Life Changes...... Let's Deal With It

I just recently got some news that might change my life forever..... If they go as they seem they will my life with be a very different one by the start of next year. This could mean many things, it can either be for the the good or for the worst. I know, however, that it will go as I want it to go. I can make it the best news of my life, or I can take it as a depressing and horrible new experience. I don't know which one to go for, because I can see the good side and the bad side at the same time. I don't know how to take it. I am afraid......

The thing is that.... there is a possibility that I lose my friends, I cannot mention how or when because of some other reasons. But that is another story. The thing is, if this event happens I will lose my friends, or at least contact with them and my family. It'd be a new start for me.... A whole new start, and I can see that as the good side, but it can be the bad side too, because of how old I am. Ugh....

 I really hate when life puts me in these situations...Because at the end it all depends on me. It is up to me what I want to make of this new experience, it is up to me to see the good side to it. At the end that is what I am going to do, because I cannot do anything to change the way things are already going... It is not up to me to change the situation, just how I look at it...

If things are confirmed, I promise to write about it, since this will be such a big change for me,

'till then,

Things people do while driving....

Today while I was on the bus, I looked out the window and started noticing the things people do while driving. You probably already know this, because either you've seen it or do it yourself.

So, by the end of my very enjoyable bus trip, which reminds me, they transferred our bus today(weird),  I concluded the top 3 things that people do (according to me):
  1. Text - I saw way too many people texting, I should have known
  2. Eat or drink - Many had some kind of drink or food in their hands
  3. I saw many girls doing this, you might as well guess, Make-up - I suppose they were running late
So, it is my guess, but sometimes people do stupid things behind the wheel. I mean, if your going to drive,  might as well try to drive right.Oh well, I guess people really don't like to follow rules. Then they wonder.. why do accidents happen?... ugh..

I also looked up online what people do while driving, and I found the most bizarre things. I mean real bizarre: People shaving, reading, changing clothes, there was something about kissing and making out too... okaaay.....

What else can people do?!

My next road trip...

I just found out recently that we will be out on the 'open road' very soon. Not to move though, *sigh* but to go to Mexico to visit some family. From what I've heard, I think my parents are deciding to make this a sort of tradition. Since my mom and sister got papers, we have been going every single time we have the chance.I really don't mind, however, it is kind of scary to think we are going all the way there in car.

Well, besides that, it seems that we will be making many stops before we actually reach our destination. I don't know how many or where, but we are. It was my dad's idea, but hey, I think he just wants to go by Vegas before getting straight on the road. It does sound exciting and all, but with all that's going on, I hope we make it there safe and sound. Plus on the way back. lol.

I can't decide if I'm impatient or scared,

Trip to the Getty Center 2010

Yesterday we spent a whole day at the Getty Center, which is this famous museum in LA. There was an exibit on this famous artist. Gerome, but they didnt allow us to take pictures of that. I did however, take pictures of many of the other exibits.The center of the garden. Here is where we started our journey around the museum. Very nice place to start

This was the first painting that we saw.

Haha, funny how it had to be a bug. XD



After this the real paintings and art started.

Well those are some of the paintings. I hope you all like them. I do want to reccommend you all if you have a change, visit the Getty Center in LA. It is a great experience.

Update on my week...

Well, nothing much has been going on, but it is enough for me to write about it. I am not a senior in high school, I am a sophomore. I have found out many of the worries a senior is taking during this time of the year. Many of my friends have finished their senior portfolios, senior projects, and have gone to prom! I see that and I think, "Oh my god! Two more years and I am there! Oh my gosh I cant wait till prom!" etc, etc. Then I realize, I am growing up. I am on my way to becoming an adult. Soon I am going to have to go to University, make my final decision about my future, make my life worthwhile. So much and so little time.

A couple days ago, I was called something I know I am not... I don't know who it was, I don't know where they got the lie from, but it hurt me really bad. However, some time late I was helped to realize that they do not know who I am, and they have no idea what they are talking about. Also, one never knows who is the person that is talking to you from the other side. So don't let rude comments on you sites get you down, they know nothing about you, and you will find haters, everywhere.

Another thing, my dad has been talking about moving. Arkansas.... Yeah, he is talking about quitting his job and leaving this weekend!! I know it is a new adventure, and all, but he was never this serious... AW!!! Well if we do go, it is gonna be a lot for me. I am going to have to start over in school basically, find myself new friends. Ugh, it'd be so much... Well for now it is nothing serious, and as much as I know, it never is when my dad says that we are going to move. I guess we'll have to see.

My life on the road....

My dad has been talking about moving, again. He seems to be really considering the option, actually. Arizona, Arkansas.... ugh, I think he mentioned Texas too. He seems to be tired of California. He really wants to change. I wouldn't mind it, but there is things that I would have to let go of. Things that I have gotten attached to. My friends, my close relatives, my school, my future basically....

Well ever since i can remember, my family has been moving from place to place. I feel like a nomad... I've been to some places that you wouldnt believe. I was born in California, and after a few years we moved to TJ, there I grew up. I learned to talk, and I was social, I actually had many friends and I really liked it there. However, then my dad thought it was time to move. He made up his mind and we moved to Michoacan, Mexico. There I was enrolled to a really different elementary than the one I had been raised with. A catholic Private all girl school. name? El Colegio Miguel Hidalgo. Well there I at least had my cousins to make me company, but I had a really hard time regardless.
After my little new experience in Michoacan(like a year), we moved back to TJ, where I came back to my normal life again. There were things that had changed, new people that I had to meet, but most of the things were familiar. The teachers, my friends, my house... I actually thought that everything had frozen in time and I came back and fit in like a puzzle. My happiness didnt last though. My little perfect world was soon to change. Again!


My dad wanted to move to the United States, after all that was were everything had started. The US was were everyone else was going. He had a good job and had somewhere for us to stay. We were moving to Las Vegas, Nevada. I can still remember all the tears I shed for all my friends, how they treated me goodbye, and how they told me they would never forget me. To this day I am still in touch with them, and I wont lose the connection I still hold to my childhood memories.

Well, it took a few weeks for us to get settled in Vegas-the sin city!!! At first it was great, a new experience, sure! An adventure, why not?......... Easy? Not a chance..... I was enrolled in an elementary school were everyone was talking english. I had no clue what anyone said. I couldnt communicate, I couldnt make friends, it was the hardest thing to imagine. I felt like I was in another planet. In class I didnt really do anything, the teacher just gave me books to look at and papers were to write in. There was this one girl though, she was really nice and she had gone through what I was going through a few years back. She knew english really well though, but she knew spanish too. So soon she became my best friend. I was getting my life back again. You wouldnt imagine what happend next.... haha, no you can probably infer....

Yeah, we were moving again.....

I am not sure what had happend to my dad's job. We had only lived in Vegas for a few months, and he informed us that we were moving to LA. Where three of his brothers lived. I had not gotten attached to the people as I had been in TJ, but it was just a little hard. Easier than the first time though. We ended up going and living with one of my dad's brother. The dad of my best friend, my cousin Lupita!! Who I love, and have not been pulled from. <3>

Well, I dont think we lasted even a couple months in LA, because I didnt finish my fifth grade year there. We moved again before the year was half way done. After the last move, we've been here for the last five years, which is great and bad for many reasons. Here I learned english, I tried my best in school and made many friends. It took me a long time before I had real friends because many of my early friends didnt like me and just put up with me because I wouldnt go away. lol. Well at least that is what I think. I apologize to all of them if I am wrong, but that is just the way I feel. Then came middle school, where I met all the friends I have now. One in particular who wouldnt be my friend now if I hadnt stuck on her like gum. Now we just look back at it and think. "What an annoying person I was!" ^o^
Now the bad thing about it..... If we move again, its going to be like the first time. Like the first time this ever happend. I'm going to have to say bye to all my close friends. I'm going to shed many tears again, and I am going to have to let go of all the important people in my life... It is going to hurt, that is all I know.
So.... Like I said before, I really dont mind moving, it just takes "a lot out of me." I am used to it, Ive done it so many times I dont think it would be any different than all those other times. Just as hurtful and just as hard. If my dad decides to move, I am not going to say no, I am not going to object, because over the years we have lived here, he had told us we were going to move a couple times, what am I saying???! Alot of times, and at the end it doesnt happen. At the end of the day, I realize, my dad wants to experience new things, and see new horizons. I dont mind, I'll follow him, its not my only choice, but I love him and I want to stand by his side.
Another experience would be nice. A new begining, a new adventure, a change........
So whether we move or not....... We'll see, everything happens for a reason right???
