At last i have a moment to rest lol. Yup its been a long two week guys, barely my first day off since coming back from LA been working a lot. Yup, I went to meet Estephany someone i met in FFXI.
Was it a nervous experience? hellz yah lol. I went to visit my family in LA too but sadly didn't have enough time to see them all. But they were nice people they knew since the beginning i was going to meet a friend, and their hospitality was generous that i feel indebted to them. My mom was telling me all about my family ever since i met Estephany...its weird...i tell her i met a friend in LA, and she points out that i got family in LA too. I never really understood my family ties but now i know...she explained it all to me which i would like to write them down to not forget myself.
It turns out my real grandma was a spunky and controlling woman when she was young. At her early age, she fell in love with a travelling Boxer champion. My mom says he was tall and fit (FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYY i know where my height comes from and that im not adopted or something) Well it turns out my grandma didnt like the idea of him travelling around, she wanted to get married with him like now to be able to have him. But well my grandpa didnt want to yet, he wanted to travel all over Mexico to box throughout the country. But my grandma had her way somehow, and got pregnant from the guy and i think she felt that with that she will have him forever. Well that child was my mom o.o. Sadly a few years passed and my grandpa had not returned, and my grandma was stuck taking care of a baby with no guy support. She decided for herself and daughter, it was time to move on. She wound up marrying another guy (my present grandpa..well my moms stepdad to be exact) my grandma had a ton load of kids with the guy O.o and well he supported them all...however my mom said the new dad was a very violent one. But my grandma felt it was too late for her, that shes had all these kids and if he seperates from the guy she wont have money to raise everyone. So then it was like my grandmas fate was sealed, and they continued their lives.
My real grandpa came back to the little village of Valadeces one day. The poor guy returned after years of boxing ready to come back to the woman he got pregnant. But alas when he got back he learned she had already made her life with another man. My grandpa being good natured, did not want to start any trouble, he left without talking with any of them (my mom or grandma) and instead decided to make his life in another place, another country, LA california. And to this present day all family i have in mexico and california are half family so they are all equal in blood to me. But well my mom didnt know she had another dad until one fateful day in her late teens, that my grandpas brother came to the little village in Mexico, and confronted my mom. He told her everything, and my mom was asking why he told her all that. The guy said he didnt want someone that was from his blood to suffer and be poor. My mom was in shock of the news and went to talk to her mom, which she confirmed everything to be true. My grandma told my mom if she wanted to she can make her life with the other family. My mom replied back that yes she was curious, but she was raised by her and she wont abandon her no matter what. My mom spend a few months to get to know her other family. She went to LA when she was in her early 20s. She met everyone and noone treated her badly, they treated her with respect. But regardless, she had to leave to come back. Which she did.
Well whew that was a long story lol. Basically when i met my family they were very nice people but unfortunately i wasnt able to see my real grandpa ( he was in Vegas gambling for the weekend O.o) But yah they really did talk alot about me when i was gone. My cousins all wanted to meet Estephany but well..it was really early i felt for her to just come and see them so i tried to change the subject a lot.
Estephany is unique...shes been through a lot. But i think in some way i identify with her even though i have not gone through what shes been through. We really did enjoy our time together, even though it was a very active and tiring 6 days. She came to meet me in airport i thought it was real nice. I met her mom and brother there. Somehow i felt her family were good people, and i think and hope they felt the same way about me. They were really friendly and asked a lot of questions lol (even though i thought it was cute a lot of times estephany was the quite one) But well, that first day was really eventful and talkative and tiring. i learned the bus systems fast. i was able to come back on my own by the 3rd day (2nd day estephany and her mom really helped me out) the first day on thursday was just finding out about going home lol. on friday we went to the science museum. it was so kick ass lol. best museum ive ever seen. Saturday hmm..we went to the Santa Monica Piere. was so fun and the rides were awesome and the scenery aamzing. Played some air hockey with her and lost *head down in shame* lol it was all good times though. Im a good sportsman lol. Well after that, on sunday i had already planned to go to her Church On The Way right in Hollywood. I wanted to go to her church as a sign of respect. It was a good experience. Afterwards we went to City Walk in Universal Studios. Took lots of pics even though i was super dead nervous in all of them. Estephany had on a gorgeous black dress and her hair was in a bun behind her. And she had on the Onyx stone necklace, wrist, and earrings combination. Looked so beautiful lol >.< We played Air Hockey again in city walk we were dressed all formal lol. she still won X.x (gah i need to train in my air hockey skills) Well after a long day we went to eat awesome Chinese food. It was still a awesome experience. Sunday was a real long day lol. Monday well i walked through hollywood boulevard a bit. saw a few stores. then went back to city walk and watched movies, ate some great food, shopped around, and bowling! It was a cool day all around. Tuesday my last day, i went to see her in her school. it was a cool place. And she can get out of her class fast if she wants to lol. then we went to go eat at a taco place was good too. then estephany and her mom were super nice enough to escort me back to LAX the airport for my trip back. Well i thought it was gonna be a long week but it sadly passed by really fast. The memories will be unforgivable for me and yes i would go to LA in a heartbeat again just to see her again. it was such a fun time. Well were in the talking stage of her coming here but well we'll see how that works out we spend a good deal of time talking of me going there in first place ill see how that works out.
I just feel lucky i met such a awesome person and honored to be her friend. I wish her nothing but good will and cheer her on in her goals and respect her ideals.
I on the other hand have a lot to work on myself..but well keeping my chin up and just gonna try whats reasonable....i know i need to work out sigh..if anyones got tips on that would be great..forgot everything about PE *cry*
Take care everyone and thanks if you read this all the way through.
