UPDATE.

Pheew, I am absolutely exhausted; this has been a hectic last month or so. First of all i'd like to bring up my summer has finally started... well technically it starts after my exams which is next week; but I mean, its my last day of having to attempt to attend class. That actually sounds really bad, but come-on people skip once in a while; I don't mean to make that sound ungrateful for having an education and all, but its something you sorta do as a teenager I find. On to the next quick point, after quitting my job at this grocery store I worked at for almost a year then quit, I have now realized how shitty it is to be without money. I need a job. Like this summer. Hopefully. Wish me luck! OMG I have this plan imma share, something I can hopefully stick to. 
1. a) Get a job this summer so i can start saving up for my trip to Mexico in New Years and in May.
b) Work for my uncle and get payed every time i work which wont be that often seeing as i wont be working every day.
2. Save up, put some money aside for a new Blackberry. Hopefully i'll be able to get a new phone soon.
3. Put some money aside for College or University which i will be taking some courses in Latin American and Spanish. 
4. Save money for the Mayan Culture Program - (http://www.goabroad.com/providers/global-vision-international/programs/explore-mayan-central-america-53281) and/or (http://www.gapadventures.com/trips/mayan-adventure/CAM/2011/) or (http://www.gapadventures.com/trips/mexico-ancient-civilizations/MMC/2011/)
This would be such an accomplishment, but Note: this all i want to be taken place over the next lets say year and a half or two. Wish me Luck!


UPDATE: I will be taking a year off after i graduate next year so i can save up for School and when i hopefully move to mexico to work tourism. 

La Batidora!

I would absolutely LOVE to meet Don Omar. His music is so beautiful, every time i hear his songs i cant not help but dance, my hips automatically sway with the music and my feet dance with the beat. It reminds me of the Mexican Fiestas I went to on my last visit to Cancun, Tulum. The dancing, music, drinks, food it was ALL amazing. Next time someone goes to Mexico and hits up a Fiesta for the first time, you will know what i mean when i say I honestly felt so at home. Being Portuguese, i usually go to a lot of Fests they hold at the Portuguese Hall i attend; and they are almost just as colorful as a Fiesta in Mexico.  I remember going to this one festival that had about almost 700 people there. You had to hold each others hands just to make sure you didn't split up and get lost. When you visit a different Country you can't not experience their Culture and Traditions, its a must to visit a Fiesta.

Quiero ser capaz de,

My teacher brought up something today in class that made me think. So it goes like this, he was telling us some dramatic story about how last night a really good friend of his had been going through some 'bumps' in the 'relationship' department over facebook; during this time he had come across a status update with a link attached of a young boy playing 'Black Bird' on the guitar. Apparently after telling us the drama filled story, he had randomly decided to bring up this young artist's youtube video. The friend who had posted the link had commented on it and said "...Imagine how much more talented he will be when he reaches teen years". My teacher then asked us each this one question, "What is something you wish you could be an expert at?". What he meant by this is: what is something you wish you could learn or be able to do and master, that might either effect people in some way (ex. Musicians, Psychologists etc.) or even just to be able to say you can. I sat there trying to think, cause i usually don't take the time to actually sit and think of an answer when he goes around each day asking the 'Question of the day'; but i actually sat there and tried to come up with something. It finally came to me, my answer to his question was "I want to be able to show people the real world, the world that not many people know about.". My teacher later then said, 'If any of you do end up doing something that you think you have become an 'expert' at or even have somehow effected other people, then please do send me an e-mail.' - and i swear I'm going to end up making a list of these but, i have taken this as a challenge. I'm one of thous people who place a goal, but end up giving up someway through and its something that i can seriously say bugs the shit out of me. So here's a promise and a goal I am setting, and keeping -- 

"I want to be able to travel and learn, while showing people the world that not many people care or know about". 

Un sueno y una promesa.

I just recently decided that I'm going to start taking Spanish next year, even though its only going to be one semester (seeing as its my last year of high school.). I've already been on this great website which is like an online "course" if you will, that teaches you to Speak, pronounce, read and write Latin American [E-language]. [Luckily for me I'm Portuguese, and Spanish n' Portuguese are quite similar if you tweak up the accent and words a little.]. After grad I hope to go to college and take Spanish, Tourism and any Cultural courses then make my way down to Cancun and maybe work as a Tour Guide (Mayan Ruins etc.) or even work as one of thous airline representatives that work at the resorts and help you from getting settled, to booking tours, to changing your flight times. This big idea of me going down there after College was first brought up by my Aunt when we stayed at the Bahia Principe Tulum Resort in Cancun; we were talking about travelling and how i didn't really have an Idea as to what i want to do when i get out of school. Seeing as i just so happen to love travelling, culture and Mexico; she told me about how I should start taking tourism and Spanish for my last year in high school and in College, then maybe go down to Mexico for a bit. Of course my mom being my mom wasn't quite 100%  with the whole idea [seeing as she only cares about the fact that I get a high paying job] but you know what, i rather enjoy and have fun with my job then give two shits about the money. Money is money, it comes and it goes. I think she is also afraid of me failing, but you wont ever know until you try no matter how scary it seems. If you fail, hey that's life and that just so happens to be how you learn; if you fail then you have two choices; Give up, or try again. To tell you the truth i tend to give up quite a lot, and it isn't working out for me too well, so you know what? I'm going to make a promise. I promise that if I fail, I will not give up and try again. Lets see how long i can go with keeping this promise.
