Disney World (Day 2)
Animal Kingdom
Our last day in the traditional Disney’s park was amazing… a lot of fun and fantasy.
We went to our remaining park: Animal Kingdom, a sort of Jungle where two continents meets (Africa and Asia)
Our favorite ride was the ‘Expedition Everest’
My favorite moment was when we went to the ‘Kilimanjaro Safari’ and we saw two chitas walking round.
My favorite picture is the one with Pluto and Goofy.
Grand Finale
After we did all what we could possibly do in Animal Kingdom we went back to Magic Kingdom to get ready for the grand finale: The fire works
Toontown fair
This year the Toontown (where everything is cartoon like) is having a fair where all the characters are walking around.
I had a lot of fun there
Vegas Baby!
We arrived to Vegas at noon, just on time to eat. We went straight to In n’Out.
I love eating there (there is nothing special about the food, but it is kind of a must go place in Vegas and California –if you are not from there)
We had many hours to spare before our plane leaves, so we started walking on the Las Vegas Boulevard (The strip)
We visited, once again, The Bellagio, then Caesar Palace and after that we were pretty much dead tired.
.
The Boob Collection
Noticing how many naked statues were in the casinos, Jon decided to start a “bob collection” taking pictures of every single boob he saw.
(It was funny at the beginning but I think we crossed the line from “funny” to a “disturbing”)
.
Sin City
I never noticed before how sexual Las Vegas is…
There are people (every where) who hands you porn and prostitutes Ads in the street, or the advertisement of exotic dancers and prostitutes in billboards, buses and trucks; or the uncountable kind of “adult’ type of shows that the hotel-casinos offer… But that’s nothing; Las Vegas is much, much dirtier…
The hotel Hooters and the hotel casino Flamingos, and some bars like Coyote ugly (in NY-NY) have servers with almost no close on.
We saw a mega adult store (grocery store size!!!) and the parking lot was almost full!
.
Lions
Right before we left to the airport we went to see the lion in a fish tank.
Congratulations LDS Business College’s graduates 2008!
Salt Lake City, Utah
Today was the LDS Business College.
Supposedly it is (or it was) my graduation but my advisor told me that I wasn’t allow to walk because I owed money to the school.
(I thought it was weird that they wouldn’t let me walk since walking doesn’t really have to do anything with the actual graduation)
As part of my job, they asked me to announce that there were people translating into Spanish for those parents who didn’t speak English.
30 minutes before the event I stood up in the pulpit (in front of everybody) every 5 minutes and said “Para todos los que quieran escuchar el evento en español tenemos disponibles audífonos de traducción”
An old lady asked my boss what I was saying; she explained that I was announcing that we had head phones for those who needed to hear the event in Spanish.
Oh that’s nice, she said but… why doesn’t he say that in English so we all can understand
Mi boss looked at her as if she was kidding and replied with a sarcastic tone “I guess is because the head phones are for those who don’t understand… English”
The old lady looked at her very serious, like knowing that she just have been mocked, and said: “It makes sense”
Thunder Stolen
It was cool to see all my friends dressed up into the graduation outfit. I didn’t think it would affect me that much, but I wanted to walk too, it too was MY day.
When the it was all over I went to the office where my adviser tells me “Oh, by the way, you could have walked today… I found out that you could… sorry”
I felt so disappointed and sad! I couldn’t stand being in the office anymore so I took one of those graduation outfit and went downstairs to take pictures with my friends… but everyone was gone already.
I felt that my moment, my experience, a memory was taken away from me. (Unintentionally)
None the less, I’m graduating!!! YAY!… Good for me, congratulations to me!
Nope… It’s not the same…Oh well
Graduation (Chickenpox)
Classes are over in 8 days and I don’t have a clue what I am going to do next… Maybe this is my last year in the US.
I have to decide where I want to go alter the summer. Maybe I should come back to the LDS Business College until I figure that out.
BYU is still an option, I don’t know.
8 days and my school life is over and my search for a job begins!
Oh yeah, and guess what…

I never went to one ever again. I support the idea of helping them, protecting them from circuses, and etc, but I still find sad being looking at them looking at me looking at them (confusing?). I never stepped in on a circus.
I don’t like to complain but I do it a lot. And even so, I’m known for being smiley and positive all the time. Some times that could be annoying… (So I find stuff to be sad about)

Moody in the morning (waken up by the seagulls in Groove, California)
I am not a morning person (Never ever, never!, wake me up yelling at me. Never!) If you do, I’m not only going to be moody all day, but also every time I see you I would be mad at you for no reason) (Kate!)
I am spoiled… by my mom, my brothers and sister, my family in general, my friends, by strangers… well, I am spoiled by life… by God.
I am what some people called open minded (or hippie for some) but I also consider myself very traditional (conservative) and old fashioned.
I am religious ( I do go to church every Sunday) but I am not what is commonly considered “fanatic”.
God Talking about God does not embarrass me except if people start listening to me too much.
If I could change something about my appearance… anything at all, I would fix my teeth.
Fighting back, Hollywood, CA
28 Años (The Capitol Party)
Many thougth it was a joke, but sure enough the passed saturday (March 8th) all the believers and the ones who weren’t afraid of dressing up (or were in Utah) said present to my 28th birthday party.
Trying to find a parking spot in the capitol building was almost imposible.
Almost 60 people showed up for my birthday, one told me that she coudn’t came because she wanted to go to this other party
And it turned out that this “another party” was the same party (at the capitol). That was funny.
1500 people came for the U of U Institute Dance.
We danced all night… and when it was over we danced some more!
It was really fun to see everybody dressed up.
