<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Candela is an adorable 7-week old Shih Tzu born from Cuban/American parents by the name of Toki and Honey. She currently loves biting everything that crosses her path including but not limited to ears, 'chancletas' and hair. She left behind a brother and sister who are still looking for a loving family but Candela is very happy to be joining our crazy one. </span><br />

Well, although there were 4 very, very, very long days of work I had a blast! I was given the opportunity to manage all the photos being taken for our Public Relations Department meaning I got to work with two amazing photographers: Gregg Newton and Luiz Ribeiro.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From past internships and jobs I've always learned you have to make friends with the photographers and the production crew...not the celebrities. Usually the production crew is an amazing group of people that are just like you and are not being followed by a hairstylist, makeup artist, manager, etc. Also, the crew will usually help you out with any favors and know most about the production itself. Thanks to my amazing photographers here are a few unglamorous yet awesome moments at work!</span></div>

And let me tell you it felt like I was doing it all over again just watching it.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Skydiving is something that had always been on my bucket list so when my boyfriend said he was taking me to do it, I honestly thought he was joking at first. I knew he would never do it himself so I was surprised that he wanted to take me. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was an absolutely amazing experience and there really isn't any words that can describe how you feel falling from the sky...literally falling!! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm very glad I did because it's something that I thought was going to take me forever to do. You know, we're always waiting for the right time. But guess what? The right time is NOW! So if you have something you've always wanted to do...what are you waiting for? Just do it!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But I know you rather watch the video than be reading this so enjoy! :) </span></div>

<div style="font-family: arial;">
In honor of today's celebration: International Day of Happiness, I decided to make a list of 10 things that make me happy. Why? Lately, I've been watching the news and seeing so many people do bad things because they're not happy with their lives. </div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
Just this week my beautiful alma mater <a href="http://knightlynews.cos.ucf.edu/?p=17642">UCF</a> went through a terrible scare that had me stop and think for a bit. </div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
Life is not perfect. Then again if it was, it be a little too boring. We all have our ups and downs and times when we love waking up and others when we want to sleep in and never leave our room.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
Days like today though, when we're celebrating happiness, we should really stop to think what makes us happy. </div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
Why not write it down? Once I write this list, I can go back to it on days I feel a little blue and remind myself on why living is so important and why life, even at it's most imperfection, is still beautiful and filled with happiness.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
Here we go:</div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijhHlmxDm0Htb9MU1xD-ZNutqJItsN00IfC-KwPwqPnyqOCyXXLJgzaKxfNBh-zL7OWKWF9jrTdzySRyEgefL_CJJud8zdNIQcZxiwj5Y0pj_GMiLDpD2jWZB01wrh9wINjs4znyMFw2dn/s1600/PC230002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijhHlmxDm0Htb9MU1xD-ZNutqJItsN00IfC-KwPwqPnyqOCyXXLJgzaKxfNBh-zL7OWKWF9jrTdzySRyEgefL_CJJud8zdNIQcZxiwj5Y0pj_GMiLDpD2jWZB01wrh9wINjs4znyMFw2dn/s1600/PC230002.JPG" height="150" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
1. <b>Food makes me happy.</b> There's nothing better than getting home from a long day and have a warm plate of mom's food ready for you. If mom isn't there to cook, a delicious gooey pizza pie with Blue Bell neapolitan ice cream will do the trick! </div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
2. <b>Sleeping makes me happy.</b> And if it's in your own bed...even better. I've noticed that you could be sleeping at the nicest places in the world, but there's nothing like wrapping yourself up in your own cozy bed.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRQ1mfbXGNY5sL_OPbymlCRHx_zXIJzEpbDp8evCmiAB6PadLvxO8pepX2RqUKKRff2Qvr-H2hhFwHGHCcwv_cSf2pPOvpv8Q2-dlwEE5yhsulqe9IVVNQDvsUWVI1Mcvn2VkfsujHFa5o/s1600/P1012463_2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRQ1mfbXGNY5sL_OPbymlCRHx_zXIJzEpbDp8evCmiAB6PadLvxO8pepX2RqUKKRff2Qvr-H2hhFwHGHCcwv_cSf2pPOvpv8Q2-dlwEE5yhsulqe9IVVNQDvsUWVI1Mcvn2VkfsujHFa5o/s1600/P1012463_2.JPG" height="200" width="165" /></a>3. <b>Family makes me happy. </b>Even if they drive you insane about 95% of the time, you know that at the end of the day your family will be there supporting you and loving you. And don't think it has to be a big family, sometimes smaller families have a stronger bond.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
4. <b>Loving someone makes me happy.</b> This can be your friend, your boyfriend, your family or who ever. That moment when you unconditionally offer your heart to someone is simply an amazing feeling.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
5.<b> Being loved makes me happy. </b>It kinda sounds like the one above, but this time you're that special someone to that person. Again, this doesn't have to be a romantic feeling. You can be loved by your dad, your aunt, your professors and friends.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6AK5h0PPe_OhTJc4P8xfAkkYZGHgtpzItNT1kqcdI4i8OIUGO3oOmtJdaRABjHD03OluMZVxfOycu-R6FZ6aDTzSQzHNVe2y0DqYDesl9Gq0ukhuWZfY-9PxHOgiz4JyYdIYxFVSsHL5R/s1600/26499_1416510859267_1427478983_1138966_3156310_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6AK5h0PPe_OhTJc4P8xfAkkYZGHgtpzItNT1kqcdI4i8OIUGO3oOmtJdaRABjHD03OluMZVxfOycu-R6FZ6aDTzSQzHNVe2y0DqYDesl9Gq0ukhuWZfY-9PxHOgiz4JyYdIYxFVSsHL5R/s1600/26499_1416510859267_1427478983_1138966_3156310_n.jpg" height="200" width="143" /></a>6. <b>Learning new things makes me happy.</b> Finding out that I don't know something is the best adrenaline rush I can get (unless is how to solve a math problem or do my taxes, that I'll skip). I constantly try to learn new things because my philosophies are: 1) It's not like your brain has an "only fill up to here ^" and 2) You never know what you don't know until you don't know it. </div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
7. <b>Helping others makes me happy.</b> As cliche as it may sound, helping others really does make me happy. Do I help everyone out? No. I try to help those who seek help and need help and especially those who are appreciative of your help. And this doesn't have to be financially, you'd be surprised how much you can help a person by just talking to them or listening.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
8. <b>Dancing makes me happy.</b> Anyone who knows me has realized that I can't stand/sit still when music touches my ears. It may be the Latina blood burning inside that makes me swing from side to side or at least bop my feet if I must remain subtle.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZGFeQZTFFgbVRcvd-QaMY89cPi7zZQBmdy4WtR69zqxfeCxPkOnSQAsXU3K2ELj87jn-jC5rzBWZhr82JqdpKo6iZUGDSJwY-lOEO758y9GfmBazTguyq2dG43DByBD25PcBYWPpJ0Ycm/s1600/P1012367.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZGFeQZTFFgbVRcvd-QaMY89cPi7zZQBmdy4WtR69zqxfeCxPkOnSQAsXU3K2ELj87jn-jC5rzBWZhr82JqdpKo6iZUGDSJwY-lOEO758y9GfmBazTguyq2dG43DByBD25PcBYWPpJ0Ycm/s1600/P1012367.JPG" height="150" width="200" /></a>9. <b>Traveling makes me happy.</b> This kinda ties in to some of the things above, because when I travel I get to check things off this list. There's so much more to this world than the fenced backyard we see when we wake up or the same people we greet at work. The whole world is our backyard and we should try to greet everyone who lives in it.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
10. <b>Finding my purpose in life will make me happy. </b>BAM! So this one a tough one because I'm still trying to figure that out, however, I know that if I attempt to include the above items on my everyday life, finding my purpose in life will be one happy journey!</div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf_EJ40AUgb0r32nZr0guTCNSVhAazkKNV1gF3hLyHYi7s7ip4nxdJtJ52TPYNAOfqrz6joQvN1xYSH29xUoTx1NgNTZjtCPuD7jvJE6Hlt9KzhZQhBH4EPvkxyQWnSSjZpFsdBANdgv2m/s1600/58948_434355592033_2462089_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf_EJ40AUgb0r32nZr0guTCNSVhAazkKNV1gF3hLyHYi7s7ip4nxdJtJ52TPYNAOfqrz6joQvN1xYSH29xUoTx1NgNTZjtCPuD7jvJE6Hlt9KzhZQhBH4EPvkxyQWnSSjZpFsdBANdgv2m/s1600/58948_434355592033_2462089_n.jpg" height="171" width="200" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial;">Now it's your turn to make a list! If what you're doing right now isn't helping you check off items of that list everyday, think about what you can do to make your life a little happier. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial;">Don't forget to smile...it's contagious!</span><br />

<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's funny how I decided to write this post after watching a Full House episode last night. (Yes, I still watch Full House because it's awesome!) In the show young Stephanie wanted to ride with two immature high school boys and TJ, the older sister didn't let her go saying it was unsafe. After Steph's friend gets in a car crash with the boys, she realizes her older sister was right and asks her how'd she know getting in that car was a bad idea. TJ's response? "You know that little voice inside of you? As you're growing up, if you're lucky, you'll learn to listen to it!"</span></div>
<div class="im" style="background-color: white;">
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioXBIGFtQU0SylH9E6NUJCfQuadAEnjvJ-ugqWaYRMwgd-zIw4982t5GTXY0PFerOi0RQC0M9Bu9NMIF9cV_2QKBne0AfxLDAno9vlQHKp2iDDJSc30RSvNltFRSYTFzw-99Jl2n-VAswJ/s1600/love-yourself-poster.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioXBIGFtQU0SylH9E6NUJCfQuadAEnjvJ-ugqWaYRMwgd-zIw4982t5GTXY0PFerOi0RQC0M9Bu9NMIF9cV_2QKBne0AfxLDAno9vlQHKp2iDDJSc30RSvNltFRSYTFzw-99Jl2n-VAswJ/s1600/love-yourself-poster.jpg" height="228" title="" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can tell you that as I'm growing up, I'm really learning to listen to that <b>little voice</b> and I want to make sure that you are too. This "growing-up" stage of our lives is extremely fun and exciting but it's also a stage where you have to be very careful and aware. You know what? At any stage of your life I think you have to keep those eyes and ears wide open. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You see, everyday you're meeting new people, finding new opportunities and discovering new things about this world we live in. You constantly find yourself in different situations and most of these will be good but a few can be bad. How can you tell them apart? You listen to that little voice inside! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgCKIOWPKTVsldjnYx4QP96N0Sq2i_4zJhKUbNX1sHHBISm8h1-5sfIGG2ka9JidGewXcKQ-5d_ZwFEbgHcJY58UN_HZXIWgjKeyhyaa5wDbPcRuKJMpis_bnRBbwJN98XIMUjI6-rLvVv/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-03-19+at+5.34.59+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgCKIOWPKTVsldjnYx4QP96N0Sq2i_4zJhKUbNX1sHHBISm8h1-5sfIGG2ka9JidGewXcKQ-5d_ZwFEbgHcJY58UN_HZXIWgjKeyhyaa5wDbPcRuKJMpis_bnRBbwJN98XIMUjI6-rLvVv/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-03-19+at+5.34.59+PM.png" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Usually you will hear that little voice loud and clear screaming: "Paula! Get out of there! Are you nuts?" The problem begins when that little voice is telling you: "Paula this isn't such a good idea," but you think that little voice is wrong. It happens to all of us at some point in life depending on what situation we're in. You think you might miss out on a bigger opportunity, make a mistake if you walk away or even scared that you might burn a bridge. So far my friends, my experience or lack of has taught me that the little voice is ALWAYS right! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Don't let pressure from yourself or others get you into anything you feel isn't right. Don't associate yourself with people that you know don't have the best interest. And don't let anyone or anything dictate what you can or can't do. </span></div>
<div class="im adL" style="background-color: white;">
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the contrary, find great places where you can grow professionally and personally. Get yourself into situations that will challenge you and help you reach your goals. Surround yourself with mentors, friends and family who will guide you, support you and love you because they want to see you shine. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But most importantly, <i>listen to that little voice inside of you, it's always right! </i></span></div>

I got the privilege to do so because I was the recipient of the <i>2012 Young Leader Award</i>, something I hold very near to my heart. I also wanted to continue recognizing Hispanic women who made a difference in our community. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Back to the real purpose of my post "Say yes to the dress...or else!", I noticed that many, many, many people loved the dress I wore to the gala, including myself. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It wouldn't be fair to not tell you the story behind this beautiful and elegant dress, plus the very special person who allowed me to wear it and actually help me get in it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You see...this magical pink dress that had me feeling like a total princess was worn originally by my own "mujer destacada": My Mom! This was the very dress my mom wore during her prom at Colegio San Antonio in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico back in 1976 (I'm going to hear it now after giving out her age!) </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I actually wanted to wear this dress for my own prom in 2008 (oh wow I feel old now) but I didn't fit into it. You could imagine what my mom said: "Tu viste, en aquellos tiempos yo era alguien!" ('You see during those times, I was actually someone') </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Little did she or I know that I would have the opportunity to wear this dress a couple of years later. I have to admit, I needed her help to zip it up because man, my mom was a <b>hot</b> skinny momma! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The most important thing to me though was being able to wear this beautiful dress with my mom right by my side. She wore her dress next to my grandfather and I wore it next to her!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thank you mom for not only allowing me to wear your dress, but for being the mother that you are! I love you! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But I think I wore the dress best! :P</span></div>

My only guess is curiosity sparked once I started posting pictures of myself with my Disney friends on my </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/PaulaMachadotv"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Facebook Page</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. And by Disney friends I mean Mickey, Minnie, Donald, you know, the big guys in the bizz. lol So I went back and looked at my page, then I thought: "Wow my job looks AWESOME!!!"</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I mean, who can say PART of their job is to meet and take pictures with the stars who make Disney magic real? But like I just said, this is only part of my job. You could say it's the glamourous side of it. </span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The part you don't see on Facebook is that all of these pictures are taken before even parks open in the early morning. In Florida summer, this means humidity at its finest (for us ladies, it means: AAAAHHH!!!!) </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With that being said, I ask you to take a second look at these pictures and notice what I now call my "Disney bun" style (you can find it in all different ways. Maybe I should start a Pinterest board). lol In other words, it's the only style in which I can somehow manage my morning Mufasa hair. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-muWT1J0_Paoqug1omjHiEYdYmWcVlB130qAI95h7SWEezZ3t-PKYVm_68cwo-VIeGjT4cRrlK8WKCbMCPYaPDqVJZYSSQYsysA2Xdtr7FVdok5TO8K5stLf3lsY3gj9_DIw9rys3pF7X/s1600/IMG_20120829_134626.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-muWT1J0_Paoqug1omjHiEYdYmWcVlB130qAI95h7SWEezZ3t-PKYVm_68cwo-VIeGjT4cRrlK8WKCbMCPYaPDqVJZYSSQYsysA2Xdtr7FVdok5TO8K5stLf3lsY3gj9_DIw9rys3pF7X/s200/IMG_20120829_134626.jpg" width="200" /></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But going back to the part of my job that you don't see is that I get to meet these characters because I'm usually working on TV show productions or photo shoots that are done very early in the morning and sometimes take long-hour days and weekends to produce. If you saw the amount of hard work and dedication that go into all of these you'd be impressed. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia8GTyyoufOuDIBfMwf2BYjSAoFioIFf4af0nOYh1akkfQ0zzLS2czlAVVG1IcCF3ycDyA5rbCeO-jGCRHwy1xh3ea5hsWhfYt0k3es2nv_-nvE0vue3lBtVqwZlx1Ma13cNkwg_HDbeaA/s1600/382422_10151235114487034_713002210_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia8GTyyoufOuDIBfMwf2BYjSAoFioIFf4af0nOYh1akkfQ0zzLS2czlAVVG1IcCF3ycDyA5rbCeO-jGCRHwy1xh3ea5hsWhfYt0k3es2nv_-nvE0vue3lBtVqwZlx1Ma13cNkwg_HDbeaA/s200/382422_10151235114487034_713002210_n.jpg" width="119" /></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But all of the hard work that at least I put into each of my projects is very much worth every minute of my time. The people I have met in the little time I've worked here have been some of the most awesome people ever, and they come from all over the world and from all different backgrounds. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I guess the point I'm trying to make is that if you really enjoy what you're doing every day, it doesn't really seem like it's work (of course, working at Disney sure helps a lot). But find that one thing you love to do and give it your 110%. I promise you, all the time and effort you put into it will seem like you're just having a blast. Maybe your thing is teaching, or solving cases, or even playing music for a living. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All I'm saying is forget about what every one else is up to and concentrate on enjoying what you do. In the end, the only person you need to make happy is yourself and only YOU can do that. :)</span><br />

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After 4 years of studying broadcasting journalism and spending endless days and nights at local TV stations during my internships, a few months ago I decided I wanted to make magic. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxxB2tDmFukpvPOPMFCmGk0nTb3pmLHcH0zjHMZLFFzRvJH1SduD0z1eZx_baaPOrJ0QHtA5UX77c_JEmMMrk2UZfpYv5ywmSKgvC6ZCOc2NG9r8D0BzKGlzbcM3PGulHHlcjLfM6Efub8/s1600/IMAG1760.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxxB2tDmFukpvPOPMFCmGk0nTb3pmLHcH0zjHMZLFFzRvJH1SduD0z1eZx_baaPOrJ0QHtA5UX77c_JEmMMrk2UZfpYv5ywmSKgvC6ZCOc2NG9r8D0BzKGlzbcM3PGulHHlcjLfM6Efub8/s320/IMAG1760.jpg" width="240" /></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This has probably been one of the hardest decisions I have ever made so far, leaving behind my journalism world filled with breaking news, deadlines, and internships and coming to work for a mouse. (I promise I will soon write in more detail how all of this happened...I'm telling you it wasn't easy)</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's been almost three weeks since I started my professional internship at Walt Disney World Public Relations, and so far I've loved every single minute of it, but today, it was something beyond special.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was called in first thing in the morning to a shoot at Magic Kingdom for the new Dumbo ride where I spent 4 hours in 95+ weather helping a photographer capture the "perfect shot" of the flying elephants. Not the most magical morning so far.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My fellow cast-member then asked me if I could help her out at a second shoot also in Magic Kingdom in the afternoon and despite my hot and sweaty morning I was ready for the second part of the day. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Boy was I not expecting this truly magical afternoon... </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sally and Louis have come to Walt Disney World to celebrate their 61st wedding anniversary which happens to be on the 4th of july. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I asked Louis, who is 93 and a WWII veteran, about his festive wedding date a huge smile came across his face and he responded: "We started our marriage with a BANG!" </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With the help of all of our teams we were honored to have Louis as our special guest in lowering the flag at Liberty Square in Magic Kingdom. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You could just see the smiles and tears coming from both Sally and her daughters who proudly watched Louis carry the American flag. (I had to hold some tears myself).</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We also gave the cute couple a matching bride-and-groom mouse ears for them to wear once they return to Disney on Wednesday to celebrate their anniversary.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When one of the daughters came up to me and said how special we had made them feel today my heart simply filled with joy. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Watching this couple still celebrate their love after 61 years was absolutely magical...and I helped create that magical memory at Disney today! </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was then when I realized...It's not just Tinkerbell who can sprinkle some <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: magenta;"><b>pixie dust</b></span></span></i>. :)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">Ok, so tonight was not a very active night for me having to babysit for almost 7 hours, two boys who had to be in bed by 8. What did that leave me to do until past midnight? Watch episodes of "Law and Order" and "Millionaire Matchmaker" for 4 consecutive hours. (I know, nice duet of shows). But, I must say I learned something new tonight, this time from my dear friend Patti. The advice? I must now smell like a delicious<b> </b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ff6600;"><b>freshly baked pumpkin pie</b></span></span> with a ball of <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6600cc;">lavender ice cream</span></b></span> slapped on top. (Do they even sell this "aroma" at the Macy's counter? I bet Bath and Body Works has it!) I thought this was quite odd but I did my research and turns out that these smells are quite a turn on for men. Other WEIRD smells guys are "aroused" by are those of <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">doughnuts</span></b>, <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">cinnamon buns </span></b>and <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">licorice</span></b>. I guess those darn 500 calorie Cinnabons do have a purpose in life, eating them is not one of them!! </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">Anyways, I think next time you should take your guy on a date to your local Krispy Kreme and test this out. Just make sure that <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">"HOT NOW"</span></span></b> red light doesn't turn on because of you guys. ;) Now I'm hungry!! </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Muchos pueden pensar que ya las Navidades acabaron, pero para una islita en el Caribe, aún las luces de navidad siguen prendidas y el arbolito en pie. Hoy 9 de enero comienza la tradición puertorriqueña de las Octavas y las Octavitas. Está tradición supone seguir celebrando 14 días más después del día de los Tres Reyes Magos. En los tiempos de antes cuando nuestros abuelitos eran pequeños, las octavas y octavitas llevaban un significado más religioso. Hoy en día, esta tradición se utiliza para aquellos que se les llevó una parranda durante las navidades pero no estaban en casa. Durante las Octavas y Octavitas, esas personas que no estaban en casa deben ahora llevar la parranda a casa de sus amistades. Y ¿qué es una parranda? Mira mi reportaje especial de Navidad y ahí aprenderás un poquito más acerca de nuestras tradiciones puertorriqueñas. A sacar el coquito!!! :)</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">

<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Ok, so this song has been going around since mid November last year but I just heard about it now. It's kinda weird to say that my brother was the one who actually told me about this song, but hey, you get good information from everyone these days. I actually really like this song and I'm so glad Christina is back to the recording studios because this girl just has an amazing voice. The music video has not come out yet, but I will try to put it on here when it does! Enjoy the song behind your castle walls and tell me what you think.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">You can say all you want, but I know that your behind was either comfortably placed in your sofa or bed and your eyes were glued to the TV at precisely 9:59pm anxiously waiting for the premiere of Jersey Shore's season 3. And let's not forget those who where already glued to the TV hours before watching the marathon because they had missed some of the episodes last season *cough*me*cough*. But you know what? I will say it loud and proud "I am a Jersey Shore fan", but I guess I don't need to announce it because anyone who knows me, would know I am, and if you didn't just look at who I dressed as this Halloween. Now, what is it that Jersey Shore has that is just impossible to not like or watch? I mean my mother today was actually excited to watch the premiere and see who this new "esnooki gemela" was. Is it the fact that the girls solve problems with repeating the fact that they are all bitches? Is it that boys secretly wish they could always have t-shirt time? Or the fact that you could describe all your feelings by just saying "waaaaah"? What ever the reason is, this show seems to be getting a lot of fans (some like my mother) and no matter how much it is being criticized, the show is fist pumping! Now I would like to know, why do YOU like Jersey Shore? Enjoy my "chonga" version of Snookie :)</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">

Y es que el programa especial navideño del canal hispano Univisión, fue grabado en el mágico mundo de Disney con nada más y nada menos que “La Mujer de Fuego”. Así es, Olga Tañón con su gran sonrisa y contagiosa energía, recibió a los invitados que participaron como audiencia para su grabación del especial navideño dirigido por Emilio Estefán, que también hizo acto de precensia y saludó a los fans.</span></span></span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height: 17px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; margin-left: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in; "><span class="ecxApple-tab-span" style="line-height: 17px; white-space: pre; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"> </span></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">El tema al parecer de Univisión este año es “cumplir tus sueños” y por eso el sueño de un niño para las navidades se hizo realidad. El sueño del jóven fue que su madre conociera a Olga Tañon, pero nadie se espero que nuestra “Mujer del Fuego” nos tuviera otra sorpresa. La audiencia no tan solo gozó de un espectáculo navideño grabado, si no de también cantar en coro con Olga los famosos aguinaldos puertorriqueños.</span></span></span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height: 17px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; margin-left: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Para cerrar la larga y calurosa noche con broche de oro, Samo, integrante del grupo musical Camila, acompañó a Olga en el escenario para cantar su nuevo sencillo “Ni una lágrima más”, un dueto sencillamente escalofriante </span></span></span><span style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"> </span></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">y espectacular.</span></span></span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height: 17px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; margin-left: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"></span></span></span><span style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-tab-span" style="line-height: 17px; white-space: pre; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"> </span></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"> </span></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Ambos artistas se comportaron como verdaderas celebridades, tomándose fotos con el público y agradecidos por nuestra participación.</span></span></span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height: 17px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; margin-left: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">El 12 de diciembre no se podrán perder el especial navideño de Univisión ya que a lo mejor me verán bailando y gozando al ritmo del “trukuta trukuta” en la audiencia.
