OMG!

I've been so busy this month, I've only had time to write six blogs (now seven), das crayy!

Memorial Day weekend, 2012

So I knew I wanted to do something different to celebrate this Memorial Day Weekend, I just didn't know what... after having dinner and drinks with a friend on Friday and going to a dinner party on Saturday, Spanish guy and I decided to go hiking and row boating on Sunday and spend the day on the beach on Monday. 

But we didn't go to the mountains to hike, we hiked in Central Park! lol. It was lovely! We crossed a river, climbed rocks and then made it to the boat house where we rowed around a huge lake and passed by Gondolas, it reminded us of our trip to Venice and our own Gondola ride. So romantic! After the boat ride we had lunch in the boat house cafe. It was really a wonderful experience. 

We had a splendid holiday weekend. The weather was great and we had lots of new experiences as well as old classics, like iced coffees, Gelatos and long conversations... :D

The First Stages: The Literature Review

I stayed home this evening in order to start my Literature Review for a book I'm writing. This is one of my long-term life goals...

How I want to live:

I want craziness, I want adventure, I want to love my life so much that I don't want to go to bed every night and I want to wake up early every morning to seize the day! I want to soak up every bit of passion that life has to offer and then pass it on to someone else that feels the same way. I want love, happiness and travel.


I want to live carefree and explore new lands!


Im kinda living like this now... i think...

Brooklyn Half Marathon

I ran the Brooklyn Half Marathon yesterday and I ROCKED it! Not only did I rock it, I KICKED ITS BUTT! You know why? Because I ran my FASTEST HALF MARATHON EVER! Its not a fast time in general, but I'm only competing against myself really. I ran 13.1 miles, 26K in 2:01:04. WOOT WOOT!

I am a runner, thats clear to me, thats who I am, thats my identity.

Spanish guy was out to support me as always! <3

And then the celebrations began at Peggy Oniels in Coney Island. Then on the beach, then back to the Upper West Side to a mexican restaurant, then we took it to the house. It was a never ending PARTY!

Peggy Oneils!

continued the celebration into the evening!

Night time celebration!

Squeezed in a few hours on the beach!

The only one who can tell you you cant do something is yourself and I can do anything and everything!

My life is speeding by... this is a good sign.

Central Park

We took a walk in our new backyard, Central Park, this afternoon. Its really an amazing place full of twists and turns and lots of surprises! We walked by birthday parties, turtles, babies, French people, A CASTLE --  we walked up mountains and experienced hundreds of butterflies landing on us and flying around us (they must have just escaped from their cocoons because they were ALL OVER). We dodged bikers, rollerbladers, and people playing all types of sports.

It was so nice, we sat by the turtle pond and just enjoyed the sun kissing our faces.
