Anahuac Day: the complete recrap

Well, Yesterday was Anahuac Day. I had little to none time on the computer so I couldn’t post earlier.

I had my first two morning classes as usual and out Data Structure teacher didn’t make it to class, so Liz and I took off with the mecatronics to get into the activities for the day. I started snapping away like crazy.

The first thing we did was going to the climbing wall. Jerry, Osito and Luis Angel climbed it while we watched. While we were there, some friends of Jerry came by and then they assked why they haven’t heard of me before. It seems that I’m quite famous because everyone I know decided to show up at that exact moment n_n.

Liz and I decided to take a look at the food stands but because they were just setting them up, we decided to change our money for Anahuac Pesos and eat a Hot Dog from El Galán. Then we met up with Alekz. Midori, Lizbeth and Beto and went to see the Vaquillas (little Toros). Alekz was doing his service in that event.

During the Vaquillas, they also started bungee jumping. The bungee was 40m high and it looked quite dangerous, I wouldn’t do it, ever!

Liz and I took off again, this time to see if the grafiti wall was ready for us to paint on and it wasn’t u_u.

The next event that took place was the Wrestling matches! They were great! I loved them, at the same time I was eating a Strombolli from Sbarro (delicious!).

Alekz, Lizbeth, Midori and Laura decided to go and play some paint ball. It was very funny because Alekz and Midori ended up being face to face and midori shot Alekz with no mercy. They ended up covered in bruise and PINK! paint.

The gotcha ended and then we went to try and study a bit for our OS exam (today!). Then Javi text messaged Midori and we went running to the cafeteria for the Musianahuac (our school’s version of battle of the bands) there were only 5 bands including: siteymedio (Javi’s band), Feedback, October Day, and other two I don’t remember. Javi didn’t win but the show was awesome!

Then we went to see if there was going to be OS class but the professor didn’t show up so I went with Liz and Lizebeth back to the party. Everyone was dancing and just having a good time. After Liz left the school, Lizbeth and I went to see the dances that some high school girls prepared for a big contest, they were pretty amazing both of the dances we saw.

The most impressive acts were the aerial dance ones we saw. There was a girl doing stuff on some ribbons on the air and then another girl hoola opping with fire, it was quite impressive. My sister called me and I went looking for her, then I left my things in the car and when we came back the structure of the aerial dance had fallen down and two people were rushed to the hospital, it was quite scary.

The show had to go on and the concert started with Varana!

Varana is a Mexican group, they are new and their vocalist is really cute. We were almost in the front row and our view was amazing! They really got the crowd up and everyone was having a great time. I loved that they played Welcome to the Jungle and a cover from ACDC. Also they sung Soldiers from The Killers.

The main act was a little late and they put music, the mood in the crowd was a bit heavy and my siter and I just wanted to go home or see Motel. Luckily, the show started again and Motel was pretty disappointing.

I like them a lot and I love their songs but they just played and barely interacted with the crowd. I didn’t like that. I just waited until they played my favourite song (which was the last one they played) and then I left with my sister.

I saw the fireworks as I left the parking lot.

Well, that was my first complete Anahuac Day, pretty awesome huh?

101 things in 1001 days update!

Major Update on my list:

Experiences:

• Go to a Fashion Week Mexico show –> the next fashion week is on April and I’m already contacting designers and just looking into some things to get a pass or an invitation.




• Go to at least 4 rock concerts (1/4) –> I’m going to the Funeral For A Friend concert on March 27th at the Hard Rock Live.
• Visit the Toluca Outlet –> I went on February and I fell in love with the MILK store there *_*. I can’t wait to go back.

Personal:

• Overcome my fear of public speech –> While still in progress, I just had a few presentations at college and I’m getting better at them. I no longer feel so afraid, doing EFT before this surely has helped a lot.




• Make a ditl for every important event in my life –> I did one for my first day at college this semester and I’ll do another if I decide to climb the Nevado de Toluca again.




• Write and entry on my blog/LJ everyday for a year –> I don’t do posts at Live Journal but I do at least an entry on my blog a day.




• Use a personal organizer and stick to it –> I have the personal organizer; I just have to stick to it!
• Make a new friend in my Faith Class (engineers don’t count) has become Make a new friend –> Done, I met Nicolás on my Data Structure class. He’s an interchange student from Chile.
• Meet, Gala Darling, Gilda and Ana –> I’ve been having talks with Ana and I think that we’ll meet this summer.




• Send at least 10 Valentine’s Day cards every year –> I made cupcakes instead and successfully delivered 19 of them to my friends at college.

Health

• Work out at least once a week for six months –> I just started this one and is being much more harder than I thought. I don’t like to work out a lot but I’m EFT’ing it away.




• Lose weight (53 Kilos) –> this one is going well, the stress of the exams and my schedule at school is taking care of this for me u_u and no, that is not a good thing.




• Walk at least twice a week for three months –> this one is entering its second month now, I spend much time at school and when I’m not doing homework, I walk with my friend Liz all around campus and to the nearby mall where we just walk and walk and walk. This is three times a week.

Academic

• Write and deliver reports to my boss on time for at least a semester –> This one is great, so far I have delivered all of them on time without exceptions. Including a very large one that I only had a weekend to finish.




• Finish my homework the day it is assigned for at least a semester –> Doing great, I make all my homework on time and I can get home and sleep.




• Participate more in class –> I at least try to participate as much as I can but sometimes I just don’t feel like it.
  

Skills:

• Learn to bake cupcakes –>; Yes, I finally made them, they didn’t go out as expected but my oven is broken. They were edible and tasted good or at least that is the opinion of 16 male engineer students.




• Learn to play Guitar Hero –> My first experience was at my friend Arely’s house but this Thursday I went to Alekz’ house with Liz and we played Through the Flames and Fire and I didn’t get tired. I also almost did My name is Jason on easy with 95%, not bad for my second time playing huh?

• Get back into design –> Now in the form of LJ icons, I’m posting my works on a community created by me and my friend Sara , it is project_icons , join to see our creations.




• Learn Java –> Java is weird for me at the moment, I can’t understand the syntaxes but I’m getting better at it with each class I take.

Beauty and Fashion:

• Stop wearing jeans all the time –> while jeans are still my main item to wear I don’t wear all the time like I used to. I’ve taken a liking to coloured pants and leggings with miniskirts and I’m playing those on too.
• Dye my hair pink (some of it) –> right now it looks more like a pinkish red than pink but I’m sure that with 3 or more applications it will look real PINK!
• Dress in a more feminine way –> I’m using more feminine tops and just staying away from t-shirts

Random:

• Support my bff Liz in all her decisions –> some examples are when I made her feel better about dropping out Physics class, even though I don’t agree to that.
• Finish Jak 2: The renegade –> Liz helped me pass another mission but I haven’t had the time to play u_u.
• Make and stick to a weekly budget –> My dad gives me an allowance of nearly 100 dollars per month, which I have to stretch for books, school supplies, food, toll fees, gas, and my outings. It’s been a challenge but I’m making ends meet as I can.
• Make a photo album for my friend with pictures of my friends with tags –> I already have the pictures, I just need to organize it and upload it to Photobucket.

Kisses,

Juls!

Friends are the SH*T

Jejeje ok ok I know, I never talk like that unless I’m frustrated, angry or with cramps u_u.

There are three yeahs today:

1. Yeah for Arely not getting mad at me =DDD.
2. Yeah for finding my cell phone (it was in the living room, making of my sister I’m sure).
3. And Yeah for staying home alone and skipping some religious stuff.

BTW, my wireless network finally works as it should and I’m typing from the living room while watching Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School. That show is so bad that it is good!! Really, they are girls that went into some kind of “Bachelor” thing but with a really ugly guy called Flavor Flav. Besides, you could tell that each and everyone of them just wanted to be there to be on TV. Really it is the worst show ever!! Worse than Living with Fran. It is hilarious!!!

Last night I completed another one of my 101 things in 1001 days:

Watch a complete anime series.

I watched Paradise Kiss, it is very weird at first but I liked it. It is about fashion so I was bound to like it. It is a girly anime, I know. Don’t watch it Genma, Alekz and any guy that reads this. It is good and it was short 12 episodes and it is all on youtube.

As for plans for today, I’m going to finish a conclussion for OS and watcvh the Charm School marathon on VH1.

Kisses,

Julie.

A day with Arely, the complete chronicles

Today started with me waking up late for the last time before returning to school. I logged on Messenger and say Arely, we started talking and we decided to ditch the original plan (going to Perros y Burros) and spend the whole afternoon playing Guitar Hero jeje.

After that I had breakfast and took a shower. Then I went to get school supplies with my mum and she bought me the Julieta Agenda (wtf?) I mean, it’s nice that it has my name on it and all but it’s just plain weird.

I had a bite to eat and then my dad took me to Arely’s. There I saw her brother while she finished getting ready. We played When we were young by The Killers first me on easy he on difficult n_n.

It was fun, then we decided to step my level up to medium because easy was very slow and I lost the rythm very easily. Then I rocked in Wlecome to the Jungle, I even jumped and danced and made the classic back to back with Arely’s brother. I had a lot of fun.

After a while our fingers started hurting so we decided to settle down in front of the computer and Arely taught me more things about IMVU and I started talking to this guy that Arely had talked to previously and OMG I was really mean. I mean, real mean like Regina George on Mean Girls Mean.

We laughed a lot and I got to spend time with my best friend n_n.

BTW, I completed anther goal from my 101/1001 list: Learn to play Guitar Hero.

Kisses,

Juls.

The mirror reads:

“When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic, be enthusiastic and faithful, and you will accomplish your objective. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson

X-mas? Not for me

I don’t celebrate Christmas, it is a fact that has never bothered me at all. 

When I was little I used to spend it at my grandma’s and although they did celebrate, my parents didin’t. I never recieved any presents or believed in Santa or anything like that.

My parents always gave me what I wanted whenever I wanted it (if they could afford it, of course and if I deserved it) so I never longed for anything during Christmas. My family is very closed knitted so we never needed a holiday to be close.

I really can’t understand what the big deal with Christmas is, sure, I enjoy watching the lights and all that. I guess that we all have our own beliefs and our own traditions. 

I can understand why people get so shocked when I say that I don’t celebrate Christmas. It is so foreign for them having grown up in a world where Christmas is one of the most celebrated and longed for time in the year. It is just unconcievable for them to think about someone that just brushes it off as another day, just like I do. 

Well, I’m off to fecth some dinner and continue organizing my 101 thing in 1001 days list. It just needs to finish beign transalated and organized  (I wrote it in Spanish). When it’s done I’ll post it.

Kisses,

Julie.

P.S.: Sorry for not putting pictures of my new nephew but my sister has kidnapped my camera.
