Esa hembra es MALA

In the last few months, various people, from the nurses in the health center, to my host sisters, to the owners of my local corner store, and beyond have taken to calling me "la hembra mala" completely independent of each other.  For those of you who don`t speak Spanish, "hembra mala" means bad or evil woman.  So why would people who I am close to start calling me the evil woman?  Am I really that bad a person?  Well, yes I am malita every now and again, but that is not the reason for my new nickname.  It is all to do with the popular Mexican novela Teresa, in which the title character is, indeed, a hembra mala.  Since everyone in my town knows me as Teresa, it has become everyone`s new favorite joke.  The show itself doesn´t do much for me.  It doesn´t have enough absurd humor, like Hasta que el dinero nos separe, or a cutie-pie lead male like Cuando me enamoro (I`ve had a big fat crush on Juan Soler ever since La fea mas bella), so it really holds no attraction to me.  The best thing about Teresa is the theme song, which is where the hembra mala reference comes from.  I seriously can`t get enough of it, and everytime I`m feeling sassy, I will sing along to it in my head, pretending that I really am la hembra mala.
