Immigrant Protests

Hello there again,

Immigration is such a hot issue right now. There have been protests in the street. And tommorow people will protest and not show up to work tommorow as well as not spend any money.

First of all, I agree with people protesting in the street. It is their right. But I disagree how some of them protest. For those Mexican immigrants that want to be treated equally as American citizens, I disagree with them protesting only in Spanish with just the Mexican flag. For them to get their point across more effectively, I think they should protest in Spanish AND English with the Mexican AND American flag. Or just in English with the American flag. Shoot, when I went to Spain, people gave me dirty looks when I spoke English. While I was in Spain and trying to get residency papers, I would have been laughed at if I made demands in English.

People that want to immigrate here should convince the govt that they want to be a part of the United States. Protesting in Spanish with the Mexican flag sets them apart. That's why they are protesting in the first place: they are set apart as illegals that can't be assimilated into American society. Protesting in English and holding the American flag will send a message that they want to be a part of the United States and are willing to make the efforts to do so.

I also disagree with the protests tommorow. Illegal immigrants walking out of their jobs may hurt the economy for a day. But it will hurt them more. Seriously, they may walk out of their jobs for a day, but they're gonna have to come back the next day to earn a living. The only way this would really scar our ecomony is for they to go back to their countries. And that is not going to happen. People will always immigrate here.

Anyways, that's my two cents.

 

No more cake decorating........ for now.

Hello there my lovelies,

Well, today was supposed to be my last cake decorating class. I even frosted my cake and baked another one. But I ended up ditching the class. I guess I just didn't feel like working hard for another 2 hours only to have to come home and clean the utensils. Besides, I really don't have anyone to bake for. I tried sharing my last cake with my coworkers but they complained that the frosting was too sweet.

So I am just gonna put this hobby on hold for a while. It's kinda funny because I spent a lot of money on the supplies. But the good news is that the supplies will last for years. Not only is cake decorating time consuming, but I also need time to practice and I don't have a lot of free time for that. The weather outside is beautiful and I would rather spend my extra time enjoying the weather and relaxing instead of stressing out over frosting.

Plus, I ate my own cakes. They were so good !! And my thighs got a little bigger. I think that I should use that time instead to exercise. Besides, I am paying the monthly fee at the gym. I think I should use it more.

Bellydance is my first love. Plus I was starting to volunteer and that was and still is important to me. I wanna focus on that too.

I guess cakes will just have to wait.

Hello there my lovelies,

I gotta say that I absolutely love the sunny weather. It's wonderful to see the sun out with no big, grey clouds looming over.

I have written entries before about the guy that I have been seeing. For the sake of this journal I'll just call him Chad. We aren't seeing each other anymore.

He is going through a rough time and needs to take care of his issues so I let him go so to speak. I was tired of calling him and getting his voicemail. I was tired of him not returning my calls, so I finally confronted him and told him how I felt and told him he should have his space. In a nutshell he also agreed and we ended this on the phone.

I really did like the guy and I still do. Though my friends tell me they think he's really married and he's hiding something from me, I know he's not married. And if he's hiding something, it's really no longer my concern anymore.

I miss him, but I am happy with the way things turned out. He told me that he wanted to get through his shit first and then come back to me. He said a lot of nice things about me and told me that he thinks I am special and that he wants a chance with me after he takes care of what he needs to do.

Do I really believe that he's hiding anything ? No. Do I believe that he's gonna come back to see me ? I really can't say. It would be so naive of me to fully believe it. I would still like to see him, but I am not waiting by the phone.

I am not out there looking for another guy. I am trying to get my life together. I am going through a lot of changes right now and need to focus on myself. I am overwhelmed as it is. I didn't even have time for a guy when I was dating him.

On the other hand I am not just gonna sit there and wait for him to come back. I remember how awful I felt when I called his cell over and over and only got his voicemail.

Anyways, I'm sure I'll find out sooner or later.

 

My Nice Weekend.

Hello there my lovelies,

Wow, I haven't updated in a while. I have had a lot going on. I am exhausted to say the least. I feel like I am always doing something. I can't wait for next weekend.

Over the weekend I got a visit from one of my J-land friends. All the way from New York. It was overwhelming to meet him in person because I have never really met anyone from the internet before but the weekend was very nice.

For starters I rented one of our luxury cars, the Infinity G35. Fuck Mercedes. Although I do like the brand, they are overrated and everyone has one. The infinity has more power and it is a smooth ride. I was in love.

Anyways, I took him to the Winchester Mystery House and we took lotsa pictures. I love that house. It's still pretty original which I like. I don't like seeing remodeled houses or replicas. And the Winchester House is original. It was interesting to see how Sarah Winchester lived. She was a nutcase, but I still liked her. In fact, I felt like I understood her. But then again, I am an oddball.

The next day we had a huge breakfast and then we drove to Monterey. I let him have fun with the car while I fell into a deep sleep. We walked around some shops and I got an aqua massage. Then we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I haven't been there in over 10 years. I brought my digital camera and took lots and lots of pictures. And I got some good ones.

Today was his last day here and I had to work. But after work we had dinner in downtown San Jose. I wanted him to experience Downtown San Jose before he went back to NYC.

We had a lot of fun and I was glad he came out. I have been very sad lately so this visit was welcome.

Anyways, I have to finish frosting my cake for our decorating class tommorow.

Nite Nite.

 

 

 

Hello there my lovelies,

I went to the salon today and got my hair cut and my eyebrows waxed. I gotta say that I look good ;)

On another note, my aunt Flo is in town. And man has it been nasty. I have been taking extra doses of asprin. I have also indulged in lotsa chocolates. A couple of days ago I went home after work and had a nice glass of Baileys before I went to bed. It helped with the pain. But it making me feel lightheaded and happy was the best part.

This has been an interesting week for me to say the least. I won't get into it now. I'm off to bed. Ciao.
