Sunday January 2
Miami International Airport
First of all, I must say that saying bye to my mom at LAX was one of the hardest things so far. As the oldest and ONLY daughter, I feel responsible to stay close to home and be there for my mom. The decision to make this trip has been difficult for me because my mom recently lost her mommy and I felt guilty leaving momz so soon.
Eventhough I am frequently traveling, this time around was different because I will be in another country…..with people that she doesn’t know. (when I say other country, I simply mean, not Mexico. LOL)
Yes, I have been in Puerto Rico (PR), but since PR is part of the U.S. I was able to contact mami everyday through my cell which got reception in the island. In the Dominican Republic (DR) on the other hand, I won’t have this privilege, making communication between us more challenging.
Well, I don’t want to keep thinking about it because it brings my mood down. I know my mom is a strong woman and will eventually adjust to the change.
As for myself, I have been raised by a strong woman TO BE a strong woman, so even through the melancholy; I know that deep down, I GOT THIS!!
Nowwww to MIAMI!!
>>>When leaving LAX, the attendants announced the flight information…the word MIAMI sent chills down my spine and back up again dude….’oh my kitties’.
It was EXHILIRATING to think about being in MIAMI!
Growing up, I remember always watching shows that headquarters’ were anchored in MIAMI. More specifically, El Gordo y la Flaca, Sabado Gigante, Cristina, Despierta America and the list goes on. Miami is also the host to countless Latin Grammy’s, Premios Lo Nuestro and Premios Juventud. !!!!!! <<<exactly!!
I AM IN MIAMI TRICKKkkk!!
Slash, if the names above ring no bell to you, that’s because you probably don’t see channels 34, 46, or 52 aka the Spanish language channels on a daily basis. And that’s fineeee but basically in the Latino/a community Miami is definitely an important city in the development (and preservation) of our culture in this country.
The first thing I noticed and paid attention to in Miami was the accent of all the Spanish speaking gente (people). Their distinct Spanish accent has had me smiling since I got here! Oh mannnn I don’t even know how to explain it. Yes, I am a native Spanish speaker but the way I speak Spanish (or the dialect my ears are used to) comes from other regions of the hundred different Spanish speaking countries. I can definitely feel the strong Cuban community through my observations walking around the airport and small stores. I feel like a creeper paying close attention to the airport employees’ conversations between each other, but I am passionately interested in hearing their sexy as fuck Spanish accent!
Double –slash…while some of my MSI trained thinkers may perceive my interest as an exotification of the Cuban/Latino/a accent and may want to purple this posting, let me tell you that if you would hear them speak you would be thinking “dammmmnnn papi, your accent is sexy!”
Papi- noun. An attractive male. Most often used to describe guys of Latino descent. Pronounced ‘pah-pee’. It also means daddy. Or as Saude and I would say, Li-ddo Da-DDy!!
Interesting facts of the day!
Spanish (language)
In 1999, there were 358 million people speaking Spanish as a native language and a total of 417 million speakers worldwide. Currently these figures are up to 400 and 500 million people respectively. Spanish is the third most spoken language in the world, after Mandarin Chinese and English. But the second in the most widely spoken language in terms of native speakers (after Mandarin Chinese). Mexico has the largest Spanish speaking population followed by the US, Spain, and Colombia. Spanish is the official language in 20 countries as well as the United Nations and the European Union.
