Crazy night!

So my cousin wanted to get distracted at night and she asked me if we could spend the night together. I had my secret plan already set, I was gonna go see street races and cars with my friend haha... I felt that wouldn't be something she would like to do. I told her and she said, "you know what I don't care, I just want to get distracted, and if you like it I think it must be fun." Ok, it turned out that she liked it a lot haha! I took her with me to San Pablo, she was very excited! I introduce her to my friend and then we got in his car, he started drifting and racing in the freeway, he always scares the crap out of me haha. We were so hungry at the end that we had to eat McDonalds!!! Eeewwww!!! So tiring, but amazing.

Waking Up in New York City

Back in NYC. Yes! After long walks exploring cities and good stuff I am back in the concrete jungle where dreams are made of, and where the lights inspire you.

It was about time to take it a little bit easy so we took our time to get ready for the day so we started by walking a few blocks down and buy some food for the days we have left. The best thing of our morning was the Salvadorian breakfast we had. It was so yummy! We were happy!

Later in the afternoon we went to see the Juilliard school, so pretty! Only legit people go there. Afterwards we went to get some yummy fro-yo from "16 handles," sooo god! 52 cents per ounce! I highly recommend it! It also seems like people visit this place quite frequently. Right after that we went in the hunt for some serious shopping : ) and then we went to the Manhattan temple. It was a good experience to enter the temple, that's always a great choice. We felt very happy when we got out from the temple. We can tell the difference.

Then we stopped by a few shops and walked a lot towards times square. We got to talk to some cool people as well and I like that a lot. People from all around the world. My favorite was the Turkish guy, really cool! He provided me with one of his artistic products for free haha! Real funny!

I'm glad we went to the temple! I need that spirit of peace. I want to be better. I need to be better!

It's Just Business In Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia

We arrived in Washington DC! Wow I was very impressed, it is a really beautiful place. Like in the movies!

Geral came to pick us up. She is so awesome! We met back in 2004 and we've been good friends ever since and it's really nice to get together in DC, who would ever thought we would be there together! Así es la vida!

She told us that we would have to walk a lot to see the museums and the monuments. I thought it would be hard but not as hard as it went. My feet hurt badly. I was dying!

We visited the museums during the day. They are really really amazing, I learned a lot of new things. We also walked towards downtown, it is very clean, super nice, the buildings are really nice. Not as many people as in New York. I really would love to live in DC as well.

At night, Geral's fiance took us to see the monuments. Wow, they are stunning at night! We walked tons but it was worth the pain. We were in Washington DC and stayed in Virginia, I don't understand how's that. We made a stop in Maryland and that made us get to Washington really late. It's all about the fun and the places you get to know!


At the end of the night we got together with Kelvin and his brother, really cool guys. We laugh super hard at all the crazy things we say when we are together. I'm a happy person I guess haha! We had a really yummy shake and got excited to go together to church the next day and spend more time together.

I Felt Like If I Was Back In April

Great! This is vacation! Time to explore! Time for me. I wish I could stop thinking that I have to come back to Utah and study hard. I cannot stop thinking about it and in all the things I have to do to keep a good balance. Oh well..

Anyway, we woke up as early as we could after recovering a little. Hah! I felt like I was back in April. Nothing had changed. It was the same New York I loved.

Here comes the adventure highlights.

We visited central park and had lunch there (hot dogs, yum!) talked to some handsome Europeans, took pictures, walked a lot, saw a lot of things we like on fifth avenue and got a picture with one Abercrombie's model. Oh my...! So cute! We went crazy haha! We saw a couple of interesting people doing nice things on the street and parks. We felt "in."It was really cool to see really nice things all over the place. We were gonna leave at 9:00 PM for Washington DC so we got back early from the city to get our backpacks ready for the next 4 days.






We left the house early to be at least one hour and a half before "just in case." Well, thanks goodness we did. Andrea couldn't find her confirmation number in her email. We called customer service to get the confirmation number and they put us on hold for like 20 mins. At first they told Andrea that they couldn't find her name nor her email and debit card number. Oooohh nooo! That was very stressful to know because we had everything planned and all of a sudden the confirmation email disapears and then they said that they could not find her name so they couldn't resend her confirmation number!

No way, "we are gonna get to Washington no matter what!" We were gonna leave for Philadelphia from Washington DC and all of our journeys depended on that. I couldn't believe that could happen to us! I felt that there was something wrong because we remembered having compared our confirmation emails when we booked the journeys. I decided that I should call too and that I was gonna go as far as I could to not let anything ruin our fun time : ) It turned out that the lady that took Andrea's call needed some extra training because she didn't know how to help us properly and made us freaked out for a while. The lady who picked up my call was able to resend the confirmation number in less than one minute : ) Yes! I knew it! We had to go, I was pretty sure that everything would turn out okay. I could feel it. Strong feelings don't fail!

I'm back in NYC! Oh yeah! The city were dreams are made of and where is nothing you can't do.

We arrived around 10:30 PM. Changed our shoes and got ready to carry our luggage to our friend's place, which was kind of a pain since we both had 50 pounds each of luggage filled with all our necessary items plus a bunch of "just in case" stuff. Well, it was only about getting to our friends' place and we were gonna be set!

We apparently took the longest way. Ooh I was back in NYC! I couldn't believe it! It was about 1:00 AM and tons of people around. I love that! The city is always alive! That's my style!

We started looking all those handsome boys, and when we arrived to our destination we got to talk to a very handsome guy in blue shirt. Success!!!

Diego was waiting for us. It was good to see him! He married one of my best friends. He is a very awesome guy, very smart, adventurous, conqueror, caring and cool. He graduated last spring from BYU and now he works for JP Morgan in downtown New York.

Great! We are here! Tomorrow I'm gonna go explore an get to know the city more!

From Day Zero!

I can feel it! This is gonna be great!

At 33,110 feet!

I'm in the airplane right now. We'll be traveling a lot so I guess I'll be taking the time to write every time we are heading somewhere so I can keep these memorable and crazy adventure a little updated.

I had an amazing weekend after a ridiculously crazy and busy school term. It all started with a graduation party in honor of Franklin and kelvin. The next day we went for lunch to one of my favorite restaurants, Tucanos! So good! I love pao de queijo! Shortly after that, I headed back to work and decided to go to Salt Lake to party rock with my precious friends and talk more seriously with Andrea about our upcoming trip since we both were in school before and it was hard to coordinate some things and they were very time consuming haha! Trip had been planned out but we had to look at the details and other plans B in case things don't work out as planned. Also, we had to thing about what was going to be our attitude towards problems that come up, which is a really good thing to look at.

We spent our weekend doing a lot of the things we love the most like eating sushi! David Polk joined us! David is a great friend of us. We love him so much! He spoils us! He is originally from Florida and has American and Vietnamese blood. He is very smart, very cool, chill, spiritual, talented and laughs at everything we say. We laugh hard the whole time we are together. We hadn't seen him in a long time because he was doing study abroad in Argentina. He studies Architecture and is a very outstanding student. He plans on going to Harvard or UC Berkeley for grad school. I want him to design my future house! :)

Last night, David and Andrea picked me up to take me to salt lake and be ready the next day to head to the airport. We went to bed super late with Andrea, we always stay up till late talking :) It wasn't hard to wake up bright and early, it's exciting to share a good trip with someone who is similar to you and likes almost the same things.

David came to pick us up in the morning, we got some breakfast to go, we got to the airport right on time. We were about to go through security when the officer didn't let us in because of our two last names. Our flight tickets only had our first last name and our ID's had two so he wanted to see both last names in the flight ticket as well which was ridiculous! I have always traveled with only one last name in my flight ticket, plus here in the States are used to only one last name, all places I go they always do that.

So we had to run to where we got our flight ticket and see if they could do something to change it. Well, they could do something with Andrea's but not with mine. It was 11:08 AM and our flight would leave at 11:30 AM. Great! I freaked out only thinking about the wait for the next flight that I didn't know how long that was going to take. So I thought, "No, we're gonna make it on time no matter what! Our plans cannot be frustrated!" so we took our shoes off and told people in line that we were gonna miss our flight so they could let us go first. People was cool about it and the other officer didn't even say anything about my ID issue, just like it's always been!!! So we passed through security really fast and our gate was so far away but we ran fast to our gate and caught our flight just right on time! Yes we made it! Ooh baby!!! THAT WAS PART OF THIS ADVENTURE! So crazy! We ate our to go brakefast in the airplane, but it wasn't warm :(

We landed in Denver, Colorado. We had a kind of long layover so we went to explore the different shops and took some pictures. Airports always have nice settings where you can get really nice shots!

Great! We ate really fast since we had like 4 hours of flight to New York. We are very excited. Now I can really feel it, this is gonna be good! I love this sensation! I love being away from my reality and just admiring and enjoying life in a different setting! I love diversity! Can't wait to see the NY lights from above!

First stop: NEW YORK CITY. It will be my second time in that beautiful city, and it's Andrea's first time! She'll fall in love with that city as much as I did. I really would love to live there eventually :)

But Tomorrow May Rain So We'll Follow The Sun

And now the time has come and so my love we must go... One day, you'll find that we have gone...

Dream like New York, as high as the skyline. We'll be running down Broadway, catch the next train, go make our way.

Love Trying SOMETHING Different

Coconut curry-Chicken

Henry came the other day from Salt Lake for work and stopped by to spend some time with me. I really needed to take a break from school and from all the emotions that had been all over me lately. I know is normal to feel upset, disappointed or sad and I usually fight over them and always replace them with other things or by doing the things I love the most but lately I kinda got tired of fighting AND accepted that I was not having a good time and I hated it because life has always been great with me and MY EMOTIONS had been in place. Now I look back and see that I hadn't even finished fighting the first round and I already wanted to feel knockout... No! I cannot do that!

What is the problem? The problem is me! I am so used to the life where everything seems perfect to me and everything seems to be working out amazingly great and there's nothing I have to worry about other than work, giving my best, looking up for better opportunities in life and other random stuff.

Yeah, I love trying new things but is disappointing and hard when they are not how you thought they would be. It's just that I'm experiencing big changes in many aspects of my life that are making me grow up, becoming more like an adult  and overall BRINGING MY FEET BACK TO THE GROUND!!! I'm facing my reality, THIS IS REAL LIFE! This is an opportunity to discover myself more, learn from this and act wisely. Getting used to changes is not always easy to handle. I must say.

Avocado shake

 Henry is really genuine and nice. I like people who is genuine because it shows a lot about who they really are, specially that they are nice because they are just like that, not only to please you. He took me out for dinner to a really nice place from Sri Lanka. It was way good, and there I tried an avocado shake... Huh? Avocado? Yeah, that's what I thought but it was really good! I love trying new things! It turned out that it was as good as I thought it would be! And that makes me happy... Oh they joy of life!

The song says: If You Are Going To San Francisco Make Sure You Wear Some Flowers in Your Head

It would be cool to live in San Francisco. It’s one of the most famous cities in the world.

That city is my style. I love diversity. I love landscapes, bridges, ships, fishing, walks around the city, ups and downs, buildings and looking at handsome boys, tons of cuties! (That’s the truth, as long as I’m single, I will have eyes for everything and everybody J It’s part of my life, part of my youth, part of me ♥).

Capture the Moment… Don’t Let it Go!

Live up the best moments in your life!

The Beatles are… Wow!

I went to The Beatles LOVE show from the Cirque Du Soleil in Las Vegas this last weekend and it was ridiculously amazing! I’ve heard is the best show of the Cirque du Soleil.

All You Need is LOVE!

Tons of incredible special effects! That show made me happy that I still cannot stop thinking about how amazing it was… I felt many special feelings while my favorite songs were being interpreted.

Small and Simple Things

Lately... I've been feeling way super happy. I consider myself a very happy person and when hard times or stressful days come I try hard to see good things through bad things and mostly keeping a good attitude. But these last days have been perfect. Beautiful days, success at work, doing the things I love like learning to play the viola, learning that song I love in the piano, making my friends laugh, having a good time with my friends, etc and all the rest of things that you already know that make you feel happy.

I feel very happy with myself and every little and big thing around me. I love looking at the sky, people, houses, cars, buildings, nature and breath deeply. I love myself, I love being a woman and I love belonging to the family I belong. I guess I love my freedom and everything that rules my freedom.

Today I went to the Lion House in State street and South Temple with my good friend David for lunch. What a place!!!! I loved it! As we were walking towards the restaurant, I was just looking around and admiring the beautiful day and we both told each other how awesome it felt just walking in downtown in such a beautiful day.

I love Salt Lake City very much because it is a small city but big enough I must say. I love exploring it! I love to see the people with weird styles. That's like art for me. I love the little shops all over the place, taking pictures and the noise of a city and the smell of city.

Anyway, I just think that I'm feeling super happy that anything makes me happy.

We got to share a very sinful dessert from the Lion House... It changes your life!
