The show “The Bachelor” gets more entertaining by every episode I watch. There is a girl names Michelle that has some serious self-esteem issues. On the very first night of the show, she was crying like a baby because hadn’t had the chance to talk to Jake yet. I personally think she is unaware of what she had gotten herself into. She has to compete with 24 other beautiful women and getting Jake’s undivided attention is very difficult.
The night of the very first rose ceremony Jake chose some girls that I disapproved of. However, he did keep my favorite three girls: Gia, Allie, and Rosaline. I know it was only the first night of the many rose ceremonies to come, but what does he honestly see in Vienna? In my own opinion she has the word “fake” written all over her face.
The very first week of the show, Allie was given the opportunity to have the very first one on one date with Jake. The look on Michelle’s face was priceless. She was super mad that she did not get the first date. I think the reason why Jake picked Allie for the first one-on-one date is because she made a very good first impression on him. She was so cute in her own way. On the first night, she ripped her bright yellow dress and handled it really well which might have made an impression on Jake.
Their date was absolutely amazing. It was the fairy tale that every girl wants. She is terrified of flying. Since Jake was a pilot, she flew inside his plane for him and I thought that was really big of her to overcome her fear like that just for a guy she was interested in. She wore another bright yellow dress and at first I thought it was the same one! However, this one was different because it was shorter and it was made from silk. After they went on an airplane cruise and landed safely, they had a candle lit dinner under the stars. They had their first kiss at this dinner, and I gasped with excitement. I was so excited for her! After dinner, Jake had another surprise for her. There was a band playing just for the two of them. I cannot remember who the band was, but they did play some great tunes. While the band was playing, they had their first dance followed by many smooches on the lips.
I really think Jake likes Allie. We will just have to see who he is really into throughout the season of the bachelor. By this time I hope he ends up with either Gia or Allie because I think so two girls really fit him well.

Blog # 44: Bachelor
The television show “The Bachelor” is really entertaining this season. Jake, the bachelor was on last season’s “The Bachelorette” but was unfortunately eliminated towards the end. He is now the lucky bachelor of 25 beautiful women.
The first night of the bachelor, I already picked my favorites and already had the girls that I got a bad vibe from. A girl named Christina, who I thought wasn’t exactly “gorgeous” informed the camera man that she was going to be the last woman standing. She also brought a bag of jelly beans for each of the girls and told the ladies it was for them while they were leaving the mansion and going home. Another girl I didn’t like right off the bat was a young 23 year old fake blonde bimbo named Vienna. I didn’t like her for many reasons. For one thing her name was Vienna, and I thought that is just a gross name because a sausage brand is named Vienna too. The main reason why I dislike Vienna so much is because she flat out said she was in love with herself. Someone who has the guts to say on national television that they are in love with themselves really has some serious issues in the real world. It sounded like to me that Vienna was very self centered and spoiled. I got all of this information before I actually even knew her. I will admit that I did judge her. I know it is wrong to judge people, but Vienna doesn’t deserve my respect if she is going to go on television and make herself appear like that. I know my opinion means nothing to her in reality.
The girls that I did like right away were Allie, Gia, and Rosaline. Allie was an all American type of girl with blonde hair and a beautiful face. She seemed like she was really fun to be around and had a bubbly personality. Gia was an extremely gorgeous petite young lady. She had dark brown full body hair and a body of a devil. She was a swimsuit model, which I wasn’t surprised. Her personality was very sweet and she seemed really conservative. She looked like she was a perfect match for Jake. Rosaline was an absolutely gorgeous model who had a face like I’ve never seen before. She almost looked unreal because she was absolutely gorgeous. I couldn’t tell much about how her personality was, but I really liked her at first.
The remaining of “The Bachelor” will continue throughout this week. This show is very interesting to talk about and I wanted to share it with everyone else. I will talk about girls he rejected and drama that Jake will later encounter.

Blog # 43: Sublime Sun
Sublime is a punk-rock band from California formed in the late 1980’s. Sublime means supreme, or not excelled. Therefore, the sun is sublime. One can quickly realize the extent of detail within the sublime sun. The large mushroom structure is in place of the sun’s forehead, signifying drugs among the band members. The skeleton is coming down from the magic mushroom because those are “Psilocybin” mushrooms, which is a poison. The skeleton signifies poison within the body by using the magic mushroom. The left side of the cheek also clearly shows skeletal parts within the sun that appears to be related to death. Underneath the forehead mushroom are depressing slanted eyes. The right eye is in the shape of a fish with its own skeleton directly above it. Above the left eye is a dead flower. These two objects signify the poison in the Ocean of California, related to death. On the right cheek is a devil, which obviously means he can kill you or your dreams. Next to the devil is a worm from what it seems to be from a tequila bottle, which if ingested creates psychedelic effects just as a magic mushroom does. If you look extremely close, you can see a small needle which clearly identifies more drug usage. The band was well known for the amounts of heroine usage among the lead singer, Bradley Nowell who unfortunately overdosed on Heroine. To the left, which creates the jaw-line of the sun is a knife. The knife is a silent but deadly weapon popularly used in California crimes. Finally, at the bottom of the sun, which is located on the chin portion, is a small peace sign which signifies there is still peace even though there is a large portion of death and drugs within the sun.
The sublime sun signifies several different derogatory meanings. The symbols within the sun clearly states death and psychedelic drugs. However, one could easily argue the meaning behind the different symbols within the sun’s appearance. The artist of who created the sun, most likely the lead singer of the band sublime, could have wanted the items in the sun because it meant something directly towards him or the entire band. The mushroom could easily signify nature and earth instead of psychedelic drugs. The skeleton could signify human structures instead of death. The dead fish and the dead flower could signify qualities of life instead of death. The knife could signify protection instead of violence. The needle could signify health instead of shooting up drugs. All these symbols could completely mean the opposite of what they are entitled to mean, to give us more thought about what our opinions are supposed to be.

Blog # 42: CANCUN 10
Thursday was our last “full day” in Cancun and we all wanted to make the best of it. After our morning walk to the Starbucks downtown we headed back up to our resort room to jump into our swimsuits. It was only 9:30 when we headed for the beach and the last thing on our mind was protecting our skin from the sun by wearing sun screen. We had no idea what kind of disaster was headed our way.
Before we walked out to the beach, we stopped at the ice machine to fill our cooler so we could keep our bottled drinks cold. As we were drinking and enjoying the sun rays we took many pictures of us on the beach. I even decided to hand craft a massive sea turtle in the tan sand. It took me approximately 30 minutes to create this masterpiece. I started with the huge shell and then created his head, fins, legs, and tail. This turtle was adorable. By passers walking by even took pictures of the creature. I decided to name the turtle sandy.
We were out on the beach for approximately 6 hours straight. We were drinking nothing but alcoholic beverages which means we were dehydrating ourselves. I started to feel my shoulders and back begin to burn from the dangerous sun rays. My sister and dad showed signs of early sunburn. By this point, sun screen was going to do us no good but we all decided to cake the lotion on our body.
It was getting to be about 4:30 PM and we decided to go upstairs to our room to clean up for dinner. We had plans to go to an authentic Mexican Restaurant and Mexican show that night with Max. We were excited because Max told us that it was like a Mexican Luau.
After we all got ready and waited in the lobby, my sister, dad, and I begin to start shaking with chills. We soaked up so much sun that a normal room temperature was frigid to our body. We were to the point of being miserable. My sister and I were dressed in evening dresses and we both ran upstairs to grab a jacket. I was relieved to have something on my shoulders because I was freezing and uncomfortable.
We traveled on a long bus ride to a horse stable where the show was going to be located at. We all ate dinner that consisted of Mexican tamales, enchiladas, tostadas, rice, beans, and everything you could think of a Mexican would fix. It was delicious! The Mexican show was somewhat boring. It really wasn’t my thing. We were all miserable from shaking with cold chills that we forgot to enjoy the show.
The show lasted an entire 4 hours! I thought I was going to die because I was to the point of hyperventilating. After we finally got to the room we all rushed to the aloe vera that was in our room so we could lather it on. We didn’t want to be miserable on the flight home so we did whatever we could to eliminate our chills.

Blog # 41: CANCUN 9
During our Cancun trip, unfortunately we had a stormy day. Wednesday poured down rain the entire day. We expected that the rain would die down after our morning walk to the nearest starbucks location. After we drank our hot steamy lattes, the rain was still coming down harder than we had expected. To kill some time we went shopping at the gigantic mall that the starbucks was located in. We shopped, shopped, and did some more shopping. We were almost sick of shopping by this point because we have been there for almost 3 hours just going inside all the stores and blowing our money away.
The rain decided to finally calm down right around lunch time. We decided to walk back to our lovely new resort that we were staying at to grab some lunch. We ate at the all inclusive area of our resort. I wasn’t super hungry, but since it was free I decided to pig out! We then went to the travel agents desk to attempt and book a scuba diving excursion for Thursday since that was our last full day there. I knew I did not want to scuba dive on Wednesday since it was stormy and a bit cold. I went to the desk and was disappointed by the news I was told. The young Mexican man said that due to the inclement weather, all the activities were going to be pushed back to Thursday. I was upset because I knew if I did not scuba dive on Thursday, then it would not ever happen. I left disappointed, but my dad reassured to me that since he bought a timeshare the day before, that we would be traveling back to Cancun and that I would be able to scuba dive then! That reassurance from my dad made me super excited, because that meant he would be taking me on another vacation!
We did not do much on Wednesday because of the weather. It was almost a waste of a day! Since we couldn’t go to the beach and lay out on the sand, we decided to hang out together and spend some time with each other. I still had fun with my sister and dad by sharing old funny stories and laughing with each other. That is what a vacation is about, right?
Since Wednesday was St. Patricks day, we all decided to go downtown for dinner and some fun. We walked down to Margaritaville because we heard that was a fantastic place to go, especially for the green holiday. It wasn’t as fun as we expected because everyone was laying low and not being as obnoxious as I expected. Then I realized it was only 5:30. The real fun probably didn’t start until around midnight when all the party hoppers come out. We all were served a bright green margarita on the house and we all enjoyed that. After we ate dinner we shopped around that shopping area because we haven’t been to it yet.
It was getting late and we decided to head back that way we could get up early and head to the beach if the weather was going to allow us to.

Blog # 40: CANCUN 8
My sister and I did not stay at the beach for as long as we had planned. We had some “girl stuff” that we needed to talk about that we were saving especially for Cancun on the Beach when we were alone because we hardly ever get to talk anymore since we do not live together like we did last year at this time. We thought we were on the beach for what seemed forever and finally decided we better go to the room to get ready for the yacht ride with Max.
We got to the room and it was only 5:00 PM! I was upset because we could have enjoyed another hour of fun in the sun. Since this suite was so massive, I was able to get completely ready in one area of the suite while my sister got ready on the other side. I took a thirty minute shower because I knew I had plenty of time to get ready.
My dad was scheduled to get back at the room at 6:00 from playing golf with Manuel. I looked at the clock and it was already 6:30 PM. I went to find my sister in the massive suite to see if she knew why it was taking so long for dad and Manuel to play golf. We were a bit scared because for one thing we were in a different country and dad was with a guy he barely knew. Of course we thought the ultimate worse. I even called Manuel’s cell phone to try and reach them. To our luck, there was no answer on Manuel’s end. I was starting to freak out because it was getting closer and closer to 7:00 and our shuttle bus was going to be picking us up at 7:45 so we could be at the dock by 8:00 for our yacht excursion.
Five minutes until 7:00, I heard our door open and a man’s voice saying “hola!” Thankfully it was my dad! He walked in stumbling with a huge grin on his face. I knew he had fun, which was a relief for me. He said “wow that guy can drink”! I laughed in response. My sister and I nagged at how he was late. Now I know what it was like for them when I was always coming home late from parties.
When 7:45 rolled around we went down to the lobby to wait on our shuttle bus to take us to our destination of the yacht dock. We met Max there was as always greeted with a kiss on each cheek. It always catches me off guard because as Americans that is not how we greet each other. Since he is French, I just let him do his greeting the way he was raised to do it.
We arrived to the dock and were immediately given a servant. The short Mexican man asked what I wanted and I replied “Dos Chervezas” I knew that was what my dad was going to drink too because he is a huge beer drinker.
The yacht ride was extremely relaxing! We were hungry by the time we finished, so after the ride was over my dad, sister, and I walked downtown to find a delicious place to dine at.

Since my dad bought the timeshare, Max decided to invite my sister, dad, and I on a yacht ride that evening. It was only 1:00 PM and the sun was still shining, so we all went out to the beach to soak up the blistering sun rays. We all walked out to the bar to get some free drinks, and as a group we walked to the beach close by. This beach is the nicest beach in Cancun. Just before we headed to the beach, Max’s boss, Manuel stopped us and said that we should go back to our other dinky resort, pack our bags and head over to the Sunset Royal for the rest of our stay since my dad bought the timeshare. We couldn’t believe our ears! We were so happy that we were able to come to the Sunset Royal because in my own personal opinion, this was the nicest resort I have EVER been to in my whole life! I have traveled all over the world and we were asked to stay at the Sunset Royal for FREE because my dad bought a timeshare. How cool is that? I was so excited that I chugged my drink and headed over to hop into our awaiting taxi. I felt like a celebrity at this point! Before our cab had time to drive away, Manuel told all three of us that if we needed anything, all we had to do is tell the bartender that we were with “The Martin Family” and then we were golden!
As we arrived to our other resort to pack up our belongings, all three of us raced to our room to hurry as fast as we could. The faster we packed, the sooner we were able to be located at the nice resort, and the sooner we could go back to the beautiful beach of Cancun. I bet we were not at our resort for 15 minutes before we had everything packed up and ready. I just threw everything I owned in my huge suitcase and bolted out of the door ready to leave for the Sunset Royal.
We arrived at our new all-inclusive resort and was placed on the 4th floor. We had a beautiful room as expected and we quickly unpacked. Manuel showed up in our room to make sure it was okay for us. Then he asked my dad if he wanted to go golfing! My sister and I quickly answered for him and said “of course my dad would love that”. He deserved to go out with his new buddy. Besides, my sister and I wanted to lie on the beach and we both knew that wasn’t my dad’s “cup of tea.” He felt bad for leaving us, but we did not care because we knew we were going to soak up the sun in our bikinis with a umbrella drink in our hand.
After the fun in the sun was over, we all knew we needed to come back to our beautiful resort room to get ready for our luxurious yacht ride.
