Mika my love...

I'm anxiously waiting for the moment this man decides to release his tour dates for 2011. 
If you think you've seen me go crazy a t a concert (cough cough Amanda), you haven't seen anything yet. I will go ballistic over this performer. 
Just look at him. He's beautiful.
Listen to him. He sounds amazing. 
He's a talented man no joke, and now he's appearing in a Hugo Boss campaign. What more can you ask for?!

SO my level of excitement regarding the Robyn concert at the HOB Boston is killing me!
Seriously, just listen to her so you know what I mean when I say "this woman can sing!"

Tofu Obsession

First thought when I tried tofu: "What is this disgusting soft gooey substance that looks like it could be cheese?". Needless to say, after trying it for the first time, I was not in love with tofu. In fact, I hated it. Now, the tables have turned and I am obsessed with it. I cannot have enough of its soft spongy-like texture and distinct taste.
Anyways, my first recipe of the semester with tofu was whole wheat pasta with tofu, mushrooms, broccoli, and cauliflower.
I pretty much made it up as I went along, adding vegetables that I found in my fridge, and then served it with an arugula salad on the side (which I later realized would taste yummy if mixed in).
Enjoy.

New Year, New Me, New Attempt.

And off I go again on my zillionth attempt to keep a blog going. This time I am going to make it simple: blog about something that I plan on doing almost on a daily basis (at least 4 nights a week). I will blog about my cooking.
At the beginning of Fall semester, I moved into my own apartment with my best friend. But last semester was all about getting settled, and the excuse of ordering in since we were too tired or lazy was used one too many times. In light of my cooking-bum behavior last year, I decided that as a new year's resolution I would cook for myself and my roommate at least 4 nights a week. Not only will I be saving money, I will also be eating healthier than before, and I have a time to relax from school work every night.
Oh and the knowing how to cook factor is also a big plus. I am prepared to leave you guys awed with my future dinners!
Enjoy the pictures! Recipes will be posted soon.
DAY 1: Orange pork chops with broccoli and cauliflower salad.



DAY 2: Asparagus soup and shrimp cocktail.



DAY 3: Rosemary chicken tenderloin with roasted butternut squash and arugula salad.



Stay tuned for desserts...

Proud to be Mexican



Today, August 23, 2010, the Mexican Jimena Navarrete won Miss Universe. Navarrete, from Jalisco, is the second Mexican woman to win this contest, and makes my country proud of its beauty! Despite the fact that Miss Universe is quite a questionable contest, I am happy that Mexico can show its beauty to the world!!! Congrats Jimenita!

It has come to my attention that the absolute --platonic-- love of my life recently got married. Technically speaking Mr Law is not yet married to Sienna, nevertheless, due to an asian ceremony, they are now man and wife. I must say this is depressing. Somewhere in the back of mind, there used to be a miniscule piece of hope that in the future I would become Mrs. Jude Law. ;)
Although considering the possibilities of me meeting --and marrying-- Jude, I guess an asian marriage to Sienna Miller won't set me back that much more.
The on and off love birds tied the knot through the Baci ceremony in Southeast Asia. In this ceremony, done to celebrate many happenings, one of them marriage, the couple are are brought together by a piece of sting attached to their wrists. The piece of string is also connected to several offerings, each representing a quality of marriage. Coconut for purification, bananas for fertility, an egg to call spirits, and sticky rice for solidarity.
In this particular case, the Baci was performed at the Royal Court, where on August 21, Jude and Sienna became husband and wife.
As for the future, the couple is planning a more conventional -- though probably still unique-- wedding in France.

Let the truth come out...

Haven't blogged in a while. Sorry for that. You know when you have absolutely nothing to do, but you feel like doing absolutely nothing? That has been me for the past 3 weeks --at the very least. Nevertheless, I have to voice something: my change of self.
Sophomore year will mean a new me. There are many qualities of mine that I love, but then there are those which I hate.
I certainly don't like the fact that I easily choke when talking to somebody. I become a very boring person for the sole fear of what people are going to think of me. I am sick of that. Let people think whatever they want about me, and if they don't like it, they can go talk to somebody else and ignore me! Still, all this I am writing is easier said than done, but I promise to try as hard as I can to change this part of my personality.
Another thing I wish to change, is my constant search for love. Everything comes at its own time, and so will love. I need to stop looking frantically for somebody; stop thinking that every guy I meet must automatically become a prospective boyfriend. As I have often been told, when you least expect it, thats when it happens. So I guess in a complicated way, by letting go of the need to find somebody, I am probably making it easier to eventually find somebody (read it twice and then you'll understand).
On top of those changes, I plan on trying to get my life in order. I feel like I am straying from my goals and morals. For this reason I must focus on what I want and plan to live in a way that won't harm my future.
I know this is sounding very philosophical and what not, but this vent is much needed. I need somebody to talk to, and due to the absence of one of the most important people in my life, Amanda, I must vent through my blog (and possibly receive suggestions or solutions for my issues).
On the brighter side, I will soon be living on my own --with Amanda as my apt. mate--, and studying my ass off in order to complete the two majors I am routing for: journalism and business. I will apply for another job, even if it means I will have less free time on my hands, because I have proved that me and leisure are not always very good friends.
I guess thats it for now, and I will soon blog a less intense post.
