Siblings

I made this slide of me and my younger brother and sister, Tonito and MOlly.
I truly love these two, though they can drive me crazy some times.
I picked my favorite pictures from the last days.
Here it goes...

My 2nd date...FAILED!

yES.... it was my 2nd date ever...and it failed
fortunatedly I think it is the best thing could have ever happened.
This boy... I have been talking with him for months now, he's nice, good looking...not
I am a good looking girl and have lots of virtues, to be wasted with someone that I have serious doubts of his interest in me PLUS he has serious vices that I absolutly dont share.
So yesterday he texted me asking if I wanted to go to the theater with him, i was excited I have to be honest... i was... but I also had doubts, which I think is something that should not happen in this kind of situation.
Oh and I also have to mention that it was incredibly HARD to convince my mom and grandma to let me go... since I have not seen this boy before, only talk to him through the internet and cell phone. You should have heard them... they were like:
"don't go! we probably won't see you ever again!"
"what if he is a psyco?"
"your sister has to go with you and watch you from a proper distance at all times"

I mean... I am 20 years old! 20!!!!!!!
its true...Guatemala can be a very dangerous place but... I don't hang out with crazy people!

Anyway... he texted me around noon today saying he is going to have to babysit his sister and nieces... whatever!!!!
I showed my mom one of his pictures in Facebook, these were her words:
"you are not going out with him...never ever"
I guess the can of beer and the cigarrete in his hand didn't help at all. I already knew he wasn't the best guy for me... but I really like him...well... the way he talks to me...
I guess I am starting to feel really lonely
Thank God I have this journal to get this weight off me.

My baby Angelina can stand all by herself!!

wohoooo! my baby is standing!!!!!!
man! that makes me soooooo happy and sooo proud!
I remember when she came home... such a tiny little peanut... and I loved her to pieces since the first time I saw her. She is learning to do so many new things, it is really sad to be so far away from her and not be part of her everyday life. I miss her like crazy!
I thank Angelina's mommy so much for keeping us updated, she is so kind! even sharing 1 or 2 minutes of this baby with us makes us so excited!
So here goes the last video of my baby girl standing! she is the cutest child on earth!

Now I know why!

Now i know why my pictures would not upload to my post! haha I really need help with this

computer issues!!

Well here they are... it is funny after they left I really missed having to feed and clean them. I

really hope they are doing just fine with the rest of Maco's pets.

I, Hate & You... I promise I will always remember you... and I am sorry for naming you with those ugly names hehehe...

Oh! and you were so brave everytime I gave you those testosterone shots. I hated to do that.

Though it was really gross the way you pooped every 3 minutes....

My little chicken

So.. here is a few pictures of my chicken... they were really good pets... sure they pooped a lot but at the end they dealt very well with the daily shots and everything.
By the way I forgot to say in my last post that.. at the begining I really hated having to feed them more than 3 times a day and having to clean all of their messes, so I named them I, HATE and YOU. I know they're really bad names but... those were my feelings at the time...ha! oooh! and they are going to become beautiful roosters some day... they were boys.

Well... lets get to the pics

:( i could not upload the pics ...
i will try later....

In memory of I... HATE...and YOU

Well, I want to make this post to remember my three little ones... I, HATE and YOU... my three little chicken who I took care for 9 days.
It all started with an experiment we were asked to make in as part of the Fisiology class (I have no idea if it is called that way in English... anyway) all of the members of my group own dogs, cats or other pets... even ducks. We are about 15 people in this class, 12 of us are in the same group, half of the group were smart enough to choose the gold fish we also had to experiment with... I forgot to mention this was even before the exams week came... so everyone in the group said their pets were going to kill the chicken... to be honest I am not an animal lover, niether is my family plus we live in a small apartment in a fourh floor so... believe me there is not enough space for any kind of pet here PLUs we are barely home and everyone is just so busy with their own concerns that we even eat at different times.
At the end I could not find a way to convince them and I had to take care of the chicken for a week that could turn into 2 weeks... and give two of them daily testoterone shots!
Let me tell you people this chick ate all the time and pooped every 3 minutes!
I took care of them fairly well... they were fat and strong by the end of the week and every one in my family was in love with them... I kind of ended up loving them too.
I had to let them go... but we missed them the first few days. They are with other farm animals now. I might post a picture of them later.... by now I have to go to a mom and daughter day out! finally! a break from school which i skipped today! ha!

Yesterday....At hospital training

I am such a lame blogger! ha! im always so busy it is so hard to find time to keep up posting... as usual there has been a lot going on in this busy family and study life
Soooo... first of all... another week of test gone, they haven't released those grades but im praying to God they are better from the last time.
Me and my friends have been working on calculating our scores for the finals and checking if we get to the 41 points we need to have the right to get our final tests.
This is getting really scary!!! I am so afraid... if I can make it, it means I am going to be another year behind! I know I have been a little lazy but I promise I will be better there is no way back now.
I even have a good place among all of the students in the same year as mine.
GOD PLEASE LET ME GET TO THIRD YEAR IN MED SCHOOL!!!
I am learning so much! but sometime it seems like my brain thinks it is waayyy too much! ha!
Yesterday I spent around 4 hours at the hospital... I made a fairly good clinic chart to the patient I was asigned to. Though she didn't talk much. It is hard to get words our of them sometimes.
Thank God the dr. teaching us loves me! ha! when he was asigning patients and it was my turn he said..."lets see... I like you so lets find an "easy" patient for you"... at least he tried... all of the "easy" patients where taken! :s
My mom took so long to pick me up I even had to wait outside! IN THE STREET!!
Believe waiting alone outside of a public hospital in Guatemala City is not an easy thing... there is a lot of violence out there PLUS I am an overprotected child!
haha

I just have to...

I just have to show my baby girl Angelina in the latest video her mom sent us!
She has grown so much and she gets prettier and prettier every day!
God I love her!!!!!! and her mommy and Joan for keep sending us these videos and pictures!!
I wish I could be right there too... every time I see them I just want to hold her like I used to...

p.s. i have never posted a video here so... i hope it works!

Another week of hell its almost over!

Gosh i am sooo busy i have only managed to write a few post! I have a word for that LAME!
I made this blog mostly to practice my english.... though a have nobody to correct me or even post any comments... yet!
It is also a great way to take some of the stress away... even when I have lots of people to talk to right here in my house... maybe its because there is 5 of us living in a small apartment and I just need a lonely time.
This round of exams went fairly better than the last ones.... which means there was a lot less sleep! which also caused me a terrible cough! I had not been sick since... I am not even sure...March? February?... All I know is that it was before Angelina left for her forever home.
Man i miss that baby girl! Angi (Angelina's mom) has been very very kind to us and has kept us updated with all of Angelina's achievements and also with Videos and Pictures!!!!
My mom and I are absolutely thrilled with them! Angelina and her big sister Andrea look sooo happy! They are both such beautiful girls. Hope someday I can see them again, I really feel as if they were my family. I love those girls to death!
And believe I will get to them sooner or later.

I know... the title of the post has nothing to do with its content but... what the heck? it is My Blog after all! ha!
I still have one more exam tomorrow.... after that the party time is supposed to show but... with this cough all i want to do is lay in bed! I bet i will find a way to fix that!

Catching up... part 2

Well... to keep on with the story... a few days after the casting took place my aunt Cynthia called from Chicago, where she has reside for about 18 years now, and tells my grandma she and her family are coming to visit for a week in July (see it is a catch up...almost a month ago!) so... we are all super excited 'cause we haven't seen them for almost 5 years!

I guess she doesn't miss living in Guatemala after all... I don't blame her if I could live in the US... well, I am a patriotic and a family person so I guess that even if I lived in some other country I would come back to my country often.

So my aunt Cynthia, uncle John and my cousins Matthew (9) and Joshua (13) are coming, as usual my grandma complete freaks out getting her house ready for the arrival... as if they were royalty, my mom kind of freaked out too... she bought all the beds new quilts, courtains and all that bedroom stuff...there was a big sale at the time in this big department store so we were there like 3 or 4 times in a week!

So... it was the day of the arrival... unfortunatedly it was a tuesday.... which meant I had a anatomy lab the next day... I had been lazy the weekend before and had other homeworks so I had not read ANYTHING for that lab... and believe me.. it is not one of my favorite subjects...meaning... not very good grades :s

My mom insist I should go to pick them up in the airport... we all thought it was going to take about an hour or maybe two top... so... I was stupid and said yes.

Well my uncle was already waiting there and had an hour standing in front of the door when we arrived... as a nice coincidence the choir my sister and I belonged a few years ago was there waiting for an orchestra from who knows where... so we entertained ourselves talking to them and catching up for it had been years since the last time we saw them.

Well.... we kept waiting and waiting and waiting for almos FOUR HOURS there!!

I was really really close to shooting myself and finally they showed up thru the door... we went back to grandma's house and had a really late dinner of dry chicken and other stuff....overall it was good but I WAS GOING TO FAIL THE LAB THE NEXT MORNING.... what else could I do?

It was almost midnight by the time we got home and I had to read about 40 pages about the liver!!! not going to happen!!!

So I read what I could and still FAILED!! AARRGGGG!!!

I blame my mom and myself!!

I am trying my best honest to keep up with my schooling.... it is hard! What the hell was I thinking when I decided to study medicine? I really like it... but i think it would have been a lot easier if I had studied in law school!!! whatever... I am still doing my best and WILL BE A DOCTOR SOME DAY... or die in the attempt ha!

oh! and we had a blast with my aunt and her family... my cousins are older now and so we can interact a lot more than the last time we saw them... well Joshua is autistic so... he doesn't have much to say and I think you can't get really close... but... Matthew is hilarious!

They were here for a very short time so.. hopefully next time we will have a lot more fun... I wish I had gone to the same waterpark they went... but life is life...

my family says I am very alike to my aunt... have the same kind of character, attitude, etc. and my sister is like my mom... we are the only granddaughters, the rest are all boys! and I am the oldest and my aunt is also the oldest of her sibblings.

I don't think I look like her... but we do have a lot in common.

catching up... part 1

well, it has been quite a while now since my last post... there has been a lot going on... so i have been busy trying to survive.

I am not even sure of what my last post was about...i think it was about the 3rd row of exams, they already passed... i got dreadfull grades this time.. i was doing soo good, but i didn't have a good start that week and the rest of it was as bad as the begining.

The reason I didn't start well was because the friday before the exams week my sister attended this big casting from a reality show called "la academia", it was very famous a few years ago... non of the contestants became a really famous singer but they did appear on tv! ha!

My sister sings really good so we thought it could not be that hard... so we showed up that day at 6 am, it was my sister, her boyfriend, my mom and me... I had class later on that morning so my mom and I left at about 9 am... my sister didn't perform until 12pm!!!!!!

Believe that line was as long as the whole block!! there were 6000 people doing the casting!

well at least it was worth it...SHE PASSED THE FIRST ROUND OF CASTINGS!!

we were all super excited!!!!

Here she is... I took this picture when we got home...we were all so proud of her!

She had to show up the next day at 10am to the 2nd round, so that morning we were there at around 8 am...at noon all the contestants (a lot less than the first day), started casting, my sister was informed they were too many and she and a lot of other people had to be back at 5pm!!!! We were SHOCKED! We had been waiting for 5 hours at that point and home was too far away and gas way too expensive!

So we waited and waited and waited... we were lucky she didn't have a really high number in her bracelet! At 6.30 pm she was out... THEY DIDN'T PICK HER!

Siriously, she sings really well! but after casting more than 6000 people... i guess they were searching for something else... or someone a little bit more an actor than a singer... whatever...

it was not the end of the world.... JUST THE END OF MY MEDICAL CAREER!!!

i had to read 13 chapters of my fisiology book in one single day! It is hard enough to even finish two chapters in one day! and after spending almost a whole day standing under the sun and the rain I was complete exhausted!! But of course the drs. at school would not understand that! I did my worst fisiology exam that day.... :(

Not even blood tears could fix that... so the next step is burn my pretty eyelashes on the next exams to balance my grades... something hard enough to do....

wELL It was a really nice experience... I even got a picture with someone "famous" ha!! and I was there to support my sister... to be honest I would have love to do the casting myself... but I can't sing that good and I had to pretend I was really worried about that exam :p
