FRiiEnDz (DrAmA wEEkEnd), ReLaTiOnSHiPz, ScHOOL, && MeN

So, today... is Sunday. The most boring day of the week. Well, I didn't go out partying this weekend. Sucks, I know. I actually spent time with my family. It was cool. I don't see them very often && I had a really good time just chillin' with everyone. Especially my aunt, Karla.

First Rant: "Friends"

I consider myself a VERY lucky girl. I have the GREATEST friends in the world. Seriously. I do. My best friends are BOMB. They're always there for me && vice versa. Anyways, at the moment, MANY of my best friends are going through their little dramas. This weekend is the weekend I will label, "DRAMA WEEKEND". It seriously was. From breakups to makeups. From fight to fight. DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA. All I'm trying to say is that even the BEST girls go through DRAMAs.

Every girl goes through that time of her life that is just pure DRAMA.

Second Rant: "Relationships"

Drama (<--I'm beginning to like that word. lol.). I would just like say that every relationship is going to have its share of problems. It is not worth ending it because of a STUPID MISUNDERSTANDING. But things happen. We all make mistakes. Of course, there are gonna be times when it seems like a relationship is not even worth it. But, if you're like me, when you get that one moment... that one moment that you feel like being with him/her is REALLY worth the drama, problems, && obstacles that you've gone through... that, all in all (drama, fights, arguments, etc), is the best feeling you can get out of a relationship.. you know that deep down inside, your relationship with him/her IS really worth it. I don't know if that makes sense to anyone. But whatevers. LoL.

Next rant! LoL.

Third Rant: "School"

Wow... school. UGH! LoL. I really like school. Sometimes, lol. Right now, school is starting to get demanding again. I have homework for French... EVERYDAY. I have a 4 page paper due this Wednesday for Creative Writing. I have a Quiz && homework due this week coming up for Geography && for Geography Lab. UGH. I'm okay though. I'm still struggeling to buy my books && stuff. My family isn't doing well financially. So I don't know how I'm going to do it. We'll see what happens. I hung out with my family this weekend && I got to hang out with my mom's little sister, Karla. She's only 8 years older than me. She's currently a Pathology Assistant && Laboratory Director. She's a mother of 3, she works, && she's still going to school. She's my role model. She told me yesterday, while we on our way for her to do her taxes, that "School is the best investment one can make." Hopefully one day I can be like her. Have her success.

So: STAY IN SCHOOL! :)

Fourth Rant: "Men"

They are so COMPLiiCATED!!!

Enough said.

Peace.

Barack Obama (The FiRST African American President of the United States of America)

Barack Obama

The 44th President of the United States of America.

Today,

January 20th, 2009,

is one of the GREATEST HiSTORiC EVENTS in American HiSTORY.

For the first time, an African American is President of the United States of America. Being part of a historic movement like this one is an HONOR. I woke up today with EXCITEMENT rushing through my body. After 8 LONG years, we have a NEW President. A NEW LEADER! I hurried to school to see if I could catch the news && to see Obama go through the Ceremony. The moment I got to school, I hurried to my class. On my way to class, I entered through one of our many buildings at my school, so I could cut through && reach my class faster. As I rush in, I see the building packed. Even though this building (Cesar Chavez Building) is always packed with students, today was even more full. As I looked around, I saw that everyone had stopped what they were doing && were looking at the wide screen T.V. on the wall to my right. I could see men playing instruments. I knew that the Ceremony was about to take place. So, moving as fast as I could through the crowd surrounding the T.V., I exited the Cesar Chavez building on the opposite side of where I had come in from.

Practically running across the campus, I made it to my French class. I quietly enter the classroom && found a seat at the back. The room was silent. All eyes were focused on the screen at the front of the class. A woman was at the podium. She introduced the 44th President of the United States: Barack Hussein Obama. As of 12:O5 P.M., Barack is no longer, Senator Obama. He is now, President Obama.

I am here today, expressing the happiness, excitement, && inspiration I feel rushing through my body, to encourage every American to embrace our new President. He will lead us into a future of hope. It will be a HARD && DIFFICULT journey. But a journey we shall take together as the GREATEST Nation in the world.

My congrats goes to the Obamas && Bidens.

Welcome to the White House, President Obama.

Hello again.


I know I haven't updated in a while, but I've been kind of busy lately. I started school today. Right now, I'm in the library at my school. I had orientation for gym at 7. I just dropped off my best friend, Griselle, at her Photography class. I don't have class until 9, so I have a good 45 minutes of "juicy" time. I have French at 9, Geography at 10, && Creative Writing at 12. School might be a drag to some, but to me, I find it very entertaining. Especially if my professor's are funny. Hopefully they are.


Anyways, I just wanted to check in && blog, since I haven't been on here for a couple of days. Besides school, the only thing I have going on is hanging out with friends && preparing to move houses. I currently live in an apartment in Imperial Beach(Nestor) with my family. We'll be moving just down the block into a Condo. I still have to share rooms with my lil sister, but all we can afford is a 3 bedroom.


I am extremely excited for the HISTORIC event that will take place January 20th, 2009. America will have it's first African American President. Can you believe it? I never thought I would live to see the day an African American become the President of the United States. I am so thankful that I was born 1989. I will be able to tell my children, grandchildren, great grandchildren that I voted for the first Black President. Wow.


I know this is a very long blog, so bare with me. But I would like to rant on one more thing before I leave you until the next blog. My rant is about ---> Teenage Pregnancy. Sad to say, but I know more teenage mom's or mom's to be than I do educated women. Of course, people make mistakes && girls get pregnant. And as an Aunt to a 2 year old boy && a 3 month old girl (their mom's were teenagers when they were pregnant), sometimes a baby is what it takes to change someone. Don't get me wrong, you don't need to have a baby to change. But I consider a baby, a "blessing" from God. My cousin, Angie, is currently 3 months pregnant. She's 22. I've never seen her this happy. I'm not saying she was a rebel during her teenage years, but she did have her share of rule breaking. Up until a few months ago, drinking had become a casual thing for her. Angie is my world. She's my best friend. She's funny, loyal, beautiful, caring, understanding, she's everything to me. But I do admit that her drinking was a bother to many in our family. Don't get me wrong, she wasn't an alcoholic or anything. She would just drink 3 or so days of the week. My grandma would always pray for Angie. Until one day, Angie called me && told me she was pregnant. Shock of my life. But, she's changed for the better. No longer does she drink. She hardly goes out anymore. She's become responsible. She's even going back to school to get her high school diploma (she dropped out junior year).


But of course, there are the pregnant teen girls that have no idea about what being a mother is. And sometimes it's not their fault. Their parents are sometimes at blame. I know someone, I won't say who, that might be pregnant. She's only 16! I love her to death. But I don't blame her for the pregnancy. I blame her parents; who have domestic violence in their records. The reason for my rant is because I would like to get this message across to teenage girls. Having sex at a young age is risky. Not only can you get pregnant, you can get an STD. So, if you're sexually active. Please. Use protection. If you find out your pregnant and you know your parents will "kill" you, theres hotlines you can call && they'll help you deal with the most of your problems.

If you need help dealing with your unwanted pregnancy, get help. You can call the following number. It's FREE && CONFIDENTIAL.

1-866-942-6466

American Pregnancy Helpline

Well, I must be off now. I have class in a little bit && I have to go find it.


Hopefully my words made sense to someone. =)

Ever since I can remember, a pen has been my best friend. Some may call me crazy, but I always carry a pen with me. I've never considered myself a "great" writer. And I don't think I ever will. But I've been admired by many. From teachers to family members, I've been encouraged to major in English. I never really considered a career in writing, but I guess you can say that maybe all that positive feedback from others has changed my mind. By starting this blog, I can see what others think of my words. This blog is kind of my little secret. No one knows about this blog. I have not told any of my friends or family members about this. I want to see what I get from people that don't know me personally. In my opinion, Criticism is never bad. There's only good criticism in my world. I'd rather be corrected than to keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again.

Anyways, I've written my share of short stories. But it's all been fan fiction. I wrote this one fan fiction that was quite popular online. I don't exactly remember the site, but it's been years since I updated. I finished the story, but I didn't finish posting up the rest of the story online. I have several unfinished stories lying around here in my room. I just have to find them. No one, besides my noisy 15 year old sister, has read them. I mean none of my family or friends know that I write. Hopefully one day, I'll post some up on here. I wrote a poem a few years ago as well. It was dedicated to my cousin, Cesar, who passed away a few years ago due to food poisoning. When I have the courage and bravery to share my words with you guys, I will. Thanks for hearing me.

New blogger here… I have an account somewhere else; where I also blog. But, I decided to change & start something new. So, here I am. Hope my blogs can bring a smile to someone's face. Regardless if it's for only a moment that a smile crosses your face, I would be satisfied. I figured: New year… new me… new way of expressing myself. So I decided to create a blog. My only intention for this blogging thing is to just release all of my stress through writing. Being a college student, I have plenty of stress. Believe me; I have a lot of stress. And hopefully, by writing down my thoughts, ideas, & problems on here, I can work towards being stress-free. So for those of you, who actually take the time out to read my words, please bare with me. I'm new to this. Happy New Years, to everyone who is reading this, may 2009 brings us more peace, love, & strength than 2008.
