Here’s the video of me and my friend Randy dancing. It’s not the best quality ’cause it was dark and I tried my best to edit the video to look brighter, but it doesn’t look that good anyway. I don’t have any more videos of us dancing, we like to dance a lot, and like I said, we’re always in sync, he’s the only one that can lead me hehe.

I saw this movie last night for the first time in my life and I’m obsessed now. I was already obsessed with the song, but the dancing made me fall in love.

For me, dancing is a really big deal. I love to dance, I go nuts when I’m dancing, and I have to admit I do it pretty well hehehe but I normally dance alone.  Only one man had known how to lead me, or it was mostly that we had really good synchronization hehe and watching this movie gave me the URGE of dancing with a partner, but a good one haha.

Plus, Patrick Swayze was really handosme and manly. I never saw him this attractive until this movie. WOW he really won me over. I WANT TO DANCE!

See? I haven’t forget about my Robert Downey Jr. Today I finally watched the trailer for Iron Man 2 (I like to stay away from trailers for as long as possible or know nothing about movies I want to see, I like the surprise effect hehe). But a friend was linking to this video from his MSN account, so I couldn’t help it and I watched it. Now I’m impatient to see the movie. He’s freaking gorgeous. “You complete me” awww he’s so… perfect LOL.

Probably, sometime we’ll get an Iron Man layout hehehe!. For the first one, I made one for Fanatic, so I can’t change the tradition hehe.

Even though I was totally in love with my past layout, I had the urge to change it and make one dedicated to one of my favorite actors of all time: Heath Ledger. It’s been almost two years since he passed away and I still can’t believe it. I miss him so freaking much it hurts. The layout it’s pretty simple, but that picture of him it’s BEAUTIFUL and had to use it, so I really hope you like it.

When Heath passed away on January 22nd of 2008, I made a tribute video with the song “Slipped Away” by Avril Lavigne that expressed perfectly how I was feeling with the news of his passing. That day, a friend called me just to tell me “Did you heard what happened to Heath Ledger?” I had no idea, so I asked her what happened, when she said “He died” I couldn’t believe it, I laughed thinking she was joking and said “That’s not funny” she asked me to look it up on the internet, so I did. When I found the first head line “Heath Ledger found dead in his NY apartment” I had to tell my friend I’d call her back because I choked in tears.

Na na, na na na, na na
I miss you, miss you so bad
I don’t forget you, oh it’s so sad
I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly

The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won’t be the same
Ooooh

Na na na na na na na

I didn’t get around to kiss you
Goodbye on the hand
I wish that I could see you again
I know that I can’t

Oooooh
I hope you can hear me ’cause I remember it clearly

The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won’t be the same
Ooooh

I had my wake up
Won’t you wake up
I keep asking why
And I can’t take it
It wasn’t fake
It happened, you passed by

Now you’re gone, now you’re gone
There you go, there you go
Somewhere I can’t bring you back
Now you’re gone, now you’re gone
There you go, there you go,
Somewhere you’re not coming back

The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won’t be the same, no..
The day you slipped away
Was the day that I found it won’t be the same oooh…

Na na, na na na, na na
I miss you…

I read article after article about his death, because I just couldn’t believe it. He couldn’t die, he was 28 years old, he was still a kid, with a baby girl to rise and a career that was finally being recognized. I cried for days, probably a month. I kept playing this song and cry until I couldn’t shed anymore tears. I swear the idea of him gone brought me down like if I really knew him. I’ve been a fan since I was a teenager, probably 15, he was indeed part of my life thanks to his movies.

I couldn’t believe I wouldn’t see him anymore on red carpets or enjoy his interviews, and there was never going to be any more of his movies after The Dark Knight and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, I was truly devastated. After a year of his passing, I made another tribute video now using the song “For Blue Skies”

Its been a long year
Since we last spoke
Hows your halo?
Just between you and I
You and me and the satellites
I never believed you
I only wanted to
Before all of this
What did I miss?
Do you ever get homesick?
I cant get used to it
I cant get used to it
Ill never get used to it
Ill never get used to it

Im under that night
Im under those same stars
Were in a red car
You asleep at my side
Going in and out of the headlights
Could I have saved you?
Would thatve betrayed you?
I wanna burn this film
You alone with those pills
What you couldnt do I will
I forgive you
Ill forgive you
Ill forgive you
I forgive you

For blue, blue skies
For blue, blue skies
For blue, blue skies
For blue, blue skies
Ill forgive you

And now, we’re close to two years of his passing and I still miss him. Every now and then I sit and watch some of his movies and kind of forget his gone, but when reality hits me, it brings me down once more. He was special, ever since I saw 10 Things I Hate About You, I knew he was special, that he’d last years in my “Favorite Actors” list, and even though he’s dead he still is one of my favorite actors and will be probably forever.

You’re greatly missed Heatcliff Andrew Ledger…

I just heard there’s going to be a 10 Things I Hate About You: 10th Anniversary Edition. OMG OMG OMG OMG. I so freaking WANT IT. The only copy I have of this movie is on VHS, no joke… I have to undust my VCR to watch it haha. Thanks to this movie I fell in love with Heath Ledger and been a fan for like 9 years. I don’t know when it’s going to be released or if it’s already released, but I want that DVD in a desperate way hehe!.

I saw this at my friend Illara’s journal and thought I should do something similar since I tend to love a lot of things in one single year, so here’s a list of things that won my heart on 2009. I shall warn you it’s going to be a LONG list hehe!.

1.- DEAD BY SUNRISE
Obviously, the best about 2009 was Chester’s band Dead By Sunrise. Like I’ve said before, whatever Chester Bennington is in, I’m going to support it and I simply fell for this new band, the music is AMAZING. And I was extremely happy that I finally heard something totally CHESTER. His lyrics, his music, his voice, this was a true work of Chester Bennington, so it’s very special for me!.

2.- RYAN SHUCK
I was never really into Orgy and I never paid that much attention to Julien-K and at first, I thought I wouldn’t like Dead By Sunrise’s other members, ’cause I only cared about Chester, I seriously thought it would be hard for me to like other guys that weren’t Linkin Park. BUT it only took me one interview to love Ryan, he’s so funny and I simply liked him. Plus, I love the interaction in interviews with him and Chester, you can easily see they’re true friends just having fun and that’s amazing.

3.- MIKE SHINODA’S PICTURE
What can I say? I’m loving his style and this picture is simply PERFECT and I fell for it, I can spend minutes staring at it.

4.- TALINDA BENNINGTON
I know she’s not a real celeb. And I don’t normally follow Chester Bennington’s personal life, ’cause after all it should be PERSONAL. But I got a chance to know this lady a little bit more than only from pictures and she’s amazing. I never thought she’d be as nice as she actually is, and I really really liked her.

5.- HE’S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU (Alex & Gigi)
This movie rocks, I loved it. I totally fell for Alex and Gigi’s relationship since the beginning. How Alex was always true to her even though he seemed to be cruel. I watched it again last night, and I could watch it over and over again. Simply PERFECT!. And it was always good to learn that when a guy wants to see a girl, he’ll make it possible.

6.- TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON
I never thought I would like this movie as much as I did. There was one time in my life that I had a love triangle that I usually compare with these three fictional characters. My personal brand of heroin that I could never resist, and the guy that offered me everything a girl would want and was healthier for me but I always rejected. And this movie reminded me of that time. Specially the line that goes something like “Don’t make me choose, it’s always been him” or something like that.

7.- TAYLOR LAUTNER
If you wonder why I put Taylor and not my RPattz on the list, it’s because I fell for Robert in 2005, not in 2009 heh!. Anyway, I never liked Taylor, never ever… until I saw New Moon. Then I read he was 17 and now I feel like a sinner for lusting after a CHILD haha. I’m still Team Edward though hehe.

8.- ENRIQUE BUNBURY’S CONCERT
It was AMAZING the best concert I’ve ever been in. Even though I had a heartbreaking moment when it was canceled in my city, I got to travel and still see him live and it was totally worth it. He’s an amazing performer and I got to sing my favorite songs along with the man itself. An experience I’ll NEVER forget.

9.- ENRIQUE BUNBURY’S AUTOGRAPH
I’ve never had an autograph in my entire life that I trully treasured. The only three pretty cool autographs I got are Alex Lora’s (from a band called El Tri), Ty Dennis’ (from Riders on The Storm formely The Doors) and this one, but this is the coolest one ’cause I adore Enrique Bunbury and is one of my top favorite artists from all time.

10.- AMERICA VS. ATLANTE MATCH
My favorite soccer team has been America since I was a little kid. I had never seen a match live, I did for the first time this year and it was AMAZING being there in the crowd, shouting things to my team. Specially ’cause I have a crush on one of their players called Memo Ochoa haha!.

11.- CHESTER’S TWEET
Even though he got my twitter name wrong, I really appreciated that he thanked me. It was trully, one of the best days of my life haha I was so incredibly happy I couldn’t believe he knew a ChesterDEAN existed somewhere and it was really really sweet. He made me smile like prolly no one has ever done it.

12.- CHESTERDEAN.NET
Even though the site isn’t that great and sometimes it lacks of interesting content, making it was GREAT and I’ve got to know amazing people and it’s always nice to have a place to go and rant about my favorite things and read about the things my friends likes. So, making this site is part of the things I loved this year.

13.- BIGGER
I don’t have the actual album yet (This is Us) of the Backstreet Boys but I have it on my computer. And I’m simple addicted to the song Bigger. The lyrics reminds me how I could have loved a jekr and still stood by his side because I was in love… like he could dedicate this song to me and fit our relationship haha. Plus, Brian looks freaking adorable in the video and AJ is wearing a Jim Morrison tee. Even though I’d have loved if the video had something to do with the lyrics, that’d had been awesome.

14.- CHESTER’S PLAID SHIRTS
I’m loving that Chester’s wearing plaid shirts again. It brings back the nostalgia when plaid shirts were his favorites around 2001 and I was a brand new fan. It reminds me of the good old times when I was young and found the band that I’d love forever.

15.- FIRE
And finally… the song Fire by Dead By Sunrise. I’ve already made a post about this song and how special it is to me. Back in 2005-ish that I was going through the worst time of my life, Chester Bennington gave me “Let Down” and now, that time changed me, he now gave me “Fire”. And it kind of expresses a lot of things I feel and think. So this year, THIS is MY song and I’m gonna always be grateful with Chester Bennington for always making a special song that would help me cope with my personal demons.

Seeing that people actually liked my video of Romeo & Juliet in Modern Times, I decided to post my other videos on the site. This one is a FAKE interview my best friend and I did for Chester’s 32nd birthday.

How did we make it?. Well, it was all my idea (again) I wanted to make a fake interview for a long time, so I looked through ALL my Linkin Park videos and wrote down quotes I could use as answers, I’d also write the name of the video and in what time that line was said (so it would be easier to look for it when I edited the video).

When I got several funny quotes I could use as answers, I thought about the questions, and did a list of questions and their answers. Then my best friend and I recorded ourselves asking the questions (as you can see, my acting sucks). And finally, I sat down, put everything together and here it is. A FAKE interview with Chester Bennington.

PS: I’m really sorry for the ‘nasty’ bits hehe I just HAD to use that video of Chester (you’ll know which one) for humorous purposes. I swear I’m not a groupie kind of fan hehe!. And if you wonder why our talk show is called C&C it’s because our friends knows us both as Chester (me) and Chezter (Benjamin) and our time together is called “C&C day/night/afternoon” etc. Enjoy and let me know what you think!

As a future English teacher, at school we get to do a lot of silly things like plays. I’ve never seen myself as an actress (no talent at all as you might see next). But I do have too many silly ideas in my head, to become the master mind in video editing when it comes to these kind of school assignments. This time we had to make a choice, to make an audio or a short clip… of course, we chose the clip. I was in charge of everything, I wrote the script, I directed everything and stuff. Since it was for our English Literature class, we had to make something related to Shakespeare work, and I chose Romeo and Juliet (we did a similar play a year before but in Spanish). This video was done last year, but I uploaded it to Youtube a couple of months ago.

Anyway, here’s the clip. My friend’s English isn’t that good (not that mine is perfect) so, I don’t blame you if you don’t understand what the hell they’re saying… but enjoy and I hope I can make you laugh.

Edit: I’m Romeo for if you didn’t notice *lol*. And here’s what I didn’t explain. Romeo is an off duty police man and Juliet is, well… a hooker. So, instead of being separated by their families, they’re separated by the cops and the hookers. That’s Romeo and Juliet in modern times :)

And the clip has a lot of other movies parodies, like Twilight. Let’s see if you can guess hehe.

Thanks to a twitter conversation today I got really nostalgic. When I started being a fan of Linkin Park a lot of people told me they wouldn’t last and that I shouldn’t waste so much time in them. I never paid attention to those comments. Who would have told me 8 years later I’d be here? loving them still and stronger than ever?.

Today I was about to cry while watching Dead By Sunrise’s performance at the KROQ’s Almost Acoustic Christmas. Why? Because after all these years, I still haven’t had the chance to see Chester Bennington (my biggest idol and influence in my life) live. Because it’s not like I’ve just started following them (specially Chester) and been waiting to see them live for a year or two, if that sounds long to you, try to imagine waiting EIGHT YEARS, that’s long.

When they came to Mexico, I was only 17 years old and my mom thought my love for them wasn’t really that strong to actually pay me a trip to Mexico City, or the concert tickets, plus… I couldn’t go alone and my brother didn’t want to go with me, so I was screwed. I was positive about it, and even though I cried my eyes out and saw the press conference in a complete depression, I hoped they’d come back soon, probably for their next album. Meteora was released, also Minutes To Midnight, and another album is on its way and they haven’t come back.

Back then, when YouTube didn’t exist, we couldn’t see them live like we do now, unless we’d watch shows like the 2$ Bill Concert (which I did on TV) or other live shows like the VMA’s (first one I saw of them was 2001’s). So, when they released Live in Texas was a thrill to me, ’cause I could see them live in a real concert. I watched the DVD every day for MONTHS. I kept thinking they were going to come back some day and I’d be there finally seeing them live. Haven’t happened… obviously!. Now, when I watch that DVD I always end up crying for the amazing memories I got thanks to it (and because I STILL WANT TO SEE THEM LIVE :( ).

Not long ago, Road to Revolution was released and it was another big fat slap on my face. I watched it in tears, seriously. It’s just too emotional for me to see them live ’cause it’s an experience I’ve always longed to live. Not long ago, a couple of years only, my mom said she was going to pay me tickets to go see them in Canada… never happened, and my heart got crushed since I was already pretty excited. If I want to see them live, I guess I have to travel to the US, which it isn’t so easy ’cause I have to get all my papers like visa and passport and they cost a lot of money, and there’s the possibility they won’t give them to me. And also, they expire in a year, what if I get them and LP doesn’t tour? OR… what if I wait until I hear they’ll make a tour and I don’t get my papers on time? that’s been the story of my life since I’ve been a fan, sad uh?.

And I have to admit I get pretty sad sometimes when I hear new fans, that have liked LP for like a year or two seeing them live all the time. It’s like it isn’t fair, I’ve spent YEARS of my life working devotedly on my sites, spreading the love for this amazing band and I’m stuck on my boring town seeing other people living my dream. I’m happy for them but I’m not happy for me hehe.

People always tell me I’m gonna see them someday, that all my hard work and dedication will pay back. But you know what? after so many years, I don’t even want to get my hopes high, I’ve been crushed and let down for so long it really hurts.

And I’m still amazed of how fast time flies. I’ve known Linkin Park way longer than I’ve known most of my friends, they were part of my life way before some of the most important people in my life. I even knew them BEFORE I knew my best friend and that says a lot. It feels like they’ve ALWAYS been there. And seeing them live or not, I’m just gonna love this band FOREVER!.

The first time I saw this movie was two years ago, and I simply fell in love with this and abought it as soon as I had the chance. The first time I saw it, I watched it three times in the same day, that’s how obsessed I got with this movie.

Also, at that time I used to be so pathetically in love I felt I was Iris, I felt related even when she said she had wasted 3 years of her life for a man that didn’t deserve it. I couldn’t believe how pathetic I was.

But thank god the years have passed, and now I can’t help but feel related to Amanda. I can’t explain why, I mean… I haven’t changed and I’ve always been like Amanda in terms of love, but one stupid time I decided to act like the pathetic Iris and I forgot I could be Amanda haha. Anyway, this is a useless rant.

Jude Law is incredibly cute in this movie, I totally adore him here, his accent it’s THE BEST!. My mom is liking him now, she always end up liking my favorite actors hahaha sorry Mom, I don’t share them *LOL* I want to watch the movie AGAIN haha.
