We walked in Costa Mesa in memory of our dad's sister, our much loved Aunt,

and all the family she left behind last year in Argentina.

It was a beautiful way to spend Sunday morning.

we loved the world cup!

2010-07-11T21:27:00.001-07:00

And our facebook profile pics told it all...

Congrats Spain!

But until next time,

ARGENTINA!

Vamos, vamos Argentina,

vamos, vamos a ganar,

que esta barra quilombera,

no te deja, no te deja de alentar.

In English, por favor:
Let's go, let's go Argentina,
We are going, we are going to win,
for these raucous supporters,
won't stop, won't stop cheering for you. :)

blue cake, pictures, and pedicures

2010-07-06T21:22:00.000-07:00

Red and blue nails were necessary for the holiday.

We had Argentine BBQ on America's birthday. Sorry, it's the only way we know how to do it. :)

Ewan blessed the food and the blue cake.

Made by Audra.

Happy 4th of July!

Christmas '07

2010-06-01T18:17:00.000-07:00

Here is a sister picture that I found of us making a Christmas dessert in 2007. YUM!!!

(Felicia didnt make the picture)

Always missing someone...

2010-06-01T17:34:00.000-07:00

There are so many of us Gorria sisters that one, two, or three sisters may be missing from a picture every once and a while. We were all together for Memorial Day yesterday and forgot to take a sister picture; in the words of Liana, "Fail" on our part. However, three of us had a great, fun, hot, and cool summer day at the Del Mar fairgrounds on Sunday for the Spirit West Coast Christian Festival. Lots of fun, good music, laughs and a great sister picture!

Should I send it in?...

2010-05-02T19:55:00.000-07:00

We sisters are always laughing and we were just being silly while taking this picture. I put it up on my Facebook page and have already been told that this picture belongs on a movie poster or billboard.

What do you think?

Should I send it in to Warner Bros Studios?

Maybe one day we'll obtain our dream of being the smiling sister faces for Tom's shoes.

(Liana was camera shy)

Obesession Confession

2010-02-24T15:36:00.000-08:00

I have been wanting a cool watch for a while now
And thanks to a good friend's help, I found the perfect one!
It's bright, colorful, fun, and very me.
I love it a lot. :D

Introducing my brand spakin' new Nixon Time Teller P!

If you've been watching American Idol this season

He has a quite a few colors.

Oh yeah, Valentine's Day!

2010-02-24T14:50:00.000-08:00

Man, oh man, am I bad at blogging or what?
Who's going to look at my posts if I never even post anything?!

Okay moving on.

As for Valentine's day, the night didn't go exactly as planned.
Actually, it didn't go at all as planned!
But it was a fun-filled day, nonetheless. :)
I ended up visiting my very missed friend Larissa in Riverside and
we spent the day catching up and hanging out..
When night hit, we drove out to the Tyler mall where we had
our makeup done by two lovely ladies who gave us
some good Vday treatment. :)
After, we got some shopping done and had a nice dinner out.
Ended the night with dessert IN and a movie!
("The Holiday" with Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet, highly recommend it!)

NOTE: TANK TOPS. FEBRUARY IN CALIFORNIA. LOVELY DAY.

valentine's day

2010-02-20T22:29:00.000-08:00

While one single lady spent the day with her girlfriends,

these taken Valentines spent the day sledding away.

No makeup vs. makeup.

Tarisa is always photoshoot ready. :)

Her Valentine. :)

Love Day, 2010

Calling All Single Ladies!

2010-02-10T13:57:00.000-08:00

Valentine's Day is coming up!

I know myself that Valentine's day seems like a bust when you're single, "manless".
So, this year for the lovey dovey holiday I decided to embrace the single life. :)
Note: I am single by choice, not because I can't get myself a man. ;)

Some of my single lady friends and myself are planning GIRLS NIGHT for Sunday, February 14th!

Our plans:
Red & Pink pajama attire
Waffles, crepes, pancakes, and other yummies for dinner. Cooking sesh!
Girl talk (a must!)
And some movies to end the night!

If you're a single girl stressin' over Valentine's Day, take some of these tips! I'm sure you will have a great V-Day to put in the books!

I will put up a post full of pictures on Monday. :)

TOMS happy dance

2010-01-27T15:08:00.000-08:00

I have TOMS.

And I love 'em.
.

They're a nice sunny yellow,

making me hungry for spring.

Me doing the TOMS happy dance.
...........
Thank you Liana for the coolest birthday present ever.
She provided a pair for a child in Argentina too!
Love you, and my TOMS.
Although I might love my TOMS more. Your fault. :)

headers

2010-01-26T14:09:00.001-08:00

We've been messing around with header alot.

We've landed on the argentine flag style for now,

but here are the last couple that have been up in case you missed them... :)

Not too late!

2010-01-20T23:15:00.000-08:00

It's still Katrina's birthday!
Better a little late than never, right?
You see my plan was to create a birthday/get well soon song
with my guitar and some clever lyrics. Fail.
Turns out I'm not that talented...yet. ;)
But here is a catchy song I found that is danceable as well.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATRINA! LOVE YOU!

Happy Birthday Katrina!

2010-01-20T20:11:00.001-08:00

I love you big sister!

Song of the Day!

2010-01-20T18:07:00.000-08:00

Just thought I'd share this song..
I woke up singing it, and I'm still singing it!
It's amazing. One of my all time favorite artists. :)

Fun Fact about this video:
It was shot in a little market in Argentina!
Lead girl, totally Argentine.
She is also Michael Buble's current girlfriend.
Lovin' it.

bored silly

2010-01-17T17:16:00.000-08:00

This is Tarisa (left) and me (right) (audra) making silly faces in front of the camera. This gave us something to do because we were bored just sitting at the table and staring at each other.(This is us in '07)

duet

2010-01-05T14:24:00.000-08:00

If singing on Christmas wasn't enough, Liana and I went on a duet tour to Becca and Corey's for New Years Eve!

I think we should seriously consider a career change. :)

Our girl group, NYE 2009!

our rock band

2009-12-28T11:00:00.000-08:00

We were transformed as The Beatles all day Christmas day...

thanks to Liana for getting dad THIS!

We make a pretty awesome band. :)

A Christmas Tradition

2009-12-28T09:48:00.000-08:00

Couldn't ask for a better way to spend the holidays than with my lovely sisters and the rest of our awesome family!

What I Think Of My Sisters

2009-12-22T01:02:00.000-08:00

I am so grateful to be a part of this family! My sisters are the most amazing and inspiring people i have ever met! Katrina always knows how to put a smile on my face no matter what mood i'm in she is beautiful on the inside and obviously the out:) Felicia i can tell anything too... i know she will listen and she gives the best advice... she always knows what to say and is there to assure me that i am doing the right thing:) Liana has taught me to always be the better person... no matter what situation i am in i always hear lili's voice in the back of my head saying "what would jesus do":) Audra is there anytime i want to be a kid for a day:) They all have affected me in different ways. I definitely know for a fact that i would not be where i am today with out them in my life. I love all of them to death and would do just about anything for them:)

Cruisin' and Clubbin'

2009-12-21T21:53:00.000-08:00

So, on our short drive from the Staples Center in LA
to Universal City Walk for a Christmas concert
we decided to hype ourselves up by bustin' some moves to the music!
This is just some of our typical sister shananigans
that we do to keep ourselves young. ;)
(Or our car audience young *cough cough*)
Joking.
We just live to entertain! :)

photoshoot in a suite

2009-12-21T09:57:00.001-08:00

Surprise Audra! Happy Birthday!

Dad took the fam to a suite at the Staples Center in LA to see Disney on Ice.

It was an early celebration of Audra's 11th birthday, which is coming up on Christmas Eve!

Suite to ourselves means... family photoshoot! We're our own celebrities. :)

Eventually, Ewan wanted to steal the spotlight.

And our brother jumped in too...

Such an great way to spend the Saturday before Christmas!

our argentine

2009-12-14T12:53:00.001-08:00

Don't forget cousin Romina!

Geez Felicia, you can't post one cousin and not the other. :)

She looooooved California when she was here in March for the first time.

Hope she comes back to visit soon! Besos! :)

Sister picture + 1

2009-12-13T17:04:00.000-08:00

All of us sisters with our cousin from Argentina, Elina!
She didn't speak much English but we totally understood each other,
it must be a Gorria thing :)
We love her and miss her very much!

fashion show

2009-12-02T20:43:00.000-08:00

Introducing, the Victoria's Secret Angels...

Not! But we sure tried...

work it, work it...

Just like them, right? Ha!

All the sisters (and honorary sisters!) got together to watch the VS fashion show last night.
So fun! And here we really are, the misfit angels...

Love. Peace. Pink!

what a weekend!

2009-11-30T09:39:00.001-08:00

Story behind the picture

2009-11-24T22:17:00.000-08:00

This was indeed a day to celebrate!

This was the day Liana graduated from high school.
She worked so hard and of course looked gorgeous.
A day any sister would be proud of!

...Also in this picture: a little cameo from our brother, Jared...

Thanksgiving 2006.

So thankful for my crazy sisters.

Smooth Criminal

2009-11-23T16:11:00.000-08:00

It was an incredible opportunity to be invited to attend the American Music Awards 2009! All thanks to our spectacular father, of course. :)
There were so many memorable moments of the show, but I must mention (being the crazy fan I am) that Michael Jackson broke records last night! He was awarded 4 of the 5 nominations including:

Favorite Male Artist - Pop/Rock
Favorite Male Artist - R&B/Soul
Favorite Pop/Rock Album - "Number Ones"
Favorite R&B/Soul Album - "Number Ones"

He was also nominated for Artist of the Year, but that award was snagged by Taylor Swift (which she definitely deserves!) These wins brought him to a unsurpassed 23 American Music Awards, making him "the most honored artist in AMA history". Congratulations MJ! Your music will forever live on!

Having said, anyone who has not seen Michael Jackson's "This Is It" you must watch! All of us sisters got to see it together and it was phenomenal! You won't regret it. :) - I saw it 3 times!

AMAs

2009-11-23T14:21:00.000-08:00

So we went!

And it was awesome. What a way to start off our blog with a bang!

The red carpet walkers were the five of us, and Dad.

He's the original Argentine, that passed the gene.

He's got the mad hookups when it comes to tickets.

And we are always happy to take them off his hands. :)

We got to see our favorites...

Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Shakira.

But I'll let the rest of the crew fill you in on the details...

I've got the pics. :)

Here are the camera shots we got before we had to leave it in the car.

No cameras allowed. Go figure.

But we have cell phone shots to share from inside. Sneaky, sneaky.

What a night!

And the award goes to...

2009-11-22T12:34:00.000-08:00

Just this morning,

there was a mess of dress swaping, hair curling, makeup consulting, and picture taking

because we're now in the car headed here...

The AMA's!
Keep an eye out for us in the crowd. :)
