Three Hundred and Forty-Nine


A day at the Renaissance Festival.
Truly an amazing experience.
I got to witness: 
Potions and ingredients for spells.
A witch who will soon become a mentor
:)
Trolls walking around making his mate call
(it kinda freaked me out)


A family of beautiful gypsies
with another baby on the way.


A fair lady playing her harp.
Kids wondering where the beer is being kept.


A beautiful baby boy that relies on pots and pans for entertainment.


A mug of tasty mead!
A breath-taking Knight, 
that later got killed while jousting.
***
I must admit the day was a very magical one.
You better believe I am going again.
Sadly to say, the moment I hopped into the car, 
the magic was swept away by just ONE phone call.

Being defeated by one of your kind 
has to be the worst battle one can ever fight.
You cannot run for cover,
because what you know as safety is now your enemy.
My mother has always been tough to please.
Emotions are not really her thing.
So how did I become so emotionally sensitive?
While my friend suggested something that I'm giving thought to,
I couldn't stop thinking about how harsh my mother can be.
She gave away Gaga without my consent.
Without me saying Good-bye!
The whole hour drive was equivalent
to an emotional roller coaster.
From laughs to tears, and repeat,
my thoughts slowly began to clutter.
Each phone call I kept getting was worse than the one before.
I arrived home only to get even more upset.
My own kind used my weakness against me.
She mocked my emotions like if it was a game.
I don't think I've ever been this upset before.
So much tension in the house
and all was against me.
I lost this battle and my wounds are severe.
To recover feels like it will take a lifetime.
 
The flower that never made it to her arms.
The irony it carried the moment it decided to break before it arrived home.
I'm an emotional wreck!

Three Hundred and Thirty-Five

It's one of nature's way that we often feel closer to distant generations 
than to the generation immediately preceding us.  
~Igor Stravinsky
I love my mother, but my grandma is the isssshhhh!
I had just taken out her dentures.
She was caught laughing without them!
:D

Three Hundred and Twenty-Two

Yeya doesn't get played that often.
But I make sure that when she does,
I get a huge  p i n k  audience
with the exception of the black furry monsters
that like to destroy the audience
and
lick Yeya's strings

I want to say no dogs or piggies 
were harmed in the making of this shoot
BUT
I'll be lying.

Three Hundred and Seventeen

F a m i l y

Nope you can't choose them,
and yes sometimes you wish you can replace them.
But at the end of the day,
they are the ones God chose for you.
Without them, 
life wouldn't ever be the same.
I love my dysfunctional family.
I wish they were all here for this photo
but I'm grateful for those who showed.
Today was my grandma's eighty-third birthday.
Exactly one week and three days ago,
she was moved to an
Assisted Living Facility.
She could only stay with us until 7pm.
 Everyone rushed to come over
in work uniform and working out clothes,
everyone came to share their love.
I couldn't ask for more.

Happy Birthday Abuela
I truly miss her but I know everything happens for a reason.
I really wish I can be a bit stronger about this situation.
My emotions have been running haywire lately.

Two Hundred and Seventy

Merry Christmas Mother.
Everything I wanted to happen... happened!
She reminisced on her good old times.
Merry Christmas to Me.
After
3 boxes,
lots of tape,
wrapping paper,
and
a cookie jar later...
I found out what my present was!
Indeed I was impressed.
My mother is the bombdiggity.

The Pimp Mobile.
And after a family fun filled day of dancing,
we drove to the beach and witness the beauty of this city.

Merry Christmas everyone!
