Panama

Its been a while since I have posted anything because I have been so busy trying to make it as they say lol! The last country I have visited was panama for the search for the most beautiful Latina in the world with my good friend Myste! We had traveled here 2 times in the last 3 months hosting and having a blast. We got to cruise the seas on a beautiful yacht with the presidents assistant, and the vice president of Lions Gate who I actually ended up having a wonderful conversation with! We had also been published on the cover of the local newspaper and I got to do two morning shows while I was there talking about modeling and tv hosting , and also got to be on E tv! Now im summing it up between both are trips! We had ended up meeting the most amazing people starting with a local who was a captain of a boat named Jeremy and another good friend TJ :) They showed us ALL around Panama, we got to see places normal tourists would not be able to see! It was such an amazing time, the panama press came to give myste and I an Interview you can search the interview on youtube(allyrivera) and we also got to host the contest, well myste was one of the judges and I was one of the hosts! We are both very lucky to have gotten the experience we did and I am truly blessed for that! Now before the show my friend Marcelo was left in charge and demanded that I danced for my opening act ughhh I so did not want to but he made me! So I took lessons with this group named the Fiesta Boys and they taught me this cute lil dance! Well I ended up punching one of the guys in the face..wooopss lol I felt so bad but he was very sweet and I invited him to come to the local bar with Myste and I after practice...well after that we started dating and it was just too funny because he lived in another country and did not speak very good english. But was such a great person and with my traveling it was all the same! As of now we decided to break up because of how very busy we both are but we still keep in contact and who knows what could happen later down the road..the most important thing now is my future and finding a solid career. Once I have that I will open my heart to a relationship! :) For now I am still modeling full time and traveling like crazy!

The Breakup!!!

I have been with the same person on and off for about 7 years now, we had finally come to a point where I believe we were happy, or so I thought! During this I have been traveling like crazy and I only saw him like a couple times a month! Things were getting really bad and I knew something was gonna happen. I started to get a strong feeling he was looking at other girls and we were about over. We had got into a fight and I told him I wanted space for a little while. You see its REALLLY hard to find a boyfriend who can put up with all the traveling and the things I will be doing in the next two years! Well later on that day I get a (text) not even a call a text saying "I heard shady things about you and I want nothing to do with you ever again" Now in all honesty since we have been together I have Never done anything shady to him so it only took me about two seconds to realize HE has the shady one during our relationship! If you find out your partner was doing something wrong you would call them out on what they did? I still to this day have no idea what I did (BECAUSE I NEVER DID ANYTHING LOL) I later found a mess from the girl who has been sleeping with him on and off for years saying...cant wait to see you! And another from her to a friend saying oh ya I talked to (my ex) a couple days ago..meaning while we were together! I also found out he was texting another girl as well. Whats funny is I believe everything happens for a reason and this may be reallly hard for me,not because I lost him but becasue he was part of me. I told him everything, shared everything and have been through a lot together. He was pretty much family. But really that person and I have NOTHING in common and we want diff things out of life. I want more then anything in the world to hate him but I will chose not to. What I will do is remove him from my life for a very long time. Every time we have gone through a break up I always thought maybe later down the road we can make it work because he loves me. REally thats the only thing we had was passion and love for each other, with out those two things we would be strangers! So this time I don't think its over, I know its over and thats the hard part..not letting a boyfriend go letting a huge part of my life go. But he is clearly not my destiny and I cant wait to find someone who is right for me :) A soul mate if you will. I will never look back and always look forward, I have a lot to offer and cant wait to give it to the right man :)

Lost in the world!

I have been traveling straight for a month and a half with modeling, I have not even had one day off and Im exhausted! I have been to vegas...Daytona..mexico..and I leave for panama in 2 days. I feel as if I have lost who I am somewhere I just don't know where. I have been more moody, more negative about things that are very small and should be brushed off! I personally think its hard to manage your health, your friends, your family, your relationship and your co workers when you don't even have a moment to manage your self! I love what I do and what I do comes first, I don't want to change the person that I am because great things are happening to me every day, I want people to see the same girl they saw before all of this blessing started. People change and thats just a part of life but I always hope that whatever changes come my way are for the better! Is it possible to make everyone happy and still be able to go go go? I don't know if this is the time in my life where I need to be single so I can build for my future ? I would like to think I can have both and be a rock star! This has become a very huge problem and I can only hope things in my life will get better because what im doing means more to me then anything in the world and it is my absolute passion! I personally think this is the happiest I have ever been in my entire life and I have so many dreams ahead! I would love to buy a brand new car...cash which im close to that goal already! Then I would love to buy a small 2 bedroom house in clearwater(I love that place) from there if my tv show picks up I would like to stick with that keep traveling and maybe rent one room out to a close friend. While traveling I will finish my last 2 years of school so that if something happens to where I want to retire tv hosting or modeling I would start working for pfizer as a Pharm. rep! Of course I will still travel all the time maybe with a husband..who knows things could get crazy!

Mi Familia

My family means the world to me, even though we all are wrapped up in our own lives we still are in each others hearts. My dad is about 60 years old and is puerto rican. He was raised in hells kitchen new york. He has had a pretty rough life, seeing murders, dealing with not having a mother around and only living with his father who worked full time. My father has been working full time since he was 12 years old and married a women at the age of 18. After being with her for a very short time he had a baby girl ( my half sister whom I have never met). Things did not work out so he got a divorce and moved to fl :) My mother lived a much happier life, she had one brother and one sister. Her Parents were 100 percent German and passed down the language to my mother. My mother was very independent and was able to cook and clean at a very young age. She was trusted and lived a great life. Both my parents got jobs at a jewelry store in the mall and that is how they met and fell in love :) My dad was 10 years older then my mom and was a huge player and had tons of girlfriends. When he met my mom that was it for him and they eventually got married! Shortly after came me and then 4 years later came my sister! We had a wonderful childhood and were very spoiled. My sister is my best friend in the entire world I love her so much. Its funny how different we are from each other. I am very outgoing and friendly. My sister is an introvert and does not have a lot of friends. She got mixed up with a bad crowd in high school and ended up fighting, drinking, staying out all night ect... During this time she had been dating the same guy and later on became pregnant. My parents were so depressed because she could not finish high school and she was only 18 years old. On September 20th 2009 Serenity Grace was brought into the world and it was the best day of all of our lives. That baby has changed her so much for the better, she is very close with my family now, she never goes out drinking and she is the best mom in the entire world. I also have a brother, he is not blood related but close enough. I met him in high school and we became so very close, we spent every day with each other and could not be separated! He knows more about me then anyone in the entire world. Not only was he there for me, but I was there for him as well. He was dealing with the fact that he was gay and no one knew about it. His parents are VERY christian and would dis own him if they found out. My family loved him so much that my dad moved him in the extra room we had in the garage and gave him a job! That time away from home changed him and he met a wonderful boyfriend and came out of the closet to everyone except his family. My brother is a big part of our family and is the glue that holds us together. What brings my family together is laughter and food. No matter how busy we all are we always connect through our jokes and the matter of food!. I love my family very much and would never be where I am today with out them!

Costa Rica!!

What an adventure I had in costa rica!! I got chosen to host a t.v. show finding the most beautiful latina in the world! Each month I get to go to a new country and each winner from each country gets to attend the finals in vegas. I was a little nervous at first because I knew no one and the girl I was rooming with was nothing like me at all. We spoke over the phone and she said ''I like to read and I don't really like people too much'' Shoot me!! But she turned out to be amazing and we became the best of friends! She is also filming for another show called buzzed on paradise. When I arrived the first thing I noticed was the smell...awww the smell of the jungle :) I got to stay in the finest resorts and eat the most unique foods. We got to attempt to feed the crocks, go zip lining and also fly in a helicopter. I did a couple photo shoots and filmed near the end of the trip. I would say the best part of my trip was the wonderful people I got to experience the adventure with. Mark, Luanna, Myste, Roy, Bob, Marcel and David! What a great bunch of people. We will all be going to Peru the end of February. What was amazing about this experience was I FINALLY know what I want to do with my life. I have been stressing out about what would make me happy in life and I couldn't think of anything. Well its about time I found my nitch. I will also be the host of another t.v. show but that will come later! Right now I will work hard with what I have been blessed with and then take the next big step! I have so many people supporting me right now, and it makes me so happy. I am so blessed to have parents who are helping me with my dream and not shutting me out. I would have to say so far this is the happiest I have ever been in my life and if things could get better I would have to feel as if I was dreaming. Also I have a new website coming soon called www.allyrivera.com, this will include my bio, booking, gallery and videos :) Also here is a link from my shotoshoot in costa rica..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VGgmJ2_o6U

The start of 2010!

I have had such an interesting year in 2009. Everyone goes through certain phases, I would say during 2009 I went through mine. Just because you make mistakes does not mean you are that way, or you are a bad person. As long as learn from those situations I think you will be on your way to bigger and better things. I remember when the things that mattered so much to me was...looks over personality..hanging out with my friends over my family....drinking alcohol over living a healthy life style. Well its funny how things change in life and those things that mattered so much to you don't matter at all. I will have to say this year I want things to progress. I have been offered a wonderful opportunity to host my own tv show for the travel channel. That is the most important thing in my life right now. I want to succeed from this point on. I will put all of my time and energy into this project and I hope that all the hard work pays off because this is something I would like to do for the rest of my life. As far as my love life goes I have been on and off with the same guy since high school, we have seen other people and for some reason we always end up back in each others arms. I do care about him and hope that at this point we are mature enough to get through things and support each other through our endeavors. He is going through a tough time right now and starting jan 10th I will be in Costa Rica filming my show. It is going to be hard but I hope we can both support one another and understand what we are doing right now is to better both of our lives for the future. I have a wonderful support system and a drive to do whatever it takes to succeed in life!
