LG: Los Doyers!

We went to one more Dodger game before going back to school. It was by far one of my favorite Dodyer experiences! It was me, my brother Edgar, and the two Mexicans! Andy and Bryan. It was hilarious, from getting there and grubbing, to lil Manny running around, to las hainas, to Chino running to get a postcard with his uncles picture on it, to big guy dancing next to us, to booing the Brewers fans, to the 7th Inning Stretch, to getting lost in the parking lot, to getting a ripped Manny poster, to the guys picking up on some chicks, to Bryan yelling his number out, to going to the taco spot! I love hanging with my brother and the Mexicans!

Dodger Police! haha!

LG: Dia de el SalvadoreƱo!

This passed weekend my brother Edgar and I were driving by some streets in Los Angeles, known for the Central American culture and atmosphere. Well it turns out that this past weekend they were celebrating the 8th Annual August Festivals for The day of the Salvadorian! They closed down some streets and had live music, good food, Salvadorian souveniers, rides, beautiful art, and they were giving out FREE stuff!!! I LOVE LA!!!


Banner that let us know where the PARTY was at...woohoo!

Great band that was playing some good Bachata jams

There was an art gallery from the Salvadoran Artist Group...here are my favorites:





A rainy day in El Salvador


So many roads, so little time and no where to go.


Mother Nature.





This photo was my absolute favorite. Not only is the painting such a huge reality, but it's so vivid. What I didn't notice was that the guy to the left has a FMLN shirt on. FMLN is the communist political party in El Salvador, who for the first time in twenty years won the 2009 Presidential Election. It is a controversial photo because FMLN was one of the main reasons why people began to flee El Salvador as refugees during the Civil War in 1980. The FMLN would unwillingly recruit people to become Guerillas and fight against the government.

Intriguing Coincidence.

LG: EFF! They're leaving...

My very good friends, Emily and Jeff are leaving to Virginia Beach on Wednesday. They are hilarious and will be greatly missed. Emily was my floor sister freshman year, I attended most of the events just to hang out with her. Then I got a job right next to her department. That was so much fun, a lot happened in those 2 years we worked together. From the bizzar people that would come by, to her promotion, to crazy altercations, to her engagement/marriage with Jeff, to pranking Lindsay, Sushi (the fish), to the loooong errands we would go on. I will miss both of you very very much. The backside of admissions will never be the same. haha!

Tea Party we both had to attend. The best part was Emily's peanut butter and jelly with chocolate chip mini triangle sandwiches.


Last day we saw each other.

Their facial expression everytime they saw me! haha!
