Moved Again
All right, so I haven't posted in quite a bit, but let me try to recap what's happened in...apparently the last 21 days since my last post. :P
So, first off, I couldn't get into the college I was planning to go to, because they didn't accept the SATs. However, next semester I will be signing up for another (I think better) university that should accept it, although it's a little more expensive (though they seem to be more technologically advanced than the other colleges). Looks like I'll be going for Graphic Design right off the bat, instead of my original plan of studying a small technical career for a few years. If I'm gonna spend some years, it might as well be on a complete career and with something I really wanted to try, not just a course that I think I'd be good at. ;)
What else...I probably have a bunch of stuff on Facebook (where, I was recently able to find a lot of my old schoolmates from Elementary School! :D) that would talk about anything that's happened lately...except:
I saw Transformers Sunday. It was awesome. Robot action is awesome. Optimus Prime is awesome.
Lastly, we just moved in to the new apartment (a few blocks from the old townhouse) and so far we've only encountered these major problems:
AC Pains - The way AC works here, is you have the small AC box in a hole in a wall in each room. Unfortunately, the socket for my AC in my room blew up, my sister's wall opening for the AC was too small for her old AC, and my dad's NEW AC blew up too.
Entertainment Center - It didn't fit. We are on the 4th floor, and the elevator here is tiny, just enough to fit about 5 adults. The only other option is a small staircase that is about 2.5 feet wide, so to twist a 5 foot wide center up is impossible. For now, it sits in one of our 4 parking spaces. ;)
Internet - It seems our DSL is not set up yet, HOWEVER we are taking another Wimax trial (search my blog for Wimax for an explanation and story on what happened last time) but to summarize (and conclude, so I can get to bed), this is awesome. The speed is exactly what is advertised, I miss this type of speed.
Anyway, I'll get photos of the new place soon. Good night.

Red
Whoa. Haven't posted in almost a month. Oh well, I come back with PLENTY of photos to make up for it. Have a look HERE and HERE! :D
Let me sum up a little:
So we've been going to a youth group for almost 2 months now. It is a BIG youth group, I'm guessing around...100 or more. Anyway, it's big enough that there seems to be little "networks" over here, or what we attempted at one point with the "accountability groups" in REEL, except these groups (at least mine) has around 25 or more people. :P
Anyway, the first week we went to the youth group, we were greeted by some of the group members, some of which have become our closer friends. So, here we goes...
Here are a couple of the members. The 3 girls sitting down are sisters. From left to right are Adrianna, Lisette, and Karolina. Karolina and Adrianna were some of the first people I met at the group. The first 2 weeks, me and Giselle left pretty quickly after the youth service ended, but on the third one, Adrianna and Karolina caught us, and were able to talk to both of us (mainly Adrianna with Giselle, Karolina interrogating me). Anyway, these sisters have become some of our closer friends here.
As for my fellow males, I've also met 2 funny gringo-wannabes. Here, on the most right, is Cristian. He is a master butcher of the English language, and now greets us (and purposely annoys Giselle) with a loud "HALLO!" all the time. X-)
Another dude who was within the first group I met is Alex, a.k.a Palito (meaning "small stick"). Palito is even skinner than me, and also seems to like and dabble in some English. He likes to sing and dance, and he is very quick with making jokes out of the conversation. He also seems to be quite the ladies' man, but he probably has nothing on Michael. ;P You can see him above, the first one to the left of me.
Last but not least, the leader of our little network group, Hugo! Small in stature, but big in heart (kinda like Jose! :D), Hugo is a really cool dude, with a mysteriously unknown age, and a lot of youthful energy. Anyway, we've been hanging out more and more over the past weeks, and just last Sunday they all invaded my house, so you can go check out the small albums on my Facebook.
