2 Months! It's been two months since my last post and have I been on and off one of the craziest rides in my life. On August 31st I was robbed! My laptop stolen along with my college books and I felt as though my life was ripped from me. I was super bummed.
My niece and nephew have been living with me since the beginning of August and it's been one hell of a ride. My nice just turned 15 last Friday and I did her makeup! She looked like a princess and I took lots of pictures of her.
My nephew and niece have been really good and have been doing great in school. Maritza got 2 B's, 2A's, and a C. In my opinion thats excellent! She's to turn that C into a B by the end of her Freshman year. She's in swimming and thespian club (Theatre), and Japan club which will take her to Japan by next Summer.
Juanito has been a little pulgita as my mom likes to call him (Flea). He's a little monkey in my eyes but he's doing very good as well. He clearly understands English but his trouble comes when he has to speak and write it as he didn't practice it in Mexico but watching nothing but English cartoons hence why he lacks reading/literary comprehension. He's been reading (not by choice) as I have to practically force him to sit down and read for about 30 minutes a day. He's truly a bright kid it's just getting him to sit down and do the work is the trouble but he does it nonetheless. Once he's doing his work he makes it a challenge which is great because he doesn't feel like it's a duty and gets into it trying to perfect his math skills or reading comprehension.
As for me, I'm taking phychology of human relations, intermediate algebra, and English 2 this semester. I'm loving all my classes. I really enjoy my Phychology and English class the most, but can't complain much about math either. Mr. Sword is an amazing teacher with lots of patience. And patience is what I need!
My boyfriend and I have been doing amazing. He bought me a new macbook last night because he wanted me to be happy again or at least a little less stressed. He is so good to me; treats me like royalty. Nothing less than what I deserve. Although I've got a replaced MacBook I will never get back all those treasures I had on my old one :( . Now I know to get a tracking app on my new Mac and also a backup drive just incase. I am now able to do notes on my laptop as opposed to doing them by hand which can take me forever and a day and I can get back to doing some blogging and video making. I stopped making videos because I didn't have anything to dowlload the media into or anything to edit the movies in, so no point.
I'll also be having another blog sale or YT sale. I'm getting rid of all my shoes, boots, and clothes that I no longer fit into :( I've gained all my weight back and then some but it's all good. I'm happy and that's what counts. I keep telling myself I'll start eating healthy tomorrow, but then tomorrow comes and it says the same about the next day lol. I'm not going to start eating or losing weight until I'm completely ready so I can commit because this losing and gaining of 5-10 lbs here and there is not good for my body or me.
Anyway, that's it for now...I'll catch up later...

Red Roses
Hey World!
What do red roses symbolize for you? For most, red roses would symbolize love and affection. Although I must agree this is the generalized characterization for red roses, my experience with them hasn't been the same. My experience with red roses hasn't been the best and that has tarnished the way I feel about receving them.
My boyfriend Victor and I went dancing this weekend and while out he wanted to buy me some red roses. I asked him not to because they were unnecessary. He couldn't comprehend why I felt this way. I explained to him that I did not need roses as a symbol of his love for me because his actions already said so. I also told him I rather be surprised with roses and receive them when they come from the heart not because I'm trying to be convinced of something.
I know they say it's not good to compare one relationship to another, but I feel I must for the sake of this example. My previous relationship Roger, only gave me roses after our relationship had withered. In the the three and a half years we spent together, Roger never in the time we were together gave me roses. When he gave me roses at the end of our relationship I admit that a slight grudge against roses grew inside of me and towards Roger. To me, receiving roses from him after our relationship had crumbled only symbolized that he was trying to mask the troubles with this sign of love and affection as if receiving red roses would make all our troubles go away. They did not. Those roses only became a reminder of why our relationship did not work.
When Victor and I were togehter 5 years ago, receiving roses was a whole different story. Victor lavished me with them, and I knew they truly symbolized what he felt at the time. Today I don't find it necessary for him spending up towards one hundred dollars for a dozen or two of roses. I know that he loves me and that's all I need. I don't need something material to characterize it for me because his actions truly say it all for me.
Even though I did not allow him to buy me roses that night, I knew his intentions were pure and it made me happy that he understood and accepted my reasoning and in return gave me a smile instead.
Red roses truly are a symbol of love and romance, of devotion and care, but when you receive them under the wrong circumstances, it is easy to become dissillusioned with what they truly symbolize.
Have you ever receieved roses under the wrong circumstances?

I went to the movies last night to watch Zookeeper with my little cousin Carlitos and Victor, my ex Victor from about five years ago, more on him later. The movie was fun to watch with LOL moments and a very important universal theme that serves as a reminder for some of us and an eye opener for others. It's defintely a fun movie to watch with the family or anyone that enjoys a good comedy. I wasn't able to take any OOTD pictures but I managed to take a snapshot of my face with my phone and a few with my camera. Once I upload those onto my computer I'll udate the post with a more justifying picture of the makeup.
I'm looking forward to watching Captain America, Harry Potter which come out Next Friday. Another movie I'm eager to watch is Cowboys & Aliens only because I'm a fan of Daniel Craig's work and because he's a hottie. And the movie I'm most anticipated abotu watching which will be out in about three weeks on August 5th, Rise of the Planet of the Apes! That movie looks awesome. If you have yet to watch Planet of the Apes I suggest you watch it! It's awesome.
Any movies you've seen or planning to watch soon?

OOTD & Video Update
Hey World!!
Here's an outfit I wore last Friday! I was in the mood to take a picture and do a video since I had a lengthy weekend off away from school and work. You may notice I've gained a few pounds! I still feel good though!! It's all going to my ass and damn back rolls! You know, those big lovely rolls I have so much love for!
Anyway, Here's some pictures of my outfit. I went to the movies to watch Transformers:Dark of the Moon and I guess it was all right. It felt weird not seeing Megan Fox in it, but she asked for it talking like that about her director!
The movie was all right, after a while I just became overwhelmed with all the action! 3 hours was a lot of time and a lot of action. I began to yawn towards the end, wondering how much longer till it ended. There were a few memorable and pretty funny moments, plus I admired the view! What's not to love about Shiah? He's hot!!
P.S. The video is being processed so once that's done, Ill post it here.
Hope everyone is having a great Summer!!

Makeup Job - Smokey Purple
Hey world,
One of the things I do on call is makeup. It's not my passion, nor a job, but it brings in extra income from time to time. My co-workers wife wanted her makeup done the day they baptized their two boys and called upon me to get the job done.
I think she looked amazing and she has beautiful eyes! I think I need to learn how to do hair and maybe add that on my list of services offered :)
