WRITE ABOUT THE WORST DAY OF YOUR LIFE?

I would have to say the worst day of my life was the day I found out about my grandmothers death. I had only ever known 1 grandparent and she passed away when I was 15. That day was heart breaking and hard to accept. I had so much anger and regret. Anger that she had to pass away while on a trip in Mexico, anger that she didn't get the proper health care she needed, anger that our family couldn't be there right there and then, and regret for never truly saying to her how much I really loved her. I was a very closed off person emotionally and never truly expressed how I felt. To this day, I am mad that I never truly expressed how much I loved her and appreciated her. I only pray that she knows how much I love her and miss her.

WRITE ABOUT THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE.

I think I would have to say the best day of my life was valentines day 2009 I believe, but only because it gave me the best feeling of my life. At the time, I was in an intense online-relationship with someone long distance in the army. (takes too long to explain the complexity of an online relationship) And on this particular V-day, we were talking on the phone and I remember clearly I was driving home from Wal-Mart and he randomly asked if I would marry him. I thought it was a joke but I could tell in his voice that he was sincere. It took me a while, but I basically said no and he got upset and I was afraid I had lost him for good. So when I got home, I called him and we talked and I explained my reasoning, and he told me he wasn't mad. To go from that heart-sinking feeling of maybe losing him to immense relief of still having him in my life was incredible. I literally felt my heart beat faster as we said we loved each other. I had never felt that way before, nor have I felt that way about anyone else ever since. It sounds cheesy, but I think I felt true Love for the first time on that day at that instance.

Laugh all you want at the sillyness of an online relationship, but that was something special that was REAL to me, even though it wasn't physically real. But it left an impact and a mark in my heart, so much that I consider that my best day ever.

WHAT'S THE MEANEST THING ANYONE HAS EVER SAID TO YOU?

I had this one guy tell me I was a pathetic lonely worthless slut...I don't really wanna go into detail but he "liked" me, but never expressed it to me, and I began seeing someone else. Long story short, I think his hurt jealous ego wanted to make me feel bad about not waiting for him to grow a pair and tell me how he felt. I'm not a mind reader! He should have told me sooner. Ohh well. It definetly made me feel horrible about myself, but I think I've moved past it. His fault for lossing me.

30 Days of Blogging...Day 9 (12.25.10)

WHAT'S THE NICEST THING ANYONE HAS EVER SAID TO YOU?

I think the nicest thing I have been told on more than one occasion is that I am a good friend. That really means alot to me because once you have my friendship, my real true friendship, I will always be there for them.

The most unique and most recent nicest thing that I have been told, is that I am "preserved" and not corrupt by much of what the world is so full of. I was at first taken back by this comment, but I think it is something to be proud of. I know I have been sheltered and still am very new to alot of things, and I am slowly coming out of my shell. Baby steps!

But hopefully I can maintain my morality and values while trying to explore this world of ours.

NAVIDAD 2010!

Well it's Christmas (or at least it was 4 days ago) and it was a blast. In our family, we do Noche Buena the night before at my parents house with lots of food (mainly tamales) and just spending time together talking and gossiping and eatying. Then Christmas morning, they all come back to the parent's house and re-heat tamales and make champurrado (chocolate drink) and have someone dress up as Santa and give out the gifts to the kids. This year my sister-in-law dressed up as the jolly Santa and gave out the gifts. We have a big family so there are lots to open. I damn near went broke just buying them all something. But I like getting everyone something and making them feel special. I go through all the trouble buying everyone gifts, and all I get in return are a soap set, an ugly vest, and some jeans that are like 2 sizes too small. GREEAAATTTTT lol. But really, I'm not complaining. I'll just make them get me something I want later down the road hahah. All in all, it was a very good Christmas season full of cheer and yummy food and good conversations. Navidad 2010 is a success!

HOW DO YOU FEEL TODAY? (December 24th, 2010)

Well that day was Christmas Eve/Noche Buena. My family is mexican so we do the whole Noche Buena gathering with all our family members and just eat, and talk, and eat! Very good combinations. As to how I FELT...I felt really girly. First of all, because I wore a dress and second of all, because I was the only one who was in a dress. LOL, I told everyone to dress up so we can pretend to be a fancy family, but Noooo they all came in jeans and some in pajamas LOL. Gotta love my family. But I wanted to look nice for once so I dressed up, and that always makes me feel special, even if it is only me who feels like that. I never really get any compliments from my family as to what I wear but I think I looked cute HAHA! So yeah...in a nutshell...I felt cute that night.

POST YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE.

Well, it's kind of silly where it comes from, but it's from an old My Chemical Romance song
"You say you read me like a book, well the pages are all torn and frayed"

Basically, just cause you THINK you know me, does not mean you know the REAL me.
Yes I am a simple person on the outside, but I'm a complex person on the inside. And unless you take the time to really get to know me, then don't you dare pretend to know me. It's just kind of a "throw it in their face" kind of statement. One never truly stops learning things about someone.

30 Days of Blogging...Day 6

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WERE TRULY HONEST WITH SOMEONE? WHAT WAS IT ABOUT?

Well I suppose it must have been with Hector, they guy I had met randomly at the park and had been seeing off an on un-officially and had so much drama with. We were at a rough patch, and one day I was just pouring out all my feelings and thoughts and opinions and I was even getting emotional. I didn't hold back and said all I wanted. I was even surprised at myself how easily I said what I had held in for so long. Granted, his stupid ego was a barrier, but at least he heard what I had to say, and that always feels good. I could go into so much more detail, but it is somewhat personal and I don't feel like airing out my dirty laundry just yet. LOL
But yes...that was the last time I was truly honest..and it felt awesome!

30 Days of Blogging...Day 5

WRITE ABOUT A PERIOD OF TIME IN YOUR LIFE WHERE THINGS WERE NOT SO GOOD.

In my adolescent years, I think it was all of high school and some college. The educational aspect of school was good, learned alot. But the social and relationship stuff was absent. They say high school is the best years of your life? Well mine sucked. I was in a higher education magnet school program in my school, so we were basically separated from the rest of the "normal" kids. We basically stayed in the same group of students for most our classes and for all 4 years of high school. And within this isolated group, I was even more isolated. I of coarse attached myself to a group of friends, but I was more of the accuaintance, they all had their inside jokes or knew each other from way back and knew more about eachother than I did. I was just glad to have someone to sit with at lunch or for group work. Granted I didn't really try hard to get more involved or integrated in the group but I was just a really really quiet shy girl who stood in the back trying to avoid being seen. I was the ugly duckling who was ignored and just left alone most of the time. I wasn't picked on, but rather just left alone throughout college too. To feel invisible is the worst feeling ever, its like you don't even exist. Well I got through those years and still to this day haven't heard much from many of those old school mates. With the exception of one, Maria who I never knew we had so much in common. I think if I was more open back then and more comfortable with myself, we could have been better friends. She is still the only person from HS that I still talk to from time to time.

In my adult years...probably when my first boyfriend dumped me and every time a guy would cut me off or just stop talking to me. The feeling of rejection is horrible. I think everyone can attribute to that, its a part of life though. Gotta take the Good with the Bad. I just hope I get more of the Good soon...
I know I'm rambling now...so I'll just stop at that.

30 Days of Blogging...Day 4

WRITE ABOUT A PERIOD OF TIME IN YOUR LIFE WHERE THINGS SEEMED TO BE CONSTANTLY GOING GOOD.

Well I would have to say early childhood years when there were no worries about financial stability, education worries, relationship hardships, social busts, self esteem issues...everything was about having fun learning and playing, believing anything was possible and just being an innocent without knowing the harshness of the real world.


In my adult years, I guess it would have to say this year as a whole. This year I really started to open up to people and let my inner self out. I finally allowed myself out of my shell and I started dating. Had a lot of first experiences. I had my first real boyfriend. I started to wear dresses which was very rare before. I began to let my hair down, literally; I always used to tie it back or in a braid or bun. I began going to a salon to have it styled and cut so it has shape to it. I started walking more in the spring/summer and trying to watch what I eat more. I even lost a few pounds. I began buying more girly clothes. I enjoy shopping now when before it was just a chore. I really learned alot about myself this year...best one so far. Can't wait to see what is in store for me in 2011!

30 Days of Blogging...Day 3

IF YOU ONLY HAD 24 HOURS TO LIVE, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO DO?

Well I suppose I'd wanna spend my time in a loving environment and without any drama or worries. I would wanna be with a special someone who can just hold me and make it feel like bliss being in their arms. Sadly, I still haven't met my prince charming yet, but I'd wanna spend my time with someone who makes me feel special and wanted and loved. And not just the family/friend kind of love, I want to feel LOVE for real. I have spent so many years without romantic affection, that it is what I long for the most. I want the feeling to be mutual too. Both of us loving the other. It might sound like a little girls dream like when I used to play with my Barbies and they each lived happily ever after...well I wanna experience that. Unrealistic as it is, it is how I'd wanna spend my last hours feeling.

Family Fun Night

Last night was my niece's 20th birthday. We did a last minute celebration involving Posole (yumm) AND Mcdonalds chicken nugets and fries AND frozen fruit salad AND tres-leches cake AND wine coolers. What can I say...It was a hell of a lot better than staying home alone watching tv. Everytime all our family gets together, it is a good time. Especially the ladies of the family. My sisters and nieces and mother and I. We were all sitting at the dinner table eating cake and drinking wine coolers and laughing about silly things and making silly comments. HAHAHAH always a very interesting but quite fun time.

These are my 2 oldest nieces. The 3 of us together always calls for a fun silly time. Yes I am wearing a santa hat, and my niece is wearing a pink cowboy hat...lol random!

30 Days of Blogging...Day 2

Write about the best friends you've had over the years.

Well sadly enough, I don't think I have ever had a true best friend since maybe elementary school. I had acquaintances and people I knew just because we were in the same classes, but never a BFF that you confide in and tell secrets too and spend time together all the time. The closest thing I have to a best friend is an online friend Alexandra who is in Florida...yet I am in Texas. LOL yeah it's only a virtual friendship, but I've known that girl for years now and we are so much alike in our personalities and mannerisms. I've confided in her all my secrets and I trust her with them. And she is never judgemental and always suppportive and understands my often critical point of view. She is like my twin sister...from another mother and another ethnicity and born a few years after me and born in another state HAHAH.
Gotta love the internet!

Other than that, I would have to say my mom is like my best friend because she is always there to give advice on anything I ask her about and always gossiping and joking. she knows when to interfere or when to back off issues. She has seen my good and my bad, and always gives her honest opinion. I think a good friend would always be brutally honest, and trust me she is. LOL. She'll tell me to chase after someone or to drop someone like a bad habit. I may not always follow her advice, but it's good to always have someone else's point of view in a situation. Thanks Mommy!

15. I don't have any tattoos but I secretly want one :)

back...

Well people, I keep abandoning this poor lil blog, because nothing of worthy has really happened in my life. I'm still single, but I'm ok with that. I ended a friendship-type thing with a guy, it was hard to do but had to be done for personal reasons. Work is stable and steady which is good for financial reasons. And I had to cut back on my personal spending because of christmas. I'm nearly done with all my christmas shopping so I can go back to shopping for me again (*insert big smile here*)

Today is also my niece's 20th birthday and my nephew's 22nd birthday. Gosh! I feel so old LOL but its cool, they are more like friends to me. My nephew is in the military and is currently in Afghanistan and will be there well into the new year. It is really sad not to be with him this year. But as long as I know he is safe and sound, then I am ok with it, and we will make it up to him and celebrate when he comes home!

Well that is it for now. If we end up celebrating my niece's birthday today, it would just be me and my 17 year old niece and her. Soooooo...wild girls night! LOL. I'll tell yall how it goes if anything happens.
Until next time...

Looking Forward

So I know it has been a while since I last logged on this site, but I just haven't had much to talk about. Work is the same and family is the same. The only thing that has happened is Thanksgiving which came and went, and brought my battle with weight control to the front of the table. This season is the worst for my waistline LOL. Come on...Turkey, hams, tamales, bunuelos, champurrado, candies of all sorts...ughhh breaking a diet never felt so good [:

As for relationships, I'm single. Although once again, I like someone but I'm just really scared to pursue anything due to my past experiences. He hasn't made any effort to really hang out with me either so I'm guessing he just likes me as a friend, which is ok I guess. How does one know when to chase a guy. I hate doing it, but sometimes its necessary. I'm just really scared to get hurt again. I think I'll just follow his lead and be friends.
I have never been in a relationship during the holidays and I wished this year to be different, but only time can tell what happens.

I hate to be sounding like a whiny biatch on here, but it helps me release tension and express myself :]

Hopefully, I will be able to celebrate the season in a MERRY mood and get back to being the Merry ME. I am looking forward to my niece's 20th birthday, then Noche Buena with family, Christmas Day, and New Years with them all. I will try and make the most of it and end this year with a positive attitude. I will even try and look cute while doing it LOL.

Hoping everyone out there is doing good and is staying joyful during this happy season.

*sad face*

SOOOOOO....that smile that I had on my face due to a particular person...is now turned upside down.
Yet again, just when I though that I had met someone sweet, respectful, funny, just overall wonderful, he suddenly drops me like a bad habit. We saw each other sunday and it was great. Then monday he sends a mass text to his contacts that he is changing his number for privacy reasons and that he will text us the new number. Well monday, tuesday, and wednesday came and went and no word. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and thought he still would text me eventually. Well thursday night I get an email through a social website and he tells me that he was gonna give me his new number, but then his ex came into town and basically they are gonna try and work things out. WTF. At least he wished me well, but come on...he couldn't have called me or told me in person. To make it worst, he deleted his social webpage account, so I dont event have any form of contacting him. I guess he just really wanted to cut me off and turn the other way. I feel sad and not worthy anymore. People tell me I have to live more and go out and date, but when I do find someone compatable, they chose to leave me. This has been the case in every guy that I have liked. I really don't know what to think. It's true I don't get out much, but I really don't have anyone else to go out with and have fun. My life really is a sad story and I keep bringing this blog down with me. But this poor excuse of an online diary/blog is my only outlet sometimes.

just fun pics :)

A FEW PICS FROM RIPLEYS DOWNTOWN SA

John Cena and the Undertaker wax figures

cut out of the Largest Man

just for fun...

L - O - L

I had a date!

2 actually.
So not that long ago I met a guy, and he's really cool. and sweet. and respectful. and funny. and handsome. We're just friends right now, but I feel really comfortable with him. Our first meeting wasn't awkward but rather relax and fun. We had dinner, went to wal-mart, and saw a movie. 2 days later we met up again for late lunch and a trip to downtown's Ripleys Haunted Adventure, the Tomb Raider experience, and the Ripleys museum. All 3 were a first for me and I had an awesome time doing them. Also, I had my first real alcoholic buzz with him. LOL. It was only 1/2 of a Pat O'Brians Hurricane, but I was feeling a lil lightheaded and apparently I was smiling alot. I guess I am a lightweight huh LOL. Another fun day with him. I hope this friendship lasts.

hmmm...

Ok well not much has happened in my life that is worthy enough of being written about. I haven't gone out or hanged out with anyone, so its just been pretty bland. I'm kinda broke right now. I splurged on a new sofa I bought and paid for it with my debit card rather than do credit. Well now I'm pretty much down to a $50 balance on my debit card. I have my savings account but dont like to take money out of it. But I'll be ok by this weekend.
I guess thats it for me...

just sharing...

ok this was my 2009 costume:

Ragedy Anne inspired doll

and this is all I have so far for 2010

1920's gangster/mobster/bartender? LOL

what do ya'll think?

stick with the old, or buy a toy gun to make the new look genuine.

favorite holiday

Halloween is my favorite holiday and not just because of the candies :)
I've always loved Halloween, but never truly go all out and celebrate it.
Last year was the first time in a long time I had dressed up to give out candies, but our street is so dark at night and not many people, let alone innocent kids, walk around at night.
But still I had fun dressing up.
This year, I didn't have as much time as last year to make a costume, so I'm gonna compose one using clothes I already have.
My thought: 1920's gangster/mobster
I shortened a black skirt I had and added white trim to it, I have a white blouse and I'm gonna use a black vest over it, and a Fadora hat I have.
Granted, when I first put everything on, I look like a Michael Jackson wanna be LOL.
So whether I look gangster-ish or MJ-ish...I think its all good.
I don't have any plans for the weekend, but I might just go walking with my nieces as they go trick-r-treating around the neighborhood. Then maybe go home, eat junk food, and watch spooky movies with my 17 and 20 year old nieces.

I wanna know what anyone else is gonna do this Halloween season?

well...

I have stopped seeing the guy who had brought me so much drama. About 2 weeks ago we had yet another misunderstanding. He always takes my sarcastic jokes seriously and we had an argument. He said that was it, no more seeing each other. Then a week later he asks me to do him a favor but yet again he took a joke of mine way too seriously and acted childish. Well I was at first on the brink of tears while driving back home but F**k I had to say something. I started talking back and defending myself against his claims. He started laughing and when he got out of the car, he came around to my side and tried to grab my face and tell me he would see me that night. I said no. I told him that I wasnt a little 17 year old he could play around with. His attitude changed again and said that this time it would be the last time he contacts me if I left. And I just said ok to his face and drove off.
Well I have seen him at the park a few times and he's seen me drive by his house a few times but we don't hang out anymore. A few days ago, he called me and tried to come over but I stuck to my decision and told him not too. I think it hurt his feelings, but he has to learn that he can't be playing around with women like he did with me. Thinking you can fight, argue, and make claims, and passively agressively attack me and next day all is forgiven and forgotten? Nah Ah, not with me. If he's not apologizing, I'm not giving in.
And it sucks to be alone every night now. I have just been staying home and watching tv. I don't have anyone to go out with and I don't like the club/bar scene. So my life is bland and boring again. But I suppose its better than feeling like you have someone but they don't appreciate you or express any form of care towards you. I guess in the long run, it is for the best. The best for me.
Well now....about this blog here. I don't dress cute, so I can't have a fashion blog. And now I have no more juicy gossip or drama to share. So excuse me if I am lacking here. If something exciting comes up, I'll put something up. Until then.

ohh my Goshness

Instead of staying home and soaking in my misery, I actually got out of the house tonight, without Hector, and without feeling bad about it. I had dinner with a new friend and it went quite well. Actually, it was with the guy that made Hector all jealous and upset the other day, but he doesn't know that. Since he decided not to see me as "friends" anymore or even try to make our relationship work, that is information that he doesn't need to know. I'm not trying to start more drama. Besides it was innocent. I'm allowed to have friends too, right?

"friend" break-up?

I hadn't seem or heard from my guy friend for a few days so I decided to go to his place and see if he was ok. Well he was there, and acted like it was no big deal. Well I kept saying I was worried and wanted to see him and asked why he hadn't gone, and he said he's not gonna go to my place again. And primarily due to things I had no control over. For one, he is stuck on something my mom said, joking if he had put a spell or charm over me because I am always going to him and wanting to be with him. I know my mom was joking, but he took it as an offense. Also, he doesn't like how my father looks at him. Who can blame him? Fathers are always protective and suspicious of a daughter's love interest. Plus, my guy friend doesn't even try to make conversation or let my family get to know him, so I understand their concerns. But all that shouldn't matter if he truly wanted to be with me. At least that is what I had thought. I never asked him to be friendly or talkative with my family or to hang out at family gatherings, I accepted our "thing" as it was. And also apparently people in the neighborhood are talking about him and I, about who's daughter I am, about how I visit him and take him places, and I guess I am being portrayed as a "sugga momma", and he don't like the gossip. So due to silly gossip and expected family rections, he is cutting me loose. For now. I was trying not to tear up, and I kept looking away to dry out a few tears coming out. He said he was "contento y feliz solo" [content and happy being alone]. I know I have some feelings for him and I though he had something for me too, but I don't know if he really doesn't want to see me anymore or if he is playing tough guy and see if he can make me believe he is no longer interested. It's really sad because we had talked about maybe making our relationship official, and here he is easily willy to end it all. I think maybe his machismo pride is hurt and wants to re-establish his strong leader loner-yet-ladies-man image he had before.

Ughhh, boys...who will ever understand them?

New hair product reviews

So I kept seeing this commercial for "Tio Nacho" shampoo on the spanish channels and I was curious as to what the hype was all about. It makes alot of promises. It is also really hard to find, but I finally found it at CVS pharmacy. They only had the one used to hide grays so I bought it for like $7.99 and gave it to my dad to use, he has alot of grays. I have noticed his hair darker and softer. Our whole family thought he had dyed his hair LOL. Well that pushed me into trying it out for myself. I bought the Natural Lightening shampoo with natural extracts and "Royal Jelly and Chamomile" for $6.99. This shampoo supposedly nurtures and helps strengthen hair and naturally lighten it. Ohh well, worth a shot. I just used it tonight, and I will say that once my hair dried, I felt it soft and worthy of running my fingers through it. LOL , it felt as if I had at least used a conditioner, but I didn't! Tio Nacho only has shampoos, or at least the store I went to only had the shampoo. But really, there is no need for one, the shampoo leaves your hair quite soft by itself. For a first time use, I was impressed. I am gonna hold off on commenting about the lightening effect for a few more washes. I have really dark brown hair with reddish hidden highlights only visible in bright sunlight. I am hoping to see some of the lighter tones enhanced. All in all, I say the Tio Nacho shampoos live up to the hype, at least for now. My soft hair and my dad's darker and less gray hair are testimony to that. You should try it IF you can find it in stores.


While at CVS, I also saw a section of got2b products and the "smooth operator" Smoothing Lustre Lotion with cashmere caught my attention. It may have been the cute pink bottle and the attached charms.

Yes, charms on the bottle. Cute right!

Anyways, I took the lid off to smell it and it smelled really sweet, almost like cotton candy. The product is "infused with luxurious cashmere, shapes, smoothes, controls fly-aways and imparts an amazing weightless lustre and softness. Helps to protect against damage from heat styling and contains a UV protectant." I was sold! All that is something I need. Softening effect, controls fly-aways, heat protectant , and enchanting smell. I used it once my Tio Nacho washed hair had air dried. It immediately makes your hair feel soft-er and ohh so touchable. The smell is awesome too, not at all too sweet like candy or fruit, but cashmere-ish, if there is such a smell LOL.
I think I might have to look into the got2b hair line products for shampoos or hairsprays.

Then, since I had nothing else better to do, I decided to curl my hair a little bit to see the "heat damage" protection of the got2b product. I use the old fashioned hot rollers because they are quicker and I think are safer than the curling iron which can over heat your strands and cause more damage. Besides, I'm lazy. All I gotta do is plug it in, let them heat up, put them on and take them off after a while. All in all it takes me about 10 minutes.

Well, I only wanted loose manageable curls, and I got them. Even now, about 3 hours later, they are still nice and flowy without having to add on extra hairspray like I usually do. I must admit, I did have a few fly-away hairs, but that is fixable with a flexible hairspray. Too bad I didn't have anywhere to go. I stayed home and watched tv, but damn I felt cute with my soft bouncy hair.

MASCARA

I know most of my entries as of late have been about drama, but this one is different.

See, I'm the kind of person who hates change often so when I find something I like I usually stick to it. I have used AVON's Curvelicious mascara for a while now, but my niece turned me onto Maybelline's Falsies mascara. I only used it today and I liked it. The AVON mascara is good if you have naturally long lashes, but this Maybelline one seems to work even if you don't. The secret to both mascaras is the curved brush. I don't know why I'm so excited about this mascara. Enough to write about it. I really like the bright colorful purple packaging too :)

According to Maybelline, "The Falsies Mascara delivers a false lash look; giving you a full set of voluminous, bold, fanned out lashes and the appearance of no gaps from any angle.

The Pro-Keratin and Fibre enriched formula is designed to deliver immediate results, distributing volume and visible intensity to your lashes. The patented ‘Spoon’ shaped brush helps fan lashes out."

Well I had no complaints, no clumps, well fanned out, and good cover. I like it. It was on sale at Target too for $5, which is cheaper than my Avon brand mascara regular price $7.99. I say its worth a try!

Note: I did use a different Avon mascara for my lower lashes. Also, its hard to get good close up eye pics. Especially when you need flash, but you dont want to make yourself blind taking the pic :p

side note:

I'm also curious as to whether anyone else applies eyeliner to the inner rim of their eyes. I do this all the time, but I get mixed opinions as to whether it is safe or not. I personally have never had any infections from it, although sometimes it does run in and under my lower eye lid. Thats why I am also on the look out for a good eyeliner that will not run. Again I am partial to my AVON eyeliner, which does stay on long, but need a brand alternative that I can buy at any Walmart, Target, or drug store when I can't place my AVON order. Any suggestions??

more to the drama...yay :(

The story continues...

This past friday, the day after the whole situation of my guy running out on me because I was ignoring him, (see prior post) he calls up and says we needed to "hablar en serio" to have a serious talk. We talked...well semi-argued. Basically he claims I was being rude (true, I admit to that) and that I was looking to be more than friends with that new guy and blah blah blah. I didn't want to go around in circles trying to defend myself, so I asked if he was done talking, and that he could leave now. Yeah, I kicked him out. Then as he was leaving he said I needed to go to his place to pick up some of my stuff that was there, and I did. Once there, he made up excuses for me to leave saying he had to clean them first and that he would take them to me later. I refused to leave empty handed and make it seem like he was kicking me out. We were both upset with the other but we would smirk and laugh when we tried to keep on a mad face. I would be like "just give me my pillow" and he would say come and get it and he'd lie on top of it, and it would turn into a scuffle, a sort of challenge to see who can restrain the other. It was half serious, half immature play fighting. I think I even tried to bite his shoulder so he can release me LOL. But I gave up and layed there with him on top of me still saying can I have my pillow please, and he laughs. In a wierd way in that fiery instance it was kind of a turn on. LOL. Wierd I know. But he took my hands and kissed me and we were just kind of staring at each other not knowing what to do. He said that if we are gonna continue from her on out, it will be official as bf/gf and niether of us can hide secrets or play around with others. Then my mom called on my cell phone and said "ven para la casa ahorrita, te prohibo que estes ayi". She basically is against me seeing him and wanted me back home immediately, so I told him and left. We didn't agree to anything as to our status, but he said he would go over to my place soon. Well he did that night and also sunday night. All is like it was before. I don't really know if thats a good or bad thing. By the way, my mother is SOOooo against me seeing him.
He has been a little bit nicer than usual and we play around more. I'm more agressive in expressing what I think or what I want. And I don't play the part of the helpless victim, I can play rough too and fight back. Not that we get into physical fights, but I do have a bruise on my ass from when I fell off the bed while we were wrestling LOL I was trying to get out of a head lock and somehow rolled over him and fell off the side. He did catch me and made the fall softer but still it hurt. I landed laughing and crying, but mostly laughing.
But anyways...I think deep down we each have more feelings than we are willing to admit. It is all fun and games now and we just enjoy each others company. I just hope the family tension and the jealousy act dies down soon. I would hate to see our "thing", whatever it is, end. Some people might call me stupid for keeping it going, but I don't think we have reached our expiration date just yet.

my life full of stupid drama

Sorry for all these drama-filled blog entries, but I really have no one else who I can talk to and vent to. Even if it is just to my imaginary blog friends, and Maria (I really think your the only one who reads this stuff) but writing about it helps.
Anyways...so this guy friend I have been seeing has repeatedly told me that we are not a couple and how I shouldn't be jealous of him talking about other girls or wanting to meet other girls. Jealousy is a natural emotion that is evoked in me when I hear about him and how he liked some chick at the park. But I swallow my pride and ignore my jealousy and just march on as if all is well. Last night, I met this guy online and he seems really cool and easy to talk to. After a while of talking online on cam on stickam.com, we exchanged numbers to keep in touch. This evening, he was texting me and then a few minutes later my guy friend (lets call him Mr. H) came over to my place and we had turned on the tv and sat on the bed. A few minutes later my new online guy friend (lets call him Mr. D) calls me up. I had told Mr. H that he might call but that we are just new friends getting to know each other. Guy friend Mr. H was watching a soccer game and a spanish novela so I thought I could take the call while he was watching tv. I was on the phone for like 9 minutes with new online friend Mr. D when suddenly Mr. H got up and left. I even hung up on my friend Mr. D and chased after Mr. H grabbing his arm and asking what's wrong and for him not to leave. He just jerked his arm and told me not to touch him and for me to continue talking to my friend Mr. D, and left.
This left me confused, disappointed, sad, and angry. Why the double standard? It is ok for him to talk about other girls and tell me not to ever get jealous, yet I talk to a guy friend and he displays jealously. Yes I made the mistake of talking for so long, but I think he over reacted by storming out. I even felt stupid chasing after Mr. H, but I really didn't want him to think I didn't want him there. It hurts to think that I hurt him and his ego and made him feel unwanted. But at least now he knows how I sometimes feel when he talks about other girls. But I don't like to play games and I don't really know what to do from here. Do I continue to chase him or give him time to process things. To make matters worst, I called back new online friend Mr. D soon afterward to apologize for hanging up and explained the situation and went on to talk about our lives and stuff for nearly an hour. I like new friend Mr. D but just as friends for now. I barely know him but I really did lose track of time and rambled a bit about stuff, much like I am doing now.
In conclusion, I know I screwed up by being on the phone for so long with someone of the opposite sex while Mr. H was over at my place. I admit that fault. I also probably shouldn't have called Mr. D back. If Mr. H finds out I called Mr. D back, he would probably end whatever relationship we have, and that scares me. I do care about Mr. H and I know I did him wrong. I am also mad at myself for allowing myself to lose control of my feelings. The feminist side of me is upset that this man Mr. H has such an effect on me. The sad lonely girl in me doesn't want to see him go. And yet another part of me is happy I called the new friend back. I know I can't have my cake and eat it too. LOL I don't know if that saying is appropriate but yeah....I want to pursue a friendship with Mr. D but still keep Mr. H around for awhile longer. Perhaps that is selfish of me :/

(sorry if the Mr. H and Mr. D references are confusing...I lack creativity)

I'm such a sad story

If anyone is looking at this and wonders what its about...it is my ranting about drama. Please feel free to ignore and skip. I just need to vent and hopefully come up with a solution to my issues. I know this is a public blog and this is a personal issue, but I dont mind people reading. I just wanna feel like I am venting out to someone, even if it is to the viral invisible people on the net.

So..I'm still dealing with the same guy. Immigrant who came up to me at the park a few months ago and started talking to me and building a relationship of sorts. It's so difficult and wierd to understand the motives and mode of thinking for this one. Sometimes he talks seriously as if we could have some sort of marriage in the future, other times he'll say we are not anything to each other and are both single then he'll get jealous if I have guy friends who text me, sometimes he'll say he is going back to his native country, other times he wants me to help him get permanent citizenship. At times I feel used as his resource for transportation, communications, internet access, food, and physical needs. I can't deny I feel attached to him because he's been in my life longer than anyone else has and I like the attention he gives me and how I feel when I'm with him. Everytime we decide to not see each other again, he comes back and it makes me feel like I am special and he needs me. I know it is wrong but I think it is my low self esteem that is the reason why I keep this going. I was never the pretty girl in school or even had any real friends to hang out with or go out with. Even now it is rare that I go out with someone other than my niece or my brother. I got so used to not getting any form of positive attention from anyone that I somewhat crave someone to just tell me they like being with me or give me a compliment. I don't ever get approached or hit on when I am out, and this guy was the first one who actually did, and also the first one who I've been physical with for so long, so I think that is why I'm so attached. And I continue to do the things I do because it's the only way to keep him around. I know I would be telling someone in my situation to end it quick and that they deserve to be treated better and that they should value themselves more. But I can't come to terms with ending it and actually doing it and sticking to it. It's a vicious cycle and I know it. I can't even talk to my family about it, and I'm embarrased to admit all this. I try to act like I'm ok with just being "friends" but I'm not. From the outside, we look like a couple and my family thinks we are, but he always wants me to make it clear to them that we are not. I'm so embarassed to say that because he does come over to my place and it makes me look like a slut giving away the milk for free (or however that saying goes). Its like in my head we are a couple, but just can't tell anyone or make it official. I even get jealous moments when he talks about seeing a cute girl and wanting to talk to her at the park, and that means that I have feelings for him. This is what I was afraid of. Now it will really be hard to end anything.

I suppose I am just hoping that my prince charming will magically find me and appear to me to rescue me, but that will probably never happen.

update 08/18/10

So no much new has been going on with me. I could make drama out of some current events, but I prefer to just let them be and accept them and move on. But let me relive them once more:

(1) Some friends are calling me a sucky friend. I know I can be bitchy and mean sometimes but that is just who I am and I thought friends were suppose to stick by your side in the good AND the bad.

(2) Facebook crush of mine deleted me from his account. Ohh well, he was kind of a jerk to me anyways, so I will be over it.

(3) A pleasant blast from the past (my first love) IM'd me and we are talking again? but nothing more than just buddies. I cant deny the occasional jealous bug, but he has a girl and is committed. Im happy for him.

(4) My current "guy friend" is wanting us to quit seeing each other because it is too much like a relationship and he don't want that. Pfft...his loss! You don't get the cow for free here LOL.

(5) I'm breaking out. I'm 26 and I still have acne prone skin. It must be all this damn heat, sweating, and stress.

So basically that is most of it. Call it drama, call it whatever. Tomorrow I am taking my nephew who just turned 18 to a movie and some dinner. That will be a good break from all this. Plus, its almost the weekend again...means a check and shopping!

Until next time...

stay MERRY

boring clothes?

typical Monday-Friday, Saturday clothes

I have been told more than once by my nieces that I have a boring style. I would have to agree. I am very conservative with my clothes and it was only until earlier this year that I even began to shop more for feminine clothing and even wear dresses on appropriate ocassions. But even though I have cute clothes in my wardrobe, I don't wear them. Partially because I have to dress comfortable and able to run around and be able to bend down with out worrying about my feet hurting at the end of the day or accidently flashing some poor unsuspecting patient. See, I work at a medical office doing front office stuff, but I dont have to wear scrubs, so I dont. So monday-friday I wear my presentable/casual work clothes (always pants) and ugly (but comfy) shoes. I work saturday mornings too, so I wear the usual combo, and I just stay in that clothes all day to do my shopping/errands. Thus, sunday is the only day you might see me in a dress or pretty girly outfit in the morning, then I get uncomfortable and usually change by noon. I'm just not comfortable in dresses, short shorts/skirts, heels, or short sleeve anything. That is why winter is my FAV season. Sweaters, scarfs, pants, boots, coats...un-lucky for me though it never gets really too cold here in south Texas.

But I am trying. On the rare occasion that I have a date or somewhere to go, I will try to be more feminine and not always wear jeans/shirt or blouse/boots or sneakers when I go out somewhere. I do have a quinceanera (mexican equivalent to sweet 16th celebration but at age 15!) to go to this saturday and I'm planning on wearing the dress from the previous post. Then sunday is a family dinner, so I might dress up (I might be the only one there dressed up, but ohh well) since I would feel more comfortable around my family than anyone else.

It is a slow process...but baby steps, baby steps :)

Hidden Purchases

There it is...the hidden purchase. My guilty pleasure. The dress I had bought a few weeks ago (ROSS $22.95) and later felt guilty for spending money on a dress I had no ocassion to wear it to or any reason why I HAD to get it, other than the fact that I wanted it! I felt guilty about it and left it in the bag and put it in a corner of my closet. I think I wanted it out of my sight for a while so I wouldn't feel so guilty about it. It is not even my style of dress. I hate halter tops and would have to find a cardi to wear over it to hide my hideous arms. Ughh...This is not my first offense either, I have another dress also hidden away and some high-heel boots I have stashed away. Same situation, the dress is spaghetti straps (not my style) and the boots hurt my toes.

Why, ohh why do I buy items that are not meant for me or my body. Darn my female shopping gene LOL. But for real, I gotta get this shopping urge under control.

But I just found out yesterday that my family was invited to a Quinceanera this saturday and I might go tag along. Finally I will put a guilty pleasure purchase to use! I keep telling myself that I will eventually wear all my cute fancy dresses, even if it is to go grocery shopping :) or at least have a fake celebration/outing that would require me to play dress up.

But for now, I will probably keep my hidden purchases in that corner of the closet until I find a use for them. Isn't it really sad to buy pretty things and not wear them :( sigh
Any suggestions or stories to tell about similar situations. Please tell me I'm not the only crazy shopper out there.

IMPROVISE!

HAHHAHAHAH I LOVE MY MOTHER...SEE HER IMPROVISED BABY STROLLER! :)

WWE tonight

Hello, my name is Marisol.....and I am a WWE wrestling fan!

I admit it. I love it!.

Tonight I am going to see a live RAW event with my brother and my niece.

It will be an awesome night.

This will be like my 6th WWE live event, and it never disappoints.

I'm so excited!!!

Ok enough over-sharing...Laterz

I ate good!

I did not get sick from his food. In fact, it was very tasty. Chicken with potatoes/tomatoe and rice with chicken broth flavoring. It was really good. The saying "a way to a man's heart is through his stomach"...well that goes for women too. Especially plump women who love food like me :) I love guys who can cook and feed me! HAHAHAH

home made take out tonight?

So..that guy friend I wrote about asked me a few minutes ago to please buy him a package of white rice from the grocery store because he is gonna make dinner tonight. He always said he was a good cook, and now that he has a stove I suppose he is gonna put his skills to work. I said I would, and he said he would take me some dinner to my house tonight. Hmmm...I wonder if he will really do it. If he does...SWEET! Home made dinner delivered to my door ready-to-eat. Delivered by a cute latin man, but NO NO I must resist any temptation to him HaHaHa, we are FRIENDS after all, and only friends...for now :]



I hope I don't get food poisoning!

from "friends" to FRIENDS

So the guy "friend" that I had is now just only a Friend. No more kisses, no more holding hands, no more intimacy, no more dates, no more emotions, other than friendly ones. I say we were "friends" because we never were anything official, but we did everything a couple would. It is interesting how when I first met him, I was the one who did not want a relationship. But two months later, I do want a relationship, but now it is he who doesn't want a relationship. It sucks. I know how hard it is to try and salvage a friendship with someone you have history with. It is nearly impossible to stay friends only with someone you like. Ohh well. I guess I understand though. He is young. He is 20, and I am 26. La carne es debil. The flesh is weak. If he wants to be free to be with other girls if he finds someone he likes more..then so be it. I have never been the type of girl to cry and beg for a guy to stay with me. It will be his loss. Of coarse it will hurt if he does, and that I know of, he hasn't. Even though he has this one chick all up on him basically offering herself to him, but he has yet to fall for it.....key word yet. Because guys are weak when it comes to temptation, so I really don't know how that will work out. Like I said, I'm not gonna chase him. I refuse to be "la otra" (the other woman) while he looks at his options. *sigh* I will just have to see how things turn out...wish me luck I guess?? LOL :)

Girl Night IN

This entry is only about 3 days late, but none the less. I did nothing this past weekend, and just stayed home at night. I never was the going-out type, but still it feels lonely to stay in sometimes. I did go shopping saturday after I got off of work...ROSS! need I say more. After wasting more money than I should have, I went home and took a shower and then...did nothing. No going out, no dates, no going to the movies with my niece, not even watching DVDs or watch TV or pigging out on junk food or take-out like I usually do. I lounged around my place, sweeping, mopping, taking out trash, then just laying on the bed listening to tunes on the radio. Then I put on some booty shorts and pretended to know how to dance and wiggled myself around my room to some reggaeton music. Yes, I was even bored enough to take some pics of myself. Come on, you know you also take pics of yourselves doing poses in the mirror. Thank god I deleted my bootay shots LOL. Well, that was saturday. Sunday, I went to church then went to see INCEPTION (really good mind boggling movie BTW) with my brother, went to the grocery store, and went home to do nothing again. (scratch that, I did feed the cats as well...ohh I did that saturday too, I don't like to let my cats starve). I put on my pajamas and a Mickie Mouse tshirt (I really don't know if its chinese or japanese words on it). Yes, I am a childish immature 26 year old who lounges around in cartoon-wear.

I must admit, it was relaxing to not do anythying. Although as I read back what I just wrote, I did do alot huh. I guess I meant my nights. I did nothing my weekend nights. And it was awesome to not worry about getting dressed up and doing your makeup or doing your hair for an outing. I highly recommend it, although you might want to actually do something entertaining like watch some movies or rock out to some tunes so you don't bore yourself to death.

That is all....I know I take way to long to explain something that could have been said in a few sentences. I ramble alot in blogs, but that's only because I'm very quiet and shy in person TeHeHe!

Until next time LOVELIES ;)

The Versatile Blogger Award

I was given this award by MARIA @ http://txlovelifeandfashion.blogspot.com/. I am not versatile in the fashion sense, because I am still pretty stuck in my ways and am still learning to venture out and be more creative and adventurous with outfits, but I am wokring on it. I would like to think that this little blog I have here is pretty versatile in the way that I write about almost anything. I have been lacking in the fashion blogs department, but I will try to get more of that in. But I also write alot about stuff that is happening to me like my blogs about my ingrown toenail, my concert experiences, my long boring relationship drama blogs, ect ect. So thanks to anyone who reads this blog. I hope I am not TOO boring.
I don't know the rules to this but I think I am suppose to write 7 random things about myself:

1) I hate open-toe shoes
2)I love WWE wrestling!
3) The most expensive restraunt I have been to is Olive Garden
4) I kinda hate sweets. I like sour stuff instead.
5) I love Horchata (I know that contradicts #4)
6) I love my small boobies! LOL
7) I still have Halloween decorations up in my room (some miniature gargoyles and stuffed spider and jack-o-lantern garland around my door) I really really like Halloween! LOL

Well that is it. Thanks again to Maria. People should really check out her blog. She is very fashionable and way more versatile than I. http://txlovelifeandfashion.blogspot.com/

\\\\update////

For the very few people who actually may read this blog, sorry for no recent entries. I've always been open about what happens to me and write about stuff, but as of late I have been hesitant to write because of certain people who I know have read my blog. (the EXs and family members).

But for the most part, not much has changed. I mentioned in my last blog somene special. Wellll, it is a difficult situation because when I first met this person, I was the one not wanting any type of official relationshiip. However, its been about 2 months and I've really grown to like him more and more and now would want a real relationship. But now it is HE who doesn't want a relationship. We are currently "friends". I guess it is ok for now. I really should be careful with this one because he is kinda a "mujeriego" aka ladies-man, aka player...at least he used to be. Do people really change? Is it possible for a player to turn faithful and loyal? He says he would but since he doesn't want a relationship, it makes me wonder what he's doing when I'm not with him. Hmmmmm......It is kinda like an angel (me) wanting to be with a little devil (him). The good girl/bad boy combo...does that ever really work out?

Anyways, thats what has been going on with me. One more question..has anyone ever been accused of being a "cougar" or a "sugga momma" LOL because I am being called both of these!?! LOL

Happy belated Birthday to me!

This past weekend was my birthday and I am just not getting around to writing about it. I have been so behind lately. I guess with age, my mind is losing its capabilities. I am officially 26, and I feel so old. I still have the mindset of like an 18 year old and am just now becoming independent and making my own decisions. I guess I was a very very late bloomer huh? LOL.

Anyways, my birthday was saturday July 3rd. That day I did nothing special. I slept in, went to wal-mart during the day, had an argument with a friend, bitched at him, then made up. That was basically my saturday. I was kind of sad that I wasn't doing anything special on my birthday, and I actually had my ex offer to maybe take me out, but of coarse I never heard from him and so I was left without having any kind of answer as to what I was gonna do that night. Well......I stayed home and watched tv. yay :(

Sunday, July 4th, was a much better day. My family made me a little dinner celebration and I decided to wear a dress to my own party because I never go out and never get the chance to dress up...Plus it's my party, and I can play dress up if I want to hahah! My mom made fajita, BBQ chicken, rice, beans, potatoe salad, and there was cake and fruit salad. To say the least, it was a hell of a feast. But food makes me happy, so I was ecstatic! I was also the only one dressed semi-dressy so I felt out of place (as is normal) but I still liked my dress so I kept it on. I even made myself a floral crown, geeezzz I'm such a little girl. I felt special though LOL.

Cause I AM "special" !

Anyways, it was a good time. Alot of my family members were there to eat and talk about anything of interest, usually gossip. My family is so nosey and are always informed of all that is happening in each others lives. Yeah, that sucks when your trying to keep a relationship secret. LOL, well after all my family members left, I spent time with a newly special person. I ate so much that day, food and cake, rest and talk with family, gossip and laugh, and more food and cake. It was a blast! LOL. All in all, it was a good time to be had!

AVENTURA!

Friday night, July 2, 2010 was the big night when me and my niece (in the pic on left) went to see Aventura live! Any latin women out there know what a big deal Aventura is and especially how desired Romeo is. Let me tell you...he is YUMMY!
We thought maybe there would be an opening act, but with the exception of one song by a diff. artist, Aventura played the whole set, nearly 2 hours. They played all their hits and it was crazy how everyone in the crowd knew the words and sang along. My niece and I even stood up several times and bounced and made stealth dance moves along to the music. LOL we couldn't help it, its Aventura! Everyone was in party mode. Even the guys. Yes we did see several guys there, some with their girlfriends/wives, and a few who went with some other guy friends. It is so freaking cute that they dress up all formal and modern. We saw two young latinos wearing white button up dress-shirts, a tie, and a black vest. Yeah, they were looking hot. It is awesome how Aventura is teaching men to dress to impress LOL. Romeo also was giving advice to the men in the crowd, saying how they need to care for their women and give them compliments on how they are looking because apparently the crowd was looking very good from where he was (its because I was in the crowd, LMFAO J/K J/K). He also told guys never to take a girl back who has cheated and same for girls not to forgive any infidelity in men. Ohh the wisdom!

And I know know why he always has those little saying in his songs saying "I'm a bad boy" or "sooo nasty". He is such a bad boy, I love him even more now. Through out the show, he kept saying lil bad words mixed in with his statements. It made him seem more "real" and natural speaking. Also, he is very sexual and not afraid to say to the men in the crowd that altough they are going home with their girl, those girls are gonna be thinking about Romeo. Again...TRUE! LOL.

Video of "Por un segundo"

(the video is shaky because I was grooving/shaking to the music LOL)

"Dile al Amor"

(I realized later that my singing of the chorus was captured on the audio..lol)

"Su Veneno"


Also, a moment worth mentioning, is when he brought up a chubby girl up to the stage and said that he wanted to try and dance like Usher for her and give her a private dance. He sat her on the stairs on the stage and commenced to grinding up on her and air humping her. OMG the girls in the crowd went wild with envy, myself included HaHaHa! Then he gave her a kiss at the end, on the lips! and she grabbed his ass! LOL, yeah I dont blame her.
here is video I took of that:

ROMEO is Soooo Nasty!

Well..over all... it was a night worth remembering! Great music, cute guys, great music, and cute guys LOL!

Warped Tour 2010!

Ahhh the yearly Warped Tour that always kicks my ass in the end but is always worth while. This year, Hurricane Alex was providing rain and wind for the show in San Antonio. The morning was pretty nice and cloudy and not too hot, but it quickly began to rain...HARD. And its a rain or shine show, so the bands that were scheduled to play had to keep playing or cut their line up short. There were plenty of kids still out in the rain, many with ponchos, very stylish! LOL. But many hundreds of people were still out and about in the rain as if it was no big deal. Now this year, the event was at the ATT center and featured the mainstage actually inside in the venue. So as you would imagine, alot of the people just stayed inside and watched the bands on the main stage. The stages that were outside probably had smaller crowds because of the rain, but it's understandable. Luckily the majority of the bands I wanted to see were on the main stage inside, so I was keeping dry for the majority of the day.

The first band I saw was Dilinger Escape Plan which is a hardcore band so I stayed far from the moshing pits. I then stayed inside to catch Motion City Soundtrack. I hadn't heard from them in a while so it was good to hear their music again and hear the new stuff. They really did put on a good show. Links to the video of them singing

"Everything is Alright"

"The Future Makes Makes Me Nervous"


I then saw Andrew W. K which was one huge party. For real, most of his songs have to do with partying, which I have no point in arguing. Who doesn't like a party! His music is so energetic that it gets the blood pumping and yes, I was bouncing around like a crazy woman. At one point Andrew jumped off the stage and was right in front of me, but everyone behind me was pushing forward and squished me.




Then I went outside, and it was raining like crazy. But I put my hoodie on and ventured out to the stages. I saw Anarbor and a few other bands I didn't know who they were, but after about a half hour I went back inside. There I saw the Bouncing Souls really close up to the stage.



After those fans left, I found my way up front against the barricade for the next performers, The All American Rejects. Again, I used to be a fan of this group back then and was wanting to see them perform their hits and their new songs too. It was worth the wait for them to set up, I can't complain, there were Oompa Loompas dancing to keep us entertained!


Then when the Rejects played their set, the crowd behind me was huge. I was taking video, always watchful for crowd surfers, I had dodged a few kicks. It was pretty tame, but still a very good show.

The All American Rejects "Gives You Hell"


"Swing Swing"


"Dirty Little Secret"


"The Last Song"


"Move Along"


Only bad thing is that I was right in front of the speakers and my ears were buzzing all the remainder of the day and Friday. I had to leave early though, and missed some of the more anticipated groups. But I had seen enough to keep me satisfied. All in all, despite the rain, it was a really good show and much fun to be had. There were people from all ages and all cliques, it was quite beautiful. Warped Tour 2010! WOO HOO!!

Tito el Bambino 06/25/10

LIVE AT SUNSET STATION IN SAN ANTONIO 06/25/2010

(the opening acts)

I went to this Smirnof Ice sponsered event with my 17 year old niece. We got there about an hour early and still had to wait outside in line to enter the venue but it wasn't that bad. The weather was horrible hot and humid. Even though it was an outside venue, having everyone huddled under the Lone Star Pavilion roof caused it to get hot and sweaty quick. We were near the front stage so we had a pretty good view. Only bad thing was there was no good stage lighting, it was all dance effects directed towards the crowd and not on stage. By the time Tito El Bambino took stage it was around 10 pm and pitch black. You could see him on stage, but there were times where he could disappear into the shadows LOL. Hence the dark pictures...and also the sunglasses? IDK must be a rock-star thing. Overall he put on a really good show and my niece and I sang along to all the songs. A couple of ghetto Mexicans were almost getting into a fight with some Puerto Ricans and we all thought it was about to go down, but I guess they just kept drinking their beer and settled for verbal attacks rather than physical. One girl did faint though, I don't really know if it was due to the heat or from seeing Tito. FUN NIGHT!!! I had fun!!!
