À la poursuite du bonheur

October 3, 2012 by findingpaola

À la poursuite du bonheur- traslated: In the pursuit of Happiness What really is the fast track to happiness? At times, my friends ask me if I’m ever mad or sad because I guess I don’t usually display my somber moods. I assure you, as an imperfect human being, I do get upset at times just like everyone else. I just choose (wisely I hope) what things to ignore and what to spend my energy on. I noticed two articles on Marie Claire’s (UK edition) April 2012 […]

“You’re not special”

June 13, 2012 by findingpaola

After seeing snippets of Mr. David McCullough Jr.’s commencement speech posted on numerous sites over the past few days, I decided to read it thoroughly a number of times. I agree with everything he said. The man spoke the truth without sugar-coating anything, and I applaud him for that. Although his speech was addressing an audience of privileged, middle class, high school students, it’s clear that his views about selflessness were for anyone (no matter the social class, age, etc.) who would […]

Ocho

March 27, 2012 by findingpaola

I will return to San Antonio only if I can go back to Ocho, a restaurant Tyler found on Yelp during a our long weekend/friend’s wedding getaway. Tyler has this thing where he refuses to eat at just a random restaurant, no matter how crowded or successful it seems. He figures most crowded places near a water front or town center will only serve overpriced, below-average food with poor service, which is probably accurate the majority of the time. So, […]

It’s a beautiful life

May 5, 2011 by findingpaola

“The most important things in life aren’t things.”    I was at the gym yesterday and the song “it’s a beautiful life” started playing. I immediately started dancing and singing along while changing in the locker room. I agree, it is a beautiful life. To me, life is all about cherishing what you have while working hard towards your goals. It’s about seeing growth and progress. It’s about giving and accepting love. It’s about helping, teaching and learning. It’s about taking […]

One of the most memorable nights in NYC...

Deep breath.

June 9, 2009 by findingpaola

A few weeks ago, my mother said to me in Kreyol, “Mwen pa konnen ki sa ou t’ap fè si nou pat janm vi’n na peyi saa.” (I’m not sure what you would do if we never came to this country.) She called me while I was at work,  and we were having one of our usual mother-daughter conversations. I would ask her how she was doing,  she would respond in the same manner she always had.  Then, she would […]
