Hello Everyone!
How you all been?:) Hope you've had a great and beautiful week:)! It's almost Thanksgiving! and then Friday is Black Friday:) I don't know if i'll be able to go shopping that late at night in midnight, usually that's the time when i'm still sleeping. I still don't get why they call it Black Friday, they should call it instead "Shopping Friday" because that is the day when everybody gets up late at night and shopps like crazy! Shop Til You Drop!:) I am Thankful for everything in my life; my family, friends, aunts, cousins, grandparents. I'm ThANKFUL for having a family that loves me and cares for me and supports me in every step of the way, i don't know what i would do without them:)! I'm thankful for having a home to live and food to eat everyday considering that there are many people in this world who don't have a home or food to eat especially. I am so THANKFUL for being alive and in great health. Thanksgiving is not just about eating turkey and having a great time, but also its a time for giving to others less fortunate, to give thanks for everything positive that has happened to you.
So I give Thanks for:
LIFE

Hello Everyone!
Love watching "American Dreams" it is a television series that started in 2002 and got cancelled in 2005 for i don't know what reason. I still don't like it that they had to cancel such great t.v. series. I looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove everything about this series:)!
"Set to the soundtrack of the '60s, a Philadelphia family moves toward the cultural upheaval in the years ahead. The Pryors' teen daughter Meg tries to shed her "good girl" image by hanging with her worldly friend Roxanne and pursuing a dream of being an "American Bandstand" dancer. Meg's emerging personality, and the changes her mother's going through, don't sit well with Meg's father

I still don't like it that they had to cancel such great t.v. series. I looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove everything about this series:)!
"Set to the soundtrack of the '60s, a Philadelphia family moves toward the cultural upheaval in the years ahead. The Pryors' teen daughter Meg tries to shed her "good girl" image by hanging with her worldly friend Roxanne and pursuing a dream of being an "American Bandstand" dancer. Meg's emerging personality, and the changes her mother's going through, don't sit well with Meg's father
From the thrill of dancing to the new Ronettes song to the life-changing assassination of a beloved President, American Dreams follows one family's journey through the joys and pains of America in the '60s and early '70s. At the epicenter of these earth-shattering times is Meg Pryor, a style-conscious 15-year-old whose life revolves around the popular dance show, American Bandstand. While Meg's younger brother and sister are concerned with simple pursuits, her older brother, JJ, is fighting to follow his dreams instead of his father's. And unbeknownst to the kids, their parents are struggling to define their own evolving relationship as partners, parents and people. Meanwhile, the world swirls around them - a vibrant combination of rock and roll, equal rights and soon, war. How will the changing times change this American family?
In this comedy-family-drama about the early 1960's, the Pryor family deals with racism, feminism, adolescence, rock and roll, and general family issues. The daughter, Meg Pryor, dances on the show of the era American Bandstand while learning about love thanks to her less mainstream boyfriend, Luke, and about acceptance with her interracial friendship with her father's employee's son Sam. Patty Pryor, the youngest daughter learns how to grow up in a time of political and social turmoil along with her disabled younger brother Will. The oldest son JJ learns about love with his tumultuous relationship with his wealthy girlfriend Beth. All this time a war rages on in Vietnam and a family struggles to stay together in this controversial era. "
What I love mostly about this show is that it mixes the popular culture of the 60s throught the early 70s with real life family problems throught the Pryor Familie's point of view. Plus the music of the sixties is awesome gives you a full appreciation of how beautiful music was back then just by watching American Bandstand and how history of Rock n' Roll evolved in the early 60s. This show won two Emmy awards.
You can see American dreams seasons 1,2, and 3 online at http://watchseries.eu/serie/american_dreams I am currently watching all of their episdoes because I never wtached this show when it first aired so since i discovered such great t.v. show on youtube while listening to oldies music i decided to give it a try. Now i don't regret finding out about this amazing show.

Hello Everyone!
Today I want to talk about someone special, no it is not a guy but rather someone from my family that died a long time ago when I was still a little girl, i don't remember exactly how old I was but i only know that me and the rest of my family cried when we found out that she had gone forever. I admire my Aunt Carmen second to my mom because she has taught me how to never give up and to achieve my dreams and goals no matter what difficulties life throws at you. I've had to learn the hard way by my Aunt, that education is really important and is something in life that we as humans should do if we want to succeed, survive, or do something in our lives. When I lived in Mexico for a while with my Aunts and Grandparents I went to school over there during first and second grade, it would be difficult for me to turn in my homework everyday and to do it. I know that my Aunt only wanted us to do better so that we can succeed by making us study with her everyday so that way me and my twin sister do not forget what we learn in school. I am grateful for letting my Aunt teach me and my twin sister, Jennifer to read, and write in Spanish because of that now i completely have an advantage at a getting a job quicker because nowadays every company hires someone faster whose bilingual than someone who only knows one language especially if you're working at a restaurant or a clothes store, or hotel and other places where people from other countries come to visit it's always a great idea to learn three or four languages or at least two. My Aunt was mostly considered like my second teacher:) But eventhough she was strict at times she was also a really supportive and understanding person, someone who had care and compassion for others and for her own family. What I never knew about my Aunt Carmen is that my mom once told when we were looking at the old pictures of my family, I found a picture of this boy from Africa that she used to sponsor, my mom told me that she used to do a lot of charity work and that she would donate money to the boy every month. When my mom told me that i was amazed at how much my Aunt really cared and wanted to make a difference in the world. Another thing that I did not know about my Aunt was that she was studying to become a teacher, I was all I never knew my own aunt wanted to be a teacher!:) and to think that my own mother wants me to be a teacher too. Another thing that my own adventorous aunt did was travel alot to different countries, she would go a lot to Spain because that was her favorite place to visit all of the time and I remember my mom told me that she herself wanted to take me and my twin sister one day also, saying that she really wanted us to go visit Spain because it's such a beautiful country. My Aunt also knew a lot of successful and important people during her travels she also met a guy in Spain whom she madly fell in love with and he also fell in love with her also so they decided to get married a few years later after they had dated for a while. What's sad is that my parents never really wanted to tell me clearly of what my aunt died of, the only answer they would give me all the time was that she had died of stomach cancer, but then a few years later i told my mom to tell me the truth and she told me that she had died of one of the worst diseases anyone can get, AIDS, i was horrified at what my mom told me and what's more worse is that she died while being pregnant also. I was so sad when my mom told me finnally the reason of why she had died, she gave her life to be with her husband in heaven and although it hurt me to realize that i was never going to see her again I knew I had to move on and just have those old memories of the past in my mind. Sometimes I regret not seeing her during her last few years that she had left of the disease that was eating her away. She will always be in my heart and memory forever. The most valuable thing she has thought me was to have compassion for other and to reach out to others when they need it the most, to have respect for others, and to only surround myself with positive people, just as she did i am also doing it. I just hope that one day I can be like her also.

Hello Everyone!,
It's me once again with another week full of school homework, classes, notes, reading, and a busy week ahead, no doubt about that! But today I want to write about one of my most favorite topics and that is writing about my favorite book:) Each week I will post a blog entry in my website about any favorite book that I have read in the past or that I am currently reading right now. And so will start off this week by writing about a novel that by far has started to become one of my top favorites this Summer, it's called "Forbidden Sea" by Sheila A. Neilson. The first time i got the book I didn't even bother reading it because I thought, "okay is this book gonna be great yes or no." So i didn't even bother to read it for about a month or a few weeks i'm not sure because I don't remember, but oh well. Finnally after much thinking as to wether i was going to ignore reading the novel , i gave in and filled with couriosity i started reading it and as i continued reading the novel I soon realized that the story was deeply emotional tale that was full of heartache and redemption. "The Forbidden Sea" tells the fictional story of fourteen year old Adrianne Keynmman and her younger sister Cecily as one stormy night a mermaid comes to take Adrianne's sister, Cecily down into the depths of the deep blue sea, Adrianne knows she must fight with every ounce of her strength to protect her younger sister from the mermaid's clutches. But on land Adrianne faces other problems such as trying to find a way to support her mother, sister, and aunt after a tragic accident stole her father's life. Now life takes a strange and frightening turn as Adrianne's dreams are filled with the mermaid's singing.
Adrianne soon realizes that it is not Cecily the mermaid wants but her, Adrianne wonders how she can protect her family from their supersticious island community as the mermaid attemps to lure her into the sea, night and day.
A girl born on land must choose between the promise of an underwater paradise and the loyalty of those she loves.
I personally love reading this novel because I can deeply relate to Adrianne, she is like every teenage girl, full of hopes, dreams, desires, and holds a secret love feeling for Denn Young who have both been friends ever since they were both children. Sheila did an awesome job linking real life with fantasy. I can also guarantee that you will cry in while reading this novel because there are some chapters in the book where Adrianne is faced with hatred among her neighborhood when everyone finds out that she and her sister went to the Lord Graham's Royal Wedding and went to see a fortune teller, that is where the fortune teller tells Adrianne of the curse put on her the legendary Mermaid of Windwaithe. It was bad because at that point everyone heard the fortune tellers scream when she found out of the dark mark that was put on Adrianne by the Windwaithe Mermaid, so nobody wanted to associate with her and her family because everyone on Windwaithe island thought she was doing some evil thing associated with the devil. Another really sad part of the story that really made me cry because of the deep conncetion I felt for her, was when her aunt Minnah sent her to the city to get more yarn and so then Denn goes to her house and suggests that he go to buy the yarn himself because he was headed that way also, but Adrianne wanted to go so they both agree to go together. When they both arrive at the city to buy the yarn Denn tells Adrianne that he will buy the yarn himself and that she should stay to rest and eat the food that her mom gave her for the trip. So Adrianne obeys Denn's suggestion. While she stays waiting for Denn to come back with the yarn she sees Cora Lynn Dunst, (the most preetiest girl in Windwaithe Island and whom Denn has a crush on) with a loaf of bread in her hands. But while Cora passes by she also notices some sea drifters coming to Cora Lynn, Sea Drifters in the story are people who are really poor and don't have a place to live, so they drift from place to to place trying to find someone who can help them and they're family. The mother and her two starving daughters came close to Cora Lynn because they knew that she was rich and beautiful and because they saw the loaf of bread in her hand they came closer to her begging her to give them some her bread because they were starving. I was so disgusted by Cora Lynn because how could someone so beautiful full of things anyone can wish for be so selfish. She would not give some of her bread to the poor sea drifters who were starving to death. Adrianne was soo full of hatred for her because she could not understand why Denn could hold such loving and affections for someone that is soo beautiful on the outside yet on the inside they are not.
There are some points in the story where Denn does not truly see how beautiful Adrianne really is, making her think that a men so handsome such as Denn will never get to see her as a beautiful lady such as Cora Lynn. Adrianne would also hide her true feelings for Denn Young, making it more confusing for him to truly know why there were times when Adrianne felt uncomfortable whenever she saw him with Cora Lynn.
Anybody who loves a story full of fantasy, love, and real life should read this novel, seriously once you begin reading it you will not want to put the book down!:D Sometimes I wonder if they'll ever do a movie based on the novel, i hope they do because who wouldn't want to do a movie about mermaids, love, hatred, heartaches, family problems, and fantasy?
Here is the book's cover art, wich i found really beautiful it shows the picture of the Windwaithe Mermaid.
Here is a picture of the author Sheila A. Nielson, writer of "The Forbidden Sea."
Here are some drawings by the author of the main characters of her novel "The Forbidden Sea." I personally love her drawings they're really awesome and creative:)
