28 Feb 2007After what Maria went through with her traumatic experience, it’s only normal for her to be suffering shock. The problem is her condition is worsening. Life does not hold any significance for her right now. Working, spending time with family, or doing whatever else are only ways to pass the time and don’t have any [...]

28 Feb 2007Vanesa came over today after work and we relaxed and watched a hilarious movie named Scoop. After talking for a while, with both of us ravenously hungry, we went to Xalapa for some hard to find Mexican food. We were both tired and a little quiet after having talked quite a bit earlier.

23 Feb 2007It wasn’t the U.S. Open by any means, but when I heard the ATP Tour had an event in Buenos Aires, I figured it was be a great chance to take in my first professional tennis tournament. Last night Vanesa & I went to the Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis Club (ironically named seeing as how [...]

20 Feb 2007I just finished reading my first book in Spanish, Relato de un Náufrago by Gabriel García Márquez. Sure, we read a couple small books in high school, but I wouldn’t have understood a thing if it weren’t for the help of my teacher Mrs. Nemer. Back then, I had to translate everything verbatim and then [...]

19 Feb 2007I’m mulling over the possibility of Vanesa and I traveling to Minnesota in July to visit for a couple weeks during Vanesa’s winter break from classes. It’s not that I don’t love and miss my family, but the main reason would be to give Vanesa a chance to meet everyone and at least get a [...]

17 Feb 2007My opinion of pop culture and it stars continues its precipitous decline from extremely low to well, whatever is below that. The intellectual vacuity and sheer ignorance of these people will never cease to amaze me. Al Gore announced that on July 7th, he, Cameron Diaz, and others will help host a concert series named [...]

15 Feb 2007For the first time in my life, I had the chance to share Valentine’s Day with another person. The Day left me with two contradictory feelings.
One time I thought I disagreed with Rush Limbaugh. It was last year, Valentine’s Day of 2006. He was on a diatribe about how Valentine’s Day was highly commercialized and [...]

13 Feb 2007I went back to class today as Maria was finally able to try resuming her life. After 10 days she is still in a state of shock and fear. Here’s what happened.
Sunday, February 4th at 1 a.m., she was at a stoplight on one of the busiest streets in Buenos Aires, 9 de Julio. Four [...]

13 Feb 2007Sunday night, while I was reheating some spaghetti in the microwave, Vanesa was at the computer looking over possible class options for the upcoming semester. She was trying to decide what classes to take given the possibility of us moving to the U.S. before she graduates. She was obviously confused and unsure of how she [...]
