One of Yenny’s friend’s Hector ( which you prpbably remember from my Fish and Wine Post) was celebrating his birthday. Ready to start the festivities today my posts wil be broken down into two. Day time and night time. This one would be short, I promise.

We walked into a small japanese/dominican styled restaurant named YAO.

I didn’t know what to order so I ended up ordering whatever I thought had the most meat in it. I’m a crazy carnivore. All of Yenny’s coworker friends ordered a Sangria for the table. It was the brightest green I’ve ever seen any sangria be, let alone any drink.

It was good though, not something that I would usually order, but good non the less. I loved the pineapple on top. I had already met Claudia and her husband Hector, so I was already in comfort when meeting Ricardo and JuanDa ( I think his name is hilarious bc they call him that for short, when his name is Juan Daniel) Everyone is super awesome and hilarious.

Sometimes I get stuck on my spanish, and catch myself really quick.

We’re going dancing!

I love to dance sooooo much. Yet, I never really go anywhere. I’m not a night club person like I used to be, but I miss the dancing so much. Especially since I only really like dancing to Spanish music and don’t have a group of friends who are into it like I am. I think when I get back to NYC I’m gonna have to start making some dominican friends!

Today was fun. I spent the day roaming arounsd stores with my cousin Yenny, and once nightime rolled around. It got better. Lately I’ve been watching Glee, and I now got her and her son Victor addicted. We were hanging out in bed watching tv when we heard all the rain come out of nowhere and I insisted we go outside to run around in it. My baby cousin Ashley joined in, and was the only one to get her hair wet.

Hey, I finally just did mine.. I want to keep it that way for a little while longer. I threw on a shower cap and we got to playing outside, It was amazing and coooooold!After our shower… hahaha we got ready to go to family’s house. We were headed to my Uncle Netty’s house, where my cousin Enetico was gonna be cooking for everyone, while they all watched the Licey game.

They’re addicted I tell you!Enetico hard at work.My family are BIG drinkers.  So most of the time theyre offering me drinks and I’m refusing left and right. They’re more beer and liquor. Sometimes I don’t mind it. Hey, I used to drink aaaaaaalot when I was about 19 through my 20 somethings. (which I still am in my 2o somethings) But I’ve learned to moderate, especially because of a black out session I once had.

So this time, I brung my bottle of wine with me, and chugged it all by myself. I would rather have a ton of wine than liquor anyday. Not only does it taste betterm I get happy and loopy without the harsh side effects in the morning.My Uncle Netty and one of his many animals. He has a bunch running around that follow him ”L” for Licey!
