Okay i dont know who the heck's big idea was naming this particular street after a cockroach and NOT expect for there to be so many cockroaches around this area, like they just never die, baby cockroaches here and there and then GIANT ones in the streets almost stepped on one and eeeekkk, yeahhh whoever named that street cursed Copacabana,,, Barata Ribeiro i cant avoid you even if i tried cuz thats where my busstop is at! Like who the hell likes cockroaaches to freakin name a street of all things name the street after ME cause ive been the best thing to come to RIO OBVIOOOUSLY.

COLD & WET

Sometimes you just need to throw on your sweater, grab your ipod and go out into the cold and rainy Rio night and walk for 2 hours to clear your mind and let the rain wash off whatever thoughts are bugging you. its amazing how therapeutic walks can be. looking out into the dark sea with the rain sprinkling on your face while you walk the empty streets along the beach. i think this was the coldest night in Rio in the 5 months, and it definitely brought back the feeling of being in the bay. funny how i had forgotten what cold even felt like. let the rain fall down, im comin clean...

BUT TODAY IS LASAGNA DAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

haha WHERE IS MY HOST MOM SHE DITCHED ME AND I WANT MY LASAGNA SHE NEEDS TO TURN ON THE OVEN AND PUT IT IN this would be fine on any other day (CUZ I LOVE BEING ALONE IN THIS APARTMENT) EXCEPTT today is lasagna day and it hasnt been put in the oven to cook yet its just in the fridge CRISIS :( WHERE ARE U OLDD LADYYYYY?!!!!

my epiFUNNYat 1am

haha get it? like epiphany, you know like a sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience. i dont know where i get this from but this is how i see myself: "i think i was God's gift to the world like God's being funny and sending his craziest and wackiest nut to the earth cuz i was driving him crazy in Heaven so he was like let the Earth handle her for 100 years."

if any of you are on tumblr.

my tumblr is sooooo HOT RIGHT NOW. themexicanbakery.tumblr.com thanks folks!

Backkk in stockkkk & back in my heart!!

Did i ever rant about the pistachio incident??? maybe, probably i dont even remember what i write on this thing, but anyways God knows and now the world does too, that i have a love affair with pistachios, and lets differentiate between the actual nut and the horrendous green vomit that is called pistachio ice cream.. ugh lets not even get started there just the thought of it makes me want to gag. But okay so apparently pistachios arent that popular here, for a fact most brasiians can attest to the fact that theyve never tried one in their life!! which equates to being one of the worst crimes that one can commit, because along with the heavenly green goodness called avocados which are also green, pistachios were meant to be God's preferred nut. Okay so theyre expensive yeah i know theyre expensive everywhere which again proves the point that they are exquisite and refined and must be given high value in this world!! So i had bought them here once or twice at the store but once upon reading an article on pistachios being good for one's health, i almost ran to the nearest Zona Sul supermarket to get me some little green crunchy jewels but as i got there i realized they had NONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. I thought this was maybe a mere coincidence so the next day i made sure to go to ANOTHERRRRRR branch and LET ME TELL YOU I ALMOST fell to my knees to weeep that they too did not have pistachios. So i gave myself up to the idea that id never see them again here in Brazil maybe they had gotten banned for being so sinfully pleasureful and that id have to wait till i got to the states... WELL TONIGHT WAS A TREASURE FILLED NIGHT because on my quest to restock on my almonds, another nut that i am very fond of, GUESS WHAT I SEEE NEXT TO THE CASHEWS FOLKS?! A SHITLOAD OF PISTACHIOS ALL STOCKED UP. I was so excited i even said THEYRE BACKKKKK! outloud haha whooops. NO I AINT SORRY, i grabbed them and almost shed tears of joy on my way to the cash register! I have been reunited with a long lost love!! Cheers my friends! keep calm and pistachio on!!! :)

most memorable mothers day post

k guys listen in this is what happened on mothers day 2013,,,, i was gonna go to the chique ass mall where all dazz ritch ass bitches go here in Rio and chill and pretend to study at the starbucks but insteadddddddddddd i said screw it im not studying im going on this crazy ass hike to the top of the 2 irmaos the mountain that looks like 2 humps because they said it would be epiccccccc, well it was it was indeeed, lemme just recant what the heck went down. ok first of all dont go on a hike at 3 in the fricken afternoon when the damn sun goes down at 5, ughhh that was suchhhh a dumb thing to do but ANYYWAYYYZZZZZZZZZZ we get to the favela and wait for the little volksvagen van to take us to the top winding up the hill up up up farther up until we get there,,, AND FIRST OF ALL IM GONNA KILL WHOEVER SAID IT WAS AN EASY ASS HIKE U STUPID IDIOTTTTTTT. okay so we get to where the hike starts which is like some ratchet jungle entrance behind this ratchet make shift house in the favela and we have to climb up the side of this wall okay then we get up to the trail and its jungle jungle jungle crazy plants everywhere getting in my face thank God for bug spray up up up up up rocks dirt trying not to slide or die the first thing i thought was like OH GODD HOW ARE WE GONNA DO THIS COMING DOWN, NO NO NO NO NO. okay well we keep going up its hard but thank God ive been keeping up with my cardio i didnt have to stop but for the sake of others we stopped but i kept telling myself you know we're racing against time here the sun goes down early we are cutting it close we need to get there ASAP so we can come down okay. Well we get to the top and the view is surreal of course i was in awe of how far up we were in reality to everything the whole beaches and coast and the lake we could see ALL of Rio. We had fun taking silly pictures of every nature yes even flashing the world, you're very welcome cariocas. K great it was like 5pm when after i had told everyone for the millionth time WE HAVE TO GET DOWNNN DAMMNITT because some parts of the jungle trail you couldnt even seee the rays of light coming in, it was that high and inpenetrable. So me and my friend decide to go first because honestly people were taking forever and my panic survival instinct kicked in and was like WE NEED TO GET DOWN AS FAST AS POSSIBLE BEFORE WE FRIECKEN ARE LEFT TO DIE HERE so we were even running down the path it was so scary not to mention the ratchet demon butterfly that popped out of nowhere that was GINORMOUS like probably as big as my hands, and i was like oh god are we even going the right way because the trail looked hella different than the other one,,,, welll IT WAS A DIFFERENT one, and then the scariest part was when we hit a fork in the road and could barely see and I was leading and i feel like God guided me to the left even though my friend said right, we kept going and thank God we started hearing the city buzz and could see some light posts in the distance through the thick brush of trees. Kept going not being able to decipher where exactly we were heading, the grace of God came through, i was so nervous i started praying outloud, "Lord deliver us like you delivered the Israelites from Egypt." A little bit further and somehow we made it out into this soccer field at the bottom of everything. I never felt more happy to be alive. The only thing was like where the heck are these girls, theyre fricken screwed because they were wayyyy behind us i literally was like theyre dead and i left them its my fault some of them even came on this hike what am i going to do. our phones didnt work of course in the middle of nowhere and so we decided to go hang out where we started the hike in case maybe they had come down that way instead, we waited, we chilled with these favela people that were having a mothers day bbq, and they even shared some of their foood with us, almost had no choice because they said please have some come on its disrespectful not to since we're offering it to you, so we did meanwhile trying to see if we could get some signal, finally after almost 40 min we got a text but it wasnt very helpful it just said did u guys already leave. so we left thanked the kind people for their food and went back to the soccer field, we didnt see them so we were like okay well probably started going down the favela, i dont know like maybe 10 minutes after going down we see all 5 of them chilling on the side of the road next to a liquor store kind of thing waiting for the bus to take them down, i was soooo RELIEVED oh lorddyyy they were all safeeee and sound!! we then continued to walk down alll the way down to the bottom and then catch the bus back to Copa, oh God i never thought id be as happy as that moment to sayy im glad to be back in Copacabana! Hope y'all had a nice Mother's day too.
