Happy New Year!!!

Before I went to bed, I wanted to wish you a very happy New Year! I hope you had an amazing night. I did. My mom made vegetarian lasagna, and we drank wine. Then we watched "Oliver!", it ended about 30 minutes before 12 AM; so I went upstairs to my room because my mom was already fast asleep and my dad was sleepy.

I watched David Cook at the Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve; but I pretty much only wanted to see the Jonas Brothers, which I obviously missed. I saw the countdown and kissed Pepino when the ball dropped. Then I ate a Jolly Rancher hard candy, because I heard that in order to have good news all year, the first thing you eat should be sweet; so I hope that works.

Right now I'm just sipping my wine and watching Frasier. I have a little Christmas story I want to tell you, but I'll do that later today; the wine is making me sleepy.

This year I wish you health, love, success, happiness, and whatever it is that you most want.

Love,
Ana

My Favorite Magazine... EVER!!!

I really enjoy magazines, especially girly ones. Sometimes I'll go to Wal-Mart or Target and I'll flip through Popstar, Seventeen, Cosmopolitan, even Vogue. But the only magazine I actually buy is called 15 a 20. I can actually say that I'm a collector of the magazine, because I've been buying it every month for a couple of years now. The thing is, it can only be found in Mexico. I really like this magazine in particular because it talks about a little of everything; celebrities, fashion, health, exercise, make up, and it has very fun articles. The covers are usually unknown Mexican models (girls), and occasionally celebrities. They rarely put boys on the cover, but I really wanted a Jonas Brothers cover. So I was determined to send a message to the magazine's Myspace, requesting the cover. I went to their profile, and the first thing I saw was the display image. It was the cover of October's magazine, and to my surprise, it had Nick, Joe, and Kevin looking amazing on it. I would have screamed, but it was about 11:30 PM, and I didn't want to wake up anybody. I totally left a comment on the picture, and I was counting the seconds till I could go buy it. All this was on Friday, September 26.

I live in a city bordering Mexico, so it's really no hassle going to buy it and come back. Don't think it is a 10 hour trip, I would not do so much as that only for a magazine. And every time we go, we also go visit my grandma and my cousin. So on Saturday, October 4th, we were all dressed up and on the car, ready to go. But my mother wanted to go to the Interceramic sale, and decided to buy 700 ft square of floor tile, therefore cancelling our little trip to Mexico. And I wasn't upset at all, the whole buying-new-floor situation was exiting, and I still had a month to get the magazine, so why worry?

So we postponed the trip until Monday, October 6th. I went and bought the magazine, and I fliped right over to the JB interview. I sort of skimed it and then I saw the poster that came in the magazine. It is adorable!! When I got home, I put it on my wall imediately. I'm not one of putting posters of guys up in my room, but these aren't just any guys, these are the Jonas Brothers.

Now, I as I write this, I can look over at my wall, and I can see my three favorite boys: Kevin, Joe, and Nick.

I'm a big fat procrastinator!!!

I have recently discovered that I procrastinate a lot. And I must admit that I am not happy about it. I go all day long just goofing around, and then I suddenly realize that it is dark outside, and that I didn't do anything at all that day. ALL DAY!! When I could have done my homework, read over my class notes, bake some cookies or cupcakes for my family, walk my dog, clean my room, read a book, watch my Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato DVDs... but I just don't seem to get to it. It is frustrating, but I really can't help it...

For example, right now I should be writing my English essay (which is a very messy rough draft as of right now...), writing a journal for another class, and getting into bed early. I only have classes Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I had four days to do all the mentioned before, and I didn't do anything. It is embarrassing to tell you this, but it is the truth, and it is all about being sincere here.

So, I need to make major changes in my behavior, because like this, I won't get anywhere in life. Well, I'm going to stop writing this post and try and do a bit of my homework. Maybe it would be better if I told my mother about my procrastination issues, because she would be happy to end my suffering by slicing my throat.

Goodnight,
Love,
Ana

Demi Lovato's New Album: "Don't Forget"

I became a fan of Demi Lovato when I saw the movie "Camp Rock". She is such a pretty girl and what I like the most about her are her amazing teeth, fixing her gap made a huge difference. But yes, she can act and she is an incredible singer as well. Also, as you may all know, Demi makes YouTube videos with her BFF Selena Gomez, another Disney star. I obviously subscribed to her videos, like the true fan I am.

Ok, back to the real deal. Her album came out on September 23, 2008, but I bought it the next day because I didn't have a ride that day. On the 24th, my mom drove me to Target where I bought the 2 disc edition. When I got home, I rushed to watch the Micheal Buckley's live show, so I did not hear the album until a couple hours after. Demi looks so beautiful on the cover and on the picture's on the little lyric booklet. I inserted the disc in my laptop and placed the headphones over my ears. I heard the whole disc from beginning to end, while I read the lyrics. When it ended, I was really satisfied. The songs are more rock than pop, but yet it has a fun side to it. Some are upbeat and others are more like ballads. I'd already heard "Get Back" which is obviously one of my favorites. I also liked "Don't Forget" a lot! It is such a beautiful song, and it kinda makes me tear up. "La La Land" I hadn't heard before, and it is probably the song that is stuck in my head right now. And another favorite is "On The Line", which is a duet with the Jonas Brothers. I'm also a huge fan of them, so I thought the song was amazing! They (the Jonas Brothers) co-produced six of the songs in the disc, and you can actually hear them as background vocals or playing guitar or drums.

So overall, I loved the CD, it was really worth my money, it is really an amazing piece. I haven't watched the DVD yet, but I will probably do that later today (it's 2:14 AM as I type), and I'll get back to you with my thoughts... LOL, did you caught my little pun? I'm such a dork...

Goodnight,
Love,
Ana
