Celtic Pride

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 10:04:04 -0800

Just wanted to share with you this picture I took of “The Big Three” at the Garden last Wednesday. Celtics defeated a weak 76ers team in the final minute of the game on what I would call a very disappointing win on two days rest and at home (+ after beating the NY Knicks in OT).

Anyway, Go Celtics!!!

Fenway Park

Wether you’re a fan of baseball or not Fenway Park, the oldest baseball park (MLB) in the United States is definitely a place to visit if you visit Boston. I was disappointed the times I’ve gone to baseball games outside the Dominican Republic ... of course, that was before going to Fenway Park. Go Sox!

Good Bye College Park

Mon, 25 May 2009 06:52:20 -0700

This is the hardest part.

Two years ago when I decided to come here (at the moment I write, I’m in my last week in College Park, MD) I was very excited about starting this new experience. At the same time I was leaving my hometown, Santo Domingo, for the first time.

There’s no place like home but College Park made this transition easier than I though. The student life was something completely different to what I had experienced before (although I appreciate my days back home). I came here for my M.S. in Telecommunications but now I leave with lifetime memories and friends. These ‘two’ years here, have been simply incredible.

Enjoy this video I’ve made; I put a lot of work into it. See you in Boston, MA!!!

Next Stop: Boston, MA.

There are two BIG things happening right now. The first one is that three weeks from now I’ll be graduating. It will be the culmination of two wonderful years, my family is coming over so I’m very excited.

The second ... is that I got a job in Boston, MA. I’ll be moving there hopefully by early June. I was in Boston for my first time two weeks ago (for the on-site interview) and I loved the city. It’s a big city, not as crowded as NYC, it has its unique special touch, there are many universities in the area (Harvard, MIT, Northeastern University, Boston College, Boston University) and of course ... the Red Sox and Celtics which are my favorite teams.

I’ll keep you posted on this new stage of my life.

The City by the Bay: San Francisco

Thu, 26 Mar 2009 21:01:18 -0700

The views of the Bay, the cable cars, unique steep hills, Fisherman’s Wharf, Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz ... and the list goes on. I still haven’t been to other major cities like Chicago, Boston, Las Vegas, New Orleans or Seattle but San Francisco is my favorite thus far.

I take you back with me to San Francisco but in 7 minutes of six amazing days in this great city.

The Half Million Dollar Shot

Wed, 4 Mar 2009 14:03:52 -0800

If you have ever gone to a basketball game you may have always asked, why do I never get the change to be the lucky fan who gets picked to try the half court shot at halftime to win a car or some big money?

Getting that shot at once is nothing easy, in front of an 18,000 crowd, but just imagine that in top of that you are blind-folded? That was what happened Yesterday at Comcast Center, home of the Terps (University of Maryland) while I was at the game as we were playing Wake Forest. No, I was not the fan chosen but ... here’s the story.

Let me tell you that when I looked at that guy, I said ... “Nah, he’s not going to make it, even with his eyes open”. So I dediced to grab something to eat. When I was eating my sandwich, I heard this crazy cheer and I couldn’t believe it. Did he make it? That loud was the crowd ... this prank fooled more than one!

Snowboarding part 2

Mon, 2 Mar 2009 04:24:06 -0800

As promised ... we went Snowboarding again and now I feel like I can add snowboarding to my résumé, hehe, just a joke. This time we went to White Tail Resort in PA, just outside of MD.

Snowboarding

Sun, 1 Feb 2009 12:21:35 -0800

I’ve got a monkey off my back now. It’s not that I live in Utah or Colorado but wherever it drops below 20°F and snows you have to go skiing. As I reach the end of my certainty here in Maryland (three months) I couldn’t pass on this.

I’ve only see skiing and snowboarding in movies so ... just imaging how was excited I was about this. 176 miles away (McHenry, MD) from College Park there’s a nice Skiing resort in western Maryland, very close to the border of Pennyslvania and West Virginia; in fact anything sports related that I saw around belonged to the Steelers and Pirates.

I went for snowboarding and although I have to admit I need to go two or three more times to try more challenging trails/slopes it was very fun. I’d like to go one more time before the end of winter.

We Are One

Mon, 19 Jan 2009 15:08:24 -0800

Este va en español.

El próximo martes (mañana) es la toma de posesión de Obama, convirtiéndose en el presidente No. 44 de los Estados Unidos. La popularidad de Obama ha traído a la capital de USA cientos de miles de personas a presenciar las actividades de este evento histórico.

Ayer estuve en un concierto celebrado en el Lincoln Memorial al que asisitieron aproximadamente 300,000 personas. El concierto se denominó We Are One y dejare que Denzel Washington quién dio las palabras introductorias les explique (ver el video).
