Just wanted to share this song.



I love the sounds of the instruments in this song and the voices of course. 
I've always enjoyed the great music of Buena Vista Social Club.
If you haven't, you should definitely check them out.


Back to birthday party planning, and filling up the month of May with activities. Heading to Orlando this weekend, and next month too for the Electric Daisy Carnival.  That's my Mother's Day gift :) and I couldn't be any happier about it. 

For those of you that have never heard of it, it's the biggest electronic dance music festival (outside of Europe). It's almost like Ultra Music Festival but it actually seems soooo much better!


This is the official trailer for the EDC 2010. 
Doesn't this look freaking awesome?


For Easter, we all gathered at the beach. It was nice for the most part.


Seems like we will be gone for a couple of weeks in June to New York.
After we come back, I'll be on the hunt for a daycare/preschool because 
I will be starting Culinary School in the Fall.

FINALLY! I cant wait!!!!!  I can't wait till I get my knives and chef whites! I know, you must be asking yourself "Didn't you want to do Pastry School?"  The  answer is yes, but I've
 also wanted to go to culinary school too. It'd just make me a better 
human in the kitchen :-P but before I was interested in PS I 
wanted to go to CS and I'm extremely picky with  where I want to get this education from.
I am going for The French Culinary Institute, but that's in NY which is 
not where I'm currently located. So in the meantime I will stick with 
the Miami Culinary Institute in Downtown Miami.
I'm excited to see what this program will be like, and who/how are my classmates.


Ciao!

Excuse me..




Sophie decided to rip the keys off my sister's laptop (which is the one I've been using because mine is in NY) so that's been part of the hold up on my posts.


Also, the camera that I just bought in February, broke. Yay! Now I have to send it in and get it fixed..sigh


I got an iPhone 4, and I'm totally addicted to that electronic :-/
There's so much to do on that tiny thing. It's definitely one of my guilty pleasures.
And because I've been all over the place with this phone it's served to be quite a great tool to capture my sightings. It's great to have as a camera because it's small, fast and has tons of apps with different lens and filters. I'm not even going to start talking about the retina display. Moving on...


Since I got the iPhone, I've been posting on Tumblr, and Twitter..
I guess you can follow me on there also, since it's updated quite a few times throughout the day.
May not be many words, but there is plenty of eye candy.


 Tumblr  and Twitter




Well I'm off to bed, got lots on my hands with this birthday planning! This little girl is turning two soon..geez!

I also took a trip to the fair JUST for the food..Horrible; yes I know, but 
how often is the Fair around? (18 days, once a year).
Pictures of that night will be posted (hopefully) sometime this week.
