Classical Music Appreciation Day: Villa-Lobos and Chopin
I was starting to get bored of modern music. It was then when I remembered that I have a huge vinyl record collection. The FIU library was giving them away for free. Since I used to work in the library, I was allowed to take as many as I wanted, so I took the entire cart. It was quite the trip to lug so many records halfway across the school. It was a right place at the right time scenario. Anyhow, today I listed to two vinyl records, both sides of them. Each vinyl record can only fit about an...
What I ate Yesterday: Cheesecake Factory Foodie Review
It had been a while since I visited the Cheesecake Factory. The last time I went there was for my birthday. I like going there every once in a while. The one in Dadeland mall is a little bit far from my house. A good dessert is the only thing that lures me out of the house these days. In order to avoid waiting in line, we made a reservation. It didn’t cut that much on the wait time. To pass the time, I took some photos and videos of the scenery. I also photographed the place where they keep...
Artsy Sister's Top 5 Favorite Painters
Today, I wanted to write about my favorite painters. Every artist has a favorite painter or two. My favorite painters may not be the same as yours.

Margaritaville Universals City Walk Foodie Travel
This New Year we went to Universals Orlando. When night fell, we started to get particularly hungry. So, we went to the restaurant that mother suggested. She is partial for Margaritaville. The restaurant was naturally crowded, so we had to wait to get seated. I took a few photos of the interior décor. The place was themed after beach life. There was a section that had a lot of hanging shark statues. All those sharks are pretty common in the waters of South Florida. Once we were finally seated, we browsed through the menu. I was pleased by the...
Staybridge Suites Travel Tourism Review
I was up in Kissimmee with my family. We were going to Universal’s Orlando. Since we needed a place to stay, we chose Staybridge Suites. We had been staying in that hotel, since the 2000s. Back then, it had a different name and Jesters for decorations. It was interesting to see how much the place had changed. Other than removing the Jesters, the hotel was pretty much the same. We chose a two-bedroom suite. It came with a real fridge and a stove. It was the biggest apartment they had. It was worth 300 bucks a night. We only stayed...
