Birthday Weekend

First of all, i wanted to say THANKS to everyone for their nicest birthday wishes. I wanted anted to have an amazing 20th birthday and TRUST ME; i did!
Friday @ I 8AM i had my appointment to get my hair done and guess what? It turned out GREAT! I loved it and everyone there loved too. By the way, guess who was ALSO there? Yup! The gay guy. *haha* He was with A girl!! :) He was trying to be like so nice with me, but uh-uh.
That day was also "Las Fiestas de San Sebastian" which is this 4 days-long party at San Juan (the capital) where they have crafts and stuff, shows and performers and during the night its party time! So, Jeremy and i decided to go early to see the crafts and get a good parking. We got all ready and went there. We were supposed to meet with lots of people, but... once there, it is very hard to find others and the phone lines get jammed. We met with tons of people from the gym. Maybe this year i'll have something new *winks* Anyways, at 11:58 we left our gym friends and started walking. I found my high school friend and her bf (her brother married my aunt) I was soo happy and excited and it was exactly 12AM and when i found him her bf said HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :) *haha* 'cause his bday is also this month and in school they always celebrate our bdays together... *haha* Jeremy was a little dissapointed because he told me he was staring at his watch since 11:30PM 'cause he wanted to be the first on saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY...*awwww* Anyways, they told me that some other school friends were there and i went with them, it's been a long time since the last time i saw most of them. I was sooo happy! We spent quite some time together. It was soo much fun! I bought one of the most famous drinks there called Papa Jack and i had it very soon that it made me kind of funny very fast. The glass is very big and only $5!! What a deal! ;) Then, finally i received Zahira's call and we met. But we were almost leaving, so it was kinda quick. We left and Jeremy stayed here. The traffic was kind of bad and i was scared because of some accident that happend the day before.

We woke up at like 11AM and he said HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me and my parents and all and he left and we were supposed to go out a little later. He left and i fell asleep. I was still soo tired. Then, he called and i got ready to go out. When he arrived he had this GORGEOUS + AMAZING flowers... for ME! I was sooo happy. They were yellow and orange tulips on a green base. OMG! It was soo colorful and pretty! We went to this very far place where they sell this tasty ice-creams *yummy* I was dying to go there again. Then, we were on our way home. I was kind of sad, because we were going home soo early but *sighs*. We came home and my mom told us that my godmother will came to go out and have a ride. We went to the family room and SURPRIIISEEEE!!! they place was fully decored and there were more people that i would imagine. There were my parents and my granmother, my bf's dad, sister, and nieces, my best friend Carla and obviosuly my boyfriend. I had such a wonderful time. :) It was mexican themed. We had all the food, decoration and all!

Here are some pictures:

Everyone @ the party!
Unless Carla who was taking the pic


Me & Carla


Me & Jeremy (my bf)

I received so many presentes. My friend Carla got me this gorgeous piggy pillow, The Forgotten Movie (that i wanted sooo bad), a piggy picture hanger, and this gorgeous wood piggy (from her mom)

I can just say that it was amazing, i had a wonderful time and i felt sooo loved!!

Today, my boyfriend and i went to develop the pictures. He took me to Pizza Hut to have my favorite pasta, then we went to the train. *haha* For us is a big deal, because the train is new in Puerto Rico and they are giving free rides.
Here's a pic of myself:

Me in front of the train

I had such a wondeful time. So sad it's over! It was a weekend-long birthday! The best birthday i've ever had (so far)

Once again, i want to say to THANKS to everyone for their birthday wishes and gifts and i wish you could have came to party with me.

Gotta go and take a bath!
Luvs to everyone!

5 days left for my Bday!

A Girl Scout Story

Whoa! Yeah, im definetly in the mood for bloggin' so here i am. Some nice and defiently worth-sharing stories coming...

Friday, (as i previosuly posted) i started doing some college stuffs, as i didn't wanted my end of week to be full of work. At night, Jeremy and i went to have dinner and then, as the it was raining so bad we decided to go to his house. I bought this PC Game to his biggest niece (who got a desktop computer for Xmas), so as soon as we got there and i installed it and they were all fighting over the computer. It was soo much fun! :) Then, we came back home, Jeremy is still hooked with Bubble Ice Age and i fell asleep in the sofa. When i woke up, it was already 4:30AM and my bf was next to me. *awww* So, we woke up at 10AM, got ready, and headed to the outlets. I was dying to do some shopping! And it was big! I bought too many cute stuffs. From tops, to belts, winter clothing that i love, my gym suplements. I had a great time. I also met two high school friends who i haven't seen in a while. He hugged me, kissed, he putted me up. *haha* So fun. I was soo happy to see them.

Sunday, my bf called me at 10AM to ask me if i wanted to go to pick his grandma at her brother's house. It was like hour and a half away, but i agreed. The ride there was soo pretty. I saw too many horses and now i want one.. :D We headed there, and... what he told me was true. We needed to leave the car somewhere and cross a river walking it through! OMG! It was sooo much fun but... the water was freezing. As soon as we put our first foot there, we were screaming for the bathroom. *haha*

Here's a pic of Jeremy and his grandma crossing the river:


While we were in the house where she was staying, we went to this pretty place there where they have lots of trees with fruits, a swing... It was so pretty! I saw an orange tree (i love oranges), so i threw bad oranges that were in the grass to the tree and some good ones fell, so we sat in the swing and eat them. :) Some ants bit me and my legs are so horrible and itchy... :(

Anyways, few hours later we went back to Jeremy's house. We told me a week ago, that there was a piggy mom with lots of little piggies and i wanted to see them so bad, so we went there. OMG! *shocked* He made my day! I was so happy! The pigs were enormous! I feed some of them and took tons of pics. I said that one of the piggies is mine and i called him "Pottie".
Here are some pictures:


This one, i love the pose! Sooo ME!!


Do i need to say the gender?


When Jeremy was feeding them, they all were like this and i was in the middle screaming.. *haha* They were also saying; "Oink, oink!" ;)


This is Pottie, his sibblings and mother


A close-up to Pottie.

My day was sooo much fun and piggy! :D I even met Jeremy's horse. His name is Bronco and he is sooo handsome!! I wanna ride him someday!

Then, we came home and guess what we found out? Little Piggy, is not little Piggy anymore... She's now Miss Piggy! :) She got her 1st period!!! :D We are so excited!!!

This weekend are "Las Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastian" that's a very important event of the year, were during the day there are lots of crafts and shows. But @ night, it's party time!!! :D They last from Thursday to Sunday and... this year my birthday is that Saturday. So im gonna party hardy! :)
I just talked to Jeremy and he told me he called some friends of ours and they planned to go to "Las Fiestas" on Friday (as i wanted), as an early celebration of my bday, PLUS a friend of ours bday was last week, but she couldn't celebrate 'cause she was in the ER with her baby son. So, we'll celebrate our bday together!! *yay* It'll be so much fun!!!

Well, that's it for now.
Luvs to all of you!!

8 days left for my Bday!

What i've been up to


Last time i was here, i talked about my New Year's Eve and how fun was it. Now a weeks later i've done so many stuffs.

On January 6th, we celebrated "Three King Day" it's somehow like Xmas, but instead of Santa, there are 3 kings coming with their camels and leaving presents *winks*. My parents woke me up to show me what they gave me. So many stuffs i wanted! Then, i got ready and went to my bf's cause 3 Kings left some sutffs for him and his nephews. They were all soo happy! Even his nephews had gifts for me... how sweet!!
Then, we left and he stayed here.

Sunday, we went to the movies. We watched "Closer" I loved that movie. Even tho i had to convince him, he went with me. Well, i didnt had to convince him, we are always trying to please each other; but anyways, i guess that's how all relationships should work. The movie was pretty nice and loved Natalie Portman's role there.

Monday, classes "started". I had just my C++ class, and guess what? The professor was absent. I was soo mad! But came back home and had lunch with my family.
The rest of the week, i've had my usual classes and have went to the gym.

Wednesday, we went to the gym but we did some rock climbing. I have all my gear so i guess i have to use it. Im soo into it. I've learned so many new techniques. I've been even bouldering! Then, we came back home so i could teach my boyfriend to rollerblade. *haha* yea, he dont know. So i started teaching him. We want him to learn very fast 'cause a week ago they opened an Ice Skating place here in Puerto Rico (very close to my beach apartment) and we will be going there. It'll be so much fun!

Thursday, my boyfriend and his dad came and made my bathroom. It was like a Pimp my Ride, but Pimpy my Bathroom. *haha* When i came back from college i was like *shocked* I couldn't believe how amazing it looks. They made me a vanity for my bathroom and they did all the proper installing and it looked like it was a never-used bathroom. Gotta love them! Will post pics later!

Yesterday, i didn't had my Physics exam, so i went to the mall. I got my Luis Fonsi DVD! I was so excited! Then me and my bf went to the movies (yes, again!) and we watched Elektra! I really loved it!! :) It was much metter than expected!

Today, i'll be spending some time doing college papers, as i have tons to do, so tommorow will be less stressful 'cause im going shopping...!!! :) This week i have so many things to do.

Ohh!! Did i said im addicted to envy? Well, yea i am but im talking about the message board... *haha* Please take a look at it: Envy

Plus, i want to send some love to: Magie who's been sick and i haven't heard from her. Hope she gets better soon ♥ Arleigh she has an awesome new layout ♥ Ziameze she's back... ohhh.. we missed her ♥ Arleigh and *hugs* and *kisses* to all my dailies, visitors and commentors. Love them all! ♥ ♥ ♥

Happy New Year 2005!

First of all, i want to say *again* HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone! Hope this new year brings you all the best and that you can all accomplish all your dreams. May this year be full of health, love, happiness and lots of good things.

I just came back from my bf's house. My stayed at the hotel was great! It all started with me and my bf being stucked on an elevator for 15 minutes *Oh! the fun!* There was a down on the electricity and we got stucked. Finally, the hotel people got us out. It was an "amazing" start for the weekend. We spent the night playing cards... the weather was very cold and it was raining. The next day we got ready to go to the pool but... it was damn cold, so... NOP! I ate and the foos was so yummy that i got asleep.. *haha* When i woke up (by a cute kiss on the cheek; guess from who ;)), everyone was already dressed to go down and celebrate New Year's Eve, so i hurried, took a bath and got ready! Meanwhile, i was watching a TV Special for New Year's Eve - a prerecorded show from a local channel and i worked on it; so i was very exciting watching it! I dances my ass off on the room.. *haha* They were laughing at me. I bought a bottle of rum, and i started drinking... so i was kind of funny! :) We countdown 'til 12AM ... 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...! HAPPY NEW YEAR! It was very romantic. I've never spent New Year's Eve with any boyfriend. So it was soo sweet. We had our last kiss from 2004 and our first kiss from 2005... *haha* How pathetic. On the Tv Special; they were asking the artist "What was the most important thing that happened to you on 2004?" and my bf whispered on my ear: "The best thing that has ever happened to me was you..." How can you don't love me while he is sooo sweet? *awww* Then, we ran again downstairs (after we all kissed and hugged) to watch the fireworks and then... straight to bed.



Saturday, still was kind of cold and raining, but anyways, my dad, my uncle, my bf and i ... had a walk on the beach, we even kinda climbed 'til we reached the top of the mountain. It was breath-taking! Oh! By the way, yesterday i hitted by head with the security box of the room; it hurted sooo bad and STILL hurts. Today, we had to leave at 11AM.
