Recap, PT. 2

SPRING BREAK 2010! I wanted to make it worth my while!!! I wanted it to be a spring break to always remember! I wanted to go to as many new countries I could possibly go. When I say “new” I mean new in terms of “new” for me, countries that I had not been to. In 2007 I went to Italy, France and England so I for sure did not want to go there, and almost all the other students were going to go to those countries. I'm so glad when I heard that Doug was going to Germany, the Czech Republic and Austria! I literally shrieked “I want to go! Let me go with you please!!” Let's see we went to Munich, Prague and Vienna. I left on a Thursday to Munich on my own because it was way more cheaper to do so. Doug was to arrive on Friday and we were supposed to meet up. When I arrived to Munich I had to take a shuttle to the city center to get to my hostel. OMG, I had the hardest time finding the hostel and it was really embarrassing walking around with luggage! I had given up and was walking to where all these taxis were but then I saw a shop that said “Munich Information” and I decided to go in and ask for help to where my hostel was. The hostel was literally across that street and I was 2 minutes away from it!!! I felt so dumb!!!! I got to my hostel and it seriously was like a full blown hotel with like 10 stories!!!!! When I got to my room I changed clothes into more casual stuff and went to go look for lunch. I bet you can't guess what I had for lunch...KEBAB!!!!!! I swear there are so many Turks in Germany!!! Everywhere I looked I saw them and a Kebab restaurant!!! Turks are like the Mexicans in the West Coast!!! Kebab is fast food!! I love it!!! I went back to my room and met this girl from Argentina. We then decided to roam around in Marienplatz and see the old church. It was unbelievable!!! Then for dinner I had the best sausage, it was called a currywurst. It was smothered in curry along with the fries and it discovered my love for curry! Doug was supposed to arrive on Friday and we were hoping that our phones would be able to work, but stupid HAPPY MOVIL is a piece of SHIT. They said if our accounts had more than 30 euros they would be able to work in another country, WELL THEY DIDN'T!!!! I'm so glad I had given him my hostel information and had told him that meeting at my hostel at 1 in the afternoon would be perfect! It was unbelievable because he literally walked in the lobby at that time!!!! Those following days in Munich were great, we had great food and visited nice museums. The Hofbrau House was the coolest place, I had so much German beer!! It was so nice seeing that environment and realizing that it was a place where people have hung out for such a long time! Even Hitler spent time there!! I loved seeing the men in their German outfits and hearing German music played live!!! I had the best pretzels I've ever had there!! I will definitely go there if I ever go back to Munich!! I also went to the Dachau concentration camp which was so deep and intense. I never imagined that I was going to ever visit a Nazi camp! It was definitely an experience, a very solemn one at that. Through out the whole day I was just feeling down; it really weighed me down.
Prague was such a nice town. It is rumored to be the nicest city in Europe. It really was an incredible place to visit. I picked the best hostel because it was situated in the Old town. I was really nervous to get to my hostel because I was supposed to walk there by myself. But, it was so easy getting there it literally took me like 10 minutes of less!!! I was so glad that I had gone on google maps and given myself directions with streets. I saw pictures of the streets and wrote down certain establishments that I would have to turn left or right at. That was the best decision I made because I saw every single store and I would have a little victory dance when I saw the store in person like on the picture!!! My hostel was really close to the Old Plaza where the Astronomical clock was and that was really cool!! I met up with Doug and we went all over the place, we went to bridge and up to the palace and castle. There were a bunch of Italians everywhere like literally every Italian left Italy and landed in Prague!!! Anyways, we found the best restaurant ever!!! Thanks to Doug's book, we discovered the greatness of Kolkovna!!!!!! It was so good and so unbelievably inexpensive!!!! I had so much food, soup a dish and a desert and drink for less than 20 dollars!!! I would have never gotten that in Spain!!! The quality of the food was amazing!! Plus, uff, the waiters were sexy!!!! The best was asking the waiter for some ranch to which he gave the funniest look, like “what the hell is ranch?!” haha but I pointed to the container and he got it haha I felt so silly! We visited a lot of synagogues including the oldest in all of Europe and the nicest the Jerusalem synagogue! The Charles Bridge is so beautiful, I wish I could have seen it and night and in the summer! I really enjoyed Prague and I'm definitely going to go back!
Vienna, Vienna, Vienna! I stayed with my friend Verena at her flat. I slept on the comfiest couch and she actually bought me breakfast for the duration of my stay and gave me dinner! I didn't expect her to be so hospitable! She bought me Nutella, which she had remembered how obsessed I was with it 3 years ago on our trip. So much happened in Vienna, good and bad!!!! It started off badly to be honest!!! I got pickpocketed!!!!!! NO!!!!!!! IT was the suckiest feeling and i couldn't stop thinking about it!!!! I didn't lose that much it was just the fact that it happened to me was what i was upset about!!! I tried to forget about it and i kinda did. Vienna was my favorite city of them all! It was so beautiful, both palaces were incredible and all of the RING was spectacular!!! My favorite was the Danube River!! It IS as blue as everyone says!!! I'm so glad that I dragged Doug with me to see it because he wasn't planning on it!!! Haha i jumped on these trampolines set up over the river, they were the shit!! I'm so glad i did them!!! Vienna, i love you!!! PS the best drink is the Gussler RADLER!!!!!

RECAP on April Pt. 1

I CANNOT believe we're in MAY already!! I want to recap on the last month! APRIL APRIL APRIL was seriously the best month and the most jam packed and busy month I have ever had in my life!!!! I had no idea that I could travel so much. From beginning to end, I had the most amazing time!! I can't believe I did all those things that I did and that I had enough time to do them!!! 30 days doesn't really seem like a long time but apparently it was long enough and open for a lot of room! Lets see what I did in April...i went to PORTUGAL!!!! I had absolutely the greatest time in Portugal!!! Both Porto and Lisbon were the greatest cities in my opinion!!! Porto had the best food I've ever had in Europe, the francecinha is the greatest dish in the world!!! Granted its a heart attack in a plate, but who cares!!! Let me try to explain it, its like a giant sandwich, its filled with sausage, steak, and ham. Then its smothered with tomato sauce and melted cheese and served with a huge load of fries!!! I had it two days in a row and I'm surprised I'm still alive hahaha. The river Duoro is such a beautiful river and the bridge designed by Eiffel is amazing! Lisbon of all the cities really touched me and changed my life!! It was absolutely a magical time for me!!!! I left my heart in Lisbon, it was so hard for me to leave the barrio of Alfama. I cried for like an hour on the train and when I was back in Madrid I was sad for a few days that I had left and how much I wanted to have stayed!!!! I absolutely adored Barrio Alto and the people there!!! It was the smallest street but it was jammed packed with people drinking!! It was so fun and memorable!! The best bar/club in the strip was the Club Caribe!!! My friend is the DJ there and we got free drinks. Shout out to DJ EL MATADOR, the coolest and best DJ in all of Lisbon!!! I miss him so much!!!! I miss all the people from our hostel, Alfama Patio hostel!!! ah, its making me so sad just looking back and remembering!! I really wish I could move to Portugal!! The guys were so unbelievably hot and rugged, just how I like them. Of course Ronaldo is from Portugal, so they produce sexy men!! "Sometimes I just find myself sitting back and reminiscing..."

i want a piercing!!!!!!

i want a little stud on my nose!!! its looks cute and everything, a bunch of girls got one and it looks fabulous on them!!! i want to have something to remind me that i was in madrid, something kinda permanent!!! haha i kind of want my parents to freak out! They're probably going to get mad but its not like im going to get the giant ring that goes through both my nostrils!!!! Plus, its not like its going to be a tattooo!!! My older sister has 3 giants suns on her back, so my dad can't tell me nothing! PLUS, if anything it can close if i take it out for a while!!!

movies!

there are so many i want to see! i cannot wait til im back in the states where i have friends that work at the theaters and that can get me in for free whenever i ask them!!!! Also, i miss the DOLLAR THEATER!!!!! I CANT WAIT FOR ECLIPSE AND WAITING IN LINE FOR THE MIDNIGHT SHOWING!!! WOW, IM SUCH A DORK!!!!

summer school?

um should i just do it? IM GOING TO BE BORED OTHERWISE!! i want to do something fun but i don't like that i have to buy a parking permit and waste gas going every single day to school!!! plus, i like sleeping in every morning!! hmmmph i guess i shouldn't do it then. ill just chill or something.

shit, i need a job.

i really really really need a job when i get back to the states!!! i mean otherwise i would be bored all summer!!!!!!! I need to preoccupy myself or i'm going to pull out my hair!!!! I've never had a job sadly and i really want one!! I feel like a bum without a job!!! My parents, especially my dad, always always tells me!!!!! WELL I APPLY, but they for SOME reason DONT HIRE ME!!! They have never even called after i drop my application off!!! What's wrong with me!!!! I haven't committed a crime ever so why do have something against me!!!!! I fill it out perfectly!!!! Everytime i don't get hired from a company i don't go to that establishment and give them money!!!! I don't go to See's Candies, i don't go to Corner Bakery, i don't go to Jamba Juice and i definitely don't go to Target!!!!!!!!! Screw it, right now, thank God, i don't really need a job. I go to school and by that alone i get grants from the government that are pretty nice!!! Whenever i get yelled at by my dad to get a job that im a loser and everything i yell at him that i GO TO SCHOOL!!!! I"M A FULL TIME STUDENT AND I GET ALL A's IN MY CLASSES!!!!! SOME PEOPLE THAT WORK DON"T GO TO SCHOOOL!!!!!! AT LEAST IM DOING SOMETHING WITH MY LIFE!!!!!!

foood!

i love my host mom's food that she makes me with all her love and affection! seriously, its what i look forward to everyday!!! i hate that Spaniards eat so late though!!! grrr!! that's actually the noise my stomach makes because i have to wait so long til i get some grubb!!! AHH!!! I'm so used to eating dinner at like 5 or 6 in the afternoon and then not eating at all and then going to the gym to burn it off at 9!!!!! Ugh, i miss my mexican food so much!!!!!!!!!!! i miss my tortillas and my frijolitos and my queso fresco and my tostadas and queso fresco!!!! I miss constantly putting salsa on everything and guacamole with chips!!!! I miss my dad's friend's pozole and egg salad!!! I miss being 5 minutes away from Albert's and having super carne asada fries with a medium sized Horchata that is freazing cold!! Then walking next door to mcdonald's at having a mcflurry!!!! I miss all my deliciously nutritious cereals!!! I miss having non-fat milk!!! I miss costco food, especially the pizza!!! The pizza out here sucks!!!! I miss chinese food from HO HO CHINA!!!! I miss soup from Panera and Corner bakery!!!!! AND I DEFINITELY WITHOUT A DOUBT MISS INN N OUT HAMBURGERS AND THEIR ANIMAL STYLED FRIES AND MILKSHAKES!!! OH OH OH I MISS SUBWAY AND THEIR 5 DOLLAR FOOTLONGS!!!!!!!

MEXICO!

im sorry!!!!!

Please God, all i ask for is that golden ticket!!!!!

College soccer players

just you wait til im skinny and hott and i go to your games!

SO FAR!!!!!/ODE TO THE METRO

30 minutes on the metro! 10 stops, 1 change of line, god i hate it!! Why do I have to live so far from everything and everyone!!!! My home-stay apartment seems to be on the other side of the world well haha at least in Madrid!!!! I seriously have to give myself an extra hour to get to both places. Just to one place it takes 30 minutes which sucks!!!!!!!! the metro is so annoying like you have to go down these stairs take out your ticket, wait in line to pass your ticket walk all the way to where your line is wait for the metro to come, and then go on the metro and fight for your life for a seat haha well I don't really mind standing but for thirty minutes it does start to bother me at times. It bugs me when people who are young sit down and don't get up and give their seat to an older person!!! why are they so rude here! Well its not just here its this whole generation of young people that have lost their respect for their elders. Another thing that annoys me are how much the people on the metro stare!!! Seriously don't they know that staring is rude!!! I guess not, I must have forgot that Europeans are just plain RUDE!!!! Whatever, I guess I'm used to all the staring eyes now!!! They must not be able to handle my style!!! I'm too much for them! Another thing that I hate is how packed it gets at times!!! OMG, I swear its like a can of sardines! People just push you all the way to the back and you get claustrophobic and you can't breathe at times. To make manners worse, some guys don't wear deodorant. I close my eyes to make the time pass quicker!!!! Every time we get to a new metro station I pray that people get off!!! The worse thing in the world is having to get off the metro at the next stop and you are all the way in the back in front of so many people!!!! I've had to do it a couple of times already and I seriously yell, “PERMISO, PERMISO!!” I get a panic attack whenever I'm in that situation, that's why I like to stay on the side of the door because I can jump out whenever I please and I don't have to bother anybody!!! Same thing with planes, I have to be on the aisle because I hate asking for people to move when I have to use the restroom, it seriously petrifies me!! I can't wait til I have my car, my spacious little car where I can get to places in a jiffy!!!!

yo smell nasty boy!!!

DEODORANT, HAVE YOU GUYS EVER HEARD OF IT OVER HERE???!!!! OMG OMG OMG, WHY DON"T PEOPLE USE DEODERANT OVER HERE?????!!!!! DO THEY NOT SELL IT?????!!!!!

OH GOONERS! :/

ay ay ay, my poor arsenal. Oh my team, oh my poor english team from North London, oh woe on you Arsenal! It's the same thing, every year that goes by, you always choke towards the end, and you tank. You give your fans so much hope and illusion and then you crash their dreams. You haven't won anything in like 7 years! NOTHING!!! The league was the last you won and that was in like 2003. You always start off so good, you even go on top of the league but for some unfortunate reason one of your players get injured and the Whole TEAM loses their passion for the game as if reason for playing has been lost. You always get eliminated in the early rounds of the Champions league, the last time you made it to the final you lost to Barcelona which was in 2005. I can clearly remember last year's league when Eduardo got injured and then went down hill!!! You started losing to shitty teams and not performing to your level!!!! It's so frustrating and heartbreaking to watch!!!! You have great players on your team but why do you freak out when one gets hurt? You are still an amazing team even if Van Persie gets hurt!!!! This season it was him in the beginning and then towards the end it was Fabregas, the captain. You all play beautiful football, The professor, Arsene Wenger has taught you well, but you always lose the lead in your games to teams that are in the relegation zone which is ridiculous!!!! How the hell do you lose to Blackburn, explain that to me?!!!! Everybody thinks Arsenal is a joke and they are not men, but boys!!!! Everything was great when Henry was there, everyone respected the Arsenal, but now, its the opposite!!! All my Chelsea friends love to taunt me and laugh at me and I hate how they disrespect you Arsenal!!! Please, please pull your shit together and start performing to your potential!!! Arshavin you are an amazing player, get your focus on and don't start talking about playing for Barcelona when you haven't done anything great for Arsenal!!! And lastly, dear Arsene Wenger, stop being so damn stingy with the club's money and buy buy buy!!!!!!!!!! If you don't buy, YOU DON”T WIN!!!!

Brasilians

If there is one group of people that i love most, its Brasilians!!!! They are probably the nicest people that you can meet! They are just happy and joyful all the time!!!!! They are definitely overfilled with alegria!!!! In addition to how they are as people in regards to their personalities, i have to mention that they are so unbelievably sexy and hot and lush and nice and delicious! OMG, the other day I met this Brasilian guy named Ricardo, whom I called Kaka' because that's Kaka's first name and he reminded me of him a little bit! He was so beautiful, he had light eyes and had the most amazing cheekbones and hair!!!! HE was really down to earth and i absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED the way he spoke spanish!!!!! Actually all Brasilians who speak Spanish sound amazing when they do it! I dont know why, but they sound so sexy, i think its because i've heard all the sexy brasilian soccer players that play in spain speak spanish and it automatically becomes sexy and amazing to hear others speak it like them!!! Well since Brasil has soooo many races, they are so mixed that black people are brasilian too, i guess i must specify which Brasilian guy tickles my fancy!! I'm talking about the lighter ones that have blue eyes or green eyes that come from europe i guess because a lot of italians and germans went to brasil after the war. Yeah, the guy Ricardo that i met has an english last name and this other Brasilian guy that i met on an airplane was half english and he was the sexy mothereffer i have ever met in my life and actually had a nice conversation with. I'm still in contact with him on facebook, its legit!!! He's 30 but he looks like he's 26, OMG GEORGE is the hottest!!!! Anyways, another Brasilian that i adore plays soccer for Stanford and his name is Thiago. The only downfall is that he is short, which i have seen Brasilians have in common: lack of height. BUT WHO CARES, THEY"RE STILL SEXY AND I LOVE THEM!!! I CANT WAIT TO GO TO BRASIL!!!!!! :)

Splain!!!!!!!

yo yo yo please someone explain to me how it works, im talking about music festivals dawg. I've never been to any, like Coachella which is supposed to be the sickest thing to go to. Anyways, one day 30 artists um that sounds fantastic! But like from what time to what time? Is it an all day all night sort of thing or what? Can you leave and come back???? I don't think I can stand on my feet all day!!!!!! I'd like to go to the beach which is right next to where the concert is going to be. I want to have a picnic with my friend, i think that would be totally awesome! Just think of it, jamming to all these cool artists and eating a delicious bocadillo and some chips and drinking a cold coke, that sounds amazing!!!!!!! And we can't forget the cookies!!!! That would be soo legitt!!!!! SO im listening to all these bands on myspace.com because myspace has legit music, myspace in itself as a place to network has become the new bootycall place to go. Before it was the shitt, i remember it was like 2004 and it was the best thing in the world, like I would go on everyday like crazy and i would try to find the coolest pictures and layouts for my site so that everyone would comment on it and everything. Wow, how time has passed since then... Now, its all about facebook and twitter. Isn't it funny that after a few years, sites basically die and so many people discover new trends of networking sites!!! I think its fascinating!!!! I wonder what the next big thing is going to be!!!! But anyways, going back to the artists, they are fricken amazing!!!! I seriously cannot wait to listen to them live and in person!!! There is this Mexican band named Cohete and they are incredible and im so happy to see this band from Mexico city in Barcelona!!!! Apart from them there are a bunch of bands, here is the lineup: »A Sunny Day In Glasgow »Beach House »Beak> »Best Coast»Black Math Horseman »CocoRosie »Cohete »Cold Cave »Condo Fucks »Diplo »Ganglians »Harlem »Here We Go Magic »Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions »Japandroids »Joker featuring Nomad »Junip »Les Savy Fav »Low performing "The Great Destroyer" »Major Lazer »Marc Almond »Mujeres »Nueva Vulcano »Owen Pallett (Final Fantasy) »Panda Bear »Pixies »Scout Niblett »Shellac »Spoon »Standstill »The Bloody Beetroots Death Crew 77 »The King Khan & BBQ Show »The New Pornographers »Thee Oh Sees »Wilco »Wild Honey »Wire »Yeasayer

MISSIN'

uh now that i think about it, i do miss a lot of things while i've been in europe!!! let's see where to begin...
I MISS MY COMFY ABODE!!!!!!!! Although, my homestay apartment is quite fantastic, i still miss my kitchen and having the freedom to eat whatever i want, WHENEVER i want!!!! I miss my messy room!! I miss my ipod and my ihome radio and blasting my music at any time of day and dancing like a fool!!! I miss all my cool sneakers and sandals and my TOMS!!!!! I miss all my cool clothes, like my sweaters and my jackets!! I miss my sequined leggings and sequined dress!!!! I miss my jewelry and my purses! I miss my blinds that COMPLETELY block sunlight from entering my room!!!! AH, thats probably what bothers me the most at my homestay!!!!!! I miss my room door that has all my vitamin water wrappers and beautiful kaka on it!!!! I miss my beautifully decorated walls with hot men all over!!! I miss HULU and GLEE, im so sad that i can't access hulu outside of the United States!!!! Glee was ONE of my reasons for getting through the week!!!!! Now it has become my homestay mom's cooking!!! Nothing beats bread smothered in olive oil!!!! OMG! Back to what i miss...I MISS chilling out on my parents' queen sized bed!!!! I miss my TV!!! I miss my turtle Cutie!!!!! I miss my little car Messi!!!!! I miss my gym, oh HOW I MISS 24 hour fitness!!!!!!! I miss all the people that work there and work out there!!!! I miss working out next to my mom on the cool treadmills!!!! I miss making fun of all the guys on steroids ahahaha! I miss doing my hulahoop at home at random times during the day!!! I miss fast food, and things being open late!!!!!!! There is NOTHING you can eat late at night!!!! It sucks!!!! Its probably better that you don't eat high calorie foods late at night when you don't burn them off, but sometimes its NICE to have that option!!!!!! I miss my little sister telling me her problems with her friends at school!!! I miss my mom yelling and freaking out about small things! I miss my dad yelling for no reason!!!! I miss my dad eating his "pepitas" and yelling at me if i touch them hahaha!!! I miss COSTCO!!!!!!!! OMG, i miss costco so much, its not even funny!!!! I miss going sample tasting, i miss checking out all the hot guys that pull carts in the parking lot!! I miss the delicious cheap hotdog & coke combo!!!!! I miss going to costco right after church on sundays!!!! I miss my huge church!!! I miss getting to the service late and having all these people look at you as you walk down to the front aisles!!!! I miss my choir director norman and his jokes and funny laugh! I miss my choir friends andrea, rachelle and roy!!!! I miss trader's joes and their rice cakes and delicious hummus!! GAH!! I miss hummus and 7 layer dip!!!! I miss my gay friend Laken and his obsession with purple!!!! I miss raiding Nordstrom Rack and getting yelled at by my mom for getting more shoes!!!!! I miss all my mexicans and talking with them at Northgate!!!! I miss my city, my county, my SOCAL weather!!!!!! I'm happy to be going back home in June instead of August like i thought i was going to do!!

I don't know where to goo!!!!!!!!

for the last 3 weeeeks left in europe i don't know where to go!!! all i know is that i have to leave madrid! AHHHHHHH!!!!!! My time is runninggggg outttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THERE ARE SO MANY PLACES I want to go to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish that I could go everywhere or that I can extend my stay but I can't!!!!!! Gosh, I want to do so many things!!!!!! I want to go to the most countries possible just to set a record for how many countries visited in a certain amount of time!!!!!! For some reason, I don't know why, but I feel like its a competition between people in the group to see who can go the most countries in total!!!! I know its not right and Christian to think of it and want to be the only person to have visited that country and get mad if others say that they are going to visit themselves. Ah!!! I have to stop being so selfish and stuck up!!!!!! I don't know what gets into me, its the devil, I swear!!!!! Anyways, so I would like to go to Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland, Luxembourg (that would be a long shot) in addition to so many cities in Spain!!!!! My mom says that I should try and visit as many of the nicest/biggest/important cities in Spain. I have yet to visit Bilbao, Santander, Valencia, Barcelona, Mallorca, Cadiz, Malaga, Vigo, but I know I can't possibly visit all of these. This weekend I might try to squeeze in the region of Cantabria because the beaches are beautiful with beach and mountain wildlife next to each other!!!!!!! I know for sure that im not going to be able to go to Vigo, Cadiz, Malaga, Coruna, but I think I will be able, GODWILLING to go to Valencia from Madrid then to Mallorca and then finally to Barcelona, the biggest city on my list for sure and then come back to Madrid before heading back to CALI and the good ol' US of A!!!!! Those 3 cities are so close to each other in terms of getting on a ferry or a quick flight; they form a triangle on the map, which is really cool! Without a doubt, im the most excited for Barcelona!!!!! I'm going to stay there the longest, which im shooting for a week maybe!!!! I can't wait to see all of Gaudi's architecture, see the beaches, jam to the music, walk around in Park Guell, tour the CAMP NOU, chill in Las Ramblas and hear sexy boys speaking catalan, an exquisite and sophisticated blend of French and Spanish!!!!!! I am also looking forward to tasting their different food. 1 month from today i'm going back home, this is unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY CAN”T LIFE HAVE A SLOW DOWN BUTTON OR A PAUSE!!!! STOP THE WORLD, I WANT TO GET OFF!!!!!!!!!

FUCK YOU ARIZONA!!!!!!!! FUCK YOU JAN BREWER!!!!!!!!!

The day that the United States does not have an immigration problem is the day the US has lost the right to call itself or be a beacon of prosperity!!

yeah this is in response to the most racist legislation in the century!!!!! The official name of the bill is the Arizona Immigration Law SB1070 and it allows for racial profiling!!!!! This is unbelievable! My dad used to always tell me that in Arizona they were so racist, but i guess i didn't want to believe it! WELL HE WAS RIGHT!!!! They HATE MEXICANS!!!! If you don't want to believe it, just read the bill!!!! If the police suspect you of being an illegal alien, they will have the right to stop you and ask you for your papers. If you don't have them on you, they will put you jail!!!!!!!!!! BASICALLY, IF YOU LOOK MEXICAN, they're going to detain you!!!! WOW!!!!! They say that this is going to stop the drug problem, but its just bull shit i tell you!!! The drug dealers don't hang out in the open and they don't look like ordinary mexicans!!!!! It just pisses me off to hear people argue in favor of the bill. BLA BLA BLA, this is going to show those who come here illegally that they have to do it the legal and right way. DO THEY EVEN KNOW how HARD it is to get all your papers set?!!!!!!! THEY HAVE NO IDEA!!!! WHY ARE PEOPLE SO HATEFUL, DON"T THEY KNOW THAT ILLEGAL ALIENS MOW THEIR LAWN, TRIM THEIR GARDENS, PUT UP THEIR ROOFS, PAINT THEIR HOUSES, FIX THEIR LOCKS, AND PICK THE EFFIN' VEGETABLES THEY EAT EVERY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd like to see some white guy in the fuckin west coast sun for more than 12 hours a day picking away!!!!!!! They wouldn't last one hour!!!!! PLUS, THEY EXPLOIT THEM BY PAYING THEM LOW WAGES, FAR BELOW THE MINIMUM WAGE!!!!!!!!!! 2 dollars a day!!!!!! EXPLOITATION!!!!!!!! OH AND WHAT FOOD DO WHITE PEOPLE LOVE THE MOST, MEXICAN FOOD!!!!! FUCKIN' HYPOCRITES!!!!!! I WISH I WAS IN LOS ANGELES WHEN THEY HAD THE PROTEST/MARCH!!!! MY SISTER THERE SO AT LEAST I HAD SOMEONE SHOUT FOR ME AND SHOW SOLIDARITY!!!!!!!! I'm glad OBAMA says its unconstitutional!!!!! OH and NOW other states want to adopt similar policies!!!!! HYPOCRITES, JERKS!!!!

I have to do something scandalous before I leave!! REALLY?

“OMG, like I can't believe I have like 1 week left in Spain, I have to do something crazy and scandalous before I leave!!!!” REALLY???? Are you serious??? So just because your time in a foreign country is coming to an end means that you have to do something crazy before you leave?????!!!!! Explain to me why it makes a difference!!!! Like for example make out or have sex with random guys that you will NEVER see again in your life because you didn't even care to know his name!!!!! Is 5 minutes of pleasure with a stranger really going to make your trip longer??! Like as if by getting your freak on with someone you're going to be able to stay forever with that person and become his one and only!!!! IS that what really goes in your head???? What use to you is hooking up if you're going to leave????!!! I mean at least when you're back home, you live near each other and can be able to see each other often but NOT when you are separated by the Atlantic Ocean!!!!! I mean really, what the hell is the point to that???? I don't think it makes any sense because none of these guys take you seriously, I mean come on ladies, you're kidding yourselves if you really think something magical is going to happen and he's going to your spanish boy. I mean sex is for 2 people that love each other and know each other's wants, desires, aspirations and have things in common like married people!!!!! IT's not meant to be this cheap thrill, one night stand sort of thing!!!!!!! It's supposed to be a beautiful thing where two people's souls meet and go through a spiritual experience!!!!!! I mean sometimes when I would a hot guy in Europe I would think wow, how amazing would it be to be able spend some time alone with that dreamboat?!! But now that I think about it, because your leaving in a short amount of time, you won't see him and imagine giving him what he wants would only make one sadder because you would think back to that night and WISH you could relive it but you NEVER CAN. That's why its just better to observe from a distance a hottie, and not getting involved not into thinking that you are going to have a wild night that truly will fly by!!!!!!!!! SO ladies, just take it easy, there are plenty of boys back home! Just to be able to brag about one night of incredible sex?!!!! That's lame!! Get a boy that will ask you to be his one and only and that will devote himself to you and get close spiritually before anything physical, okay? Alright see y'all later!

Ladies listen up!!!!

this post is dedicated to all you ladies out there that LOVE to go clubbing and hate having to deal with unattractive and old men hitting on you every second you are dancing on the floor. First of all, let's take a look at your outfit and makeup. Let's see, you're wearing a short dress that BARELY covers your ass and makes your boobs pop out like crazy, maybe that's one REASON!!! Another reason is that you dance like a whore!!!!!!! You do all these dances moves that resemble a stripper going down a pole!!!! Of course all these men are going to flock towards you, hello!!!!!! And don't even act like you are bothered by it, you LOVE the attention!!!!!!!!! And then if you say you are freaked the eff out by all these old men then why must you agree in taking pictures with them?!!!!!!!! I would say HELL NO, get the eff away from me!!!!!! But once again, you love the attention, even if its coming from old balding me who are old enough to be your dad!!!! Goodness gracious, if only your DAD saw the way you dance and you dress!!!!!! I know SO many girls that dress so modestly around their parents and their parents believe they're daughters are little angels!!! HA! IF only they knew their daughters were having sex with a different guy every week!!!! WOW, that WOULD be an interesting discussion to listen to!!!!! The main reason that so many American girls want to come to europe is to hook up with european men, everybody knows that!!!! I mean how many REALLY study and care?!!! They get drunk every day!! Monday!! Europeans only party thursday through saturday!!!! AM I THE ONLY ONE that came to see what the world has to offer in terms of architecture and nature?!!!!!! Something is DEFINITELY wrong with today's youth!!

transformer!!!

Yeah so i don't know who named makeup what it is, but i feel that it should be called transformer because it completely transforms what a person looks like!!!!!!!!!! It is unbelievable how it can change someone's appearance!!!!!! Some girls they wake up without any makeup and they are freakin' scary bitches!!!! OMG!!!! But give them 2 hours of getting ready and OMG they are attractive!!!!!! HA if only they would go to the club without any makeup!!!!!!!!!! I am confident enough to say that i don't have to wear makeup to look beautiful, it is natural for me!!!!! The other girls that haven't been blessed with natural beauty have been forced to become good at putting on makeup and many are extremely talented in that area!!!!!! I wonder how popular these girls would be with guys if they didn't wear anything!!!!! They would have no game!!!!! Hahahaha, its pretty sad to think of it, that you HAVE to leave the house wearing so many products just to get someone to look at you!!!!! I am relatively new to the whole concept of makeup, i mean if i put anything on its lipstick, mascara and eyeliner, and it takes me 5 minutes. I applaud and admire these girls that can make their eyes pop and their skin shimmer and glow!!!!!!!!!! These girls spend SO much many on certain products getting the most expensive brands, which of course work the best. Brands like MAC, Bobbi Brown, Chanel, Yves St. Laurent, etc range from 50 and up!!! Crazyyyyy!!!! These girls are soooooo determined to look fabulous!!!!! And most of them are pretty fabulous for what they can do to themselves!! My friend is a M.A.C. artist and now i realize its such a legit job to have!!!!! NOT EVERYONE can be a makeup artist!!!!!! Honestly, i do wish that i could have some of their skills and expertise!!!!!

Should i go or should i not????

LADY GAGA NIGHT AT CLUB JOY! Should i goooooo or should i stay bored and NEVER go out clubbing in the city that never sleeps? I have a freeeeee passs that i got from a promoter at the school so I wouldn't have to pay the 12 euros to get in to the hottest club in Madrid. PLUS, i love GAGA and i LOVE dancing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dancing burns calories and I love doing anything to get rid of the calories that i consumed during the day!!! I wouldn't have been able to forgive myself if i hadn't gone to at least ONE club in my 3 month stay in Europe!!!!!!! It was such an experience!!!!!! I had my lovely friend Mandy, the M.A.C. artist do my makeup all crazy like Gaga and paint a lightning bolt on my cheek like Gaga does!!!! i WORE this wacky yet legit outfit because i thought that everyone was going to dress crazy like Gaga, which i was completely wrong about!!! Nobody got decked out for the occasion, which im starting to attribute to Europeans!!!! They aren't very bold, well especially in Madrid!!!!!!!!! The people are so boring, sheeeeeeeshhhhhhh & uptight!!!!!!!!! So i went to the club with the fabulous girls, the ones that get all dressed up to go throw the trash away even. I thought that they'd go into where all the hott guys go and dance near them but they don't!!!!! They stay in their little possssy and don't dare to separate because they are insecure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE TRUTH IS OUT!!!! You will never find them without the others!!!!!!! They dance with themselves which is kinda lame, there's no fun in that!!!!!! If I was as attractive as them i would not be shy to go towards the hotties and dance with them!!!! I mean thats the point in going clubbing right? Meeting and hooking up with sexy guys, that's why you spend so much time in getting ready and wearing the least possible and making sure your boobs are showing and everything...anyways, i had hard time with my heels, which was to no surprise because i had not worn them before and especially dancing when all the weight is on the front of your foot and toes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so glad that i brought my sandals and that they could fit in my cute purse because i don't know what i would have done without them. I am amazed at how long some girls can last with stilettos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, i mean, thinking about it, they're used to wearing heels because they've worn them for 5 years, all the time, so for them its not biggy! Also i must mention the fact that they are lighter on their feet, meaning if i were to lose 30 pounds, im sure my feet would last longer in heels, that would be without a doubt an issue!!!!!! Anyways, the music was fantastic and it was fun and all, i LOVE DANCING!!!!!! I want to go back because i have all these free fliers!!!!!

burps.

i think ive burped 1000 times since i had kebab for dinner, this sucks!!! NEVER eat a heavy meal on an empty empty stomach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a recipe for disaster!!!!!

ITS NOT JUST A GAME!!!!!

so the day that i never wished would had come came!!!!!!!!! the worst moment of my life!!!!! Barcelona lost to Inter and got eliminated from the champions league in the semi finals!!!!! The game was so bogus!!!!! I can't believe how well Inter handled Barcelona defensively although Barcelona had 75% possession throughout the whole game. But possession doesn't win you games, sometimes the damn ball just doesn't want to go into the damn net!!!!!!! That was the case for Barcelona, they had so many clear chances but the ball would miss the ball by an inch at times.Shucks!!! Plus, i don't understand how the hell they couldn't manage with the one man advantage!!!! Ridiculous!!! Lastly, the second goal that was disqualified/canceled was a perfectly fine goal!!! Effin' refereee, i swear, the refs are USUALLY in favor of the home team, everyone knows that!!! What the hell was wrong with that guy?!!!!! Anyways, the whole reason that i applied to buy a ticket to the champions league final was to see Barcelona win in Madrid at the Bernabeu and see Madrid light itself on fire since their most hated team were to win the most prestigious title in the world. That was my dream! MY DREAM!!! That's why i had no problem with spending more than 400 dollars on the ticket!!!! I was so confident that they would make it to the final and it was shattered by some dick named Jose Mourinho and his possy. EFFIN' prick that mourinho is!!! i used to be his biggest fan, omg how i loved the guy!! But now after how he taunted the fans changed my opinion of him! Now i understand why everyone hates him and thinks he's a douche!!! because he is!!!!!!! He is so arrogant, cocky and disrespectfuL!!!!!!!!! He doesn't deserve to win the final just because of his attitude!!!!! SO I PLEDGE ALL of my SUPPORT to BAYERN MUNICH!!!!!!! Makes sense because out of the two cities, i have only been to Munich, so of course id want them to win!!!!! It's been 9 years that Bayern Munich has been in the finals and they deserve it!!!! They have definitely been disregarded by many throughout the season and counted out by show of pure luck. But luck only plays out once, and they've kept winning and proving everyone wrong!!!!!! Good for them, another point for the underdog!!!!!! Arjen Robben is without a doubt going to be up for player of the year if they manage to win in Madrid!!!! He has definitely showed Real Madrid that they shouldn't have let him go and disregard him for others like Benzema, mentioning benzema who?!!! That's what im saying!!!! Arjen Robben's goal against Manchester United in the quarter finals has to be one of the most stunning goals i have seen in my years as a football enthusiast!!!!!! Another player that has really showed what he has to offer is Olic!!!!!! I mean up to this point I had never heard of him and now he is making headlines and what not!!! Way to go Olic!! I would love to see the Bayern coach win! He seems like such a nice down to earth and humble fellow!!!!!!! SO MAY 22 couldn't come any quicker, i hope to GOD that im able to go because this situation with my ticket is looking bleaker every day that passes by!!!!!!

180* Turn!

SO remember the last blog when i said that i wanted to stay til august for my cousin's wedding? WELL, NOW i've changed my mind!!!!! I'm weighing out the options and everything and taking things into consideration and now i think its not effffing worth it!!!!!!!!!!! First of all, staying would mean i would have to spend another 1,000 dollars on a new flight because stupid US airways doesn't allow you to change your flight if you've already flown the first way. SO LAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Reason number 2 why im not staying is all the money i would have to spend in staying with my host family longer. The rest of May and June would definitely add up and be a lot, and im not even guaranteed that Spain is going to win the world cup!!!!! shit, they'll probably choke like they always do! It's probably going to be Brasil. Third reason is that for July i would have to have stayed with my mom's friend in this shitty little town in France that nobody has heard of!!!!! I would have died of boredom because she doesn't even have internet or tv i bet!!!! She is really behind in the times because they barely got a stereo in their house! Plus, the time that i would have been there, her daughter which is my age, would not be at home, because she goes to school in Montpelier. I really wanted to be in Paris for the 14th of July, but whatever, ill go another summer! Fourth reason, i don't want to be paranoid the whole time because i don't have a visa and don't run the risk of getting in trouble and getting deported or something! Everyone says that nothing would happen but i don't want to run the effin' risK! Reason number five, i would be missing like a month of school, which is a lot of classes missed! I was going to get Padilla to excuse me and email other teacher's about it but im in HONORS and you can't miss class for sure with them!!! Reason number six, my MOM and family want me bacck!!!!!! And i realize 3 months is a while for them!!!! It might not be that long for me because ive been entertaining myself and seeing what the world has to offer so i understand them now when they say that august is too long!!!! 3 months without mexican food is wayyyyyyyy toooooo long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im surprised i've survived this long!!!!!! first thing im gonna do is eat supercarne asada fries and a huge cup of horchata!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes i can't wait for that!!! AND THEN GO TO THE GYM!!! HAHA. LAST REASON IM NOT STAYING FOR THE WEDDING IS MY COUSIN IS A BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She has always ignored me and NEVER shown any interest in getting to know me!!! She doesn't deserve my presence at her weedding!! I have my own dignity!!!!!! I would be ignored at the wedding and given dirty looks anyways!!! Now that i have thought about it good, FUCK IT! I would have missed my sister's 16th birthday and my dad's as well, and they are WAYYY more important and deserving of my presence and time than my cousin! THAT SETTLES THAT! IM COMING HOME JUNE 3rd!!!!!!!!!!!!! CALIFORNIA, La Habra, GET READY! MELISSA'S COMING BACK!!!!!
