Hello all, well here I am posting the pictures I could save from that trip, hope you enjoy... And, If you are wondering we stayed at this lovely hotel called Istirincha in Nautla Veracruz.

The view from the hotel.

Another lovely view from the place, it was really nice.

Moonlight on the beach

I tried to keep the camera still, and as you can see, I failed.

A view of Tecolutla

A lamp at a restaurant in Tecolutla, the editing of this picture was made by Sefe n_n

We made a bonfire at the beach


Another try at the moonlight.

The hotel had Peafowls, it was interesting to see how they are used to being around humans.

Baby Crocodiles

This scene reminded me of cherry blossoms in Japan

This is an erizo, I really don't know what they're called in english.

This was at the port of Veracruz.

A church at the port.

A child feeding the doves at the port. This picture was edited by Sefe.

Recently I discovered this video called Thought of you by Ryan Woodward, thanks to a friend via facebook, I loved it, it broke my heart and made me remember my animation dreams. I hope it has a positive impact on you.

Here you can find an HD version of the animation and a great behind the scenes :D

Hello everyone, sorry, but for today there shall be no update on the whole Veracruz trip, I've been battling a deadline and it's been pretty much taken all my time, so I'll leave you with a simple but lovely pic I took while on a brief trip to Guadalajara (I was at an Android boot camp, pretty cool operating system I dare say).

Hopefully I shall return soon, if not, I shall continue to update this way (to be sincere I've been trying to update every monday he he). Thank you for visiting! Ciao!!

I think bipolar cat is related to a lizard or something.

The Return of Real Pictures

2010-12-25T00:49:00.008-06:00

As many of you might know, I have a fairy godfather, a Norwegian fairy godfather to be precise ha ha, anyways, I finally have a camera between my hands, so my obsession finally goes on, so, without more to say, I show my first massive session of the day...

A violin at my parents house

An old antique radio

Bipolar Cat, after all this time, she's still here, just a little fatter.

The real thing

2010-11-15T20:34:00.005-06:00

Today I just finished watching "The Social Network", to be sincere, I was depressed, in part, due to my current situation, I'm working as a freelance, and also because I'm sick and tired of this job, not only do you get terrible offerings, but they ask for for the perfect app and pay like crap. Maybe I'm saying this because of all I've seen in this industry, maybe I'm just pissed at the world.

Maybe.

I confess to be reading Eat, Pray and Love, yes, the girly book, that one. And well, I'm liking it so far, in an odd way it really does distract me from my 2 hr insane journey from home to their offices. I wish I had the liberty to just travel and find myself again. One thing I'm sure of, I was wrong when I decided to be a Computer Science major. I'm not made to be inside an office. I work for the day I don't have to work in this anymore. I'd gladly leave this profession for good.

What do you want to do now?

Get my damn camera, which has been eluding me for months, and just photograph, that's my dream. I might die from starvation. But at least I'd die happy.

So this is it. What's on my mind. Bah Humbug.

No es secreto que la mayoría de mis dibujos surgen a partir de canciones. Hoy mientras tomaba un rico té verde y buscando inspiración, recorría mi amplia lista de canciones y me topé con esta linda melodía. Hace años que la habia escuchado, y confieso que nunca entendí exactamente de lo que se trata, pero así como no la comprendo, admito que me gusta. Comencé a trazar, y surgió este pequeño garabato, que pienso que se merece ver la luz del día. Gracias por visitar n_n y disfruta de Té para tres de Soda Estéreo.

A chilling tale of the cat piano, hope you like as much as I did.

The Cat Piano is an 8-minute short film directed by Eddie White and Ari Gibson.
The Cat Piano features the voice of iconic Australian artist Nick Cave narrating a poem written by Eddie White. Nick Cave recorded the narration whilst in Melbourne in 2007 while on tour with his band, The Grinderman.

2009-08-14T00:41:00.003-05:00

These blank walls scare me sometimes, they just don't feel like mine.

I have such big dreams, it's hard to hold them down sometimes.

Nothing is impossible, as long as you believe. I believe, I want to believe.

It's hard being away from home, even if I act like I'm strong.

Crash, I crashed today. I broke down in tears.

Too much time inside four walls, bring me down.

It's the best! Thank you so much Marisol! The reason I mention this, is because Kokomo will be traveling with me around this town, so keep an eye out ;)

I really love that I can't forget about you

2009-05-21T00:01:00.004-05:00

Today's song is Hard luck woman by KISS, for a loooong time I thought it said, Satan's only daughter, which made it even more appealing to me, but alas, I was wrong, and it was Sailor's only daughter... so close haha...

sure that no harm would come,

Today I saw Barfly, directed by Barbet Schroeder (he made Murder by Numbers), written by Charles Bukowski, starring Mickey Rourke (yep, The Wrestler guy or Marv from Sin City), Faye Dunaway and Alice Krige (she was Christabella in Silent Hill).

To start off, this is not your typical movie. The main character is pretty antagonistic of what I had in mind from the beginning. Since the first scene you like the guy, he has a certain spark that just reels you into his world.

I consider it a drama, but it's not going to make you cry, that's for sure ha ha.

The main idea of the movie is you follow a jack of all trades who lives one day at a time, booze is his main concern and the rest of the world can go about it's business; you see his encounters and the choices he makes. I liked his philosophy, I think that was what made me go through all the movie, I was curious on what he was going to do next.

I think Rourke really did a good job with the character. If you are in the mood for an out of the ordinary drama, this might be a good option. Enjoy!

It's been a while since I've posted a series of pics, so here we go :D enjoy

A tree

Same tree, can you spot the spider?

One of my favorite plants, some leaves are the size of my hand

My mom has a lot of these in different areas of the garden, and depending of the light they get are the color they have. From light green, to purple greenish to a darker green.

Bird of Paradise, until recently I finally saw the bird resemblence

My cousins cat.

The one, the only, bipolar cat on my favorite blanket

A cat can also be man's best friend.

It's pretty amazing how things happen, a little while ago, I was sad (I'm feeling better, thanks), too much thinking really hit me, wait... I think I need to go back a little...

My bro went back to Mexicali because of some work he had to do, his cat is staying with us for the rest of the week. Whoever has met this little feline knows that this is not your typical cat, she meows in the most bizarre way, she doesn't like to be petted much less carried, she doesn't like strangers (and if they are cat owners, she goes berserk). My cousin calls her devil cat, I sometimes call her bipolar cat. And for some reason she likes my room and my favorite blanket, so she sleeps on it.

Going on, I was feeling down, and started to cry, got out of bed and planning on listening to some music and drawing (that always helps me). The curious thing is that she got up, and sat on my lap (she only has done that once, she was a small kitten) and purred until I calmed down. Then she just stared at me, then jumped off and got back to being her hyperactive old self again.

Thanks bipolar cat :)

Today I came across a web page containing a really good documentary called The Pixar Story, I had the privilege of seeing it in Siggraph last year. It's a true inspiration. If you are a fan of Pixar films, I highly recommend you watch it.

The downside is that when you reach 72 minutes the web page will make you wait a little while to continue, but believe me it's really worth it.

I found it online though Documentalizate and it's in spanish.

The documentary was directed by Lesly Iwerks.

Enjoy!

Hello everyone it's been a while since I've posted music, so here we go :D

If you saw Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind (and if you haven't I highly recommend it even if it sounds like a cliche). Anyway, in the beginning sequence you hear this lovely song performed by Beck called Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime, from what little I could find online, the song was launched by a band called The Korgis in 1980 (dosen't seem the typical 80's song), let's start with that version.

Now, let's jump to the Beck's mellow version

Zucchero also made his version.

And last but not least (and I know it's not the only cover you can find, but its the last cover I've heard), a version by Krezip (which was actually the version that made me think of this post), I think this one is the cute version of them all :)

Ok, so, which version did you like the most? I think I'd go for Zucchero :)

From Zero to Hero

2009-03-06T02:17:00.002-06:00

I just watched Slumdog Millionaire, I guess this would have been better before the Oscars haha, and I know that because of all the brouhaha this post isn't really necessary, so I'll keep it short.

This film was Directed by Danny Boyle (you got to love him for 28 days later, Trainspotting and Sunshine). Co-directed by Loveleen Tandan. The main characters where portrayed by Dev Patel and Freida Pinto.

Due to my lack of true inspiration (and if I send this to Draft it will never see the light of day) I'll just say, at first I totally sub estimated the film, the title didn't appeal to me and I didn't even bother to know who made it. After a while everyone was cheering for it, and eventually became the underdog for the Oscars and came out a winner. So I gave it the chance it deserved. And the verdict is: it's really good, and it deserves to be watched.

The story goes around this uneducated boy who ends up in Who wants to be a millionaire and actually starts winning. How does he know? Well, it's not what you think or at least, it wasn't what I expected. You'll get surprised, you'll be moved, I'm not sure if your laugh or cry (I don't remember laughing and I didn't cry), but in the end I recommend the movie. The story is good, and makes you cheer for the main character, so take a risk if you haven't seen it, Danny Boyle won't let you down ha ha. Enjoy!

I saw the Changeling the other day and I had to write about it.

Let's start from the beginning, this movie was directed by Clint Eastwood, starring Angelina Jolie, Michael Kelly, John Malkovich, among others.

Now, if you are a fan of Eastwood's work as a director, I think this movie will not disappoint you, but be warned its going to be a bumpy ride.

The first time my dad saw the trailer, he couldn't believe Angelina was the woman on screen. To be sincere, I'm not a big fan, but I think that she really pulls off the character.

The plot goes around a mother that reports her missing son and how the police gives her another boy. I don't want to spoil (as always) so I won't go any further. Yet I do share that it gets a little intense. Eastwood does a really good job on getting you involved in the film. In my case, let's just say I had to practice a few breathing exercises during the film because I was getting stressed out (in a good way, I don't know if that exists ha ha, what I'm trying to say is that I got stressed just by imagining how I would feel in her shoes).

And, just in case you are Jolie fan, I think that she looks gorgeous, I loved 20's/30's fashion and the hats, oh you gotta love the hats :D!

Ok, that's enough, I say that if you are in a dramatic mood and want a little mystery, this is a good flick to catch.
