BEWARE Of The Caffeine Dude!!!

WANTED:

Tall, Bearded, mid-40's, hyper-active man who attempts to disturb the peace of people on the City Transit.

This dude drinks too much caffeine. This means coffee.

He is more likely to beat up the bus driver.

He is more likely to get close to me...and I am scared.

All I say is that if you see this dude, STAY AWAY. let the authorities take care of that for you. :P

Note: This is not a real warning, this is a warning created by Ana (Anistorm/IheartStephanieAbrams). No coffee was drunk during the making of this blog.


The Reason Why Pluto Is Not A Planet Anymore

Have you ever wondered why Pluto is not a planet anymore? After years of astronomers and scientists discovering something about Pluto, they decided to kick it off the solar system. My Astronomy professor has one of the reasons why...meaning the one I am writing is the main reason.

In the words of Dr. Russel J. Lavery, IVC Astronomer.

Pluto is not a Planet anymore because scientists and astronomers 15 years ago have discovered Ice Pellets that look similar to Pluto. Those ice pellets do orbit with Pluto, but if those pellets join Pluto, then we won't tell if the planet is orbiting or not. It does seem that they are orbiting Neptune. Some Pellets are the size of Pluto, however, it is not considered a planet at all.


Why I Despise Riding The Bus

As you may all have know, I take the City Transit (aka the bus) to go to school. And everyday stupid stuff happens. That’s why I never have a “nice ride”. Here are ten reasons why I hate riding the bus….literally.

1.The bus drivers are so evil, they act like the school bus drivers.

2.Old people have priority (I understand that), but do they have to push me to the back without asking me politely?

3.The phrase “Ladies First” never exists.

4.99.99% of the bus riders do not use the pull-down cord to request to stop at a certain bus stop.

5.The bus is NOT wheelchair accessible. (Maximum limit is 2 wheelchairs, the third one is always left out and has to wait for the next available bus and seating.)

6.Some drivers don’t know when the next bus will come.

7.If you miss the bus, you have to wait approx. an hour and a half for the next one.

8.NEVER sit in the back. It’s not safe, it’s too dangerous, too much grafitti, etc!!!!

9.For people that are coming from Mexicali, the bus is considered a taxi for them, referring back to reason numero 4.

10.Children have also the priority but stay away from the ones that are sick.

New Myspace About Me.

Hey you. You have entered the world of Anistorm. The happiest place on earth...ok maybe at times. What can I say about me? My name is Ana, and I go by two nicknames. My first nickname is “Anistorm”. I got that nickname since Junior year by my friends who described me as a storm angel. Then, for those who know me from TWC Today, I go by “IheartStephanieAbrams”. I chose that name because I am a huge fan of Stephanie Abrams. Here's my main background: I am 18, born in Mexico, raised in Southern California, my hometown is Colton (the city where I lived the longest), and I currently live in El Centro. I have two sisters, Adriana and Angelica. My birthday is November 19. I have a cat, Serafina, who is two years old, and a dog, Abby, who is 10 months old. I am a college freshman at Imperial Valley College, and soon I will be transferring to CSU San Bernardino (hopefully). I am one year-one month taken by my future hubby Adam Carrera (aka Vega or Cashen). I LOVE him to death and he's the love of my life. More about me, well, I love talking to people, I am also a heroine to some of my friends. Whenever they need me, I go into Heroine Status (meaning, I am to the rescue! And I will be busy, too) Most of my friends live on the east coast, and yeah they live 20+ miles from my house. I can be a little emo at times (no, not the I-wanna-kill-myself type of emo), and I am very honest when I post things online. I am not a liar and I don't care if you want proof or you want me to prove with a lie detector. I can be a total DORK at times, but hey, that's my mistakes. I love the color green. I love animals. Science is my favorite school subject. I heart the weather, and I'm hoping to turn my interest of the weather into a career. I don't like people labeling as what I am not. If you don't like what I am, then I suggest you LEAVE. Ok, anyways, in other stuff, my friends are awesome. This does include Adam, but not to mention my TWC Today friends. J.T., Autumn, Johnny, Spring Rubber, Evan, Mikey, Martin, Zachy, and so much more. Well, that's my about me, if you want to know more, just send me a comment (don't message me unless I message you), find me on Facebook, or follow me on Twitter! (I'm very addicted to Twitter so you'll see me tweet very often, but one note, I must know you.). Enjoy my page. Now here are your local on the 8's. Hahaha.

My Version Of St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patricks Day!!!!
My favorite color is green, and that’s why, March 17 is the day I can wear any green I want, without my mom being the fashion police saying “Ana, that green shirt is hideous, wear a different shirt!”
Mom, you hate green, don’t you?
And yet she does.
Green has been my favorite color since I was a baby! Yes I fell in love with the color green when I was in diapers. My parents bought me everything pink, but I hated pink so much. I am very obsessed, and some people think I have OCD, which it’s not true at all. I know St. Patricks Day is an Irish holiday, and I know very little of what the holiday meant.
All I know is this: If you don’t wear green, you get pinched. Simple as that. If you wear green, no one will bother you and those that are greeners pinch non-greeners (the ones that do not wear green or don’t care about St. Patricks Day). I think it’s fun!
So the whole “pinching” for me began during the 5th grade when it was the only St. Patricks day that I never wore green. I mean, before the 5th grade I only wore school uniform and no one bothered to pinch me. Now that I don’t wear school uniform anymore (I was attending elementary school in Colton), then some girl pinched me (and she was wearing all green). She asked me “WHERE’S YOUR GREEN?” so impolitely. I was like “Idk, I don’t have anything green.” She then pinched me again. The whole fifth grade classroom turned into a pinchfest for me all because I never wore any green.
The pain followed me to the 6th grade, and now in middle school.
Of course I did learn my lesson and wore a green shirt on St. Patricks Day of 2001. That year I went waaaaay too far when it comes to pinching. I never knew that the school enforced a NO PINCHING policy (meaning if someone sees you pinching, you will get in serious trouble, because supposedly pinching is considered Sexual Harrassment…WTF?), so I was very unaware about the policy and went to pinch a very cute guy that wasn’t wearing any green at all. My 6th grade counselor saw me and took me to the office. I was suspended for the rest of the day and I had a week’s worth of detention. Yes, I am a bad girl.
So I promised myself I wouldn’t go too far in the next couple of St. Patricks Days. 7th, 8th, and then, 9th grade (Freshman year), I went too far again and since Adam (we were best friends back then)didn’t wear green, he became one of my victims. That year I made a record of pinching 17 people. I didn’t even get in trouble! I am willing to go higher but since I was moving a lot, then, I had to wait.
So, now 4 years later and today’s St. Patrick’s Day is going pretty well. My current number is 9, and I don’t think it will go higher. I mean, 20 % of the college is not wearing green, because those people in that percentage either don’t know what’s St. Patrick’s Day, hate green, don’t know WTF today is, who’s Patrick, etcetera. El Centro, it’s all ghetto, I am sorry.
So, I hope you are all enjoying your St. Patrick’s Day. I have an appointment with my archenemy who has a birthday today after math class. Her name is Patsy and she was born today. She is not wearing green today so she is my main target when I see her. *insert evil laugh* I heart St. Patrick’s Day! :D

Giving the Health Fair a SHOT.

Remember the last blog I wrote about that I thought of going to a health fair? And did I mention the word DOCTORPHOBIA? Yes, I finally gave it a shot, but it really was a shot.
So, upon arriving, student nurses were guiding me through the whole registration process. They interviewed me with wellness questions, such as “Do you consider yourself healthy?” or, “Do you have any family history?” and this is ghetto, but they asked me, “Have you ever thought of ending your life?”
I have five stations to go to, and I will go in order. First, I went to check on my weight at the weight station. I was so surprised that I lost 8 pounds since my last check up! (Last check up was before I went to C-Town to go see Adam and travel to Disneyland). I WON’T tell you what my current or previous weight. It’s personal, sorry. :P
Then, I went to the height station. I think I am still five-foot-something. Last check up was five-foot-three. (And yes I am at the same height as Alex Steele). When the nurse measured me, he told me that I went up an inch!!! I’m five-foot-four! (Beat that, Alex, but I still admire you). I’m not short anymore!!! (and yet, I am still short in general :P)
The next station was the vision station. Of course I wear glasses and I did had a check up recently. My vision has improved a little, but I am considering lasik eye surgery.
Then there’s the blood pressure/cholesterol station. I never had a cholesterol check up before so I had to do one in order to draw blood (wait---they’re drawing blood? OMG I am gonna draw blood??? WTF????). I started to shake, feeling anxious. I mean WTF do they want every single IVC student to have their blood drawn? Idk, but I had to face the fear of Doctorphobia.
As they stick the needle in my arm, I felt the blood getting sucked out and I was about to faint. As it was all over, they put the blood inside a safe container and saved in for lab purposes. Idk WTF they’re going to do with mine. I’m perfectly fine.
So I am here, and my arm hurts, badly. :(

Health Fair...and DOCTORPHOBIA

At school, a local hospital has announced that Today and Tomorrow, there will be a Health Fair. I read several posters, and they don’t say what there will be at the health fair. If you don’t know, I got a fear of doctors, called DOCTORPHOBIA. I really do, and if I see a doctor coming up to me, I run. Well, seeing those posters do tell me that I do have to combat DOCTORPHOBIA. I’m not a psycho, just which I have decided to give this health fair a shot (not a needle shot…ahhhhh!!!!). There are five stations and if I complete those five stations, I get a free lunch. I should get an update on my health, most probably they might check on my blood pressure, eyes, cholesterol, my height and weight. Hmmm, yeah, I should give it a chance. :)

The Real Dream & How It Fools Your Mind

Have you ever dreamed of a specific event and thought it was all for real? Have you ever woke up one morning and realized that the specific event you dreamed about happened yesterday and you realize again that it never did? This happens to me so many times and I am tired of being fooled around in the middle of the night when I dream. I either expect this event to occur (if I dreamed happily) or I fear it would happen (if I had a nightmare). But it never did. Recently, my boyfriend Adam dreamed about our parents fighting and fighting, (like the plot of Romeo and Juliet). He did fear that would happen, but it turned out it didn't. Some time ago, I dreamed of visiting Abrams & Bettes at The Weather Channel (See Blog). There me and my friend Autumn met Stephanie Abrams and Mike Bettes. I already know that those dreams are impossible to come true, but when you dream about that it felt so real, even the senses were real. The most weird thing I dreamed about was when I was pregnant. (Don't start the rumors, people). From when I told Adam I am, to when I give birth. It also felt real. I had that feeling when there was something inside of me for weeks. I have to know that if I dream and I felt it was real, then I will wind up sleeping for years.

The 7 Songs I Dedicated To Adam

From February 22, 2008 to February 22, 2009, it was that one year I
lived differently. My life has changed dramatically, and I can’t
imagine my life without the love of my life Adam Carrera. During the
first year I have been dedicating some songs to him. Some of them do
describe the meaning of both of us. I chose 7 of them.


“Paperthin Hymn”---Anberlin


In spite of the song’s debut, in 2006, it debuted on my last week in
Colton High School. When Adam had that horrible seizure on my last day,
that song kept playing on my mind over and over. After the incident I
kept on wondering if he was doing okay. Two years later when we barely
got together in a relationship, the song returned to me once again.


“February Song”---Josh Groban


When Autumn Hartman wrote her story “The Storm” the song not only
described the two main characters “Amber” and “Mike”, but it also
described myself and Adam, and the past memories of our friendship. I
dreamed of this song, slow dancing in the stars.


“Blurry”---Puddle Of Mudd


The announcement of Adam going away to Kentucky (and his possible
moving plans) shocked me with the pain he gave me. Right after he said
he loved me, I guess everything started to go downhill pretty slowly.
Three months of California-Kentucky long distance love is what I had to
endure. My friends even told me that Adam and I were impossible to stay
together.


“Angel”---Natasha Bedingfield


Once this song was heard on the radio, I was pretty hooked and it had
to be dedicated by someone none other than Adam. I am his angel that
will protect him from everything.


“Vulnerable”---Secondhand Serenade


As the very first time I got to see him on webcam and be able to talk
to him on Ventrilo, we were both vulnerable. It made me uncover
everything in my life, as well as I finally realized that he was the
love of my life.


“All Messed Up” ---Breaking Point


It was an August monsoonal day when I wrote the blog “When A Guy Is
Afraid To Lose His Girl". I lost my internet and had to go to an
internet cafe, that's the part when Adam was super worried about me, he
thought that I was ignoring him completely. I told him that everything
is allright, and that I loved him for real.


"Haight Street"---Anberlin


When we both went to Disneyland on Valentines day, this song was like a
song about both of us. The lyrics say "Let's you and me, make a night
of it. Old enough to know but too young to care".

Welcome To "Twitter-ing"

www.twitter.com

So, idk when this site was developed or invented or I guess, built. But it has exploded the internet revolution.

How did I find this so awesome? I got three words for you: Abrams, And, Bettes.

A&B announced Thursday that they are "twittering" from Twitter, so you know me, as an A&B fan, I went online during the commercial break to check it out. It seems that Steph and Mike actually check on their tweet replies, and some of them do get on the air.

To combine the subject to another, I've been telling you that February 20th is the day my life is a Turning Point. Well, guess what, when I thought that Evening Edition coming to an end was my Turning Point, well, I told myself, think again. A&B got my Tweet on the air!!! THAT was the turning point. I guess it was the best Turning Point so far (despite the ones I faced in the past years).

Ok well anyways. My Tweet got on the air, also my good friend from TWC Today, J.T. he got several Tweets on the air. (He must be famous I guess haha).

So the main thing about "Twitter" is that you can follow your friends on what they are doing. It's like you're updating your status every five minutes or so. It's not like Myspace or Facebook. You just update your friends on what you're doing, and they can comment on your status.

I got several friends, on there, including Zach, J.T. and Autumn has planned to fix her account soon, so soon she'll be on. Adam doesn't know yet, and I would LOVE to tell him about this.

So, if you want to know what I'm doing, just look for me on there, just type in "Anistorm" and you found me.

Hasta la Vista :)

Valentines Day @ Disneyland Part 6

At 9:00, the show that illuminates
the skies of Disneyland, Fantasmic! will be on. It was pretty
crowded when we both arrived. There was no where to stand (or sit)
at. After 10 minutes of searching, we found the perfect spot, right
under the night sky. Adam cuddled me during our wait. I must say,
everytime he cuddles me I feel so protected, and I can't stop looking
at his eyes and caressing his face. We're truly in live, and we're
about to see the most magical night of our lives.



The show started when Mickey Mouse
appeared on the scene and water spashed out of the Rivers of America,
with scenes from old Mickey Mouse Cartoons such as Steamboat
Willie
. It was pretty adventerous. At the end, a steamboat
appeared and there were several Disney characters, such as the ones
from Toy Story, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, the Princesses, and so much
more! The fireworks started to blast in the sky and it became very
magical for me and Adam. At that time we realized that our dreams
have come true, when we saw shooting stars from the Princess castle.
We both had a wish...and our wish came true. I guess this Valentines
day really meant something.



As the fireworks came to a close,
Adam and I have little time but not too little to have ful. We
entered the Haunted Mansion and it wasn't that scary at all. Then, we
had one more ride to go into. Adam thought I was a rebel when I
thought about it...it's too cold, we're both shivering...and I was
like “Whatever...I'm going for it!!!” We totally went for Splash
Mountain.


The line for Splash Mountain was
very little and we didn't have to wait at all. I sat behind Adam in
the middle and the ride had so many sudden drops. So many you can't
even expect! At the end, there was this huge drop that got us wet big
time, and got me shivering in the end. It was now 10:00, and I
wondered if my family was looking for us.


The second showing of Fantasmic!
Was going on, and we found my grandma, Adriana, and Alexa,
shivering with cold. We walked with them to Main Street to look for
my parents and Angelica. While we waited, we spotted both Mickey and
Minnie!! So Adam and I went to take a picture with them. Then we went
to the hat shop to buy mouse ears. (Well, I did, Adam only bought a
regular hat :P) And we found my parents and Angelica at the main
entrance. We walked back, hand holding to the parking lot.


I must say it was the most romantic
Valentines Day ever. The best part is that it was in Disneyland and
the best-of-the-best part is that I spent the day at Disneyland with
Adam. Out of the past Valentines day, I wore black and I never cared
about this day. But now I do thanks to Adam. I am not the Anti
Valentine anymore. The good thing is that I am visting him 2morrow.
(February 15- “Pre-Anniversary”). It's gonna be awesome. During
the ride home, Adam and I held on together. (despite the fact my
grandma accidentaly smashed his hand with the car door, and I had to
pull his funny bone to make it better...haha classic). So, at 1:00 AM
my dad dropped Adam home, and took Gummi Bear with him. I kept his
flowers, the souveniers he bought me, and I couldn't wait until
2morrow...to conclude my stay in C-Town...

Valentines Day @ Disneyland Part 5

Returning back to Tomorrowland
again, we went for Space Mountain. The line was 70 minutes! But, Adam
and I didn't bother to go for it. So the line started in the upstairs
part. At first the line didn't seem far and long but as we went
around it became long. Adam and I became cold, as I was being cuddled
by him.


During our 70 minute wait, Adam kept
on looking around and up in the sky. I wondered what was wrong with
him. Then he spotted a star right above us and that's where he told
me that he was having a flashback. When Adam was in middle school, he
got really jealous of his friends because all of his friends had a
girlfriend. And he was the only one that doesn't have one. He started
to cry when he was telling me the story, while he was looking at the
shiny star that was illuminating above us. Then he said, “All my
life I've been looking for a girl ike you. I've tried so hard. I've
been rejected so many times. And now my dreams have come true because
of you. You're the one for me. I love you Ana!!”


I never realized he was actually
crying until I saw tears falling from his eyes (for once I thought
there were his eye drops). I wanted to cry too, but I refused to.


I cuddled him and kissed him so many
times, and I kept on telling him “everything is fine. I am here for
you, Adam. I am your dream come true.” The start never stopped
illuminating until we both entered inside.


We finally entered Space Mountain
and we had to wait another 10 minutes inside. After that we got in
the ride and it started in a sudden rush. I didn't expect Space
Mountain to be so dark (even more darker than Peter Pan's Flight).
Then, during the ride, Adam made crazy sounds like Vega from Street
Fighter as well. What's more embarassing during the ride? On the
on-ride photo, I accidentaly covered my face at the time they placed
the snapshot on us.


And yet...Space Mountain...was the
BEST RIDE EVER!!!!!!!!!!


It was almost time for the fireworks
and Adam and I decided to go for one more ride before that: Buzz
Lightyear's Astro Blasters. We had to go in there to shoot aliens to
become a better space ranger. In the end, I guess Adam became the
best Space Ranger than I did, because he scored more than I did.

Valentines Day @ Disneyland Part 4

After
enjoying our chili dogs and our large drinks, Adam and I took a short
break and headed back to Tomorrowland. We came across a show called
Jedi Training Academy.
It was a show based on the movie
Star Wars
where a trained Jedi master trains people to become a better Jedi.
Adam and I thought it would be fun and stuff but it turned out that
there were little kids involved. All of the sudden Adam had an idea,
and took me back to the souvenier shop where I bought the Aladdin
picture frame. There was a section of the store where you build your
own lightsaber from
Star Wars.
Adam wanted to do one of his own, so I was like, “go for it, dude!”


As we entered, Adam got started in
learning the steps to build a lightsaber. At the first step he got
confused so he asked someone to happily help him. He chose to do a
double lightsaber (like the one Darth Maul has in the movie The
Phantom Menace
) He finally finished, he paid $23 for it and
enjoyed it. He even wanted me to pose for pictures on my camera. So
he did and I took them.



We walked a little more around the
park and returned to ToonTown for ice cream. There we decided to go
on more rides. We have planned to get on the Indiana Jones ride,
which is at Adventureland, but the wait was 70 minutes, and the
Fastpasses were all out...so what did we do? We totally went for it.


The line was pretty fast I should
say. During our wait we cuddled, hugged, and we started to realize
that we saw other couples doing the same thing. (Duh, because it's
Valentines Day.) At that time I didn't want to let go of Adam, one
reason why is that it was getting cold. I never got bored of staying
in line for 70 minutes with him. Actually, out of all of the couples
that were in line for the ride, we were the best ones...practically
show offs, but who gives a FREAK.



We got on the Indiana Jones ride and
it was one bumpy ride!!! Adam's dad, Rene wanted us to get on the
ride and tell him how was it. As we exited the ride we felt like it
was so intense!!!



Night starts to fall but we have so
much time left, after waiting 70 minutes in line, we have one more
thing to do...and we will have time to do it before the fireworks,
SPACE MOUNTAIN!!!!

Valentines Day @ Disneyland Part 3

When
Adam was just two years old, he went on Peter Pan's Flight. The ride
is consisting of the movie Peter Pan, but when he got on, he got
super scared and never wanted to get on that ride again. He said that
he got scared because the inside of the ride was pretty dark. The
standby line is 30 min, and I decided to go for it. Adam didn't want
to, as he held my hand very tight during our wait. It kinda felt
embarassing because my mom, grandma, Adriana, Angelica and Alexa were
waiting in line for the ride as well. Adam did tell the story to
them. I kept on telling him “There is NOTHING to worry about.
You're older now, you should be able to conquer this fear.”

...and
he still gets the chills...not because it was cold outside.

Now it
was time to get on the ride. Adam continued to hold my hand real
tight, as the “boat” rose up in the dark tunnel, Adam squeezed my
hand and grabbed me to kiss me. I wondered that I was something to
cure his fears or idk. The ride was fast and I thought it was
spectacular. Adam had his arms around me, even after we got off. At
the exit, I told him “Stop right there, I'm gonna take a picture of
you, and show it to your parents that you finally got to get on Peter
Pan's Flight.”

Adam
accepted that he did conquered the 16-year-old fear and posed for
the picture.

During
the day it all started to pack, the lines were getting longer, even
for the most popular rides, such as the Indiana Jones, and Space
Mountain. Pirates Of The Carribean, located at the New Orleans
Square, wasn't that bad, and we decided to wait. I gotta say, when I
went to Disneyland in the 5th grade, Pirates Of The
Carribean was one of my favorite rides, and it was pretty cool. Well,
today it was even more cooler. Especially when Adam and I enjoyed the
sudden drops and even got a little wet.

After
riding Pirates Of The Carribean, Adam and I became hungry, and
decided to return to Main Street to get something to eat. The day was
going pretty well, and I couldn't wait to have more fun with the
love of my life.

Returning
to Main Street, we ordered two chili dogs, and two large drinks. We
had our own table just to ourselves. (I was surprised there was no
one from my family came to spy on me...it's just impressing.). It was
a perfect Valentines day date. And all was going pretty smooth...Oh
and guess what, while we were there, we saw Mary Poppins, and
Aladdin!!!

Valentines Day @ Disneyland Part 2

Passing
by Main Street, we got to meet Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland.
Of course, Adam wanted a picture of him so I took a picture of him
and with Mad Hatter, Anyways, when we turned, there was Tomorrowland,
one part of the park about space. The first ride we went on was Star
Tours, an adaptation of the movie Star Wars. It was a pretty jolt
ride...as far as I could remember, haha. So anyways, after that we
did a little shopping and I bought a souvenier. It was a picture
frame with the lyrics to the song “A Whole New World” from the
movie Aladdin. It's Adam's favorite movie. After that we were about
to go to the Finding Nemo's Submarine Voyage, but it was PACKED! So,
instead we would rather wait 20 minutes to ride on the Matterhorn
Bobsled than wait an hour to ride Finding Nemo's Submarine Voyage.


The
Matterhorn Bobsled was the coolest ride ever! (haha just to bring
that up).

Then
we went to It's a Small World. The line was going fast, though, but
it was worth it. Me and Adam cuddled in line looking at the scenery
around the ride. The ride is a small water ride...pretty much
fascinates little kids, at Angelica and Alexa's age I guess. The ride
sings the song “It's a Small World” in so many languages of the
world. At the end...it was pretty boring. :P

ToonTown
was the next stop, it was packed, though. There we got to meet so
many of the disney characters such as Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy
and so many more. In my opinion, all I want to say is SCREW YOU
GOOFY!!! You're mean for not letting me take a picture with me and
you let Adam take a picture with you! I HATE YOU!!! Ok, Anistorm,
shut up. Anyways, We visited Mickey Mouse's house and it didn't look
like a house at all, it was more like a mansion! We did get a picture
with Mickey, both of us together. Then, we decided to take a joy ride
in Goofy's car (not in reality, the car was made of plastic, hahaha).

But
one character we didn't see...where's Donald Duck???


Soon,
exiting ToonTown we entered Fantasyland. That's where the Princess
castle is located. But me and Adam wanted to try out the Mad Tea
Party. It was a short line so we went for it. Adam was thinking that
if we spin the wheel together, we would go so fast. As we both got
on, the ride started with a jolt, and Adam and I spun the wheel as
fast as we could. I was getting a little dizzy but it was all worth
it.


After
being spunned at the tea party, we went around to find the Princess
castle. It was pretty magical I should say. There were so many people
trying to pose for a picture in front of the castle. So if they are
doing it, why should we? So we asked this one dude and he took a
picture of us in front of the castle.

But as
we went across the Princess castle, Adam started to hold my hand very
tight...knowing that his fear of 16 years ago is coming to him...

Valentines Day @ Disneyland Part 1

February
14, 2009: Valentines Day @ Disneyland!

So,
after almost a week of arguing with Mother Nature about the weather
for Valentines Day, Stephanie and Mike said the forecast...is NOT
THAT SHABBY! Sunny all day and clear all night. The huge so-called
MEGASTORM that was heading towards our direction was delayed until
Monday. So I was so relieved, and I don't have to wait until March
anymore.

On
Friday Morning, me and my familia left ghetto El Centro and traveled
2 ½ hours to my uncle's house in Riverside. It was raining,
though, so we all spent the whole day at the mall. Over there I
called Adam, telling him that I was finally here and to remind him
that I will pick him up at 6:30 or 7:00 AM.

So, as
Saturday came and I was supposed to wake up at 5:00. It was 4:00 in
the morning, and I couldn't sleep anymore, because I was so excited!
I was the first to wake up, take a shower, do my hair and all those
other stuff. I was the first to get all done and pretty much I had to
wait for everyone else to get done.

So
finally at 6:30, we arrived at Adam's house and I knocked on the
door. Adam was the one to open the door and he hugged me so tight, I
guess he did miss me so much, and besides it was Valentines day also.
I gave him a Valentine Gram Bear that moves and sings the song
“Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours” by Stevie Wonder. It was
awesome, he even named it “Gummi Bear.”

He
finally got to meet my mom, grandma, and Angelica. He already met my
dad, Adriana and Alexa.

So,
when we finally got in the freeway, me and Adam talked, and we
finally got to hold our hand tight. I missed that. We even played
with Gummi Bear. My dad stopped by at a McDonalds in Ontario to eat
breakfast. Me and Adam chilled, and my little sister Angelica, being
the spy and all, I shoo her off.

One
hour later we were all at Disneyland, at approximately 8:30. Dad
bought the tickets, gave two to me and Adam, and mom lets us go off
on our own. Which is pretty awesome. So me and Adam entered the park
on our own.

First
stop, Tomorrowland..

Inspiration Dies (A Tribute To Kristina Abernathy)


On February 3, 2009, A news article was reporting that The Weather
Channel (TWC), has laid off 4 Veteran Meteorologists.

The
four that were laid off were:

**Rich
Johnson (Appears on EE West Coast with Sharon Resultan weekdays)

**Mark
Mancuso (IDK where he is, I haven't seen him for like ever)

**Kristin
Dodd (Appears on weekends with Adam Berg)

**And
last but not least, the one that stopped the whole world of TWC
FanWorld: Kristina Abernathy.




Today,
inspiration dies.




As I
reacted to this news, I was crying...because it was so unexpecting,
that Kristina Abernathy was laid off...




I was
in the 7th grade...January 14, 2003 was the exact date. I
was just flipping the channels and all of the sudden, the remote
flipped to The Weather Channel. I was about to change the channel
until I saw Kristina coming on. Kristina had a black suit and a
lavender shirt. I stayed on just to see what the weather would be
like tomorrow. I spent my two hours (3:00 to 5:00) just watching her,
and Carl Parker.


At
that night, I remember I had a really great dream. I had a dream that
I was working at TWC, with Kristina. She told me the basics of
becoming a meteorologist. After that day, I finally found my future
dream, and this is where my whole “weather background” began.

So,
everyday right after school, I get home, turn on the TV, and TWC
(soon it became known as PM Edition during my 8th grade
year), and I even do my homework while Kristina gives me the
forecast, and the weekly planner.


So
pretty much PM Edition became my favorite show...until Kristina and
Carl Parker were split up.

I
still kept my head up and found her on weekend mornings working with
Kevin Robinson. I had to fix my viewing schedule...in the morning...

But I
don't know why...even when I added Stephanie Abrams and Mike Bettes
in my favorites, I still haven't forgotten Kristina at all! One thing
I really, really, really like about her is that she is very confident
wearing glasses. I mean, when she started wearing them, I felt
confident wearing my glasses. During Freshman, Sophomore, and half of
Junior year, I wasn't that confident at all. I felt like a geek.
After Junior year I felt very confident.

When I
moved again, I was happy that Kristina was reunited with Carl Parker.
I just think they are the best paring ever. The only difference is
that they are on weekends but I was okay with it. It was like 7th
grade all over again.




Kristina,
I just want to say thank you for inspiring me the weather when I was
just 12 years old. You were my first favorite meteorologist on TWC
(before I got into Stephanie Abrams and Mike Bettes). You will be
missed, and also Kristin Dodd, Rich Johnson, and Mark Mancuso as
well. All were awesome and will be truly missed. Not only by myself,
but some other TWC fans who adored you also. You started my whole
“weather background”, and I will let it continue. I'm taking your
inspiration with me. Like I said, you will sorely be missed. I will
never ever ever ever forget you!!!!!!!

Super Bowl, 2009 So Far, Etcetera Etcetera. (A Random Blog)

Written January 30, 2009

I feel so lonely...this weekend and beyond. I got no one to talk to, no one to hang out with (the Primas are having other stuff planned). It's all BS here.

So, it's SUPER BOWL weekend this weekend, and there are no Steelers fans nor Cardinals fans here in this so-called CHARGERS-town. (Chargers SUCK.) I'll be the one watching the super bowl on my own and I have to watch it. Because I got rivals, and I have someone who will not be able to "see" it.

To someone who won't be able to "see" it, my Gator Bait, Adam. Today was his eye Lasik surgery. And that's one of his resolutions/goals of 2009 and he is finally fulfilling it. I am still unsure because my parents have been talking about visiting C-Town for Valentines Day Weekend, and I am wondering how long will he recover. Back to the Super Bowl subject, we both go for the Steelers, and since I still have my eyes, and his eyes are recovering, I might be able to send him pictures.

As for college, Intersession cancelled on me. Turned out that I didn't have to take those classes at all!! Wow, what a freakin time-waster. So I spend so much time here at home, than wherever. I'm looking forward to Spring semester, which it starts Feb. 17.

MY RIVALS for the Super Bowl: Autumn, my dad, my little sister Angelica (she doesn't even understand this, even though her fave color is red). Any other friend who I find them pick on/trash talk/smack talk about my Steelers, I will CHOMP YOU like I did to the Oklahoma Sooners (wait, that's College Football, sorry.) Well, YOU'LL see what I'll do.

I need to tell you the truth, I REALLY need to get out of the house, I mean, I am so F'ing TIRED of stayin here all cooked up in this house. I should start job searching. I should volunteer at the animal shelter (because I care for animals). I should attend driving school. I should do SOMETHING. My primas haven't rescued me lately. Man...I hope there's some hope in that Valentines Day Weekend. I hope I do something over there. (Right now it's unofficial, keeping it updated.)

February this year is going to be a challenge for me. February 20th is one day my life has a turning point. I have faced so many turning points in the past couple of years. With two becoming life changing after that date.

February 20, 2005: Me and my best friend Roxy got into a huge fight and after that date we never spoke again. Three days later everything started to crumble because of her.

February 20, 2006: Adam and I became closer than I have ever imagined, this was a week before I moved away, eight days later, he had that horrible seizure accident, and I never saw him again.

February 20, 2007: After hearing that my mom wanted me to move back to the US (when I was attending that so called NIGHTMARE High School) I packed my stuff and moved to Brawley. On that day I thought I was diagnosed with Tuberculosis but it all turned out that the stupid doctor gave me the wrong test results. Three days later I was attending Brawley High.

February 20, 2008: This was the day that changed my life for good. This day, I was reunited with Adam on myspace and confessed his feelings for me from freshman year. I was confused for two days, then after those two days, I said "Yes I will be your GF".
...and look at us now...

What will happen February 20, 2009? I don't want to know. I will have GOD throw it at me.

Ok, I guess I will shut up and I should do something now. I can't because I'm babysitting.

Oh and BTW, Stephanie Abrams will be at Punxatauney, PA, for one of my favorite holidays, Groundhog Day! I guess Spring is already here, so why we need one?

Why I LOVE Winter?

Why I LOVE Winter?

Reason why I write this is because Why I Love Winter week has been debuted on TWC this week.

So they ask viewers like me, "WHY do I LOVE WINTER?"

Well, I'm not a snow person, and the reason why is that I am a southern California native. I'm "supposed" to get used to the sunny and warm days here. But in the winter days, we do use the mittens, the scarves, the boots, the coats, the jackets, the sweaters, the WHATEVER, only because temperatures in the morning dip into the 30's. I use the cold clothing just like the people in the north!! In the winter, we get the rain, instead of snow. In C-Town, I always see the snow falling on the mountains, creating a spectacular view from my old house (where I used to live). I loved that view from my window. Now that I live in the desert, it's just not the same anymore. There's not even a winter season in El Centro. Like my ex-math support teacher from junior year Mr. Gertenbach said, "We never get Winter. All we get is Summer and Fall".

I really do miss the snow, and when I was living at C-Town as a young girl, every winter me and my family travel up to Oak Tree Village (home of the world-famous apple farm) which is located about 30 miles. Oak Tree Village is a little town where it is everything apple. In the winter they sell apple cinnamon tea, fresh hot apple pies, apple cobbler, etc. And in the summer and fall, they always do their world famous apple slushie. You can also press your own apple cider!!! I am looking forward to visiting Oak Tree Village again soon...probably I'll be able to visit with Adam when I am finally independent.

So I guess I'm still on Stephanie Abrams' side on the snow...but I don't want to go that far yet. I hate the extreme heat, but I hate the extreme cold. Yeah, I'm talking about the cons about winter. Winter can kill me (or rather, get me sick). I'm one person that gets sick in the winter and that's it. I despise getting the stuffy nose, and getting outside in the cold. I keep on forgetting to take my vitamin C (yes that is my winter medication, I HAVE to take Vitamin C. Miss a day, you get sick). Also, I hate winter because El Centro doesn't snow...nor rains. I'm more used to rainy days like C-Town.

Well, and that's why I LOVE (or hate) Winter.

My Dream With Abrams & Bettes

OMG I can't stop thinking about this dream I had last night. It seemed so real I kept on thinking that it happened just yesterday.

It all started when I got to meet Autumn for the first time in person in my visit to Atlanta, Georgia. We still have the passion and obsession for Abrams & Bettes. As we both strolled and visited downtown, we both saw a familiar face at a department store: Mike Bettes!!! Autumn screamed. But we didn't want to scare him off or something. So, we came up to him said hi. He was kind and stuff. He even gave us autographs. We showed him how much we admired him. And to top it off, he invited us for dinner at his house the next day. So the next day came and Autumn and I were super-duper excited. We had to dress perfectly for Mike, and we were starving...we didn't expect Mike to cook!! As it rolled around, I had a rental car and I drove with Autumn to Mike's house. We came in and his place was incredible, and the whole house smelled like fried turkey. (in fact dreamwise, he made fried turkey). The dinner table was like a thanksgiving feast, it had turkey, mashed potatoes, cooked vegetables, dinner rolls, and for dessert, triple-chocolate-chip cake, with cookie dough ice cream. Mike told us that someone else would be joining us here. And indeed he did, Stephanie Abrams came. I was so excited! And she sat next to me!!! I felt like I want to scream, but I had to hold my breath. So, Mike introduced us to Stephanie, and we started eating. When we ate, Mike and Stephanie told us a little more about A&B, and how things are shaping up. Autumn and I told them about our future goals of becoming meteorologists. And of course, Mike and Stephanie gave us advice about that. I remember one part when Stephanie said "do all of your math homework,". She told me personally, "take every single math class, even discrete math classes." because I had told her that I go to college. After eating we chilled and talked at Mike's living room. Stephanie told me that she had read one of my fanfics. She read Undiscovered Weather, one of the best fanfics I have written. She told me it was awesome. Mike and Autumn were getting along so great...even though Autumn was blushing at times :P.
On that time, Stephanie and I had so much in common, especially the part that we both like the Florida Gators. Mike talked about the time he did the Gator Chomp one time, and he said that his buckeyes will be crowned champs next year. As it all came to an end, we had to say goodbye to Mike, and Stephanie stayed with us. She told us that she can give us a tour of the A&B studio the next day. We were excited. When we returned to the hotel room, me and Autumn fell asleep in our beds, thinking about tomorrow....

The next day (today), I didn't wake up in Atlanta, I woke up in El Centro. My room smelled like turkey...but it turned out that my grandma was cooking turkey legs for dinner, since we ate Tortas. I swear to Adam and Serafina, that this dream I explained to you above...seemed so REAL it felt like it happened yesterday. Ohh man...I wonder if I am able to dream about the A&B tour??? Ohh I hope so. Stephanie seemed so nice and funny in that dream, and Mike looked HOT. I kept on saying "this weekend I went to Atlanta with Autumn to visit Mike and Stephanie" instead of "this weekend I did nothing but talk to Adam on ventrilo, and went shopping with my mom". I should start looking at reality this time...I'm just overwhelmed about the dream!!!

2008 Changed My Life

(Written December 31, 2008)

As the new year 2009 approaches, it makes me want to be focused again. Make new resolutions and predictions for the whole year and for the following year. I gotta say that I do remember every single thing that happened in the year 2008. When 2008 arrived, I always said that it would be MY year. I was very nervous because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to complete my goals, such as graduating high school and getting into college. Of course that is one of my top three priorities I had made since Junior year, but when I looked back in my junior year journal, I still have my priorities. And looking at those got me thinking: "I did them all!!!"
My top priorities made since junior year were: 1. to be able to see Adam again, 2. to graduate from High School and go to college, and 3. get a PSP!!!

I wasn't been able to complete those goals until 2008 arrived. It was my year to get them completed. I just realized that I did when 2009 arrived. I felt like I finished the year and is ready to try new things.

Making new and long time friends is also a priority for me. (It was the fourth one, formerly the third because I wanted a PSP so bad.) I really did BTW. I met Autumn, my A&B fanbuddy, now BFF. We are gonna mark a year in our friendship, (idk the day but I remember we became friends in January).Then, I can't forget the B-Town friends: Suly, Sara, Maricela, Meli, Gracie, Brenda, and Skye. They have converted me into a different person before moving out. I'm still friends with them. Some of them were my friends since Junior year when I first entered B-Town high!

Then, my favorite part of the year: Adam. My priority was to be able to see him again. But there was something that got me the urge to see him again, and it was added onto this priority. February 22, 2008 was the day he confessed his feelings to me from our freshman year and asked me if he wanted me to be his girl. I said yes. Although before that date I was a brat who didn't want a guy in her life. I wanted to be single all my life. Adam came back to me and changed that, and I feel like a completely different person. I remember one day in March, before he headed off to Kentucky, after calling him on the phone for the first time, he said he loved me, and I cried.
Then...oh yes, can't forget the day we first saw each other again. September 2, 2008!!! It was the best day of my life and I finally completed the priority to be able to see Adam again. Today, we are 10 months in our relationship, and we want it to last forever!

I graduated from High school in July. And that made me proud. And finally I was able to go to IVC and be able to sort my future out. I know by heart that I want to take the right direction, and I want to take it with Adam. I guess that would be one of my new priorities.

And...oh one more thing: the PSP. Yup, I got it too, for Christmas. I love it!!!

Now, changing the subject a little, my new years was pretty awesome, except the part that I was sooooo hyper, especially when me and Jovie did some karaoke. Mariana finished the year with her BF breaking up with her on MSN. I told her that when I see this dude again I will kick his ass (pardon my language but it's the truth. No one hurts my primas like that).

Ok, now that 2009 is coming in a matter of hours, I have decided on new priorities, and YOU, the reader, are the witness. Here I go...

1. to be able to see Adam more often!!!
2. Finish transfer studies and transfer to a university (this includes choosing a university)
3. hopefully drive
4. get a job to help pay for college!! (grants are not enough! I'd probably go back to BW)

Just a note that these are not 2009 resolutions. These are just goals or priorities that may take until the year 2010.Just to let you know I haven't made some yet. I'd probably write a new blog about it.

Bark, Bark, A New Puppy Arrives. Needing An Opinion On A Name!!!

Written: December 17, 2008

Well, ok, more of my blogging about life again.

So, when my dad came home from work, he told me and my older sister Adriana about the new puppy that will be arriving at our house soon. Well that soon, will be tomorrow!!!
I've been thinking about a name for a puppy. Dad said that the puppy, a 7 month old cocker spaniel, is a female. I want to name a puppy after my favorite show, A&B. And there are a wide variety of choices.
Ok, here we go...here's my challenge: How many names can you make out of these names:
-Stephanie Abrams
-Abrams & Bettes
-Mike Bettes

Here I Go:
Abby, Abigail, Stephie, Stephanie, Abra, Abram, Abry, Betty, Betsy, Miki, Mikey-Loo, Michie, Anie, Mikelle,

My total: 14 names. And I have to choose from that list above. It's not that easy. There is a possibility that the puppy will not be named Stephanie, because I have a cousin named Stephanie (aka Stephie, but she's a bitch, whatever xP she doesn't exist in my life anymore). I'll try to make a decision.

I thought and thought...and I was finally down with 4 names.
The choices are:
-Abby
-Abry
-Stephanie (Stephie for short)
-Abra

Ok I might need some feedback from my friends. Anyone with an opinion??? Gladly appreciated. :)
Anistorm OUT...again.

(Update!!!! December 17, 2008)

In less than 24 hours my inbox is so darn full in regards of my bulletin I just posted last night.

I need your guys's help in naming my new puppy...
It's a 7 month cocker spaniel, and it's a female.

I want to name it after my favorite show, Abrams & Bettes: Beyond The Forecast.


Last night I did a challenge, to make names out of the following names, "Stephanie Abrams", "Mike Bettes", and "Abrams & Bettes"
My total: 14, as mentioned in the last bulletin/blog

I was down to four choices:
1.
Abby
2.
Abry
3.
Stephanie (Stephie for short)
4.
Abra

Some of my friends spoke out and said that either Abby and Abry are perfect for her. Some of you said that Stephanie is too long for a 7 month old puppy.


Some of you even gave me more suggestions, such as Tajie. She named a tornado "Twista-Bettes" after a tornado, and Mike Bettes.
Instead, how about if I name mine "Twista-Abrams?" :P

Keep those suggestions coming.
T-minus 17 hours until she comes!!!!

The Internet/Phone/Cellphone/Satellite/Any-Means-Of-Communication "Crisis"

Written: December 16, 2008

Time for me to blog about life again...
Soo, what's on the newsdesk today?

Ok, so after helping my grandma I went to surf the internet and work on the final chapters of my latest fanfic Undiscovered Weather 3: Save The Date. And all of the sudden, around 12:30 or so, my internet suddenly disconnected. I was on ventrilo waiting for Adam to get on, but I was unable to reconnect. My MSN was down as well. Then, my grandma, who was watching some old movie on TV, she told me that the satellite was off, that became weird to me as well. Then at around 1:00, dad calls me. He was calling from a pay phone, telling me that there was some sort of a communication crisis going on, and his store had to be closed down. It was weird to me because he is able to call from a pay phone, but I can't call him back! Line says it's busy, and it has been busy for the past 500 times I tried to call.
Dad also mentioned that his cell doesn't have no service. Well, duh, phone lines down = cell phone lines are down as well. Mine is facing the same prob. Is Mexicali having the same crisis as El Centro?
Adriana called us, but she is at the pay phone at her work (wal-mart). She is a pharmacy tech, and she can't work because the system at the pharmacy was down. She wanted me to call someone and have this certain "someone" call back to her store for her friend. Line still says it's busy, and the past 500 times I called, Adriana was able to call back, and told her that my house phone is not working.
I waited and waited all day, and all night for this internet to get on, meanwhile, I finally got to finish my fanfic, staying up until 1:00 AM.
And just now, I discovered something. It was not just El Centro who has faced the crisis, or the Imperial Valley. It was ...around the L.A and San Diego area as well. Adriana told me that some trailer crashed into the telephone lines that disrupted every means of communication. Ohhh dorky me, I never realized that. I was about to be furious here. I guess some of my primas, my B-Town friends, and possibly, Adam had faced the crisis as me (I got his status reply on Facebook telling me that his internet was a little fishy??). THANK GOD I am not alone.
Well, I am back, and was able to post a lot of blogs. Glad everything is overwith...back to the old drawing board...hahaha

Anistorm OUT!!!

BLACK FRIDAY @ It's Wackiest

Written November 28, 2008

How was everyone's Thanksgiving?

First of all, I had turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, ham, dinner rolls, sparkling apple cider (kinda like champagne, but it tastes like apple, and it's free of alcohol), and...OMG I can't remember.

Well, there's a tradition held for the DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING. During thanksgiving, we eat, eat, eat, eat, eat and what's the last thing? Oh yeah, eat. But what else after the DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING?

All of the sudden, department stores, malls and other stores start to lower prices, lower than "rollback" prices, and announce to open their stores as early as 4 AM. This is known as BLACK FRIDAY. This day is when a person who wants something (like me, I wanted a printer) plans to get up super-duper early and get to the store at the opening time.

BUT BEWARE: Lack of parking spaces, overcrowding of stores, fights, police cars surrounding the store, store workers checking if you don't steal stuff, people stealing stuff from your carts, crying babies...OMG.

For my personal experience, this is my first time going shopping on BLACK FRIDAY. Me and my sister Adriana have been planning on this since we found out the following things on sale:

---An HP Printer/Scanner/Copier

---A 19" Plasma TV

---A bagless, cordless Vacuum

---A Hannah Montana doll (noo I can't guarantee they will be available!!)

---A Lifetime supply of plastic containers (Mom wants some)

So, this morning I woke up at 4:00. My dad was gonna enter work at 5:00, so he gave me a jump start. I got up, fed my cats Destiny and Serafina, and woke up Adriana also. We have planned to get the items above at Walmart, and they open at 5. Alexa and Angelica had to come with us. I had to wear my Florida Gators sweatshirt for luck. I am hoping for the printer to be there in my hands.

As we arrived, we couldn't believe the amount of people occupying every parking space. My sister dropped me off, so I can go fight the customers for that printer. As I entered the store. There were lines to check out, from one side of the store to the other!! And the majority of the carts were filled with plasma TV's, Xbox 360's, Laptops, Computers, mostly electronic stuff. (Cameras were at 50 dollars, laptops were at 300 dollars). The Electronics section of Walmart was at it's worst, because of the cheapest electronics I just mentioned.

So, I made my luck. I found out that there were printers still available. So I had to dodge every cart in front of me to get it. I grabbed one, stole a cart (haha not really, I just grabbed one at the front entrance, because no one claimed it). And waited for my sisters to come.

So, we all grabbed the TV, the vacuum, and the lifetime supply of containers (The Hannah Montana doll was sold out...sorry Angelica).

Oh and there was one thing I didn't mention before sharing my experience: BEWARE...I MEAN BEWARE...of super-duper-very-mery-OMG-LONG LINES.

This is like waiting to cross the border from Mexicali to Calexico. I made a record of an hour and a half just to check out.

So I don't know about you guys. This is barely my first time. And you know what...I WANT TO DO THAT AGAIN!!!!!! hahaha.

So ok, I'm gonna rest. I woke up too early. Anistorm OUT.

Birthday Love Part 3

Sunday November 16, 3 days until my bday. It was probably 9:00 in the morning because I got my 8 hours of sleep. Weird that Adriana didn't call, weirder that no one is awake. So, I decided to do something pretty cool. I opened the door slowly and exited Adam's room. I spotted one of the dogs, Nanook, sleeping in the hallway. I try my best not to wake him up. I saw my sleeping prince sleeping there on the couch. I went up to him, bent down on my knees, and started to caress his face. He smiled and woke up, opening his hazelish-brown eyes.

"Mornin, sweetie..." I whispered.

"Good morning." He replied.

I must say, we couldn't stop looking at each other. Our eyes were sparkling, like stars. I was right all along. I do believe in love in first sight. He is my first love.

We woke up and went on Ventrilo. I surprised Tony and Fred with my voice on Adam's screen name, Vega. Haha, what a wonderful surprise.

It was now 10:00, and Miriam called, just to check up on me.

"How are you doing?"

"I'm fine. I slept peacefully last night"

"Nothing bad happened last night?"

"Noooo. No. I'm positive".

"Ok, just wanted to let you know that Adriana is still throwing up, and Alex will pick you up at 1:00."

"Ok, That's fine. Perfect then. Thanx, Miriam."

"Your welcome, bye."

I told Adam that I will be picked up at 1:00. I must say, I must enjoy every moment before I leave...

As breakfast came, Rene served us up with Chorizo with eggs. (since I'm an almost vegetarian, there are some types of chorizos that make me sick, I think the driest of the dry. And yesterday I told them about the time I got sick eating Walmart Meat, yeah, you don't want to know). Then, Adam and I decided to play our favorite game, Street Fighter!!! Adam was Vega and I was Chun-Li. I know those two do hate each other, but what the FREAK, we're in love. On the Fuse Channel, the Street Fighter movie was on. We both cuddled each other and enjoyed watching it and also played against each other on Street Fighter as well.

Then, the Pittsburgh Steelers-San Diego Chargers game was on, and Adam and I went to his room to watch it. We cuddled once again.

Then, all of the sudden, Adriana called.

"Hey sis. We're here."

"Oh...you are?"

"Yeah."

"Ok, we're on our way."

I felt a little heartbroken and had to tell to Adam that my sister is now here to take me, and I guess the miracle worker as well. I got my stuff, the shirt I had on yesterday (I kept Adam's shirt on, he wanted me to keep it.)

So Adam accompanied me outside, and I said goodbye to Pam and Rene, my new mother-and-father-in-law. Then Adam and I saw the car, the miracle worker's car. I got in, and kissed Adam for one last time. And the miracle worker drove away with me, Adriana, and Alexa. At that point, we didn't return to Ontario. I went back to my home, in El Centro. Serafina is waiting for me, because I miss her so much. But I'm gonna miss Adam even more. His cuddles, his kisses, his words "I love my Ana". But those words I wil be able to hear them again, if I get my internet back on soon. I hope. And I'm still wearing the shirt he gave me, and it still drives me crazy...

...and that's my story with Adam...

Birthday Love Part 2

I woke up pretty late in the morning of November 15th, now 4 days until my birthday. It was 9:30 AM, when I was supposed to wake up at 8:00. I looked down from the bed and I saw Adriana, Alexa, and Miriam sleeping. I didn't even bother by getting up, and getting ready for my day with Adam. I have planned to stay with him all day. I took a shower, got dressed, and definetly called Adam on Miriam's cell. We have agreed that we will meet at the same corner like we did when we first saw each other, (remember "Save The Date, September 2, 2008"?) at around 11 or 11:30. At 11:25, I finally arrived at that corner, and I saw Adam coming. I shouted to Miriam, "There he is!!!"

Adam looked handsome and bright as always. Adriana met him before. He got to mee Miriam and also his new niece Alexa (who considerd him as a stranger, haha sorry, Adam). So, I got off the car, said goodbye to Adriana, Miriam, and Alexa, and finally since 2 months and a half, I was finally back in Adam's arms again.

We walked and held hands up the hill, Adam was showing me the neighborhood. He showed me where his friend Peter lives, his grandmother's house, his cousin's house, and last but not least, his house. As we stepped in, his dogs Loki and Nanook started to bark. Adam told them to be quiet because he is bringing them a new mommy (meaning: ME!)

Inside the house there was a beautiful living room. Adam's mom, Pamela, was standing at the kitchen. She was so happy to finally meet me. I gave her a big hug. And while that, Adam's dad, Rene, was excited also. Both Pam and Rene are excited that they finally got to meet me. I know Adam has told them A LOT about me, and I'm glad he did.

So for a little while, all four of us talked. Pam and Rene got to know more about me, as I talked about myself, and my side of the family. As I mentioned my sister Adriana, and Miriam, they wondered why they didn't come to meet them. Adam and I knew the reason why: She's TOO LAZY.

Adam gave me a tour of his house. His room was pretty awesome also, and he lets me check on my myspace and facebook (because I haven't been on the internet for two weeks now and it's killing me). Autumn was online and I finally got to read her message, I told her that surprisingly I'm with Adam. He said hiii to her.

Meanwhile, Pam and Rene went to the store. They have planned to make some grilled hamburgers. That would be awesome, I said. Adam and I stayed home, and had our lone time (nooooo, no, not THAT kind of lone time so DON'T START. Especially you, primas). As we surfed online on Adam's comp, and watching the Florida-South Carolina game (I'm left wondering who won the Florida-Vanderbilt game, I guess Florida did, because they went up one spot on the BCS.) And everytime me and Adam just kiss, and I'm trying to watch how Tim Tebow passes the ball to Percy Harvin, a touchdown is scored. (BTW, Adam is a USC fan, just like Rene, Adriana, and Alex...I'm not the only Florida fan in the world. I'm with Stephanie Abrams.)

And so, the hamburgers are now ready, as Pam notified us. I followed Adam to the kitchen, and prepared my own hamburger. I added lettuce, tomato, pickles, 1000 island dressing, mayonnaise, ketchup, and a large patty, between two kaiser bread buns. I served it alongside some sour cream and onion chips.

The afternoon was very tranquile. Rene popped in some music while we all enjoy our delicious hamburgers in the front garage. And I must say, those hamburgers were delicious!!!! Idk how Rene made them. Adam, Pam, Rene, and I talked and talked until the sun finally set above us.

In the night, as we all await (and wonder) the arrival of Tara, Adam's sister, Adam and I took a moonlit walk around the neighborhood, introducing me to his best friend Peter. We were there for a short time, and went back. As we went back, I decided to take out my camera and take a picture of all of us (Me, Adam, Pam and Rene). It turned out awesome. As Adam and I went back to his room, Tara finally came. I finally get to meet my future sister-in-law. Adam has another sister, Vanessa. She has a baby girl named Madison. (And yeah, she is my niece as well, along with the twins, Marcos and Hiromi, and Alexa). I haven't met her yet. And I'm looking forward to.

Anyways, Pam invited us to watch a movie...and I'm the one to choose which movie to watch. Then, there was a call...for me! It was Adriana.

"Hey, sis. Do you want to come with us to the party? We just got in."

I'm like, "Barely? I thought you said 4:00."

"I'm just asking. You can stay until we're finished."

"Ok, we're about to watch a movie anyways. You go have fun."

...and that pretty much ended the conversation. I chose Ironman, and I get to watch it in Blu-Ray. (Hahahaha I'm envying my dad, because he wanted to see a Blu-Ray movie and he couldn't.). I got to see the difference between regular movie watching, and watching a movie ..ay. I was on the edge of my seat next to Adam (Adam however, he was laying his head on my lap. I love how he does that.)

All of the sudden, during the ending of Ironman, Miriam suddenly calls...

"Ana guess what..."

"What is it, Miriam?"

"We're drunk."

"You're what???"

"We're drunk, your sister has been throwing up so much."

"Oh mannn, man. I knew it would happen."

"How are you gonna get back to Ontario? Can Adam's dad take you back?"

"Hold on..."

I told Adam, Pam and Rene about the situation Miriam and Adriana are facing. I have seen this before. This could mean I have to spend the night here with Adam.

Then, Rene did say I was more than welcome to spend the night here. But my sister had said I don't have permission. I got back to the phone with Miriam.

"Adam's dad is drunk also." I said.

"Aww, ok. Let me call you back later, and let me see if I can convince your sister if you can stay ok?"

"Ok then, bye."

I hung up, and rushed to the restroom. IronMan is almost over. As I returned to see the ending of the movie, Adam and I returned to his room, and that's when Miriam called back.

"Ana, guess what...you can stay there until tomorrow."

"Oh, that's cool."

"But let me tell you something. You two can't sleep in the same bed."

"I know that, Miriam."

Adam shouted from the background "I know that, Miriam!! My mom and dad talked about it."

"And if something's wrong, call us for anything, ANYTHING. Do you think you can handle it?"

"Miriam, I can handle anything. In fact, his parents have offered me to spend the night, anyways, so there's nothing to worry. Like you said, I'm almost 18 and I'm taking responsibility now."

"That's my little sister."

"Ok, and buy some extra buckets for Adriana, ok. And tell Alexa that I miss her ok?"

"Ok, take care."

I hung up and told Adam that I was officially staying the night. Then I told Pam and Rene. They were happy also. So, Adam offered me some comfortable clothing, a shirt and some pj's.

I guess I was wearing the scent of Adam around me, as I felt like I was getting high or something. It was about 11 PM and Adam, Rene and I stayed up to watch TV. (BTW, Rene was playing a game on his comp). At 12:00, Adam and I went to his room to show me World Of Warcraft, a game he plays everyday. Then, at 1:00 AM, Adam tucked me in to his bed, because he will be sleeping at the couch. ***sigh***. He kissed me good night and left his room. It was a little dark though, but I know he's there for me when I need him....
