it was on a Friday when I asked her to be my girlfriend, and we had only been talking for about two weeks. I really liked her, like no other girl I have ever had feelings for. We were inseparable, I would speak to her about everything, she would speak to me about everything as well. I would hang out with her on some old dirty stairs in one of the school buildings, and it was there where I first kissed her, on my birthday to be exact. I don’t like using the “L” word, because I have never really “Loved” a girl, but something was different about her, I actually had feelings for her. It was different from other girls I had dated, I didn’t just want to fool around with her, I actually liked her. We went to the movies once, and that is where I found out I had feelings for her. We kissed for most of the movie, and I ended up having to rent the movie to recall what it was about, becuase I didn’t even pay attention. I was too busy thinking about how much I liked this girl. As we progressed, we drifted apart, until one day, I decided to end it. The situation was bad, and every day got more and more difficult for me, I just wasn’t used to not having her in my daily routine. As time progressed, I started forgetting about her, but then one day, she decided to call me, and once again, I was stuck to her like a piece of old gum. Still to this day, I love this girl, and she claims she likes me as well. We still talk and I still tell her I like her, She does the same. But we are not dating, she is just my “friend”. Everyone tells me I should just move on, but that is easier said than done. I just want to be with her, but that is also easier said than done. I want her to know that I love her, and I really want to go back to the good ol’ days where everything was great between us, and from the looks of it right now, we are heading in the right direction. I really hope everything proceeds as I wanted to…
Today, May 22, 2010, one of the most respected soccer teams won the champions league title, that team is Inter Milan. Inter Milan is my favorite soccer team, and I cannot explain the joy I felt as I watched the game and saw Diego Milito score the 2 goals that won them the title. I am full of joy at the moment, and the only way I could share it was by blogging about it. I have this intense love for the sport of soccer, and an even more intense love for Inter Milan. This team is one of my inspirations, all of the games I’ve watched and all of the players of Inter Milan inspire me to become a better soccer player myself. Another man that has inspired me is Jose Mourinho, the manager of the team, who led them to the final and won 3 titles with Inter this year ( Serie A, Coppa Italia, and Champions League). Even though I am not Italian, I have this love for the team that I cannot explain, it’s just this feeling of immense joy. I know I probably don’t have the same connection as a local person might have, but I still wear the colors with pride, and I still show off the great shield of Internazionale Milano.
CONGRATULATIONS,
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2010 : INTERNAZIONALE MILANO
for the past 4 days, I have not been able to blog, or get on the internet for that matter. The reason was because me and my family ( my DSA family that is ) went on a camping trip to Big Basin State Park, and it was just, amazing. I feel so replenished, so energized, like if I have just shed my old skin and now I am a new person. The wilderness really calmed and renewed me as well as my feelings, and I am so glad I experienced the wilderness with my family and friends. I truly bonded with so many people, some of which I never really talked to. Even though this trip only lasted 4 days, I enjoyed every little moment of it, and I am very excited to be back and talk about my experiences. If you have never gone camping, I advise you go with the people closest to you, because it only makes the trip that much better!

Since January, we DSA students have been working on a new project. We have been set into groups, and in these groups, we are suppose to make a set of documentaries focusing on our school and the diverse culture that is ignored everyday . My partners and I have officially finished the first part, and even though it came with some pressure, the video was finished on time. I want to thank my partners Chelsea, Leylani, and Maria for being great partners. This video would not have been finished if it weren’t for them. Thanks you guys, and I hope you enjoy this video.
P.S : make sure you check out the rest of the DSA videos made by my fellow classmates, I’m sure you will enjoy them just as much as this video… THANKS!!
I am 2 months away from finishing my junior year at Mt. Diablo, I am going to be a senor soon…. so… how’s life you ask? I gotta tell you, I am starting to feel the pressure. What pressure you say? well, the “real life” pressure. I am starting to ask myself: ” what are you going to do when you graduate? are you going to college? how far will you make it?” I am feeling the “pressure” of real life, and I gotta tell you, it is scaring me. Another issue I can’t get out my head is my friends. Will I ever see them again? who am I going to miss the most? who will I never see again? I want to keep in touch with everyone, but I know that will not be the case. Even my teachers in DSA (Digital Safari Academy) , will they still be there? I want to make my family proud, and to do that, I have to be successful. But what if I F*** up, what if i don’t make it to college? maybe I’m just thinking about it too much. so to answer your question… how’s life? I’m enjoying every minute of it right now, because I don’t know if I’m g0ing to enjoy it later on… so how about you………
How’s life?

On Thursday, April 15, DSA took a trip to a great school here in California. SF State was great and it really inspired me to try harder in school. I enjoyed the tour from beginning to end, but what I enjoyed most was hangin out with my buddy Daniel. He made the trip a walk in the fluffy clouds of heaven’s pearly gates where angels roam free and play lots of soccer (never mind… that’s just weird…) but anyways, he made the trip 10 times better. I missed having fun days like those, because right now its just work + work = more work. This day was not only a break from school, it also helped me think about the future, and I gotta tell you, I’m hoping I make the right decisions so that my future is secure and healthy.
We’re gonna miss you Cris, I regret not getting to to know you more, but those “good morning Cris” and that ” Morning, Eric” response you always gave me is something that I will remember you for the rest of my life. Hope you’re in a better place man, Me and all of your brothers and sisters in DSA will miss you.

I don’t think that there is anyone in this lovely Earth who enjoys break ups. The feeling of losing someone you have shared deep moments with, it is a horrible feeling. Personally, I suck at dealing with break ups. There is no ”real” way or “good” way of dealing with them, because sometimes they are unexpected, or maybe you are just not ready to let that one person go. The best thing to do is to just move on. For me personally, thinking about my age really helps me deal with break ups. I am only 17, and saying to myself ” you know what, you are young, you will find the right person soon, i mean, you are only 17″ really helps me cope with these tough situations. Sigh, what else can I do… Then again, being single is amazing for me, I don’t mind it one bit. Mama bear is single again, Yaaaaayyyyyy!!!!!!!!

Here is my photoessay for the DSA. This was one of the most satisfying projects that I have done for DSA, because everything that I put onto here is really me, Mama Bear! IDentity was such an awesome project, I can’t think of any flaws that the project had. anyways, here is my photo essay, I hope you enjoy! here is the link to ” THE REAL MAMA BEAR”
Here is a link to my identity, a project for DSA that was a great experience. The whole purpose of IDentity was to explore ourselves and find out who we really are. This was an amazing experience because I don’t really think about this kind of stuff, and to finally as myself who I really am, well, It’s a good feeling. I performed on stage, even though I was really nervous, I am proud of myself for being one of the few who performed. I am also proud of my work, because I feel like the person who I showed on my video is the person who I really am.
