Birthday...hmm

After thinking for some time about what I could do to celebrate my 22nd birthday (:o) and to do something out of the ordinary and celebrate finishing the first month of college, finally today everything came together. While Rosa and Cristina were at Abby's early birthday party, mom and I stopped by a little tea room and antique shoppe called The Vintage Tea Room. It is perfect!  I was so excited that I felt I had to write a post.

So, two weeks from today (on September 26th) at 3:30 in the afternoon, Cristina, Joanna, Holly, Bobbi (Blanca - a home-schooled friend who Cristina and I went to 'high-school' with for two years), Jaz (Jazmine - a music major friend I met my first semester at college), Emily, Rosa and my mom will gather and have a grand tea party. At this shop, there is a collection of dresses and shoes, so one dresses up in period costumes, including hats, and enjoys a meal, tea and desert. The tables each have old fashioned table cloths and the entire place is decorated

with quaint, period antiques. I so wish Tessi, Andrea, Antonia, Rachel, Anna, Sarah, Olivia and Katrina could join us! I think they would greatly enjoy such an afternoon. I shall try to put up pictures after the event.


Then, after tea, Joanna, Holly, Cristina, mom and I will come home and with Dad (and maybe Susana), watch a movie have cheese pizza, tres leches cake and have a toast of sparkling white wine and non alcoholic beverage depending on the person. We shall also watch the Presidential

debate, not because we are so into politics that we must call a party for the event, but at least three of we college students present need to watch it for classes at school (the girls can tell their teacher they had a party for watching the debate - just leave out that the reason for the party wasn't the debate).

Then, Saturday morning we will go to UTPA for the community day of Hispanic Engineering Science and Technology (HESTEC - http://www.hestec.org/index.cfm). There they shall have a NASA exhibit with a flight simulator and many other scientific activities.

You're the Only Place

North & South - You're the only place (Josh Groban)

You're the Only Place

Seems like our love is on the road to nowhere fast
All my life I thought a love like this would last
But every road can hide a corner we can't see
I had a vision that I woke up by your side
I felt you breathing and our souls were intertwined
But who controls love's destiny -- not me

We had it all
Right in our hands
We had the space to fly and still the place to land

So I'm calling out
I'm calling out you're the only one
Who can save us from what we've done
Don't leave me hanging on
I'm reaching out and praying you'll come back again
It's just darkness I'm living in
And you're the only place my heart has ever been

Maybe I'm young and in the ways of love, naïve
Maybe I'm desperate for a reason to believe
There wasn't anyway I thought that we would fall
I've seen perfection in a rainbow in the sky
I've seen a child make the coldest grown man cry
But loving you I thought was greater than them all
We had it all
Just you and me
And now there is a doorway to my heart without a key

So I'm calling out
I'm calling out to the only one
Who can save us from what we've done
Don't leave me hanging on
I'm reaching out and praying you'll come back again
It's just darkness I'm living in
And you're the only place my heart has ever been

Wherever you are right now
Come back and show me how you feel
Because I'm lost without you here

Calling out
I'm calling out to the only one
Who can save us from what we've done
Don't leave me hanging on
I'm reaching out and praying you'll come back again
It's just darkness I'm living in
And you're the only place my heart has ever been
