Happy b-day to me LOL

Today is my b-day but since it's my 18th one my mum decided to make a party for me yesterday (Dec 30th) because not everyone in my family would have been able to come if we had celebrated it today (Yeah.. new year is more important ). I have to say I had a nice time especially because I haven't had a b-day party like for ages (We would "celebrate" it every year but just 'cos of new year :P); on my 15 th b-day we were on holidays so I only had a "petit comité" with my family and my aunt and uncle who live in the US so this time I really enjoyed my b-day despite the fact that one of my uncles, a lawyer, wouldn't stop looking att my clothes and even asked me where did I buy them and which was th prize of my jacket but I'm used to that because most of my friends are also like that.



TBH I didn't expect a lot of presents but I did get money, Ferrari's "Black" lotion (Which smells really nice), a wrist watch and Scissor Sister's abum "Ta-Dah" (This one was a nic egift 'cos a cousing gave it to me but the things is that we don't have a friends relation I was quite happy when he phoned me and asked me which album did I want him to give me). Here are some pics with my family and my grand mother (She's like 92 years old ) , hope you guys like them.

My bamboos

About 3 weeks ago my parents wanted us to this huge store where u can buy a lot of exotic and different furniture and home decoration because they were searching for some chair cushions for our dining room chairs so we went there and during our "trip" (The store has 3 floors) I saw some nice crystal flowerpots and I liked one which has a rare shape, as soon as we carried on with our "trip" I saw some nice bamboo's and thought they would look great on the crystal flowerpots I saw before so I asked my dad id I could buy 2 bamboos and a flowerpot and he said yes. I was a bit excited 'cos I have always wanted to have a bamboo plant in my bedroom since they look really nice and clean (according to my perception). When we arrived home I was still happy about it but felt a bit sad afterwards because I heard my parents talking about my acquisition, they thought it was strange just like my sister told me when I showed them to her. At first I was a bit sad because of this but after thinking it over I realized I shouldn't feel sad 'cos it's somehitng I have always wanted and I don't have to please them. Here are some pics I took this morning :

HOT pop males

This time I decided to post pics about some sexy pop singers, not all of them had success with their bands but they're still sexy haha:
Dhani Lennevald: he was part of the Swedish pop band A*Teens who joined great chart success all over the world, since they went their separate ways he has released one single as a solo artist and has been a model. He's currently working on what will be his first solo album.

Glenn Ball: he was part of the British pop band POP! who got dropped after releasing 3 top 40 singles, they were a band with a lot of potential but they were created during the wrong time. Since they went their separate ways in 2005 he has been a dancer for Kylie Minogue, Sugababes, Crazy Frog among others he also started a project with a new boyband but he never carried on with it.

Will Young: this solo artist had to deal with a lot of pressure since he released his first record especially because the media made a big deal about his homosexuality, he's got an amazing voice and his latest album "Keep On" is brilliant. He recntly won Heat magazine best dressed man award.

Kevin Simm (Left) and Tony Lundon (Right): the 2 males from pop band Liberty X, Kevin has appeared in the reality show "The Games" and Tony used to be part of the Irish produtcion "Lord Of The Dance". Both of them have great bodies and despite the low chart position that their latest single "X" achieved they'll come back next year (Can't wait).

Shayne Ward: he wan X-factor last year, had a Christmas #1 single and a #1 album afterwards. His latest single entered the Top 20 which isn't that bad considering the difficulties that digital downloads have caused to a lot of artists. Supposedly he's working on new material and has a deal with Calvin Klein undies. Martin Rolinski: he's the lead singer of the famous Swedish dance-pop trio BWO (Bodies Without Organs originally) whose latest album was certified Gold in Sweden, he's got a nice voice and if you would like to see him wearing a nice swim suit while he sings just take a look at his latest video "Chariots Of Fire" (One of my favourite songs) which is really spontaneous and funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16DGzEb_Boo

Merry Christmas !

Well today it's Christmas and of course I couldn't help thinking about posting a Christmas message, and even if not everybody celebrates it I think this is a nice time to realize about how special we all are no matter what. As usually I'll celebrate it at my grand mother's house (Mum of my dad) just like we do it every year and it'll be boring as usually 'cos all the family will talk about polictics, well-known people and stuff like that not forgetting I'll have to eat snacks that I don't really like because it's part of my education but anyway at least the Christmas memories that I have from when when I was kid will help me to remain happy while I'm sat on the couch talking about sensless stuff with my sister while my brother as usually will be trying to "fit in" among all our preppy dressed cousins.

Merry Christmas everyone!!

On my own

Today I woke up and felt ok which was a bit nice because during the last days I had been feeling quite depressed and sad for many reasons but well I knew it wouldn't last that long especially because today it's Friday so most people go out, in this case I'm talking about my "friends" and my brother. Everything was nice until my brother told me that on Wednesday he saw a close friend of mine (Who also dressed up as a Wisemen, the one in the middle) at a pub where he always goes with his cousins (He only goes out with his cousins because only they have the same education that he has, as he told me once) so I told my brother that it makes me sick the fact that my friend only goes out with his cousins and I told him "I'm not like that .." (I didn't finish what I was going to say because it would be too weird for my brother) and he replied "Yeah you prefer to listen to S Club" (Making fun of my personality) and well it wasn't from hin but anyway in the evening I was online and my friend signed in and as usually he asked me "Are you going out today" and I replied "No" so he said something like "Just make sure that you don't commit suicide while your at home" trying to joke in a mean way because he knows that I'm not a party animal like my brother and I think this really made me feel sad because during the last weeks I had started to appreciate our "friendship" despite the fact that he's constanly talking bad about me becauuse "I'm too thin" "I don't read books besides the school ones" and stuff like that but todayhe really made me feel angry and sad and I thought about replying to him in a rude way but I didn't especially because Christmas is almost here. After a few seconds he told me that he was leaving and all I said said was "Have a nice Christmas, have fun". Maybe I should've replied to him in a mean way or maybe not but these kinda things always make me feel bad about my personality, I mean I am the way I am and I like it but sometimes it's also hard to be crtizised by your family and those who call themselves your friends.

I know this situation has made appreciate a lot of things in life that people don't usually apprecite because they never take the required time to think about them and it's nice because you get to develop your personality but at the same time it is a bit difficult from time to time because whenever I decide to shre my thoughts with my sister she thinks I'm crazy and at a certain point I understand her because as I said before not all people are able to see "invisible" things like a true happy moment or something like that.

Someone famous I can really relate to, Will Young who in a certain way also suffered, when at a young age when he became famous he accepted his homosexuality, because of his "different" personality. I love this pic, it's perfect in every way for me.

I'm an elf now :P

A few days ago one of my cousins who is studying in Spain (She studied Architecture and is now doing some extra school stuff in Spain, just what I want to do in the future but the difference is that I want to move) sent me a funny e-mail in which she appeared dancing as an elf so I couldn't resist to "Elf myself" too. Here is the result:

Atomic Kitten together again !

It seems that the trio will be back for a concert which will happen on my 18th B-day !

Since they decided to take a break from being unarguably the biggest girl group in Europe, as well as being one of Britain`s most successful pop exports with massive chart success globally, it`s fair to say the pop scene has sorely missed Atomic Kitten. In the two and more years since the Kittens finished their sell-out arena tour, they`ve continued to work together on a number of projects and special events including releases of Cradle in 2005 and All Together Now in Germany in 2006 in support of the World Cup charities. But to bring in the New Year 2007, the trio are back with something even bigger. On December 31st, Nokia will welcome in the New Year in unique style, by connecting millions of music lovers from around the world as they count down the final minutes of 2006. Nokia New Year`s Eve, a global music event in five cities across four continents. Atomic Kitten are headlining the first of the series of concerts, in Hong Kong, with other global artists such as the Black Eyed Peas, Scissor Sisters and Nelly Furtado headlining the remainder taking place around the globe from East to West, in Mumbai, Berlin, Rio De Janeiro and finally New York

I'm a Wisemen !

Today I had a great time with two of my mates because about a month ago our principal asked us to dress up as the 3 Wisemen for primary school's Christmas festival which happened today. Since the day he asked us to do that I felt really excited because I have been studying in Argos (The name of my school) all my life and I immediately remembered how I used to feel as a kid during the Christmas festivals so I accepted. This week week we rehearsed out little roll like 3 days and every time a teacher saw us they would stare at us and wave because they remembered us or our brothers/sisters as their students so it was nice anyway something that made me feel even better was the fact that all the little kids (Especially Kinder Garden ones) would be amazed with our presence because they really thought that we were the 3 Wisemen so they would start to tell us things like "I would like to have an X-box 360° and an iPod", I felt really nice because I realized how innocent can kids be and it is something beautiful. In the end when we chenged clothes I couldn't stop thinking about it and I couldn't help feeling happy because in a ceratin way I put a smile on those kids faces just by letting them have a picture taken with me and my mates.





Here you can see a pic of us taken a few minutes before starting the event:


Of course we couldn't help having a laugh with out fake beards haha:

British Invasion !

Today I went to the mall 'cos I needed to buy some clothes for my tennis classes and as usually I couldn't resist going to "Mix Up" which is a famous CD store over here in Mexico and I was really surprised 'cos I saw All Saints latest album "Studio 1" as well as Sugababes "Overloaded - The Greatest Hits. I didn't buy them 'cos they're "National" and that means they're sold as normal CD's not as imported ones so I can buy them later without worrying 'cos there are a few copies but this is strange 'cos no-one over here knows All Saints or Sugababes and the ones who know them is because they remember either "Pure Shores" or "Hole In The Head" which were famous over here when POP was popular back in 2001/2002 but I have to say it is nice to know pop acts are trying to bring POP to the top again, hopefully 2007 will be a better year for pop acts.

Congrats mum & dad !

Today it was a special day for my parents because 23 years ago they got married!! That's really nice in my opinion because even though a lot of people think that almost all marriages (straight/gay) are not true 'cog after some time people stop"loving" eachother but I know my parents are not in that situation because well they have a steady relationship of course sometimes they have their little arguments but all of them are gone as soon as they hold their hands again; I know this can sound cheesy but I was able to realize about this because even though my parents are a steady couple today one of my mother's sisters found out that her husband is cheating on her and to make things even worse when my aunt asked about it my uncle just answered "I'm like that" and one of her 2 daughters told her "It really doesn't surprise me" so this makes me realize that even if people claim that certain things are impossible we can always make them possible.

A picture of Rihanna's single "Unfaithful" which makes me feel bad for my aunt who is such a nice woman.

L’homosexualité

Today I learnt something quite interesting about homosexuality over here in America; and it is that the "Zapotecas" (An ancient culture from Oaxaca, Mexico, which I studied as a kid during primary school) used to accept homosexuality among men only if they practiced it before getting married; women were not allowed to practice it mainy because they needed to keep their virginity until they got married. Maybe this is quite random but I find it interesting because I could've never imagined that an ancient Mexican cuture could accept homsexuality.
I was able to discover this thanks to my French class because next Monday I need to present my oral exam and since we were asked to talk about a small society in the world me and one of my friends decided to talk about homosexuals; after telling out teacher that we were going to talk about that my mate started to fuss about it and tried to change his mind but I told him that he should not be ashamed of it because after all homosexuals are normal people just like anybody (Of course he doesn't know that I am homo but since I'm not ashamed of homosexuality I "fought" for my ideal)

Winter is here

Today I was quite amazed when I looked outside the window of the living-room because just like my mum told me the grass was covered with a "rug" of leaves which fell of all our fruit trees .
Here you can see 2 pics that prove it; it is an aisle at the left side of our house which has fruit trees (fig, plum, peach, lemon and apple trees) that were seeded when our house was built 16 years ago and it leads you to the back garden.

X-mas decoration

As I mentioned it before last Saturday I helped my parents to decorate our house with x-mas stuff and now I've been able to take some pics which are nice in my opinion, I know some people don't like x-mas at all but well I think it's a special time and I love it.

This years x-mas tree is not that tall but it looks really nice, most of the decoration was made by my mum; she loves cross-stitch so she decided to make a lot of cross-stitch trinkets for our tree. I remember she used spend most part of the previous years making different objects so that she could hang them on the tree each x-mas and as years passed she was able to create an assorted collection which includes angels, wrapped presents among others.

This crown was remade by my mum and me today, it was pretty much the same before but the corn leaves were all kinked and looked kinda dented so we removed them all and pasted some new ones, the slices of lemon and orange as well as the chilies we used are dehydrated so that they don't look horrible next year. It was nice doing this with my mum; especially because a lot of time had passed since I did something like that with her for the last time.
