Although I am not Mexican, I did grow up around the Mexican culture, it’s very similar to my Guatemalan culture. Growing up in California, I was exposed to this celebration yearly. I really enjoyed it, it had always been a very festive holiday. You would see colorful decorations all around, in school, shops, just about everywhere. There was music, dancing, costumes, parades, and a lot of tequila and beer hehe, the same in Los Angeles just on a much larger scale, specifically on Olvera Street in Los Angeles. Olvera Street get’s really packed on weekends if Cinco de Mayo falls on a weekend, during the week it’s a bit slower as any other major holiday. The food has always been so good. It’s one of my favorites! Cinco de Mayo is celebrated all over the United States, outside of the US apart from Mexico, I don’t know. I’ll leave you with a video, with some celebrating going on from a past Cinco de Mayo.
As for myself, the only celebrating I’ll be doing is at home. As it’s a weekday, and I don’t know anyone in Massachusetts apart from William and his family. So it’ll be us doing a little Cinco de Mayo celebrating here. Not much, but it’ll be fun. Mexican food and corona’s tonight woohoo!!! Anyway this is short and sweet, Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone, be safe and don’t drink/text and drive. I’ll leave you with another Cinco de Mayo video.
How does the weekend just fly by so quickly, gosh were not only on Monday, but in February as well. Wow hey? Ok so now all the Valentine stuff starts to happen, and a lot of people hate this time of the year, for many reasons. I think some because it’s overrated, others because they don’t have anyone special, and are jealous, a few well probably more than a few have someone, but that someone don’t really acknowledge what this day means for their loved ones. Well I hope they open up their eyes, and try to see it from the others point of view. I like to share my life to a certain extent on my blog, I think sure a blog you should talk about your life and whatever involves your life, but I feel that is really up to the author, that being me (Emily). And somethings I just like to keep to myself, as many others do. I have a special someone in my life, and I adore him, love him, he means so very much to me. With him it always feels that it is Valentine’s Day, I am blessed to be quite honest, not afraid to say that either. I remember when I was at my sisters house, how her partner would decorate some with Valentine’s stuff, I thought that was so cute. I would definitely do that, I’m really into the holidays and it’s always nice to be with someone that thinks similar, because when that happens, then it’s no surprise. I think I’ll change my theme for Valentine’s it’ll be fun.
