que paso

que paso (con acento)? what passed? hmm... randoms...

the holiday season is here! i love the fall colors and especially everything pumpkin. pumpkin gelato, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin spice lattes... yummy!

it has been warm and dry here in san diego- we've had santa ana winds.

i went to lunch with a girl from one of my programs at girls inc. she was in the peer education program i coordinated and just started college at ucsd. i am so proud that she is using the sexual health info she learned and is sharing it with her college dormmates. she showed me her dorm and all the condoms and health brochures she has on display. i am starting to miss working and doing health education.

i went sake bombing with novette at one of our places called sushi deli. cheap and tasty sushi and sake bombs. i always have a good ol' drunk time whenever i go sake bombing.

i found out i went to high school with one of my yoga instructors. weird. i have officially started the process for planning my high school reunion. crazy!

one of my classmates from cancun is in tj. i think we are going to meet up, but i'm not sure which side of the border. i'm so excited!

i am going to close two real estate transactions before thanksgiving! yikes.

i am looking forward to visiting the yay area soon. i can't wait. i keep thinking of all of the things i want to do, all the food i want to eat- naan n curry in the tenderloin, chez panisse, mijori, yuet lee's, arizmendi... wine tasting in napa! i can't wait, i can't wait!

Garurasana

the name of this pose is Garurasana. it's my favorite.

confession:
the truth about diamonds by nicole richie... i was at borders and started reading this book out of curiosity. i ended up reading 8 chapters. i could never bring myself to buy the book, but it's an easy read. two more visits to borders and i should finish it :)

conexion

tengo dolor en mi garganta. yo pienso que estoy enferma. yo creo que tengo gripe. no puedo ir a yoga hoy. me gustaria ir a yoga todos los dias en este mes.

hoy, he estado en mis pijamas todo el dia. yo trabaje a real estate en el telefono y en el computador. necesito hacer algo afuera... el cine? no se, pero yo estoy cansada. y necesito estudiar espanol por mi clase manana.

ayyy, yo estoy enferma!

i am a bigger baby/brat when i'm sick and i feel like i'm coming down with the flu, which is no sorpresa porque todo esta enfermo.
-----------------------

i am so stoked that i have randomly been in touch with some people from my travels and work.

one of my classmates from cancun that i also went to cuba with, magnus, added me to msn messenger and we im-ed. i'm so thrilled that i finally got in touch with somebody from mexico. i've been so worried about people because of the hurricanes. he told me that he still does not have electricity in his home and the phones were all down before, that's why i couldn't get in touch with anyone. he told me that most of the damaged and craziness happened after the hurricane, when all the looting and crime happened. he was able to get out of cancun and went to merida.

the other day, one of my former peer educators that i use to work with at girls inc randomly called me. nicole is now in college and has so much going on. she came to me for some guidance and help. it feels good to be a resource. she informed me that one of "my other girls" is going to school at ucsd. i'm suppose to take nikolitsa out to coffee or dinner next week. it's so good to reconnect. i need to get back to doing work in my field...

mas musica...
orishas "mistica" musica espanol y hip hop

so so good

i just started doing bikram yoga. i love it! i sweat so much... sweat drips down my legs and my clothes get soaked. gross, but... so so good. who would have ever thought contorting your body in 105 degree heat for 90 minutes could be so pleasant. :)

mos def's previous concert in san diego was a dud. i don't remember the last concert i left early besides that concert. but mos def redeemed himself last night with talib. it was so so good... they were so so good together.

Umi Says...
Sometimes I get discouraged
I look around and, things are so weak
People are so weak
Sometimes, Sometimes I feel like crying
Sometimes my heart gets heavy
Sometimes I just want to leave and fly away
Fly, fly, fly like a dove
Sometimes I don't know what to do with myself
Passion takes over me
I feel like a man
Going insane
Losing my brain
Trying to maintain
Doing my thang
Sometimes I don't want to be bothered
Sometimes I just want a quiet life, with
Me and my babies, me and my lady
Sometimes I don't want to get into no war
Sometimes I don't wanna be a soldier
Sometimes I just wanna be a man...

music that is so so good...
so so melancholy- bright eyes "gold mine gutted," "the movement of a hand," "this is the first day of my life," "sunrise, sunset" ...

so so cool name for a band- clap your hands and say yeah "sunshine and clouds (and everything proud)," "in this home on ice," "the skin of my yellow country,"...
