Local Father's Day...

... That's today! The way it works is that God decides who you children are, and you are supposed to love them. However, when God gives you the opportunity to CHOOSE to be a daddy to someone else's children, and you take that role because of love... THAT is taking love to a whole new level. Big bro, thanks for taking over the role of loving and caring for my daughters as if they were your own. They love you with all their heart, not just because...

Mini Pizza a la Anelys

Today I was feeling under the weather... It hurts all over, and I needed some pampering. I am not really a fan of cooking, but today I decided to get adventurous and here it is the end result: "Mini Pizza a la Anelys". Took me under 15 minutes to have it ready to eat. It is just whole wheat Pita with tomato sauce (made by me from scratch), mozzarella cheese and turkey ham... It was SUPER yummy...

New adventures as an Interpreter

I have been working as an interpreter for 2 years already, and each day I love it more. There are many different types of interpreters for different lines of service, and each one brings a different type of satisfaction. It's nice to help people to communicate with their utilities provider, or their insurance company, or even government assistance agencies... But nothing compares to the feeling of fulfillment of being the voice of a non English...

Something IS really happening...

... but still, sooooooooo much left do! Makes me feel very PROUD... I guess it's time to give mself a Pat on my Back...

Summer Camp

My girls and oldest nephew have been attending a Summer Camp for the last couple of weeks. They get to do sooo many stuff, and it has been really fun for them. It has many sports, including swimming and they just can't get enough of it. Today, I decided to pay them a visit to be able to take pictures, and I was able to see them in several activities. My nephew is not a picture person, but for some reason, he cooperates with me. Maybe he does it...

My Prom's Anniversary - Part II

I posted last week about my 15th years anniversary of graduation school, and we had the second part of the celebration today. We decided to do it at the school itself, because it was going to be the only place where we can have such a large group without non related people. We decided to do it like a "field day" and we had many attractions for the kids. As my school is a Catholic School, first thing we did was to celebrate a Mass. The oldest kids...

More juicing mania... Red Power

I have been doing the juices that the nutritionist included on my diet, but there are days like today, that I feel more adventurous and wanted to try something different. I tried another recipe I found online and I learned that I have to use less celery because it killed the sweetness... The best way to describe the taste is that "it tasted like a sweet juice with a #$%* thing that killed the yummy flavor"... But it was still good!! Can't wait...

It's been 15 years...

... since my school years reached to an end! It's really crazy to think that I have been an adult for THAT long. We were a total of 125 at our senior year, and most of us were together since preschool. There were different classes, but every school year, they used to mix us in order for each one of us to have at least one school year together. At the end, all 125 of us are very close and we know each other well. For our 15 years anniversary,...

Evaluation at the gym

Today I was due for my mid program evaluation at the gym. I was very nervous, but looking forward to see if my hard work has paid off... even if just a little bit. People say that I look less chubby, but I really can't tell much in the mirror. Well... According to the measurements and the complete evaluation, I already reached 33% of my goal!! I cannot put into words how happy it makes me.  I just know that I can't stop... I need more and...
