It' s was a fun birthday party.

Saboooor! with salsa.

Hi, Morena.

I'am waiting for my "nacatamal".

MAFALDA.

The comic series Mafalda is a singular phenomenon in

Latin America.

It was created by the Argentine cartoonist Quino

(the pseudonym of Joaquin Salvador)

Mafalda is obsessed with the bad shape the world is in;

she wants to be an ONU translator, and intends to defuse

conflicts by translating the ambassadors' insults into

innocuous statements.

SHE IS ALSO A BIG FAN OF THE BEATLES

(Even if she can't understand the words)

and a dutiful if sometimes sarcastic daughter.

Her one weakness is soup-- she holds a grudge against the Swiss

for having invented instant soup.

ANDREA BOCELLI.

Recorded live at Lake Las Vegas Resort.

Blind Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli is perhaps crossover classical's most successful performer. Since his 1992 duet with Italian pop-rock sensation Zucchero, Bocelli has had one foot firmly planted in the world of classical opera and the other in commercial pop. His soulful delivery has garnered praise from, among others, Luciano Pavarotti, and has graced numerous traditional opera recordings; however, he has also duetted with the likes of Celine Dion, Sarah Brightman, and AMERICAN IDOL runner-up Katherine McPhee. Bocelli has millions of fans, and is one of the most successful recording artists in the world.

My favorite singer.

Enjoy! Just for you!!!

BIKE EXPO PASADENA.

ADRIANA & EDWIN.

ROSE PARADE '08. PASADENA

People gazed in awe from sidewalks at the

spectacle featuring celebrities, marching bands,

equestrian units and floats with waterfalls and

flowery depictions of Elmo strumming a banjo,

tigers and a Honda pickup truck transforming

into a space craft.

Thousands of people who spent New Year's Eve camped

curbside in Pasadena were joined at dawn by giddy

visitors arriving by car, bus and train.

The city estimates more than a million people visit

Pasadena during the parade and Rose Bowl game festivities.

The 119th edition of the Tournament of Roses

began as sunshine bathed the 5½-mile parade route.

The dozens of floats were expected to take about two hours

to glide along Pasadena's main street.

This year's theme was

"Passport to the World's Celebrations."

Three military F-18 Hornet Flyover Navy USN jets
streaked over cheering spectators Tuesday
to kick off the New Year's Day procession of Rose Parade floats.

SALVADOR.

Thank you Salvadoran youth...
You really made us all angelenos with
Salvadoran descent very proud.
This is the kind of example we need.
I am impressed.
