Obama

As my brother and I were coming out of Gonzales y Gonzales yesterday evening, we noticed all the streets were shut off and police officers were out in full force. My brother asked what was going on, and I immediately knew, OBAMA WAS IN TOWN (filming for The View) and before I knew it, his bullet proof 4x4 came speeding down Broadway in Manhattan with a troop-- police motorcycles, vans, and helicopters circling overhead. There were four American flags attached to the car, each taking up one corner of his huge vehicle.

We made eye contact.

It was a special moment.

I think I'm in love.

current workout

I've changed the strategy of my workouts recently, just to challenge my body a bit.

I'm still running, but I'm doing shorter and faster runs. Laps around outdoor tracks and a lot of fartlecks. That mixed with abs and arm work have proven to be a successful way to keep my heart pumping, and I'm not using hours and hours everyday to do it. Less than an hour works, then I can spend the rest of the day engaged in art, cooking, or spending time with my loves.

I'd be curious to hear about other peoples' workouts, or plans to stay healthy... lets make this an interactive post! COME ON FOLKS-- TYPE TO ME!

elementary school reunion, PS 39

Last night I had my ELEMENTARY SCHOOL reunion! I've kept in contact with most of these people over the years, but for others it was their first time seeing each other for 17 years! CRAZY! The way we vibed it was like we were brothers and sisters, well really, we grew up together, we cried together, we learned together, we sang together and danced together, we learned to read together, we ran and played together. We are kinda like what a brother sister relationship would be. SO FUN, SO EASY GOING, SO HAPPY!

Aww man... great times. Its so amazing to have long time friends, you know they'll be there for you no matter what!







I really feel like I know some of the best people in the world! I hardly ever have problems with any of my friends, always have good times and we are always smiling!! Its so great!

happy days

It's not what life deals you that's the most important, it's what you do with it and how you react to it.

I truely believe that what you give is what you get.

Be kind to people. Especially when least expected.
I Woke up feeling fabulous this morning (maybe it was that great Indian food I ate in SunnySide last night, or better yet, I'm sure it's because the moon is in Libra today!).

release

Once I publish a blog its like a huge release for me. Maybe what I've been missing the last few days or weeks is more blogging/writing. Yeah, that's it. I discovered my "release".
It's right here and it's been here this whole time.

NYC updates

I've been ignoring my dearly beloved blog!

I've been scrambling around and continue to wait for the apartment that I planned on moving into. The case is now going to court and hopefully the person that is living there now will be evicted especially after 6 months of not paying rent!! geezzz...

In the meantime, I've still been going from house to house. It has its ups and downs. One UP being that I'm able to save a lot of money that I would have spent on rent, electricity bills, food, gas, etc. And this is especially important since we are trying to save for our wedding.

OH MY GOD, I didnt mention---> Spanish guy got a job!!! It's exciting! A good job too! He is now a referee for an Ecuadorian soccer league. YAY! Its a fun job for him AND he got it within two weeks of arriving in the USA! woot-woot!!!

BIG THINGS ARE COMING OUR WAY, I CAN FEEL IT!

LADY GAGA

Me, my fiance, and my two uncles rocked out at the lady gaga concert last night FOR FREE!!! We had VIP passes (I can't publicly say how we got them). BUT we went right in the side door, in stage left then around Madison Square Garden, eventually settling in the upper Suites. It was amazing to see her in action, expecially when ALEJANDRO came on, ALEJANDRO ALEJANDRO! (thats my fiances name, hehe)
Anyway, another unique NYC experience!! LOVE IT!!



yay gaga!!!

From SPAIN to NYC!

After a spectacular year in Spain living with Spanish guy and recently getting engaged. We are now in NYC. He arrived a few days ago and I couldn't be happier. He's adapted nicely, bought a NY Yankees hat (anyone's right of passing for assimilating into the NYC culture), we've been running around the city like children in a candy shop, only instead of sweets, we are attracted by the lights, the restaurants, the museums, beaches, friends, people, fountains, iced coffees, different cultural neighborhoods and the amazing fashion available at low prices.

Its fantastic to be able to share so many experiences with each other. We will continue the exploration throughout the summer before he heads back to Spain for a mini vacation in September then get ready for a full year in NEW YORK CITY!

The city that never sleeps and the city that makes US never want to sleep!
