New Year’s and New Technology

Hola hola! I can’t believe how much time passed since the last time I really blogged. And at the same time it went by so quick! The holidays were great but I was exhausted and then I got the January blues. I seem to get these blues a lot lately after family reunions, birthdays and such. So imagine how huge are the blues after the Holidays? Mayor family reunions almost everyday and celebrations?? But I’m much better now and keeping so busy. I have so many things to share and so many many photos of course.

I’ll start with our New Year’s celebration. We got together with 2 more families that we just met about a month ago here in San Diego. I went out dancing with new friends through a MeetUp group I joined and since that day 2 of the girls and me decided to get together for New Year’s cause neither of us had a plan.

I love how it all came about, we enjoyed our time and had a great New Year’s Eve, even my mom came and celebrated with us + both kids stayed up until midnight! Of course, after maybe 30 minutes they fell sleep on Derek’s arms 🙂

The technology part of this post is about Santa brought me; one of the gifts I wanted, an iPhone! I couldn’t even believe it! I was very impressed and surprised! I have never had one, I did have a smartphone, a Droid. I really like the Droid… really, all Google Apps in there are The Best! And it will take me a little bit to transition into the iPhone {the iPhone isn’t as great with Google, boo 🙁 }, but the iPhone, Oh the iPhone and it’s photographic capabilities are AMAZING.

I soon discovered that I didn’t get just a cell phone, I got a camera! A camera that has infinite editing and fun capabilities for me to play with and let my creativity flow in many new ways. I quickly signed up for Instagram and downloaded many photography Apps already. I didn’t know I can even make collages in there, add text, drawings, different effects AND share it with the world! If you have an instagram account, you can find me as darielacruz. I would love to follow you back!

All the pictures I took during New Year’s Eve were with the phone cause I am still very into it and learning everyday, but  don’t worry, I don’t think I’ll change my DSLR camera for this, it’s just another extra camera that I will add for now!

Hola, hola!! No puedo creer que haya pasado tanto tiempo desde la última ve que hice un post grande y al mismo tiempo pareciera que el tiempo pasó rapidísimo. Las Navidades fueron muy chéveres pero quedé cansada y después de que se acabó todo me dió un bajón post-navideño, parece que le llaman “January Blues”, lo cierto es que ultimamente me da eso después de las fiestas de cumpleaños y de reuniones familiares; después de que se acaban los extraño a todos. Pero ya me siento mejor y tengo muchísimas cosas pendientes y cosas por hacer, y porsupuesto más cosas que compartir.

Empezemos con el 31. Nos reunimos con otras 2 familias aquí en San Diego. Apenas conocí hace un mes a dos muchachas de un grupo MeetUp donde estoy metida y nos juntamos en esa ocación para ir a bailar, desde ese mismo día resulta que decidimos celebrar el 31 juntas con nuestras familias porque ninguna de las 3 tenía planes. 

Fué cheverísimo, la pasamos muy rico, mi mamá vino a celebrar con nosotros también. Los dos niños aguantaron hasta para dar el feliz año! Claro, que después de unos 30 minutos cayeron en los brazos de Derek!
