  • At A Crossroad
    Changing things up a bit today. Not recommending or reviewing anything, just venting. My life has been pretty hectic lately. And it’s not just with the school, work and other personal things going on around here that some of you know about… but it’s much, much more. Lately there’s been a lot of highs and lows, laughs and crying. Too much on my...

  • Preparing for an Interview
    I had an interview on Monday! It was a practice interview. So there I was, thinking that it would be a breeze because the instructor was the one doing the interview and he’s a really cool guy. I did okay, I honestly thought I could have done better though. After the interview I realized that I didn’t say everything that I planned on saying. Even though I...

  • Quinceañera, Sweet 16, or None of the Above?
    We received an invitation the other day to a friend’s daughter’s Quinceañera. The invitation is beautiful and my mother and I were talking about how great it is for families to go through all of this trouble to create beautiful memories for their children. Families spend oodles of cash for these things and might I add that we don’t exactly live in Beverly...

  • Captured Memories
    I took this picture at Costco today. I thought it was so cute, 2 brothers and a sister staring into the meat department. My mom told me she overheard them talking about how huge some fish were, one claiming that it must be the biggest fish in the world. I thought it was such a cute moment and wanted to take a picture. (I’ve been trying to make use of my N95 in that...

  • Warming Up To The Cam Again
    Hello! I haven’t been blogging as much as I’d like to, but there’s a good reason for it – honest! For those who don’t know, I’m GRADUATING! I’m actually done with Finals and the commencement ceremonies start on Friday. Needless to say, I’ve been studying like crazy to make sure that I pass all my classes and graduate with...

  • Touched
    Happy New Years Eve I received something in the mail today that just made my New Years Eve extra special. Earlier this year I learned about DonorsChoose.org through BlogCatalog. DonorsChoose is a site where teachers ask for donations for specific items (such as books, chalk, etc). I ended up browsing the site and found a cause that I wanted to donate money to. I loved...

  • Update
    Hello hello. Little update here. Everything over here has been okay, I’ve been busy which is why I haven’t been updating the site. I thought I’d be able to do more than I have been but that simply just hasn’t been the case! Which is why I’m 95% sure that after the domain name expires, anothermaria.com will not be back Meanwhile check me...

  • So Sorry..
    So sorry for the lack of updates, things have been really stressful / hectic here. A loved one has been in and out of the hospital for a while and when things seem to be getting better… it doesn’t… and just gets worse. Another surgery tomorrow, hope it goes well. Not to mention I’m in the  midst of Finals. So I try to calm my nerves down to study,...
