Día del Tamaulipeco

Tamaulipas is the state I'm originally from. (In case you don't know, I'm from Mexico).
So ... I am the Coordinator of Sponsorships in the Students of Tamaulipas Association and we had our first, relatively big event last week. We celebrated the Day of the Tamaulipeco - it's not a real thing, just something that our school allows to do so that we can promote our association and unite the state's people.
"Hectic" doesn't even begin to describe that day ... but it was oh-so-worth-it.
Here a couple of photos from that day:

Oh My God

I have no words to explain how busy I have been.
I actually thought this semester was going to be a breeze ... kind of like a glitch in my future memory.
But then I decided I wanted to be part of the Committee of the Students of Tamaulipas (my home state) Association. And it all went downhill haha
Oh well, at least I've gotten some cute shoes these past weeks... So yay for that!

Finally, my very own pair of Zoe's!!!

I got these bad boys (er... girls?) at Zara. They were over 50% on sale and I couldn't help myself. I loved them since the first time I saw them, but thought were too expensive.

Oh, and a little cheer-you up for those of you who are in the cold areas ....

that's right, while you're freezing your little asses off, I'm sweating mine off.
That's 40 degrees CELSIUS... which roughly is 100 F.

So be happy you can still go out without wanting to peel your clothes off!

Zoe Much Drama!

I love shoes... and when I say that, I mean I won't go out for several weekends so that I can save up money to buy a good new pair of shoes.
Well, I'd been a very good girl (money-saving wise) when I spotted the Zoe's back on solestruck.com so, I decided to do some more digging around and arrived at shoes.com ... where not only could I order the Zoe's in my size, but I could also get a discount ($20 USD, but who cares ... it's dinner for one).
So I ordered them and I went around the house with a stupid grin on my face for some time ... until I noticed that there was a new email in my inbox. Oh noooo!! The order WAS CANCELLED! Perhaps because my mom's credit card (mine was unceremoniously taken away and cut in half by the parents) is Mexican. Yep, even websites are discriminative (jk!)
Obviously, I got up bright and early on Saturday (meaning: 11:00am) and called up and asked why, oh whyy, had my payment not been accepted. Turns out the problem was, in fact, that mommy's card isn't from the U.S. Talk about discriminative, no? That poor card has done nothing but nice things for the U.S. economy :( She suffered unjustly (but my dad gloated). In the end I had to call my grandfather and ask him for his credit card number ... so, after all the drama, I went into the shoes.com page and they were out on size 7s! #WTF
It was only, literally, a couple of hours
So I just went back to solestruck.com and now, THE ZOE'S ARE ON THEIR WAY TO ME! At last!!

The Novato ... I'd had my eyes on these beauties for a couple of months now.
Los Novato ... ya hace meses que sueño con estas hermosuras.

Para el Día de Ayer

Lately, I've been hanging out a lot with some of the people I met at the Day Camp in which I participated this summer for my Social Service hours.
Let me tell you that it has been a very long time since I last laughed as much as I have these past couple of weeks and I am truly grateful for that.
The only "problem"? They think I dress a little bit funny.
Against their Hollister Co. shirts, I've decided to take this as a compliment (:

Traducción:
Últimamente me he estado juntando muchísimo con algunas de las personas que conocí en el Campamento en el que participé este verano para hacer mis horas de Servicio Social.
La verdad es que ya había pasado demasiado tiempo desde la última vez que me reí como lo he hecho estas últimas semanas ... y en verdad estoy muy agradecida por poder tener momentos tan felices otra vez.
El único "problema"? Ellos piensan que me visto chistoso.
Comparándome con sus playeras de Hollister Co., tomaré eso como un cumplido (:

PS. My laptop has now left this world to go to Computer Hell ... which laptop do you recommend I buy (not Mac's)?

PD. Mi laptop ya se fue al Infierno de las Computaras ... que laptop me recomiendan que compre (que no sea una Mac)?

Para el Día de Hoy

I am super excited because this summer we will be moving into a new house.

Right now, my parents, my brother and I live in a small apartment that was meant to be for my brother and myself only.

However, after things got real bad in my hometown, my parents came over here.

These photos were taken at the new house.

It's still not completely finished, but we're getting there.

Yay!!!

Oh, and btw, I got tired of the dark green background ...
