Halloween Horror Nights

          

  This weekend was perfect to get into the halloween spirit. I finally go to go to halloween horror nights at Universal Studios. In the beginning didn't really feel like going, because I was too scared to go. I had gone a couple of years ago but I didn't think I'd be brave enough to go. Finally my friends Nancy, Fanny, and Erwin convinced me to go. I was so anxious, when we finally got there I was wondering if it was going to be the same or if it was going to be very differnt from last time. Then my friend was telling me that they had added like 3 new mazes. I had heard on the radio about the new La llorona maze and I especially did not want to go there.Which is about a woman who drowned her own kids in a river, and then she killed herself and since then her ghosts weeps for her children. When we got there the first place we went to was the scream ride. We had to go on that little train, then after it dropped us off at this like big yard where we had to careful where we walked by because scream would pop out of everywhere. They only  scared me like twice so it wasn't so bad. Towards the end of it I was thinking that all that panick was such a waist because it ended up not being that scary. Wow I seriously had to relax. So I decided to just go in another once since I was feeling so brave, the second maze  was the House of Horrors was frightening I dont think I could go in there again. We went in there and all sorts of things popped out. Like there was a moment when chuckie popped out the side of the floor. Then after like this ugly warewolf thing came out of a tree and I ran screaming from it. At one point I thought I was  going to cry but  I  knew I had to suck it in. Especially after I saw a boy that was about 13 years old walking around like if nothing was happening. At the end of the maze I just walked with my friends with my eyes closed. The third maze we went to was the Llorona one. I begged my friends not to go on it but they didn't listen. We waited like 50 minutes on it because there was so much people. At the beginning of the maze,the setting was a church and there was these ugly women sitting on the pews crying. As we kept walking it began getting darker and these ugly monsters would try to grab you from the sides. In my head I was thinking, not to look so scared because the more frightened I looked the more times they would try to scare me. I can seriously say I'm a chicken because I screamed through out most of the maze. When we finally got out of it my friends made so much fun of me because they said i was the one screaming the loudest.  I was kind of happy when i looked at the time and it was already 1:30 a.m because the whole thing was going to end at 2:00. So i was like yayyy no more getting scared. So the last ride we decided to go on was the Simpsons ride. Unfortunately while were walking towards the ride this ugly looking clown with a chainsaw chased me, i was so angry that i yelled something really bad (profanity). We finally went on the Simpsons ride and i can honestly say it was my favorite. No scaring or anything and it kind of felt like i was in an actuall roller coaster. Even though it was a night full of scare i cant deny the fact that i had so much fun. I think Im defintitely going to do that again but maybe at another park(:.

Reckless Driving

   This friday morning i was driving to go pick up my friend Nancy, so we could run some errands. As i was getting the 118 freeway on San Fernando road, i remembered what i call my "near death experience". Theres moments in a persons life that you do not even want to rememember well this ones one of mine. Sometimes just thinking of it makes me feel depressed. Well when i think of the car accident i was involved in it just makes me feel terrible.

   The precise date was Friday December 03, 2010 and i was going to go run errands with my friend Nancy. It was a really cold morning and it had started to rain. The weather alone should have been a sign of a bad omen but i still decided to go. So while i was grabbing the 118 freeway on San Fernando road, I made a fast turn and lost control of the wheel. I guess the truck lost control because of the wet road and i fell into a ditch. I honestly do not remember most of it because it all just happened so fast. All i remember was opening my eyes and trying to get out the truck because i was just so scared. This man came to help me get out of the truck. He helped me get my purse from the car and told me to call 911. I was so lost my hands were shaking and i did not know what to do. I kept blabbering and crying, until i finally called my mom. She got there way faster than the paramedics, like in almost five minutes since her work is so close  by there. When i got to the hospital the doctor told me i only had a really bad cut on my arm and a few bumps and bruises but they would heal. In that precise moment i realized how lucky i was to have survived through that whole ordeal. Since that whole accident happened i try not to be a reckeless driver and im super careful on the road now. Im so grateful that im here today and it tought me not to take things for granted.



It is the second week of school and im already feeling so tired. I had so much homework this weekend and plus I had to study for my math test. Theres not much I can do about it but suck it in and do all the things im supposed to. I am what u can consider a procastinator but thats a habbit I want to get rid off. I promised myself that this semester I would not leave anything for the last minute. I finished most of my work on thursday and now I was finally kind of excited for the weekend. I went to work on friday and was so tired after that I finally just decided to stay in and I watched the movie The Pianist. The Pianist is based on the autobiography of Wladyslaw Szpilman, a famous polish pianist who survived all the abuse and torture brought by the Germans during World War II. At one point I almost wanted to cry, its just so crazy what so much hate and ignorance can do to people. The entire nation torn apart just because of one mans hate. My mother commented on the movie and said he must of been pretty powerful to do something so horrendous. Like I told her, there was also some Germans that tried to help out the Jews but it was pretty difficult. If you were caught helping them in some way u would automatically be killed and also you would risk your familys well being. It is just so appaling to think of all the hostility going around just because of someones race.

On Saturday I was so excited to see my friends I hadnt seen any of them for days. I was so used to during the summer seeing them almost everyday. It sometimes felt like we lived over each others houses. We used to go out almost every weekend. We all went to my friends Ashleys house and we were supposed to just have a regular movie night. Instead we all got ready and went to a club, it was pretty fun. After we stopped by Jack n the Box and got our grub on. I seriously felt like i ate so much, i promised myself i would not do that again. Im using Sunday as my resting day, hopefully i can study some more for my math test and i think i have a quiz on psychology so now i have to read the book again, yay how fun.
