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

Remembering HS

Eeek Next  year it will be my 10th hs reunion.  Time flew by a little quickly well some of the years.  Though it has been almost 10 years I am blessed to still pull of pretending to be 18 hahaha.  Today was the 1st day of fall cleaning for many its spring cleaning for me my cleaning time is during the fall.  Anyways while I was cleaning I found my hs prom cd where it had some of the song that were played at prom and were popular during that time (in reality not only were songs were popular during that time but it was mostly what the girls organizing prom liked....I highly doubt my class liked A Teens... it was either hip hop or rock)
HS for me was good I was bullied and I was an odd ball but I was not alone I had my odd ball friends ho I had fun with.

So basically this sums up hs for me

  • Clubs and student government
  • Backstreet Boys
  • Library (was the hang out place ^_^ even became friends with the librarian)
  • Lord Of the Rings
  • Cheerleader (only for my jr year)
  • being geeky all the time
  • being a writer for Dispatch Magazine (junior and senior year)
  • Retreats
  • listening to rock music
  • working to go to Loyola Marymount University
  • finally learning about myself
HS to I guess aside from a bit of bullying it was good I managed to be involved in many things that I ended it up loving to do.  I went to n all girl school which to many girls it something that they don't want  but to me i actually chose to go to one. 

hahaha my biggest obsession in hs was Lord of the Rings wow did I love the story and still do i still think its one of the best stories that was made into film.






Because I was a cheerleader (over it after i tried it) this was also one of my favorite movies but in comparison to LOTR it was nowhere close


My fandom for Backstreet Boys followed me from junior high into hs but did not survive to college haha


So yep that was hs

so this song was popular during those years In da Club by 50 cent
