The way my fiancé and I met

           My fiancé and I met in a incredible way. I met him through one of his cousins who I'd already known since my childhood. One day, I was video-chatting with my fiancé's cousin through "MSN"
messenger, which was an old fashioned chat style. My fiancé was at his cousin's house
on  the day we started to video-chat. His cousin introduced him to me. I was really shy and nervous. Then, his cousin left us on the computer in order for us to have a quite private conversation, and
introduce ourselves to each other. Afterwards, we were in a really romantic conversation without any notice. Neither of us took  notice of how much we were starting to like to each other. I need to be honest. I felt an instant attraction to him, and he did as well. He for sure asked me a lot of questions, and vice-versa. Everything he was saying to me made him seem the most perfect man all over the world. Every word, smile, detail, and phrase made me fall in love with him. During the conversation I  started to have those butterflies feelings for him. I couldn't handle either my emotions or nerves. For me he was extremely handsome and his qualities were what made him seem even more gorgeous. I knew he was trying to flirt with me, so I didn't want to show him all my feelings I was starting to feel for him, not at the beginning. We spent all day long talking and video-chatting. We simply were starting to fall in love with each other. It seemed a love from first sight. I'd never believed in "love from first sight" until I met him.



After a long day talking and video-chatting, he finally asked me for my cell-phone number. I really was waiting for such a question. I finally did give him my phone number, and as soon as we finished
talking, he called me right away.  I didn't even know who was it, so I picked up the call and say "hello". He responded saying "hey what's the most beautiful princess in the world up to right now?" No words came out of my mouth. I was shocked and speechless. I wasn't expecting such a magnificent moment. Afterwards, I couldn't even speak. Then, he was saying "hello" too many times
because of my silence. Obviously, I was staying quite for awhile. The impact was really surprising.
He really amazed me by calling me right after we'd talked. After  such an action, I clearly could see how interested he was  on me by then. Thereafter, we spent all night talking on the phone. His
cousin never came back to the computer spot when we finished talking. He just left us alone.
Next day, he texted me saying a bunch of beautiful words. Definitely, my feeling toward him was
growing each second and minute even more and more. I've never ever felt some type of way before.
This crush was driving me crazy. Everybody who knew me could tell that I was extremely in love
with somebody. My happiness and joys were written on my face.


After a couple of months, we started dating. Everything seemed to go well so far. Then after a short
time, I introduced him to my family. From the beginning of our relationship, all of my family liked
him. They all told me that I'd found the right man. Certainly made me feel the luckiest woman in the
world. Shortly after, he asked me when I'll be able to go to Dominican Republic so we could mett each other.
At the moment he came out with this, I was feeling really down because I didn't have any idea when
I'd be able to go. Having a distance relationship is pretty tough. Not everybody would resist it. Then,I
couldn't wait anymore to meet and see him so I decided to go as soon as the school year finished. Before this happened, we lasted a year and six months away, just talking on the phone and video-chatting. It was a pretty horrible situation. Then, we finally met each other. He went to the airport with one of my oldest aunts from my mother side family. When I finally arrived to the airport and came out of the customs, I started to feel so nerveous that I was feeling my legs shaking so fast. 
Then , I was walking down to the waiting area wondering if he'd already saw me. My nerves were
getting so attached to my feelings so much that I didn't know what was I feeling at the moment. He
definitely saw me first. From far away I reached to see him. "O.M.G." was the only three letters and
one word that was popping up my head. I felt like if I was melting. Then, bit by bit we were getting
close. At the moment, he said hi to me, I was literally dying and melting away. At first when I saw him , I just wanted to hug so tight , and kiss him . It had been so long talking to him without meeting him in person. His eyes were sparkling like the starts do the night. And I also felt my heart coming out of my chest. No words could exactly describe how happy did I felt in such a moment. This day has been the most wonderful and happy day that I've ever had. He was and still is my first love.


After an incredible day, we started to meet up everyday. I went on vacations for twenty-eight days.I had enough time in order to meet him and his family as well which was an appropiate. We hung out in  many beautiful places. He also took me to meet his family. This trip had completely changed my life. Being his girlfriend had taught me to be stronger and grow as a human being. Likewise, it has made me feel complete and see the world from another perspective. He has taught me,no matter how far away we are from our beloved ones, our heart will always be connected to  that person, and feelings will never change.

My first Six Flags's Trip

          In the  Summer of 2011, I went on a trip to Six Flags. It was my first time going. The day was looking nice and sunny when I looked out the window. I wondered how fun the day would be? This day wasn't just any ordinary day trip, it was my sister's birthday as well.

Riding in the car my sister, my nephews, my niece, my brother in-law and I got stuck on the interstate highway. Something was wrong with the car. We all stopped on the edge of the highway. My brother in-law got out of the car, and walked around . As soon as he got out, he noticed something strange. His car had the right front wheel flat. He was surprised. He never went out to somewhere without checking his car first. We were really surprised this had happened. Afterwards, I wondered "Why didn't he check his car before us started to head to Six Flags?" We were all shocked. I started to wish nothing but the best for our trip. All in my mind was having fun on our trip.

After such inconvenience on the way, we finally arrived to the famous great adverture park " Six Flags". I didn't mind having the little inconvenience we had at all. We bought our tickets and went straight ahead to the park. I was extremely happy. At the moment, I thought it couldn't be any better that I couldn't feel much happier than that day. I was trying to convince my nephews, my niece, my sister, and brother in-law to get on the roller coaster called "Toro". At first they didn't want to. They were very afraid. I didn't mind getting on it by myself, but I really wanted them to enjoy it with me. Then, I managed to convince all of them, except my sister, it was really hard trying to convience her. When we were standing the roller coaster's line, my sister started to wobble a lot. I saw her wobbling, so I started to worry about her eventhough I was so excited. The time to get on the roller coaster came, and my sister also started to get pale. As soon as my brother in-law saw her like that, he told her to get off from the ride because she might get worse. But because my sister wanted to please me she decided to mount on the roller coaster with the rest of us. After that, my sister started to throw up and became even more pale. Now I was getting really scared. I started to feel guilty eventhough it wasn't absolutely my intensions. I also didn't want to screw up her birthday day, but my emotions were sort of unmanageable. After a couple of minutes later, my sister started to feel better, and I started to feel less guilty. I promised her that I would never ever try to pressure her to do something that she won't be able to. However, I knew she was catastrophically funky of heights.






The Nitro Ride

                                               
                                                                     "Toro" Ride


We all went around the park, and started to get on  the rides each of us wanted to. Nobody was being forced to do things they didn't want to do. Then, my brother in-law  came out of the blue with a huge colorful cake, and some balloons in his hand. This surprise was made for my sister on her birthday day. When she saw this such a beautiful detail from all of us, she started to cry of happines.  Somehow I felt more relieved because I knew she would like the surprise we had made for her, and I'd feel much better afterwards. We all sang her the "happy birthday" song, and took many pictures on group. After this, I ran to the "Nitro" ride. This ride was calling my intension since the first day I heard on tv about Six Flags, besides another famous ride called "Toro" My niece wanted to come along. We both got on at the first row. I was feeling alive, but my niece wasn't. She was about to start to regret, but it was too late for that. We were about to start the great adventure. I remember my niece, poor young lady, she was really scared as much as she was almost peeing on herself. I thought about telling her to not come  along with me, but she wanted to. Regards of the ride, it was incredible. After we finished up riding, we gathered up with the rest. We got on many rides afterward, but nothing compared to these two incredible rides " Nitro" and "Toro". Those two were the most insane rides I've ever seen in my whole life.

Despite of everything, we had so much fun. We celebrated my sister's birthday and shared it as a family.  I never thought I'd have so much fun on such an amazing day. I really liked Six Flags. I wondered, when I would go again? In addition, my sister getting on a roller coaster was horrible, and for her an awful experience because she'd never ridden on a roller coaster before.

It was a magnificent experience spending a quality time with my family. I didn't know my brother in-law well enough, but by having this wonderful moment with him made me know much more about him. It is very important to us to know each other very well whether is our family or friends.  Being involved to my sister's surprise on her birthday was a dream come true. I felt like I'd accomplished something for her, and she loved it . I also felt, assortment feelings on her birthday. This moment I won't never ever forget in my life. Being able to make someone happy on their special day it is a mission accomplished.

My Senior Trip

            


         On Friday, March 2012, I woke up from a deep sleep just like every other ordinary school day, but this particular day was going to be much more fun. I got to school around 7:30 a.m., dropped off my luggage in the conference room, and went off to class. I was excitedly waiting for the announcement. Afterwards, a couple of minutes later the announcement was made for all seniors going on the Senior Trip to head down to the conference room. And this is where the great trip began.

Couldn't wait for the big day. My luggage was ready
the night before.

We all got on three busses and headed to our destination. The Senior Trip was in Ellenville, New York. Honor's Heaven Resort & Spa was the name of the place where we were going . The principal, the teachers, the classmates and I were all heading to the resort. When we were on the bus there was a little group of my classmates who were sitting all the way at back on the bus. They were singing, rapping and screaming out so loud. I thought they were so excited about the trip as I was. But they after a while, were becoming a little annoying. Some of us were so busy listening to music, doing face-time with their family, playing on their cell phones and more. I sat down beside my bestfriend on the bus. I wanted to sit on the window side, but my best friend also wanted to. I did not want to be in a fight with her, so I let her sit on the window side. She noticed I was a little upset at the moment, and then she asked me " Are you ok, bestie?"  Yes, I'm fine bestie", I answered. Then, my bestfriend and I started to share out our snacks while we were heading to the resort.

When we finally arrived, we all got off of the bus and started to run fast, heading to the resort. The excitement was so real. We looked like kids when they receive a toy for the first time. After that, we all went to our bedrooms and dropped off our luggage. Later, my roomates and I decided to go to the pool and take a dip. We started to put on our bathing suit. One of my roomates didn't put anything on when we finished dressing up. It seemed very strange. She approached me and silently told me she'd forgot to bring her bathing suit. But later, I remember that I'd brought two bathing suits. I gave her one,and she took it. No one of my roomates noticed she was wearing my bathing suit. After we got dressed, my high school's supervisor told us we could not go anywhere untill she's checked everyone was at the resort. We got very upset and decided to take off our bathing suit. Afterwards, the principal checked out everyone was there and safe. She started to tell us the rules and what we should or shouldn't do in the resort, for the rest of the evening . My classmate and I couldn't do so much the first day.

The second day was much more fun. We all woke up so early in the morning. We had breakfast, and then we ran to the ice-skating spot. We started to take pictures of each other and in groups. My bestfriend and I were always together. While my bestfriend and I were sharing out every single moment and details, I noticed how truly I loved her and vice-versa. At nightfall, we all went to the resort's night club. We all danced together. We had a dancer's competition. And the principal was the one who won the competition. What an amazing night!. 

On the morning of the third day, while everybody was waking up, a guy of my classmate walked in to my bedroom, and started to play with me while I was sleeping. He was just playing around, hitting me with a pillow, but I hated it.  I didn't realize there was a  pillow fight going on outside in the hallway. Teachers and students were all fighting with each other. It was a dumb game, and I didn't like it, probably because it was in the morning. After that, we all went to the pool area. Our principal and teachers created a pool party for the grad class. They created the area with many "grad" colorful balloons , and put a huge table with many pizza pie boxes on it, beverages,  plastic cups and plates, and a cute large rectangular blue and white cake. We also had a DJ who was jamming some nice music. No doubts the party was lit and alive. A couple of hours later, we all had to go to our bedroom to take a shower and dress up. We were already returning to our house. I didn't want to go to the reality. I had a great experience sharing with my classmate and  bestfriend, and the opportunity to meet people from my class even more. In addition, I had so much fun sharing those days with my bestfriend. I wish I could go back to those days, but you only live such an amazing experience once. It's definitely something I will never live again.

For the firt time I felt so freedom because I wasn't under my parents pressure. Being away from my parents somehow made me feel independent. I didn't know I could leave way from them until my senior trip.  I also, didn't realize how much grown I felt being away from them. This experience has made me think how my future life would be without being with them  by my side. Also, this experience made me become an open-minded to see life in many aspects.

My first time in a resort

 

            My parents and I went on vacation to the Dominican Republic in 2013. My parents planned to go to a resort. The resort was called “Grand Paradise”, and it was located in Samana, Dominican Republic, on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in the northeast of the country. My mother invited a couple of her siblings, and my fiancé as well. The relationship between my parents and my fiancé is really good.

When we arrived to the Dominican Republic at first we stayed at my uncle's house. We decided to take a rest before we went to the resort. The day to go to the resort finally came. My parents, my fiancé, some of my mother’s siblings with their families and I went all together. The resort looked so good. There were wonderful beaches, many indoor and outdoor pools, a golf course, a volleyball field, bars, night clubs, cocktail drinks, and amazing varieties of foods. The resort’s staffs were so kindly and polite.

Outdoor Pools

Wonderful Beach

Shows Dance

                                               





The first day, we all stayed at the resort. We went to our bedrooms in order to leave our stuff. A Couple of hours later we all went to have lunch. We started eating and sharing out short tales. It felt so great being with family and the person I love the most, my fiancé. Then, we all went to take a dip in the beach.  I felt so great sharing quality time with my family. My fiancé took me to a wonderful place near the resort where we were hosting. I wondered why he was taking me to such a place. He told me he missed me so much, and he wanted to spend more time with me alone.  I was blushing. I felt that I couldn’t even talk at the moment. He told me he wanted make that day unforgettable, and promised me he wouldn’t let me down. I was so surprised how lovely he was. Expressing all his feelings, it was really priceless. My heart started to beat faster. I felt my whole body was wobbling. Then, on the table we were sitting, there was a guy who came out of the blue with a mini box. It was a gorgeous necklace, symbolizing our true love. The guy was wearing a black suit with a red bottom shirt, and black polished shoes. Then, my fiancé hugged me so tight, and told me how much he loves me. Since that day, I couldn't imagine my life without him. I always realized we were born to be next to each other. Then, a couple of hours later we went back to the resort, and gathered with the rest of my family.

                                                                    Outdoor Pool
 

The next day in the resort we all had breakfast. After the breakfast, we went to the pool. The pool’s atmosphere was lit. There were incredible bars, and music around the pool area. There were inflatable games, dominoes games, dance shows, cotton candy making machines, and many more on. We all had fun on that day. In the evening, we all went to the resort’s night-club. My mother wanted me and my fiancé to dance, so she told my fiancé to take me out to dance because she knows I love to dance. But, my fiancé didn’t really like the idea. In fact, he didn’t know how to dance. My mother pushed him towards me, and told us to start to dance. I was fine dancing, but he wasn’t. We started to dance bachata. When we started dancing, I noticed he wasn't that bad though. He was not dancing as well as I did, but at least he was trying his best. My family was all laughing at us, while my fiancé and I were dancing. He stepped on my left foot by accident. I really wanted to kill him, but I knew it wasn’t on purpose. I was cranky at the moment, but then he kissed me, and everything was forgiven.

The last day we stayed in the resort was much fun. We all went together to the golf course in order to play. One of my uncles fell while he was playing. The way he fell was hilarious, but we all were worried about him. I thank God, nothing bad happened to him. Afterwards, I rode a horse around the golf field. I was really scared. My father rode with me on the same horse. He felt so comfortable though. When my mother saw us ridding the horse together, she took her cell phone out of her pocket, and started to shoot photos to us. Sharing this especial moment was one of the greatest moments I’ve ever had with my father. I felt so cared. My father took so much care of me as much as his own life while we were ridding the horse. Perhaps he may have thought he was right. Then, after a long and wonderful day, we all went to our bedrooms to clean and pick up our stuffs. I really did not want to leave from the resort, but I had to. And it was one of my the best vacation.

My greatest day ever

Me in my Sweet Sixteen Birthday!



                  I imagined about my Sweet Sixteenth Birthday. I wondered if I'd have a sixteen birthday party or just go on vacation with my friends,but it wasn't untill March,2011 found it.


                My mother decided to plan what would be an amazing sweet sixteenth. Mom is a creative party planner and florist. She took on the task by herself, and I served as a little helper. I never realized how much goes into planning a party until we started planning for my great day. The first of many steps was to find a place or hall where my sixteenth birthday party was going to be held. My parents didn't have a lot of money. I decided to help them out by searching some affordable places. Once, one of my closest friends told me about this boat-club called "La Rumba". I told my mother about it. Then, on the next day my mother and I went to "My Old San Juan" in order to investigate about the boat-club's prices. "La Rumba" boat-club was affordable enough. It had everything my parents and I wanted with beautiful lights, a beautiful view, a lot of space, great drinks, and the most important thing it was a reasonable price. When I walked inside the boat-club, the atmosphere gave me vibes that made me feel as if everything would to be flawless.





"La Rumba" Boat-Club

             There were days, my mother and I went to many shop stores to get different ideas of what theme I would enjoy the most. Both of us bought all the birthday supplies. My parents bought me a gorgeous small dress for the occasion. The dress was a deep pink color with a bright fabric, and there were  little roses shape on it. I was so happy and nervous about my party. Time was flying so quickly. We had two weeks left for my birthday, and not all the things were bought it. During a week and a half, finally, my parents  bought what was missing for the great day. They decided to just invite ten of my closer friends from school, and a couple of their friends as well. My mother came up with the idea to make sparkly and colorful envelops for invitations.

             The day had finally come. My joys were written on my face. The event took place in San Juan, Puerto Rico. My invited friends were all gathered together by the time I got over there in front of 'La Rumba'. In addition, one of my friends came up out of the blue with a little sprinkle chocolate cupcake in his hand. I was really surprised with such of a creative and unique idea. The theme and rest of the decoration were amazing. There were many colorful glitter balloons, a huge ice cream cake with frosty on it, and a little sixteen birthday doll. Also, there were a bunch of gifts from all the invited people. We all had fun. We were all laughing, dancing, talking. No doubts it was an amazing night.

            Since that day I've could not explain the assortment of wonderful feelings. Those unpredictable moments really made me feel alive. "Life is not measure by numbers of breaths, but by the moment that take our breath away".
