Mexico

So I have come to the deiscion to write about my Mexican adventures from when i went in march.

3 week before we left, i ripped out my large purple suitcase and matching carryon and lugged it upstairs. i packed everything i needed, tanks, bathing suits, shorts, and sundresses, flip flops and sunscreen and just about anything you need for a trip to an exotic trip.

 Since This was our first stay at the royal decameron. We didn't know what to expect, so we looked on reviews on here. Everything was amazing. You're first impression will be "What should i start with?"

Food: the food was amazing! there are multiple snack bars and lunch places. The workers where really nice, tip or not. if you go for a few times, they'll remember your drink order. The food was tasty. At the Rodizio snack bar, they have thin pizza. At all of them, I'm guessing they have fries. the fries are WAY better then mcdonalds (I'm a huge fan of mcdonalds). They serve fresh fruit, and alot of juice choices for breakfast. Some may suprise you. At the japanese Ala carte, they have an icecream cart at lunch. There are endless choices. the only problem was the times for the meals. I heard you'll never go hungry here. Which is true, but unless you want to wait for a while to have some food.

Ala carte: The alacarte was amazing! we checked out the italian (piccolos), The brazilian (Rodizio) and the mexican. The italian was nice. Everything was decorated so nicely. The food choices were alot, and the deserts were really tempting. I would suggest going to this one, because everything is fast served, so you don't have to wait to long. I would suggest going with the cheesecake (its not really creamy its more cake like).  The brazilian was my 2nd favorite (italians the first). i'm a meat lover so this was amazing. they serve 6 types of meat. If your a vegetarian. the only thing you would be able to eat is the grilled Pineapple and the food at the salad bar. . The mexican one was good. but it was really spicy and not alot of choices on the menu. but the waiters where friendly, and served chips, Salsa and Guacamole while we were waiting for our food.

rooms: The room where amazing. We were in Block 6. The beds where hard but comfortable for me. the rooms were really clean, the sheets weren't itchy. The maids cleaned everyday and brought us a big waterbottle. To get clean towels, we just throw them on the floor. theres no shelf in the shower, so we took the table from the balconey in there. the only problem was the maids sometimes cleaned the room in the afternoon. Was a stress when we needed to get our bathing suits or money.

beach: The beaches where clean, and there are beach vendors, if you don't want to look just say "no gracias". You can rent out a boogey board and other stuff at a shack. boogy boarding is fun, but i got scrapes along my leg. there are no Sharks, jellyfish or stingrays, so it gives you the feel of a lake. There are plenty of chairs, so  we just go in the early morning to get a good spot.

Shows: we haven't gone to much shows so i can't really talk about it. We went to one and my first impression was "This should be on broadway" it was nicely done, with good music and good dancers, and a good time. We loved going to the kareoke by the lounge. it's run by staff, who are insanely funny. They have more like rock band, and a mini disco.

We stayed here for one week. and it was the best week of our lives!

Caramilk life and death

So, if you read "A real menagerie" that my cousin writes, you would hear about my sweet guinea pig caramilk. A few weeks ago my mom found her flat as a pancake in her cage. let me tell you about her, Caramilk was the sweetest guinea pig ever, i got her when i was 9 or ten. I was at the mall, getting ready to spend 30 dollars on some new school clothes. After i found nothing me and my mom went into pet land, where we looked at the puppies. While looking at the rabbits and mice, i noticed the Guinea pigs where on sale, for 30 dollars!

I asked my mom and we came to an agreement. I was going to buy a brown guinea pig, as the store owner said a nice one. but i was drawn to one that was dark brown with a light brown mask and tummy. I held her and realised her ear was shredded, both of them. the store owner said she was a mean one, but in my arms, she was sweet. She was very tiny as well. i bought her along with a blue igloo. I was going to name her teddy, but the name Caramilk suited her better, since she was the colours of a caramilk bar.

once i brought her home, we set up an enclosure downstairs. I taught caramilk how to drink out of a bottle and eat from her dish. Also how to climb through things. i remember she would always climb into my skirt.  We moved her to a glass cage, and soon she was welcomed into the family. As the years went on, she grew up and i grew up. I began to lose interest in her, since school was getting harder, she started growing mats and her nails began to get long.

So a few weeks ago we gave her a shave and a bath and clipped her toenails. Then we gave her lettuce. A week before that she didn't even touch her lettuce or her water or food. We knew something was wrong since she had Gray hairs. And she didn't even go near her lettuce. the next day we found her flat on her food dish and that was the end of poor Caramilks life. RIP caramilk 2009-2012

me and caramilk (when i first got her) BFFS!

Born from fire chapter 2

i woke up in a tent. i was a big tent, filled with silver pillows and a brazier in the centre. I was lying on some pillows with a silver blanket draped over me. I pushed it off and sat up. my head was throbbing and i felt weak to the bone.The curtains pushed back a beautiful girl stepped in. She was about 12 or 13, and had blonde hair tied in a side braid. her was thick and i envied her for that. She wore  a Greek goddess crown, and wore white skinny jeans, a silver top under a parka. her eyes glittered silver.

"So she has awoken" She said smoothly, and walked out. She came back in with, wait was that Aaron? Aaron looked different, his golden hair was a mess, and he wore a Laurel. he also wore a Greek tunic, and his skin illuminated gold. "Welcome to Camp Achilles Bella, I'm am Artemis, goddess of the hunt and moon" the girl said softly. Artemis gestured for Aaron to go next. " And I am Apollo, God of the sun and music" Aaron said. Artemis and Apollo, they were twins. I gave a really intelligent answer, "uh" Apollo laughed and helped me up. "maybe she needs food" he suggested. Artemis waved her hand a a small table appeared. on it was a slice of pizza, a golden Chalice with apple juice looking liquid inside, and a plate with what looks like a lemon square with Graham crackers crumbled on top.

"Nectar and Ambrosia" Artemis said, reading my thoughts. i ate the pizza, and gingerly had some ambrosia. it tasted like jello vanilla pudding. After, my muscles tingled, and my skin felt hot. But i still felt strong, the nectar had the same effect. my clothes were burned, and dirty, but i took no notice. they led me out into an open field. it was nice, the field was green, and flowers and clovers dotted here and there. But then i noticed kids with Swords, spears and bows. they were fighting dummies, riding unicorns, and spearing things. I shrunk back, as Artemis explained, how i was half human half god. And this was where I'll be training.

It took awhile to sink, so Artemis got a girl my age to help me choose my weapon. She had chocolate brown hair to her elbows, Glittering Auburn eyes, and olive skin. Shw wore tattered jeans, and a red top over a leather apron. her hands were smeared with oil and grease. "Hey i'm Cardinal daughter of hephaestus" She said grinning. "Bella" i said quietly. She took my arm and led me to a worn out shed, with a tin roof. "here just choose your weapon" She said her voice quavering. " i don't know what to do" i said wincing. She stifled a laugh. So i closed my eyes and took a deep breath. i was drawn toward a sword voered with a tarp. I pulled off the tarpo, and gasped. it was a sword made out of silver, with a glittering Diamond hilt. If i put it agaisnt my leg from the bottom of the hilt, the edge would reach my knee.

i strange word was etched on the side. Κυδοσ. "kudos" i read out loud. "it means fame and glory, and compliments" Cardinal said. i smiled. This was my new sword. Cardinal gave me the grand tour, there was a pavilion to eat, and lots of choices for training. She took my by the cabins. three were on a ledge, and the others made a U around them. The first was was made out of white marble, it had silver doors, with two big lightning bolts and a glass roof. The doors had Ζευσ written on them. it meant Zeus. The other looked like crystal except you could see through it. It had a small pond, and dock in the back. The doors were blue and had Ποσειδαν written on it. Which is poseidan. The other one was dark, made out of black marble, its doors were big, and had Ηαδεσ written in gold on it. it was the cabin for hades. "no one lives in these cabins" Cardinal sighed.

With that we moved on. my first class was greek class, and i had to write down all the greek gods and goddess in greek. it was fairly easy, since i was a half blood. Ζευς, ποσιεδαν, ηαδες, ηερα, ηεστια, Δεμτερ, Απροδιτε, Αρες, Αρτεμις, Ατηενα, ηεπηαεστυς, ηερμες. but there was one thing i worried about, which one was my parent?

MEXICO: Q AND A

Hey, so as promised i'm doing a q and a. i got some questions
From: Zookeeper

Q.Was there horse riding at the resort?

A. No there wasn't, although just down the street was a ranch. And we did go Horseback riding. Funny story, I wanted the fun, spirited horse, so i got a horse named Shakira, my parents didn't care, so dad got bambi, and my mom got Chimera. Okay, So Shakira was slow and kept bumping me into cars, and she stopped completely behind a car, and wanted to jump of this little ledge (maybe the a few inches high). Bambi was a faster horse, well a fast walker, and liked to do his buisness alot. And Chimera, well was a crazy horse. She kept prancing, and stopping to eat trees, and flowers. i remember we were doing it and a chihuahua charged me.

 Q.Did you get to see sea turtles?

Sadly no, I think it was at another part of the beach. But luckily i saw a washed up puffer fish and and an eel. And i saw alot of cool animals, like black birds with yellow eyes, and lots of iguanas I wanted to see them, but they never showed up

 QHow long did it take to fly to Mexico?

it took about 4:40-5:00 hrs.

Born from Fire Chapter 1

I've never understood any of my life, i never knew why my parents left me. i'm in foster care, and move from family to family and school to school. Right now, i was with a couple, Aaron and hailey. They lived here in Chicago and sent me to a military boarding school. You know, they type that wears combat boots, layered gray skirts up our knees, white blouse with grey vests and red ties.

my name is Bella, I have wavy black hair, red streaks, and black eyes. I leaned agaisnt my locker  and sighed. Tomorrow i'd leave back to Aaron and haileys penthouse for 2 weeks. i was with my 3 friends, honey, kaitlyn, and kyra. Us 3 were all different, everyone here was Athletic or smart. Well i'm dyslexic, ADHD, and i was only good at gymnastics. But me and them we're alll Goth/Emo. Honey had blonde hair cut in a wedge, that went with her jawline. She had green eyes, but were hidden under thick eyelashes coated with mascara. her eyes were always outlined in kohl or liquid eyeliner, and lots of black eyeshadow. She always wore fishnet arm warmers, and fishnet leggings.

kaitlyn and kyra were twins, although nobody knew. Kaitlyn has dark black hair down to her shoulders. She always wore a hat backwards. She had electric green eyes (contacts). She always wore thick false eyelashes, liquid eyeliner, and a little black eyeshadow. She wore black and grey striped arm warmers, right from her fingers to her middle upper arm. Kyra looked nothing like Kaitlyn, She had bright red hair, emo style, she died her hair. Blue eyes, usualy with some black eyeliner, and lots of black eyeshadow. She wore a dog collar around her neck.

We are all chilling around my locker, waiting for the bell to ring, signaling classes were over. " So me and Kyra are going back to new york" kaitlyn said shifting nervously. " oh thats cool" i responded. "Not really, we just live in a apartment not one of those nice houses" Kyra said rolling her eyes slightly. Honey chuckled, "Going back to vancouver, is way worse. Not like Bella, living the highlife in a penthouse" Honey added. i shrunk back. Kaitlyn and Kyra eyed me. I garbbed my backpack and slung it over one shoulder, and shrugged. "its not like I'll be there for long, so so what?" I replied.

Claire, trotted up to us. Claire was a high honor student, who loved to waste time with us Riff raffs. She had dirty blonde hair to her elbows, gray eyes, and usualy wore a barrete pulling her bangs back, and glasses. "Bella, heard your leaving" She said with a crazy grin. I shrugged, "yeah and?" I asked. She smiled again. " Oh just wondering". Honey raised an eyebrow. " What are you hiding Claire?" She asked. Claire leaned over and whispered something in honeys ear. her face brightened. "Oh just go to the art room" Claire said. I nodded suspiciouly and walked away.

When i got to the art room, i noticed a tall blonde haired guy looking out the big windows. he turned and his sea green eyes shimmered. it was Zack Caston, the school jock. "hey Bella" he said nervously. i turned to leave but he sprinted up to me and pushed the door closed. "What do you want Zack, to pour your fruit smoothie all over me again" I spat. He shook his head and chuckled. i took a few steps back and crossed my arms. " Bella, i was wondering if we could hang out over the 2 weeks" He said quietly. "if your asking me out, then i'm not interested" i growled and walked out. he called me, but i just kept walking.

The bell rang, and i skirted around the hoards of people and into the bathroom. I changed into an outfit i had in my bag. A black baggy top over a black cami. the top had blood red marks, like a tiger shredded it. Fishnet arm warmers. black shorts with a silver chain, Fishnet leggings, and the combat boots. i redid my eyeliner, and went to meet outside with Honey. Honey looked fresher, with a red tank top, black leather jacket, black jeggings and high leather heel boots. her her had a little top hat headband. "Digging the new outfit bell, what did Zack want?" She asked. "He was trying to ask me out" i grumbled. her mouth opened. "oh so the Jock and the goth" She laughing. I shook my head, "turned him down" i replied sullenly.

Kyra walked up to us, she wore a short black dress, black leggings, brown combat boots, and a white fur shrug. Kaitlyn followed her wearing a red halter top, diamond choker, black shorts and flip flops. We all climbed on the bus. Since i lived in Chicago i was the first to go. I waved good bye to my freinds, before heading down the dusty street. i finaly came to the apartment, and took the elevator to the 24th floor. once i got there, i dropped my bag on the ground. "i'm back!" i said. Aaron was chilling on the couch, strumming a guitar as if it was no big deal. hailey was in the kitchen probably making cookies. hailey came out, her chocolate brown hair pulled in a bun, and a white dress, with a black apron. aaron had shaggy blonde hair and green eyes.

Hailey held a tray with choclate chip cookies, and coke. i helped myself before plopping on the couch.  "hey kid" aaron said grufly. he put away his guitar and pulled out a greek textbook. he scoffed and huffed a few times while he read. hailey was busy dusting and stuff. The hailey whipped out of her pocket a necklace. it had a brown stone pendat on it. " We got you a gift!" She delcared. Aaron looked up at her and signaled her not to give it. i eyed it. She dropped it in my lap. and then walked away as if to say welcome back heres a present, like it was checked off a to do list. Strage words were etched on both sides, one said Βελλα ροσε ωολφ, and the other said Δαυγητερ οφ τηε Δεαδ, Σπιριτ οφ τηε ωολφ. Δαυγητερ οφ φιρε, δαυγητερ οφ δαρκνεσσ. i realized the first side, said bella rose wolf, the other said Daughter of the dead, spirit of the wolf, daughter of fire, daughter of darkness. it was in greek, but if i concentrated it turned into english. I heard a sizzling sound and weird writings that were etched on the door burned. it said ηψδρα. Hydra.

i heard of greek legends. the hydra was a three headed serpant thing. if you cut off one head, two grow back. And it materilized right in front of me. Aaron grabbed his guitar and a burst of light and heat shot out from it. After that he was dressed in a greek tunic, his skin was illuminated. haileys hair feel down, and she also wore a tunic amnd her hair was plated with gold. She eyed me, "put it on". the hydra roared, and began to walk towards me. Quickly i put on the necklace.προτεξτ burned above my head. protect. i felt stronger but them something shot me out of the window, as the building exploded. and i fell 24 storys down.

Mexico

So, I have found out that its hard to explain abou Mexico! So to everyone who's reading this, please leave questions in the comments below, then i'll have a mexico Q and A!

Remember to stay tuned, I'll be starting a new story called "Born from fire" Ive been interested in Greek mythology, so i started learning about it. I understand ALOT  of it. So just stay tuned.

My depressing week

So far, this week has been really tough and unacceptable to me. And as you are probably guessing it's been a bad week, well I'm using the term depresssing. First of all I'd like to talk about how this has all started. EXAMS!

Next week I have a math and Ela exam, mid terms. The ela one is on Monday, i'm not freaking out that one because it's writing, reading and grammar. My brothers and parents say I have a deep passion for writing, which I thoroughly believe. The math exam is on Thursday, I'm freaking out about that one for sure. My math tutors on vacay so I have to study on my own. It's everything we have been laerning since the beggining. My brain can't
sort out information fast so it takes forever for me to completely register or take I'm something. Which I believe is a little bit of dyslexia, I wouldn't be suprised since I
have glasses which I only use for distance.

The second thing is well I hate to say it but Arrow has passed on. I'm very upset and
angry because I blame my friend, and I have every right to suspect her. So that made my week all the more worse.

And that's all, my week has been extremly depressing, and I'm exhausted so I'll post asap.
