My weekend highlight

So I met my first crush. Yes, that is John Travolta. See my idiot face? that is me after confessing my girl love to him. It was very random, we were at a party at the Ritz. We knew he was around due to some guy who was gloating. Our constant need for A/C made us go to the lobby. Fast forward and suddenly, I spotted him. I snubbed Geo and she looked up and she started hyperventilating*, then I got nervous due of her reaction. It was a blur. I kept calling him sir. He posed for a picture, I had EVIDENCE!!! He was most gentle guy ever. So happy I was with Geo since we share the same ridiculous obsession with everything Grease, Saturday Night Fever and Staying Alive. We are also have another crush in common, but that is another post( Baryshnikov anyone?)

So my weekend highlight was immortalized,( it could last more than a weekend, maybe until the US Open). Who can say that you get to meet your real first love? Not many...

*not usual in her- after all she was a professional dancer, not like me who stills thinks that I have a chance in stardom-well in reguetton stardom,at least

My 25 random things

I posted this on facebook, so why not here. Enjoy!

I sleep with my first pillow. Yes, it’s 31 years old. It’s gross and have rescued it twice from the trash ( mom tried to convince me that the pillow was the source of my nonexistent teenage acne-now, I think is the source of my anti aging regime)

I had mono at 3 years old. I French kissed everyone in pre-pre kinder and spread it to the whole class and Tania, my younger sister

I can’t sing save my life, I can’t draw and after running a quarter mile I’m breathless. Now give me high heels (the taller the better), champagne plus a good DJ and I will give you the endurance performance of a lifetime.

I have my mom’s body and my dad’s features. People say I look like my Mom and some people say my Dad. But what people don’t know is that my parents look alike. Freaky. I’m the only one of my three sisters that has brown eyes (although Tania, bless her heart, swears they are still beautiful).

My alter ego is a 16 inch waist burlesque stripper and performs in Forty Deuce with Dita Von Teese ( google her she is amazing)

My guilty pleasure is napping. Since I was little, Morpheus was on my side, rocking my cradle

I have the worst case of organizing procrastination. I love organized stuff. To me, Martha Steward is a semi good and but I wish I had the energy to organize ( Tania, my sister, can vouch for that-she divided our shared room many times with masking tape)

Contrary to popular belief, I don’t have a big J-lo style butt. I have HUGE hips which is totally different.

I had always wanted to have a scuba license, play a high level competitive tennis (I know) and speak French fluently. Somehow, procrastinating, socializing and nightlife keep getting in the way.

I’m an information junkie. News and useless info are my favorite vice (but it helps on trivia games and small talk-did you know that people photocopying their buttocks are the cause of 23% of all photocopier faults worldwide?; did you know that Prince Charles and Prince William never travel on the same airplane in case there is a crash?; did you know that the Pentagon in Arlington Virginia has twice as many bathrooms as is necessary.? When it was built in the 1940s the state of Virginia still had segregation laws requiring separate toilet facilities for blacks and whites)

I loathe spelling errors, not typos. I tend to judge people I have never met by email spelling horrors.

My friends use me as a memory storekeeper to remember who they dated and in which year

When my parents divorced they took my sister and me to a psychiatrist. His findings said that we were 10 years ahead on maturity level than the average kid. For some reason I find this totally untrue due to my choices in men.

I find appetizers more fun and happy than entrees. But I eat like a trucker so normally I eat both plus bread and dessert.

I find reality TV my heroin and Bravo is my dealer. My other fix is Rock of Love, nothing like white trash with amazing pole dancing skills and a washout rock star to make me feel special and hugged by Jesus.

My choices for professions as a kid were: butcher( I loved the smell of blood), fashion designer, forensic doctor, OB/GYN, and chef

My tween years were marked by: Menuditis, brownie production with Girls Just Wanna Have Fun previews at Mitin’s house, and window shopping at Camp Beverly Hills and Trafico @ Plaza Las Americas

I was born on July 1st, 1977, which means my birthday is the biggest holiday in Canada. I share my birthday with Pamela Anderson and Princess Diana (RIP). Can you see the similarities? Because I can

My first soft drink memory: Materva, a golden brown soda. It smells much like a champagne cola. Having a Cuban great uncle as a neighbor has its benefits.( that is were my love for Cubans started)

I live by Corretjer’s words: A human to be complete needs to plant a tree (I take very good care of my cow tongue’s plant), have a child (Carmela in the meantime) and write a book (does blogging count?)

I rather talk about sex than bowel movements, which is something puertorricans do while eating.

Geo, Jennifer and the whole office staff say I talk to loud. I swear I’m talking in a nice soothing range.

I can portray myself as loud with a strong character. In reality I suffer from delayed reaction which sucks at the time to engage in an intense discussion/opinion differences/fights. I’m a closeted softie and normally will freeze if somebody verbally attacks me ( it happened once and recently and was very affected by it)

I can’t believe the amount of selfish love I get from my 15 lbs daschund and I swear that she will talk any day now. I gravitate towards my two year old niece, Mia Sofia and will change my day’s routine to be near her and watch her laugh.

I’m proud to wear my heart on my sleeve and will try that everyday that passes by I will tell my love ones how much I love them. Everyday I thank God for the good, the bad and the ugly. I learn from my drama to appreciate my blessings.

Turning Tuesday around

After a crappy work Tuesday, I decided to to turn my day around and go for a run in Torrimar. It was exactly what my body needed and with Geo joining me at the last minute, it was entertaining as well. Trying to compare butts with a lady that was ahead of me, Geo took a picture which turned to be my own Nike "Just Do It" ad.

Later we hung for some homemade food and the impossible happened: Geo loved my baby spinach, campari tomato and raisin salad ( dressed with balsamic and evoo) . Yes, people the Queen of BK liked my greens, like to the verge that she kept stealing it from my plate.

At the end, my Tuesday was crappy but feeling good about myself and watching in awe Geo devoured green stuff made it better

Workout quotes:

It is exercise alone that supports the spirits, and keeps the mind in vigor. ~Marcus Tullius Cicero

Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it. ~Plato

Fitness - if it came in a bottle, everybody would have a great body. ~Cher

Movement is a medicine for creating change in a person's physical, emotional, and mental states. ~Carol Welch

From Treo to bb

I made the change. After listening to Geo for months talking about Blackberry messenger I caved in and made the switch. Apparently it works so well, that a promising relationship is on the horizon because of this marvelous characteristic ( I'm not telling only to protect the innocent). Hopefully my text message bill will go down after this. I'm learning how to work this stuff, but in the meantime please text me your pins until I figure out how to send mine.

Food for thought-Sisterhood

Today somebody made a comment about a picture of Geo and I in facebook that had to with the feelings we have for each other as friends and sisters . Lately, we have been a little emotional due to the fact that she's having a rough time (3 days left, dear) and both tears and tensions are in our sleeve. I felt sorry for the person who made the comment us; she has no girlfriends. It's funny because my relationship with women has been, most of the time, taken for granted. As part of a matriarch family, I was raised understanding and caring for the females around us. And as many of you know I have a magnificent, beautiful full blooded sister ( hi Tania!) and two incredible half sisters, but I found myself in awe by the love of my friends, my sisters by choice. And even when they ask for my help in their milestones ( I get to carry Alba's wedding dress in my car on Friday to the hotel- very important job) to me is in my natural instinct to just be there. So to my future partner in life, I am a flower of virtues but I come with an amazing package difficult to leave behind.
