so here's a brief update on my life for the last 2 months:

applied for colleges and still am waiting for their replies
went to san francisco for the weekend to visit mi hermana
bought 'rosie the robot' doll
finally got my favorite person in the world, anthony bourdain's  book "a cook's tour"
and much more, i guess....

i just didnt feel like my life for the last 2 months was worth writing about...

i will definitely start writing more later-adios!

i just watched two wonderful movies in the past two days: "before sunrise" and "before sunset." its about two lovers having a conversation about their lives throughout the entire two films; to me, their conversations and emotions  seemed so genuine. the first one is more romantic while the second movie is just so painful and heartbreaking. everyone must watch them.

so i turned 18 two days ago but i still feel like the immature retard that ive always been. i still hug my mom like im a baby and i occasionally turn on nsync and sing along to their songs with my sister (btw, my sister just turned 22). people usually celebrate when they turn 18 'cause they feel somewhat more free or whatever to do more stuff but i just feel like im still 14.

for those who have nothing to do this friday night, come to the fox theater cause theyre screening "goodbye, lenin!" admission is only $4 so please come!

just so everyone knows, im not dead. i just never come online...

ive been crazily stressing out about college 'cause i know i wont get in anywhere i want to.

highlights of the past two months:

got 4 dvds for twenty dollars yesterday.
watched 'the incredibles'- good golly, its a great movie
saw my third grade teacher at the market yesterday morning.
got a free burrito at chipotle for bringing a canned food.
went trick or treating as a male librarian
tutored and got some moola
went to CALM! remember CALM?!!!
watched a lot of movies alone
finally got my dads awesome old camera fixed so i can take pictures
wrote my research paper the morning it was due. I started at 12:30 am and ended at 7:30. i ended up skipping school.

thanksgiving is definitely one of my favorite holidays because i just love the weather and the color of it. the bright oranges and reds on those trees-i love it. i love waking up and going to my aunts to cook. and how food network has those thanksgiving specials-ahhh love it love it..

i went to the fair yesterday. every year i tell myself i wont go but i always end up going. some of my friends performed so i went to watch them. i won two goldfish, attempted to rope a fake cow, saw the biggest horse ive ever seen in my life(no joke), and saw the smallest horse that ive ever seen in my life. after much thought, jessica and i concluded it was a donkey.

i need some recommendations for a good foreign film cause i want to screen one at school for international club. i have a pretty good list but i dont think i can show movies that are rated r. so please, think hard and give me some names.

im in love with bebel gilberto right now. shes a brazilian jazz singer and shes so incredible. i burned a copy for linda- i hope you like it!

i watched an awesome documentary last night about this exiled black panther who is now a community leader in tanzania. goodness, it made me realize that i need to shut up and stop worrying and complaining about everything.

did you know that mexicans living in the u.s send a total of 10.5 billion dollars a year back to mexico? its the second highest source of national income next to exporting oil. thats insane.

how is it that everyone knows how to ice skate but me? we live in bakersfield, no one should know how to ice skate! i went to skate with a few friends yesterday and it probably was one of the most physically painful experience ive ever had. first, i was laughing my head off cause i was so terrible at it; that hurt my stomach. i happened to fall two times on my butt-let me just say that i had to sleep on my side. i fell on my knees, got a bruise, and every time i poke at it, it hurts like crazy. then the guy at the counter said that i had two different size shoes on which explains why my right foot hurt so badly. lastly, while i was sleeping i pulled a muscle in my right leg. just to save myself from embarassment and pain i think ill never go skating again.

im craving chocolate cake.
