    Chica don´t kill yourself, sleep enough, RELAX, you need to take care of your mind and your body, go get your nails done with a friend...keep your body moving, have some fun! go out, go listen to a fresh band, have some drinks, dance (you know you love it!), get away from loosers and guys that - deffinely!- doesn´t deserve you, learn to recognize who is who, don´t hyde the fact that you are smart just because you think guys rather empty girls, that´s so not true (come on think this: If you have to pretend you´re dumb to have a conversation with the cutes boy in Cumana, them the guy doesn´t worth it...he´s an idiot, you will get tired of him pretty soon).

   Don´t waist your time with narrow people, separe yourself from nasty girls, they are skanky, smoke is not attractive, clothes should cover your body!, sex is not for you yet, a boy that respect you will understand that; you know you prefer inteligent and ambitios..(and cute!) boys, look for the one that treats you like a princess (that you are), respects you and makes you laught, try to find a sensitive person ´cause you love romance and tenderness sometimes, you know that you melt for musicians and futbol players, but they can be jerks too and you, have, proves... don´t be naive, don´t try to change the guy, show him love if he shows you that his seriously in love with you, don´t be mean to him, never forget that friendship is the key, If he make a minor mistake and he is sorry forgive him, If he lie to you and doesn´t treat you right BRAKE UP!

   Keep you autoesteam high, If you make a mistake or things doesn´t go as you planned IS OK, OK??!! don´t be so hard with yourself, I know you are a perfectionis, but remember that you are human. No one is better than anybody, but some people work and get things done.

   Always keep your head up, Stand up for yourself, Stand up for your friends and keep them close They love you, you know?!, You are important to them, They will always be there for you So do your thing and: Be a loyal friend, when they need you, be there. Be yourself and make them laught, you are a crazy funny girl and that´s what makes you so nice to have around..

   Please, don´t be so arrogant and: LISTEN. you are still so young, and your parents are just trying to help you, they doesn´t meant to hurt you, they just want you to be safe and - more than anything- happy. Show them you can handle the future, listen to their advices but never blame them or use them as an excuse for failure, choose your own fights, and do what you really care about.

   You love music; it has been your play mate, your lover, your crying towel!* (haha) so never abandon it, keep studing, playing and doing your thing, maybe you are not the best musician and you will never be Yo Yo Ma, Maxine or Yngwie Malmsteen haha, but you know that more than a star, you are a good band member, and play music makes you happy (who cares if you are out of tune sometimes! haha).

   Work hard when you get to college, don´t be affraid of talk in class, specialy at english (you are writing all this in english! and you can say a word in class??? that´s ridiculous!) study and don´t fall sleep in your desk, take your career seriously, respect everybody and be profesional, don´t let injustice happen.

   Someday you´ll be out there, traveling the world, visiting amazing places, talking to different people, looking great like always, doing you dream job and getting recognized; but remember, right now, there is not last goal, and there is always the possibility of getting better, change your mind, or discover something or someone new and different...

   So, keep your options and your eyes open. Remember: "life is too short to be anything but happy, so kiss slowly, love deeply, forget quickly, give everything, have no regrets, and forget the bad in the past, just remember what all its taught you!"

 I see through the people, for the people are glass people. The people are false people and glass people (it is clear glass and I see right through them as if they were specters). The people could easily be shattered: they are delicate and fragile and made of glass (I look through them as I look through windows). They have nothing inside of them and they are false representations of people (they are not people). They are glass people. They are false people. And so I say, "Certainly these are not people."

You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black why, the tallest guy of the NBA is chinese, the swiss hold the America´s cup, France is accusing the U.S of arrogance, Germany doesn´t want to go to war, and three most powerful men in America are named ´Bush´, ´Dick´ and ´Colon´. Need I say more?
