Proud to be Mexican

Today, August 23, 2010, the Mexican Jimena Navarrete won Miss Universe. Navarrete, from Jalisco, is the second Mexican woman to win this contest, and makes my country proud of its beauty! Despite the fact that Miss Universe is quite a questionable contest, I am happy that Mexico can show its beauty to the world!!! Congrats Jimenita!

It has come to my attention that the absolute --platonic-- love of my life recently got married. Technically speaking Mr Law is not yet married to Sienna, nevertheless, due to an asian ceremony, they are now man and wife. I must say this is depressing. Somewhere in the back of mind, there used to be a miniscule piece of hope that in the future I would become Mrs. Jude Law. ;)
Although considering the possibilities of me meeting --and marrying-- Jude, I guess an asian marriage to Sienna Miller won't set me back that much more.
The on and off love birds tied the knot through the Baci ceremony in Southeast Asia. In this ceremony, done to celebrate many happenings, one of them marriage, the couple are are brought together by a piece of sting attached to their wrists. The piece of string is also connected to several offerings, each representing a quality of marriage. Coconut for purification, bananas for fertility, an egg to call spirits, and sticky rice for solidarity.
In this particular case, the Baci was performed at the Royal Court, where on August 21, Jude and Sienna became husband and wife.
As for the future, the couple is planning a more conventional -- though probably still unique-- wedding in France.

Let the truth come out...

Haven't blogged in a while. Sorry for that. You know when you have absolutely nothing to do, but you feel like doing absolutely nothing? That has been me for the past 3 weeks --at the very least. Nevertheless, I have to voice something: my change of self.
Sophomore year will mean a new me. There are many qualities of mine that I love, but then there are those which I hate.
I certainly don't like the fact that I easily choke when talking to somebody. I become a very boring person for the sole fear of what people are going to think of me. I am sick of that. Let people think whatever they want about me, and if they don't like it, they can go talk to somebody else and ignore me! Still, all this I am writing is easier said than done, but I promise to try as hard as I can to change this part of my personality.
Another thing I wish to change, is my constant search for love. Everything comes at its own time, and so will love. I need to stop looking frantically for somebody; stop thinking that every guy I meet must automatically become a prospective boyfriend. As I have often been told, when you least expect it, thats when it happens. So I guess in a complicated way, by letting go of the need to find somebody, I am probably making it easier to eventually find somebody (read it twice and then you'll understand).
On top of those changes, I plan on trying to get my life in order. I feel like I am straying from my goals and morals. For this reason I must focus on what I want and plan to live in a way that won't harm my future.
I know this is sounding very philosophical and what not, but this vent is much needed. I need somebody to talk to, and due to the absence of one of the most important people in my life, Amanda, I must vent through my blog (and possibly receive suggestions or solutions for my issues).
On the brighter side, I will soon be living on my own --with Amanda as my apt. mate--, and studying my ass off in order to complete the two majors I am routing for: journalism and business. I will apply for another job, even if it means I will have less free time on my hands, because I have proved that me and leisure are not always very good friends.
I guess thats it for now, and I will soon blog a less intense post.

Indecisiveness

Last Friday I can across one of my worst (and sometime best) traits: indecisiveness. I wasn't sure if I wanted to go out and party or stay in watching Gilmore Girls (as has been my routine for the past few weeks). I went over to my cousins' house to try and decide, but that wasn't much help at all. Finally I decided that I was going to have dinner and stay in with a pot of tea next to me and GG playing in the TV; however, once I finished having dinner I started feeling very lonely (my family was not home) and had second thoughts. This led me to impulsively get ready and go out. I am glad I decided to go out! The club was crammed, and I enjoyed myself quite a lot.
Thats that, but now my issue is a different one. I currently have blogspot and tumblr, and I am not sure which one I shoudl keep. Or should I continue updating both? Its hard to split my blogging between both, but then again for some reason I'm not yet sure if I want to get rid of either of them.
I guess for now I shall keep both, and try to make them interesting in their own way.
