Okay, let me just let it out, guys stink (especially SOMEONE who always seems to make my life impossible by spreading lies about me!!!!!!!!!!) and I want to go to Orlando this weekend but I can't, work is tough, I got a bleach stain on my new pants, and I want my room back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Okay, I am frustrated right now, but it could be SOOOOO much worse....still, in my little corner,I'm just a little flustered right now...it'll be okay, I know.....Just needed to vent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So....no work tomorrow because of hurricane Katerina, wooo hooo!!!! PARTEEEEEEEE!!!!! There isn't anything better than being able to chill at home, snuggle up to watch a good movie or read a book while you hear the rain outstide...I love it!
Well, God has been showing me SOOO much through this new job. I feel like the learning experience is helping to mold me into someone who is aware of many more things in life...like the fact that everything really is vain if you don't have God...and that the choices that you make earlier on in life will definitely affect you later on. I see these other girls at my work who are aides and single mothers, trying to make it on an almost minimum wage pay. And then sometimes I stop to think...that could have been me...if I had decided to take a different road. These girls are my age, and yet our lives differ so much.
Sometimes I feel strange...I am their supervisor, yet their struggles and needs are way greater than mine. I just pray that I may be able to show them how much God loves them and cares for them. I pray that they may be able to make wise decisions so that their children may be able to go on and make different choices. It's just amazing what you see when you get out there. Sometimes we get way too stuck in our bubble world, where we don't think about anyone but ourselves. But take a step outside, and you'll meet the greatest variety of poeple, each with their very own unique story, pain, dreams, hopes....These are the people that God loves. The people that he decided to lay his life down for...why can't we step out of our convinient worlds and reach out to them and show them that love? I hope that while I'm at this job my aides will be able to see that.

So, these past two weeks have been crazy beyond belief! I've realized that the hardest part of my job is not dealing with my students, but rather with the adults and my fellow coworkers. As humans, we're so imperfect...gosh, I miss the target so many times. I'm just feeling extra melancholic tonight. And I miss going to school...I'm a nerd.

Feeling blessed!!!

2005-08-09T21:00:00.000-04:00

Yesterday was my first official day of paid "teaching"!!! I really love UCP, and I love my students. They are the cutest! Teaching pre-k is a completely different experience, I never realized that it took so much work. Most of the time I'm on the floor or running after a kid...let me tell you, I'm going to be in awesome shape! Not only that, but I get to take the metro to work and so far I've really enjoyed it. I feel like I'm back in Bogota, with the whole city vibe around me. I LOVE IT!
What I can't believe is that the summer is over! It started off with graduation, then the anguish of finding a job, and it ended with the realization that I have the best friends & family in the whole entire world =0)
I never thought that I would be so close to everyone at Calvary Chapel, and I never thought that I would grow to love my new friends, like Sherwin, Ely and LaShon so much!
Other stuff that changed this summer that was such an answered prayer was camp.....I was such a huge difference in everyone that went from Youth Nation...I'm so thankful for Jose, BJ, Belkis, Evelyn, Shawn and all the leaders for investing in the lives of YN =0) and let me just say, Youth Nation totally rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I probably sound pretty sappy but I don't care, I'm thankful for everything that God has given to me and I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS. Raquels I love you and I miss youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

2005-08-06T00:21:00.000-04:00

I MISS ANDREW & THOMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wowsers =0)

2005-07-28T00:49:00.000-04:00

Today is going down as one of the best days ever!!!!!

It started with the fact that there wasn't any traffic getting to downtown to UCP, so that totally put me in great mood. Then, as I sat there signing papers to start working at UCP, I found out that the lady who is in charge of human resources is Christian too! She had verses decorating her office walls and I was just so happy to see that the company that I'm going to be working allows that...it just makes the whole place seem brighter!

Then, after I left UCP, I went to the dealer to look for my new car...I was in between the Scion Tc and the Sporty Corolla but I finally made the decision to go for the Corolla...the Tc is gorgeous but with my giant brothers having a two-door becomes pretty inconvinient. Too bad that they didn't have it in four door! But anywhooo, my corolla kicks serious butt. It's pimped out, and I LOVE IT! =0) I also got the most awesome discount on it, so I really got a great deal which means that I can save up for other stuff like trips, school, investments, etc.....
Then, I just have to say that my friends rock! Everyone I told has been happy for me and I don't know, I'm just feeling super duper right now. And all I can do, as I reflect on this day, is thank God for being so faithful and good to me...I know that each one of the blessings that I encountered come from him, and I just can't believe that he loves me so much! =0)

Vacation...feeling refreshed....sorta?

2005-07-18T00:23:00.000-04:00

Sorry that I haven't posted in a while.......this past week I've been out having fun in the sun with the family =0)

I spent the earlier half of the week toasting my buns on the beach and then I headed to Sarasota to hang out with my aunt Amanda and my cool cousins. I had such a blast with Alex and Mitza and Steph...I love my family, what can I say??? It was great to get out of Miami and be in a different environment...the problem now is that I don't want to be back!!!
I don't know how to explain this feeling that I have. It's like an itch that I just can't get rid of. I feel like my time in Miami is up, but I don't know how much of it is being tired of Miami or just wanting to move. You see, I don't picture myself living anywhere in particular forever. Actually, the thought of living in one place forever scares me!
So that feeling mixed with the other of transition from being a college student to an working career "person" just has me thinking lately. It feels great to have this time in my hands, to be single and make decisions and not have them made for me. I love it! Though, at the same time, it's like you're standing at this crossroad in life. It's exciting, it's new...let's just see what God has in store next! =0)

Yay!!!!!! =0)

2005-06-30T11:48:00.000-04:00

Hey guys, guess what??????? I GOT A JOB!!!! I'm officially a career woman =0)
I'm going to be working downtown at United Cerebral Palsy with kids 0-2 yrs!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited!!! I was really praying for this job because its exactly what I wanted =0) God is awesome!!!!
The best part is that I get to wear srubs to work, yay! Those are freakin comfy!!!!!!!

THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE SUMMER OF ANDREA!!!

2005-06-21T20:45:00.000-04:00

Oh gosh, I feel like George from Seinfeld. He wanted a "summer of George"...I wanted a "summer of Andrea"....but has it happened? no! will it happen, nope! All the stress of being an unemployed grad STINKS BIG GLUTEUS MAXIMUS to the MAXIMUS times a million. Gosh, I wish that I was still in school.
Seriously, I can be a professional student. Does anyone need one anywhere??? Whatever it is, I'll study it, I'll pass your tests...just don't let me be an unemployed grad!
Today I was talking to my mom...I told her that I really don't picture myself teaching forever and she let out one of those all too familiar motherly gasps. You know, the kind were you know you just said something horrible and you'll be paying for it for days to come.
But the truth is, I really don't picture myself doing anything forever. Heck, I don't even picture myself living in this city forever. ( I would like to think that I owe this to the fact that I have moved a million trillion times) All I know is that God holds me in the palm of His hand...and that is enough...ultimately, all I can do is rest in Him.
summer of Andrea = summer of trusting God with the plans that he has for my life

star-stuck?

2005-06-10T10:39:00.000-04:00

Last Friday I recieved the most awesome news (or so I thought so at the time).
It turned out that the tutoring service that I work for needed a tutor that knew Colombian spanish to coach an actor for an upcoming movie ( I can't say the name)...lets just say that Colin F. and Jamie F. are actors in the movie too. Anywhooo...
I was so excited! I mean, I would have to lie if I said that I wasn't a bit star-strucked! Everyone I knew was happy for me, and thought that it was a golden opportunity...but in the midst of it all, I didn't realize what it all really meant.
It turned out that my tutoring service wanted me to lie to get the job. I refused to (I hate lies! Nothing good comes from them!!!!) and still sent a copy of my true resume, and nevertheless, I still got the job...I was so disappointed though. Happy that I got the job, but disillusioned at the state of humanity and how they make such a big deal out of worshipping other people who are no different than you and I.
You see, my employer didn't see anything wrong with lying...nor do a majority of the people out there in this world. It's for "the chance of a lifetime" type of job. "You'll get to meet Colin F- you can't pass this up!" but I sure can!
You see, at the beginning, I was super excited...but now, after last night...it really isn't phasing me! I think that I'd be much more excited if I was going to meet up with someone that really meant the world to me. All this superficiality in the world is really killing me. I want something real instead....something true, that will last.
So while other people would die at the thought of meeting someone Colin F, I would instead die at the thought of being caught up in all that mockery, even though I was, for a few brief hours.

Tonight we had the first meeting for the girl's group and it rocked!!! I'm so happy that we're starting it up again this summer...I'm so thankful that it was an awesome time and that we were able to play charades again!!! I didn't realize how much I had missed it!!
I can't wait to see how God is going to use this group of girls. It's amazing stuff!

Anywhooo...tomorrow night I'm going to go see anberlin! wooo hooo!!!

I'm in a really good mood tonight....actually, I've been in a great mood this week. I guess it's vacation getting to me! I love waking up and being able to plan out my day as I wish...if only it was always this way! Seriously, I think graduation is overrated. You graduate only to gain more responsibility and to have more worries looming over your head. For those of you in school, enjoy it! It is precious time!!!!!!!!

Anywhoooo...I am also in a great mood because once again I can't believe how blessed I am to have such an amazing family and awesome friends! =0) I am especially thankful this week for the new friends that God has brought into my life this year...like Ely and the Sherwinator...I just want to say that you guys rock and that I love ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =0) And everyone else, I love you too of course!!! ahhhh I'm too sappy, but its the truth...God has blessed me with amazing people!

Okay...sappy Andrea has to sign off now.........=0)

Yippeee! This explains a whole lot...everyone should take this one! =0)

You sure do march to your own beat...

But you're so weird, people wonder if it's a beat at all

You think on a totally different wavelength

And it's often a chore to get people to understand you

How Normal Are You?

2005-05-23T01:06:00.000-04:00

This weekend started off with an awesome teaching @ youth group w/BJ, and a little bit of Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys while driving back from the Gables on Friday night! I was in the car with Corina, her friend Sarah and two other dudes from Calvary Miami when Sarah and I decided to bolt out "If you want to be my lover, you gotta get with my friends" (by the way, how wrong is that lyric????) Anywhooo...it was fun, and even though I was dead tired, I still did my cool spice girl dance LOL

Saturday I went shopping (YIPEEEEE!) and got some cool stuff! =0) I just can't believe what girls out there are wearing these days...and every store seems to carry the same style of lets-not-leave-anything-to-the-imagination gear...it stinks!!! And the worst thing is that now more than ever you see all these teenage girls ( and since it's Miami, older geezer women too) decked out in these awful lung-bearing shirts. Scary stuff guys!!!!!

Today I went to Vineyard for the first time and I saw the Sherwinator play...cool stuff! Okay...enough about my weekend! =0)

=0(

2005-05-20T16:51:00.000-04:00

sniffles...won't be able to go to Seattle...but it's ok! I still want to plan a cool trip! God knows best!!!!!!!!

What a morning!

2005-05-20T09:30:00.000-04:00

I'm here at Richmond Heights Middle School, subbing for "the Sherwinator!" LOL
The students are watching a movie called Evolution, which is great for me because I get to sit here and do my own thing while they just sit there...good stuff!

Anyways, this morning was crazy...just one of those mornings that you wonder why you woke up in the first place. I felt horrible, and on top of that, my mother and I had to stop by Thomas's English teacher's room and explain why he didn't have his English project....(the truth is, we accidentally recorded over it last night...big time oooops!) but she was so understanding, thank God, and she gave him time to do it over! It's just amazing how little things like this happen that frazzle us but remind us of God's promises...this time it was "all things work for good for those who love Him" =0) So in a way, the accident rocked! Even though we could of all done without all the extra stress...

In good news, actually great news, I might be heading over to Seattle this summer with Alex for a week and a half to visit Fernando!!!!! It will be so awesome to get away and have fun visiting Fernando, Deshna, and Kaila!!! God is awesome =0) I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really hope that it all works out!!!!!

This one is hilarious!

2005-05-05T11:02:00.000-04:00

A world without you means
A world still,
Incomplete

A search for what I love
Leaving me empty,
Discontent

I try to find you in the immense silence of the night
Hoping to hear your voice,
shinning truth on what we were
Of a home that I once knew
but has left me since

2005-05-02T22:56:00.000-04:00

This was my hot boy toy @ FIU...hehe! =0) I'm so nervous right now, on the eve of graduation...I'm just thinking about everything that has changed throughout these fours years at FIU and I can't believe it! I feel a little funky about closing this door...it means letting go of so much and moving on...trusting God with every single plan that he has for me. I'm just queasy and nostalgic right now....I'm in a funk! =0/ And it doesn't help thinking about how I'm going to walk across the stage. All I can think right now is "God, please don't let me eat it!" ....I think that it's going to be a loooong night!

Wasaaaaaaaa

2005-05-02T17:41:00.000-04:00

Well today I am still making up for this weekend...I've barely had any sleep!!!!! So I'm in a chilling out mood, listening to dashboard confessional...it feels great to be able to relax like this!
Anyways, this weekend was quite fun, all but some brief episodes of unnecessary drama, that is!!!!!! But I won't go into details...anywhoooo, Naty's Bongo's bash was great, I had sooo much fun dancing, all except for the creepy dudes that thought that they could join us! I hadn't had so much fun dancing in a while...well since the last time that we went to Mojito's for Rakel's b-day. I really want to do something cool like that again...and since I'm graduating, what could be more fun???? =0) yay!
Sunday was awesome too, even though we took forever at Dadeland, hehe, but thanks Anabanana for coming along, we have to hang out more!!!! And Denny's after The Rock was super fun, I just can't believe Rakel wants to have an Indian baby LOL!!!!!!!! "Say my name, say my name..." LOL

Guys, I got a new doggy too....not to replace my Nikki (because he will forever be number one in my heart) but to have a new puppy to share with. Well... she's a chihuahua toy and she's all white and tan...super cute!!!!
We're still deciding on a name sooooooooo, if you have any suggestions, let me know!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love you guyssssssssss, byeeeeeeeee!

Feeling better...

2005-04-28T11:39:00.000-04:00

Hey guys, I'm feeling a whole lot better!!! The pain is still there, but I rest in knowing that God is in control and that He knows better!!! I am just glad that I was able to rest upon my family and friends, and I really want to say thank you to everyone who was there. If anything, I can say that this experience has shown me that I have the coolest and most understanding family and friends. So...
Thank you Mr. flfirefighter for listening to me when I needed someone to understand how I felt...You always told me that if I needed anything that I could call you, and I did and you were there, so know that I'm here for you too!
Thank you Raquel for always listening to me and understanding (even though you didn't like him, hehe) and for making me laugh!!! (I can wag my tail too!! Ms. Piddle-Fiddle!!)
Thank you Fernando, Alex, Amanda, Vivi, and all my crazy cousins and family for letting me know that even though we are miles apart, we are still Camacho-macho-men and women who are always there to bear each other's burdens and to feel each other's pain... I love you guys so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Jeff for trying to make me laugh through it all...."Wait, I'm half-naked right now...where is sunset???" hehe
Thank you Carlos for listening to me, AGAIN, lol, last night and for being the cool friend that you are....
Thank you Eli because you were there when I needed someone to talk to and all I can say that it is awesome that I have a friend like you!!!! You rock!!!!!!! =0)
I know that there are plenty others....but just know that I appreciate everyone being there and just listening to me...you guys are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you alllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Give You my World...

2005-04-22T23:06:00.000-04:00

I just got back from youth group and I'm just here chillin listening to "Give You my World" by Phil Wickham (awesome CD, thanks Corina!!!!).
Tonight BJ taught and he totally rocked! On the way home my brothers were commenting on how he really made them pay attention and think, and I personally like the challenge for the week, to lead a set apart life that would make others ask what is different about us...that our lives may ultimately lead others to God's love. That is what I want, to lead a life that is real. I'm tired of the vanity of the world...I long to be different, to go against the current, to stand for something so powerful and true that it consumes all that I am. So I chose to stand, to live for the only thing I know to be true, love. Not just any love....true, unconditional love; God's love. I can't imagine living for anything or anyone else, because without my God, life is just a castle in the sand, a vain attempt to fill the longing in my heart for a love like no other...
So I can just hope to give Him my world. To stay back and watch my almighty Father light my soul and make me whole.
There is a peace that can't be contained, it burrows its way to the depths of my soul, it changes my life, my entire being, it covers me, it makes me whole....

Anelle's b-day bash @ the Grove

2005-04-22T01:07:00.000-04:00

These pictures are from Anelle's little b-day get together! We went to the grove, but Anelle ditched the group and was on a mission to find herself some flaming hot Johnny Rockets waiters to make her night!!!! These were the talented and brave men that decided to sacrifice their time to strike a pose with her!!! hehe! =0)

IT IS OVER!!!!!!!

2005-04-21T16:12:00.000-04:00

Okay, this is perhaps one of the happiest days of my life! Today was my last day at Claude Pepper Elementary as an intern!!! YOOOOO HOOOO!!!! =0) It was so sad to leave the kids...but at the same time I am so excited because now I know for sure that I have found something that I truly love to do and that keeps me challenged.
The cool thing is that now I'm going to be subbing until this school year ends so Monday I get to go back to the same class and be their teacher one more time. Oh gosh, I miss them so much! Sniff sniff!!! Today it was so cute because they all told me that they were going to miss me and they gave me tons of hugs and showered me with kisses, hehe...now I have enough germs on me to become the outbreak monkey!!! The teacher also surprised me by having each of the students come up and tell me one way that I had helped them. Some of the answers were surprising! I had one student tell me that I had helped him behave better. LOL! Go figure!!! Well...now that this is over with I enter a new frontier....shopping for graduation!!!! hehe =0) Actually, now it's job hunting time. I just pray that God puts me in an awesome school!
Until the next time, oh buffy! cheerio! LOL

Max, you're the man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Relay for Life....and saying good-bye...and could it be, I love FIU????

2005-04-02T20:19:00.000-05:00

Hey guys! Sorry that I haven't posted in a while but I have been super busy!!! But...I will be ending my internship soon (just three more weeks!) and I will be graduating MAY 3rd!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOO HOOOO!!!!!!!!!! Oh Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =0)

Last night was one of my last official FIU events, Relay for Life. It's an all night event and it's done by the American Cancer Association in honor of cancer patients and survivors, and to raise money for research. Let me tell you guys, it was AWESOME!!!! I was there representing my honor society, Golden Key, and we truly rocked! Out of all of the clubs, frats, and sororities at FIU, we raised more money than anyone else for the SECOND YEAR IN A ROW!!! =0) And not only that, but we had the coolest decorations, costumes, and we won the most spirit points too. It was all because we hired these two R&B singers to come out and sing, and they wooed the crowd and all of these girls left them money on the stage which ended up going towards our club! Oh yeah!!!! Ha! So take that party frat boys....you guys may have the looks but WE HAVE THE BRAINS! hehe!!!! You see, it is ultimately true...nerds will take over the world! hehe! =0)

I had such a great time...and I really regret waiting until my senoir year to get involved with everything, but at least I have this wonderful memory! I just can't believe that I'm going to be saying good bye to it all soon...just when it was starting to feel so much like home, I'm going to be leaving it! Oh, what am I saying? I'm a nerd, I'll be back studying there again, snickering about the crowds of annoying freshmen and the horrible parking, hehe. But, deep down, I have to admit...through these four years I've really grown to love FIU! sniff sniff, I'll miss it!

Anywhoooo....I'll be posting pictures soon....until next time!!!!!!! Byeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

WOWSERS!!! I've made it to.......SPRING BREAK!!!!!!!!

2005-03-17T23:26:00.000-05:00

Hellooooooo! I've finally made it to Spring Break (alive!...well almost, I think that I'm coming down with ANOTHER cold) and I just can't believe it!

This week has been the toughest by far. I had to turn in all of my work to my supervisor, as well as a video tape of me teaching. Not only that, but I also had to have a super duper lesson to do with the kids when she came in. The great news is that she loved it all and now I am free and I only have four more weeks to go at this internship. I am so excited!!!!

This internship has taught me a lot....most of all, to rely on God! I'll admit it, I'm someone who likes to be composed, a perfectionist and in control with my work, and through all of the unfair situations that I've had to face this semester, I've had to give that part of me up and fully seek God. I know that I can't do it without Him! No matter how prepared I am, if I don't get down and pray every day before it all starts, I am nothing! It doesn't matter how much I've studied or how much I know...I need Him to make it through. I've never relied on His strength as much as I have now. I have woken up with zero strength to do this job, emotionally drained from all of the conflicts that I've had to face, but he has remained eternally faithful, He has been there.
It's more than saying it...I don't know how to explain it, but if you've been through something like this, I'm sure that you know how it feels to just be completely surrendered, to come to the conviction that you are absolutely nothing, and that He is all! I've done it with other areas in my life, but I guess this was one that I was definitely keeping from Him. I thought that I could make it on my own, but I can't! And it's perhaps the best news I've recieved in all of my life!!!!

I love my God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =0)

2005-03-09T15:59:00.000-05:00

Okay, so it is not Pancresia, but that is what we like to tell other people, hehe! This is Raquel, and she is absolutely the coolest friend!!! We go way back...all the way back to when I was in tenth grade and she decided to visit the Sunset Cell (Bible study) group. After laughing tremendously at the same stupid stuff, we knew that we were meant to be friends forever! And she truly has....she has been there through the good, the bad, and the ugly!!!!! She has been the best example of what a true friend is and I love her...sniff sniff!!!Well yesterday, March 8, she turned 21!!!!! So Happy Birthday Miz Rakel Tito Williams!!!! LOVE YA TONS!!!!! - Petrufia Lupe LOL

Wasaaaaaaa

2005-03-07T21:04:00.000-05:00

Hey guys! I'm sorry that I haven't been able to post any pics up lately....I've just been extremely busy with this internship. But I will whenever I have some free time! Anyways....do any of you know how to change the background color of the blogger? I've tried changing every other color, but I can't find how to this one in the script. Anywhoooo, any help would be great!!! =0)

Woooo Hoooo!!! Parteeeeeeee!!!!!

2005-02-26T01:21:00.000-05:00

Hi guys, it's 1:21 am...it's officially MY BIRTHDAY!!!!! Sapo verde to meeeeeee!!!! hehe =0) I am 23 and I can't belive it! It sounds super duper old! I don't even want to say how old I am anymore....wowsers, when you think about it.....only seven more years to 30!

Anyways, I didn't end up going to the beach this weekend afterall with the girl's Bible study group that we had last summer....there is WAY too much work to do this weekend, and I need to spend time with my family as well. What can I say? I love them a whole bunch! I had an awesome time tonight though! After youth group, I went to Coldstone with Corina, Lindzie, and Anabel. They are the coolest girls in the youth group, and I love them to death! I am so thankful that I have such a wonderful ministry that I can serve in and that I can share in with these girls...sniff sniff, they mean so much to me! I will have to post some pictures up soon...

Oh, and by the way....I own a copy of Napoleon Dynamite now! Ha! That's flippin' awesome. What can I say? You gotta have the skills....numchuck skills, computer hacking skills.....haha LOL =0)

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

2005-02-23T23:35:00.000-05:00

Hey guys! I am going crazy!!!!!! Banana bonkers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This semester has been the toughest by far. I never imagined how draining it would be to do this internship and how much it was going to take up from my life. So far, I haven't had too good of an experience with my cooperating teacher or with the principal at the school. Basically, they just see me as free work and someone to boss around to give them an ego boost. It stinks!!!!!! And the worst thing is, I'm doing full time work, doing projects for school still, and I'm not getting payed!!!! ARGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!! But, there are only seven weeks left, so all of y'all please pray for me =0) I'm thankful for this opportunity, and because I can study and not have to worry about working, but I just need to stay focused on what counts...so here I go! YIKES!

Hey guys, check out my NEW LOOK.....

2005-02-18T17:28:00.000-05:00

well....not really, hehe! But I will be making the same pose on MAY 3 @ 10am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES I WILL BE GRADUATING!!!!!!!!! WOOOOO!!!! I can hardly believe it! I am going to be jumping up and down like never before! I will be closing the door to a chapter in my life, and I feel so FREE, it is incredible. Graduating high school, I was still someone that wasn't really thinking about things, I wasn't very wise either. But now....I feel like I have the truth down, finally! And I may not be that wise still, but at least I know WHO to turn to....God! So I feel great!!! I know what I want and it's only what God wants. What is better than that?!?! =0)

Hellooooooo!

2005-01-24T08:57:00.000-05:00

This Christmas break I spent a lot of time hanging out with Alex, my spunky cousin who I love & miss deeply! He's a busy starving artist attending the Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota....and their mascot just happens to be the feisty armadillo! Funny stuff!!!!!
Anyways, one of the nights that he was here we were going through music, and he introduced me to this band called Nickel Creek....they are all acoustic folk type of stuff....not weird folk, but really nice and beautiful songs with amazing lyrics...anyways, there is one song in particular that I absolutely love! Here it is...

When You Come Back Down

You gotta leave me now
You gotta go alone
You gotta chase a dream
One that’s all your own
Before it slips away

When you’re flying high
Take my heart along
I’ll be the harmony
To every lonely song
That you learn to play

When you’re soaring through the air
I’ll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I’ll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down

I keep looking up
Awaiting your return
My greatest fear will be
That you will crash and burn
And I won’t feel your fire

I’ll be the other hand
That always holds a line
Connecting in between
Your sweet heart and mine
I’m strung out on that wire

I’ll be on the other end
To hear you when you call
Angel you were born to fly
And if you get too high
I’ll catch you when you fall
Catch you when you fall

Your memory's the sunshine
Every new day brings
I know the sky is calling
Angel let me help you with your wings

When you’re soaring through the air
I’ll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I’ll still be there
When you come back down
Take every chance you dare
I’ll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down

Last Semester....

2005-01-19T22:44:00.000-05:00

Wowsers! I haven't updated this blog in like forever!!! I've been so busy getting ready for my last semester that I've pretty much forgotten everything else...and the *things* that I want to forget, I remember... Well, this is all for now, I'll be posting soon, hopefully!

Nana & Her Bodyguards....

2004-12-23T01:45:00.000-05:00

This is a picture of me with my men (my twin brothers, Andrew & Thomas)!!! They are TWO of the greatest blessings in my life, and luckily for me as they continue to grow they also serve as my on-call bodyguards! As everyone can tell, they have not inhereted my shorty genes and I don't think that they'll ever stop growing...

What I've Learned This Semester....

2004-12-12T16:59:00.000-05:00

Ok, I've made it FINALLY....it's the last week of the semester and I am so excited that I feel like I'm going to break out in the happy dance any second now!!!
"Go Nana, it's yo birthday, oh, oh, oh!" =0) I'm stoked!
Anyways, this semester has been the worst of them all...but it has taught me so much! First of all, the most important thing that I've learned is that the best thing you can do to stay sane under pressure is to wait to the last minute to do everything and live off coffee for the next hours, ha! You'll get a great caffiene high and you'll find yourself forgetting the simplest of all things, like your email. I for one kept on typing my password on the email textbox and my email on the password textbox....and I kept on trying it over and over again, hehe! I was about to smash the computer into trillions of pieces before I realized that nanaisthehottestbabealicious wasn't my email (ooops...gotta change that now!) Wasn't it Albert Einstein who said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results? well yeah, that was me, hehe!
The second thing that I learned is that talking to friends does indeed help to relieve stress....especially at 1 am the night before an exam and you still have 5 more chapters to go....hehe! ;0)
And finally, (drumroll please........sound the trumpet Shrek 2 style!) the third and most important thing that I learned this semester is that Abercrombie & Fitch apparently is selling shirtless guys....yes, this was brought to my attention at the fine learning establishment of Florida International University. I was on campus, walking from the Education building, a.k.a FIU's all-girl college (BTW, this is where I spend all of my time, haha), to GC (the student center) . Well, I rarely leave the ed building, so you can imagine my surprise when I come across a guy that was only wearing jeans, no shirt, sitting like a statue by the library. Yes....and that was when Star informed me that he probably worked at A&F, where they shirtless guys parading through the store.
Soooooooo.........today I went to Dadeland with my mom, and as we passed A&F we were very ummmm, to say the least, surprised hehe. Eye candy for sure, haha. But it's sooo wrong.....I mean look at what people are doing to advertise their clothes....they do sell clothes, right??? Or was the model for sale? So confused!!!!! If so, I will take the tall, built, (5'11"....6'...), blonde guy....haha yeah right!!! It's AWFUL! I just can't put it all together....A&F sales clothes, they're an apparel company....hmmmm so you would think they would want to advertise their clothes, not the lack thereof, right? Just plain mind boggling!!! I wonder if Mizter Einstein has a quote for this.....

Miz Diana!!!

2004-12-10T15:24:00.000-05:00

Hey guys! This is Diana, one of the sweetest people that you'll ever meet. She has always been a great friend and I'll never forget all the great times that we've shared! I LOVE YOU GIRLY!

One Funny Looking Turkey!

2004-11-25T15:05:00.000-05:00

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I just came back from church where we had a time of giving thanks to the Lord for all that He's done in our lives. It seems that as I get older these holidays start to mean so much more than what is always advertised...today, I am looking forward to just having time to share with my family, and to enjoy all the fun that we have when we come together. There is so much that I have to be thankful for, and I just don't know where to start...
First, I am exceedingly thankful for my God, my altmighty Father, because He's always there to pick me up when I am down. He always holds me up, and reminds me of his everlasting love, that without I would be so lost! I am thankful that because of His sacrifice on the cross I can know the greatest love, and share in it too. Thank you my Lord for saving me, for seeing past my sin and looking at the real me, the one that only wants to serve you....
I am also extremely thankful for my family, for the blessing that they are to my life. Every moment with them is so precious, and I just want to treasure every bit!!!!
I also am thankful for all of my wonderful friends, that just bring so much joy! I am extremely thankful that my freindship with Raquel, and the way that we have managed to stay close throughout the years....she has always been there, and that is what I appreciate the most about her!
I also am delighted with the way that God is working in Youth Nation and the way that it has grown. I praise God for every life in Youth Nation and for our wonderful leaders, especially Jose, who has a heart on fire to reach the youth. There are so many lost out there, but I am thankful for this wonderful ministry that yearns for every heart and soul of the youth to be filled with God's amazing love.....I am so blessed to be in this ministry!!!!
THANK YOU LORD!!!!

LEGO LION EATS FGCA PRESIDENT AND VICE PRES!

2004-11-24T23:13:00.000-05:00

This is a really old picture of Raquel & me and our encounter with the lego lion at Downtown Disney! It was my senior year and Raquel and I just had a blast! Well, we always do when we're together!
In case you're wondering what FGCA is, I'll explain it in upcoming posts....for now, just know that it is the greatest organization on the face of this earth, and only the elite are chosen to participate in it....and of course, given our wonderfully extensive and impressive records, Raquel, Anelle (Raquel's older sis) and I were instant shoe-ins for leadership positions! There will be more to come....

2004-11-24T02:42:00.000-05:00

This is my cute doggy, Nikki! He is the stud muffin of the block...yes, it's a he! His original name is Nico, but somehow we all ended up calling him Nikki! He's a chihuahua and he loves to sleep....I only wish that I could sleep as much as he does!

ROAD TRIP! Toby Mac & Third Day Concert...

2004-11-24T00:28:00.000-05:00

These are pictures from the road trip we took to West Palm Beach to see Third Day & Toby Mac! They were awesome, and I have to say, Toby Mac is an awesome performer! Corina, Andrew, Thomas, Ivan, and I arrived a little early to the concert, so we decided to check out the stores nearby. To amuse ourselves we went to a Walmart that was ginormous, put on as many tacky hats, shoes, masks, and glasses that we could find, and took lots of pictures! The funny thing was that a lady came up to us and actually commented on how lovely my tacky, clear light-up high heel, flip-flop sandals were! In her exact words she squealed "Those are beeeeeautiful!!! I used to wear those back when women really knew how to dress!" YIKES! God help us all! Hehe!
Anyways, I've never had so much fun in a Walmart in all my life! We were also out in the middle of nowhere, and we saw many VERY interesting people, like our Confederate Joe (Guy decked out in Confederate flags...and they were all over his car) and Muscle Man (His head was waaay too small for his muscles!)
Well, I gotta say, one of the best things about the trip for me was getting to know Corina better...we talked like crazy and listened to a lot of Switchfoot! She is an awesome girl and I'm so happy that she moved to Florida!!!!!!

THE BEST MOTHER IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD!!! (MOST BEAUTIFUL, TOO!)

2004-11-23T14:00:00.000-05:00

I know that I made a little fun of the Camacho Mommy Network with Kaila's picture, but I was just kidding! You guys are all really beautiful, and I hope that I can be as strong as you all when I'm your age, 85. JUST KIDDING hehe! I really do mean it. Especially my mom....this is a picture of us last Thanksgiving. I love her so much and I'm so thankful for everything that she has done for me. I can only hope to be as intelligent, strong, and as beautiful as she is. TE AMO MUMI!

2004-11-23T13:55:00.000-05:00

This is my cousin Fernado's & his beautiful wife Deshna's gorgeous baby girl, Kaila! Kaila is the sweetest and happiest baby that you'll ever meet. She is so beautiful...I would just like to thank Fernando and Deshna for keeping the gene pool going, and for adding some more beauty to the family...especially for the Camacho's, we were in need for some help. I mean, look at our mothers....ouch! (**Yayi, Amanda, and my Mom hit me all at once**) Well, at least she didn't come out looking like Papito Camacho, Thank God! Hehe, just kidding you guys!!! I LOVE YOU ALL!

2004-11-21T20:09:00.000-05:00

This is my really good friend Carlos Stein! We go waaaaaay back when we were all in JASS..my old youth group!

He loves to drink banana, vanilla, or strawberry milk and will do anything in his power to get his hands on it! He also loves chocoramo (If you're Colombian you'll know what it is) just like me! I LOVE MY MAX!!!

These are my two older cousins, Alex & Fernando, but they have always been like older brothers to me! I love them so much, and I also miss them quite a bit...scratch that, a whole lotta bit! So yes, I am equipped with a large arsenal of brothers, but hey, I have always gotten to be the princess, and I wouldn't trade it for anything!

"There is more to life besides being really really ridiculously good looking" hehe!
A funny quote, but definitely true!!!

Today, Novemer 15, 2004, I was inducted into the Golden Key International Honour Society! The ceremony was really fun, but the scary part was walking down a big red aisle to shake hands with this society chair guy and recieve my certificate...all I could think was "God, please don't let me trip!!!" And the worst part was that I was wearing these high & pointy stilletos! But I came out victorious and made it safely back to my seat, hehe! I'll post pictures soon!

And this is my version of Rakels wedding....Her man is a one-man band with a mullet and Mexican style curly mustache! He is wearing a Gucci polyester one of a kind ensemble that he found at Miami Twice! Rakel is wearing only the latest red fishnet stockings with a dress found on the set of Gilligan's island....which explains the missing piece! I am modeling a "Bring It On" cheerleading ensemble, of course cheering my best friend on...."Burrrrr....it's cold in here, there must be some mullets in the atmosphere!" Tylo, my mysteriosly handsome reptile hottie lover is wearing nothing but God's best, His very own creation! And the monkeys are just running around singing "Celebrate Good Times Come on!!!!!!"

This drawing is a product of a silly Tickle.com test that is "supposed" to calculate your wedding date. The funny thing is that anyone can take this test, regardless of the fact that they aren't in a serious relationship with anyone at the moment, like me! You know that you can always trust Tickle.com tests to advise you in serious decisions like these! Their tests are thorough, highly reliable, and have proved to have a great validity. (ok guys, I hope you know that I'm being sarcastic!)
Anyways, Raquel took the liberty of sketching her version of what my future wedding would should look like, even my groom!
In case you can't tell, my groom is very rico suave-ish with a knee body suit, is hitting a midget with a book, I have no legs, and Raquel is scratching her thigh....Oh, it is the epitome of elegance and class!...lol!
Hey you have to make fun of these tests....they are too funny =0)
