Wow! What a weekend!
Well this was a pretty productive weekend for such an inproductive week. For the first time in a lot of time I was able to slack off this week. Go to bed at 3, wake up at 11, play video games and chat on the net. No, I still haven't gone as far as watching TV though. :P Friday I went to see White Noise with Stefi, Beaky and Arelis. I didn't really like it. It had lots of potential, but it really dissapointed me. First, I wasn't scared at all. Second, the beggining was really slow, and when it was starting to et interesting and the plot was making sense, the ending killed it. The enemy is never clearly stated, the storyline went haywire, bleh. I dunno. I just didn't like it. There were way to many gaps and loopholes in the storyline, and when the story doesn't make any sense or leaves you genuiely intrigue, I don't find it a good suspense/horror movie. Whatever.
Anyway, after the movie we had our little baking party. We made brownies and cookies, and they were both very good. We ate while we watched the Secret Life of David Gale, which was a really good movie. After that I had to fly home because I had to pick up my brother at one of his friends' house. I'm gonna miss you Arelis! And we'll take your portable self everywhere with us! Don't worry, you wont miss a thing! :P
Next two days were going to be really hectic. Saturday I spent the morning cleaning, doing laundry, shit like that. In the afternoon, like at 5, Ivan and Eric came to pick me up so we could go to Felix's rock star modeling presentation. It was in Ponce, in this really cool Argentinian restaurant. Felix's clothes were really cool, and there were a few other candidates that also had cool clothes. Sadly Felix didn't win anything, but we were pissed off because the jury sucked and they didn't have any idea what they were doing. In between the best 3 candidates from where they choose the winner was a guy that looked and walked just like a freaking girl. Oh well. The real competition is what matters anyhow, and I'm sure Felix will succeed there. ;)
After the activity ended (Eric, Ivan and I had eaten yummy food in the meantime) we all went hotel hunting, cause it was like 11 and we weren't about to go home at that hour. So we found this cute little hotel in Ponce, the Belgica, right near the Plaza. It was nice and cozy and comfy, and only for 75$ the night for 4 people. Before going to bed we walked around the Plaza of Ponce and then we went to La Guancha, where sadly the tide was low and there weren't any huge fishies to feed. :( But we did have an awesome time at the playground where they had the coolest stuff to play with. I was wearing a skirt, but still I managed to join in on the fun. :P After that, we were dead tired and Ivan was very sick, we had to stop at a Walgreens to get some medicine and cough drops. Oh, we also got lost in Ponce several times and a guard stopped us because Felix had gone against the traffic in a one way street. He let us go though when we explained we were out of town. So we went to bed like at 4 in the morning and we got up at noon. We quickly got ready and out of the room and checked out. We went to El Meson for breakfast and then aaall the way to Aguadilla, to the Ice Skating rink. We got there like at 3:30 because we got lost like 3 times. It's not that guys don't ask for directions, it's that the directions were always wrong! People in this country have no freaking idea how to give directions, they SUCK! They point left and tell you to go right, people in this country are so freaking ignorant and inarticulate. It makes me so angry. Oh well. We eventually got there after asking 5 different people. The place is AWESOME. It's right in front of the beach, and brand new. The building is sooo cool! They're still constructing a few things, right now all it has is the skating ring, a chinese restaurant and a pizza restaurant, a boxing room and a gym. Eventually they are going to add in an arcade and a disco. So this is how it works. They let you in to skate in turns, every two hours its a different turn. You buy tickets for that turn and you get to skate for an hour in a half. You pay 10$, unless you want to go to the evening turns, where there are cool lights and disco music. We got there in time for the 4 o'clock turn, but it was full, and the eariest one available with vacancy was the 8 o'clock one. so we had to wait until 7:15 to pick up our skates, and it was 3:30! We decided to go to Crash Boat to kill time.
So we went to Crash Boat, and Eric and I were the only ones with bathing suits. Eric lent Felix his suit and we both swam in the beach, we jumped from the pier, we went to a cave, played in the sand, it was lots of fun, we even saw the pretty sunset. After that, I showered and got dressed and we went to the skating rink again. We still had 2 more hours until 8, so we toured the place and ate some pizza. Then we got our skates on and away we went!
Ok, I knew I was going to sucl at this because I never roller bladed in my life, and its pretty much teh same thing. I went ice skating once when I was 6, so that pretty much says it all. Anyway, I was holding on to Eric's hand like my life depended on it. I had Ivan on one side and Eric on the other. I had no balance at all, and I just couldn't move! Eventually I got the nag of it, and I was moving pretty fast and had balance, but only if I was holding someone's hand. I evetually was able to skate alone, but I felt to scares, insecure and helpless and I would eventually panic and head straight for the wall. So basically I spent the entire hour in a half skating attached to Eric's hand. :P Felix was skating around like a pro, and Ivan had to get out a few times because he was sick and the cold air was making him worse. Oh, Eric and I were the only ones in our group that actually fell. We fell only once though, and I hit my knees really hard! What happened was that I lost balance and I got it again, but trying to stop to grab me Eric lost his balance and fell and I fell with him. Hehe. It was actually kind of funny. But there were people there that REALLY fell and HARD! Head first, the entire body belly down SLAP onto the ice. Ouch. They have a really good control crew in there though they tell you where and how to skate and they try to grab you if you're falling and they carry you out if you hurt yourself. I was pissed at one of them though cause he was always telling Eric to let go of me. Ass. Anyhow, we finished at 9:30, and began the drive back. I was teh designated driver this time because everybody else was tired. And so we drove back home and that was it. IT was a really cool and tyring weekend. We all have to go back some time, the whole group! It was really cool.
Oh! Last night I had the funniest dream. I dreamt Fabi was over here and she was about to leave, and as a going away thing we took her shoe shopping. Stefi, Arelis, Beaky, and even Vanessa were there. So we took Fabi to this cool boutique where they sold extremely weird shoes. She even tried on those weird wooden shoes that they use in Holland. We were frustrated because she couldn't decide on a pair already and after the shoe shopping we were having a big bash. Eventually she bought these thigh highkhaki colored boots. :P Hehehe. It was so funny.
Oh well, I hope that everybody is doing ok. Take care everyone.
Well I hope everyone had fun this weekend, take care.
