today we had a bit of formality

señoras y señores, con ustedes, la política mexicana...

(no cabe duda que de todo se aprende)

a qué le apuesto?

What do I set my bets on?


Meanwhile, de algo estoy segura:
When I was rocking jelly and had a little belly - Who would ever thought, you'd think I was sexy - And I don't know why you take me as I am - Even when my girls can't understand - I choose you as my man (my man, yeah) - Cause you take me as I am (take me as I am). Sharissa

Yo te quiero con limon y sal yo te quiero tal y como estas

no hace falta cambiarte nada Yo te quiero si vienes o si vas

si subes si bajas si no estas seguro de lo que sientes

the Wheel of Life and Cosmic Order

veo el mensaje por todas partes "estoy donde debo de estar".

The Ashoka Chakra was randomly put in front of me

A cada rato recibo la oración de Santa Teresita

"puedes confiar en tu poder más alto pues estás exactamente donde debes estar"

I guess I have nothing to do but accept it.

"I am where I am supposed to be".

Lesson #....

WHAT IS THE LESSON?! WHAT IS THE LESSON?! WHAT IS THE LESSON?!?!

monarch

Monarchs are all over the place. They cross my sight at every moment, flying over Monterrey, reminding me about the greatness of life.

We still do not know how they manage to know the direction they are supposed to follow, and how grand-children and great-grand-children return to the exact same point where their ancestors started their journey. Research about their inter-generational migration is ongoing, pointing out circadian rhythms and the position of the sun in the sky.

Maybe they just know by heart what they should do and the paths they should take. Maybe they do not know it but just feel what is correct and pursue it.

Maybe we all have a Monarch in ourselves.

globalización con peculiaridad (aka glocalisation)

todo mundo hablaba de eso

everyone in town was talking about it

parecía una fiebre

it seemed like a fever

me negaba

pero me sometí

i tried to resist

but i submitted myself to it

Today I (finally) went to Starbuck´s here in Monterrey

it opened when? don´t know... 3-6 months ago.

(or maybe more)

there was a difference though

here, there were some balloons

(GRACIAS 2Ñs!)

today I´m happy

(so happy that it does not need any words)

I am happy

just because

letting the dust settle

I will wait until the dust settles

y después me lo sacudo

.total.

libertad

Es increíble cómo cuando te quitas el miedo de encima
te sientes completamente libre.

sin miedo a nada, uno siente que ya lo ha vivido todo

y lo que no, es bienvenido a llegar.

sin miedo, nos unimos a la eternidad

the festival of lights

HAPPY DIWALI!

los aromas del otoño

el otoño regresa
con sus colores y aromas
y gratos recuerdos
de un otoño que ya no es pero que nunca se irá

¿cuestión de edad?

the clock is ticking.



is the clock ticking?




mh.


tick. tick. tick.

feng shui

Me estoy re-encontrando con mi pasado y haciendo espacios para mi presente y mi futuro... osea, estoy limpiando mi cuarto!! de todo a todo, sacando papeles, libretas de apuntes, folletos, recuerditos, cartas, tarjetas, de todo...

y zaz!! que sale una foto de Gael García!!! No me acordaba que fui a verlo al teatro en la obra de El Abuelo y Yo... en qué año sería? 1992 - 1993... y tiene su autógrafo!!!! jajaja ¿En cuánto podría venderla? Mmh... algún postor?

Bueno, in the midst of all this mess, I am finding stuff that is making me smile, other things that are making me burst out in tears out of laughter, and many many things I did not even remember I had or what they mean. de-clogging and cleaning. I still do not know where is home or where I am heading, but this is a good chance for me to reflect on what is important, what will I leave here, and what will I eventually move with me (wherever that place is).

Divertido, muy divertido. Esperemos que el feng shui funcione.

for good or for bad

this one holds true:

could anyone please tell me

where´s my crystal ball?

Cómo Han Pasado Los Años

Creo que es un signo de que ya estamos viejos (sí, pues VIEJOS),

en esta semana he recibido invitaciones para re-encuentros, de las chicas de primaria y secundaria, de los amigos de prepa.

...como que la nostalgia está en el aire.

el 2 de octubre no se olvida

One year ago, I climbed up to the top of that Victorian house, moving all of my suitcases one by one. It was hard, but I was excited. After 24 hours of travelling, I had finally arrived "home". Room 8B. 25/26 Winchester Road.

I can´t explain the feeling.

Started unpacking, and deciding where to put all of my stuff, and how to organise my things.

Opened my laptop and started playing Juan Luis Guerra (somehow I needed some link with home and that was the only latin music I had).

All those thoughts and feelings. Una maraña de emociones.

and I said to myself "What the hell am I doing here?"

funny.

now I am sitting in my living room in Monterrey.

and I say to myself

"What the hell am I doing here?"

in the middle of nowhere

me encantan las fechas, me encanta jugar con ellas, identificar patrones, encontrar vínculos, casualidades, causalidades y fechas repetitivas.
hoy hace un año estaba in the middle of nowhere,
hoy también.

(seguiré buscando más fechas interesantes)
