Buscando inspiracion!

Well, the following is the last song I heard this morning on my way to work, and since I like it a lot I decided to just blog it.

Un mundo mejor
(La Oreja De Van Gogh)

El tiempo ha pintado las calles del mismo color
y tú te defiendes del hambre con una sonrisa y amor.
Las casas parece que miran pidiendo perdón
y todo comienza a bailar cuando ya no vigila el sol.
Quiero escuchar tu voz cantando en un mundo mejor.
Quiero encontrarte a ti sonriendo a la vida si no te sonríe ella a ti.

Dime niña de ojos tristes,
recuerdas aquel viejo barco que tanto quisiste,
donde tú y el mar hablabais de libertad,
de una escalera a la luna quizá,
de un mundo que no deje nunca de hacernos soñar.

Los coches se arrastran dejando detrás un olor
que ahoga a turistas sin alma bebiendo en sus vasos de ron.
Un niño pregunta si la libertad es así
y suena una vieja habanera que le cuenta un cuento sin fin.
Quiero escuchar tu voz cantando en un mundo mejor.
Quiero encontrarte a ti sonriendo a la vida si no te sonríe ella a ti.

Dime niña de ojos tristes,
recuerdas aquel viejo barco que tanto quisiste,
donde tú y el mar, hablabais de libertad,
de una escalera a la luna quizá,
de un mundo que no deje nunca de hacernos soñar.

No digas nada, sólo es un ángel jugando a vivir.
Vuelve a sonreír por mí.
Por eso dime niña de ojos tristes,
recuerdas aquel viejo barco que tanto quisiste,
donde tú y el mar, hablabais de libertad,
de una escalera a la luna quizá,
de un mundo que no deje nunca de hacernos soñar.

El pasado presente!

This Shakira song made me think of you this morning as I headed to work earlier than usual. Cheers to the memories!

"En Tus Pupilas"
Quand tu, quand tu me prends dans tes bras
Quand je regarde dans tes yeux
Je vois que Dieu existe
C' est pas dur croire

Antes de conocerte el mundo era plano
Aunque lo discuta usted Señor Galilei
Y me canse de besar ranas en vano
Pero el príncipe azul
Jamás no encontré

Y así llegaste tu
Devolviéndome la fe
Sin poemas y sin flores
Con defectos con errores
Pero en pie

Y siento
Algo en ti algo entre los dos
Que me hace insistir
Cuando miro en tus pupilas se que Dios no dejo de existir
Tu lo haces vivir
Tu lo haces vivir

La vida es una colección de recuerdos
Pero a nada como tu recuerdo tan bien
Desde la redondez de tus labios
Al olor de tu pelo
Al color de tu piel

No pienses que te iras y me voy a resignar
Eres lo mejor que me ha pasado
Entre lo mundano y lo sagrado
Y aun mas

Y siento
Algo en ti algo entre los dos
Que me hace insistir
Cuando miro en tus pupilas se que Dios no dejo de existir
Tu lo haces vivir
Tu lo haces vivir

Eyebrows!

This weekend I found out that there are certain things in this modern society that can still strike me and make me wonder about my mind openness and acceptance.

Without trying to insult anyone, just want to write about my feelings on masculine facial hair. Let me start by saying that I am not your ‘typical’ female who would spend lost of money in facial products, such as cleaners, toners, exfoliate products, etc., etc. on the contrary I’m pretty low maintenance when it comes to that. As for my facial hair, well it is annoying and I try to keep up with the depilatory time for my own liking but I accept that it might be a little awkward for me to face a situation of dating someone who will take care of his face too much to the degree of having his eyebrows much more nicely shaped than me. I tend to love hairy man (to a certain degree – perfect example: Pete Sampras!). So, I would probably rapidly qualify this as way too much vanity and narcissism on my book. It would take some time for the concept to grow on me if it ever did.

In trying to prove to myself that I’m able to consider and to learn more about the facial vanity phenomenon on men, I started web searching for the definition of ‘METROSEXUAL’ . I had the gut feeling that the this relatively new concept could be the one to blame on this whole eyebrow issue; and indeed as I continue reading about it I’m able to understand and to blame vanity of this cultural shock. I guess now I have to question myself as to really why seeing a man who ‘manscapes’ his eyebrows evokes so much awkwardness on me. Is it because it’s just a new concept? Or is it because I’m envious of men who possess the vanity I lack? – got to think about it a little more. In the mean time, I will continue entertaining myself reading more about ‘metrosexuals’

SCARY THOUGHTS OF A NATURAL EVENT!

Last night, we got a phone from my dad who is currently visiting El Salvador, our homeland, where he told us that he had gone to the doctor because his right leg was all swollen and it was not getting any better. He left a week ago and he was having some troubles already but never thought much of it, yet I was a little concern. This is not a surprise because I tend to get easily concern about anything that might be happening to my loved ones.

So, he is having circulation problems and his artery is now clogged which brings a higher risk of a blood clog to leave that area and start traveling thru his system to his heart, lungs, or brain causing a much more life threatening condition or even death. I have been praying more than usual and trying to be as positive as possible but as anything else the consideration of the negative has been in my mind since last night.

It would be my first time of losing a loved that close to me, my greatest lost so far has been my little angel who I did not get to meet but who I loved deeply before even her ephemeral existence inside me. I have always know that sooner or later death will be part of my life and don’t get to think much of it because it might be a little scary because of certain selfishness on my part. I want to enjoy my loved ones as long as possible and can’t picture my life without them.

Last night, I started thinking that if my dad were to depart from this existence he would do it from the country he loves so much even if we are not there with him in that moment. We would need to go and do the whole ritual of the last earthy good bye for us. Considering this far had never been at all possible before even when he went through chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant because of cancer.

My heart and mind get filled with great sadness thinking of it but time has played a role on me letting myself contemplate death from a different reference point. Why is it that we are not ready for death the same we are for any other fact of life?

Contradictions!

ok, here is my dilemma right now. Recently, I paid 3 month for an online dating service (the e- one). I can start ennumerating many reasons why I did it but I guess the main one is because I would indeed like to find a nice guy to share a special relationship with.

There are moments when I strongly think that to me the ideal would be a very 'romantic' encounter where both of us would know that we are meant for each other ... I know, 34 years old and still believing in fairy tales ... yet I still think love is beautiful emotion regardless of the kind of course the very kind I'm missing in my life is the 'romantic' one. That one that makes us shake for no reason, the one that estimulates all different kind of nerves even in areas we are not so aware of ;), I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

So, I have emailed with a couple of guys and they all have seemed nice but I tend to use the email as a way to let them know ahead of time about my way of thinking and my way of seeing life ... I have very strong political and social ideas that I have notice 'scared' them away, I see it as a positive element but have friends who just get on my case for doing so. Let's not even mention talking on the phone when people you have never met! ... my God!! ... I hate it!

Are starting to see the contradiction?

I'm paying for a service that I don't seem to like much ... many people say it's fun ... I guess I just need more time to find the fun on it.

The Ocean!

Ok ... it took me a bit longer to come back to the world of blogging ... excuses ... well many so let's not even start listing them.

Today, I just want to come back by talking about my recent vacation in the OBX, NC. It was a family vacation and had a great time. It was a total of 1a of us (7 adults, 3 kids and 1 dog - a beautiful Rottweiler), the house we rented was quite comfortable and the space was just perfect for all of us.

I discorvered that looking, hearing and just plainly enjoying in every possible way the ocean gives me a peace of mind and a state of relaxation that last for quite sometime ... ok until I come back to work and have to put overtime on deadlines ... man! I was already able to feel the ocean breeze again.

Waiting for the sunrise next in front of a dark ocean with loved ones next to you is a great experience - highly recommended if you have not tried it before.

Well, got to go back to be productive in something else right now but I will be back soon!
