Food is becoming Limited!!!


I’m all out of milk, cheese, tomatoes, and eggs. I went to the store and it was impossible to get them. It was devastating to think that I will never eat and drink these products ever again. I was appalled because I have never experienced such horrible limitations. Food products today are becoming scarce due to the oil crises. Since oil is limited, transportation is no longer available for food. Although, I am still able to find some local food products it’s not as easy as it used to be. What am I suppose to do when food becomes scarce? Am I supposed to be growing my own crops for fresh produce? I must rely on locavores; I really need to find local areas where I can buy my produce so that I don’t have to rely on imported food. Maybe, I can start searching for a farmers market. If that’s an impossible solution, I can look for other solutions. I have heard about the new way of creating food, people are calling it "Frankenfood”. When fresh food is not within reach, you can always count on Frankenfood to have the job done. Frankenfood is simply a substitution for food. I really need a solution for my food supply soon before it’s too late.

The Cycle Of Life


Demand and Supply is when a person is willing to buy a product for a certain price. To understand this a bit clearer, I am going to break these words up. For instance demand is the measure of the amount of products in which are wanted or desired by customers and they that are willing and able to buy. This means the more expensive the product the less of a demand it will become. And Supply is the measure of the amount of how many products will be manufactured in order to be sold to the customer.

When I took the oil quiz, I was quite shocked of the results because I found out that I don’t necessarily know much, relating to oil. I would certainly like to know about oil while spreading awareness.

Trouble in Eyjafjallajoekull


It’s quite scary knowing one of your family member being stuck in a place where a volcano is ready to erupt. Even though many people are consciously awaiting for there flight, they are worried if they are going to come back home soon. The hazardous environment is affecting flights due to the tiny particles of rock, glass, and sand contained in the ash cloud from the still-erupting volcano that can potentially jam aircraft engines. Although, Eyjafjallajoekull is causing so much trouble in the UK and other several other European countries, it has not pose any significant risk to public health, but precaution is advised. Many of those that were planning to take a plane changed their minds, instead they took the train to go back home. This over exceeded the passenger range because of so many people were trying to take the same train at once. This has caused so much stress and time; just imagine if there was no petroleum left? Would there be any possible way of them going back home?

Not my Deodrant!!!!


When I thought Life couldn‘t get worse , it hit me once again! Not only was my sweater and lotions discontinued, so was my deodorant!. I am a person that cannot live without my deodorant: in order for me to smell the best that I can. I obviously don’t naturally smell like cherry blossom. My daily routine is being around people and meeting new people all the time and if I don’t smell good, it doesn’t give them a good impression. As the saying “the first impressions are often the truest”.

Petroleum strikes again!!

It happened…. Again!!! First, the lack of sweaters made it impossible, but now my lotion! This is getting out of control. The dryness is so unbearable. I simply need lotion to sooth my skin. My face, my hands, my shoulders, and everything else, it's simply uncomfortable and I am in need of lotion. For years, I have counted on lotion to help me through my day, but now every drop of lotion is gone.

A life Without My Sweater


Today in the morning, I woke up and had noticed my dog was too quite since he wakes me up in the morning. I wondered to the kitchen, living, restroom, and I was wondering where he would be. I finally found him ripping my favorite sweat-shirt. I was very upset and I didn’t think much of it since it’s just a sweater. That morning I went to my local store, but sadly there were no sweat-shirts. I was told by the salesman that he was all out and I would be lucky to even find. I desperately went to various large stores but they were also out of them. I was freezing cold, my body ached, and my hands were numb. I was thinking to myself how hard life will be without sweaters, I imagined if it affected me and probably numerous people are also facing the same crisis.
