Earth Hour

What will you be doing this Saturday night from 8:30 to 9:30 pm? Will you be voting Earth? On March 28 you can Vote Earth by switching off your lights for one hour. Or, you can vote global warming by leaving your lights on. The results of the election are being presented at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009. They want one billion votes for Earth, to tell world leaders that we have to take action against global warming. They need the world to take action on Global Warming. And you can start here. So, are you in? I'm happy to say that we are voting earth this Saturday. It's only one hour. Easy!! Lots of cool stuff you can do in the dark LOL.

What the heck?

It's very difficult for me to say ~No~ or to that ~No thank you; not interested~ and close the door to people asking for something. I got a knock on my door early this afternoon and it was a young guy. Boy, he was talking so fast that I could barely keep up with him. Ok. I'm all up to helping people when I can and when I have extra money. These type of people talk to fast and (thank goodness I knew about them before) they just want to suck you in and earn those "points" they want for supposedly take a trip somewhere in the world (this guy wanted a trip to Spain). No thank you!! These people knock on your door, start talking about what they are doing, the points they get, suck you in to sign for some magazines for 2 or 3 years... and the magazines are even MORE expensive than when you buy the subscription in those little papers the magazines have inside. I mean, they don't even ask ~are you interested?~. Noooo!!! They just ask for your name and write it on their little paper paystub and tell you they just need a hard surface so they can write more comfortably. At that point, I told him I was broke and I only had $5+ in my wallet (which is true). He then asked if I had a checkbook... no I don't!! Credit Card... no I don't!! So, he said thank you and left. Phew!! Wish I knew who he was before opening the door and start listening to what he had to say... which by the way, it was getting close to the time I needed to leave to go pick up Joel from school. I only opened the door because he looked like the maintenance guy around here. And, he was really nice but all vendors are nice.

Talking about vendors, a guy named Felipe was supposed to call me yesterday in the morning about the car but he never did. I blanked out when he called on Monday morning and I totally forgot to give him my husband's work number. But, like my husband says "if it's mean to be it will be". So, no worries.

St. Patrick's Day came and went. I made the kids green cupcakes which they loved!! And to top it off, they asked for green milk too LOL. That day, when I went to pick up Joel from school, it was so cute to see a lot of green in the kids... even silly hats, socks, and green jewelry. Everybody was in the St. Patrick's spirit. What's the next fun holiday coming?... Easter!!!

Decades

My latest favorite song right now. Decades V2 from Assemblage 23. I can't stop listening to it!

Daylight Saving Time

This DST has taken an hour away from me this morning. I was waken up by Joel telling me it was already 7:20 in the morning. Great! I usually got up around 6ish (sometimes even 5:30) and today I wanted to keep sleeping. Ugh!! I still feel so tired and sleepy and I feel like I didn't had enough sleep. Joy!! Coffee didn't do squat for me. I might stop by Circle K and get a cup of their strong coffee and see if that wakes me up before I head out to pick up Joel from school in a little bit.

A trip to Starbucks

I love Starbucks! I love their coffee, their flavored ones, their frappuccinos, and it doesn't matter if it's a cold one or a hot one... I love them all!!  Not to long ago, we didn't had a local Starbucks around here.  I had to drive around 12 miles to buy coffee at Starbucks and that Starbucks was inside a grocery store. But then, our community decided to open a big chain grocery store around here so a little mall was created and in there was a new Starbucks.  Oh yeah!!  Heaven for me.  What's the best thing to relax?  Free WiFi, Starbucks, and a tall (or grande) flavored coffee. So yesterday, I decided to stopped by Starbucks after picking up Joel from school and just take a little drive to Starbucks.  As these photos show, we're surrounded by mountains and beautiful nature views. My kids got some French pastry and an apple juice.  I got my favorite... a hot caramel macchiato.

iDracula game

The other day, I decided to browse around the App Store through my iPod and came across this iDracula App for the iPhone/iPod Touch. I'm a big fan of vampires so almost anything that is related to vampires, or dracula, I'm there. At first, I wasn't too sure in buying this iDracula game but Joel ended up brainwashing me lol. So, I bought the game for $0.99 (which said it was on special?). To my surprise, that game is totally awesome!! The graphics are super, the game play, and even the music!! I think it's worth the $0.99... I don't know for how much longer it will be on special. It's just amazing how Apple came out with such fun gadgets like the iPhone and the iPod Touch.

March already?

I can't believe we are in March already. From now on, I'll see Summer in the distance. Lately, we've been having some warm/hot weather over here; thanks to that high pressure. Yesterday, we got close to the 80's. Today, we're in the mid 80's. Perfect weather to be at the beach or take a dip in the pool. We have all the windows open right now, so this wonderful breeze is getting in and it feels so good.

So in this month, there is this exhibition called "Body Worlds & the Brain" in our local Natural History Museum opening in March 5th. Some years ago, this exhibition came to San Diego but I didn't had the chance to see it. Two of my cousins went and they said it was an amazing experience. I love things like this... science, human physiology, etc. Tickets are a little high if we can't go in an off peak day but I'll try to go.
