I've Done Wrong and Forever Will

2011-04-01T01:53:00.001-04:00

I am really not whom I've been making myself seem to certain people. I've talked wrong about the people I consider friends and talked bad about things they do knowing I do the same thing myself. I really am nothing and I always believed there was something wrong with myself. Like, maybe I was born with something wrong in my head. I've taken someone for granted and believed this person wasn't enough. I had to go always behind this person's back and look for bigger and better things. Even though I can't never have them right in front of me it gives me pleasure. I've been called a pig a liar and been caught lying so I want you all to know I am the biggest lair there is. I am used to say "I will change" but actually never do. Now this is one of those times where I say "I will change" but that's only because things got pretty bad. I deserve nothing I have. There will be bad things coming my way. If you read this don't feel bad for me at all!! Please! I know me better than anyone. You don't know me. Feel free to unfollow me. Don't think I've been hacked by a stranger. I've been hacked by someone who thought it know me but now it definitely knows me. I am a copy of my horrible dad.

Remember don't feel bad for me in any type of way. I am just someone who took advantage of good people. And for that I will pay. Even though today's April fools this isn't a joke though, I promise. Even though I don't keep my promises.

I Cross My Heart

2010-12-27T01:51:00.007-05:00

Merry Christmas everyone and hope your New Year will be an awesome one.

My Christmas was an amazing one that I spent it with Muñeca and her family. We celebrated with a party on Christmas Eve that went on into the night. After midnight hit, everyone begin to hand out their presents that they had for others. All everyone had was presents for the people they had as their Pollyanna pick, but me and Muñeca were different. When it was our turn we each had an extra present for Muñeca's mother and gifts for each other. I wanted to give Muñeca her gifts as soon as possible, but she didn't allow me. So, I waited to the end and got up and made her accept her gifts.

She had already opened three gifts before this so it was time for the last three.

All together I gave her a small portfolio of Pokemon cards, a Donkey Kong figurine, Pikachu and Piplup bobble heads, 'Sonic Colors' for the Wii, Ponyo DVD & plush set and the Limited Edition Super Mario Bros. 25th anniversary DSi XL that came with a free case for the DS. Yea, I spoiled her.

After that we left to her house where she had my gifts. She got me 'Epic Mickey' for the Wii, a mini keyboard to use with my Wii and PS3 and a Charizard figurine. (Charizard is still being looked for due to problem with delivery)

Then she told me that she had a gift that she wanted to give me on our anniversary, but since I made her feel so special, she decided to give it to me as a last gift. She handed me the small box that fit right in my hand. I opened and saw a huge ring made especially for me. Inside it says "I Cross My Heart 03/13/08"

I put it on and she told me it's her promise to me and that she wants to be with me forever. Nothing could be more special than this.

I now have two pieces of jewelry from Muñeca and they each mean so much to me. The other is a locket that reads "You Are The Only Exception" That she gave me on my birthday. I keep each one so close to me and wear them as much as possible.

This was definately the best Christmas of my life. Not a dull moment at all thanks to the love of my life, Muñeca.

Back To Blogger!

2010-12-02T23:05:00.005-05:00

Hello there Blogger world! Its been a long time. Don't think I abandoned my blog, I'd never do that. I just been without online access after leaving my grandmother's house and moving back with my father. Now with the help of my lovely girlfriend Muñeca, I will be able to update my blog a few times a month. She also will be including her photography to my entries when she has a chance. When you see "Lydia Del Valle Photography" on photos that means its hers. You can click here to see her work and here to go to her blog.

First off biggest news of the past few months was getting a new job! Back in September I started at Oteri's Bakery. It has helped me to bring in a better income and has taken away a lot of stress that my previous job gave me with all the traveling it involved. I am not quite fond of the job, but its good for now and it allows me to spend more time with Muñeca.

Cookies from my job.

I also just got a PlayStation 3 last month. If you were a reader of my blog before then you know I'm really into gaming so I needed one of these. I am most excited that I can start playing Madden online once I get the game. So far all I have is Little Big Planet to play online, which is fine cause it is a fantastic game. ANyone interested in playing online? Comment this post with your PlayStation network ID.

All in all, I have become a bit happier person then I was before. I still have troubles at home and can't wait to get out and get a home of my own but I have a wonderful woman next to me and a great lookout on life so things are only great in my future.

Thanks for reading and look forward for more posts upcoming from me.

In Other News

2010-07-21T00:49:00.000-04:00

I have been working hard on many things. I have gotten more into photography since I started my Tumblr and have been posting over there a lot. I am happy with what I have been doing and it feels great to get some quality stuff out there.
I also have been seeing bright things when it comes to working. I have been asked if I am interested in promotions and I feel more confidence about doing anything as a career. At the same time I am depressed because I want things to speed up so I can start getting money to move out, but I know patience is key. I wish my family understood that.

So today is Wednesday now and I am hoping it's a wonderful day! I have plans on seeing Despicable me with Muñeca and I know it will be a great movie. At the same time it gives us a shot to take many photos with both of our cameras, so poke balls to that!

I will try to blog more to keep things up to date, It's just hard when I am always sweating and uncomfortable.
I'll try to be back tomorrow with my day if we do go out!
Read ya later!

Heatwave #5

2010-07-21T00:25:00.000-04:00

So yes, we are curently going through the 5th heat wave of the 2010 summer season here in Philadelphia. I have nothing more then a window fan and a ceiling fan to cool me down, but at this point, they aren't doing much. My sister offered me and air conditioner, but my grandmother won't allow one.
My grandmother has been really breaking ties with me. She has begun disrespecting me and saying and doing dumb things in attempts to make me mad. She is making many attempts to have me basicly support her now by acting like she isn't able to do so herself. Now I know it sounds like I am being an asshole, but belive me, before i got here she was fine. Now she acts like she has personal problems, she says things about how she is leaving the house for good and the other day she began to mop the floor! Almost everday she comes into my room and moves things around, sometimes for no reason. I really hate that, believe me. My grandmom is the type of person who tries to make people feel bad for her and then help her out somehow. She does it with all the others in my family and now that I am so close to her, I am her main victim.

Tumblr- No Blueprints

2010-07-10T20:17:00.001-04:00

I am now a member of tumblr. I decide to make it so that I separate certain posts between my two blogs. I will keep this blog as the one where I write personal entries and write long stories about my life. My Tumblr, which I named No Blueprints, will consist of videos, photos and things that I find cool in general. Basicly the posts there will be short and sweet, while I save the big ones for here on Strife.

Thanks everybody who follows me here qand who will follow my Tumblr. It is greatly appreciated.

Visit my Tumblr at http://no-blueprints.tumblr.com/

Also, sorry if I have not commented on your blog recently. My computer is really on the fritz and a lot of your blogs won't pop up. But, I have a solution. I will be readin your entries from my Wii where it works so expect more from me.

Read ya later!

Love letter of July: Thank You

2010-07-06T22:46:00.004-04:00

You are like no other. Everyday I deal with people that show the worst of themselves. No respect for no one, not even the one in the mirror. Cursing, fighting, jealousy and envy rule their lives day after day.

Luckily, you're different. You show me something that I have not found in anybody else in the world, respect.

You give me hope in everything I do. You make it possible for me to work hard everyday and know that it's worth something. With out you, I would have never have become a man. One with honor and determination. One who respects a woman and her being. I now know I have the power to do what ever I want and no matter where it takes me, I'll be happy.

Anyone reading, appreciate what you have. Work hard and things will work out the way you want them, but stay humble, don't get greedy. Appreciate life and all it has to offer.

And to Muñeca, Thank you.

I love you.

Nelson, June 30th

2010-07-05T12:10:00.005-04:00

I finally am getting around to uploading these pictures I took of my friend Nelson.

We went to our old middle school to take them, because I felt it was a good enviornment. I love how a few of them turned out.

So, check them out and tell me what you think?

Toy Story 3

2010-06-26T23:01:00.001-04:00

Finally we got to see the most anticipated movie of me and Muñeca's two decade long life. I would like to thank Mother Nature for making the weather perfect for us, without her it wouldn't have been possible.
We left out early, well not as early as we wanted, but around 12 noon. We were headed all the way out to King of Prussia, since that is where the Imax theater is. One thing I always love is having first with Muñeca, and today was our first movie in Imax.
When we got there we still had about four hours until our movie started,(told you we left early.) but it was okay, we had this big ass mall to explore. We walked through it many times, sometimes passing the same store over and over. We passed Pac-Sun about five times and each time we asked our selves, "who shops there?" We both had outfits on thanks to that store :P
We ate a not so good salad. The lettuce tasted like onions and the honey mustard wasn't up to par with what SaladWorks has offered us. Luckily six dollar nachos were in our future, so the disappointment was erased by anticipation.
We took a look inside of a Hello Kitty store. Muñeca loves that little feline. I also learned that when I get a home that I'll be sharing a bed with Muñeca and a 50 pound Hello Kitty plush.
When we got to the theater, we still had about an hour. We were one of the firsts to get our seats. I was amazed by the screen, but saddened by the piece of crap 3D shades.
Anyway, after dishing out for some over expensive (but delicious) nachos and a huge sprite, our movie was ready to begin.
As always, Pixar had a short film before the main one. It was called "Day and Night." It had these two weird creatures who's bodies would show images. It was a cute and had me laughing a bunch, but I wanted the main event!
Finally it began. From the very beginning I was hooked on to the screen. The movie looked brilliant in Imax. Things really jumped out at you at times. It was way better then the regular 3D movies we saw before.
As for the movie itself, the wait was worth it. I laughed my whole way through. So many hilarious moments again and again. For anybody that hasn't seen it, I won't ruin it for you, don't worry.
I loved the "Big Baby" character. He is basically one of those baby doll's that you get your daughter when she is four so she can pretend to be a mommy. But now, this baby was bad ass. He had tattoos around his body and a mean attitude. I just love how creative they got.
Also, if you saw Spanish Buzz from the commercials, then you know you are going to crack up when you see him in the movie.
While watching, be on the lookout for many Easter eggs that Pixar puts into the movie, including an appearance by Sid, the evil kid from Toy Story 1.
In the end I was satisfied. It was an awesome movie that I can't wait to see again. An instant classic that you all must see.

Rose & Marvin

2010-06-16T20:06:00.011-04:00

Yesterday I took some pictures for my good friends Marvin and his girlfriend Rose.
Today I'd like to share them with you. So, give me any opinions you may have on them.
Thanks.

I would like to Thank Rose and Marvin for this opportunity to photograph them. It was great to take pictures of a couple because it just makes the pictures seem happier at times.

In the end I am proud of my work. I thank Muñeca for teaching me a lot too.
So look them over and tell me what you think.

Top 10 of E3

2010-06-16T01:05:00.005-04:00

So yesterday I got to see Nintendo and Sony's E3 conferences. Lots of great games and so many surprises. I got to say I am extremely satisfied with what gaming hold in the upcoming future. So I'd like to make a top 10 list of the games that I saw and include their trailers.
Enjoy!

10.Wii Party

I like the look of this game because I always like finding a way to use the Miis on the Wii. Lots of mini games and it looks like me and Muñeca could have a lot of fun with them.

9.Kirby's Epic Yarn

Kirby is a cool character to me. I remember playing games of his when I was a kid and I enjoyed what it had to offer. When I see this game I get reminded of Paper Mario and how inventive that game was. I love the originality it brings to the table, so I think it would be a very enjoyable game.

8.Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit

I haven't had a racing game for so many years. I think that once I get a PS3, it will be time to get into one again. I was a fan of the other Need for Speed titles, so I'm sure this one won't be looking to disappoint.

7.Mario Sports Mix

This is obviously a must have for us. It has fun written all over it. Plus, Yoshi is in the game so Muñeca can pick him all she wants.

6.Little Big Planet 2

I was really interested in the first Little Big Planet, but never got to play since I never owned a PS3. Hopefully it is as fun as it looks. I love using creativity so this seems like an awesome title for my library.

5.Pokepark Wii

Being a Pokemon fan means that anything with Pokemon is going to interest me. This one looks to be fun with all the small mini games and what not. I'm just addicted to Pokemon period.

4.Metroid: Other M

This Metroid game looks awesome. From the way the video looks, there seems to be a whole lot of action involved. I never got my hands on a Metroid title before so this may be the first one I check out.

3.Twisted Metal

I remember playing Twisted Metal on my PS1. It was one of my favorite games to play when there where a lot of people around. Plus, this game just looks 10 times better. I am glad they decided to bring this franchise back.

2.Donkey Kong Country Returns

This was the biggest surprise for me. When i heard the music start I got excited as hell. I've been missing new Donkey Kong forever! I always loved the soundtrack to these games, so I can't wait to be singing these tunes all over again.

1.The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

I pretty much knew they were going to show this at E3, but still, so exciting. I started playing "A Link to the Past" again recently just because of being anxious for this title. The Wii MotionPlus is going to add so much to the game play. The new painting styles graphics are awesome and at the end of the day, it's Zelda. Its going to be Epic!

Other interesting titles that were shown (but some had no video) include:

Nintendogs & Cats
Animal Crossing 3DS
Mario Kart 3DS
Kid Icarus
Sonic Colors
Medal Of Honer

and of course, the 3DS was finally shown.

I can say that the next year in gaming, is going to be awesome!

Cool Shit!

2010-06-13T22:07:00.002-04:00

So since yesterday I was able to get some things that were bothering me off my chest, today I'll talk about some things that are cheering me up.

First up, tomorrow is the first day of E3 For anybody who doesn't know what E3 is, it is a convention for the gaming industry to unveil all the things they are working on. Every year is a surprise and I can't wait to see what they have this year. Rumors are that Nintendo will be revealing a new Zelda title that should be out by the end of this year! Anybody that has paid attention before will know my fascination with the Zelda franchise. So this, along with many other surprises will have me excited for the next few days.

I have also got into reading the Pokemon Adventures manga recently. I found the whole series online and it is really good. I'm currently on chapter 122 of this huge series. Any Pokemon fans looking to check it out can go to www.mangatoshokan.com and start reading.

Also I have been getting ready for Toy Story 3 to be released! It comes out June 18th, but, me and Muñeca will wait a few days after until we go and see it. We are bringing Yotsuba along with us since she is so in love with Woody as of late. It has been so long since that last movie and I don't think I have ever anticipated a movie so much. I am positive that this day will be one to remember.

So I'll be sure to let you guys know how i feel about the movie and what else goes on that day.

Till then, read ya later!

Annoying shit

2010-06-12T21:42:00.003-04:00

So if you may recall, I currently stay in my Grandmothers home. I originally came here because she saw he position I was in and she said she was willing to help me. She came one day, told me to pack my things, and took my out of sleeping on my mothers couch and gave me a room of my own. I explained to her what i am focused on and how I plan on doing it. So she said I can stay until I find a better job and can afford my own apartment.
This took loads of stress away. I was able to sleep in a bed and she always cooked something so I didn't go nights hungry. I began saving my money and filling out more applications. I had an interview at Gamestop that never worked out. I guess they found someone better. Other then that, I've been going everyday to my current job even though pay sucks and inst getting me no where.
But now it's changed. My grandmom has been acting so different. I catch her in lies, like this one for example: I was told she works at RiteAid, but when I asked her about her job she said she doesn't work there, she works at a gas station. The strange thing is every time I pass the RiteAid, her car is parked out front and the last time we went together, she knew every single employee. I don't understand why she had to lie about that. It really is dumb. She also told me my Dad bought me a car, yea, that never happened.
Something that really bugged me was asking about me and Muñeca's personal matters. Like she really tried to get in depth about it and I didn't appreciate that. Worse part was, it was in public. She also gets mad at me when I don't go somewhere with her because I need to go to work. That's not my fault at all if I am scheduled. I need to make as much money as I can to pay off school loans and my phone and internet. I can't be late just because she wants me going somewhere with her. She even gave me the silent treatment after one of those days.
Now a while back I saw a note that read "pay for room and food! 100 dollars a week!" It was laying in a pile of crap in her room so I never asked about it. I just figured it was something from somewhere else because I knew she wouldn't do that to me when I can barely pay my own bills. Now a couple weeks pass and I wake up in the morning with that sign randomly thrown on my dresser. She doesn't even talk to me about it, just leaves it there. Hasn't even said a word to me when she see's me. All of a sudden she wants all this money. On an average I make around 380 a month with my job. So basically she is asking me to give her all my money. So what do I do? Am I supposed to cut off my internet, phone, and stop paying my school loan? 80 dollars of that also goes to my transportation every month, so how do I get to work?
I realize now something that I have heard before. People have said she was a greedy woman, and now she is using me. She brought me into her house, not because she wanted to help, but because she had the dollar signs in her eyes.
I really don't know what's next. I have moved so much over the past year and a half. I just something works out in my favor soon.

Love Letter of June

2010-06-03T15:32:00.003-04:00

I have decided to write a monthly love letter dedicated to the one I feel so special about. It reminds me of how when we first started dating and wrote to each other a few times. So for the first one, here goes June.

To Muñeca,
Hi babe, How are you doing at the moment? I know I could just call and ask you, but, I'm doing it this way instead. Really wish I could be seeing you today. Rita's waterice sounds so good right now. I want some blueberry so much!

Well of course this is our life and only we know what goes on in the thick of it. I understand the confusion that goes on in your young mind. It really is hard to see straight when so many people in the world let us see the evil within. The reason I have always loved you though, is you always steered clear of the things we feel are evil. I said it once, the only times I have gotten mad at you have never been about you doing wrong. They have always been about you being scared. I would try to change that, but I have now noticed that it is wrong. In order to clear your confusion and stop your fear, I just have to be like you. I have to let you know that there is not an evil bone in my body. When you look at me I want you to smile knowing I am good to you. Know that I love you. Know that you are always on my mind. Sure no one person can fight the world himself, but we don't need to fight them. Just get away. If you allow me to always be there, I'll always wake you up from the nightmares. I won't let them haunt you and I won't be the cause of your grief.
The ring forever stands for a promise. No matter if it changes or not, I'll keep it true. I will forever be yours, and I will always, without a doubt, be in love with you.

Love, Billy

Stifes of Life

2010-06-02T01:12:00.005-04:00

The other day my good friend Marvin told me this, "Early on in life, we get tests. These tests are to prove if we are able to handle the adult life ahead of us."

He told me this because of the situations that have come about in my life over the past year or so. I have been kicked out by family members and forced to move a few times, and I know that the place I lay my head at now is not permanent. I am lost to the fact of where it will be next that I will go. I wish I had the money to afford a place of my own, but 12 hours a week wont pay rent.

Throughout this whole thing, I get stressed and I have broken down and cried many times due to it. I wish the light would appear for me at the end of this long tunnel already. Every day I grow more scared. I don't want to be a failure. I want to prove all these people who doubted me wrong. I show them all respect and they have at some point stabbed me in the back. I am done being ran over. I just won't take it.

I will be successful, they will see.

The clock's ticking, I just count the hours.

Find Your Love

2010-05-21T02:14:00.002-04:00

This is the first ever time I actually liked a Drake song that didn't feature another artist.

I bet if I give all my love,
Then nothings gonna tear us apart.

I just got to stay true to the bold.

Growing Up

2010-05-20T22:41:00.003-04:00

Everyone has the point in their life when they question if what they have done so far is right. I do plenty of times. I think about it all and sometimes I can't stand myself. As a teenager, I was an asshole punk kid with no ambition. I just sat around, dropped out of school, wouldn't get a job, just didn't care. I hurt others around me to please so called friends into thinking I was cool. I would laugh about it all day, then go home and feel sad at night.
Luckily I met Muñeca, who helped me realize something more. Over time I grew so much wiser by seeing I had something to live for. I realized that what makes you happy is not having tons of friends and popularity, It's doing the things you enjoy with the people you love and care for. It's working hard to achieve goals and basking in your own glory, even if no one else cares. Become a success off your own hard work and not hoping someone will come and grant you eternal laziness.
With Muñeca by my side, I am able to show her my heart. I can show her I care, but with that comes difficulties. At times I am scared, very scared. I think that without her, I would be nothing. Just running the streets as a sad lonely man. I get scared because Muñeca is a thinker and sometimes I think she thinks of me as different. As someone who I am not. Who knows what can go on in someones brain.So many possibilities cross my mind. I try to show her as much as me as possible. But, what if she decides it isn't enough? My heart beats fast and I lose all intelligent thought. With that all stuck in side me, I begin to stress her out with questions, questions and more questions. Sometimes I am asking questions for reasons that are not even that huge. It's just if I feel Muñeca has something to say, I want to know because I want to disspell it if it's wrong.
My biggest problem is making small things, Big. I myself, am the problem. If I say I am doing right, then there is no reason to lose her. DING DONG! right? simple as that. So why am I so dumb to forget this fact when I am scared there is a problem? Well I am hoping that Writing this will put a stain in my brain and always make me remember that. I wish there was a way to incorporate it into my everyday life. That way it will be much easier to learn and reason with her.
I tell her I want the best for us, but I scare her into thinking that I may mess things up. I'm sorry my love. I promise to you and anybody who cares in the world, I will grow up. I will learn the lesson of reasoning with you. I will realize that we have a bond that is true and I will stop being afraid of losing you.

When you are ready, CMML
No text please
I love you, goodnight.

Dream Home Pt. 2

2010-05-13T23:27:00.003-04:00

Continued from Dream Home Pt. 1

So in the last entry I got to talk about the living room, kitchen and backyard that would be perfect for Muñeca and I. So, with this post I will talk about the room that she will spend most of her time in, the bathroom. Also will be finishing up and including the bedroom and the game room.

For the bathroom, it was hard to find pictures on the web of good examples. My main focus is a white bathroom, because whit mostly represents cleanliness. I would love for the tub to be extra big, so that it is easier to relax after a long day of work. Bathroom should be a good size, since I hate being cramped up. Touch up the room with a plant or to maybe, lol, It is kind of a boring room.

Now, for where the magic happens, as they say on MTV cribs.
The bedroom must be able to accommodate two people with a lot of clothes. This will mean two big closets for each of us, and I hope that is enough. Our room is the most personal of all in the house, so, it is where we will keep the objects that mean more to us at. The pictures around will be less artsy and decorative and more for us. You know, like pictures of us as kids or special people in our life who may have passed.
Obviously, we need a mirror. Muñeca does not pass by a mirror without looking at her self in it. We need one of them big dressers with the big mirrors on top, that way, she can keep all her girly needs neat and organized on the top and I can keep my toothbrush neat and organized there as well. (I never leave my toothbrush in the bathroom, I have met strange people who steal them and clean sneakers)
The bed, ahh yes the bed, needs to be big. with some big ass pillows along with a big ass blanket. I am a small fellow, but I always wanted to sleep in a giants bed. Hook the room up with a medium sized TV and we are good to go.

Now the ultimate dream. Wives, I am sure all your husbands either have one or want one. The game room. The place where you sit on the manly chair, grab the controller and turn the power on. The game room will be the spot where all of my video game tournaments happen. Also, we can't forget this is the spot where the Superbowl party is thrown. This room needs to fit a good amount of people at a time. That is why we will most likely have this in the basement. It may take a while to fix up the way I envision, but I got patience. First of all, no carpet. I can not trust any friends of mind not spilling a drink on to my floor and staining the rug. Maybe a few area rugs, which are easily replaceable. For the walls, I already started my collection of awesome posters to be framed and put up. I want it to be that, no matter which direction you look, there is something interesting to see.
The main attraction, after the game area of course, will be the collection case. As you know, Muñeca and I collect a few things that we find valuable, and we plan on keeping them safe and having a rightful place for these items.

This is what I had in mind.

A beautiful glass case that can be home to all the figures and collectibles we own. I want each section to look like a scene, not just thrown in and placed anywhere. When it is finished, people will look at our collections in amazement instead of just seeing it as a hobby. We put hard work into finding some of these items we get. I can't wait to have this.

Also, I want to cut out a part of the basement and make it into a photo studio. This way we can get a business straight from home up and running. A good place for anybody looking for a photoshoot to come in get the pictures real quick and be ready to go. This will need great lighting among other things. I have it all in my head, just got to get it out and make it happen.

So nice house huh? Well one day I will love to make a video and post it here to show what I can accomplish. Wish me luck

Pokemon Dvd Collection

2010-05-08T12:40:00.008-04:00

So being someone who likes to collect things, I've decided to start collecting a few different series of TV shows. I am going to create a checklist for each collection I begin so I can help myself pay attention to which volumes I am in need of still.
First two I am starting off with is the Pokemon Collection and South Park collection.

This post will be all about the Pokemon collection. I will put an X next to eachone as I get it. This collection will take quite some time to complete since there is many Dvd's in it.

If anybody has any old Dvd's from this collection and have no need for it anymore and would be willing to part with it, Email me at illwill.newera23@gmail.com.

Dream Home Pt. 1

2010-05-05T17:03:00.009-04:00

So a few days ago I stated I was going to post about the perfect home for Muñeca and I. Well,Things got kind of busy afterward so I wasn't able to do so. But, now that I just got suspended without pay from my job, for not signing a paper, I have the time.
On the suspension though, that paper is an important paper, It just slipped my mind and I left without signing it which led to these consequences.

Now to the point.
We talk a lot about things that would make our home have our special feel to it. We are both creative and we should show that off in the way we present our home. I do feel every room should be decorated in it's own way. Also, since we both enjoy taking pictures, I do see us having many of our own photos hung up all around the house.

Starting with the Living Room, which is the main area that visitors will be. I always wanted one of these type of couches that curve into a different angle. You can see one in this picture that I found towards the back.
It would be better to be a little bigger then that, since that one looks kind of uncomfortable. This is a nice living room, but I would like one with more space since it could be filled up at times due to Muñeca and I being Puertorican and having huge families due to it. We will also use this room as the main movie room, so we will need a huge TV for that purpose. We already have a nice collection of DVD's and so I want to get us one of those big DVD towers so that we can organize them in alphabetical order. I always thought that was real nice. I think the colors of the room should be darker with the shades that keep the sun from filling the room with light. That will help keep that stupid glare away that always get's in the way when you are watching TV. Then have black furniture around with a nice brown or burgundy carpet. Finish the room off with nice pictures around the wall and that sounds like a wrap on the living room.

Next up, the kitchen.
Kitchen is simple, all we need is enough room to be able to prepare and cook everything we need. Here is a great example of a nice looking kitchen.

Now other then that small refrigerator, that looks perfect. towards the other side of the kitchen we will have a nice big table to prepare the food. Also big enough to have space for tons of food when we have 4th of July cookouts or Thanksgivng dinners with the Family.

Now it would be great to have a good sized backyard, so we can also enjoy a nice time outside. We could bring a few of those nice outdoor tables with the umbrellas on top and also get one of those play sets with the slide and swings for any kids who visits. I always wanted one of those as a kid. I like this setup here for the outdoor cookouts.

I had no idea I would be writing so much on this subject. I don't want it to be to long so I am going to break it down. I will look for other pics and examples for the rest of the rooms to come. Including, our bathroom, bedroom (ohh la la) and the worlds greatest game room!

See ya soon!

Note To Muñeca

2010-05-04T13:57:00.002-04:00

I love you, due to the fact that I read into the words that I hear come out your mouth, and with complete understanding of how to comprehend, I recognize sincerity and justice. Those two traits are not present in 99% of the people that we will ever meet. It is the downfall of the world that greed, envy and jealousy will overcome all. Some will never admit a single wrong doing, but believe me, in the end they will feel the pain of their faults. I to wish that I could cope with some people in my life, but when the smoke clears, your the one who is standing there.

Yes God gives us a choice but he also trusts in us to live biblical. He knows we will do wrong, it's human nature. What he expects of us is to be apologetic and prove you can change what you done wrong. If we just keep Lying, cheating, stealing or any other evil trait that you feel need for, God will stop trusting us. If any one else decides to read this, think within yourself, are you being true? The people who aren't will feel a sting inside their heart and their brain will be filled with the thoughts of the things they have done wrong and do not try to fix. When you feel that feeling, then it is your CHOICE to continue on with the life of lies, or if you will come forward and prove yourself to want to be a true person.

How's Billy?

Just got done working for the last 10 out of 11 days. I have been exhausted and dealing with pains all over. This job isn't doing good things for my back. At times I feel a burning type feeling back there, and I know that isn't good. Not only that, now I have to deal with my manager "not liking the way I do things." I could just be a smart ass and tell her, I don't like the way she does things, but I am smarter then that, so I chill and just get work done, clock out, and head home.
I am waiting and praying that this other job that I applied for calls me. It's at a nursing home and It's full time. Getting that job would help me in so many ways. First thing is obviously I will have more money. So that means, I will actually be able to afford a place of my own and quit living under other people's roofs. Also, it means I can take Muñeca out of the stress filled home she is in now. Then I can really start putting a dent in the debt that I am in due to school and my mother. I owe a 200 dollar Comcast cable bill for TV that I never watched, due to my mom putting it under my name and me agreeing it to like a jackass when I was 18. I had no idea her boyfriend would start ordering WWE events like there was no tomorrow. So yea I have to deal with that, cause believe me, no one else will. Then The school cost is a Little over 6000 that I still owe. I pay 75 every month, but I wanna get that out of the way already so I want to start paying more every time. So, those are my main reasons why I have to hurry and find a better and higher paying job.
Of course I know that when I get my place for Muñeca and I, It won't be no dream place. But, it will give us that comfortable state of mind that we need to succeed. Then we can finally focus on our own lives without the constant problems that we have been facing with others. We can take that time to save our money, pay any debt, and further any education and work experience that we see fit. With that, I can see us being ready to move on up by our late twenty's. It takes time and it takes hard work, but as long as we got each others backs, we can get that dream house!
I just motivated myself to talk about the home we always talk about and share it with the world, but I'll save that for tomorrow so check back in.

Anyway, I'll be spending my day off playing Smash Bros, washing some clothes, and hoping that my phone rings with that job opportunity.

How's your life been as of late?

Pokemon Type Wild

2010-04-22T15:45:00.003-04:00

I found this yesterday and was amazed! Some genius out there created this downloadable game called "Pokemon Type Wild." It's a fighting game that features a few Pokemon duking it out. As you can see in the video's, the Graphics are like an arcade game and look beautiful. I wish this was a real game for the Wii so bad. My computer sucks so I can't download this, but one day I defiantly want to test this out. Also if anybody knows the best way to download, leave it in a comment so I know how to when I get the chance. Other then that, I don't know much info, I believe there are 8 characters, correct me if I mistaken, and they include,
-Blaziken
-Snorlax
-Lucario
-Combusken
-Gardevoir
-Breloom
-Swalot
-Gengar

so check out the videos and if you want any more info you can google "Pokemon Type Wild." It helps to be able to read Japanese, since a lot of the sites are in Japanese.

I love this stage because Ash and company are in the back

I guess this is like a mirror match, in which you face Ditto.

Swalot is actually the final boss in the game

Looks awesome right?

Phung Ho, November 5, 2009

2010-04-22T14:15:00.011-04:00

As I said before, I would like to show off some pictures that I took before. Here I will show you some that I took of my friend at Penn Treaty Park in Philadelphia. It was a cloudy and rainy day, so, the lighting was horrible. I still managed to get some okay pics taken. Phung was kind of nervous and didn't know what to do, but, I asked him to be the subject because I felt he could be enthusiastic. Some people just stand there and expect you to do all the work, but the subject has to work too, and Phung did a good job.

Here are just a few.

He said this one would be "gangsta" lmao

So, how did I do for one of my first times taking pictures of someone other then Muñeca? I had more, but the lighting was so horrible on them.

Soul Silver Friend Code

2010-04-20T09:52:00.002-04:00

Finally I am able to take my DS online, since my internet connection is now wireless.
I am now able to battle and trade using my soul silver if anybody is interested.

Here's my friend code:
4340 5174 7136
And my character's name is Billy of course.

Comment back with your codes and we can can set up times to link up.

On the other hand, I just got into the whole EV training thing. I'm mad I didn't know about it until now because I already have high leveled versions of my favorites. If anybody is not sure what EV training is, I am looking into making a guide to help anybody out there with questions so stay tuned, I will have it up in the next week or so.
