2012 Part 2 Traditions

Every end of the year before the ball drops for the new year there are silly superstitious traditions that many do every year and I am no exception to that.  In my family we don't take these traditions lightly.  I would say I am not a believer in these superstitions and I do em for fun but it seems since we have been doing them for so long that I somehow to an extent I believe em a bit.  There are so many superstitions that if  you do all of even you end up looking a bit ridiculous and seem you have lost your mind hahaha.  I got to say being Hispanic on New Year's is a lot of fun.
What are the things that we do in my family every New Year's here is a list :p

1.  Wear red underwear....well me ( red underwear for love and yellow for money)
2.  Wear red and gold clothing for health and prosperity
3.  throw water out of the window ( I don't remember for what)
4.  Pack a suitcase and walk around the house carrying it ( technically it has to be around the block I believe so you may travel during the year)
5.  Fill the fruit basket with different types of fruit (this is so you always have an abundance of food)
6.  Eat 12 grapes 1 for each stroke at midnight and ask for a wish for each grape (apparently in some traditions its within the 1st 12 minutes of the new year)
7.  Write resolutions on a pink sheet of paper ( this is so you get to accomplish all your resolutions)

New Year's is not the same without doing these things it actually feels wrong not to do them.  Hehehe it doesn't hurt to try these things out you never know it might work.
I should have looked up more new year's traditions online before midnight last night but it didn't cross my mind but I have it booked marked for next year.  If anyone is willing to try any of of these traditions out you can look em up online.  New Year's traditions in this link you can find more of the rituals that are done to have a good year ahead from love to money.

One last thing you always check your horoscope for the upcoming year :D  
love horoscope
2013 horoscope
A bunch of other types of horoscopes

Whether you believe these things or not basically the bottom line is being positive and working on achieving what you want is the key to getting it.

Wow my style of writing has changed throughout the years hahaha just a random note.

I have listened to P!nk on and off but I got  to say I think she is a strong woman who stands up for what she believes so this is a song by P!nk I believe this is her latest song Try

2012 Part 1 Being Grateful

2012 finally ending and so many things have happened this year.  For me this year has been more balanced with both good and bad unlike last year.

First, I must say I am grateful for all the good and the bad things that have happened this year.  The bad has taught new lessons and shown me how strong I can be.  These bitter events have made me mature more and taught me to make better decisions.
Second, I am grateful for the people have continued to stay in my life.  I say thank you to my friends and family who have continued to stay with me through the good and the bad.  They have given me great memories this year that helped me bare with the bad ones.  Memories that have helped me to keep me sane.  I have greatly enjoyed the time I have spent with all.
Third, I am grateful for the people that I have met this year whether it was a brief meeting or see them on a regular basis.  You have made an impact in my life in some way.   Many of these meetings even if they were brief have given me a moment to smile and something to think about.  I say thank you.
Fourth, I am grateful for all the fun things I got to do this year some of of these things have been probably a thing of once in a lifetime.  I am grateful for being able to share some of these events well majority of these events with people I care about greatly.  This year I got to see the space shuttle Endeavor passing by in the streets, had lunch at the exclusive restaurant 33 in Disneyland, seen so many of the artist that I like, got to see the Midnight showing of Batman The Dark Knight Rises, going on a mini hike to Malibu Creek, attending Evander Holyfield's birthday party and many other things.  I have great memories of these events which bring a smile to my face every time I think about them.

 Fifth,  my health.  What can I really say I am glad that even despite I gotten sick a couple of times and this bothersome acid reflux that bothers me a bit often, I have had good health.   I am grateful to have my health.
Sixth and last but most important, my family.  I am grateful we are still together that despite my mom's chronic illnesses that make her have to be in the hospital often I am glad she still continues fighting.  I hope we continue to stay together united even if we take different paths that we keep in touch always.

I like this song makes you want to party and popular this year it's Usher the song is Scream

Almost 2013 but not quite

2012 will soon be gone forever but not quite yet.  There are still 2 days and about 2 hours left. A lot of things have happened this year it has a been an eventful year for me.  It is not time yet for me to bid my farewells to the year nor say what I am grateful for i will leave that to another post :)
I had said that I was going to post more often but things got in the way in these past few weeks that prevented me from being able to clearly think of what to post.  My mom had to be taken to the hospital and had back surgery which had the whole family quite worried.  She is recovering right now and has to be away from home for a couple of weeks.  This was the 1st Christmas that she spent away from home and this will be the 1st New Year she will not be home either.  It will be okay as long as she recovers. 
Things keep getting delayed but as long as I keep at it they will be done sooner or later.
2 days left for the year to end I have to get my resolutions in order and get ready for the New Year.  I say that 2013 will be a better year than 2012 :)
Terrible tragedies have happened this year the theater massacre and the shooting of all those innocent children in the elementary.  My prayers go to the families it is not fair that innocent people have to die when they have done nothing wrong.
Changing the subject on a lighter note  I can say I am grateful to this year 2012 has been eventful.

I think this is a good song LeAnn Rimes the song is Life Goes On
