Volume Twent-Four

Hey everyone! So once more I stopped posting and I feel horrible about that. Here I am now though!
So I finally finished another year of horrible school and am now enjoying some down time and spending as much time as I can with my friends and family and finding different way to make money. I'm currently making handmade teddy bears and having my mom help sell them at her job and I continue to bake and sell tasty treats too.
My mom and I are back on the hunt for a house and once again the stress is setting in. I never remembered house hunting being so hard and stressful but then again I was a kid and never paid much attention to things like that so. . . go figure right? But I'm staying positive and keeping my head up because I know we're going to find a good place and than I'll FINALLY have my OWN ROOM! I've missed it so!
For those of you romantics wondering about my love life. . . Enzo and I are still together and happy. So when I last updated you all he was doing his EMT training (extremely stressful ordeal for both of us!) but now he's done with the training and was able to take the firefighter test which was his goal. he passed both the physical and written exams with flying colors and really impressed the chief of the fire department! he started working on the 18th of this month and apparently when you join a station, the first year is incredibly hard. the other firefighters at the station are supposed to give you a hard time, the same way fraternity brothers treat their pledges, and if you make it past the first year its smooth sailing. So as of right now, he likes it but he is getting a had time from the other boys. of course though BOYS will be BOYS!
He and I have been trying to make as much time as possible to talk and Skype ad actually we just ended a 2-hour Skype date and I have no idea why but when we Skype. . . he brings out my inner dork. . . which is somehow more of a dork than the "normal" me. Bu than he started falling asleep and I let him go because he has to train tomorrow because his martial arts instructor chose him to do a cage fight in August!
Well anyway that's about all for now. When we get the house, I'll get internet and will be able to blog more because I despise blogging on my phone. I'll try harder though! XOXO

Volume Twenty-Three

Hello cuties of the cyber world!
So I've gone back to my old was of being horrible at posting and honestly I have no excuse so I'm sorry.
To catch you up with everything that's happened since January. . . I have started my new school and I'm still working on breaking out more. I have a good group of friends but in order for me to achieve my goal I still need to put myself out there more but I'm on a good tack so far. I've narrowed my college choices to 3 and hopefully all goes well and I can attend one and start a great career. All though I'm excited for my senior year to arrive and fly by, I'm really nervous about graduating. It seems like suddenly the word ADULT has a whole new meaning and it's intense and nerve racking. I' excited to start a new chapter and begin my life and grow independent I'm still scared. I'll be away from my family and have new responsibilities all of a sudden and the stakes are high. I have one more FULL year here and then I'm off to a new state, with new people, and new places. I'll only have one familiar face with me and I'm glad I have her (Nickki). We're both super excited but scared. For everyone who isn't scared about life after graduation. . . NEWS FLASH: you should be!
We're going to be adults which means being in charge of our lives and having to pay bills, stay motivated on our own to achieve whatever goals we set for ourselves, we have to survive without our parents and thou that can seem easy, the more you think about it and the closer you get to it. . .  the scarier the thought becomes. I'm really grateful to have my family support my choice to leave the state and I know they'll be behind me 100% and that when I need them they'll be there for me. It makes the decision easier. I now my family will be with me the second I need them. I may sound like  kid but I love my mommy and I'm really happy that she's letting me venture and grow up like this. I owe her so much and I'll miss her so much I already know it. I'll probably constantly be Skyping with her to make it easier on the both of us.
Enzo and I are also still together and doing great. He's feeling the pressure of EMT school but he enjoys it and I support him fully. Unfortunately he wont be able to take the firefighters test until next year which pushes our plan a year. in other words we have to wait an extra year to be together in Oregon but if all goes well and I make enough money I'll be able to go to South Carolina after I graduate and go see him for a little while.
Nickki is with David and after spending more time with him, I've grown to like him. He' funny and makes her smile which it what rely matters. Finding someone that can make you smile, even if they drive you absolutely bonkers sometimes. They're in love and they work together. Hopefully he can join us in Oregon and they can stay together.
Well that what you've "missed" summarized. I've been doing school stuff and going to dances and being a teen trying to enjoy the time I have left in California, that somehow reminded me that I really need to drive more so that on my 18th birthday I can just get my license and not have to pay those crazy fees!!!
I hope everyone has a great day ad I'll try and get better at blogging more (sorry again). Now I gotta get back to work and finish reading this book for my lit class. SMILE!!! XOXO

Volume twenty two

Hello beauties :)
I hope everyone had a great start to the New Year and had a nice countdown. Let me know what you resolutions ate for the new year in a comment :)
Lately I've been busy and for a while I was having a lot of problems with my phone but I've gotten all of that resolved and I have a new iPhone 4S and its great really love it.
In other news Enzo has been super busy with his EMT classes lately but we've been doing great and are happy to ring in the new year as a happy loving couple together :) it was a great year for us and were both excited to see what 2013 will bring for us as individuals and as a couple.
I spent New Years celebrating with Nickki and Sarah and a few other friends and it was super fun to see them and bring in the year with smiles and laughter and pizza with bacon!!!
I'm not too sure what my resolution this year is but I know one thing is for sure: I will not be as shy this year. Switching schools and starting over will be hard but I want to make my senior year great and know a lot of people and that won't be possible if I stay cripplingly shy.
One thing that I plan on doing for this year is to write a sentence everyday about what happened or how I felt or anything and put it in a jar. Then New Years of next year I can look back and see how my year went and if I accomplished my resolution or not. It'll be a great year so don't forget to keep checking back with me, spread word bout this blog and follow me :) and dont forget to SMILE xoxo hugs and kisses

Volume Twenty-One

Hi everyone.
It's getting really close to Thanksgiving! I am definitely excited about it just because I love holidays that bring the family together. This year my mom and brother and I decided to do something different because my family didn't really talk about what was going to happen for Thanksgiving so instead of everyone getting together like we normally do at my grandma's, we will actually be doing a food challenge at a ramen place called Hakata Noodle in Rosemead where you have to 6 sets of noodles and can only get more actual soup once, for $10. If we make it we'll get a $50 gift card, a tee shirt and a full stomach! If you live in/around Rosemead you should definitely go because it's great food and it'll be pretty awesome. It actually sounds like a super weird thing to do for Thanksgiving but that's what we're doing. Then on Black Friday, we'll be doping something more festive by having a smaller version of the typical Thanksgiving dinner. My mom's going to make chicken and mashed potatoes and green bean casserole, my brother is going to make a pecan pie and I'll be making a Boston cream pie and drinks for us. Our days are all mixed up. Of course, just because I'm doing this dinner on Black Friday does NOT mean I won't be going out to find something to buy! I love going out and finding something great for super cheap. This year should be fun. . .
What do you have planned for the holiday?
Okay so off the festive stuff and on to something new. . . so I was having a conversation with my friend about last names and how certain first names go really well with a certain last name (i.e.: John and Smith) and she told me that either Ramirez or Rodriguez suited me the best. When I told Enzo he sounded sad so I asked why. His response: Babe, if your a Rodriguez or Ramirez, that means you won't be a Calvo so you won't be my wife. That made me smile and I just wanted to go kiss him and hug him forever.
Well I've actually been putting off starting on an important report for history class so I have to go do research but don't forget to spread the word about this blog, follow me, leave a comment or send me an email. SMILE!!! XOXO hugs and kisses

Hey everyone! Daniela back, obviously! Well sorry I couldn't post yesterday, I was super busy since my mom had a horrible headache and I had to focus on making her feel better, which she didn't. She's better today though and tomorrow she'll be going out near LA for a co-worker's 50th birthday, he doesn't even look 40 so it was really weird to find out he's turning 50. . . anyways that'll be fun for her and of course that means I get the house to myself so. . . PARTY TIME!! Just joking, I'm actually not a huge party animal I'm more the type to stay home and watch movies and eat ice cream, mostly cause I have no real life and people I know are bad at making plans so it's just easier to do what I want I guess. I might go and meet up with some friends on Saturday thou and go to the movies to see The Perks of Being A Wallflower since I love Emma Watson and that movie just looks like it'll be funny and heartfelt and just all around like a good movie. Hopefully I can go see it and if not then hopefully I'll be able to have a friend come over Saturday instead.
Since it's a three day weekend I have to spend at least one day at home, watching Holiday movies, eating chocolate and drinking either hot chocolate or coffee while curled up on the couch with Enzo!!
It'll be nice to relax and have some time to just savor the Holiday feeling.
So for those Twi-hards out therer who can't wait to se the final installment of The Twilight Saga, I'm putting a video below that shows you how to talk like Kristen Stewart, in case you ever wanted to look spastic and uncomfortable and all around akward when you go see the movie. You never know, there could be a movie scout there looking for another Kristen Stewart type to play a role in another upcoming Hollywood blockbuster. I mean if she can get discovered for twitching and brething heavily and unnecesarily throughout a movie, so could you.

Tell me that's not exactly what she does!!! All jokes aside, I will be at the movies watching this next friday with my Tia Anna and we're both Robert Pattinson fans so Team Edward (he's my husband)!
In other non-twilight news, I'm wondering how many of you went and checked out that bad lip reading video from Wednesday and saw some of their other clips. Let me know what you thought of those videos or of this "tutorial" on how to talk like K-Stew. (best of luck)
Well I have to get going, also I'm considering writing songs again and possiby posting the lyrics on here for you to rate. Let me know if I should in an email or comment. I might even do some sort of make-up tutorial on YouTube. . . Again comment or email me. Spread the word and follow me and comment below. SMILE!!! XOXO hugs and kisses.

Hey everyone! So as you should all know, yesterday was election day. Obama won. Hopefully those who could vote, did so, and for those who can't yet vote, well we really couldn't do much but bite our nails and hope for the best.
In other news, 'cause I for one am so over the politics already. . . I am currently at the library trying my best to contain my laughter while watching this video. I know it's kind of dumb and some of you might not find it as funny as I do but in all honesty I'm fairly easy to make laugh and I laugh at corny/dumb stuff so that explains why the man sitting next to me is staring at me like I'm a special kid eating glue farting in the corner. . . I have no idea what that would really look like but ya he's looking at me funny. . . I'm disturbing the peace in the library. . . YAY! A GOAT.... If you didn't click the link and see the video that joke was wasted on you, scroll and click the link and watch the video. If you saw it and aren't laughing then I suppose you and I just don't have the same sense of humor. But if you saw it and liked it I definitely recommend some of their other videos because they do a pretty good job and their funny!!
In other, non-ridiculous news. . . Enzo finally got his phone and we can finally text. He's so sweet. He worked longer shifts and everything so he could get it back sooner then we initially planned.
Well today hasn't brought anything new except for the fact that. . . well Romney isn't in office so today hasn't brought anything new at all. Now I'm not sure if i posted or not but a little while ago my mom and I were told that we actually couldn't buy a house yet because our old house in Florida went into foreclosure and we have to wait until 2013 in order for to get a new home. The law says that you can't buy a new property until 3 years after the  previous property went into foreclosure. BOOM Real Estate lesson for all you suckers!!
Well I'm out of things to ramble about so I'm going to wrap this up now. . . remember to spread the word and follow me. LOVE YOU! XOXO hugs and kisses.

Volume Eighteen

Hello beautiful people of earth!
Hope everybody had a fun Thursday, recovering from all the craziness of Halloween right? By that I mean, the sugar rush and excitement of course ha ha. Well today was a fairly stressful day for me because I'm sick, I'm barely getting any sleep and to top it off I had this huge exam in anatomy. If anyone out there has had or is taking anatomy, you know/will know what I'm talking about. It's a huge test where you have to see a bone and name what bone it is and the different parts of that bone, it's hard and scary because since it's anatomy, it's a big piece of your grade to know the bones. After all it is the basics of anatomy ha ha. Other than that huge stresser the day wasn't bad. It was a very close friends birthday today so of course, happy birthday to him: HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEON!!!
I have a question for everyone: Whats your best birthday memory? Leave it as a comment or email it to me.

I've been listening to this group called MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS lately and Marina is a great singer. She's welsh but she has songs in English. She is my newest musical obsession and her songs have a really upbeat tone to them and shes very different in my opinion because her songs aren't just "get up and dance" they're the type of songs where you can dance and then sit down and hear all the meaning in her words and understand why the songs has the tone and sound that it does. It's very multi-layered which I totally love. Even her look is different and I'm not talking different colored wig everyday and crazy outfits, I'm talking she has a different style all together. She has this gorgeous semi-blond hair, i say semi because well she has really dark roots and she lets them grow out. you can see it is one of her videos while as other videos her hair is dark brown/ black. she has a cute wardrobe and does her makeup differently but putting a heart on her upper left cheek. the reason: "Rule number three, wear your heart on your cheek
But never on your sleeve, unless you wanna taste defeat" those are her lyrics to a really catchy song of hers called "How to be a Heartbreaker." Here's her video for that song:

See the heart? Kinda hard to miss huh? lol well she is my latest obsession and that song is super catchy to me and I think it's kind of funny and cute and well there's allot of cute shirtless guys in the video so ya bonus points to Marina ha ha. If your wondering what the lyrics are for any part here they are! I hope you'll check out more of her songs and maybe she can be the song you have on repeat :)

This coming Saturday is the day I throw my aunt her surprise party and we celebrate my brother's 21st birthday. We're going to have absurd amounts of food and fresh waters and of course, being the sweet girl I am, I'll be making some delicious chocolate cupcakes that both my aunt and my brother love. I'll take pictures and will actually put them on here for a change lol. Well I have to go so I can look up more information on my next school :) Come back soon and spread the word about this blog please! SMILE!!! XOXO hugs and kisses
