Hey everybody!! I'm creating a 'Girls Survival Guide" for the latina power conference on the 4th.  I'm looking for tips, quotes, and things to include in the guide. ANY IDEAS? :) I'd really love to hear ideas on what to include :)

Today is a special day, My good friend was born on the 27th day of May, It took me exactly 19 years to meet her,

Even if I was born 2 years before her she always maneuvered being the oldest pretty well,

She is quite different you see, Her heart is…

Well Kristen Wig in bridesmaid is a little short of enthusiasm when she finds out her best friend is engaged. I am not going to lie I truly thought the movie bridesmaids was going to tank. My mom is the one that pushed me to see it and I am really glad she did. I love Kristen Wig she has always been hilarious and sometimes she makes SNL awesome. Well she made this movie rock as well as some…

Last night was one of the best nights of my life. 

 

I watched Paris Je T'aime.....my best friend had told me that it was a great movie and I reall

y wanted to watch it. 

So yesterday, Wednesday, part of my biweekly ritual is to go to Blockbuster to rent movie

s since it's 2 for 1 Wednesdays. I'd like to think that I'm the one keeping Blockbuster in business since Netflix and Red box have taken for movie rentals. 

I still think that…

It is incredible to think that there are only 3 days left of senior year! It's funny to think I remember seniors saying to me it comes faster than you think, but I never really believed it. Well let me tell you it went by too fast. It wasn't until I was helping a friend edit the senior slide show for graduation that it hit just how much I am going to miss high school. I miss the football games and senoir week and homecoming week and all the crazy silly pep rallies we had. With 3 days left… Continue

While at work today we had a big gap of time, no customers have come in so we decided to put some movies on. One of my co-workers had the series of gLee with her. At first I wasn't sure if I would get into this show. I know that I am a season behind or so, but I actually got addicted. I figured that it's something that I would…

So last night I get a phone call from my mom and she lets me know that the CDC (center for disease control) has released an article about a zombie attack! Immediately I am freaking out. I should probably explain that since a young I have been traumatized of zombies- I blame my cousins for always playing resident evil around me. Anyway way though I panicked and looked up the article immediately.

It really wasn't about zombies but a cute & funny spin on how to handle any natural…

When I was younger my mother always taught me if I didn't have anything nice to say I shouldn't say it at all. I feel there are so many grown adults that need to learn this "golden" rule. I always thought what made our country amzing is the fact that you can express your opinion and not be persecuted for it. This was not the case when KVIA interviewed one of my fellow classmates. Edwin Felix is number four in my graduating class and has a very promising future. He recently spoke out about…

So I was watching TED.com again and I came across this awesome poetry performance! I really wanted to share because I think you would enjoy as well. 

I believe that creativity and the arts are fundamental for our community. School focuses so much in subjects like English and Math that are very important but what about things like dance, poetry, creative writing, music, painting, photography, etc. This are all ways that we express ourselves and that makes us very different than any…

As I entered the gates to the first ever music festival in El Paso (on left), I remembered that one fateful Tuesday morning when I was assigned to head out for a City Council Meeting to cover a story. Not the most interesting story I've gotten but I took it and was excited to attend my first city council meeting.

 

Unbeknownst to me was what I was about to hear during the meeting that would change the course of this past weekend. 

A group of El Paso natives…

I don't know about you guys, but I can't stand this wedding anymore! At first I didn't really mind hearing about it and it was a little interesting. But now things have gotten out of hand! E! news covered the wedding for a straight month, non-stop almost. They had so many different segments about it. Now after the wedding I figured it would be done. Oh was I wrong though? Now, a week after this ridiculous wedding, Yahoo wants to cover it. Frankly, If I knew whom to send a letter to I would…
