Paris: My Fab Five
Paris, the city of lights and love, has captured my heart again. Ever since I came in 2005, I always leave feeling in awe of what this city has. This time is no different.

A Classy Sunday
This past Sunday was mucho funo. Normally I stick to the cheapest food around, being the poor college student that I am. However, my friends and I found ourselves buying expensive things – a $80.00 shirt! – and relatively good cheap white wine – $11.99 – from Vintage New York. After considerable amount of walking in…
