Animals are your friends.

Happy late Thanksgiving my fellow Americans!

It's so weird but then again not really being in a country where Thanksgiving is not Thanksgiving.

Being from Peru, Thanksgiving was just as exciting as it is here in Canada.

But we would still eat turkey because we lived in the states.

Unless it was one of my Vegetarian phases.

I'm very animal friendly. VERY.  Like SUPER.

I admit I eat meat most days, and I wish I didn't. It's a terrible addiction...

This real meat dress makes me want to put Lady Gaga in the oven and never open it again.

Sorry.

Let me just say that this is a cow:

A happy one. Most cows are pretty content.

Well, this is one of the bones inside a cow:

Pretty boney right? Well did you know.... these bones are crushed to make this:

Sugar. Yes sugar.

So sad.

Well let me also say that today I got my first package!! Yay!!

Me and Betse received ours at the same time!! It was definitely a mini Christmas Day.

Eric delivered them and we were SO HAPPY. SO.

Betse got a sweet chocolate countdown calendar and I got one of my coats from home with some snacks.

And.. 

a random orange scarf.

Don't know why. Kinda confused. Thanks mom. 

It's actually the most exciting thing that happens in our apartment.

We're going grocery shopping in a bit. I need a few things:

1. (speak of the devil) Meat.

2. Potatoes.

3. Biscuit dough.

5. Tuna.

7. Sweet potato.

8. Milk.

I hate grocery shopping. HATE.

But this is cool. I don't hate this. So far. Me and Betse girl are going to find a sweet psychic lady.

Chau!

P.s

Did you know octopuses have 3 hearts?

Me either.

Holiday Season!

It Christmas almost!

So 

So

So

WEIRD!

Already...

I haven't left my apartment all day and feel exactly like I haven't left.

These potatoes and sweet potatoes were smokin'. Literally. STEAM. I ate the whole thing.

...

I have made my Christmas list out of complete boredness today.

If for any case all these things are not able to make all my wishes come true,

I always have half birthdays, birthdays, new years, holidays; for more chances.

Right?

Awesome!cool!I'm bored!

JENNA MARBLES! new video today! I found her about last month sometime and I have seen every video she has posted. If you don't already know who she is, please youtube her. I love her.

I actually will watch her new video right after this.
I need to get out. I have been watching a little too much of Criminal Minds and it's freaking me out.
I've also been meaning to make a "suckiest jokes ever made" list. But I'm not there yet.

P.s
I forgot this on my list

My very own armadillo bag.
Chau!

Drink that.

This week has been the laziest week ever.

It should have been named the year's laziest week.

I honestly worked 3 days for like an hour each day. It was awesome except I got overly bored.

I went to the Santa Claus parade...

"Toronto's huge thing"

Right...

I was so excited until it started. I have never seen so many clowns in my life.

It was sickening.

A few of us left early since we were freezing and there was nothing santa clausy about it.

Anywho, my abs are sick. 

Like not this kinda sick,

I wish. Except I'm not a man. But I mean like this kind,

They hurt. A lot. Not a good hurt. A bad hurt. Really bad. I iced them today and hopefully they will get better ASAP.

P.s I LOVE spanish web :)

It's tough (for me) but its way super way super way way super super fun.

Training for this is what killed my abs.

Alright so I discovered turtles can get this big.

Did you know that?? Holy geez luis! They're like freakin dinosaurs!!

I like it. But its kinda scary. WORK.

Well besides my boredom this week, it's been a fun time with all our cast. I'm too excited for the ship already. I had a dream we were on. And this winter could not go by any slower. It gets colder every day yet it still hasn't snowed. 

Side note:

I don't feel like cooking anymore. It was fun for like a day... and now its not. But I have no money to eat out so I have to cook sometimes. If that's not bad enough, I dont even feel like feeding myself anymore. I love food and the taste of food but its such a hassle.. argh.

Quote of the week?

"RIDE THAT SWAN"

I took this picture at the parade. This lady is literally riding this swan. Yes? Yes.

Most random parade ever. Fun fun times.

Oh and we did ZUMBA today! I love it, it's so much fun and everyone here loves it too. Alyssa my roommate taught the class and she's super good :)

By the way, today also we watched
1. Criminal Minds
2. The First 48
3. Law & Order

So freaky!! But super good shows!

Side note again:
 I love Disney. I love people. I love the world. 

I'm really glad I'm out of "my home world" for a while.

I'm still really young but I couldn't have left at a better time. Theres so much going on in peoples lives everyday and getting a break from everything and working with such amazing people, its the best thing ever.

Chau!

Second Time.

Alright peeps so I did go to the gym so I wanted to share some stuff. I am thee best at giving up when I work out. Like pro.

I would do this.

So after being on the elliptical machine for 15 long minutes I lifted a few weights and stretched.

Maleah took this picture of me because we were that bored.

 We left shortly after.

Fail.

So I decided my last post was super boring and short. I haven't done much since then besides cleaned. And I ate and watched some TV.

Hopefully it did not look like this. I just had some Nutella and apples. MMM :)

Its like that hot and cold thing because its healthy but at the same time its not..

3 hours later...

Alright so I just totally left this open and forgot about you. Sorry!

Betse distracted me and we went and got yummy ice cream from 

"Cool Hand Luc"

Luc is the owner. We met him. He's hot. Good thing we looked like shiz after not doing anything all day... We're going back sometime again. I got mint my favorite ever. 

(this picture is literally from their store)

Anyways again, just quick random thing I thought to ask you. 

Have you ever seen Paula Deen blink?

Me either.

She obviously does not like to shut her eyes.

Nope.

I don't know what her problem is.

Okay well I have a story. Or maybe a confession. Who really knows? I don't. Well you see, these little babies:

Those are a lot. Does anyone even know how to play with these? I doubt it... The only time I came close to knowing how to play with marbles is when I read "Time for Andrew" a "ghost story". By Mary Downing Hahn. I love her. Basically whoever invented these, I might love you but then not really. I probably had a few in my life laying around my house. Don't ask me where they came from. Anyways, I think they're a cool thing because they look pretty fancy and kids can swallow them so maybe that's not cool at all... So be careful :)

Alright bye!!

Off Early :)

Hey Hey Hey!!

Alright so I honestly sometimes don't even know what to tell you anymore. So much happens and I can't have the longest blog posts in the world. But I'll just keep saying that I love being here!

Just so you're not confused of this current moment, I'm eating a cucumber.

And it looks like this because I think that in the 60's, cucumbers were pretty good too.

I have to keep eating super healthy because my body will die slowly if I don't.

Today was awesome. I have 3 hours of rehearsals so now i'm home eating and will soon go to the gym and from there is a mystery :)

What the?...

Anyways, we just got done with our 2 days off and back to rehearsals! Yay! So what did we do the past 2 days? Well, they were super fun. It was Caitlin's Birthday Bash here at our place in the "party room" :)

These gorgeous girls are my fabulous roommates. Alyssa, Clara, me, and Betse. I love these girls, we get along so well and living in our apartment is just so fun :)

(notice my new shoes?)

..
U

Unfortunately I didn't bring my camera this night BUT I did go to best buy and get a thing to upload my pics here from my camera! woo!

 Here are a few pictures of our city tour given by our Toronto local from our cast :)

Santa!

 Sweet super old buildings!

Another super old cool sweet looking building!

Oh this is some of our cast by the way :)

Dream 3!

Alright Chau!

Yet Another Canadian Night

I'm blogging in the morning. at 9am. Why am I up? No idea.. I didn't even have to wake up until 10 today so I was so happy I could sleep in and this happens. I've had pretty crappy sleep tonight. So I feel like this picture pretty much.

Anyways!! 

Last night a bunch of us went out for dinner and drinks. I have not laughed that hard since I've been here.

I love EVERYONE! Really I do. And I've only been here a week. TODAY! Happy one week for me!

We love beer moustaches.

Alright so the other night, I went out on my own. In the big city. Not a big deal right? It kinda was for me since I'm from a small city and only 18. So I was just ready every second to attack anyone that got close to me. Not really but really at the same time. Yup. Anyways, I hadn't shopped shopped since I was in Utah so I had to buy something that made me feel better. I bought a pen and some socks, didn't wanna get too much since I was walking. It was only like 8ish but a lot of stores were closed.

I took this with my Ipod as I approached one of the happiest stores that exist. 

ALDO.

After literally 30 seconds in the store I fell in love.

with these.

Real pony hair. Sad? Completely. Hot? Oh yeah.

The world suddenly disappeared and it was just the shoes and I...

Saying "buy meee!!"

It's like putting raw meat in front of a lion and telling it not to touch it. Are you kidding? These shoes are now mine :) see!

You can't appreciate them with my Ipod cam much.. Dang you real camera! I still don't have the USB thing.

Anyways, I love them. When will I wear these 6 inch heels? Who knows, who cares. I love them!

Today It's 7 degrees C. That's pretty cold. But comparing to Russia that gets in the negatives... I'm pretty content with where I am :)

Alright besides that it gets super cold here, I love Anne Taintor.

Chau!

Down to business

Hey!!

Alright so it's day number 4!! I'm currently in my bed. With my roommate a few feet away on her bed.

I honestly love Toronto, Disney, and my apartment.

Did I mention I work for DISNEY???!

Heck yes.

Also, did I mention I'm in CANADA???!

Haha.

Everything here is so chill. A little too chill. (Literally.. its freezing)

Welcome to the world of:

1. Adulthood.

2. Swear words.

3. Alcohol.

4. Independence

5. Downtown

6. Roommates

7. Disney

What I'm trying to say is, this is the opposite of my whole past life. In Utah.

I have made the decision to not raise my kids in Utah...

Protecting Vs. Sheltering

It's good to be away from "bad" things. Right? Of course. But what do you do when you have only been surrounded by people like you and suddenly enter the real world? It's not good at all.

Here are my believes,

1. God.

2. Fate.

I am so fatefull. If that's even a word whatever. Haha. So yeah. I believe that I was meant to be born somewhere else but ended up being in Utah. I love Utah and all my friends and family... But I really think that was a problem with me. It's not like I share my life with the world but I wasn't the happiest child. Ever. Okay maybe just for a little while. So maybe that's why I'm so crazy. Just a little ;) haha. So I feel like the more I grow, I'm finding my place in life. Where I wanna how, how I wanna get there, and when I will.

Here is a picture of the first plate of "real food" I cooked being on my own.

Pretty good eh? Yeah what the picture doesn't show is the taste. I gotta go get some seasoning. But I'm surviving :)

The other night me and my awesome roommates went and did hot yoga. Not as in "sexy" yoga but as in "over 100 degrees" yoga. Yeah as if yoga alone doesn't make you sweat enough. It looks like this.

Except this isn't us and the room was dark (it was night time) and super steamy. I was literally sweating more than Zac Efron playing bball in HSM.

It was gross. But awesome. We're going again. Anyways, rehearsals are fun. I'm can't tell you much about it because I'm not allowed. But we're working out butts off and will take more pictures soon.

Here's me in this big city!

P.s I love accents. LOVE.

chau!

P.s.s If you're reading this and are my friend, and would like to go on the Disney Cruise from now until next July, I can hook you up. Literally. If I didn't want you to ask me, I wouldn't tell you. So that's it!

Chau!
