The worst is to come..

How can the worst be to come? Unfortunately the killings, kidnappings, robberies, violence in all kinds is still goin on in Juarez, it's beyond bad. It frustrate me, upsets me and its so pathetic what s going on. People are beyond scared. Why can't someone put an end to this, why doesn't the american goverment help, when the mexican police won't help since they are all corrupt.

It's being said the worst is to come, God help them.

The mafia and drug dealers deserve to rott in hell.

This country...

Do i hate anyone? nope, I don't actually, there is people i dislike obviously, but not hate.
I've being asked by family, friends and my super bestie back home why I want to be here. The answer is obvious, My lil and big love (D & A) it seems they might hold a better future here, back home everything is money, i guess i could always ask the parents for money, but that's not the point, i wanna prove everyone i can do it, and i know i can, hey after all i managed uni and got a degree out of it. Which is most than what loads of people can do. I know once i get my documents sorted everything will be ok. I hate it when people ask about this, this only involves my family and who ever i want to tell, not everyone. (I'm in a mood haha so don't take it seriously)

I do miss back home though, especially with everything that's goin on. I've always being very close to my family, and I just miss them. I do have some great people over here, the greatest are (A husband & D bebo) my friends from back in uni who still keep in touch at least twice a week to check on the 3 of us, and Norma, who is like my second mom. I got the husband's parents who are nice people, but I aint that close to them or anyone near my husband due to the fact that I've got nothing in common i guess, not bad people though. My husband is my bestest friend(knows about everything lol) ever n the lil cutie too who i love so freakin much!! My husband's friends are ok i guess, I've settled some stuff that some person said to them that i didn't like them but i faced them nd told them i didn't really know them back then n that they are ok, so now they ike me and i don't mind them.

I miss Liz, my super bestie lol, she's awesome, I can talk to her about anything. I miss those fashion chats lol, over here not a lot people know about fashion, and I don't really dress up due to the fact that some people can be close minded. Especially if i ask, '' do you think she's avant garde?'' or '' i think that's the best couture ever'' i receive looks like 'eh?' I don't really have a conversation with loads of people due to the fact that they haven't being to uni probably or don't know what I'm on about (being american and all lol) I mean i know a bit about everything in the world, even about the whole financial situation. Anyway, I guess all i can do is say ' Hi' and 'Bye' or just don't say anything at all, which might be best, so they don't take my 'hi's the wrong way hahahaha!!

Just to get it clear, I've got no beef with anyone what so ever. But if anyone does then just tell me in a civilized manner. If someone dislikes me is obvious they don't know me and they only judge me by my exterior, which is very confident. I guess who ever hates me is because they are only jealous of my family, confidence, and so on..... If yu don't know me you'll hate me.

Juarez.

Juarez,

Most people know of Juarez due to the 400 or more women that have being, tortured, raped and killed. A sick, pathetic thing that is blamed to different people, some blame drug dealers, other the rich people and others. But now a days it ain't these topic that's calling the attention it's about the drug war and all the killings of people (some innocent, some not so innocent i.e. drug dealers).

It does get me very frustrated, upset and annoyed at the fact that i can not do anything to stop all these killings. There's being more that 1,300 killings since February to now, and not just killings, also kidnapping for money, asking businesses for quota's to supposedly protect them, which obviously they won't but want their money no matter what, if you don't give the quota ''something can happen to you'' they say, and so they do, they kill you or torture you.

Drug killings used to be different before, not saying the killings were or are right in anyway, but at least before they didn't put the city in danger, and it's citizens. Juarez at the moment is the face of violence, and fear for who's next and who will get in the way unfortunately.

The Juarez i knew was different, i studied in one of the best private schools in Juarez, i used to love it and once it hit 3.30pm I'd be on my way to the house on the school bus with my brother. The streets everywhere used to always look safe, and even the 'cholos'(term use in Mexico for now gang members) didn't mess with you, everyone used to be friendly. You would not see as much violence as now, not even close to it. The killings per day now are 8 persons at least all over the city, it doesn't matter if it's on the poor state or the rich state.

To make matters even worse, the authorities in Mexico are bought off by drug dealers. Before everybody knew that you could bribe some police man if they gave you a fine, but now they get bribed to let 'sicario's' ( mexican word used for low hitman) to take human lives. To be quite honest you don't know who you can trust authority wise, since there are a very few that still try to protect the city from this scum that are drug dealers. The army has gotten involved too, and loads of other organizations, but this has only made things worst, i.e. more killings, kidnapping, robbery's etc. It's being said the army has stopped innocent people in cars, put drugs in the cars, say they found some drug dealers, than take them to a secret location and torture them and let them go when they get tired of torturing. There's no doubt these people are sick, pathetic and the scum of the earth.

Something needs to be done to stop this, Juarez needs help, the people are scared, annoyed and they've being betrayed by their authorities. These killings need to stop!

Girls over 21!

It should be the rule that once you hit 22 the most, all that high school bitchiness, should be out of your system. Now a days it seems as if though girls just want to go back to high school with all the bitching they do behind people's backs. I don't understand why people just don't go face to face and tell each other what they think of each other, I would love for anyone who has a problem with me to say it to my face and not behind my back, only cowards do that.
You might ask if I've got a problem with anyone at the moment? Not really, I'm just quite picky on who i consider my friends, and that's why all my true and best mates are back home. I do hate someone or some people and those people are the authorities in Mexico. Time for the next blog. Just a bit of advice, if you have a problem with someone say it face to face (or don't say nothing about the person at all) but don't go into a cat fight, that's just low and vulgar.

I love...

At the minute I love ' Chuck' Such an awesome show. With a bit of eye-candy for everyone, and very good story line, more original than others out there.

Nothing like AMNTP, even though i did enjoy it before, it seems that people watch it because they think they know so much about fashion, when at the end of the day you don't gt to see any real designers on it, yeah pretty pics at the end but that's about it. And come on what's up with Tyra and her movements when she's introducing the judges, this has become more of a comedy than a program about fashion, for those who want to learn about fashion read NYLON, VOGUE, ELLE, there's loads of even underworld mags that will show you more about fashion than this show. And if you watch it, and like it than fair enough... I respect that, this is just my opinion, (my truth).

I really dislike it, when some people think they know so much about fashion that they try and tell you what's on fashion now, when they've got no clue. When you think about Fashion you think Haute Couture, the best of the best, even though some of us won't probably be wearing, since there's only around 1,500 people in the world who actually wear Haute Couture, It's highly expensive and you need the attitude, not to forget to be quite tall. Even though I've found out the clothes give you the atittude, to be quite honest, Fashion is also about feeling comfortable in your own skin and owning those clothes. If you are not happy with the way you look, it'd be highly noticeable, If you don't like being skinny or fat why don't you do something instead of moaning about it. I don't like people who say to me, 'oh i feel so fat, i wanna lose weight so bad' then do something about it isntead of telling the world about, remember that if you love yourself then people wil love you. It's bein said no one's happy with their weight, but i can think of people who are, for example my family, my best friend and me, and if i feel the need to lose weight then i exercise and eat more healthy, it's all about wanting to do something and goin for it....anyway before i sign off, if you want to copy all the new catwalk looks on a budget go to primark but with a bit of time, and try to be creative, some stuff looks cheap but with some inspiration you can make it look like a designer. Also new look, and Topshop. My fave designers are Chanel (nothing beats the classics) BCBG, Luella, Marc Jacobs, Cavalli, and I could go on all nite, I've got quite a few designers clothes here and back home, but at the minute I'm not wearing them a lot, I'm getting very overprotective of them, and at the minute I'm not much of a show off, haha, I'm in between looks, comfy but gonna aim for avant garde very soon, it's more of who I'am:) Signing off now. Nite :)

Can you say Haute Couture? ;)
