Just for a mango smoothie. . .

When I first moved to the city I loved the fact that if I craved anything I could get up and go. As for the place I use to live in didn't have varies options. So one day I wanted a smoothie, better yet a strawberry and banana one. So I went to this random place that I had always driven by called Tropical Smoothie. As I enter there was a teenage boy standing at the register where he greeted me and I did the same. Even though I knew what I wanted I still checked out the menu to see what other options I had. That is when I saw "Mango Magic" never had I seen any mango flavor smoothies, well at least here in Oklahoma.  So I go ahead and tell him that I want Mango magic and this is how it goes.

 Me: Yes, can I please have the mango magic. (Saying mango in Spanish, it's just habit.)
Boy: We don't have that.
Me: Umm, you don't? Well it's on your menu.
Boy: No we don't sell that.
Me: Umm, I think you do.
Boy: No we don't have that.
Me: Well it's on your menu!
Boy: No we don't.
Me: Yes you do, it's the third from the bottom, on the right, Mango magic. ( At that moment I believe it was the third towards the bottom, but do keep in mind that it has been a couple of years from now.)

 He turns and looks at the menu and responds.
Boy: Oh, you mean mango magic? (Saying it in English)
Me: Yes, Mango Magic. (I clearly said that, I thought to myself.

 I couldn't believe that I stood there the entire time with this guy trying to get my point across, to only find out that he didn't understand me.

Only ones

"The greatest riches a man could have in his life is familia." Today is National Siblings' Day, so what better yet to talk about my crazy, bilingual, loud, black hair and brown eyed siblings. Well isn't that some type of way to describe them...but it's true. Well first of all there is seven of us so you could only imagine how it gets when we are all together. This is probably where you are thinking  the thought that "only Mexicans" have so many siblings!! So here it goes.... The oldest also known as 'La Chaparra' which explains her height...she's short. She's not even that short but since she is the oldest and we are all taller than her I guess she's consider short. Well anyways let me tell you about her she can be a headache with her rebellious ways but she can also be hilarious because Lord knows she has her days!! She's a hoot!!! She is also the one that everyone considers 'la que tiene los niños' in other words...

A Brief Run Down with Thoughts | Busco Novio Para Mi Mujer

Last night I went to go watch Busco Novio Para Mi Mujer. Les dejo saber que when it comes to a relationship, communication is the main keep point. I'm not a relationship expert pero hello..it's come sense. Well the movie is about a man (Paco) that is fed up with his nagging and nitpicking wife (Dana). So he decides to hire the man, "El Taiger" to seduce his wife so she can break off the marriage. Why, because he can't seem to communicate with his wife about how he really feels. Ni tiene los huevos para decirle que se quiere separar...

I Can't

So it has come to my attention that I'm very picky when it comes to guys. Well than again, who isn't? Many say it's all about the inside, don't go for the looks and blah, blah, blah. Well it's not that I'm over looking that or say it's wrong but I have certain outlooks about ''my dude.'' So I have decided to name some of the turn-offs that I have towards those guys I thought were cute but are no longer so attractive to me because of physical outlooks. First of all, I have nothing against a guy that is well-groomed, the more the better honey boo boo. Pero if his eyebrows look better than mine than there is a problem. I'm not going to lie, I love to have my eyebrows on point of course, but if my dude is going to have his better than mine, I can't. I really don't have an explanation about why this is but it's a turn-off for me. Since I'm talking about well-groomed, I will have to say that the next turn-off is body odor. T...
