Haagen Dazs

Now here is something that most People LOVE!! Haagen Dazs’ ice creams. There are so many different flavors that you can try out that when I go to the store each time to pick out an ice cream to enjoy at home, I get so indecisive that it becomes nearly impossible to pick one single flavor.


Among their copious amount of flavors, my favorite ones are: Cookies and cream, Strawberry Cheesecake, Vanilla Caramel Brownie, Chocolate chip cookie dough, and Midnight Cookies and Cream. Some of them are so weird but their combination is genius. What impressed me the most was how much I can eat. In one sitting, depending where I am, I’ll eat up to one can of their ice cream.

Haagen Dazs was not created over night….. it took them about 4 decades to perfectionate their products. Mr. Mattus, supported by his wife Rose, made this company based on the vision that was soon going to become the world’s number 1 ice cream.

MONIQUE VON GABRIEL

Have you ever met a person who can be described in one word? Crazy. It is a simple word that can be followed by endless explanations. Monique is this crazy person to me. She is a great friend and she always comes up with new and creative ways to make people around her laugh. A lot. We think very differently in many ways but, that doesn´t matter because I believe that, that is why she is a close friend of mine.


She has always been a very cute person to me. Someone who is there when I need her. If I am in a happy mood she will laugh with me for hours without even having a true reason to laugh. When I feel sad or somehow depressed she accompanies me by giving me advice or simply being there. She shows that she cares.

Something that distinguishes Monique from almost everyone that I know is her selflessness. At break time sometimes I find myself without money to buy anything or during class when I starve and have nothing to eat. She finds ways to help me with small things or big things. She does this to anyone who shows to be her friend. This is why I LOVE MONIQUE VON GABRIEL!!!

MAFE!!

Her real name is Maria Fernanda but everyone calls her MAFE. She was born in Peru but up until last year she was living here, in São Paulo. Now she is currently back home in her senior year. I really do hope that she ends up coming for college in the city because not only is she one of my best friends but, she has also given me many, many unforgettable moments.


She was the one that presented chapel to me when I first arrived in Brazil back in the year 2006 when I was a 7th grader. We didn’t have the best start but by the end we had already become inseparable. She is hilarious, charming, smart, influential, and pretty. She tought me a lot about life and how to look at it from completely different perspectives.

We have a few traditions that occur almost every time I meet her. We like to go shopping a lot where we can try on clothes that will NEVER be in our wardrobe while we take pictures. We later enjoy ice cream or depending on where we are we go to Franz Café. Our biggest tradition is Martinezlandia which, is nothing huge or anything like that. We do a sleepover at my house where we watch various movies, we bake too many cakes to eat, and we talk about our feelings for endless hours.
