It. Was. AWSOME!!!
All Nighter
The other day I had this crazy idea when I saw this commercial on the TV. They where giving a back to back marathon of one of my favorite movies. All three films where going to play ad-free throughout the entire night. So I went up to my cousin and asked if we could bunk at his house to watch it, since he was a major fan as well.
So there we sat at 10 pm, on an airbed in the middle of a cramped room filled with seven people and a shy cat with popcorn, candy and chips flying everywhere as we began to watch the Lord Of The Rings triology.
All I remeber was the movie ending at 8 am and finally falling over, my head hitting the pillow for a few minutes before I had to go to work.
With the exeption of the slightley fuzzy thinking and black circles under my eyes it was SO worth it!!

Change
People have been telling me for months that I needed to cut my hair. The truth is I know I needed it. It was really damaged with tons of split ends. But then again my hair is naturally and stubbornly curly. So after alot of scolding my mom finally convinced me to go to the salon. However I gave my mom an ultimatum. If I went to the salon I'd cut it but I'd also straighten my hair. She grudgidly agreed because she loves my curly hair yet I always loved straight hair. Thing is I never tried it before and didn't know how I would look...
Turns out... I look sexy
Ice Skating
"Keep your knees slightly bended..."
"And try to lean forward..."
"Not so much!!"
"Keep you feet slightly apart..."
"And a little pointed outward to give you a boost."
"Give one soft push and let it glide..."
"See...push, push, glide..."
"Don't worry if you fall..."
"And whatever you do skate, DON'T WALK!!"
"And try to lean forward..."

Easy for them to say whan they're bombarding me with so many rules!!
New York
Although I've been living in the states for more then a year I had yet to visit the Big Apple. The idea always scared me: the chaos of cars, the sea of people, the towering buildings... the idea was far from real. To me it was like a world in a world that I was glad of watching from afar.
The other day, however, my cousins kidnapped me and my sister on a roadtrip to NYC. They took us to times square where we saw a man propose to his girlfriend with Elmo from Sesame Street as a witness, went to the rockefeller where we acted like fools and watched the iceskaters, circled around ground zero and admired the future building that will be risen in its place alongside the memorial ground. We had dinner on Mars 2112 and gazed at the statue of liberty from afar. As I was walking around surrounded by the cold night breeze, police sirens, taxi's honks, bycicle bells, fast food greases, hotdog steams, people shouting...I felt like a legal Alien. XD

Target practice
Yesterday my cousins taugh me how to use a shotgun and a handgun. My ears where ringing at the end of the day and my shoulder was slightley bruised from the recoil but, with the exclusion of my poor aiming, it was....Awsome!!
Shogi & Go
The other day I had this insane yet intresting idea to learn how to play Japanese board games. I had always been fascinated by them. So I spent the entire day learning the rules to two very famous board games: Shogi and Go.
And here I though chess was hard!
Tales untold...
Its curious how the sequence of events in life are tied with fickly irony. After reading the triologies from my favorite author Brent Weeks I thought no book could be as good as his, for when you read what already is a masterpiece everything would pale in comparision. However reading these stories I soon realize that it may not always be the case. Even though Cinda Williams Chima will never be as good as Brent Weeks she's definitely my second favorite author by a handslide. A praise to her Seven Realms Novel: The Demon King, The Exiled Queen, and The Grey Wolf Throne.
Real Steel
HELL YA!!!! Kick his ass!!! GO ATOM!!!!! REAL STEEL!!!!!!!
Got me off my seat the entire time....
Awsome movie!!!
Got me off my seat the entire time....

Blackjack
The other night they taught me how to play blackjack: rules, chips and all....
Where's the nearest casino? I just became a sinafile! XD
Unexpected Visitor
An unexpected visitor has stubbornly prisisted on staying right beside my bedroom window. I just hope that my new neighbor isn't setting up a permenant residence. Although I'm fascinated by his company I'm still a little fearful of his kind.

Hurricane Irene
Not even a week has passed since the first natural disater struck and now another one is headed our way. Supermarkets have run out of water and dairy products, electronic stores have run out of flashlights and batteries. Everyone is running around hectic as they cram their cars into their driveways and board up their windows and doors.
First an earthquake now a hurricane...
...what next?
Earthquake
Never before had I experienced an earthquake. It wasn't as big as the one in Japan, not even close but scary nonetheless. The entire building was shaking, the cars outside trembling and beeping as the alarms went off. I looked at my co-worker and she glanced back at me wide eyed. We turn back and glance at our boss who had the same face we did.
"Was that an earthquake?" I asked
"I think it was!" My boss said.
"I wish I was on facebook so I could tell my friends! OMG!" said my co-worker.

Really...?!
Camping
"So did you like it? Are you glad you came with us?"
My sister whispered next to me as we drove a three hour trip back home through the rain. I beamed widly at her recalling the moments we spent at the camp site: the warm refreashing sun, the calm lake just a few feet away, pitching up the gaint tents, siting by the campfire surrounded by tiki torches, going horseback riding on a stubborn horse called Timmy, relaxing on the hammock, watching the fireworks over the water, playing monopoly and actually finishing the game, going cannoing and getting splashed all the time...
"Yeah. I loved it!"

The Sad Farewell
As I think back I can still see it. I can still remember my wide eyes gazing in amazement and wonder at the pictures on the huge wide screen in that musty cramped theater. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone had been the first movie I had ever seen in cinema. My love for the stories came far before, the printed words once sprung from the ink that lulled me to sleep everynight, the pages falling out like autum leaves from the battered spine that had been layed open to many times. It had also been my first book ever, the first book that helped me slowly progress to my love for reading, the book that taught me what it meant to imagine...
Eight years later and I sat on a similar chair in a simliar musty cramped theater, my eyes still glued on the big screen like the very first time they did while the pictures danced before me, my heart pounding heavily. Many laughed when Hermione used the pollyjuice potion to transform into Bellatrix, many fan girls whistled when Harry and Ron began to take their cloths off, everyone stopped breathing when Voldemort killed Harry and everyone clapped when Bellatrix died and Neville beheaded the damn snake. Then slowly, as the movie came to an end and the end credit crawled into view, I couldn't help but feel sad. Extactic still with the events of the movie but at the same sad that it had finally ended. Like an emptyness vaguely filled with satisfaction.
The movie was incredible. The side effects, the war, all the caracters (except a few), everything was just as I expected and much more. Maybe it was because it was dead on what I imagined it to be that made me feel even sadder. All the way home I bragged with my sister, reliving the scenes once more yet when we arrived at our house and all through dinner we sat in silence, paying a silent tribute to the endings of one of the greatest stories of our time.

Optical Illusion
I was walking home, groceries in hand while my sister chatted lively beside me. As my eyes scan the horizon I spotted the familiar river that flowed through my town. The trees far away and the water glittering gently in the afternoon sun. How long it had been since I'd seen that river...Wait! What?! I glanced around, the resturant signs taunting me, their english words blazing in all colors. I gazed back at the river. There wasn't supposed to be river here! This was the typical urban american town! My mind flashed through memories of what was meant to be there: a supermarket parking lot. Yet the water still shimmered under the warm sun, the trees small specks on the other coast. I tapped my sister, my eyes still locked with the magical sight.
"Hey, since when do we have a river here?" Through the corner of my eyes I saw her gaze at me sceptically. Was it only me who saw it?
"What are you talking about?"
"Right there! Right ahead! Don't you see the coast line and the water? Right in front of you!" Squinting really hard she tilted her head until her eyes widened.
"No way! It looks just like the river back home!"
"What the hell is going on?" I ran further ahead untill I caught sight of the huge metalic truck head, the cargo trailer giving the ilusion of water while the large trees from the parking lot stood poking timidly from behind.
"And there goes the river..." My sister added ironicly as the truck took off down the concrete street.

"My Jolly Sailor Bold"
Lyrics:
My heart is pierced by Cupid;
I disdain all glittering gold.
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold.
My heart is pierced by Cupid;
I disdain all glittering gold.
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold.
Come all ye pretty fair maids
Whoever ye may be
Who love a jolly sailor bold
That plows the raging sea.
My heart is pierced by Cupid;
I disdain all glittering gold.
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold.
Diner
My mom pulled the car into the driveway, the bright red lights beaming overhead. I gazed at it sceptically yet my mom was radiant.
"I haven't been here in years!"
As soon as I stepped through the doors my mouth dropped. Years indeed. The place seemed it had been untouched by time, still stuck in the 1960's. The jukeboxes lined along the tables, the bar stools so tall you had to jump to get on, the pac-man back to back with the pinball machine. We sat there laughing for hours, my mom telling us stories from the past, my stomach so full I couldn't even move. A sudden thought came to me as I looked around.
"So this is what it's like to be in Supernatural. Pity Sam and Dean Winchester couldn't be here." My sister laughed so hard while we imagined how they would react if they were actually there. Finally rolling out the door we got back to our car. I don't know if it was coincidence or some ironic fate but just when my mom turned on the ignition the radio sprung to life, the song Eye of the Tiger by Survivor playing on full blast. All I remember is singing along with the song while we all recalled Dean's memorable dance. (We even mimcked some parts. My lungs and ribs were hurting so much that day XD ).

Goodbye
I'm sorry. I'm sorry I wasn't there. I'm sorry I couldn't say goodbye. But even though I'm far away my tears will fall for you, wherever it is you are and I hope, even though it may already be too late, that one day you'll find it in your heart to forgive what I've done...what we've done. May the angels guide you to a better place into the arms of those you love.
Rest in peace.

Insane delusion
Someone shut up that infernal song! I pulled my head under my pillow but the melody continued. Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!! I pushed the ends of the pillow up against my ears and still it followed. I'm gonna kill it! Today is the day I'm gonna kill that damn thing!
Growling I stumbled out of bed and sleepily made my way up the stairs towards the kitchen. My mom was there, watching her afternoon shows.
"Oh, well good-morning, sleeping beauty. Or rather good afternoon. You woke up just in time for lun-" She stopped suddenly as she watched me walk towards the countertop and snatch a butcher knife from the drawer. "What are you going to do with that?"
"I'm going to kill that damn Ice cream truck."

Deadman Wonderland
Lyrics:
Slit the throat off reason and reality
Cut myself and scream for their insanity
Wake up to this nightmare that will never end
Main attraction of this twisted master plan
Cut myself and scream for their insanity
Wake up to this nightmare that will never end
Main attraction of this twisted master plan
I will be your deadman
With nothing but this blood on my hands
Stuck in your "Wonderland"
I wanna make you bleed just like me..
So make me your deadman
With only poison in my veins
Stuck in your "Wonderland"
Stagnated by the passivity
I'm gonna make you bleed like me!
"One Reason"

A tale well told...
I've read thousands of books throughout my life. They are my passion, my obsession, my most precious friends. To me books are like thousands of unexplored worlds, their inky pages waiting for me to join them in their unknown adventures. I love to stay up late enchanted by their midnight lullabies. So many have passed through my hands, tales for children, for teens and, as I kept growing, a curiosity for those of young adults. Many authors sang to me, many tried to bound me with their spells but never had one fascinated me. They were like symphonies played by various grand masters one can only help but appreciate. However there was none that captivated me. None I can call a master among masters...until now.
A few months ago, I stepped into a library absentmindedly when a small book caught my attention, hidden in the bottom corner of a huge bookshelf. It was a pocket size white book with an amazing yet simple cover. An quite ordinary book in itself. However as I flipped it around, the words on the back caught me at once. The web of tales sprang to life before my eyes. Unable to contain it, I found myself buying all three books of the trilogy. As I read them, the black words humming like a spell, I knew I had found it. A book worth reading. A book worth admiring. It was unlike any other I've read so far and therefore I can't help but feel compelled to give such author the praise he rightful deserves.
After reading all three I felt the urge to see more of his work, to know what other tales he had to tell. Making a quick visit to Barnes and Nobles I found just one other book from the same author. Like his previous novels, his words sang to me without any hesitation or effort. It was like a whole new world, something refreshingly new and original...

Paranormal
Such a word has invoked much questioning as to whether the supernatural truly exists and, if so, why its comprehension lays outside the rational understanding and knowledge from that of our kind. Many a time we find ourselves, even if just once in our lives, wondering if such a concept is true. As all in this world we stand divided, in one form of another, not by reason but by our belief. Yet throughout the years hypocrites and cowards hid behind such faith in empty hope, which clouded their vision and defined their boundaries. To fully understand yourself it isn't enough to merely understand what you are but what also you are not.
So the question I ask is thus: If you are one who accepts the paranormal, do you believe because you truly admit its existence or do you believe because you wish it to be so? And for all the non-believers, do you disclaim such "unreal" notions because you only accept what humanity's scientific facts can prove or because you're too afraid to admit that it may be true?
Restricted minds bring forth controversy. Only those willing to surpass normal reason can see the unmistakable truth. Yet dare to see too much and you will become bound once again...to your own insanity.

Dragon Age 2
Lyrics:
Fight for your values and fight for your friends
Fight through this blight find the light at the end
Through the age of the Dragon the people will talk
Of the day they were saved by a hero
Named Hawke
Fight for your values and fight for your friends
Fight through this blight find the light at the end
Through the age of the Dragon the people will talk
Of the day they were saved by a hero
Named Hawke
Come take a seat and I will recite you a tale
Of bold adventure spanning both sides of the veil
I knew a champion, we travelled far and wide
We saw so many wonders roving side by side
Of bold adventure spanning both sides of the veil
I knew a champion, we travelled far and wide
We saw so many wonders roving side by side
In the streets of Kirkwall we brought help to those in need
Word it spread so quickly of our dealings and our deeds
Word it spread so quickly of our dealings and our deeds
Fight for your values and fight for your friends
Fight through this blight find the light at the end
Through the age of the Dragon the people will talk
Of the day they were saved by a hero
Named Hawke
Fight through this blight find the light at the end
Through the age of the Dragon the people will talk
Of the day they were saved by a hero
Named Hawke
Into the deepest roads we ventured in the black
If we had only known what we were bringing back
We felt the fire of every Templar, every Mage
Caught in the crossfire of their politics and rage
If we had only known what we were bringing back
We felt the fire of every Templar, every Mage
Caught in the crossfire of their politics and rage
Had to pull some strings and get them off eachother's backs
There was a much greater danger waiting to attack
There was a much greater danger waiting to attack
Fight for your values and fight for your friends
Fight through this blight find the light at the end
Through the age of the Dragon the people will talk
Of the day they were saved by a hero
Named Hawke
Fight through this blight find the light at the end
Through the age of the Dragon the people will talk
Of the day they were saved by a hero
Named Hawke
Just a lowly refugee, your champion arrived
Brown shores of Ferelden fade to Kirkwall's buzzing hive
Rose above the poverty and rose above the pain
My friend became the saviour of the white city of chains
Brown shores of Ferelden fade to Kirkwall's buzzing hive
Rose above the poverty and rose above the pain
My friend became the saviour of the white city of chains
Fight for your values and fight for your friends
Fight through this blight find the light at the end

On the bus
I couldn't even believe it!! Anger flushed my face as I scowled under my breath all the way to school. What nerve! Here I am boarding the bus with my sister on our way to classes when all of a sudden this middle-aged man with dirty baggy clothes comes all the way from the back of the bus to sit a few seats beside us and out of no where grabbed his phone and takes our picture! He actually lifted the phone towards us and took a picture of me and my sister! What the HELL?! If I didn't have a self-esteem level below zero I would have gone straight to him and brake his phone. Yet in the end he left, several stops before us and neither of us did anything. From what my sister told me it wasn't the first time he came toward us on the bus. For a few days now he's been sitting behind us or watching us from the end of the bus. So as of today we both catch the earlier bus. I'm so sick and tired of being stalked by men old enough to be my father or grand father for that matter!
What would you do if someone creepy took you picture?
Koko ni iru yo!
I have been in the anime world for almost 4 years now and I was introduced into the manga world in less then 2. Ever since then I've been discovering new worlds unlike any I've ever seen. However the other day I stumbled upon this manga. As soon as I read the summary this book hit me right away. I had always thought that even the manga that portrayed school life or drama was still just fiction. However after reading this one I realized that it wasn't quite true. In this book I found a character that in so many ways resembles myself. Seeing her in this imaginary world I was afraid that one day I'll be just like the character Sumino-san was in the beginning: invisible and alone, having only a blog to express her feelings. I just hope I get to step out into the sun and away from the shadows as she did accompanied by such fantastic friends. Maybe I just need to try harder and become stronger, some valuable advice from another important character. ^.^

A new type of classmates...
I finally got accepted into college.
On my first day I was beyond nervous! My sister stood beside me as we were waiting for the bus in the winter cold and you could tell that she was scared too. We climbed onboard the 25 and fifteen minutes later arrived at the huge campus. Being there several times before, it was relatively easy to find our way to class yet since we were having different lessons we were forced to split ways. I climbed the stairs on automatic mode, my mind imagining who my classmates would be. Room 4010 began to near, the wooden door just inches away. I glanced at my watch, 5 minutes late...Fantistic...
Closing my eyes, a sudden rush of courage running through me I turned the knob and stepped inside.
My first instict was to look around. I noticed my teacher: a short technophobic russian woman with a perma-frown ( and for those who don't know the expression it means a permanent frown). Then I realized something else, I was the only white person in the class. No offense, I'm not racist or anything of the sort but I kinda felt out of place among the thirteen others that were there, with the exception of the teacher. I signed the presence sheet and quickly made my way to a vacant table near the back.
Time passed and yet more people kept coming in. To my relief four more "white" girls came in, along with another couple of dark skinned students. I looked around again and almost laughed. My class seemed something out of the united nations commity meeting. All sorts of nacionalities were in this small cubical: mexican, cubans, jamiacans, african-american, spanish, portuguese, brasilians, and even egyptians.
Time passed when suddenly the teacher gazed at the clock that hung at the back of the class and gave us a five minute break. As if on cue, everyone rumaged through their coats and pockets to get their phones. I couldn't believe what I was seeing! Of the entire twenty-four people in my class everyone was ticking away on their phone. The misplaced feeling returned as I scribbled lines on an empty page of my book to pass the time.

It is a bit different then my old school and my old classes
but it's a new experience and a new stage of my life.
but it's a new experience and a new stage of my life.
Mental Contradiction
Why is it that I don't believe in God and inner-spirits and the afterlife and yet I believe, with a blind burning passion, naive, yes, but still incredibly true, in an alternate universe and magical abilities and other creatures and beings?
Why is it that I believe in magic and not in faith?
Just another wierd day...
Today as I woke up I had a moment of enlightment insanity (I seem to be having a little too many of these moments). Sleepyheaded, I walked to the bathroom and rumaged through the drawers until I found that small dusty blood red vial. Grabbing my mp3 I put the music on high and began - to paint my nails!
I still don't know what got into me, even my mom and sis looked at me like I was possessed. But I have to say they don't look that bad, even though it was my first time painting them, they just make me more self-consciousness of my hands.

What can I say
I loved this song the moment I heard it. His voice is amazing! However I warn you before hand, those who don't like screaming just read the lyrics of the song. For the curious ones just skip the screaming part, and for those who like heavy rock you're gonna love this band!!
Lyrics:
I try to be all that you need
Try not ever let you down
still I can see it in your eyes
Not good enough
This time I believed that I really could change
I gave it all
This time I really gave my everything.
I guess I was wrong
I guess I was wrong
What can I say, What can I do
This is who I am and I am hurting you
What can I say, what can I do
No matter how strong my feelings are
I always end up hurting you
I always end up hurting you
I'm hurting you
I try hard only to be here
You always wanted in life
Still I just bring you misery
What did I do
This time I believed in you were mine
When I gave it all
This time I can see it all perfectly,
I guess I was wrong
I guess I was wrong
What can I say, what can I do
This is who I am and I am hurting you
What can I say, what can I do
No matter how strong my feelings are
I always end up hurting you
I always end up hurting you
Without you I keep crying
With you I am just hurting you
Without you I am dying
With you I am tearing your heart
Without you I am crying
Without you I am dying
What can I say, What can I do
This is who I am and I'm hurting you
What can I say, what can I do
No matter how strong my feelings are
I always end up hurting you
I always end up hurting you
I always end up hurting you
I'm hurting you
"What can I say"

Sagittarius are very likeable people. The only people that might not get along with them are people that live by a daily agenda with a highly structured, organized life.

Sagittarius have problems finishing some projects they started if it takes too long.
