greatest time

Well so far in my 19 years of life I can say I've had plenty of great times. The one that stood out the most is the time I went to my first concert. I found out about the Baby Bash, Frankie J, and Natalie concert from my cousin and older brother. At the time we were all young, too young to go by ourselves, so my mom told me brother and cousin if they would wash her car for 2 months every weekend she would take us.

Two months went by and every weekend they would wash her car. My mom kept her promise and bought 4 tickets to the concert. I honestly don’t remember the exact date but I remember I was in 5^th grade so it had to be the year 2005. We were all so excited to go to the concert, including my mother. The day finally came and we couldn't wait until 6 o’clock to head out to the performing arts center.

            We finally arrived and a worker there took us to our seats. I remember feeling so nervous not knowing what to expect at my first concert. I can see in my mom’s face how excited she was and especially that we were there with her. There were so many people who made me feel more over whelmed and nervous. The first performance was by Frankie J , and right when he came out to sing I forgot how nervous I was and started singing along. My favorite performer Natalie was next, and I have got to say she was my favorite. Lastly, Baby Bash came out rapping and at that point all my nervous feelings came back, because at my age he was one of my crushes. All the music, singing, and screaming had been over, and from that day on I named it the best time I’ve had. Though I’ve had plenty of great time in mu lifetime that is one I will never forget. 

my babies

            Well to start off one of the three important people in my life would have to be my baby sister Vanessa. Vanessa is 10 years old and in 5^th grade. She is one of the sweetest little girls I have ever met, and no I’m not just saying that because she is my baby sister. She’s kind of tall, tan, and wears purple glasses. She’s not at all a girly girl, only when she wants to be. Instead of sandals and tanks you’ll see her in Jordan’s, jeans, and graphic tees. She also plays softball for the Oxnard Mermaids League. Vanessa is important to me because in some weird way makes me who I am, she brightens up my day, if she’s happy than I’m happy but if she’s having a bad day so am I.

            Next is my baby brother Estevan. He just turned 13 in March and is in 7^th grade. Estevan is pretty tall, well taller than me and chubby. When you first meet him he is very shy and very polite in public, but at home he can be a grouchy child and likes to yell a lot. Though he has his temper tantrums from time to time I love him with all my heart. He’s never been that into sports, but is really into music. He is very important to me because just like my sister he completes my life and keeps me motivated.

            Last comes my little brother Gaspar. Gaspar just turned 15 and is a freshman at Channel Islands High School. He is 5’10, light skinned and skinny, and yes he is the tallest one in my family. Gaspar plays basketball and football for his high school and was also in mariachi and did not enjoy it one bit. One thing I can say he is a pain in the butt and complains about EVERYTHING. He is important to me because well he’s my baby brother along with my other brothers and sister I love them and cannot see myself without them. We make each other who we are with all of our different personalities and attitudes. Though we fight and argue sometimes over the stupidest things I can never in a billion years see myself without them and I don’t know what I would do if anything ever happened to them, they are my baby’s and hope to set a good example for them and help them with anything they might ever need. 

El Super Sucks

         Every Sunday my grandmother and I go to this grocery store named “El Super”, on Saviers Road and across the street from the new Wal-Mart. It has got to be one of the worse grocery stores I have ever been too. My grandma loves it because it’s a lot less expensive than other grocery stores and that I have to admit but there are so many other reasons why I dislike going there and especially EVERY Sunday. For one the parking is horrible I have to say it takes me about 10 minutes to find a parking. I believe there are never parking spots because there are so many little stores and restaurants in that shopping center and not enough parking space. Secondly, I personally think that store gets a little too packed. I didn’t know that many people could grocery shop all at once. I’ve witnessed babies, children and even adults just grab food like bread, fruits, vegetables, chips etc. and start eating them and don’t even pay for it because then they either put it back or throw the trash on the floor.

            I also think the store is very dirty and unorganized, yes it’s not always the workers fault but I have seen a lot more people at Wal-Mart than I do there and can honestly say Wal-Mart is a lot cleaner than El Super. As I’m typing this all I’m thinking about is how much I love Wal-Mart and how I should have written about it instead, but I thought you should know how much I dislike El Super. Not only is every isle packed with people, children running around, and carts in the middle of the isle but sometimes have stacks of their merchandise just in the middle disturbing everything. Lastly, the meat section has got to be the worse part of the entire store. I once waited for 30-40 minutes to get meat, and I wasn’t the only one. Just imagine how many people were waiting for their number to get called. So my advice to you and your family is to stay away and I’m sure it will make your Sunday a whole lot better. 

Fast Food Nation

            For the most part the book Fast Food Nation has left me disgusted and a bit confused on why as a young child was allowed to eat fast food. And it’s obvious that most of our parents didn't know that fast food like McDonald's  Carl’s Jr., and Taco Bell were really bad for our bodies and health. Our parents just had seen it as an easy and cheap way to feed us. They are not the ones to blame, well there are the parents who did nothing but feed their children fast food, so I guess you can blame them for being lazy, but if it was a once in a while kind of thing then in my opinion, I think it’s okay. The ones to blame are those marketing to families and children making it seem as if fast food is the healthy thing to eat.

            Lately, I have not been eating fast food as much as I used too, maybe the only thing is Subway but I mean how bad is that compared to McDonald's and sadly In-N-Out. I can proudly say I am slowly changing my ways of eating, I know it’s going to take a while but I know I can do it. Instead of eating out with friends I will probably just invite them to a home cooked healthy meal at my house, or let’s get real maybe something my grandma made already, because I am pretty sure it will be healthier than fast food.

            

uuugh school

Okay so #5 was my truth, I am taller than my oldest brother by like 2 inches.

          Honestly this semester isn’t going all that well for me. I need to grow up and really focus on school and realize that college is no joke. First off, I’m taking a sign language class that I thought was going to be pretty easy, I mean it is but for some reason I don’t remember any of it. I have a big problem where I get distracted very I mean very easy. I can be working on homework and if someone asks me to help them out with something I will go help and completely forget about my homework. I can also say I’m probably the biggest procrastinator of all time, for example, the other day I had an essay due in one of my other classes and yes I waited the last day to do it. But not only that I sat in front of my computer and instead of typing my essay I ended up watching YouTube videos until 5 in the morning. Once 5 o’clock came I noticed the sky started getting a bit brighter and that’s when I decided it was time to start my essay, so I ended up literally pulling an all niter and didn’t go to sleep until that night. I mean who does that. The sad thing is I know I shouldn’t be like that but for some reason I can’t help myself, I seriously need an intervention. For the most part I guess you can say I’m doing alright this semester, but my goal should never be just alright my goal should be perfect. I just think I need a reality check because I obviously cannot take my own advice when it comes to school. My goal for next semester is to actually be on top of my school work because I really don’t know how much work I have until the day before its due, that’s when I’m actually doing it. I hope I stick to my plan for the rest of this semester and all the upcoming ones.

Memories

This song reminds me of the best mother ever, of course my mom. And how we would be in our van driving around with my younger siblings blasting this song and all of us sinigng along. One of the best memories I will always cherish.
