Vermont

One of the things I've enjoyed the most this summer is my visit to Vermont. I went there to visit an old friend. I had the best time. Vermont is a beautiful state, and Yana is not only very special and interesting person; She is a friend that has been with me throughout the growing up in the last decade. She is very important to me and the cutest friend I have.

During my visit we did a lot of talking, shopping, eating, walking, we went to the Shelburne Museum, a dance show, and the show of Garrison Keillor. Yana kept me busy throughout the whole weekend. I felt very special.

The picture above is about one of the funniest moments of my trip. The cow is so funny. This is one of the pictures I could stare at for a long time and laugh, and laugh out loud.

Thanks and much love Yana.

Hello You All.

Summer time is always my second best season of the year...

I know some of you have been wondering about me and me not posting anything. Well, I must say I have been working a lot (my favorite excuse nowadays). I have been focusing on cutting off a lot of loose ends (financial and social).

The picture above is from one of my "night hikes" in the city. I have been enjoying this long walks, especially because very special people have joined me. The first one going with me was Mr. Smif, then Leti, and Roco.

Se Me Acabo El Veinte

Ya cumpli los treinta...

This blog is to thank all of you who made my birthday one of the best ever.

Especially my mother for the dinner party, and all of you who were there.
I had a lot of fun.

Lili sent me a short video that made me cry. Lady Yn sent me a pair of beautiful earrings. Mr. Smif gave the movie "American Gangster" for a reason (it worked the opposite way) sorry!
Ms. Jackie took me to see Wicked, I loved it. I&I got me the Depeche Mode Concert In Milan DVD, and actually since I was home alone last Wednesday night I watched it. I love Dave's moves, they make me scream.

Thanks for all the cards and phone calls.
Dr. Noland was the first one to call this year. I was very surprised. The one who for the first time in 19years didn't hear from on my birthday was Rorris...

And of course, that I pampered myself with almost every little thing that came to mind. Spent a few hours at the spa. I went shopping a few times. I bought a book "Sunday's at Tiffany's" please do not buy it, or read it. It's horrible. And after 5 months I decided to get drunk. It still takes a lot for me to get drunk I thought that maybe I would loose my tolerance but I didn't. It was fun, I had way too much fun.

Thanks again.

Dreams Come True

I hope that whatever happened on Wednesday night was only a dream.

About Me

I wrote an essay for my sociology class four years ago. The essay is called "Who am I?" Here's a section of it (it's funny).

Sometimes I think I use the fact that mom was always late as an excuse to be so impatient. The truth of it is that the waiting period to get one thing accomplished drives me nuts. I have tried to improve and be more tolerant. For instance, I ask people to let me know if they are going to be late because knowing that a person is running late usually calms my anxiety. In my opinion, when one is waiting, the last minute is the longest minute of all, so if we don't know which is the last minute, the wait overall feels like an eternity. The more I wait, the more angry I become.

"Monkey Mind"

I'm posting today with the members of the "Margaritas Club" in mind. First of all, I'd like to thank lady Yn for being my friend (thanks for correcting your number). I had a great time talking you the other night. I miss our friendship too...

Also, after hearing and reading from some of you, I noticed that focusing more about the good things of our lives NOW will help us be not so out of it (if that makes sense).

The following are some paragraphs from "eat, pray, love." Please read.

"I've heard it said that prayer is the act of talking to God, while meditation is the act of listening... I can prattle away to God about all my feelings and my problems all the livelong day, but when it comes time to descend and listen... well, that's a different story. When I ask my mind to rest in stillness, it is astonishing how quickly it will turn (1) bored, (2) angry, (3) depressed, (4) anxious or (5) all the above.

From the distant past to the unknown-able future, my mind swings wildly through time, touching on dozens of ideas a minute, unharnessed and undisciplined. This is in itself not necessarily a problem; the problem is the emotional attachment that goes along that goes along with the thinking. Happy thoughts make me happy, but -whoop!- how quickly I swing again into obsessive worry, blowing the mood; and then it's the remembrance of an angry moment and I start to get hot and pissed off all over again; and my mind decides it might be a good time to start feeling sorry for itself, and loneliness follows promptly. You are after all, what you think. Your emotions are the slaves to your thoughts, and you are the slave to you emotions.

The other problem with all this swinging through the vines of thought is that you are never where you are. You are always digging in the past or poking at the future, but rarely do you rest in this moment...

If you are looking for union with the divine, this kind of forward/backward whirling is a problem. There's a reason they call God a presence -because God is right here, right now. In the present is the only place to find Him, and now is the only time." Elizabeth Gilbert
