Nose piercing and a new love....

FOTOS: Top: Teatro Nacional in San Jose, my nephew Aaron at the Childrens Museum, Mural at LASP, view walking down the street to spanish classes at ICADS:: *********I tried to put them onto a slideshow on this blog, but it didnt work, so if you would like to see pictures from Costa Rica, look on flickr.com, in the box where it says search type in Laurita1986 (make sure you have selected people as the search field or nothing will come up) and then you should be able to see my pictures!********

October 5, 2008- Sunday!
Okay…so how do you like this title? Tell me, did it freak you out? =) Sorry to disappoint, but I am not the one who got my nose pierced. That would be my friend, Jasmín. =) Haha I had to make your heart race just a little bit at least! We hung out on Sunday afternoon/evening and I went with her to the mall so she could get her nose pierced. I can’t say I didn’t think about it, but when I watched them do it to her I thought, well, maybe not so much, even though she told me it didn’t hurt. =) We had a great time, then ate a delicious supper at Pollo Campero: we had the best ice cream I have had here so far: que rico!

He encontrado mi “otro mitad”
October 6, 2008-Monday!
Translation: “I have found my ‘other half’”: boy, I am just doing really well with freaking-you-out titles this week. =) Today Jasmín and I were hanging out again after ICADS (Spanish classes) and we decided to head to the market so I could buy some stuff for you people. =) We saw our Nicaraguan friend Donald again, so we caught up with him for a while because it had been a long time since we interviewed him! Then, I was looking at some stuff from another vendor, a young guy, and we were just talking prices and then he just apparently decided he wanted to flirt with me because I can speak Spanish. It was weird, I didn’t really know what to say, but it was hilarious. =) After I decided what to buy, he asked if I wanted to buy an Imperial (beer brand here) t-shirt, and I made some sarcastic or funny comment, I can’t really remember, and then he said “ahh, pienso que he encontrado mi otra mitad.” Jasmín and I just laughed, I mean, really hard, because I don’t think we really knew what else to do! Haha And then when he found out my name is Laura, he began singing this song that is very popular in Spanish, that goes, “Laura no está, Laura se fue, Laura se rompió mi corazón” (Laura’s not here, Laura left, Laura broke my heart). So, we walk past him as we are leaving the market, and he is singing this song to me. Sooo ridiculous! =) Hahaha We basically said, “Ciao amigo!” and we were gone…Qué lástima, I don’t even know his name, and unfortunately, he was not really that cute…=) Hahaha not to mention he was quite overly aggressive, so I think I’ll have to pass on that one…but Jasmín is wanting to go back to the market on Friday…ahh…so perhaps I’ll have another story to tell after then! =)
