Gorgeous Gambit

I don't usually double-post. But after seeing the last blog was a waste of a blog entry, i've taken one of Magali's usual entry styles. Here's a pic of the future Gambit for the upcoming X-Men movie. Isn't he hot?!

Too Late

As a few of you know, a person has tried to apologize for something that occurred since last year. She was expecting forgiveness and friendship in return. But in reality, i still believe she doesn't deserve it. She still doesn't obviously know what she's apologizing for. Her friend has told her countless times the reasons behind the incident, and she has pointed out her own negative actions that led her to the path she's taking. She recognizes it and really doesn't do anything about it, so that really is not anyone's problem. "L" told me i should've pointed out her flaws to show her exactly what she did. But since i'm no friend to a person like that, i wasn't going to. She shouldn't have to hear it from me, she should've listened to something that's been told to her from a TRUSTWORTHY friend. It probably might have taken effect if it came out of my mouth, but it just proves how much she really doesn't trust her current friend. Her only friend and she still didn't accept it. This wasn't the only time where this person messes up, and if its already a part of her life, then i don't want to be involved in it. I'm surprised the friend she's done harm to hasn't really done something about it..she's too free-spirited i guess. I would like to point out though that during her "apology" she said she would apologize to someone else as well. She hasn't and she's not going to. This is all just to get back a friend that she thinks she lost. Her intentions weren't to get peace between anyone at all. Once again she makes a desperate attempt to keep everything close to her by choosing malicious actions against others. Where's the honor in that? She even said that the person she did harm to would not have protected her either. That is complete bullshit. I understood and I explained it to her that even though they both never got the chance to get to know eachother better, my own current long-time friend would still save her stupidass. I've heard enough after that. I made it pretty clear that i was glad she recognized that something was wrong (except she didn't know why...dumbass) and that she should have a good life. If she expected for me to run back to her like nothing happened, she's wrong.

Never Ending Feast

Today was day 2 of a huge Thanksgiving feast from yesterday. I'm partially working on my essay (very little) but i guess it counts. Still have plenty of time...not really. My mom was the chef for the night as she roasted a huge turkey with stuffing in the oven. After that was a large piece of ham surrounded with pineapples. It got drenched in its own juices as well as the sweet fruity taste. My mommy also made side dishes. She made potato salad, rice, and extra stuffing. (i love stuffing! I guess that's why i'm getting as big as a turkey) My sister "made" dessert by making a fruit salad. It was pretty yummy. Its basically made out of marshmallows. coconut cream, canned fruit, coconut pieces, and raisins. My aunt brought the wine and a cherry pie. My uncle's wife brought us some fish stew (wtf?...they tried). Everything was delicious...and over stuffing. My mom took out the Christmas tree and my sister and i helped decorate it. We found alot of adorable ornaments in a box. There was cute mime that looked so sad. He was broken, and me and my sister tried to put him together. We did, only to find out that my mom threw him away. He looked more depressed than happy to be a happy holiday decoration..oh well.

Wake-Up

So far i've had 2 signs about Diabetes. Not on myself *knocks on wood*, but signs from around the world. My friend and I were talking about it once on how its hereditary effect might AFFECT our lives. The second warning was when i saw this episode of Scrubs where Turk gets diagnosed with Diabetes 2. Its....scary. I'm horrified. When i was younger, i had a kidney failure. This epidemic was like a trend back when i was in 4th grade. Girls who were mostly overweight and my age that would drink a lot of soda would get diagnosed with some kidney disease. Its as if you had to go potty really really really bad...only to feel about 3 drops drop in. The pain was intense...my own body had put me to sleep once...I remember my dad and my mom trying to get me to a hospital. They were trying to keep me awake..to keep me from closing my eyes. Its kinda blurry trying to remember that thing...but it did give me a freakin wake up call. I stopped drinking soda for 2 years straight. To this day i try to drink it moderately, only when i have no other option i would drink up. But never coke. Never dark drinks. My family has a history of diabetes, and i really don't want to end up in a situation where it got to me because i let myself. I want to try to stop it from ever happening. I want to prevent it from happening to me...even just making it come late. I would be happy knowing i've tried to do something about it even if it comes. But for now, this is just the start of a healthy journey that i had to have started a looong time ago. I'm starting my New Year's Resolution a little early. Better late than never =).

Wonderland's Mad Tea Party

Sooo lazy...i know i have homework...somewhere. I'll worry about that later, later. Since my doll and panda hat for my sister are on hold, i've been practicing crochet. My mom won't teach me knitting until i've mastered crochet. She might be worried i'll accidentally stab myself...lol. Its hard at the beginning...but eventually you pick it up. You just need alot of patience...after awhile you get bored, hungry, tired, or distracted. My sister went to the circus today with my parents. I was supposed to take my mom's place, but i really didn't want to go. My mom reluctantly went though (my parents have been awkward for awhile). They both came back more natural together. I need a job. A good job. My parents were talking to me about double majoring. If one doesn't work out, i would always bounce back up on the other. It doesnt sound so bad, but it does sound like alot of work. I should start thinking about my minor then lol. Another friend's had the same idea i think...become a teacher of the subject she's fond of. Ms. Hilaris has mentioned it before as well. Not bad...not bad at all =). Speaking of which, i know a few of you know that Jose wants us to gather together and have dinner with her. I sort of...don't want to go? Knowing that she got annoyed when he mentioned it to her, she responded with "wait until you get here so you can plan". Something like that. Bad sign that she really doesn't want to see Jose basically haha. Its so awkward though...what would we talk about once the basic hellos and how are yous are covered? We haven't really seen eachother for almost a year. Its going to be a table full of hypocrisy and twofacing. For one, and I say this now, I think Ms. Hilaris doesn't even like me. Ever since i've made that comment of what my brother's done to her, she's been kind of.."shunning"? me for the rest of the senior year. Jose only has friends when he wants to have friends...only when he needs people the most. Magali and I have stuck together for a very, very long time..so she's the only one on the table who will be true. Juan and maybe Yesenia would be neutral. I have no idea how she is now...or Ms. Hilaris. Juan isn't really much of a surprise to anyone. Maybe i just feel nervous? No, that's not it. I don't really know how i feel about this, but i do know that i don't really want to go. I don't really feel comfortable with that scenery in my head. I'd rather be going through another job interview than go to that dinner. If it were something like the Mad Hatter's Party, i wouldn't decline whatsoever! So much fun, so much tea, and the cute little mouse who sings himself lullabies to sleep. Let's not forget his best friend the Mad Hare! I bet they all could keep a strong conversation which would never end.Ever since i've heard Tim Burton's making the Alice in Wonderland book into a movie, i was thinking WTF!? wow....its awesome. Truly awesome. Here's a pic of Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter.Some people like it, others criticize it...but i really adore it <3.

Dir en Grey 2008

I have never met a real celebrity, let alone a rockstar. Dir en Grey were the last people on my mind that i would ever come as close as encountering. But as i've told "L" before, and i'll keep rubbing it to her face for as long as she lives "Anything is possible. Nothing is impossible" (one of those two, but they both have the similar meaning) I've lived in Chicago all my life, and i finally got to step in and actually be in the House of Blues. On the way over there we saw a really long line just waiting to see Dir en Grey. It went around the corner, so "L" decided to walk past them and go straight around the front. Faces turned as we passed them filled with confused and annoyed looks. I guess they were waiting for when we'll try to butt in. A security guard was outside the building, so we asked to go inside and he let us through. The building looked fantastic. Its so old-school and gorgeous, they still had some memorabilia and of course the gift shop. Security was extremely tight, and the closer the time came for the show to start, the more nervous "L" and I would get. We found the other winners as well. One guy came from Indiana and the other one was a girl who came from Kansas City. People actually came at 5AM from around the Midwest to stay in line. Security wouldn't let them though...lol. The time finally came when people were being let in. We climbed up the stairs and waited by the mixing booth.(as shown) It was pretty dark, so yeah...bad pics. We waited...and we waited...and waited...time passed by soo slowly. "L" was already getting annoyed by the Indiana guy. He seemed very conceided..at last a man called us over to meet them. We were bunching up, excited yet nervous at the same time. We walked inside what seemed a white supply room (they wouldn't let us go up to their dressing room unless all of us were 21..wonder why) and waited...IMPATIENTLY. At that point, nobody really talked, everyone focused at the door where THEY would come out. Then finally...like models, each one of the strolled out casually. First Kyoru, then Die, then Toshiya, and last was Shinya. The world froze for about 30 seconds, with everyone just staring across to one another. That was until people began to snap out of it and move to greet them. Their manager? instantly said that we could "get autographs, take pictures, and later we'll have a group picture". Everyone took it as "You have 30 seconds to get what you need, so hurry". People were scrambling to get to talk and get things signed from each of them. Die was the one who was laughing at my DeathNote since he right away recognized it. He showed it to Shinya who also smiled at my attempt to ki..i mean get their signatures. "L" took random pics of them without their notice, which pretty much made them keep their guard up. She took pics with them, and so did I. It was amazing..the experience was soo nerve wrecking, i felt like it was Black Friday where people would fight for what they wanted after the holidays. "L" was the only one who asked Die where the lead singer Kyo was located and unfortunately responded that he was still sleeping. After that, we gathered around to take one last group pic and off we went to see them perform live (more like got kicked out of the room..the owner was counting heads to check that nobody tried to sneak up or hide to go to their room with them). We found Brandon and his friend who were located almost in the middle of the crowd, and met up with them. Then the show began with the opening band called "The Human Abstract" (LOL!!!) They weren't that impressive...except for the guy with really long dreadlocks. When he headbanged, it looked so awesome in the light. So then Dir En Grey showed up, and hell broke loose. People were moshing, screaming, headbanging, jumping, and just plain out having fun. The night was endless...and there couldn't be a better day to celebrate it after my birthday.

Fabulous, Exciting, Wonderful, Freakin Happy Birthday...TO ME!

It was the sunniest day so far in the month.To me it was. I've turned 20. I kept recounting the candles on my cheesecake (i didn't want a regular cake) and i kept miscounting. 20 candles are a lot of years. "L" made me a birthday cake as well. (it was yummy! chocolate with white frosting! Thank you!((Love the sprinkles))) I got money mostly as presents, and started buying my own. I got a pair of earrings, a blouse, a chaleco*? a super cute Ugly Doll from the Comic Book Store, and a hackey sack. I've always wanted one of those. Its so cool <3. It pretty much was a happy day for me. Every night on the 17th, i stay up late until my birth time:2:31 AM. While time passes by, i reflect on the things i've accomplished during my previous year. The good, the sad, the right and wrong. My life. On the exact time however, i make a wish. I know its usually customary that i do it when the candles blow out, but i think in my own little head that the wish would create a bigger impact if i do it exactly when my mommy pushed lol. Hector calls it "Happy one day closer to death". Hector must see the glass half empty constantly. So what if were gonna die? we still have a life where opportunities are given to us, and we are free to do as we please. What we do in our lives is what matters the most. Sure we may take wrong paths and make bad choices, but there's always a magical fairy that would guide us...a cute fairy...Tinkerbell =D. Or a ghost...a funny-looking ghost..a Mario ghost o_o. Our own intuition would set us back on the right track. We can't mourn and cry about it all day like a Hector. I wonder what my 20th year will bring in...
