Legoland and Crappy Hotels.

I HAVE BEEN AWAY ON VACATION! Well, I have been back home since yesterday. I traveled to Dallas to find enlightenment. No, I'm kidding. I went to Dallas for my brother's baseball tournament. Dallas was surprisingly HOT. I didn't really enjoy it. I did enjoy Grapevine Mills, though. Grapevine Mills happens to be the name of a mall in the city of Grapevine. Inside that mall, there was a place called Legoland. Legoland is, as you can imagine, a little "theme park" that includes countless items and activities having to do with Legos. I didn't go inside the actual park but I did enter the shop. I was pretty fascinated with a Buzz Lightyear sculpture made out of Legos. Sadly, there was no Woody Sculpture. In the shop, I searched for something that I would like, and I found the GREATEST THING POSSIBLE. I came across Harry Potter keychains. Ironically, there wasn't a keychain of Harry Potter. So, I took the liberty of saying how ridiculous that was. I think an employee overheard me, hehe. I, personally, like Ron better than Harry, though. I bought the Ron keychain. :)


I'm a drama abolitionist.


To get to Dallas, it took nine tedious hours. It took so much work for me to stop myself from screaming at my brothers. They can literally drive a woman crazy. Now, talking about traveling, while we were in the Dallas area, my dad was driving recklessly. We aren't familiar with the area so every time we had to be somewhere, we would have to input our destination on the Iphone. The Iphone was our savior in this trip. It also put us in danger, though. My brilliant father would have the Iphone in his hands while driving.-.- Many times, he would miss his turn and try to make up for it. He would turn at the latest times and cause the cars behind us to go ballistic. In one occasion, we entered the airport. Oh, how fun it was to hear my mother rant on and on. 


If the sun doesn't shine tomorrow, we'll survive. Alaskans do it for an entire month.


Last week, I challenged myself. The challenge was one of the most difficult I have ever faced. I challenged myself to turn on my ipod, put it on shuffle, and listen. I could not skip any song. I had never been able to accomplish that, but, this time, I did. I got up to 93 songs without skipping. That was quite an accomplishment, at least to me. 


Don't give up on life because life has never given up on you.


I don't remember if I have said this before, but I do not like bad words. Yes, everyone I know says bad words, but I don't feel comfortable saying them. I have never known why. I have typed them and I've said them. I mostly said them in sixth grade when I was trying to fit in. I didn't like sixth grade. The change was too fast. People were growing up too fast and I just didn't know what to do. I did everything to fit in. How foolish I was. I still am foolish but not as much. So yeah, I don't like bad words.


Is it normal to fall in love everyday with a different person? No, it is not. -.- It is ridiculous. 


I believe that hurting yourself is horrible. I also believe that cutting isn't the way out. Cutting is not the answer to anything. I know we are teenagers and we usually feel that the world is going to end but we don't need to cut. People who are starving in Africa have horrible lifestyles. They are literally sticks. They suffer everyday and not even they try to end their life. They continue fighting. Why can't everybody do that? It is difficult to get out of an emotional catastrophe but come on… Be strong. The only thing that cutting causes is scars and resentment.


Dorks are better than jocks. 


Last weekend, I visited South Padre Island and San Antonio. On Friday, we left Dallas to go to the Riverwalk. The Riverwalk was nice. We bought 3 dollar water bottles. -.- Okay, well the climax of San Antonio happened after we ate. I was sitting with my parents at a restaurant called Rita's (if my memory doesn't fail me) and my brother kept coming back for chips to feed the ducks. He pretended to eat them so he wouldn't get in trouble. -.- Well, I went with him and he asked me to tie a chip to a leaf of a plant. The leaf was really long and slender. I took some time but I tied it. Then, there was a bunch of kids sitting in front of us singing this rather annoying song. They would clap a beat and sing very VERY off tune while the ferries arrived. The guides on the ferries became annoyed because, of course, the kids were being a distraction to the tour. There was a couple of boys in the group that were a bit too much on the feminine  side. They thought they were so cool. 


I blame relativity.


My parents rented a beach house at South Padre Island. At first, I didn't want to go to the island. We had just arrived from Dallas and I was homesick, but of course we had to do what my mom wanted. We always have to do what she wants. Anyway, we got to the house and gave the beach a visit. We decided to walk to the big rocks at the far end. In total, we spent 3 hours walking. I was extremely sunburned at the end of it. My dad was angry at me because when we finally got to the rocks, my sister decided to climb the rocks that were inside the water. The rocks were wet and invaded by algae or whatever that plant was. My sister made it to the top and my little brothers followed. I guess I wasn't thinking because I didn't tell them to get off after a while of climbing. My littlest brother listened but my other brother didn't. The brother that didn't listen fell. My parents blamed me. -.- The day after, some friends came by. Our goal was to build a humongous castle with a jacuzzi in it. We began digging. We didn't finish, but we did make a somewhat big hole. At night, we went crab hunting. We caught many crabs. We also found a dead fish that probably wasn't able to reach the water. The tide was extremely low. We put it in the bucket too :) so the crabs could eat it, haha. That night, we found two red buckets and A LOT of sand toys, hehehe. I really enjoyed the beach at night. The tide is so low that you can see the sand with ripples that is usually under water during the day. It felt amazing to my feet. The day after, I got sick. I think it was the food that we ate. I, since then, hate fish. I didn't go to the beach that day. I wasn't feeling well enough, so I took a nap. When I woke up, the Women's World Cup was on. I watched USA battle with Japan. I live in the United States and I'm loyal to the US but I wanted Japan to win. I really believed they needed the victory. They needed to have happiness in their life after the tragedy that happened earlier in the year. They needed inspiration to keep going. I was glad Japan won. Finally, the day after, we left. I was excited to leave because that house was too cold and the blankets sucked.


Stop burning the scallops, you DONKEY! >:/ lol


Chef Ramsay is AMAZING! I admire him so much. I wish I could cook like him. Wait, I wish I could be the best at something in life. One day, I will be the best. I just have to put my heart into whatever I do. I already know that I'm not going to be the best in anything that has to do with music because I am horrible in band, haha.


I like the anxiousness of wanting to brush my teeth after buying a new toothbrush. :)


The hotel that I stayed at in Dallas was an absolute mistake.


Arrivaderci.
