Curious Random Fact About Me #11

I love Bubble Wrap

The real thing

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.

Sleeping in Monterrey, Waking in DF

Well, I just got back from Monterrey, I saw some known faces, I met new ones. It was a good trip. I wish I could have done more, in the end I'm only human.

Scribbled Thoughts

Tarde o temprano todos enfrentamos nuestros demonios.

Crecimos con ellos.

Aún en edad adulta hay quienes temen a la obscuridad.

Y al final, todos tenemos cadáveres que ocultar.

I hate feeling vulnerable... especially at night... when I can't sleep...

when the first star you see, may not be a star

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.

News news news!

Hello All!

Well I have news for you! I got a job!

Hell yeah!

Movin' to Mexico City this weekend!

I'll post about it soon!

Small new project

Well, as some have read in my twitterland, I'm painting a birdhouse, in an unusual style... inspired by my favorite painting, Starry Night by Van Gogh...

Here is a sneak peek...

It's not finished yet, but will be soon...

Poll: Do you guys think someone would actually buy this?

I can't get to sleep

Insomnia time...

♪ Especially at night, I worry over situations,
I know I'll be alright, perhaps it's just imagination ♪

Wishes

Another year... gone so fast...

26...

Thank you all for sharing this place and time with me...

For all the wishes and dreams...

And for all that awaits... Cheers!

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 :)

Finding my groove.

Sometimes having lots of free time and no income can really get on your nerves.

Happy happy joy joy

Today I passed a song in Rockband, but not just playing one instrument! I was rockin' the drums and singing, wooooo!

Just wanted to share haha :)

Note, I couldn't find the original Happy happy joy joy song, so here is a cover :P

Back to basics

Sometimes all we need is an invisible slap in the head to make you realize:

no, you don't know everything
no, you won't remember everything you supposedly learned in school
and no, you can't learn a whole chapter in 2 min (at least I can't).

Practice makes perfect, and this padawan needs patience T_T

I'll get there, even if it makes my brain go mushy, I will beat this

Overthinking...

It's true, you don't need a particular day to say I love you, to share a kiss or a hug, to receive flowers or gifts, still, it feels nice. And it doesn't have to be expensive gifts, fine dinning and rare flowers. To have a small reminder like valentine's day to break your daily habit and share a tender moment with your loved one is something nice, to learn from it and not just make it once a year is priceless ha ha...

Changing the subject drastically yet still stuck in the overthinking part...

Today an MSN contact had his blog address as a nickname, I admit, I was curious, so I went in, gosh, it felt like I was reading his diary, where he poured his heart and soul into, I didn't read much, it felt too personal... I know, the concept of a blog is to share with the world what you feel or think, free speech, I'm not going against it, on the contrary I cheer for it, hey! I have a blog!... but going back to the event... I just felt like I had walked into an open room filled with letters to a lost love, with pictures of special things, memories and felt guilty about it, eventhough the door was open for anyone to walk in, the owner even made a sign for people to notice it, yet I can't help to feel like I shouldn't have read it, like it was not my place to be there.

Weird? yes. Been thinking too much? absolutely. Should get back to my studies? I'd better.

Just wanted to share... has anyone been there before?

Pie

One thing that I like about being at home is that I have all access to the kitchen, especially the oven, I love making pastries, this time, I made lemon meringue pie :) yum!

They say that the best food is the one made with love, well, this was one was made listening to good old... hmm... now that I think of it... I'm not sure what type of genre this classifies as... I'd better just explain... my dad has this compilation of cover albums by Rod Stewart of old Sinatra and similar artist music... I love it... but I'm not sure what it classifies as... so I'll share one of my faves ;)

Going back to the pie... it's my first time making one by myself, I hope its good hehe... So here it is... I present to you all... my pie :)


Now before I go, I leave a silly animation, pointless? very hehe... but still in the Pie topic :P

Last one of 2008

Well this year brought many things, love, unemployment (and I think it wasn't bad at all, I needed a good vacation and "me" time), trips, a family growing closer to each other, so many things that make me consider that I am blessed.

I won't get into mushy detail (he he I shall spare you all of that), but I do wish you all a very wonderful 2009, good vibes.

Now I raise my tequila drink...

Cheers! Happy new Year

something to think... something to feel...

Has a movie ever made you cry?

Not because of how sad it made you feel... but more like it moved you... made you feel a tad envious of what the character feels or how he or she shows his or her feelings...

and yes... I'm speaking of love...

call me a romantic... call me naive... or whatever you want... but you have to admit... being in love and loved for is something that we all long for... and the people who have had that or have it right now... know... that there is nothing like the feeling of being loved and accepted for who you are... not the way you look or the way people see you... but for you...

and are there for you... as you are there for them...

right now I finished seeing two movies... autumn in new york and sweet november... I will give the review one day... but for now... I had the urge to say it...

to be in love is the best thing in the world... to be able to smile and share your time and afection... to look forward to seeing that person... even if you saw him or her a few minutes ago... to dream of a future... it can be something simple... like going to eat... movies... on a trip... it dosent matter... as long as you are with that person...

to have your heart race when you think of something you shared... a joke... a smile... a hug... words... whatever you want....

i dare say that the beatles we right... you can have all the posesions in the world and still feel empty... and you can be poor but feel like the richest person in the world... in the end... all you need is love...

♪ oh i love, oh i love, oh i love what you do to my head
oh i love, oh i love, oh i love what you do to my heart ♪

now to bed... sleepy time...
if nothing made any sense... i blame that its 1 am, I'm sleepy and emotional haha

Cuento...

Hoy en la mañana nació este pequeño cuento. Enjoy

*************************************************************************************

A través de sus ojos.

¡¿Que paso?! De un salto me levante. Ah! Es él.

Es raro que me quede dormida tan tarde, creo que al fin los años me están alcanzando.

Él camina a la cocina, se ve cansado, parece que durmió poco. Entiendo su pesar, yo también dormí poco, contemple la luna, no pensaba en cosas en particular, solo la veía.

Comienza a hacer una revolución. Prepara su desayuno. Es raro. Solo preparaba el desayuno cuando ella estaba en casa y habían peleado. Era su manera de pedir disculpas. Nunca en voz, solo en acciones.

Lo conozco, llevamos un tiempo compartiendo casa, casi no hablamos, pero sabemos cuando algo esta mal, sin tener que decirlo.

Te he preparado una porción. Me dice. Sabe que un desayuno no le niego, quizás una cena, mas nunca desayuno. Me acerco a él y me recargo un poco, sabe que es mi manera de decirle que me preocupa. No soy buena mostrando mis emociones. Compartimos el mismo problema.

La extraño, me dice.

Solo observo. No me atrevo a decirle nada.

Ella lleva unos meses fuera de la ciudad.

Algunas noches, cuando esta realmente triste, estoy con él en su cuarto. A veces solo me siento a su lado, otras me gana el sueño y me quedo dormida antes que él, es en esos momentos cuando no se atreve a decirme que necesita su espacio.

Siento que nos traemos paz mutuamente…

Terminamos de desayunar, deja los platos a un lado. Y comienza a tomar sus cosas para irse. Otro día más -dice al aire, en un tono de lamento. Camina hacia la puerta, lo sigo unos pasos.

Te encargo la casa, me dice. Y solo puedo darle un maullido como adiós.
