Congreso de Lideres






Sorry I havent been able to post about my thanksgiving adventure, its sort of a long story lol. But a story worth talking about, maybe on my next post. Today I want to talk about this convention/workshop I went to as soon as thanksgiving break was done. This convention took place on the Marriott in Condado, P.R and goes by the name "Congreso de Lideres"(Congress of Leaders.) Those two days were one of the most hardest and interesting days of my life. They truly helped me form and give shape to the way I want to tackle my future. They opened my mind to see how this world truly functions and how one way or another everything is connected. I understood that you create and mold your vision of the future, but life molds small pieces that make a huge different in the ending results. 

Every mistake is a coincidence! We must not fear mistake for it is from them that we truly learn. Thats one of the big things I learned there. Among others I learned that in this world if you want to get things done you have to do it yourself, not wait for others to think or make the decision first. If we come to see, it is you who need to make the difference not the others. Those things are just small samples of the great conversations we have with some of the most important leaders in our country like, Kurt Schindler, Edwin Rodrigues, John Richardson, etc, etc. 

All an all the experience was great and I had a vast amount of time to go exploring the hotel. The rooms were really comfortable and had great views of the ocean. The food was beyond great, and I had an opportunity to experience a fancy meeting of the San Juan Rotary club. All of this thanks to the work of two beautiful, great and interesting ladies. Hilda Brizzie and Vanessa Caban, truly did an amazing job creating and building this Convention and to them I have to give the biggest of thanks for letting me form part of that team and letting me go through all this wonderful experiences!!

10 Reasons why we deserve a Summer Vacation!


Sometimes for us soon to be college students we forget the great things about summer.  To be honest not only us but all of those who work all year long nonstop its just mad. To all of those moms that spend their days working with their kids, and at the house trust me we can all forget about summer! So to bring back this spark I have 10 reasons for anybody of why we deserve a summer vacation.

  1. It might be one of our last. 
  2. We survived finals, our jobs, kids and life.
  3. Our bodies are begging for us to get some sleep.
  4. We can catch up on our summer readings.
  5. Vitamin D is good for our health.
  6. Sand exfoliates our skin.
  7. We deserve time to cook more than coffee and cereal, if you know what I mean!
  8. You can write cheesy FB/Twitter status on how you are having a great time at the beach or just sleeping alot and make your friends jealous! :3
  9. We get to have another crazy summer story to cherish in our hearts.
  10. Why not!?!
Dont be selfish and give your body, mind, and spirit a break. Let them feel alive and full of energy and you will be ready to take on this coming year!! Go out and have fun. Catch up with old friends, throw portch parties do all you want and never regret it. 
Have fun this summer cause you deserve it!

The Croissant


Lately I have been having this obsession with croissants. Every time I pass through a pastry I ask for a croissant and not long ago I tried making croissants. How did that go? Well after several tries, I managed to make that croissant that just leaves you wanting for more. 
The Croissant was born possibly the year 1838 or 1839, when an Austrian Officer came across a Viennese Bakery that served kipferl. Now, kipferl was what inspired the croissant!! For those french imitators started baking kipferl and because of the crescent shape it formed, decided to named it Croissant.

Thats when the croissant started to become renown around all of France. Nowadays bakers have played with the original croissant recipe and found other ways to mix in other tastes. For example we have ham and cheese croissant, chocolate filled croissant and many more. Hopefully Ill try all of the croissants the world has to offer and I will do it with pleasure. Therefore here is the recipe I used to bake my croissants (recipe).
If you burn them its OK, that happens and if you don't burn them the first time do not comment!! Hahaha Cause I accidently burnt mines!

DIY Photo Time-Capsule

I recently read this great article on Photojojo, about using a disposable camera as a time capsule. I have never had the chance to do a time capsule project but seeing how simple and fun this project seems I might as well give it a try! Apparently when you take pictures with your disposable camera and leave it for a couple of years. Once you develop the film your pictures will have this lomographish and retroish effect on them. Isn't that interesting!? Here are the steps to do this easy DIY Project!




STEP 1: Buy a cheap disposable camera.

STEP 2: Take your disposable camera everywhere you go for a week, or on a vacation. Take pictures of all your friends. Fill it up with photos.

STEP 3: Write your name, address, phone, email, today’s date, and the words “Photo Time Capsule! Develop me in a few years” on the camera. Sock it in a drawer.

STEP 4: Let time pass. Move in and out of relationships, jobs, apartments. Find happiness and live life fully.

STEP 5: Rediscover camera in some dusty box, bookshelf, or corner. Develop it.

STEP 6: Admire the odd stains and scratches on the photos you get back. Marvel at what your sepia-toned life was once like. Sigh, smile.

Travel Diary: Palomino

                                   Location:  Palomino, PR



This long weekend was one of the best and yet dangerous weekends of the month! My family and I decided to join a group of friends in their little boat get together at Palominos. I have to say I got burned badly!! But I have to look at the bright side, at least I wont look pale for a while. The weather was great, the wind was perfect and at night the stars were at its best! 












To finish our long weekend we decided to stop at Brass Cactus, in Luquillo.  Man was that Kahlua & Bailey Cheesecake good!!!

  • Lasers are so much fun! Need to learn how to sail one.

Great weekend, good food and sunsets! Hope you enjoyed your long weekend!

Oh Happy Day!!





Today was amazing! It was the first time my best friend, Yomarie, managed to hang out with me and another close friend. You see we have been planning for her to hang out with us.But most of the time she cant go due to her parents or because we just didnt plan correctly. Gladly that wasn't a problem today!! 


We managed to eat pizza and go to Maggie Moo's. After that we just ate our ice-cream in the car and joked around the whole night. Nana (another great friend of mine that forms my love triangle) got crazy with the camera and started taking photos at everything. That was my happy day. A simple day that will be remembered forever. It will be another scar of happiness in my blog. For it is the simple things that we remember the most.



"I have no clue"



"My sister being the mature one"

As a final picture Ill leave you with my friend going all berserk on the car. You all have a great night, need to get some sleep!!

Studying at Starbucks...


Today was the first time I got to go out with my fellow friends from the new school! I have to say I actually had a great time. I mean we were meant to be studying and we sort of did. But most of the time we were just joking around and wasting money at Starbucks. We bought two big cinnamon rolls, one coffee cake, two mocha frappuccino and one Java Chip frappuccino(mine!). BTW for those of you who haven't tried the Java Chip frapuccino, I recommend you do!

The Java Chip frappuccino is composed of coffee with rich mocha-flavored sauce blended with milk, chocolaty chips and ice. Topped with sweetened whipped cream and chocolate-flavored drizzle. I usually order the White Mocha but I have decided to try out every single thing at Starbucks. Therefore the Java Chip was creamy, cold, chocolaty and really good. In other words it past the test! 

Hope you all had a good Thursday, ill be leaving now cause I am tired and my bed is screaming my name. So remember, go to Starbucks and try yourself a Java Chip frappuccino

BTW If there is a drink from Starbucks you love and recomend, you can write to us on facebook here!! Or go to contacts and send us an e-mail!
