1. I was born in Lima-Peru, and I never thought that fact would ever make me interesting or different from everyone else.
2. I lived in Spain for 10 months, and getting used to living there was 100 times more difficult than getting used to living in Boston. Even with the same language.
3. I've been wanting to live in the USA for as long as I can remember.
4. Even though I love compliments, I can't help but feel selfconscious when I hear the "your english is great" line. I guess I know my own faults and I'm aware there's still a lot of work to be done.
5. I was raised with the idea that I didn't really need to learn how to do anything around the house because that's why we had maids for.
6. But even then, I always showed my domestic side by taking interest in deep-cleaning my bedroom, organizing/rearranging the living room, and making dinner for my family. You can call me Martha.
7. I'm one of those rare people who loves ironing and does it to perfection. But I pretend I don't so I don't get any extra work.
8. I always complained that my line of work wasn't conducive to meeting guys. At least not single or childless guys. Then I met my husband. At work.
9. Speaking of my husband, I can guarantee you won't ever find someone weirder than him. He's a total oddball. His ship has sailed to the island of doom.
10. Having my daughter was the one thing that showed me that unconditional love isn't a myth. She also showed me that there isn't such thing as buying too much Mac and Cheese. Or paper towels.
11. Meeting my husband was the one thing that showed me soulmates DO exist, but you do have to look hard... and in places you'd never think of looking.
12. I secretly wish I could be discovered and become a famous singer. Not that I would ever sing in public. Or want to be famous. Maybe a little.
13. I'm scared of ballons. I hate it when they pop. Seriously, who came up with that idea? a terrorist?
14. When I was younger, I used to imagine the ways I would make my evil future mother-in law eat her words and leave me and my future husband alone, the nosy bitch.
15. I'm happy to report that that won't be necessary. I've been blessed with the best in-laws a girl can ask for. How they put up with my antics, is beyond me.
16. I never want to look like a frumpy, soccer mom/wife. I see myself as a somewhat sophisticated person. Hopefully I would never be featured in "What Not To Wear" (although a 5 grand shopping spree wouldn't be too shabby :P)
17. I'm still hoping to have a real, wedding gown-and-a-tux-in-a-church wedding. I want the party. I want the pictures. The flowers, the cake. It is my wish to become Bridezilla.
18. Most people have just one BFF. I must've done something right in life because I'm the lucky winner of 4 fabulous, fantastic, ridiculously amazing friendships: Ofelia, Alain, Jen and Renzo. They are the other loves of my life.
19. I've kissed a girl and I liked it. It tasted like chicken (NOT like cherry chapstick).
20. BTW, I had to write "I liked it" because that's how the song goes. But it was amusing.
21. I like to be controversial (please reffer to # 19), and I'm generally percieved as humorous. Being the "funny girl" beats being the "hot girl" any day. It translates into being "approachable", never "intimidating".
22. I love Family Guy. I could spend 24 straight hours watching it and laughing my ass off. It's so inappropiate, out of line and disrespectful, you can't help but wonder what the hell are those guys smoking when they write the shows.
23. I want to become a Professional Chef sometime in the next 3 years. If that fails, I can always be a stripper and rock the pole.
24. Once I'm a Chef (or a stripper), I would love to take training (strippin') courses in Italy, France and Thailand.
25. I absolutely love Elmo. And I made sure my daughter loved him as much as I do. We're obsessed.
