The gift of a new life

2004-10-03T18:06:21Z

My aunt had her baby already and we're all going crazy(specially me) I can't believe something so small like a baby can bring so much happiness and so much love. I can't get away from her, I'm here like 24-7 no joke. She's the cutest thing ever... here are some pics

It's Sofi!

Last sunday was such an awesome day. My sweet boyfriend took Luisa (my little sister) and me to Sea World to celebrate her birthday. We had such a great time. Here are some pics from our day-of-fun...

Isn't that the cutest thing ever??

I love Natalie because she doesn't judge. She sees people for whom they really are, specially me. I love her because her heart doesn't compare to any one elses. I can call her one day and tell her my problems, cry, laugh be mad, and then the next day talk to her again, be totally normal and she won't think i'm a weirdo for being over everything that happened to me the day before. I LOVE HER, and the reason number one why i do is because, as we always say, she is the one and only person i never had drama with, not even the slightest thing got to us, she's the perfect friend...

I love Maryann because if it wasn't for her i really don't know where i would be right now. From day one i knew she would be very importan to me. She accepted me beyond belief. Yes we have had some bad times but that only made everything stronger, she's family.

I love Annabelle because during my hardest times she was there. She helped me through out everything, she was my guide. Her heart is seriously bigger than her body lol i love her more than anything.

I love Leilani because she is the most real person i'll ever know. She is one of the wisest person i know and she always has the best advice to give. I don't know why people are sometimes so unfair with the people that less deserve it, and yeah we rule cerritos college haha. Leilani is like a sister, no matter how far away we are from each other, or how long it goes without us talking, things will always be perfect between us.

I love Stephanie because even though she is one of the craziest ones from the bunch i know she'll always be there. She is one of the few that always calls, and i really mean that. Even if it's not for anything important she calls and she seriously makes my day, and when she doesn't it gets pretty lonely around here lol. My family loves her, she's just a lovable peorson what can i say.

I love Crazy Nat because even though i haven't talked to her for a while i know she'll still get exited when we do. She opened my eyes, and taught me that no matter how much you love someone you always have to meet people for yourself, no matter how bad the person you love talks about them, she gave me a chance and i soooo freakin love her for that. She's awesome

I love Katie because she's GREEK haha j.k j.k. In all seriousness, i love her because she's always been there. I won't talk to her for the longest time, and when i do i can just ask how she's doing and she'll still trust me with her problems, she'll have no problem letting me know how messed up things are, she doesn't get weird around a person, she's always the same. She's the best listener i know, at least with me, when ever i had a problem and talked to her i trully felt like she cared. I miss her....

I love Ash because of the good times. Ashley is devoted to her friends. She'll go that extra mile for someone. She's an angel. She was my best friend for a long time and though we are not as close as we were before i know i'll always have her friendship. Whenever i'm with her i feel like i'm home, and that doesn't happen very often.

I LOVE GEORGE (i know he's not one of my girlfriends, he's my boyfriend, but in all seriousness he's my best friend, he knows me better than anyone else)

nothing to do

2004-09-06T08:00:25Z

Gosh i hate not having a life. George went to the greek festival and i'm here hanging out with belly. No one is doing anything and of course we have no ideas. We were going to go to the casino but Alex didn't want to unless we went and came back at 7:00 but lucky me I work @ 7:30. Now we're trying to pick a movie to watch and that's even becoming hard to figure out....

*~*LOOK AT MY BELLY!!*~*

just keeping in touch

2004-09-05T08:24:52Z

There's not much to say since i know no one actually reads these things, but yeah, everything is going well. George and I are doing good and i love hime more than ever. School is school so there's nothing to say about that. My JOB is retarded and i swear as soon as i find something else i'm out of there.

I talked to Belly today and though we didn't talk for a long time it still felt good 'cause i miss her. Now i'm off to bed, i can barely keep my eyes open....

MY FRIENDS ARE BEUTIFUL

2004-08-25T06:17:40Z

ISN'T SHE CUTE?

Hating it

2004-08-24T18:34:18Z

Seriously college is not as easy as it looked the first week. I have tons of homework, and reading to do. I know it's good to read, but my god how much are they willing to give us, it's like they want to kill our brains. I'm in such a bad mood. I seriously don't know when all the paper work is going to be done so i can start working, this sucks, i really didn't think it was going to take this long, i have books to buy damnit....i'm ready to give up lol

LANI'S B-DAY

Fun with the Gals

2004-08-23T04:02:56Z

So yeah yesterday was my aunt's baby shower.. it was so cute, i can't wait 'till my little cousin is born, Sophy, i'm going to spoil that girl so much it's not even funny!

After my aunt's baby shower i went to Nat's house. I had so much fun, we hung with Nitza, Steph and Vanessa. Some stupid drama went on, not between us but yeah, i don't really want to talk about it it was really dumb, all i know thought is that yesterday i learned that only God can judge you, right Nat? We still had fun, laughing between friends is soo awesome, and Margaritas help a lot too...

I'll post some pics as soon as Nat uploads them, they're really cute...

Goog times

2004-08-20T19:36:51Z

Yesterday was so much fun. We went to Sambis to celebrate Lani's b-day. It was Maps, Heather, Shay, Lani and me. I love Maps and Lani, we hadn't hung out together for a while and i missed it. After Sambis Maps Lani and me didn't know what to do so we drove to Hollywood lol. It was awesome. We were at a red light and saw all these guys standing outside and for our surprise they were all gay! YAY GAY CLUB! We took some some pictures but lani took more lol. Maryann you have to get those quick! But yeah it was fun, i love those girls.

George's mom came back from greece yesterday and she brought me all these cute things, but the best ones are the greek shirts, i love them, and the neklace. I'm so happy because george's attitude changed soo much now that she's back. He was worried for a whole month and now i can tell how much better he is. For the first time in a month i saw that he was trully happy.

Just updating

2004-08-18T06:11:19Z

So yeah college is pretty cool so far. My classes seem pretty cool and the fact that i have lani in one of them makes it all better. I still have to go to my class on saturday and see how that turns out but yeah. I have to buy 3 books for freakin spanish, how gay is that?

I saw my baby last night and it made my day. He was soo sweet to me, i needed our time together so bad, i love him. I really don't know what my life would be like if god had never brought us together, he has made such an impact in my life that i don't see how i was able to get by before i met him.... i know it sounds crazy and some people might think i'm a freak, but i just don't know how to explain it in any other way.

Ash's b-day is tomorrow "wooo whooo!" that girl needed to turn 18 already now we're complete lol. Dinner is going to be fun, i haven't hung out with all of my friends together for a long time and i miss it.

Lani's B-day is on thursday and i still don't know what we're doing but we have to celebrate, just imagine how fun she is without being legal... i don't even know what to expect....

But yeah i have an essay to write and a book to read, so bye...

A bit scared

2004-08-16T04:06:23Z

So I start school tomorrow and I have no idea were my rooms are, I'm a bit freaked out. I'm sure I'll find them I just don't know how long it'll take me. I know I'm ready for college but I can't help being scared, it's something new and nobody likes changes, right?

I MISS GEORGE

Nothing New so here's a little pic of my sisters

~*~FLO AND LUISA AT THE BEACH~*~

~~Back to my old self~~

2004-08-12T00:00:11Z

Everything is pretty much the same as always. The only new thing I’ve done is get my hair done. I finally went back to black. It’s been a pretty long time since I had it black and now I feel a little weird, but it’s cool. My hair seems longer now and that makes me happy! J I’m going to take some new pics so you guys can tell me what you think of it.

HELP WANTED

2004-08-09T20:16:12Z

Well I don’t know if anyone needs a job but today I was talking to the principle from Suva Intermediate and he told me they need Avid Tutors… it’s only one hour a day from 7 am to 8. I know it’s not a job that you can have and pay bills but it’s a way to help out kids and get a little money for it… 50 dollars a week for sitting and helping a kid is really good, well at least for me. Plus you can get another job, it’s not like this takes up a lot of time, the thing is you would have to be waking up early. Well if anyone is interested on helping out give me a call, or leave a comment. These kids really need tutors and if the school doesn’t get enough people to help they’re going to have to get rid of the program and then the kids will be left with nothing… so think about it.

Ready to Rest

2004-08-08T08:33:19Z

Today was a good day. Belly came back from Mexico and we hung out today. We didn't do much we just watched "My Fair Lady" and i (like always) pigged out. Now i'm waiting for George to pick me up so i can go home and sleep, and since there is not much to say i'm going to go now.

~*~Goodnight People~*~

here's Belly sleeping.... I should be doing the same thing! George needs to hurry up...

No life

2004-08-05T15:07:31Z

Well it seems like I’m going to be working at two schools. BGI and Suva Intermediate. That's actually the good thing I'm going to have going on. I love kids so I’m exited. I got my classes yesterday and since I’m going to be working mornings I had to get my classes for later on. I'm taking 4 classes and one that starts in October. Two of my classes are from 4:00 to 7:00, one is from 7:00 to 8:00 and the last one is from 9 in the morning to 12:45, but that one I’m taking on Saturdays. I'm going to have no life (not that I do now). The only good part about that is that I’m not going to have time to think about other things that are going on right now. I'm not really going to talk about it because it's really no ones business, I just wish I could let it out and feel better. Life is so unfair sometimes...

Responsible me...

2004-08-02T21:41:09Z

So I guess I found a job. My sister's teacher got me an interview with the principle from BGI and it seems I’m going to be working as an Avid Tutor. It’s only two days a week and for two hours each day. It’s nothing but whatever. I was talking to Mr. Hernandez (the principle) and he said that not many people stay there because of the small schedule but since I want to be a teacher he said that would be a really good experience. I’m going to keep it because I can still find another job but I need to work with kids to get used to it and stuff. He told me that Gus is going to be working there too so I’m going to give him a call one of these days. What a small world. Now I have to go to the district and fill out some papers, get my fingerprints ready and once all that is done I can start working.
I still have to wait for the interview at SCE(Southern California Edison) ; if I get that job I’m set forever lol. I hope everything goes well.

Sin Banderas "Y llegaste Tu"

2004-08-02T06:42:23Z

Yo solía pensar que sabía quien eras tú
No sabía que dentro de ti, yo iba a encontrar la luz
No sabía que existía un mundo así
No sabía que podía ser, tan feliz

Y la vida pasaba de largo vacía sin emoción
No había nada flotando en el aire abrazándome el corazón
Y llegaste tú y el mundo me abrazó
Y llegaste tú y el mundo se paró

CORO
Y llegaste tú y me sorprendió
El poder que había en este amor
Y llegaste tú, una bendición
Aún recuerdo el momento en que todo cambió
Y llegaste tú y me sorprendió
El poder que hay en este amor
Y llegaste tú, una bendición
Aún recuerdo, cuando llegaste tú

Hoy que estoy en tus brazos recuerdo mi soledad
Y me río pensando en las veces que yo te dejé pasar
Y llegaste tú y el mundo me abrazó
Y llegaste tú y el mundo se paró

CORO
Y llegaste tú y me sorprendió
El poder que había en este amor
Y llegaste tú, una bendición
Aún recuerdo el momento en que todo cambió
Y llegaste tú y me sorprendió
El poder que hay en este amor
Y llegaste tú, una bendición
Aún recuerdo, cuando llegaste tú (2)

Cuando llegaste tú (5)

You can dress me up diamonds
You can dress me up in dirt
You can throw me like a line-man
I like it better when it hurts

Oh, I have waited here for you
I have waited

You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be your french maid
Where I'll meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream

You can meet me on an airplane
Or in the back of the bus
You can throw me like a boom-a-rang
I'll come back and beat you up

Oh, I have waited here for you
Dont, keep me waiting

You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be your french maid
Where I'll meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drin the milk up I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream

You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be your french maid
Where I'll meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat

Drink the milk up i want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream

I feel safe with you
I can be myself tonight
It's alright, with you
Cuz you hold, my secrets tight
You do, You do

You make me wanna la la, la la la, la la, la la la la la la la la la
You make me wana la la, la la la la

Life is short...

2004-07-29T18:45:47Z

Today is one of those days that change your whole perspective on life. My mom came to my house really early in the morning, I opened the door and she was crying hysterically. She said, “don’t worry but your sister had an accident”. I was speechless, tears blinded my eyes and I couldn’t move. She held me and said everything was okay, that she came over because my dad was bringing my sister home and she just wanted to see her, but that she was fine. About half an hour later my sister came home and she was crying as well. She told us how everything happened, and how she had been so close to dying. If her car would have turned one more time she would have gone off the freeway down into one of those wholes. She was less than a foot away from it. She said her whole life flashed before her eyes and that she can’t believe she made it out of it alive. There was an officer that saw the whole thing and he asked her if she went to church, and when she said no he said, “You should start going, that was your angel that saved you”. I held her so hard when I saw her, I don’t know what I would do without her; she’s my best friend. These kinds of things make you see how useless some things are, how short life really is and how is not our choice when we go. I’m going to do my best to not waist my time on meaningless things. I’m going to let everyone know how much I love them every day, and I’m going to take the best out of life. I’m going to be happy, and make other people happy, I don’t want to waist one minute of my time being sad, or angry, or jealous or have any of those feelings that just don’t do any good. I want to be a good daughter, a good sister, a good friend, a good girlfriend….

FOR TEACHING ME NEW THINGS

.....

2004-07-28T03:24:11Z

Everything is fine I guess. George's mom and brother left the day before yesterday and he's been pretty down, but it's logical. I just wish there was a way for me to make him feel better, but I know I would be the same way if my mom and sisters left. I'm hoping he'll get a little better as the days go by.

Belly leaves tomorrow and I’m going to miss her. She's one of the few people that I’m still in touch with... not because I forgot about all my other friends but I’ve been talking to her a lot lately and now I’m going to be a little empty.

There’s not much to say…so I’m going to go now…

Love,
Mari
