Peacing Out of Gringolandia. Thursday, September 18, 2008. Buenas Noches, Damas y Caballeros. Thank you DC friends for weighing in at the last minute on the poll! Heehe I feel loved. And I am returning for New Year´s, so get ready! We´re gonna part like it´s 889 (A or D) haha. Hmmm, let´s see, what else is new with me? But it feels silly to say you´re mad at a computer. But I was! In other noticias, I also took a pretty bad spill down the stairs lol. I feel like such a klutz here! Am I old now? What do I...

http://amandaisthenewblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/life-is-funny.html
Peacing Out of Gringolandia. Tuesday, September 9, 2008. Sorry for not writing for a while. It appears I go thru phases lol. Anyway, thought I would share this funny little tidbit with you from the other day at work. And I replied (albeit a bit slower :) in Spanish. Anyway, she had offered me a ride to the bus stop, and I happily accepted (Since she did not appear to be a mass murderer, Mom and Dad). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What should I do for New Years? What country do I want to visit next?

Peacing Out of Gringolandia: La Vida Luja (The Luxurious Life :)
http://amandaisthenewblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/la-vida-luja-luxurious-life.html
Peacing Out of Gringolandia. Tuesday, September 23, 2008. La Vida Luja (The Luxurious Life :). So I am getting quite comfortable having hot water and frequent massages :) This is a problem, right? Our hotel in Costa Rica was balla (I had fun explaining the meaning of that word to everyone here in Nica! Then my parents and I headed over to Nicaragua! We are now staying at a sweet hotel in Granada called Hotel Colonial, which, coincidentally also has a swim up bar (I promise I didn´t plan that! Will I surv...

Peacing Out of Gringolandia. Sunday, April 20, 2008. In the meantime, thank you to everyone who voted to say I was old. Just remember, that makes you old too. Friday, April 11, 2008. Feliz cumpleanos a mi! Heehe Soy la princesa hoy. =) I am now the ripe old age of 24, but it´s been a great day so I haven´t freaked out about being an "adult for real" yet.

Peacing Out of Gringolandia. Wednesday, August 20, 2008. The Social Music Revolution. So I wanted to share with you all something cool I found today- Last.fm. Also, the poll was a trick question last week, sorry! The answer is any/all of the above lol. Monday, August 18, 2008. Viva Leon, Jodido! As for the title of this post, it is the title of a famous song here, and also the city that we went to visit last weekend. As for what it means, I tend to translate it as: Long live Leon, bitches! OK, lots of lo...

Peacing Out of Gringolandia: January 2008
http://amandaisthenewblog.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Peacing Out of Gringolandia. Thursday, January 31, 2008. SHOUT OUT: HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADAM! And now, on to the rest of the post:. Answering the phone here terrifies me. This is in part because people in Nicaragua answer the phone by saying “Alo,” or “Hello” with a Spanish accent. So, imagine me trying to imitate a Nicaraguan trying to imitate someone from the U.S. Thoughts running thru my head include—Are they going to think I’m mocking them? What else can I say? Should I just say hello in my regular voice?

Peacing Out of Gringolandia. Tuesday, September 30, 2008. Saving the World or Changing It. Even though nearly every nation on earth, including the US, committed to the Millennium Development Goals to cut extreme poverty in half by 2015, poverty in places like sub-Saharan Africa has actually increased over the last several years while foreign aid to fight poverty has decreased. How we deal with this issue is the great moral calling of the new generation of Christian leaders. Friday, September 26, 2008.
