25 Random Things About Me

1. I am addicted to Red Vines. I can finish a whole tub in a week. I can share but I usually have to bring along an extra pack for others.

2. I love giving massages. I go around patting people on the back and then it randomly turns into a massage.


3. I use to think I hated kids so much, but when I was a junior in high school my mom made me apply to be a tutor (I tried to refuse). Then after working with the kids for a couple days I realized I actually loved them.

4. When I first began college I was a Biochemistry Major then I changed my major to Theology and Religious Studies.


5. I usually go for really intelligent people who aren’t arrogant. I really appreciate it when a person can explain things to me without making me feel like an idiot.

6. One of my biggest pet peeves is when gasoline drips from the nozzle; even a little drop annoys me.


7. When I haven’t had enough sleep I usually get really hyper and get a laugh attack, which means I can’t stop laughing for no apparent reason. Once it happened when I was in Spanish Class and my teacher called on me to read a paragraph, I tried to contain myself but I couldn’t and burst out laughing. It was horrible, but I apologized to her afterwards and she was really nice about it.

8. For my 13th Birthday, I was in Mexico and the only gift I received was a box of Ferrero Rocher Chocolates from Lalo and Tio Roberto but I was the happiest girl alive. I ate one piece of chocolate each day because they were so delicious.


9. I like going out dancing with friends but I’d rather go watch a musical, play, or play board games.

10. Staying home and watching movies from the comfort of my home is so much more fun than going out to a movie theater.


11. Barney is my favorite television show. I learned so much from that big purple dinosaur. :D I also really like watching Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, Growing Pains, and Matlock.

12. I was in the Marching Band freshmen – senior year of high school. I really miss those days. I got an adrenaline rush at each performance. I can’t choose a favorite year because they were all so amazing but I really enjoyed going to Reno for during my senior year; I loved my roommates they were really fun girls but they probably got annoyed of me laughing/snorting the whole night.


13. Green Beans are delicious especially the ones they have at C-street. Oh, and I really like chocolate chip and banana pancakes... I can’t forget to mention PJ’s Omelets they are the best. Mmmm…

14. My favorite foods are Posole, Chile Relleno de Haiba, Tortas de Milanesas, orange chicken, phad thai, pho with tofu, and fried ice cream.


15. When I was little they called me Gorda, which made me really sad but now I understand it was just "un nomber de carino"… Other nicknames I have are YODA, Yaya, Jodel, pecosa, DAL-E (DELL-EEE), DOLL-YA, someone tried to call me E-D but I wasn’t really into it and in grade school all the boys called me YADO.

16. I loved playing soccer growing up but then I stopped playing after my freshmen year in high school.


17. I disliked wearing glasses growing up, but now I can’t live without them.

18. I bought my first car for $500; it was a red Nissan Sentra. One day it was really foggy and I crashed into a corn field on my way to school. My car got stuck and I had to have my parents pick me up.


19. I am an advocate for all human beings born and unborn. I feel very passionate about standing up for the most vulnerable in our society: homeless people, Gay, Lesbian, Transgendered, Bisexuals, unborn babies, uneducated people, immigrants, refugees, the poor, and abused men, women, and children.

20. As a teenager I worked in agricultural fields: corn, onion, sugar beets, as well as, apple, nectarine, and peach orchards.


21. As a sophomore in college I had the best roommate ever. We made youtube videos and stayed up until 2 am talking. It was amazing. I miss living with her.

22. In the Summer of 2008, I lived in Glendale, AZ. It was really fun. I lived with Kelly she is amazing!!


23. Doing Direct Service is something I am very passionate about. I love working with people and helping in any way possible.

24. My family is very important to me. On my top five (T-Mobile) I’ve had Mom, Armando, NENA, DAD, Juan, Grandma, because they all mean so much to me. I usually can’t go a day without calling one of them. I usually switch them in and out but the three I always keep are my mom, Armando (dad), and my Dad (Raul).


25. I was once told that whenever I get a chance to make a wish I should wish for happiness because when you wish for a specific thing you never really know if that thing will make you happy. But if you wish for happiness no matter what you get you’ll be happy and that’s what life is about. I hope to make the world a better place through my happiness.

I really like this song!

IF YOU'RE NOT THE ONE...
BY DANIEL BEDINGFIELD


If youre not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If youre not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all

I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
Well make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with

I dont want to run away but I cant take it, I dont understand
If Im not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

If I dont need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I dont need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If youre not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If youre not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?

I dont know why youre so far away
But I know that this much is true
Well make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray in youre the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life

I dont want to run away but I cant take it, I dont understand
If Im not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
cause I love you, whether its wrong or right
And though I cant be with you tonight
And know my heart is by your side

I dont want to run away but I cant take it, I dont understand
If Im not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that i
