So I know I have neglected you all and I am SO sorry. I have been waiting on when I am able to tell you about this 'big news' and I still can't. I'm sorry guys.
Well, basically I am taking a break from working on my summer homework and blogging. I start my last year of high school in 24 hours and my little brother starts his first year of high school in less than 6 hours.
This is my last year to make it count and I have so many emotions going on at the moment. Bear with me. These next couple of posts are going to be insane.
I'll let you know how my last day of summer ends and how my first day of my last year goes!
Good Morning/ Night (: xx

Okay So I have to apologize to all of you.
I realize that I didn't update you guys AT ALL. And I am very sorry about that. But hey the Olympics are still on! And Congrats to Michael Phelps 20 medals! Woo. And Team USA in women's gymnastics! First time in like 16 years! WOOOO. I am very proud to be an American!
But I have some rather unfortunate news for you all, I won't be able to tell you this news for at least another week... Till I am allowed to open my mouth. Especially to you all, because it has a rather fortunate future for this blog. I can't tell you any details, none at all. Because that will just spoil everything. But when I do, man this blog is going to change. I promise you that. (:
In other news, my life has been pretty lazy. As many of you know, I injured my leg and I had to rest it. Now I have to take baby steps so I can go back to running. It is torture! Well, as a result of my being lazy.. I have been thinking a lot about the things that I've done in the past year, the people that I have lost touch with, and the stuff that has been said. I realized that I kind of miss the conversations we all used to have. The fun times we all had together. Like my past birthday. I had three of my friends come over to my house and we hung out, had some pizza and then run off to Sam's to help my friend (at the time) with her project. We roamed around there wearing BRIGHT RED LIPSTICK hair up in a bun, in our pajamas, and screaming or singing around in the whole store. Then we bought cupcakes and went back to my house. That is and so far has always been the best birthday of my life. I will honestly never forget that day, because I spent it with the people that I knew (or thought) would be there for me, just like I was there for them. The sad part is that little did I know, two of them were talking about me behind my back. I didn't find out till later, after everything was said and done. After the drama, the twitter fights, after everything. I feel bad, hurt and betrayed. But you know what, everyone talks about you behind your back. Maybe some good things, maybe some bad, and maybe the things they said might have been hurtful to me. I know I shouldn't be asking for their forgiveness but after the news that I received... you'll realize why I don't want to leave grudges behind.
Now, I am going to keep writing in this blog but I won't tell you the news till I am allowed to tell people. For now just random topics and funny and not so funny things about my days.
Goodnight/Morning (: xx.

My Apologies.
As we all know, we are all excited about the Olympics. I can tell you that if you are looking at my tweets, you can tell I am beyond excited. So I am extremely sorry about not blogging yesterday, also because I have been really bummed, because I am not able to go running. My mother is making me take a break from running so I can go get my knee checked out. Since I feel like my calf feels like its going to break in half. It's bad though, I've had this pain for about a week or two and I am still doing everything I can to exercise.
Why am I so determined to exercise? Because this is my senior year, and I have so many things to look forward too. Mainly my homecoming and prom, and I need to loose weight to look good for it. I'm not doing this for anyone. I am doing this for myself, these are my personal goals.
I get a little offended when people tell me that I shouldn't loose weight because I look well the way I am. But this is personal. I hope that some people are able to understand that.
Anyway, did you guys see the Opening Ceremony? Personally, it gave me chills. Everything was so, well done. It was also very different. I don't remember much of the Beijing Olympics, but I do know that the London Olympics did something completely different. I mean the torch is in floor of the stadium instead of the top of it. The 'Queen' jumped out of a helicopter with James Bond! Everything was very well organized, and its great that they made everyone involved, swear to secrecy. I give those ceremonies 5 stars and 2 thumbs up! I am so excited to be watching the Olympics live and I am going to try my best to blog while watching. But if you want to read all my crazy tweets about the 2012 London Summer Olympcs, please follow me on Twitter. @CynthiaaNohemii
In other news, the little boy, Nathan, has gotten a lot of support. Please keep him in your thoughts and/or prayers.

Something to think about.
Okay, so I was looking through some pictures on a website, and the comments on the pictures were just hurtful. Like why would anyone bash another human being?! Telling then to go and kill themselves?! No, you don't do that! I don't care who you are, what you do, or how much money you have, you tell someone to kill themselves or even that they are unattractive, you are worse in my book.
Everyone is beautiful in their own way, but if you bash anyone about anything especially their insecurities. Man, you aren't beautiful. Why? Because someone who does that to make others feel worse about themselves...It doesn't matter if you are a super model, if you tell a fellow person that they are not good enough, then you aren't either. I can't even stress this enough, because it hurts to see that. I'd rather get hate from defending someone, than not saying anything at all. I mean, yes, we all judge someone by their appearance at first. It's an instinct that we all have. But don't let that get in the way of getting to know a person. They could be the most sweetest people on the planet but you would never know, because you were too busy being shallow to realize that. And yes, we all say looks don't matter, but who really goes by that nowadays? No one. Society has really messed up this generation. Maybe that's why the saying is "Society killed the teenager." Maybe because the teenager couldn't handle the way life is now rather than how it was, lets say 10 years ago. Nowadays, you have to look PERFECT. If you don't look a certain way, or act a certain way, or even think a certain way, you aren't given the chance at being "cool" or "in". Why does it matter what you look like? Why does it matter if you have this certain way of dressing or way living?! Why can't people just not judge a person by the way look rather than judge their personality?! I love the saying: "If only you were as beautiful as your personality, then maybe everyone could see how beautiful/ugly you really are." Maybe it is only said to the 'mean girl' in the movies, but if only that were true. Life would be so different. Don't you think?
How about giving everyone a chance? How about that?
Think about it.

Could you do me a favor?
I really don't have much to say today. I mean all I did was sleep and all I can really think about is this little boy who was diagnosed with a brain tumor, and its one of those that you can't operate on. So if you have the time, please pray for him. His mom is one of my mother's co-workers, and they really need all the prayers they can get.
And if you aren't religious, well at least keep him in your thoughts.
Well, I'll have something longer for you all to read tomorrow, or later.
Goodnight/ Morning xx.

What an amazing and wonderful weekend
Although it is Monday, I did say that I was going to explain my whole weekend.
Well, I went to a retreat with my church youth group, it is called AYC (Archdiocesan of Galveston-Houston Youth Conference.) It is held at The Hilton Hotel every year and we are to stay there all weekend, with is Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. My whole weekend was just... indescribable! It changed my life, spending my entire weekend with over 2,000 teens that wanted to get closer to God. I am so happy, and this feeling is so new to me! For I haven't had the best luck with things, and I wasn't exactly close to God. But the fact that AYC helped me realized that I needed to break down my wall in order to feel the warmth in my heart. And let me tell you, it’s the best feeling in the world!
Friday when we got to the hotel we had time to chill and sit around for a while, until they had the rooms ready so we could put our belongings in our rooms. Unfortunately all of our rooms weren't ready yet, so the hotel only gave us two room keys and we put our belongings in one room and ate our lunch in the second. Afterwards we went to one of the ballrooms where they were hosting this event called "Bayou Village" where everyone affiliated with the conference goes and they have some activities (games, a dance floor, merchandise, arts and crafts, etc.) that we can do and also to get to know people from other churches. Its fun to just roam around before we get to sit down and listen to people speak the rest of the weekend, not that I am complaining. Goodness, that would be the last thing that I would do. We had an assembly after Bayou Village, where they talked about what we were going to do all weekend. Then they changed it up this year and had a session where they divided up the genders. Obviously I stayed with the girls and the speaker really spoked to me. As soon as she started talk about how we act, how we woman tend to be very insecure about many things, how we judge one of another without even trying, and also how society has changed our ways. She had a lot of topics to talk about with us girls, and I'm glad I got to listen to her talk. Because as soon as she started talking about a woman's life and all that jazz, I was in tears. I felt like she was telling my story, and the most interesting part about it was that, I wasn't the only one. About 99% of the girls there were also in tears, because they know exactly what she was talking about. Then after she was done with her talk, the boys came back into the ballroom from their session. Now, I don't know what they talked about during their session because obviously I am no boy and I wasn't allowed to join them in their session. But as soon as the boys walked in and took their seats, they told us they were holding Confessions outside and a group of us went out there and waited in line. Meanwhile, in the ballroom, they held a ceremony for the Saints. Which was also, a very moving and very knowledgeable ceremony, even though I wasn't there for most of it. After I left confessions and did my penance, I was about to walk into the ballroom when I saw two of my roommates. Both of them on the floor, one crouched down while holding the other one down as she was having a seizure. They did have other people around then also holding her down and calling her parents. Gladly, she was okay, they did call an ambulance and they took her to the hospital. She was released the next day and was able to join us for the rest of the weekend, with her parents keeping a close eye on her and also getting a room in the hotel. In all, it was a very interesting way to start off an amazing weekend.
Saturday was really moving, even though I did only have 30 minutes of lovely sleep. But I woke up at 6:30 and ran to take a shower so I could get ready for the day ahead of me. After I finished getting ready I went to go get the breakfast that they had brought for us and then run downstairs to go buy Starbucks in the lobby. By the time my friend and I got back to the rooms we had to go to the ballroom, for mass was about to start. Let me just tell you, trying save seats for your church while you also have over 2200 people trying to find seats for their churches as well, can get a little hectic. But in all honesty, that made it really exciting. The day was filled with speakers talking to us, about the Lord himself, that we need to let him into our lives. Many of them bringing a lot of us to tears, and also having us subconsciously nod our heads in agreement to what they were preaching to us about. Although before lunch I believe, I was falling asleep and was so desperate to wake up. So after we were released from the ballroom to transition to lunch, I ran down stairs to buy a RedBull. (Which woke me up like there was no tomorrow!) Now towards the end of the day we had Adoration, and the feeling you get when they come in with the body of Christ... I was on my knees, crying, because the feeling was just so much. I loved it, having that warm feeling inside. It isn't something you experience everyday! Especially when you haven't really been on the best terms with your faith. But that experience during Adoration was just amazing, so moving and I couldn't have been more happy to have those feelings. And as we finished Adoration and had our announcements and soon after release us, the feeling didn't leave. Which still brings tears to my eyes. That was an amazing way to end the second day of such a wonderful retreat.
Sunday, we were awaken really early, 6:00 am to be exact. We were given breakfast and left to get ready for mass, which was at 8 am. We were having mass with Cardinal DiNardo and they also handed out some awards. We ended that conference with so much love and respect for our Lord, with many teens leaving with the fact they have been touched but the Holy Spirit. Everyone happy to have been able to attend and enjoy their weekend in such a wonderful way.
When I get back to the church I called my mother, as soon as she picked me up I told her that I had a blast. That I hope I will be able to be given the chance to go next year. Because next year will be my last year to attend as apart of the youth. I would have to wait four years and then chaperone for the kids in the youth group. Something that I hope I will be able to do, but also I want to be able to experience that excitement one more time apart of the youth.
This weekend was simply amazing, one for the books! I'm glad and thankful to be able to be apart of something great like that. And now, to live life the way the Lord wants me to!
Goodnight/ Goodmorning xx.
