Brighter Side
Alright... now to pick up where I left off.

So it was almost the end of October and I was out throwing the trash, minding my own business and I pass my mother who stops me and asks me to water the plants for the next couple of days. I agreed to do it but I asked her why am I doing it and she tells me that she's leaving to go to mexico to take care of my grandma for a couple of days. To put it in detail, there's two aunts and a cousin that live with my grandma and one of my aunts and my cousin are leaving to go around mexico attending some conventions for people that own hair salons and since my other aunt has to work, my grandma will be left alone, which is something my mother will not accept.

Anyways... I asked her how she was traveling and she told me by bus. I then asked her if my sister was going with her and she said she was going alone, in which I decided right there and then that I would go with her. There's no way in hell I'd let my mother travel to mexico by herself, I would be a horrible son if I stand by and do nothing. I told her I'd go with her and she said to go pack my clothes now because we'd be leaving late that night, and we did.

Fortunately, the bus ride over to mexico and to my grandma's house went smoothly. As for the time I spent there... I don't think it was a disaster. I got bit by mosquitos a lot so I spent most of my time in an air conditioned room playing megaman zero 1-4. I did get to see some tv... especially a few episodes of anime in spanish. I saw Prince of Tennis, Get Backers, FMA, Pita-Ten, Tsukikage Ran, Initial D, Hungry Heart-Wild Striker, Vandread, Saikano, and Submarine Super 99. They also showed commercials for Gantz, Noir, Burt Angel, Steel Angel Kurumi, Samurai 7, and other anime but I didn't get a chance to see them.

My aunt, mother, and I went to visit my grandfather's grave on the day of the dead (my granmother couldn't because she isn't in a position to freely walk around). When we finally got to my grandfather's grave, we cleaned up the dirt that was on his grave and we placed new flowers on his grave. We also said a few prayers and after that we walked around and saw some interestign things. While some people visited their respective family members' graves, some had mariachi playing, and one family set up to eat in front of their relative's grave.

Well... that's all I'm going to type for now.

...I think I typed too much...

Abayo!
