First Day At School

Oh! After a great summer, the first day at school is always bad. You come from two great months of a dream life where you don’t do anything, you party until the hour you wish, you sleep until you get exhausted of it, and simply, you do what you want. However, going back to school is like changing those parties into homework, or the 168456213 hours of sleeping you had, for the 3 hours you sleep because you have to wake up at 5 o’clock.

This year: I’M A SENIOR! WOW! The oldest of high school… that HAS to be great; our jackets, the yellow chairs only seniors use in reunions, and a lot more preferences, YAY! But, when you come to school there are still these people; the people you have to see every single day of every single year even if you don’t want, but also the people, somehow or another, you care about. Why? Because they are the ones you grow up with, the ones with whom you have gone through a lot of things, the ones you’ll end school, YOUR CLASS.

In school there’s always going to be:

• The Hater: A show-off girl who thinks and who wants to be the center of attention… ALWAYS!

• The Popular: The group of the popular ones; the people who have a great social life, who are beautiful and that are not afraid of doing something.

• The Hot Guy/Girl: The ones everyone likes; kids at sixth grade will die to be with them… like the Poshs and Beckhams of high school.

• The Artists: They have their own band, or their whole gallery, or a play next week. The ones you usually see with a guitar on their hands, or a pencil… or practicing choreography at the dance classroom.

• The Good Ones: Always doing their homework, sleeping early at night, being the dream son or daughter.

• The Geek: The one who is always alone, in his/her own world. You can feel sorry for them, but if you’re seen with them, there are two possibilities:

o Your social life will be destroy or;

o He will fall for you (personal experience, not something I want to talk about nor remember)

• HIM: The GUY. The one you get nervous just by staring at, or excited because he smile at you, the one you have love… your love, the one you’ll never forget.

• And finally, THE NORMAL ONES: Us! BTFs; we’re not haters, popular, geeks, good girls, artists, nor the hot ones… we’re the normal ones.

This year, the hater has her hair different, the popular are even more popular, the geek is geeker, the hot one is hotter, the artist has a new song, the good ones… are still the good ones; and HE… he is as gorgeous and lovely as ever. I no longer talk that much with him, but he still has that something I die for, he is still HE.

I’ll enjoy this year at school as if it was the last one… WAIT! It is, LOL. Never mind, maybe this year won’t be the best one, nor the worst; but when you’re a SENIOR, who cares? I’ll be me more than any other time, I’ll be the girl I want to be, I’ll be Camille, the normal girl… a normal girl who will achieve what she wants, what she dreams. But right now, I’ll be myself while I do math homework… hope I can with it… if not: DADDY!!

Hope you have enjoy

XOXO

Time Heals Everything

After a break-up (when you really love the person), the only thing you can think about is: when is the pain disappearing? You keep hours, days, and months or even years asking yourself what went wrong, what was that something you said or did that ruin everything… WHAT?!

Well, in my opinion, I don’t know why they call it a heart-break if it feels like you’re all broken. I may speak for us BTFs when I say: Our luck with the boys… umm, isn’t the best one. Seriously, is like if in my forehead I had a BIG, SHINY (with glitter and everything), sign saying: LOOKING FOR BOY WITH GIRLFRIEND! Why do guys (obviously, not all of them… but big part of them) have to be such assholes?! When you’re in a relationship you’re not supposed to be flirting with other girls… they like, don’t appreciate when someone really loves them.

Cheating is the worst mistake you can do in a relationship… honestly, is like yelling your mate: YOU ARE NOT ENOUGH FOR ME! And then, we go back to the start of this entry: WHAT DID I DO WRONG? And the truth is the only mistake you did was loving him/her TOO much. You’re not guilty of what “THEY” did… you’re muchier, you got your muchness. LOL. No, but really, you are a great person, you deserve better… and I know it sounds cliché, but just because it is the truth.

One way or another you will mend yourself, it’s a matter of time. At the beginning you’ll hate yourself, then you will hate he/she, and when you less expected, you won’t even think on them. I wished I were a little girl again; bruised knees heal faster than broken hearts, but… life goes on, it can’t be stopped just for one person. We have to stop ignoring the one who love us and stop loving the one who ignore us… it’s not healthy, besides it’s not cool. So, learn from yesterday (you’re worth it), live for today (you have tons of guys to meet), and hope for tomorrow ( maybe one of those guys is the ONE) ;)

HOPE THIS MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER

There's a thin line between knowing when to give up, and when to try harder

So I think all of us at least once in our lives wanted something really bad, but somehow it seemed impossible. I'm talking about anything: a guy, a job, a good grade, our parents permission, go somewhere, meet someone, etc... Well let me tell you something "never let the fear of striking out, keep you from playing the game" (I learned that on A Cinderella Story haha).

Lately I've been having to apply this in my life, because if I want something the only one who can make it happen it's ME. Of course I go always hand to hand from my BTFs support, my mom's advises and God's guide. But what I mean is that if you want something GO FOR IT!

Yes there is a chance that you try your best and you don't get the results you want, but that feeling (I guarantee) and saying "at least I tried" would be MUCH better that the "what if I had try" I hate that phrase. From what I've learned this past month I am a "NO MORE WHAT IFS" person.

Once I saw a poster that said: try, if you can't then try again, if it doesn't work then try harder, if you are not getting the results you want then ask for help...but always keep trying and try your best, because nothing is over until you've give it all.

Ask your self how much you want something, and if you really do, then believe me IT'S WORTH THE TRY! I tried and I'm already seeing the results...they may not be huge awesome results, but "From step to step you reach the top"

I hope you enjoy this post and it encourage you to go for what you want!

Remember All The Times We Rode In My Car And I Almost Kill You? Thank You For Still Being My Friend

The trips with my BTFs are always the best trips ever!! We usually travel to my farm which is located somewhere near Cali and where we have spent greatest times... We've laugh, cry, dance, sing, ride horse, get lost... And sometimes the place is the only place we want to be when we want to get away from the city and the drama.

One of the funniest moments I remember was the time when I was learning to drive and my dad lent me the car so I could learn to park it... Well... Did I mention I was JUST learning?? Hahaha, the next part is hilarious; I was in the truck with Emma and Camille... I was on the front seat, my dad was next to me and they were at the back...

"...OK... Now you just have to brake. And that's it" My dad told me...

Believe me, I don't know why, but instead of braking, I speed up and we almost hit a pole from the house hahahahah... I almost kill US!!!

Since that incident Emma and Camille didn't get into a car with me, until a week ago when I had to leave Camille at her house and Emma was staying with her...LOL

The last BTF, Izzie :)... I'm the oldest of us... But sometimes I act as the youngest... I love my BTFs, they are like my sisters... They ARE my sisters. Any time I need an advice, a shoulder to cry on or just someone to be with, I'm sure I can count with them... The funniest moments are with them, my sisters.

I also have a DOG!!! She's my little fat baby :):) hahhahaha
ENJOY OUR BLOG

Best Friends Are Hard To Find...'Cause The Very Best Ones Are Already Mine

We all have amazing days and experiences with our friends that through time become anecdotes for the rest of our lives. Well today I want to share with you one of the best anecdotes I have. As you may have noticed I’m the only BTF away (I moved to The Big Apple like 2 months ago), but the story today is about my last day in Colombia.

I have very dedicated BTFs, so as you can imagine they wanted me to have the best day of my life before moving…at least that was the plan before the night started haha…the night started a little tense when I didn’t have anything to wear and I wanted to use Camille’s high heels, so she had to COMPLETELY change her outfit to match a different pair of heels…

After almost 4 hours that took us to get ready (5 girls in 1 bedroom haha) we gathered with the rest of our friends to decide where to go. We had only 1 car so the rest of the group had to pay for a taxi. The first place was TOO expensive, the second place was TOO crowded, The third place was TOO far, hahaha at that point we had less money and it was getting late…

Finally we ended up in a club called “El Escondite” (The hiding place)…I thought everything was finally alright, but no more than 10 minutes after we arrived Emma sat down next to me, took my hand (really hard I have to say) and said

“It really hurts, I think it’s broken”

I went “what are you talking about?”

She pointed her foot…and when I looked at it BAM! Her foot had a freaking HUGE BALL…someone stepped on her, and that was all for Emma she had to go with a friend to her house (and to the hospital L )

After that I was sad and it was hard to have fun…but somehow I found the way hahaha…I must say I’m bad at keeping record of my drinks hahaha but THAT’S WHAT BTFs ARE FOR!!! And even if Emma was not with us the whole night, I ended up having one of the best nights ever! Dancing all night + Camille, Izzie & Chloe by my side = A night I won’t ever forget…

I’m the third BTF, Claire, can you imagine a common typical teenager? Well I’m exactly THE OPPOSITE hahaha…I came to NY to make my dreams come true, but I’ve learned from my own experience that no matter what you do or where you do it, you need BTFs as great as mine to get through this rollercoaster people call LIFE.

Love you all,

-Claire

Our Friendship Is Tighter Than The JoBros Pants

School is something that can drive you crazy, all those homework, projects, getting early in the morning… ugh! It can seriously be stressful; but there are always those cool projects you enjoy just by the fact you are NOT having class…

Last year, in my school, that cool project consisted in creating your own micro-business and selling what you wanted. Since Claire is not here, Izzie, Emma and I build our own hamburger business… believe me when I say: those hamburgers were the best ones I’ve taste. Anyway, it was morning and everyone at 10th grade was organizing their local.

Emma and I were putting in order the cardboards… our “publicity”. We needed some scissors, so I went in search of them. I search through ALL high-school and at the end I, FINALLY, found a scissor. Since we had few time, I got back to our local running with the scissors on my hand.

“Didn’t your mom tell you not to run with scissors?” Emma asked me

“OH Em! I knoww, but running with scissors makes me feel dangerous!”

That comment just made us laugh until our lungs couldn’t more… we laugh so much and so loud, that Izzie had to punch us to make us stop!! It was hilarious…

I’m the second BTF, Camille, and through time I’ve learned that no matter how you dislike or how hard is something, as school, you’ve always friends who make those “unwished” things, the best things ever. In live you can laugh, cry, dance, sing, love, hate and a lot more… but trust me, having a friend by your side will make of that action even better.

Enjoy live guys, do what you want with it, but never forget to have someone by your side you can trust and count on.

Take care,

-Camille

It Is What It Is

Asking ourselves what name we were going to use as URL for our blog, the only idea we had was our acronym for "Best True Friends", but we saw it was used already....(btf.blogspot.com). Out of curiosity we entered the page, I was surprised by the conversations it had, and told Camille:

"OH MY EFFING GOD! We are somewhere else on the world!!!"

she just laughed, and then I saw something else and said:

"AND THEY ARE GUYS!!!"

That just made Camille fall on the floor and start laughing her ass off....It was hilarious…well it was probably because it was our happy hour…normally around 11, 12…or 3 am!!! Hahahaha

Some minutes later she stopped dead and told me she was hearing something…like footsteps, so I turned around and started to freak out…Camille said:

“sounds like that time last week when a cockroach came out of the desk”

That was my breaking point….I started screaming even though it was 3 am and said “SUPPOSEDLY there were no cockroach here!!!”

“I knowwww!!”

I jumped over the seat and waited for about 10 minutes…looking everywhere…I wished it was a ghost…at least they can’t touch you…cockroaches are so gross!!!

Anyway starting our blog we decided that each one of us is going to present ourselves to our readers, and I’ll be starting it…I’m Emma, a common 16-year-old with Natural teenage instincts that simply overpower me: I love Facebook, cellphones, msn and iPods…well not as much as I LOVE my best friends, with who I’ll be sharing stories and advices in this blog. I’m about to turn 17 and I have HUGE dreams, I plan to do a lot with my life, well…not until I turn 18…that’s when they are going to start being carry out.

My friends and I have a lot of crazy days like today, and this blog is not only for sharing them with you, but to show you what we have learned from our mistakes.

I HOPE YOU LIKE IT!

Enjoy

-Emma
