Ciao Dieste!

So my internship at Dieste Harmel has come to an end. Dieste wouldn't have been the same without a certain few individuals. First off, Joanna. Joanna was the "other intern" that started this journey with me. BUT, she decided to go to Thailand in the middle of Summer and ditched me! She did bring me a Thai flag patch for my camera case or my messenger bag. Jessica was pretty SWEET also. She accompanied me to our favorite food court. In order to get to the food court we had to pass through a series of underground tunnels and through a few abandoned buildings. Lets just say that the journey was very reminiscent of the mall scene in Cloverfield. Brazil. Oh Brazil Brazil Brazil. The only things I understood from this guy was, "Eh Man" (when talking to me" and "Eh Chica" (when referring to any female in our "area". Brazil was fun and entertaining. Especially while singing Over the Rainbow for an entire day. I need to learn a little bit of Portuguese so that I can communicate with him if i ever come across him in the future.

Last night we had the 5th Annual Butterfly Rock Battle of the Bands benefiting the Veronica Leon Scholarship Fund. The event was a huge success. A ton of people from our sister Omnicom agencies showed up. Hopefully the Battle of the bands will only continue to grow as the years progress.


Unfortunately, Ho Downs arestill very popular in Texas.

La Tour Eiffel.... eat your heart out!

This tower is located near my house in Dallas. I had no idea what it was or why it was there.


After a little research I found that it is a radio tower for the local High School.


The tower is massive and looks very similar to the Eiffel Tower.


Theres a pretty good view of Downtown Dallas from the top.

107

Today it was 107 degrees here in Dallas. Apparently its a record high. Its also been 10 straight days that North Texas has had 100+ degree temperatures. The sun set about 4 hours ago, and its still 91 degrees.

I'm a Loaner

I wanted to let all of you guys know about Kiva (www.kiva.org), a non-profit that allows you to lend money to a specific low-income entrepreneur in the developing world.

You choose who to lend to - whether a baker in Afghanistan, a goat herder in Uganda, a farmer in Peru, a restaurateur in Cambodia, or a tailor in Iraq - and as they repay their loan, you get your money back. It’s a powerful and sustainable way to empower someone right now to lift themselves out of poverty.

So to answer the question that EVERYONE asks me... "What do you do with your money."

This is the answer.
