Very impressed....

Niagara Falls (city), Canada

Niagara and the Falls

This part of the falls is called the "Horseshoe".

more...

MASSIVE....

Look at what we came across the way with...

Waiting for her groom... She met her future "to-be" husband 5 years ago at Niagara Falls and so, they decided to get married at the place where they met. *sigh* How romantic!?!?!

My DREAM Car!!!! 1969 Convertible Mustang GT on the roads of Niagara Falls. Ugh, I am sooo jealous. One day, one day....

Best Thing Ever!!!! Comics!!!! Whoo, whoo

Waaaaay smaller replica of the Eye of London in Niagara Falls, Canada

Frankenstein eating a Whopper on Clifton Hills...

Sitting on the chair of the tallest man to ever live. He was 8feet and 7 1/2 inches tall!!!!

Now, this is suppose to be the butt of human collage made by pieces of different scrap... The reason I chose to picture this is not because of the ass, but because the right butt cheek is the top part of a spinning top (toy) which is exactly like the spinning top that I use to play with and still have in my home!!!

This is suppose to be the world's largest Bierstein.... I don't really believe it, but it was in Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum

Just Wasting Time...


So I got my hair cut....it's not that much of a difference, but it's just a bit shorter. Don't really know why I am posting this up; it's probably because I am soo bored here. I have the day off today, everyone is working, and I can't do anything because it's raining like cats and dogs. Oh well, so much for having a non-boring summer. I wonder if I can leave everything and go traveling again? Hmmmm, anybody want to join or does anyone want to save me from this boredom? *sigh*

More Than Anyone -Gavin DeGraw

You need a friend
I'll be around
Don't let this end
Before I see you again
What can I say to convince you
To change your mind of me?

I'm gonna love you more than anyone
I'm gonna hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm gonna love you more than anyone

Look in my eyes, what do you see?
Not just the color
Look inside of me
Tell me all you need and I will try
I will try

I'm gonna love you more than anyone
I'm gonna hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm gonna to love you more than anyone

Free for you, whenever you need
We'll be free together, baby
Free together, baby

I'm gonna love you more than anyone
I'm gonna hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm gonna love you more than anyone

I'm going to love you more than anyone

I hate MY BOSS!!!

I know it's just the sixth day that I have been on the job, but I seriously want to kill my boss. That is basically the general consensus around the office. She is such a bitch... and I am not saying just because. I know that sometimes very demanding and highly-confident women could be possibly mistaken as grade A-first class bitches.... and of course many men that reflect latter qualities are held to be as very good professional businessmen. But back to the point.... SHE IS A BITCH!!!! She yelled at me in public in front of children, passerbys, and fellow co-workers of mine. I don't care if she is my boss and if she makes more money than me, or if she is in a higher class, that does not give her the permission to treat me (or anybody else) like shit. I seriously wanted to quit right there and then, but my morale (something that she seems to be lacking) kept me from taking the plunge because I don't want to let down my fellow colleagues. *sigh*

I just need to take a deep breath and pray that nobody has a weapon of any kind (including plastic knives and paper clips) around the time that I am with her.

The Red, White, and Blue.....and the Green

Well, yes, this is Fourth of July weekend is finally here.... finally??? I mean, how quickly it got here. I will be leaving tomorrow to San Antonio to celebrate my best friend's, Tracey's, 22nd Birthday. Then, Tracey, Terri, and I will be taking off to Austin to continue the celebrations and the country's birthday in Texas' state capital, Austin. 6th Street here WE come!!!! Woot. I love 6th Street. It's this one huge street in downtown Austin which is closed off from all traffic to permit pedestrians to walk all over the avenue that is infested with bars, clubs, tattoo parlours, concert halls, and piercing labs. Well, last year, when we went to Austin during Fourth of July weekend, we saw Lifehouse, met the band afterwards, and Tracey got a tattoo...... hehehe I wonder what will happen this year. Maybe another piercing for me!?!?!?!? Hahaha, just kidding. If this keeps on going, Austin will become a yearly tradition. But the fun ends on Wednesday because I will head back to Rochester to start working. Nah, who am I kidding. I will see the majority of my good friends. Mitch is a native of Rochester, Sean is living in Burton, which is a dormitory hall on the school's campus which is right across my dormitory, Ryn will hopefully be coming up to see us, and many many many more peepz. We'll see how this turns out. Time seems to be escaping through my hands once again..... sigh
But I can't complain I must be happy with what I have today


So, I bet you are wondering why I put "and the Green" on my title. Well, tomorrow Mexico will be holding presidential elections and the competition is very tight right now. the PRI, the party which dictated Mexico for over 70 years before the Fox administration is gaining power once again, the PAN, Fox's party is strong, and the PRD (which has the most corrupt, good-for-nothing candidate) is tide with the two previous as well. I just hope the Mexican public isn't blind and hopefully the camping blows, media manipulation, and celebrities taking part in this race won't affect their judgment. *sigh* Also, it is the very first time that Mexican cititzens who live outside the country can vote as well. Yes, I voted and it's quite cool becuase this is the first time in a very long time that I actually feel very involved with my native country. By 11pm tomorrow night the first round of counts will be announced and the general idea of the next Mexican president will be known. I hope my guy wins!!!
.... and Good Luck to the Germans on Tueday ;)


Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things
I didn't do for you...

Running Dry...

Last night on Conan O'Brien, he said:

"The average World Cup fan is drinking about 17 pints of beer per day.... and that's probably because after so much drinking they could finally understand the game better and enjoy it. Seriously, how does one expect me to keep my attention on something that is so insipid as a score 1-0. And then all those cards, I mean come on... they have a yellow card, red card, and pretty soon, everyone will be requesting a green card...."

Ok, so maybe it wasn't that funny, but I was really intrigued with what he said about the beer drinking bit. So I looked it up and in fact I did come up with many results, but the one I seemed to find the most entertaining, is one that blaims the British fan base for making Germany run dry.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/tm_objectid=17302491&method=full&siteid=94762&headline=beer-we-go--name_page.html




Well, I just finished watching the Germany vs. Argentina game; I am holding my reservations on comments. But moving on, at least I am happy that the World Cup is promoting some type of world peace scenario..... oh wait, no that's incorrect, when you see two powerful teams starting to beat each other at the end of a game, that is not promoting peaceful resolutions. But at lest we can count on the fact the World Cup promotes drinking socially as opposed to privately, which we all know that's alcoholism... and nobody wants that .... hehehehe

*disclosure: please, don't take this the wrong way

American Girl Once Again...

I got back to the States two nights ago...
It was the longest flight of my whole life.


But Wednesday night before i left to the U.S. was incredible. =)
Thank you to all my new good friends for being so sweet and so kind to me. I hope to see you soon, but in the meantime take great care of yourselves.


But now i must face the harsch reality. I started working yesterday and i am dead tired already... that is probably because i jetlag and i have been waking up way too early. Oh well!!!!


"Stay With You" by Goo Goo Dolls

These streets Turn me inside out
Everything shines
But leaves me empty still
And I'll, burn this lonely house down

If you run with me
If you run with me I'll stay with you
The walls will fall before we do
Take my hand now
We'll run forever
I can feel the storm inside you I'll stay with you

Fooled by my own desires I twist my fate
Just to feel you
But you, turn me toward the light
And you're one with me
Will you run with me?
I'll stay with you
The walls will fall before we do

Mondays are the Worst, But this is Killing It

I tried to pinch myself from the nightmare I suffered today....

Unfortunately, it was all true

It wasn't a horrible mind game that I could simply awake from

Today was the scariest day of my life....
something that I don't want to go through again


Could not help but to wonder how I almost threw everything away

I hope all will work out

Don't be scared, I yell at the person looking back at me in the mirror

*breath*

It wasn't suppose to be this way

*breath*


Where are we heading to?
Where am I heading to?


*breath*


I can't deal with the thought of it....

*STOP*

Cake, Champagne, Bratwurst, and American Football

Yeah, well the whole daily posting is not working so great at the moment, and I don't think it ever will...hehehe
I discovered yesterday that American brownies are a whole lot sweeter and softer than German brownies. While American brownies might be soft and sweet, German brownies are sturdy and reliable. Yes reliable, because you can dunk them into a nice cold glass of milk and they wont fall apart and they will taste just as good. And although German brownies might be different, I don't think it will be a difficult change to adapt to...
I doubt I am still talking about brownies...

A couple of us got together and had an afternoon coffee and cake session if you may call it. It was sooo good, and of course like previously stated, I baked brownies. After some laughing, two glasses of champagne, and a lot of cake, I found myself talking to two other girls about my future plans and I came to the conclusion that I don't have any true sturdy plans for the future. But its ok.
Franzie, Ping (Alex), her boyfriend, and Karl, her younger brother, were heading to an American football game afterwards and asked Renke and I if we would like to come along. American Football in Germany.....Of course I would LOVE to go and see the whole shee-bang!!! We took the tram on the way to the game. BTW, Germany is really anal about "black riders" meaning people who don't pay for public transportation. Once again I found myself riding Germany's public transportation 'illegally', and yes, there was an officer checking for tickets. I was sweating in my boots. I don't know how or who but something distracted the officer from checking for my ticket. GOTT SEI DANK (Thank God)!!!!!!!!! When we arrived at the stadium I was surprised at the number of people there. It was crazy. There were people fully dressed out like the crazy fans they were. The game was fine. I felt great because I was explaining to Franzie and her brother the workings of American football. Finally, so many Friday night high school football games paid off....hehehehe. Before the game, Franzie and I had some champagne along with Bratwurst. Ha, her and I represented the true epitome of classiness. I must say, American football games should change to selling Bratwurst instead of small measly hotdogs.... And sell some yummy champagne, too.
The home team, the Braunschweig Lions, won 52:7. Yeah, it was quite a kick in the ass. After the game we stood close to the track to congratulate the players. Mostly all came over to say hello. But I have to say the highlight of the game was when I gave a high five to one of the players and then he turned back around and said, "Hey...." (trying to start something), but then the adorable Renke held me and said, "Hey, sie ist mein!" ( I don't think I have to translate that; it's pretty much self-explanatory). *sigh* My tall, bright, and shining prince.....hehehe It's nice to know that you still interest your boyfriend in that way. =)




I am nervous
But I know that in your arms
I will be alright

Yesterday and Saturday's Ball

Men holding babies could possibly be the sexiest thing ever!!!! (Ok, besides The Thinker) Don't get me wrong the only reason I say this is because yesterday we had the closing brunch to the fraternity's anniversary celebrations and there were older frat members with their wives and their young children. I think most of them were around their late 20s early 30s. They all looked adorable holding in their huge manly arms little pieces from heaven. Renke stood up and started holding a carriage, looked at me, raised one eyebrow, and said, "Hmmm?" Let's just say that my eyes just widened as a tried to swallow my piece of steak I was eating at the time. However, the funny thing after that was that all the couples there started talking about marriage and children without any angst or tries into changing the subject matter. It is so ironic that a topic that is mostly seen as a taboo amongst American couples is so welcomed here in Germany even by the young men population. Try to talk about marriage with a guy in the States and they will start running away from you before you even end the sentence. Renke and I proceeded to tell the rest of the group that we wanted four children; the first would be named "Brrrr," and the others after our favorite cartoon show, Transformers.
"Optimus Prime be quiet Daddy is talking to Brrrr."
"No cookies for you, Brrrr!!!"
However, I am thinking it will be quite some time before I have a little Optimus Prime of myself.... hehehehehe

Saturday's Ball was sooo much fun. I like always felt completely uncomfortable wearing a dress, but everyone else said that I looked cute. So, I guess that part wasn't bad. The ball started out with a classic waltz. This type of dancing was possible for me to do because the past two weeks the frat guys, their dates, and myself have been taking ballroom dance lessons. It was great!!! However, I believe Renke didn't have to take nay extra ones because he has had ballroom dance lessons before. (Hahaha, Number 128 of the List: Must be able to dance! I think Ballroom Dancing TOTALLY counts) We were dancing for quite some time and then I told Renke to dip me. He looked at me with confussion and said, "What is to 'dip'?" No, it's not a new word the kids on the street are using instead of sex. I thought that was totally adorable. We were called the King and Queen of the Ball....hehehe. For a while he went to go talk to the boys and I was with the girls, who did not waste any time in saying, "You two belong together and look so cute. Are you engaged?" Ummm, excuse me?!?!?! This completely threw me off again, especially because the night before, in the Festkommers, Renke and I were walking down the stairs, I was wearing a white dress, he was in a suit, and we heard someone in the background sing, "dum dum di rum, dum dum di rum..." (a.k.a. the classic wedding song).
I couldn't stop staring at him the whole night. He looked so handsome and I was telling myself every 10 seconds, "I can't believe that I am here....... with him."
Everyone looked swell, but I have a personal bias and I thought (and still think) we were the cutest, best-dancing, fun, fully-loving couple there. =)


I hope that I can come to next year's Ball.

My Date and me ready to go to the Ball... Don't we look cute?

Dancing at the Ball...I don't have that many pics of it, but I will try to get some more from the brothers.

Just like Derick Zoolander, Renke has his pose, too. Behold, The Thinker. Doesn't he look CALIENTE, here? *1,2,3 sigh*

His modeling career is taking off so quickly that the girls can't keep their hands to themselves. Too bad girls, he is TAKEN. You can stare, but no touching, Franzie!!!

My dress and my akward smile. Why can't I smile correctly? hehehe probably because I was soooo nervous.... and cold. =)

Oh so serious and poetic with the lighting...

Festkommers, May 26, 2006

Enjoy!!!


O jerum, jerum, jerum....

The Festkommers took place on Friday. There, new and old members of the fraternity came together. We drank and we sang old German folk songs again. Renke wrote a speech too in which he spent the entire working on, but I don't think the person who 'read' it, made justice out of it. I had my hat and my smile ready to go. I wonder if the guys would take me as a pledge?!?!?! =) The evening was great and we all had a lot of fun. Once again I was in the company of some great people in which we laughed, talked, and had a wonderful time together. Unfortunately, Voddy, the president, couldn't make it; he is currently hospitalized...poor guy. We sure did miss him.

Let the Celebrations Commence...

The BIG WEEKEND is finally here...
Die Verbindung (the frat) is celebrating its 128th anniversary...

I dont know how exactly i feel about it. i am still not in the über excited mood, but i think that will happen tomorrow, once the actual celebrating starts. however, today, i am having a full pijama/let's-watch-movies day with the girls while the boys are off doing some boyish drinking stuff at 10am. These Germans are hard core when it comes to their drinking... i feel left behind and that i must increase my tolerance in order to keep with the likes of them. i had to buy a new dress for saturday's ball. it's cute, but i dont know if i would of spend as much money on it if i were back in the States. But to limit my spending i decided not to get a hairstyle done. It's too expensive as well. So, i am just going to straighten my hair and do something cute with it. We'll see what happens... I went to buy my dress with two girlfriends from two of Renke's brothers. Pia and Franzie (hopefully, i am spelling their names right) have been nothing but nice and kind to me. Their boyfriends are soooo lucky to have them. It's a bit weird, though. I have always found it easier to befriend boys as opposed to girls. But it has been the complete oppostie here at the frat. I feel so intimidated by the boys and i feel that i cant relate to them the way i relate to my guy friends back at home. i literally cannot speak to them. my whole system shuts down. and i dont want them to think that i am a bitch or a snobby American because i won't talk to them. For example, I went downstairs yesterday to ask one of the guys if he needed help. He said, "Nein," but i asked once more and he said no again and then went on a rant about saying how the furniture they were moving was heavy and how i would only hurt myself. First of all, I move furniture around all the time in my room, so that's no problem. Second, i was offerring my help, a 'thank you' would have been nice. But instead of saying anything, i choked and crawled back to my cave also known as Renke's room. it's so baaaaaaadddd. i cant joke around with them because i feel that the German humor might be a little bit different from mine and so i dont want to be seen as a weird-o or a freak. *sigh* i miss my boyz ( and Sprite, too)...
But as soon as I can I will try to post up pics of the events going on (and of my dresses...hehehehe). I think I like the process of dressing up more than the actual event itself...no, I am kidding, but it is fun to get all spiffed up for one's man....

Deciding, Something I am Always Doing

Today, on my way back from the supermarket I was asked,

"What's going to happen when you return to the States?"

To be honest, i have not thought about it at all. The pure thought of it scares me. I will be away from the life i have grown to love and separated once again from the only person that I have truly deeply cared about (sidenote: this is totally different from family and friends...i think you all know what i mean). i don't want to go through with this again, but if i want to keep him in my life we are going to have survive the next five years like this. FIVE YEARS!!! It's a long time, but at the pace time goes by, it will hopefully pass us by quickly. I have always thought about doing grad-school in Europe (Renke could be seen as another reason why i should.) There is the UN University in Geneeva, but there are also some other closer options like in Berlin and in Bremen. Who knows? But then I face myself with another obstacle...and that's choosing. I have always wanted to go to Columbia University, and it would be great for grad-school, but with my life circumstances, i don't know what will happen. Who knows if i will even get into Columbia?!?!?!
Ay, yay, yay, yay
What is a girl to do? I like to plan what i will be doing with my life in the next year or two. But at times i think that planning for the tomorrow is wasteful because all that time that you spend planning, you could have been spending time with the ones you love. It's just a big paradox. You have to plan for tomorrow, but who knows if you will still be alive next week or so. In the words of one my dearest friends in Rochester, "I should just tell the rest of the world to go fuck itself," and do what i want with my life. However, the little voice inside my head, which by the way sounds very close to my mom's, is telling me to reconsider and to be responsible. Ooooh, mothers!!! They tend to squeeze themselves into every aspect of one's life.

A BitterSweet End...

I have to admit that one of my best memories here in Freiburg was created yesterday evening...

My suite mate Basti (short for Sebastian) asked me if i wanted to go on a walk with him and have a beer. I hadn't seen much of Basti, because he was in India doing an internship with his professor (awesome, right? yeah, i know) However, even though he wasn't here for most of my stay we have grown to be very good and close friends. So we walked for a while and then sat down on the blue bridge him and i cross every day to go to schoo. As we climbed up the steel arches of the bridge, people passed below us and kept on going with their lives. it was so interesting being up there without being noticed... well, for a while at least. the view was beautiful. in front of us we could see the Black Forrest and the sun was starting to set. It was one of the most gorgeous things that i have seen. As the sun went down, Basti pulls out two beers from his jacket and we start to drink and talk. we talked for about two hours about future plans, "humanity", marriage (not with him...hehehe), having a family, our favorite memories, and so on and so forth. He told me he was sad to see me go and that he will miss me. "I will miss you, too," i said. during our talk Basti pulls out 2 Bidis. these are Hindi cigarrettes literally rolled up in a leaf and tied up with a string... no filter whatsoever!!! They were the epitome of Third World 'souvenirs'. We smoked the Hindi cigarrettes along with our beer. OMG, that was the first time that i had been completely relaxed and 'loose' in weeks. it was amazing. The sun set, our talk came to a finish, and without words we said goodbye, it was understood. it's funny how life puts you in these situations and you meet people that touch your life in significant ways and that you know you will see once again during your lifetime. I guess i just wasn't expected for someone like him to be the person in Freiburg to leave me such a permanent impression...

Unbelievable....

I just felt that I needed to add this to my blog...

So my friend Claudia and I have been studying for our Migration class final which will be next week. We were reading an article today about immigration in Germany from the 1980s to the present day. It actually stated:

"Most German citizens and historians have perceived the immigrant community as a BIOLOGICAL THREAT..."


What the hell is that about?!?!?! I hope this is not the true sentiment that the whole German nation feels... that would be horrible.

I have been called many bad names in my life, but never have I been referred to as a 'Biological Threat'.

Wow, just wow

Mexico, The New Amsterdam???

With the growing turmoil and the ongoing drug-war on the Mexican-Texan border, Mexico has decided to pass on a law that is both controversial and abnormal for the Mexican society. Click the on the link and read on...

Another Chapter...

I started crying today after I read your message…..

So I respond to you, My Dearest Friend....

It’s finally happening. We are growing up. I know we have had our share of crossroads in the past, but this time it feels as if we are crossing a state line. We find ourselves with one foot in our future, but the other is still holding on to dear life on the other side. Unfortunately, at this juncture we are alone, but I guess we both knew this would come sooner or later. I thought it would be later….so much later. Where did the time go? I swear, we were just kids riding on the bus back home from school just two seconds ago. And now, we are practically young women of twenty-something years of age and making life changing decisions. If only I could pause time for five more minutes to taste the sweetness of our shared childhood once again. If only I could record those moments when we were driving and singing out loud. If only I could relive these moments with you once again….

Sometimes we are by the ones we love, but eventually we must decide by ourselves the next step to take in this journey called Life. We will be tested; we will have heartbreaks; there will be times where we will cry or laugh; we will become women….

My Dearest Friend, it is time for the world to enjoy you charisma, your beauty, your intelligence, your humor, your friendship, your care, your love, your soul. You are about to begin a new part of your life in San Antonio. Make sure to enjoy it, to savor it. Do not be afraid to Live! And if you ever need anything, you know that you can always count on me no matter what opposing corners of the world we are on.

I wish I could be by your side during this time of emotional turmoil. Even though at the moment I am an ocean away, I am holding your hand…. I know you will make it through, not only that, I know you will be successful at whatever you do. Don’t let the stress get to you and remember that sometimes a good cry will do a lot more than holding those tears back.

I thank you for all the special ways you have touched my life. I couldn’t have asked God for a better friend. You have become my Sister. And like just like sisters, we share a special bond that we know will bring us back together. My dearest sister, I wish you good luck and Godspeed. I love you and I always will….

I Had A BABY!!!!

Hahahaha....
Ok, well i wasn't pregnant nor anything of that sort. But i did have a baby today. My Suitemate's girlfriend was taking care of her friend's baby. She got here and decided to have breakfast so i volunteered to take care of the baby, Elias. As soon as i grabbed him he started laughing and smiling. Everyone around the table said, "Oh, look how cute Mommy Gaby is!!!" Yikes.... But he was adorable. He seemed to be a big fan of my Handy as well. He baptized it with his slobber all over it. lol It was weird, for a second i saw myself having one of those (a baby). But i think i scared myself. And although i wish to have one (or mayber more than one), i dont think it will be tomorrow, nor next week, nor anywhere in the next few years. We'll see what time brings me. hahaha Can you imagine me, a mom??? Oh wow!!! Don't worry i am not trying to scare any of the following peoples: parents, siblings, BOYFRIEND, friends, etc. Let's just call the events of today as a glimpse into the future....far future.



Check out this new song from Snow Patrol titled "You Are All I Have"
its pretty cool...

Strain this chaos turn it into light
I've got to see you one last night
Before the lions take their share
Leave us in pieces, scattered everywhere

Just give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Just give me something to hold onto

It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear cos you are all that I have
It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear cos you are all that I have
