FABULOUS FEBRUARY 2014 :)

Things I'm excited about February:

First of all, February as always been my favorite month because my birthday's in February! Besides that, we are (well, I was) in the middle of summer vacations. 

1. My Birthday!

2. The Superbowl 2014, but most of all I'm excited about the halftime show because Bruno Mars is performing this year's!

3. Disney and Busch Gardens trip with Tio Ricky!

I'm Kinda Into Photography #14: Thanksgiving Break

I got so many cool photos it's sort of a dilemma which shots to include and which not, so I'm going to post them all (not really)! I took an interest in taking pictures of Disney balloons and cute kids. These pictures where taken in Disney Magic Kingdom, Island of Adventure, Universal Studios and Busch Gardens.

Mom kept laughing at our matching leggins. 

Epic moment when Dale pointed at me because of my Dale beanie. 

I love the effect of the counter light in this photo. 

Landscape of Universal Studios at sunset. 

Such a funny moment when Chip complained about my Dale beanie and then hugged me. 

Week #31: THANKSGIVING IN DISNEY! (11.25.13 - 12.01.13)

Monday was awesome because it was a pretty chilly day, I went to chemistry as usual and had a group activity. I grouped with Mark and Armando, we were the last group to finish I swear! But we were laughing about it haha. Highlight from chemistry class: Armando told me he missed me over the weekend, not in any romantic way but in like a friends/sisterly way and it made my self-esteem rise. I went to the library before calculus and did some problems for the homework due next week, there were initially 205 problems! Now I'm down to 130 and since half of this week I'll be with my family having fun I have the entire next week booked with all these homework problems.

On Tuesday I went to class as usual and we were dismissed 45 minutes before time so I headed to the library to do some calculus, I got stuck before the last topic because I got one problem wrong so as always: I'm as ready as I'll be. So I spent the rest of the day in Netflix and doing nothing, besides being excited that mom and Patty are coming tomorrow! I already took out all the boxes and bags that we need to load into the car and Kaitlyn already left for home so I have the room for myself tonight.

It's finally Wednesday! And I'm so excited because today's the day mom and Patty are coming! It's already half past 1 and I've done all my homework and gotten ready, I'm still waiting for my mom to call which should be soon. The waiting is killing me! It's been an hour since I last wrote (it's 2:30) and I've cleaned the suite, done my bed, finished packing, fixed the curtains, looked out the window, reviewed for my calculus test, and chilled a while while listening to some music (and yes, I'm still listening to The Beatles). And finally Patty called at 2:35! They are on their way so they'll be here in about two hours :) After my calc test I met with my mom and Patty, finally! And went to Orlando.

On Thursday we woke up at about 6 am and went to Magic Kingdom, we rode every ride we wanted to, we saw the parade and ate a turkey leg! It was really fun, we arrived at Disney at around 8:30 am and left at 8 pm, so we spent almost 12 hours at Magic Kingdom! After Disney we went to the black friday at Best Buy and got a parking right away, we had to wait on a two hour line though, to pay. I bought my Apple TV and a cool case for my iPhone; and my mom bought her Chrome Cast. After Best buy we went to Target and I bought some clothes, then we went to the mall just to see what stores were open and all of them were! So we stayed in the mall. Yet the greatest thing that happened was that I got a free Frozen Chocolate Banana! I was at the ice cream cart in front of Space Mountain and I was about to pay when the lady told me I didn't have to! Thank you lady that works at the ice cream cart in from of Space Mountain :)

We shopped in the mall all the way through Friday morning (3:00 AM), and we went to Old Navy, Forever 21, Aeropostale, American Eagle, and Macy's. Since we shopped in the morning we had all late morning to sleep so we woke up again at 2 pm and went to Downtown since there was nothing else to do. We got some very yummy Hot Cocoas and shopped a little bit, I bought a Stitch fluff animal/pillow :D. We also went to a mini golf, a Hawaiian themed mini golf, and I won! I were going to do another course (there were two courses) but the Indian guy came very mad at us asking for the receipt right away and kicking us out... That's another reason I don't like Middle Easterns.

On Saturday we went to Island of Adventures at around 9:30 am, and we rode Hulk first, then we went to the Cat in the Hat part and took some pictures because Patty's quinceanos is Seuss' themed. We went to Harry Potter, and we ended up finishing the park at around 2 pm, so we decided to go to Universal Studios too. We went to Rock It and all the other rides, except The Mummy because it was close :( We also saw the parade which is a first for me because I've never seen it. I loved that everywhere you saw there were Minions, we also went on the new Transformers' ride which is exactly like Spiderman's...

On Sunday we went to the Outlet Mall and I got brand new luggage from Kipling! I also bought some clothes and we drove back to Tampa. We went to the Christmas Town in Busch Gardens and it was super fun because there were no lines! We rode every roller coaster twice and had a Christmas dinner (Patty and I ate mac and cheese with chicken fingers lol), and Mrs. Clause came to visit and sang with the kids. There was also a "SnowWorld" be Coca Cola and we did tubing and played with "snow" (crushed ice). It was super fun, and after that we went to Publix to buy me some food for the week. And the week finally ended, I'll miss my mom a lot but it's just two more weeks for me to go back home.

Week #27: Happy Halloween! (10/28/2013 - 11/03/2013)

On Monday I had my first job interview ever, in the Office of Housing of USF. I was interviewed at 2 while they were also looking at my portfolio and they asked me some common questions, how did I get into photography? Did I had any experience? Was I comfortable talking to other people? I think I did really well but I'm not that positive because I'm certain there are a lot of more talented people than I am on campus. I wore my new blue dress from Forever 21 and a long sleeve USF sweater along with beige flats. I hate flats! My feet are so weird, no shoe fits well. Well, they fit but I get blisters and stuff. After calculus I bought me some Pollo Tropical, I love their pork Tropichop and went back to my dorm and watched KUWTK. I seriously need to stop buying Whoppers, whenever I have them I can't stop eating them and whenever I don't have some I can't stop craving them!

While I was studying on Tuesday for calculus I had the
best frapuccino I've had from Starbucks:
Cinnamon Toast Crunch Frap :)

On Tuesday I kind of skyped with Alex, my connection was super low so we had to postponed our convo for another day, I missed foundation of engineering because I am allowed to miss one and this one was the last before Mechanical so this was my last chance and what a coincidence that it's the day before me calculus test. I've been in the library since 4 pm and it's now 9 pm, I'm having a light headache and I can't really keep going. I feel like I'm going to fail so bad :( I still don't understand some basic stuff which is really bad and I don't have the will power nor the energy to keep going. I want to make my mom proud and this isn't helping :(

On Wednesday I woke up stressed about the calculus test, and I still am. It's 12:30 and the test is at 4, so it's a long way to go. Also Alex texted me about something I wrote weeks ago about her relationship, her ex-other half wanted me to take out what I wrote, but this blog is my safe haven and I write what I feel like writing. I have learned throughout the years that you shouldn't be what others want you to or expect you to be, however I will stop writing about her life, one because it's not mine although she is part of mine, and two because well.. I don't want to upset her or anything. Before my calculus test I met up with Victoria and Ricardo to discuss what we were going to do for tomorrow's lab and we finished early so Victoria and I went to Mr. Fleeman's office hours to review before the test. At first the test felt kind of easy but has I turned the pages it turned harder and harder. I hope I didn't messed up but I have a very bad feeling about this test.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Although I didn't dress up, collected candy or go to any parties, I just don't believe in Halloween.
Thursday I had chemistry lab and we did fine once we figured out exactly what to do, apparently David hasn't dropped the class according to Justin, but he did tell us he had drop it, so what it's going on? Anyway, after lab I had some Panda Express for lunch and then went to Metropolitan Ministries to do some volunteering work. Sara gave me a ride along with a friend of hers and Sara and I worked at Outreach Outfitters and Outreach Market, I really prefer Outreach Market so next time I'm gonna try getting that place. So I have a hold for an advisor appointment that I did went to, and the hold states the contrary so I have emailed and called my advisor and NOTHING! I just emailed the Dean of Undergraduates because my registration date is this Monday and I need that hold taken! I'm stressing so much over that! The Croc's package also came in today, another package to store until mom comes, I also got the Disney tickets in the mail! I'm so excited! I haven't gone to Disney in ages.

On Friday I had a pretty normal day, I got two 3s on my past week's weekly assignment for AMS, a B on the draft and well... This day was simply plain. I feel fatter :( Maybe it was yesterday's Panda Express, I feel so bad I'll have a cleansing weekend :) Kaitlyn went back home for the weekend which is nice to have some days the room to yourself. I spent the rest of my day watching Grey's Anatomy and trying to do my math homework but it's simply very hard! I'm kind of waiting for that beast mode moment to hit me and sincerely I'm getting worried it's too late. Oh my mom also told me that there's going to be a Forever 21 in Panama and it's opening this November 9th! It's kind of exciting because I could have pretty clothes whenever I wanted but it takes the magic out of shopping in the US.

YouTube Daily Shoutout #24

First off is a video of Carly Rae Jepsen throwing the first pitch in a baseball game. I felt so sad and at the same time laughed a lot. The pitch was so girly. 

Next it's a proposal made in Downtown Disney. Lately I've been watching a lot of proposal videos, falling in love with their creative ideas and hoping one day I'd get a proposal if possible better than those on YouTube. 

And finally is another Kids React to, this one has a spin tho. It's not funny like other ones, this one actually teaches grown ups a lesson. Kids see the world's population as a whole, not by sections like some adults see it. These kid's opinions are very pure and we should follow their lead. RACISM SUCKS.
