Not much just Piedras

This is my cousin Andrea. Her and I had been apart for some time but we definitely made up for some of that time away this weekend. We spent some time with family but also spent time with eachother, cousins, and a few friends. I also got to meet some new people so that was great. :-)

Needless to say I am kinda tired but really happy so spend some time with my family especially the ones I hadn't seen in years, literally. I am still not sure if I will see them for New Year's but I am hoping that I do. More on everything else later. ...enjoy the pics.









We are all cousins! From Left to Right:
Me, Gerardo, Sareh, Andrea, and Diana.






Her and Daniel just got back from Canada which they will go back to on the 6th of January. They've been studying up there and from what I've heard it was a blast.

Of course it didn't stop us from having a blast at this club at Piedras Negras, Coah. Mexico

Here is Andrea with one of her best friends, Nalle. They look so cute! :-)

Dary, Andrea, and Sareh.

A While....


Yes, it has been a while. What can I say, I had to deal with a bunch of stuff. I had been ill for a while and that was not fun at all. I ended up having to miss work and school and I won't know what the doctor will do to me in January. She wanted to see me then, to see if I have to have surgery or something.
Basically playing catchup and everything. I have a final at 5pm today too so I've been studying through out the day. It's weird, everytime I see my own handwriting from even a month ago it seems foreign to me.
I had not posted anything in a while because I found no time to do it. Right now I am only taking a break from staring at my notes and then I'll hit the books again.

Did anyone see Big in O5' ? I did. I guess it was ok, I have a few comments on that but might post them later. I have also seen at least to movies since the last time I have written anything so I have something to say about that too.
I've seen the new Harry Potter movie, The Chronicles of Narnia, and Aeonflux. I really liked Aeonflux. I really didn't think I would like it as much as I did. The Chronicles could have been better. They skipped a lot of scenes that could have been enjoyable and justified because of the story line. Kids liked it, I could have sat there for another 45mins. watching relevant fight scenes and training exercises for the children. So that is that.

On Christmas: Still don't know if I am going to end up going to El Paso, TX or I will go to Eagle Pass to see my parents. I am not sure how New Year's looks like as of right now.Time will tell.

I hope I get to post something else before the year is over at least. Oh, and translate some pages.
