About Maria

I'm a Cali girl - born and raised. I'm half Puerto Rican (my Dad was born in Bayamon, Puerto Rico) and half Mexican (my Mom was born in Jalisco, Mexico). I'm very proud of both of my cultures... I'm proud of being a MexiRican-American! (Little confusing, eh?) I received my BA degree in spring of 2008 and I'm currently planning on attending graduate school (if all goes well).

I'm naturally curious about things so I know I'm going to be taking some form of classes or lessons for the rest of my life (after graduate school of course). Check out my To-Do List on the left to see some examples of things I would like to learn/ classes I would like to take! I just like to learn about things that I'm interested in.

Usually I'm a quiet person, very observant. But if I've known you for a while and feel totally comfortable with you I'm a bit more talkative and silly. I treasure my family and loved ones and want to see them happy which is why I tend to try to make them laugh... even at my own expense. I have a boyfriend who I've been with for over 3 years He's the love of my life! He's just like me, but funnier... and more patient, lol.

About AnotherMaria.com

Why the domain name "Another Maria"?
I chose the domain name "Another Maria" because Maria is such a common name. There are literally at least 5 Maria's that I know of on my block alone and we joke about it a lot. The name is so common that family members call me by a nickname most of the time and a cousin even asked me what my REAL name was since he's always known me by my nickname. So there you have it, I'm just one of the many... I'm just another Maria.

Why do you have a website?
It's a hobby - that's it. I've enjoyed making webpages since we first got connected to the internet, so it was only a matter of time for me to get my own spot on the web. I am NOT a writer or a journalist (I think that's pretty obvious when you read my blog). I just like to share information with others and also give visitors a little peak into my world. Hope you enjoy your stay!
