MAMI's day!

Today is Mother's Day, a day to recognize and celebrate the most important woman in many people's life..their mother. A person's mother is sacred. She is always perfect in our eyes, and even if you dont have the best of relationship with her, you have to at least realize that you are here on this earth because of her...and for that she must be celebrated.

I love my mom. We're very close and have a close friendship, but I love her most for everything she has done for me and my siblings and for always being there to protect and guide us through our life, and above all for having Love for us always. I am lucky to still have both my parents with me, and I hope my mother knows just how important she really is to all our family.

The day started off with us my parents, my brother, my sister, 2 nieces and I went to the early mass followed by going out to eat at a local mexican restraunt. It was good times, good company and good food, so no one was complaining :)

Then in the afternoon, like for every holiday/event/birthday party, all our family gets together at my parents house and celebrate whatever occasion it is. I felt bad that my mom was cooking, but for real...she hates to have anyone else in the kitchen and even tells us to get out if anyone tries to help her with the main dishes. She's stubborn and she wants her way, but aren't most moms like that..LOL...Anyways she made carne guisada and rice and beans....and it was yummy.

Since most of my immediate family was there (parents, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews) I took the opportunity to take some family pics. These first few pics are of my mother and my sisters and I. All of my sisters are older and have their own kids too. I'm the youngest of them all and the one who has yet to get married nor has any children. I'm very much so the one lagging behind, but mehhh I'm in no rush :) Anyways, they all had their kids there too (my nieces/nephews) all ranging in ages from 6 to 22. These are the guys in the family with my mom, minus one brother and the step-brothers. Then the pic with the young girls, minus a few other nieces and my sisters and I.

It's always a good time when everyone gets together and just be ONE UNIT. I know my mom loves to have everyone near and so do I. Anyways, this mother's day was a good one. Technically...since my mother is Mexican, and May 10th is the official Mother's Day in Mexico, we should be celebrating tomorrow. Heck I'm all for another party, but people work and kids have school so it works out just fine. Mother dearest got some good presents too. I bought her a purse and a skirt since she doesn't usually spend money on herself. I better see her using them and not stored in a closet somewhere LOL. But she looked happy so I was happy as well.

TE AMO PARA SIEMPRE MAMA!

Y GRACIAS POR TODO LO QUE HAZ HECHO!

last night !

Last night I went to this latin night club Noche Caliente with my friend Maria (http://txlovelifeandfashion.blogspot.com/) to see DJ FLEX live. I had never been there so I didnt know what to expect but it was a cool place I guess. We got there RIDICULOUSLY early, kinda my fault cause I thought the concert was gonna start earlier but as it turns out it didnt start til midnight....Oops sorry Maria XD. I'm not much of a club-er or party-er so I just sat at our table, but still...fun times. It was kinda slow early on, but I guess as more people got loose or just buzzed, more people were dancing around. Reggaeton and cumbia and bachata all mixed. Latinos sure do know how to shake the bootay I'll tell you that. Hahaha. I kinda wish I had someone "special" to hang out that night with but ohh well I'm used to it by now. The music was enough to entertain me for the night. I usually DONT dance, but I sneaked in a few lil head bobbs and mini stealth grooves to the music LOL. I'm slowly but surely coming out of my shell. I even had a drink, a girly drink, but still it was something. DJ FLEX was really good too, I love his music and I'm glad I got to see him in person :) His whole theme to his songs is "romantic style in da world" so they are all love and romance oriented. "Te Quiero" "Te Amo" "Besos de Amor" and so on. When your in love, you feel so connected to the songs, but when your heart-broken it kinda stings to hear those songs and remember your past love. But then you just look at the hot cutie latinos on stage and then you feel good again LOL ;) All in all, it was a fun night, and Maria you and your husband are so funny and cute together. You should let him join you in your pictures since he loves to come out in the background of other peoples' pics LOL. But for real, I had a good time and I'm glad we went. Your a blast, we gotta do it again sometime!

LOS suns!

I just wanted to make note of the Phoenix Suns who have decided to wear their "LOS SUNS" latin jerseys for tonight's game 2 against my San Antonio Spurs. Its a clear message in support of the latin community there in Arizona and I think alot of people are gonna be commenting on it, whether it be good or bad. The new immigration law that was signed into law in Arizona is somewhat of a hot topic right now. I for one, understand both sides of the argument and know the urgent need for some sort of immigration reform, but this law caught us all off guard and its tough, discriminating, somewhat legal-racial profiling nature of the law is what turns me against it. How can you honestly know who is suspect of being an illegal without making assumptions and racially profiling the person. Yes there are many illegal immigrants in Arizona who do need to be dealt with, but in terms of helping them to either become legal or at least put them into some sort of system that would track them and their activities. There are also many legal Mexican-Americans who even though they are legal, look and talk just as the illegals do. There are bound to be issues with civil liberties in carrying out the new law. How can you not mistake someone who is legal with the ones who are not. I myself am a product of illegal immigration. My parents came here illegally from Mexico nearly 30 years ago, but they were given the chance to become legal after many years of hard work and now they are here legally. That is what we need. We cannot deny that the illegals that already do work in the US help our economy more than we realize. We need to help those who are already here to become legal, and make it easier for those wanting to come here legally. As for the illegal drug lords and criminals, boot their ass out and let them rot in their own countrys' jails. LOL this is where I can be attacked by saying how can you boot them out if you dont look for them and question their legal status like the new law says. Well its a work in progress, but thats why we need a national immigration reform to help define all these categories and make guidelines on how to deal with it all. Im just saying it would be best to help the genuinely hard working illegals to become legal which has worked for my family in the past so why not now.

Geezzz, I sure can ramble on about nothing and end up with such a vague conclusion LOL. It started off as a comment about some basketball jerseys and went on and on about a vague idea...wow...ok enough for now...

ohh and by the way.....GO SPURS GO!

new style? LOL

Sooooo...how is this for a new hair style?

LMFAO!!!

I was bored and goofing around with the web cam, but I think I look young enough to maybe get into the movies at a discounted price...dont you think LOL.

clubbing...alone?

I have a lil bit of a dilemma. I really really wanna go to this latin concert to see DJ FLEX on cinco de may (tomorrow) but its gonna be at this night club Noche Caliente. I have never been there, nor any club. I don't have anyone who would go with me, so my issue...shall I dare to go alone. I've been to concerts alone before, but this is a whole different scene. It's kinda wierd (and dangerous?) for a single girl to be alone in a room full of drunken latinos dancing around...isn't it?? LOL, IDK....what do I do

dumped as a friend

So I met this guy online who is in my city and seemed like a cool guy to be friends with. I was clear that I wasn't looking for a BF and just was looking to make friends, and he understood, or at least I thought so. He was nice and funny too, so when he asked me to go see a movie with him I agreed. This was thursday night, saw the midnight screening of Nighmare on Elm Street (good movie by the way, but not scary enough for me. I was semi laughing throughout the movie, he was a lil scared though LOL) Anyways, after the movie we talked for a few minutes outside and then we each went our own way. I thought, wow I have a friend in the city I can finally just hang out with. But friday afternoon he asks me what I thought of him. I said that he was a nice person but not the type I would date, but that I'd like to have him as a friend like we had talked about. Well, he said "Thanks for the honesty, I appreciate it...I'm not looking for a friend but it was very nice to have met you and good luck in all your endeavors :) Have a good night and take care "

I was surprised, how can someone at first say its cool to be friends, then turn around and say they don't even want that. WOW, is this what the dating game is like. I dont really have much experience, but it is really that difficult to be friends with someone of the opposite sex. This is literally like the 5th time (2 actual relationships, and the rest possibilities but never actually realized) that someone "dumps" me as a friend saying they don't wanna be friends afterwards, or say they will but dont really. GEEEZZZZ :(
I have one more "friend" that I still have hope in, but I'm not gonna give my hopes up.
