Little Details

About a year ago a friend of mine wrote about the little details that one can find on people and how most relationships lasts a long period of time because they find little in their partners and that helps them like them more, or something like that. I really liked that post of hers and as soon as I read it I started to realize that it is really true what she said, not necessarily just with romantic relationships, but also with friends. I remember that when I read it I took note of my friend's details that I liked. It could be something physical like a smile or something psychological like making me feel better.

Having this said, I'd like to write down some of my friend's details and characteristics that I think make them be who they or are part of themselves. I won't write their real names to avoid problems and instead I'll write famous names.

Susan: She has this tendency to put her left hand on her back when she draws or writes for a long time. I had noticed this a long time ago and thought it was adorable because she looked like a little girl. Also, she had pretty green eyes.

Lucy: When she smiles, two small dimples form on her face and I like to poke them. Also, she gets frustrated really easily and that makes me laugh even harder. But one thing I like a lot of her is that she always inspires me to work (study, go to class, not be lazy,) and she was actually the one that inspired me to write my blog. She says funny the word "dude". 

Leonardo: He has a small spot under his right eye and another one under his lip. I don't know why, but I really like those two spots, they are part of his personality or something...I don't know. Also he has really nice teeth and therefore he has a nice smile.

Raphael: He has this tendency to start saying "Yes" "No" "Why?" whenever he is working in something. It is really funny but he hasn't done it in a long time. Also, he is always trying to help everyone in anything he can without thinking it two times. He has a really big heart.

Donatello: He tells the best "bad jokes" ever. Also, his hair moves funny when he laughs. 

Michelangelo: He has a funny laugh and when he doesn't understand something he says "Whaaaat?" really funny. Also, I really like how he gets really excited talking about math or computers. 

Meg: She has a really funny sneeze and a really funny laugh. She makes weird/funny faces that always makes everybody smile. I really can be as weird as I want when I'm with her.

Jo: She amazes me how she can be really serious, but when she gets excited she is like a little kid on Christmas. Also, it is surprising how much she knows about ... stuff. If you have a doubt about something, she probably knows even a little bit about it.

Beth: She has a lot of freckles on her face that makes her even cuter. Her smile looks really shy but I know she is actually having fun. Her smile is a nice plus on her personality. I like it that she has grown a lot to me this past years.

Amy: She also has a lot of freckles, and one very important detail about her is that she has an awesome accent that sound pretty! I like how she says certain words, and she always teaches me new thing. She sometimes uses funny words too.

Blossom: I always pictured her as a very brave person. Her curls jump a lot when she jumps or run and it is funny. She doesn't care what people think about her.

Bubbles: She is very strong and very flexible. Also, she amazes me how she does a million things and she has time for every single one of them. She dresses really beautifully. 

Buttercup: She has a loud and funny laugh...actually she is very loud in every sense and I like that. She is friends with everybody.

In conclusion, I think that everyone in this world have at least one small characteristic that draws people's attention. Or perhaps something they do that as soon as they think of that person they think of that something. For example when someone says Buttercup's or Meg's names, the first thing to come to mind is their laughs. You shouldn't be ashamed of this little details because at the end that's what makes you who you are. A friend says I remind him of a pillow (I don't think he is completely serious) but well, that is a way people picture me. 

Just remember to be happy and pay attention to this details because you never know when is the last time you'll see them.

Lots of love

Friendship

Lately I've been spending too much time with a guy friend of mine, Pablo, and he is a really awesome guy. I don't like him in a romantic way or anything, but he is really cool. He makes me laugh, is smart, helps me, and he also has a temper, but most of the time he is funny. Also, he always starts arguing over stupid stuff and end up laughing...at least I do. The point is that yesterday I was telling a girl-friend of mine how i really like him and how I am afraid people will think I am in love with him or something because I spend too much time with him and love bothering him, but she told me that it doesn't look that way, that he always calls me mom (because I remind him of his mother) and I call him son (because he is like a baby) and that helps clarify our relationship. I was so glad she told me that because I was afraid he would think that I liked him.

The point is that friendships between boys and girls can be really fun but I am afraid most people always say things like, "oh you look awesome together" or someone will think that one likes the other. But boys and girls can be friends without having to develop some kind of crush on the other. I mean, sure, I can admire some of my guy friends for their intelligence, or their nice teeth, or something like that, but that doesn't mean I like them. Get what I mean?

I'm just saying that thanks to God I have developed a better friendship with this guy because I love attention and he gives it to me. And not only this guy Pablo, but I think that this semester the relation with my friends have grown pretty much. I feel like I can connect better to my friends, and that I know them better most of them, specially the guys because I didn't used to talk so much to them. I am so glad that I have such amazing guys really, because at the end, friends are supposed to always be there for you and help you when you are in trouble, and make you laugh when you are sad. I love my friends and I couldn't have asked for better friends on my life really. I mean sure, they are weird...but then again, I am very weird too.

Lots of love

I want to be an artist

A while ago some friends and I were talking about  how they want to work in something that wont annoy them with time because jobs can be pretty frustrating. I told them to work doing what they like, but they told me that if they did what they like like for example, making videos, then the fun would go away and that would be pretty sad. However I told them that I could play music my entire life and never get tired. Of course they told me I was crazy and that in some years they would come and see me to see if I still liked music but the truth is that I am very passionate about my music. I love to play the piano for fun, and to distract myself, and to have some time alone, and I love that even though I already know plenty of stuff I keep learning new things every day, and new techniques. It is like magic for me. 

Since I already ended my exams, I've been playing more the piano and it is so fun. I've been trying to manage to play a minuet I once played again, and today I finally played it all beginning to end with a lot of passion and feeling. I was so excited when I finished the song and was almost jumping with excitement, also since there was nobody home, I was able to play as hard as I wanted. Oh god I simply adore to play music! Really guys, if you feel bored, or stressed, try to learn to play an instrument, it can be pretty fun and it helps a lot. Music helps you express yourself.

oh, and guys, you really need to watch this. It is a dancer. 

Lots of love my darlings

Freedom

Finally I'm done with exams and projects! I got a 100 on my math exam and I passed my physics exam, barely but I passed. Also, I already took my Spanish mock IB exam, and I think I did pretty well. I am so very excited really, I mean, I already finished another stage on my high school, and I am about to graduate. I am going to miss a lot of my teachers and all the things they taught me. I feel like I am about to cry, and I still need to pass my final exams, but I can be so emotional sometimes.

In about two weeks, on the last day of school, the people that are about to graduate go to the field and we toss colors to the air and water and we all dress in white, so we end up all colorful and wet and it looks so fun. I saw past generations do it and I can't wait to do it to. It is something I've been waiting for too.

Freedooom! I am almost done! and then summer!!!!

Lots of love

A wonderful day and then it came down

Today was my first day of classes after a week due to a break we had here in Mexico. I thought I would wake up filling really tired and pissed because I didn’t sleep well, but actually I woke up pretty well. I woke up early and had time to put some pretty makeup on and smooth a little bit my hair. Also, I had my milkshake in the morning as always and didn’t forget my lunch as I usually tend to do.

The entire day was really funny, one friend Pablo was really happy or I don’t know, but he made me laugh all day long together with my other friends. First was physics and we just had a review and then business were I felt really smart because I could answer the whole case without help of a guy friend (he actually wanted me to help him). Then we had a short class where I was really excited telling Alice about a girl I found on youtube that makes awesome violin covers of any song and how I wish I can play like that someday.

After that, I had another class called Investigation, and my only two girl-friends in that class decided to skip it, so I had to stick with Pablo and Fer who were working on an assignment I had already done. However, it was really funny because I was looking at dresses and Pablo was saying how the models looked really pretty and we ended up arguing about how girls are so complicated and how men are so simple (thing we always do…always) and I just ended up laughing because Fer was just like “shut up already please”. And then my free period with everybody and we talked about prom, and dresses, and horrible songs, etc. After that I went to my math class where I basically just decorated my work and did nothing, but it was funny.

After class, we always gather at our place in high school and talk about nothing. But this time (and this is the best part of my day) Pablo was really, really funny. I guess he was bored, but he was acting really funny. Talking weird, and walking weird, and he would just get all loose and fall on top of me so I would catch him but he is very tall and I am really small so I ended up all squished. He was saying how I was like his mom, and that he liked us (my friends and I) and I don’t know what was wrong with him but it was really funny. He was acting like a little kid who want attention, but he really made me laugh with all his stupidity. I had the best laugh in a long time and even remembering him doing that makes me laugh again.

And I am sorry I literally just wrote my whole day here, but when I arrived home I was really happy and excited about the long day and wanted to tell my mom all about it but she ignored me. Usually she gets distracted easily but she listens to me. But today she was “really busy” finding a place where to buy something for the car. And I don’t know if I had already said this, but I really like all the attention on me all the time, kind of an attention whore, but without the whore part…I don’t know what I’m saying. And she was all grumpy so I decided to play the piano to relax, but she wouldn’t let me because she was using the phone, so I just locked myself on my room until she ended all her business. 2 hours she took and she was arguing with my brother too. 

So basically, I had a really good day today, but little by little it started to come down…

Love

My hair sucks and my face even more

I really don't like the climate right now. It has been sunny, and then cloudy, and then raining. Living where I live can be a real bummer. My hair can't be controlled at all, it is really dry and has a lot of volume. Also, i end up tying my hair in a pony tail but it still looks awful. And that is not all, my face is filled with pimples right now and I start classes tomorrow. I feel ugly and I don't want to put on makeup tomorrow just to go to class, but I guess I have no other choice because if I don't put some makeup on I will be complaining all day long that I look awful.

In other news, I convinced a friend of mine to do my makeup on prom day and I found my prom dress in a small random shop. It is the one on the right. I wasn't convinced at the beginning, but my friends and family say that it looks great and the price wasn't that bad, so I guess I made the right choice. I went looking for dresses saying "no pink, and no shiny" and that is exactly what I ended up with. Life can be really ironic sometimes. But anyhow, getting a dress is off the list.

Lots of love

Sophie

P.S. I saw that many people liked my messed up dream post a lot, so I think that i will post more dreams of mine when I can remember them and perhaps add a small dream analysis of my own.

Relaxation and Movie Day

So I have wanted to do this for a really long time. Have a movie day with my girl-friends in the open. Today is finally that day (excited!). I have a small balcony where I put some pillows and blankets on the floor. Also, my father has a big white screen with a projector that he is going to let me borrow. I already cleaned the area and took all the blankets outside. In a little while I will put everything in order and will take some pictures so I can upload. But basically I want something like the picture on the left. I hope we can relax and be just us for a little while because school had us pretty stressed for the past few weeks and this week was free for us.

Lots of love

In search of a prom dress

So yesterday I finally went looking for a prom dress with my mom and, oh lord! It is very tiring! Going from shop to shop, putting one dress on and showing it to the people, and then another, and another. But the women who work on those shops are fun sometimes because they give you a lot of compliments so you purchase a dress.

However, when I finally found an amazing dress something happened...it was the same dress as a friend of mine but in another color. Oh the horror! But it was okay, I didn't mind since I didn't exactly fell in love with it. Anyway, when I finally found a gorgeous dress...it was $450 USD I mean, for a dress I'll wear once? No thank you. My mom would probably spend about $200 on my dress, but I don't want her spending do much, you know with the bad economy and all.

We went to many other stores, but I was tired, and everything was really expensive. But the trip wasn't in useless because we now know that yellow looks awesome in me. Also red and basically shiny, lively colors. Also, the heart shaped cut is nice for me, but it has to be in the perfect size so no accidents happen. And there is one cut that my mom really liked and it is really comfortable that also looks good on me, it is something like halter (image on the right) or I dunno. Also, an open back is something I really liked.

Waaaa, I really hope I find something that looks nice on me and isn't very expensive. Wish me luck.

Lots of love

Sophie

P.S. if you know what is the name of the cut of the dress on the image, please comment or something.

Messed up dream

This is going to be a little creepy or funny to some of you, but I had the weirdest dream I had had in a long time. I was about to take my final German exam and suddenly I switched bodies with a very good guy friend of mine. I don't remember much (because it was a dream) but I think I never saw him in my body or I in his body, nevertheless I knew we had switched. I was all like "Oh yeah! he is going to take my German exam and I'm going to have a hundred" because he is so smart. However there was a catch, I entered the exam and the teacher gave me his exam and I knew nothing. I tried to answer a question but decided to leave the rest on blank.

When we got out of the exam, my friend (in my body) was happy because it was really easy, until I told him how he was going to fail the exam and I was going to pass. It was really funny though. Also, I was jumping in excitement because I felt really light and plain. I could jump and do things without problem (because he is very fit) also, I didn't have my boobs on the way. Suddenly I realized I was acting like a girl in a guy's body and stopped jumping. Then the horror...I had to use the restroom, but obviously I was all like "eeeeeew, I don't want to use the bathroom as a guy" and I was suddenly tied by my hand to another girl-friend's hand. It was really weird. I don't know how or when, but the dream changed suddenly to something else but I still though I was a guy in a girl's body and the other way around. 

I woke up like "What in the hell did I just dream?" Yet I think it was really funny this dream. And obviously I omitted a lot of details, but basically, that was my dream. I couldn't stop thinking about it all day. I hope you never have to dream something as weird as this. Lol 

Lots of love

Prom

Something like this or I dunno

So...prom is just around the corner and all my friends and I already have our dates. I frankly don't know why this awesome guys invited us because we are sooo weird! We are always bothering each other about how we don't deserve this guys, but I know that they are weird too. Also, they know what they are getting into, I mean, I asked my date to prom before he could ask me, and my friends were like "he knew it would happen, it is you we are talking about!" and I know they are right, I am really impatient. Now, the only problem left is that I don't have my dress yet. I just found out that most of my friends already found their dresses, and I haven't even gone looking for dresses. However, I just found a store that has 50% on dresses, so I'll tell my mom to take me there tomorrow and see if we find anything cute. I really hope to find a dress that is cool, fits me, and is cheap enough for me to purchase. I already have an idea of the dress I want, so I also hope to find it. I want it purple, with a heart shaped cleavage and loose on the bottom.

Wish me luck.

Lots of love

Sugar Rush

Yesterday was finally my last day of classes for an entire week! I am so happy, we really needed this break, and we are all exhausted, even the teachers! Anyhow, almost all my male friends decided to go relax to some cabins since yesterday and I am so jealous of them; my parents won't even let me go to the houses of friends that live to far on my own. I hope they have fun.

On the other hand, my girl-friends and I decided yesterday to go to the house of one of the girls to watch some movies, but we ended playing heads-up and gossiping about many things. Also, we went for some ice-cream and oh lord, did we get the sugar rush. My friend Sofia and I were laughing at the most stupid things. I started to laugh at the clock because it looked like a person as you can see on the image on the left. We had a lot of fun with all the stupid things we did...specially me. However, by 9 o'clock we all became all depressed because there was no sugar left on our systems. I was all sleepy hugging a water pitcher, another friend was making holes on a food box, and the other ones where "watching" a movie. But really, we were all sleepy. It was so worth it really.

I got home and was like, "oh, let me write on my blog" but I put on my pajamas and fell asleep on my parent's bed till 12 o'clock when they arrived home. My father was like... "WTF are you doing here?" but I just got up, went to my bed, and had the best sleep in weeks.

I really hope that I can have this much fun all days this week, or at least most of the days. Also, one guy friend didn't go to the cabins with the other guys because he had a lot of homework, so I hope we can take him out at least once this week.

And that's all for now

Lots of love

Violin and yelling

Oh my god, today my violin teacher told my that she will teach me how to play Korobushka! It is an awesome song and it is really really hard, or at least for my level. Anyhow, my "spring break" is coming, so i will make sure to practice at least one hour a day so I'll be able to play the song on the next recital from the school I study in. And, I am going to learn the easy part, but still it is hard, but I am so happy that she actually believes in me and that I'll be able to play it. Slowly but steady.

In other news, the people in my house love to shout!!! What's the problem with them!? Really I think I'm becoming even more sensible with them constantly shouting. I really, really hate shouts and angry people, but everyone in my house shouts: my mom, my dad, my sister, my father, and now me! I don't like to scream, it kills me on the inside because my family says I'm becoming more and more like my sister (a lost cause, moody all the time, jealous, etc,) and that makes me even angrier and makes me shout even more. And I know that screaming supposedly helps to calm yourself at times, but I am the only one that is punished if i yell. Even if I raise the voice a little bit, or if I say a small curse word, everyone is like "Omg! what is your problem? don't become like your sister!" and that makes me angry/sad and I just can't anymore.  

Really, I'm writing this with a knot in my throat. I want to cry and yell all the time, I hate it that they scream at each other all the time. Especially my brother and my sister. And my sister is so annoying! you ask her something and she won't answer, and if she answers she yells the answer, and then starts stupid fights all the time, right now she is yelling at my brother for a stupid thing. She thinks she owns the place. And actually she buys me things, and helps me with things, but I don't like her yelling at our parents or my brother. I want to yell to her to get out of the house if she continues to be like that, but obviously I can't. 

Guys really, right now I wan't to cry. And not only now, but all the f*cking time. Even when I'm in school, if I'm not laughing or talking with my friends I feel really tired and fell asleep, or just space out and cry on the inside. I am tired of getting home and everyone constantly yelling. Specially to me even though I didn't do anything. Like, "Omg, your brother is so stupid!" and things like that. I hate it!! I hate it! I hate it! And the worst part is that I used to put on my headphones with music really loud to avoid listening to the shouting, but my hearing started to fail, so I stopped doing it.

Anyhow, my vacations are coming and I really hope I can get out of my house as much as I can. And if not, just play my music alone without anyone bordering me. Because also, my sister hates it when I play the piano or the violin. Daniel (my brother) is more cool about it, but my sister...Ugh! 

Sorry I wrote so much, but i really had to let it all out.

Lots of love (thanks for reading)

Sleep

Lately I’ve been sleeping way too much. I don’t know why but as soon as I get home I just fell asleep for at least 3 hours, plus the time I sleep every night (6-7 hours). I get to class and I am sleepy and kind of moody. I feel bad for my parents and my friends because I like being optimistic and cheerful all the time. Actually, last week a friend of mine told me I was on fire, and another one told me that I wasn’t cool anymore, and I feel so bad about this. I don’t want my friends to think about me as a moody ogre.

Anyhow, my mother says that it must be stress because last week I had my final exam of business and of German, plus I am the president of an event that was held on my high school last week, so I had to make sure everything was perfect. Still, it is a little bit weird because last week I didn’t feel so tired and moody, actually I was really happy that everything was coming to an end.

I just know, that I want this to end…I was such a happy vivid person with a lot of energy…perhaps my body is now recognizing that high school is about to end and that many things won’t be the same. I wish every moment could stay with me forever. Every moment with my friends, my family, my peers, my teachers, etc.

However, I wish you all guys a very happy start of the week, and a cheerful life. Remember to eat healthy and laugh at yourself from time to time. Also, try not to stress.

Lots of love

About Me

Hey there everybody! So, maybe I should tell you a few things you might need to know about me so you can picture me better. First of all, I am the smallest kid of four. I have two big brothers and one sister, and although they can drive me crazy…I do love them. Also, I am in my senior year about to graduate (nervous!).

Another very important thing is that I loooooove music, it is like my passion, it is all I want to do all day and all my life. I play the piano (6 years) and the violin (1 year and a half) although I don’t play so great. I’m going to study and engineering in digital music production (or something like that) here in Mexico and then hopefully I want to go to OIART in Canada! My dream is to go to work in Cirque Du Solei or in the Tomorrowland in Belgium. I surely do hope my dream comes true.

What else, what else? I am very random and…well, I am sure you will get to know me little by little so don’t worry so much.

Lots of love

Just Beginning

I have just begun with this blogspot thingy so go easy on me please. This is my very first entry so I just want to explain that perhaps I won't post everyday and some days I might post more than one time. Sincerely I am not sure what this blog is going to be about, I guess it will be a kind of journal/express myself blog.

This last couple of weeks I've been feeling awful and I've been trying to start to write again, so I hope that by writing here I can be able to feel better and improve my writing skills.

I dunno what else to say, but I will be posting shortly more about me. I hope you all find my blog interesting and continue to follow me. Also I leave you here a picture of me with my violin.

Lots of love
Sophie
