I came across an article in the 'Los Angeles Times' about how 'Tangled' Disney's new Princess movie will be the last fairy tale produced by Disney. Because Disney feels that children (girls) no longer desire to be princesses waiting around for their prince charming to come along and sweep them off their feet. They feel that 5-6 year olds want to be "cool" and "hot" and they also believe that children care more about movies such as Iron Man and Transformers and I quote "To be honest, that's who we're all competing with on some level.
SERIOUSLY???? What a disappointment that Disney is quitting what they are best at! But they are the one's to blame, where the heck are the cartoons?
For 6 years i have been watching the kind of shows my little sister (Brigitte) watches and besides PBS kids and other educational channels, cartoons no longer play an important role in children lives. Shows like 'Hanna Montana' and 'Wizards of Waverly Place' have taken over. Which is fine (i guess) i do have to admit that I've gotten hooked on them as well but i just wish she would have a favorite cartoon to watch.
Mesmerizing on my own childhood experience i remember rushing home after school to watch Disney cartoons like 'My little Pony', 'Gummy Bears', 'Duck Tales', 'Doug' and 'Pokemon' to name a few. Those are great memories that i shall always cherish. Cartoons were so much fun, filled with adventures and morals. Our generation has such a large variety of shows 'Bobby's World', 'The Pinky and the Brain', Power Rangers etc... I will never forget how much i wanted to the be the pink power range. But those days are long gone Disney's most popular shows include difficult topics like Work, family Drama and RELATIONSHIPS.
Just the other day Brigitte was watching an episode of 'Hanna Montana' in which Jake is two timing Miley and she's going to confront him, another example is that of 'Wizards of Waverly Place' Alex Russo is debating on giving up her powers just to be with her werewolf boyfriend (Mason). What are these shows teaching children or should i say girls? I do get it that times have changed and some kids out there are dealing with real life issues; but i just wish networks like Disney would promote cartoons as much as they promote Hanna.
Children as young as kindergartners have become so violent and promiscuous, and i do say this from experience. Last year all through Brigitte's Kindergarten year i would volunteer once a week and the things those kids would say were simply horrifying. Young boys (5 year old's) were talking about boobs, sex and fights. Girls were no exception either they were already fighting over the cutest boy in class and how he had all ready kiss them in the mouth.
I strongly feel that Brigitte is to young to be concentrating on relationship issues she's 6 for goodness sake and yeah it would be easy just to turn off the T.V but what else is on. This is her t.v time and by the time she gets home 'Curious George' and 'Arthur' are long gone. My parents and i do our best to go out and rent her cartoons and education shows but there's so much we can do at the end of the day she wants to watch what every one else is watching. Because there is no telling what would happen if she's the only 1st grader who didn't get to watch the latest episode of 'Hanna Montana.' I sure hope Disney reconsiders their decision. I love the fairy tale stories i grew up with 'Aladdin' and 'Beauty and Beast' it's important for girls to want to be princesses once in their life. I do love the wonderful Work of Disney's Pixar (animation has taken over cartoons. But these are all in good taste. I sure hope that when I have children of my own, that they get to have a pleasant innocent childhood with cartoons or animated shows that teach education values.

The tradition lives on!
It's Friday evening and I'm freezing!!!!!! I can't seem to get warm up my nose and hands are cold as ice.
I've been doing pretty good, although I haven't been resting to much and i can now see and feel that my body is asking me to stop pushing it. I've been here and there and everywhere. So now my cut is hurting quite a bit, not extremely painful but an awkward tugging and pulling sensation specially when i swallow. Hadn't felt like this before but i guess i just need to rest a bit more to fully recover. Anyways so i'm feeling a bit depressed maybe its the weather (gloomy, foggy, winter just my favorite season of the year!) or maybe its just me. I still haven't gotten my voice back at all, in the morning its quite louder than during the rest of the day. But i can't scream or shout one bit, it is so low that i have to constantly repeat myself over and over again. I feel like i'm deaf and mute, at times i can't even hear my own words they fade away in the air. So it's annoying me i have to whistle or snap my fingers so my own family can pay attention to me. I really hope i get it back soon because it's becoming quite a struggle. ahhh! I sound so annoying!!!!
So let my try and lighten the mood, with my Harry Potter tradition. As you may know its about that time of the year when Harry, Ron, and Hermione continue their quest to defeat "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named."
Well ever since The Harry Potter film Saga began my sister and i have had a tradition of watching the very first showing at midnight, meaning that we purchase the tickets a month in advanced or as soon as they start selling them and we head to our favorite theater (Winetka) at 6pm sharp to wait in line so we can get great seats to watch it at midnight. Why? well because we simply can't wait! So as you might of guess im a big fan of Harry Potter i've read all 7 books and frankly its by far my favorite fantasy novel series. I love it and i find that J. K. Rowling is simply a genius! My sister is also a big fan, although she's never been interested in reading the books but she loves the films.
So we meet Harry Potter at midnight, and i thought it would change this year because of my surgery. I had told my sister that we wouldn't be doing the midnight screening because i wouldn't be able to handle the whole sitting in line for more than 5 hours in the cold. But she went out and bought the tickets anyway. The whole week i had this huge dilemma "to go or not to go" that was the question. I wasn't too sure but Thursday came around (btw it was my wonderful mother's birthday yesterday) and i just packed a bunch of fruits, got my mittens, sweaters, boots, pillows and blanket and headed to the line. To our surprise the line was already massive by that time. The waiting was very annoying i kept getting so impatient and i was freezing scared that i would hurt my cut from the position i had my head. But we managed and luckily the theater had pity on us and let us in at 10:30 pm so we were able to stay warm for the remaining hour and half.
The crowd was unstoppable as soon as everyone had claim their seats people started clapping their hands and stumping their feet, some had even brought beach balls to throw around. Oh and did i mention the costumes??? Wow very impressive well some had awesome robes with the Griffindor, or slytherin scarf or tie. There were Harry Potter Shirts, pants, shoes, sweaters, scarfs, etc.......... but didn't see anyone with what i had.
WALLAH!!!!!!!!!!! (and i don't meant the 'I swear to God' in Arabic one) lol
My Harry Potter inspired nails featuring Harry's owl
Hedwig, the Griffindor colors (although it looks black
but it's not) and The Nimbus 2000 (Harry's Broom)
I hand painted everything. I must say i'm very proud of how it came out. I used OPI Polish (which by the way is my favorite nail polish) so I posted it to the OPI fan page on Facebook and fans usually comment and stuff and i got so many wonderful comments but i was so impressed that OPI itself commented on my nails and they rarely comment. OPI said: "These are phenomenal" so that definitely was the highlight of my day.
Well back to the movie, the clock stroked 12:00 am and the movie began, cheers and applause's followed
loud shouts of "i love you Harry." The movie like always didn't disappoint seeing all the main characters on screen again was the best. The film was just exactly how i had imagined upon reading the book. The right length and pace. It was just what i expected it to be. I had an amazing time and i'm so glad we were able to keep our tradition live all thanks to my sister Andrea. So thank you Andielapirata for pushing me to go I love you! Now i can't wait to re-live our tradition for the second part of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' scheduled to be released July 15, 2011.
I'm really tired since we got back like at 3 in the morning but it was so worth it.
Well goodnight and thank you for stopping by!

My one week progress!
Hello, I've been doing really good my recovery period is going so well, my family is being fantastic about it they won't let me lift a plate. I should really enjoy these moment of laziness lol!
But i miss my daily routine, It's been a week and my surgery still hasn't hurt one bit. There's the occasional back pain and the stab in the neck and choking on myself . But other than that I'm doing so well. Thank you to every one's prayers and good luck.
I would like to thank my mother, above all doesn't leave my side, she's been amazing with all this despite that she herself has an illness she has Rheumatoid Arthritis and I've seen her symptoms but despite all that she's taking this like a pro cooks for me every day makes sure i have everything i need. It's just incredible, don't get me wrong my dad is doing everything he can as well just like the rest of the family. But my mother goes above and beyond for me and i thank God every day for her. She bought me these beautiful flowers that now decorate my room.
A gift from Mama!
My Aunt Lupita also gave me a beautiful flower decoration she did herself.. That I now treasure in my room as well.
I'm very blessed to have a great family and friends. I cannot thank you enough. I'm so happy to be home
this whole week has been wonderful specially at night all i need is my chamomile calm tea and i sleep like a baby the whole night.
I know it's probably to premature to be doing my nails but my obsession for nail polish is just terrible and my polishes looked so sad i just had to use them. I dedicate this design to my Thyroid i call it my missing bow.
off to be I go. Thank you for stopping by. Till next time! Many Blessings.

A surgery story!
I guess it's time to share my story about the experience in the hospital. First of all if you haven't been following my blog i had my surgery at the Northridge Hospital in Northridge.
Courtesy of Goggle.
It's quite big and about 25 minutes from my house. My surgeon was Dr. Kerner and his partner Dr. Accomozzo (I highly recommend them.) They made me feel as comfortable as i could be from the very beginning.
So on Friday the 5th i arrived at 8:30am to the surgery station. They already had my wrist band with all my information ready. I just had to go to the second surgery station to my bed. It was very scary all the bed's
lined up and a few patients recovering or getting ready for surgery. The nurse's were very nice gave me my
bear paw gown and socks. Started getting me ready with paperwork and all those fun stuff. I was still
really calm (which i still don't know how i did it) because the calmness that i had was very admirable
specially that the surgery was my biggest fear. (I was terrified of the surgery i didn't know if my body would be able to handle it and i just kept thinking if maybe that was the end of me) But i managed all the prayers
helped me to let go of my fears in that instant.
After-wards the nurses started to get me very anxious because they couldn't find my vein it went from Katherine to, Jill and Mary to try one after the other poking me to start the Ivy, they even used a vein finder and still couldn't do it. So it frustrated me i started seeing it as a sign that maybe i shouldn't do it. But i still tried to keep my cool. Finally the Anesthesiologist arrived and even he had to give it two tries to finally find my vein. Hurray i was ecstatic that finally they had found it but my arms were already in a lot of pain from them trying. Ming very drowsy but it scared me when he started to grab my arms and put them together with a belt. (I'm claustrophobic and that shit don't fly with me lol) but there wasn't much i could do because the oxygen mask came on before i could even say anything.
From there on everything became a blur it felt like a second. I then woke up in the recovery room i could only make out words. It felt like time was standing still. But a few more nurses came got me ready to take me to my room. The room was pretty spacious but my bed was the worst effiin bed killed my back. Not even all the pillows that i asked for helped.
The worst bed ever (I won't miss you one bit)
The cable was horrible i couldn't find anything interesting to watch. At least there was a week long marathon of 'The Nanny' so nanny Fran kept me some company!
Worst thing were having the drainage hanging from my neck and the ivy and being woken up every three hours for blood work was horrible. I couldn't eat i still can't because i choke when i try. I was on vicodin, antibiotics and calcium. Even getting up the bathroom was a struggle i would get dizzy. The nurses kept telling me to stay but i wanted out i was so thrilled when Dr. Kerner said that if i wanted to i could leave. So i did said bye bye to that awful bed and now im happy to be home. I know look like a cristal meth user but it's all good.

The 5th of November
My goodness finally the 5th of November i can't tell you enough how long i have been anticipating for this day to arrive. I will be having my Thyroidectomy done tomorrow.
Surprisingly I'm very good, I'm feeling very positive and now i just can't wait till this is all over so i can come home and rest. These last few weeks have been filled with horrible mood swings and a lot of insomnia. I haven't been able to sleep much at night it has taken me about 2-4 hours of tossing and turning in my bed to finally fall asleep, but despite all that i have been distracting myself from all of this. This particular week was filled with last minute appointments to the hospital and to my doctor but all is just procedure to insure that I will be good for the surgery. Everything has come out really well and i guess I'm pretty healthy and completely ready!
So have to hit the hay early today, gotta wake up early since i have to arrive at the hospital at 8:30 am (2 hours prior to the surgery) But i am well and very happy that the day has finally arrived.
I will be posting before and after pictures once i have recovered, in the mean time i will be on vicodin for about 2 weeks or depending on how bad and severe the pain is.
thank you for all the support i have received.
xoxo Karla!
