them to make us better people or take us to places we've never been...i do like fiction books Steinbeck, hemingway all of the classics & etc. but have always preferred nonfiction books, especially history.

And when watching all these shows you gotta have some eye candy N treats to snack on... =DD

Crumbs cupcakes, thier slogan, made by hand. Baked with Love. http://crumbsbakeshop.com

Shown here are the Brownie, Cookie dough with actual cookie atop, Red Velvet & much more certainly not your average cupcake.

Hope everyone is having a Happy & Healthy weekend! Note: time for me to hide the Laptop & really go to sleep, not trying to take all my meds 'cause then all i do is sleep, and sleep...

Psssssst. Everyone be good And kind to everyone. Much Love ALwayZs. ~farah XoXo

Dear Diary of Life...TAKE AWAY the SWINE FLU, PLEEzZE !! New Update OCt. 1

September 29, 2009 Tuesday

'An old Life dies and a new one begins..." by farah

Sorry if i haven't updated. i was/i am fighting for my life! during the past weekend my cold taken a dive for the worse and it was so bad my family called the ambulance...i didn't argue 'cause i was filled w/utter pain the worse i have ever felt in my Lifeeeeeeeeeee.

Immediatley they connected me to machines, IV, medication, feed me through my vains, made my body into a pin cushion for the better. @ this point i no longer knew who i was? just grateful...blurred vision i looked up and noticed my room, private with a large glass door surrounded by nurses and doctors wearing masks! the professionals peering through the glass door but giving me my privacy, peering through me with warm concerned glass glazed eyes.

what followed; tests, pain, misery, and more tests.

[ your Lucky 2be able to reflect, it's time for refelction" ]

..When the Doctor came into my dark quarantined room lit by a shiny hospital hallway corridar lights nosely peeking through glaring bright as my cranium has become sensitive to light. My doctor stood before me knowingly stern, serious, professioal and honest, "you have the swine flu...

["they say you see your Life flash right before your eyes"]

Growing up i have never belonged to a group: punk rock, emo, preppie, metal etc. and i still don't. Yes, i never went to the prom. i have lived my life IN insolation & @ times i have lived Life to the fullest !! there have been moments in my Life that "Life seems Stranger than Fiction."

["when will people stop labeling themselves & just BE, a symbol of Love, compassion" by farah]

The movie "Never been Kissed" was my high school life except i wasn't a nerd and no one teased me, i guess as my siblings & their popular friends have described me is a Loner & strange, perhaps an artist! aha ha. A huge part of my life was taken from me because i had a mysterous/secret relationship w/a high profile person when i was a teenager.

(p.s. i will never kiss & tell, so don't ask.)

i have just begain to start living again & having a BLAST!!

{"self redemption is everything!" by farah}

Lying in this bed as i have also voiced to my Doctor now i understand what it means to fight for your Life and not have the strength to fight.. As i am very weak, in the worst pain; muscle spasms that shake me almost out of the bed, to weak 2 speak, And moRe. They are giving me meds through my IV to combat pain nuasea, & soothe me...I'm flying @ the momment. As i have asked the professionals over my care please donot medicate me too much for i want to feel alittle pain so i know I AM ALIVE !!!!

I am connected to so many machines and they are constantly watching me. i am no longer in ICU...the outLOO OK is good!!!! but they want to make-sure i don't slide...only getting stronger.

Okay,the nurses have told me this is enough 4the day. I just want to say a few more things...

tips 2be nice 2others & stop fooling yourselves: 'cause kindness goes a long way.. Life is about having a positive impact.

make someone else feel Supa good or put a smile on their face/self redemption is everything,very rewarding to oneself.

everyone craves acceptance...

remember 2 Love thy neighbor regardless of who they may or maynot be is the greatest gift you can give & recieve" by farah]

Truley my life hasn't flashed B4 my eyes, i just look around my empty private room and think of everything that i have missed in my Life; being to critical of my work!

missing my spritual brothers BFF's: M.A. & S.G. i think about all the FUN times, travel, laughs your famous black beans u cook me o.O the birds/parrots aha ha truely LOVE & miss both of you!! you taught me how 2dance & choose perfume. and much more !! i will always Love u guys, & ms. cane; milagro. i will always have those precious memeories =) Bisous

My vital SIGNS will be strong i have soo MUCH to do B4 i leave this LIFE !

i truely will live my LIFE different once i leave this hospital & recover.

1) i have always been spiritual but i want to give more...create something where i will donate something for a good cause year a'round.

2) Take my Art/Design to the next level & actually do more of the shows...Vegas, New York, London, Los Angeles fashion week, Tokyo etc. BEING i never wanted to do the shows. And Have my photo taken.

REASON; Here's something you never knew .. I'M PAINFULLY SHY....... :P

you will see me LIVING...'HEY WORLD HERE I COME !!!!!!!!!!

stay tuned, Dirty Blonde Lolita, Nikita, Fariba, Farah my alters & me 'R emerging to create the ultimate good bad girl....Let's have FUN dress well & save the world together step by step.

[helping people that need healthcare & more seed money for research and cures is truely close to my heart @ this momment]

Can fashion save the world? no & yes, this is my trade/my work & some of the proceeds can help alot of people especailly families, children that need healthcare and other key issues. Every dollar counts just by helping "a" person(s) boys & girls can make a difference in the world! Life; cause and effect, think of the stacked dominos ; take one out they all fall down... sadly though not everyone has health ins. their are so many diseases that need research to find cures ... i've got to do something, something to help! no matter how small or large again every bit helps. that will be in the near future peeps.

Something with meaning/motivation while i lay here in bed...all alone.

Be well, Live Life, And LOVE one another ALwaYs,

farah XoXo

Are U what U eat ? Patrick Swayze RIP And Some of my Favorite things...

fashion for i have sinned, we are living in incredible X's both bad and good.

September 13 - 19

A.M. in the wee hours of the twilight

Note: during this time & month unlike the rest of the year people will compare, measure, and pass swift judgement upon others being in a consciousness of negativity.

"we need to take down the measuring stick & look inside rather than out."

Whenever i see any living being taken away by disease it pisses me off ! And then i remember to meditate 'cause i'm spiritual but it still hurts. especially when you have a compassion to LOVE all & be wise enough to do your best 2 never judge for that is negative space. everyone is w/out fault, not perfect ARE you because i am not that is why i am 4ever seeking how to Be...

Are U what U eat?

My grandmother ate healthy all of her life as her religion has an emphasis on diet, health and holistic understanding. no meat, no smoking, no liquor, strict diary laws. And a week before her 81st B'day she passsed away from pancreatic cancer. *suddenly tears start slowly tracing my checks* she's not the only one that shares this story from my research others that had such a healthy lifestyle and alot younger passed away from the C word.from this i learned their is no cure so when i heard about Mr. Swayze i prayed for the best.

I watched an interview today (a repeat taken from last year regarding his illness) where Ms. Walter's asked Mr. Swayze if he's still smoking he said yes. Alot of people as i recall were upset by his answer. Although he strongly states smoking is bad for the health.

Case study: my stubborn paternal great grandfather smoked a cigar everyday well into his 90's and passed of natural 'causes. Think of George Burns.

In a third world country i was told by medicine men that "one must eat meat to sustain or die weak and frail."

I don't eat meat not because i think it's bad for my health just simply 'cause;

1. seen to many chicken's koshered.

2. grew up forced not to eat meat, (although when told what to do u want to Rebel)

my father ate meat & my mother didn't

3. donot enjoy the taste of flesh nor blood (sorry that blows my chances of being a vampire although i am allergic to garlic)

4. And i don't enjoy eating anything that seems strange...

LAST but most important i totally don't digit and i LOVE Rabbit's ^.*.^

from what i've seen in my short but wise life..do what feels right & LOVE one another stop the maddness! don't compare yourself to other's and stop acting asif we are in high skool where all the popular kids pick on the kids that are new & Swift/sweet, also those that try to hard to fit in please give them abreak.

SIGNED, THE BREAKFAST CLUB XoXo

guess i'll go smoke a cigarette 'cause it won't really f&..matter.. (but not in my house as the smoke really blows) LOL

Oh, aLmost forgot, haha..some of my favorite things:

#1. People that are secure with themselves. everyone is beautiful, beauty radiates from within...(please stop bashing people 'cause you are not secure in your own skin, have a heart, everyONE has feelings. btw Lady Gaga's preformance of paparazzi was Brilliant ! )

#1a. Some X's cigs..when i'm driving ..

#2. Peace to All mankind. Let's Stop the Bulls*.t!

and aLways LOVE..

7/7/09

Hello all....................it's been awhile....so much has happened since i left the world and went into spiritual solitude @ hare krishna. to my shock when i left the temple last week, i heard on the radio about M.J. just as the thunderous heart wrenching news was unfolding!

yes, i am a crazed fan and bit of an eccentric person so i haven't been able to post here and really collect any thoughts....but i felt an overwhelming need to express how much i loved & still LOVE this talented, 'GENIUS" sweet awesome spirit of a man. On this day...

Update: I flew out to his childhood home last week Gary, Indiana and taken some pics that i'll show latter, much to tell but gotta go & watch the memorial.

G*d Bless to all,
