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?

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:

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)

random quote

I was looking for an answer. Been looking for an explanation for days. Grabbed a book. Opened a random page.

"My friends," Petrarch announced almost solemnly, "there are times when, against your will, it´s necessary to be nasty to a woman.". (Kundera, the book of laughter and forgetting).

:) OK. Gracias, Petrarca.

sin querer queriendo

+ya me hice la idea que I´m not there anymore. (por fin, pero en contra de mi voluntad) saqué mis IDs de Oxford, tarjetas de puntos y cliente frecuente de UK y mi small change de mi cartera.
sigh.
pero bueno, dejé todo a la mano... just in case.

I NEED TO LAUGH!!!

Just as someone in pain is linked by his groans to the present moment (and is entirely outside past and future), so someone bursting out in such ecstatic laughter is without memory and without desire, for he is emitting his shout into the world´s present moment and wishes to know only that. M. Kundera.
