The Start of Something New

I had a blog all about my pregnancy, I have a blog about my daughter that I share with my husband, my husband has a blog for his writing in Spanish and another for every day musings, and I had nothing about who I am. Nothing about what movies I like, what books I read, what my vices are, what happened to me today, well, all the other inane small stuff other bloggers blog about that people seem to read.

This one is all about me.

Of course, it will include references to my daughter, to my husband, and to everybody else who surrounds me. Because they make me, well, me.

Some people not familiar with Spanish or with Hispanic culture ask what Luna Boricua means. Boricua is a person or object that is from the Island of Puerto Rico. So translated crudely, it means Puerto Rican Moon. And believe me, you have not seen the moon until you see it reflected on an ocean, bright and clear. It has been my screen name in Yahoo! since 1996. I've slowly been able to migrate it to Google, and now Blogger.

As you can probably tell, I'm from the island of Puerto Rico. I went to the engineering college there, known as El Colegio or UPR-RUM (University of Puerto Rico - Mayaguez Campus), and graduated in 1999. I'm now in the Metro DC area. I will soon be starting an M.S. degree full-time for a year.

So, here I am. Come in, get comfy, and let's get it started.
