SP

My best friend since fourth grade came to visit for four days. It wasn’t till I saw her that I realized how much I had missed her. Of course we still skyped ever since she left, which was a year ago, so she hasn’t missed much ever since. On Friday May 26, 2011, which was when she came to visit, she stayed at my house, and we talked about everything we could think of, we saw movies, and we took pictures. The next day we went to a party, and slepped over a friends house, and then on Sunday we went to another friend’s house, watched a movie, talked, ate and hanged out until 8:30pm which was when I took her to her hotel. However I didn’t know that, that was the last time I was going to see her after she went back home. We both thought we were going to see each other again one last time, but unfortunately we didn’t have the chance to. So now I’m missing her more than ever, since I didn’t have the chance to say good bye to her before she left. Hopefully she’ll come and visit again, or I’ll go visit her, since although its been a year since she last moved I can’t stand not seeing her anymore, and not being able to tell her my problems face to face.

Soul Surfer

Last weekend, on Sunday my friends and I hanged out and watched a movie called, Soul Surfer. It was about a girl who, ever since she was born loved the sea and wanted to become a professional surfer, since her parents, both of them, were great surfers. However over the years she accomplished her goal. Except for one day while she was with her friends, surfing, a shark ate her whole arm. At first she didn’t react to it, and didn’t mind missing an arm. But then she realized how important it was, and how challenging it became to surf. Therefor with practice she was able to make the challenge a daily routine, and learn how to live/surf with it. However, after watching this movie I felt the need to be great full for everything I had, since I’m the type of girl who doesn’t realize that there are many people out there who suffer for unimaginable things. I guess this movie and many movies exist to open our eyes and make us realize the importance of being able to live happy and learn from our mistakes, and be great full for the life you have.

Life Cycle

Wow it’s almost been a year, since the last time I saw my grandma and two years since I last saw my uncle. 2009-2010 were very intense summers, vacations, moments, and memories. I remember 2009 when my uncle ended up in the hospital and passed away on June 5^th the last week of school and then the year after, June 14 2010 while my parents, my sister and I were already in los Roques during vacation which were staying only for one night, we receive a call from my uncle saying my grandma had passed away. I had never gone through those sorts of moments in which you see everybody in your family sad, depressed, and laconic, but worst of all, happening two years in a row. I definitely wouldn’t want that to happen this year or the next or any time soon. I know someday we will all leave and go to a better place/paradise but for now I think it’s better to stay in planet earth. There are times when I wonder why it had to happen? Or at least why two times in a row? And why to the people I love? I wish I could at least see them once in a while so I don’t have the feeling that I’m going to forget them or that they are with me. I guess there is no way of controlling the way life is, and the way the life cycle works. 

Goodbye ninth grade Hello tenth grade

As the days go by, summer approaches. I can’t believe how my freshman year flew by so fast. Luckily we aren’t “planktons” anymore, like our ancient civ. Teacher would call us, and tell us we were on the bottom of the food chain. Now we are sophomores which make us a bit more special. Although I should be happy summer is coming in almost a week I don’t want school to end. I guess that being a freshman wasn’t that bad since the spotlight was always on us, and my grade became much closer. Also many of my closest friends are leaving, and I don’t think I can handle their goodbye on the last day of school; just thinking we might not see each other again makes me want to return to the beginning of ninth grade. Nevertheless the job of an international school is for people to come and go, although A LOT of my classmates and students will leave in almost a week hopefully in 10^th grade many people will come, and fill in the empty spaces. However another reason why I don’t want school to end is because finals are going to happen the last week of school. I remember that in middle school and in elementary the last week of school was fun, there was no homework, no tests, no projects, and no nothing. But once you reach high school the real work begins, dead week and finals. Sometimes I just wish time could go a bit slower. 

Heartache?!?

I had no idea, that one of my best friends was about to become something else, something that I desired, the person who I wished to be with. It is not like I wanted to be next to him 24/7 but I enjoy talking to him even though it wasn’t face to face, because it felt like we were, that’s how easy it was to talk to him.  Although it took a long time for me to admit that I actually liked him, it was worth the try to believe it.  Unluckily it didn’t last as long as I thought it would, I guess we were both very shy, I guess we were both better off as friends, and I guess we were both not supposed to last… who knows?  However even though it actually lasted about a week or two I don’t regret anything, I’ve probably never met and never will meet a guy as special and sensitive as him, I probably did a mistake, but whatever is said it’s done. Maybe we didn’t see each other as much and the feelings were confused for a friendly type of love. But ever since the beginning of out story, there’s been that sort of someone in the way, and I think it’s better off if we leave stuff like it is and I just step out of the way. 

JUST KIDDING!

What are Words- Chris Medina

What Are Words by Chris Medina is a song that reflects on what the composer is going through in his daily life. The composer, Chris Medina auditioned for American Idol this year, and the main reason why he wanted to at least make it to Hollywood was to make his fiancée happy. His fiancée and him have been engaged for almost three years, the reason why it’s been taking so long for them to get married is because she suffered an accident which made her go into a comma for over a month and ended up  with brain damage. The lyrics of the song, are very meaningful, they express how words are promises, which need to be kept. In his case, he kept the promise of them getting married, and he explains that “What kind of guy would I be if I was to leave you when you need me most”. Unluckily he wasn’t accepted in the top 25 in American idol but at least his fiancée was able to meet Jennifer Lopez, Randy and Steve, and she was able to see her fiancée try his best and do whatever it took to be part of the competition, just to make her happy and put a smile on her face. 

New Driver in the Family

Since October 2010, my older sister began college, here in Venezuela. Since she was becoming more and more independent, she began to learn how to drive. Over time, she felt the need of a car, or in other words my mom’s car. She wanted to start to drive as soon as possible, so she took her driving classes, and practiced almost every weekend until she gained my parents confidence. After fighting for months and months to finally get my mom’s old car, she did it! On February 2011 they gave her the car. I could notice she loved the sensation, of freedom; she couldn’t wait to go anywhere she could. Now, she is a total pro, I think I can also use it as an advantage, since if my parents can’t take me somewhere… She can!

Then I got myself thinking, in a few years that will be me. Driving, going anywhere I want, returning at any time I want, and having the same sensation of freedom my sister does. But of course, it’s only a faze, wanting to separate from your parents and become more independent. Anyways hopefully I will gain my parents trust easier than my sister, since she had to go through a lot of obstacles and mine are already done.
