I AM A NEWBIE VEGETARIAN...

SO ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO I WENT TO SEE A DOMINICAN REPUBLIC FILM ENTITLED, "LA SOGA" (THE ROPE) THE FILM WAS GOOD, NOT REALLY MY STYLE BUT IT WAS WELL DONE.  HOWEVER THE MAIN CHARACTER WAS THE SON OF A BUTCHER AND AT ONE POINT IN THE MOVIE HE KILLED A PIG IN A VERY HARSH WAY. I WAS ABOUT TO GET UP AND THROW UP WHEN I SAW THAT, I TOTALLY FELT SICK.  SINCE THEN I TOLD MY MOTHER THAT I WAS NO LONGER EATING MEAT.  SHE THOUGHT I WAS SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE TEMPORARY AND HONESTLY I DID TOO.  BUT IT'S MOTH TWO AND I AM GOING STRONG.  I REALLY LOVE IT, I STILL EAT SEA FOOD WHICH MAKES MY MENUE A BIT BROADER.  AND I LOVE SUBSTITUTING MEAT WITH MUSHROOMS OR EGG PLANTS.  AND I LOVE VEGGIE BURGERS...

Winter Break Plans

I know its really early to be thinking out winter break but... its the perfect time to plan a trip.  So like I said before I love to travel, last winter break me and my friend Lindy from Nebraska went to visit our friend Tamber in Los Angeles, California.  We all met in Hawaii working at camp.  We spent a week there and it was so much fun, we loved it.  So we are planning to do the same this winter break, and my friend SJ from Hawaii is in Colorado for school and she'll join us in Los Angeles so that should be a blast.  Each one of those girls are so fun and funny, it'll be a good time.  I think that what I like best about them is that we can all just truly be ourselfs, we are loud and crazy but in the best way possible.  None of us drink or do things of the source, so it's good to have a bond build on Christ.  Everynight in LA last winter break we would end the day with a devotional. Well there are some pics of last winter break with Tamber and Lindy.

Adding Images to a Blog Post

So since I spent over two months in Hawaii this summer and got back only a few weeks ago I'm very sad about leaving.  I miss everything about Oahu, the beach, the stary nights, the people but what I miss the most are the Plumerias.   Everyday I would pick my favorite Plumeria, (the orange and pink one) and place it over my right ear.  In Hawaii when a girl wears her flower above the right ear it means she's single and above the left ear means she's taken.  So I decided to search google images for my favorite flower, and I found it.

About Me

Hey,

My name is Carolina Aurora Chinea, I'm 23 years old; I am in my last semester here at Umass Lowell; working on my bachelors in Modern Languages Spanish and a minor in English.
During the summers I work at camps, I've done that for five summers, the last two summers living beach front in Oahu, HI.  I love the Hawaiian lifestyle and the kids, I want to work as a teacher in Hawaii in the near future.  My favorite activities are traveling and anything outdoors... I love to surf, waterski, kayak, swim in the ocean, hike, bike, walk.  I am  a Christian so I spend a lot of time reading the bible and doing devotions,  the camp in Hawaii was a Christian camp so it was a true blessing to be able to just read the bible on the beach with friends. 
Well that's about it...
