Spain wishing
The first thing i want to say is that Stephanie Arroyo is my other half. She is the coolest person in the world, other than me of course. I'm so glad that she is going to Spain with me!! The group that is going to Spain is an interesting bunch. The sad part is that there is technically one eligible and sort of good looking bachelor. So all the girls, well most of them, flock to this certain someone and try to get his attention or talk to him. Stephy and I have a pretend crush on him and we love to joke around that we are in love with him, it is so hilarious. For example, we went to Apple store at the mall the other day and played around with the Photobooth application on one of the notebooks and i pulled out a paper and put "WE LOVE PHIL" on it and we sent the pic to him. The next day it happened to be his birthday and we got him a cute Mickey Mouse balloon and since he's on a diet, which he claims he's doing to get into a speedo when in Europe, we brought him a granola bar and an apple. I do hope he knows we are kidding with the whole thing, but i kinda think he is cute, not going to lie. Since Spain is just around the corner, me and steph want to watch Spanish movies and look at Spanish books so we can enrich ourselves and familiarize ourselves with some of the culture before we go there. The only movie they had that I wanted from Spain was Vicky Cristina Barcelona, which i had seen before, but Stephy had not. I personally loved the movie because I think Penelope Cruz was fantastic, her Oscar was well deserved and because I love Barcelona. Woody Allen did a fantastic job on the film. Before we watched the movie at my crib, we stopped at Borders to look at the books on Spain in the travel section. There are sooooo many to choose from, so i decided to look for books on Spanish cuisine and i found this amazing book called Spain...A Culinary Road Trip with Mario Batali and Gwyneth Paltrow!!!! They went throughout all of Spain and included the regions best foods and recipes and restaurants. I looked through the entire book and wrote down the names of certain foods and what part of Spain they were from. I'm so excited beyond measure to go to Spain! Words cannot even describe how much I am looking forward to it! Spain has always been important to me because my great grandparents were Spaniards who came to Mexico. I love Spanish movies, MUSIC, and MEN, yes Fernando Torres, Iker Casillas, Victor Valdes, Sergio Ramos, Cesc Fabregas, Xabi Alonso, Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta, Rafael Nadal, to only name a FEW!!!! I'm the biggest futbol fan and going to such a city as Madrid, with the history and richness of the glory that Real Madrid has makes me want to tear up and cry with joy. When we tour the Santiago Bernabeú I will for sure let out a few tears of excitement. I love the way men speak I think it is so sexy, Europeans are just better looking! The music, where can i begin??!! Spanish guitar is the most beautiful kind of music in the world, it soothes the soul. The Gypsy kings and Paco de Lucia are the greatest of this genre. I love Spanish pop as well. David Bisbal has the most beautiful voice in the world and is my favorite romantic singer. Everything about Spain is amazing and I cannot wait to bask in the Spanish sunshine! :)
