First Day Back

Today I went back to school, it was kind of a slow day because of the fact that during the break I would fall asleep late and sleep in. So I was really sleepy during my classes. It was great to see all of my friends again. I had missed them all so much. I was glad to be back and I had so much homework. Talk about overload the first day of school.

FAMILY VISIT

My mom's sister came to visit us today. My uncle was going to pick up my grandmother from the airport. I was kind of dreading there visit because it is so boring when they are here. The fact that my uncle is a control freak and that him and my aunt raised my cousins a certain way gets me mad. for one thing my cousins don't even speak Spanish and thats just sad, they have to fluent Spanish speaking parents and when they speak in Spanish it sounds very broken. Although they have visited Mexico, they don't know a lot about the culture or the cuisine. It is a pity to be a certian race and not know anything about that culture.

LAST DAY OF VACATION


Today is the last day of vacation and I plan on enjoying it no matter what. My little sister asked me if I could curl her hair and I think that she looks gorgeous. My family and I are going to the mall, and were awaiting my grandmothers return from New York. The break is now coming to a close and I have had a lot of fun. tomorrow we go back to school and I can't wait to see all of my friends again.

SHE'S BACK

After her three week vacation in New York, my grandmother is back. I really did miss her, though I didn't miss all of the arguments that some way or another we would get into. She is the only grandmother that I have left. When i saw my little sister crying because she missed her abuela, it reminded me of all the times that i had missed her and still do and I don't care if that sounds cheesy. I'm not afraid to say that i love my grandmother.

I went to eat at the place were my dad works and ate lunch. I had one carne asada taco and three tacos al pastor. They really good and I had a lot of fun while I was there. I was happy to see my friend Adrian again, I had seen him since August of last year. My dad was working hard as always.


XOXO

Chuck E Cheese

Yesterday I went to Chuck E Cheese. Well after going to church my dad informs me that we are going to take my little sister to Chuck E Cheese for Easter. I thought that it was so nice of him to inform me after church and not at home when he saw that i was wearing a skirt and boots. It was fun, I got to get my dad back when I took a picture of him playing a soccer game. My brother and I were just mess around with each other and having fun. I did see a cute looking guy while I was there though, so I guess that the day wasn't so bad after all.

















XOXO

I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Well I accomplished my goal of lent. I went 40 days without drinking soda. To some people that I know it may seem like nothing, but if you take some thing that you do it is really hard. I'm not just talking about food, there are people that give up TV, or one of their hobbies. A person that I know decided to give up gossip for the forty days. My brother didn't agree with my decision, he thought that I was only going to torture myself with this decision. I found it funny a couple of times when my mom or other family members would forget and offer my a soda. I would just laugh and remind them of my promise. I think that when you are involved with your faith you not only learn about your faith, but about yourself to. I have found that now that I have become more close with life and with my self . I have realized that it is time for me eyes to be open and I have been seeing things in a new light. Well next year I don't know what I'll give up for lent. I remember though that last year both me and my Uncle Agustin gave up soda and this year it was me and my cousin Clarissa.

It is....


Today is Easter and I plan on having a lot of fun today. It is one of my favorite holidays, after Christmas of course. It is a time for celebration because according to the bible it is the day that Christ rose from his grave after being dead for three days. One of my teacher told my that in Russia Christmas was Easter in the time of the Czar's. Those Fabergé eggs in the royal family are full of intricate designs and they were only given during easter. There is after all a misconception on what the easter bunny has to do with the resurrection of Christ. Well it all starts with the spring, which is the rebirth of the earth and everything that inhabits it. Spring also bring the end of hibernation for most some animals. Bunnies are animals that are mostly associated with spring, so they to represent rebirth. Well there are a lot of things to do today, I have to go to church.

Dad and Uncle

Yesterday was my Uncle José Birthday, he is one of the youngest sons my grandmother had and currently she is with him in New York. He has always been there for me when I needed help. For the first four years of my life he was my father. I used to call him dad until I was old enough to understand that he was my uncle. He still takes care of me. It really sucks that i don't get to see him anymore, but I talk to him on the phone all the time. I wish that I will be able to see him soon. hopefully my grandma takes some pictures of him, my aunt and my cousin during her stay with them.

Santo



Today is my brothers and my dads Santo. In some parts of Mexico people celebrate things called Santo's. This day is a celebration of a given saint, if there is a saint with your name than you celebrate your santo. Its kind of like a birthday you get. We went to go eat at Olive Garden, it was a lot of fun. I loved the Tiramisu dessert. My mom and my dad enjoyed themselves. It is right that great minds think alike because they both ordered the same things.

Today


Well its that day again. You all know what I'm talking about, its St. Patrick's day again. You know the day that you wake up to go to school or work only to pinch those that aren't wearing green. There are though a lot of misconception about St. Patty's day, so lets look into the day a little closer shall we. It is true that St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, but it is not just and Irish holiday. It is also a Catholic holiday, for you see St. Patrick's Day is not the only Saints Day celebrated. In Mexico there are plenty of saints days that are celebrated. Well enjoy today and pinch as many people as you can.

Rainy day

Today is the first official day of Spring break and it is already raining. Oh well what are you going to do about it. My and my little sister are going to watch movies all day long. Good thing I got to the post office before it started raining. I had to mail in a scholarship which I hope to get. Well I hope that it doesn't rain tomorrow because were taking my dad out to a family day and we want to enjoy ourselves. When it rains it pours and I think a day in is what I need.

Priscilla


My little cousin turned five on Wednesday. I love all of my little cousins and even though I haven't met her in person she is special to me. She is my sisters age, but since she lives in New York, we don't get to see her. My grandma left to go visit her and even though I miss my grandma I am happy that she got to spend my cousins birthday with her. I hope that they are enjoying themselves right now. To the right is her as a baby and I hope that my grandma brings back pictures of what my little cousin looks like now. I think that it is so cute when she tries to talk because she is really quiet and you can barely here her. I think that she is really shy. Though she loves vanilla cake and it suits her because they are both sweet. Like my little sister her favorite color is pink.

THE ZOO


Last Friday I went to the the Centro Cultural in Balboa Park and after that I went to the zoo. I had a lot of fun and it was interesting. There was a place that I discovered on this trip to the zoo. I had never seen the insect house that they had at the zoo. My friend Vero that is fascinated with snakes made us see all the snakes at the zoo. Her favorite is the Anaconda. I love to see the monkeys and the elephants, which I saw. I also got to see meerkats, lemurs, wild cats, mongoose and lots of ducks. I also saw a peacock, it was beautiful and it sacred me to. I now know that it is never a good idea to try to touch a peacock. Never get to close to a wild animal. I had fun and the little girl inside me was satisfied for a while. Now I have to wait for easter to be a little girl again.

My Homegurl


Well today has been full of surprises and of somethings that I expected to happen. Well my time day was a blast and one my friends was surprised when I guessed something about her that she hadn't told me. Well Eva was surprised but knowing her for as long as have, it is easy to figure out what she wants to tell me sometimes. She is not a friend, but my sister. I do try to look after her from time to time and she has been in my life for the longest of times. We met when we were in kindergarten and we have been through many things together. There have been good times and bad times, but have stuck together and are still great friend. We hold each other secrets and i know that we would never betray each other. She is a lovely person and friends like her aren't found everyday, which is why am glad to have such a great sis.
























XOXO

Betrayal

There comes a time in life in which we realize what people truly are. When the mask that has been placed upon us is finally lifted and we see the world clearly. I guess that for me that time has come and it is finally time for me to see things as they are and realize all that is going on around me. Betrayal is what finally opened my eyes and I'm glad that this occurred because I finally see all of the errors that I committed in the past. I can begin to live my life thinking about myself and try to make sure that I'm able to have all the fun that I want and I have been able to enjoy my life. I feel like the leach i had has finally been removed and that no more will I have to worry about someone that isn't worth my time. Because the number one thing that i hate is fake people, I make sure that the people i talk to now aren't fake. Life is full of surprises and there will be a time when what you did to someone will be done to you by someone else. With each new experience that I encounter I'm able to become stronger. Like they say that which doesn't kill me only makes me stronger. No longer will I be lied to or fooled by those who pretended to be my friends, it is time for me to show the world and those that betrayed me who I really am. Hope there ready to meet the real me.

Funny Life



So last week my my dad's older sister came to visit us and I had a lot fun talking to her, my uncle and my cousin. My aunt is really nice and she looks exactly like my grandmother. She is a nice kind women and I love her a lot. Right now she is living with her daughter(my cousin) in Las Vegas. There she gets to visit her granddaughters(my nieces). I hope that I will be able to see her soon. My cousin is a lot of fun and my brother and him really bonded. I think that it would be good for my little brother to have a male influence other than my dad. My brother view my cousin Pedro as an older brother, plus they can talk about cars for hours and never get bored.
