Day 4:4 Memories You Can't Forget

4 Things I can't forget?

My first trip to Mexico
-This one made me nervous. I had never been outside the US before and when we were going, I was so excited. I can't wait for my next vacation outside the US, which will, hopefully, be to London!!

My dad passing away
-This one really struck a cord with me. When my dad passed, it really affected me. I mean, being in the same hospital room one minute to see the heart monitor beeping and then the next hearing nothing and not seeing his chest rise to let us know he's still living, very scary! It's very eerie being in the same room, watching the life go out of the eyes of someone you love. I'll never understand why my dad acted the way he did sometimes, but I love him none the less

Graduating high school
-Never in my life was I ever so glad to get out of high school. My high school was nice, but the peopel I went with, didn't make it enjoyable. I was made fun of, because I was "different". What I mean by this is, I was not willing to bend over backwards and change who I was to fit in. I didn't listen to rap music because it was the "in" thing, I didn't dress like a whore like some of the girls did, and I didn't say things like "Yo, what up dog? How's my homie?", talking like some kind of black rap wannabe. Instead, I listened to people like The Beatles, Aerosmith. And after high school, started listening to the Stones.

My first job
-My first job was actually just a seasonal job. It was through a local staffing agency that gave me the job of Data Entry Clerk and Mail Room Clerk at the US Bank Lockbox near me. Man, there was a alot of security there. No MP3s, iPods, only CD players. You could only have 2 CDs at a time, no talking, just work. Not my idea of good social skills, but it did get me experience

Hi Everybody!! I'm Back from Vacation!

Hi everyone. I know it's been about a week since I posted last, but lately, I was on vacation with my family. As you may have read in some of my last posts, my family was planning to go to Mexico. Now, if I can figure out how to upload the photos I took, I can show you of the random stuff we did down there.

Anyway, we just got back into town last night around 6 or 7pm. We ended up having sandwiches from this local place called Penn Station for dinner while we all unpacked. The vacation was great. We took lots of photos, my sister made friends with a couple bartenders/waiters down there, named Alejandro and Yves. The second one, Yves, made her a little grasshopper out of palm leaves and grass. And as for me, never really talked to anyone. Heard alot of great and cool accents though. I did meet alot of interesting people. At the bar, I met a cute guy from Germany. He was blond and had a cute accent. I also seen and heard 2 English couples. They always sat at the same seats near us at the pool. It was an older English couple and a younger English couple. I almost laughed when I heard one of them say 'bloody'. Also, I seen a really cute scuba diving instructor named Sebastian. He was blond and had the sexiest accent ever: English, or Australian!! He was a hot, blond English or Australian scuba instructor. Either way, his accent was gorgeous!!!! And omg, he had the nicest smile!! I was melting already. Unfortunately, I didn't go scuba diving, fear of deep water, and not like 5-10 feet, I mean like ocean deep, deep water where sharks are.

We also tried alot of new drinks, mostly alcoholic. Hey, you gotta try new things. And I did. I tried chocolate mudslide, pina colada, something called a Caribbean Dream and a strawberry daiquiri. Yeah, I sound like some kind of alcoholic in the making, but believe me, I'm not. My sister, who is 19, was downing more drinks than me. Because something that not alot of people realize is that the legal drinking age in Mexico is 16. When she heard that, wow! She was doing shots, including a local one called the Bandera, which is Spanish for flag, It's served in a tall, skinny shooter glass and has red sangria, clear tequila and what I think may be green apple liqueur in it.

Any who, that was my first trip outside the US. I'm hoping for my next trip outside the US to be to either London, China, Japan, Australia

One More Week, Just One More Week Until...

I go on vacation

Yup, that's right! I'm going on vacation!!!! My first trip outside the US. I thought this day would never come. Well, maybe this is the start I need to visiting places outside the US! Well, I've already decided that my 2nd major trip outside the US is going to be to London. IDK what it is about this city that fascinates me so, but I just really wanna see it.

I'm going here! To Cancun, Mexico. And to make my trip better, the hotel my family was originally supposed to stay in is somehow under construction, so we got an upgrade- to jr. suites!! My sister went nuts for that, especially after finding out the room has a big screen TV, so she can watch cartoons in Spanish. And another thing, since me and my sis are in a room by ourselves, we get our own beds. Hehe, sweet! Whenever I've gone on family vacations before, me and my sis always had to share a bed, and believe me, that's not fun. She does what I call "spread eagling" , where she spreads out and takes up the bed. And before I know it, I have some part of her boyd on me, whether it be her arm across my throat or something. And also, since we already paid for the vacation, we don't need to pay for the upgrade. And, whew! That's good too, considering it's $1600 a person. Forget that! I'm glad we paid in advance! I'm going on a much needed vacation!! The first thing Im doing when I get down there is go and find some authentic Mexican food, try an authentic, Mexican-made taco, omg, it's gonna taste sooooooooooooooooooo good!!

Favorite foods

When it comes to food, I love almost anything, among my favorites are Chinese, Italian, and Mexican. But I'm also the kind of person who will probably also try anything new. I really want to try sushi, I mean, I know it's raw fish, but come on, it sounds kind of good. I guess it's the curious side of me coming out. And if I ever get the chance to visit Japan, that'll be one thing I have to try, sushi made by someone actually Japanese-born.

CHINESE FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, but I love these lil carrying boxes. They're so cool

 Either sweet and sour chicken or orange chicken. Either one is good, especially from this Chinese restaurant near my mom's house.

OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH! Fried rice! Yum yum!! I love this one the most, I almost always get it when I get Chinese food, whether it be steak fried rice, beef fried rice, shrimp fried rice or chicken. I swear, I'll probably be fat one day, lol. but I don't eat this stuff all the time mainly because of lack of money!!!

Italian food

Spaghetti

My stepdad's mom makes the greatest Italian food ever! She's old school Italian and she is the greatest cook ever, and I just love her to death. She's friendly and nice and funny too. And if it wasn't painfully obvious, my stepdad and his family are Italian, which I think is really awesome!

Linguine, not so good with that nasty alfredo stuff on it, too artery-clogging for me!

Pizza anyone? pizza ain't so Italian anymore, more American if u ask me!

Spaghetti and meatballs! OMG!!!!! I'm so craving Italian right now.....

Mexican food!!!!!

Chicken tacos! Every time I get Mexican food when I'm with my mom and stepdad, I always get this! This place by my mom's house, Plaza Vallarte, they make the greatest Mexican food EVER!!!

OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH! More tacos!!

Oh yeah! Enchiladas!!! YUM YUM!
