truly inspired.

he has been my inspiration since day one, i'm just so blown away. i'm so happy change has come our way. in times like these, we really needed someone like him. i think it's about damn time we set our differences apart, since we all have basically the same purpose, we want a better future. Obama has the right vision for a better tomorrow.
he really captured me in New Hampshire, with his well known speech, "Yes We Can", if you have not heard or read it i advise you do. below is a fragment i really like:

"...We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no
matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can withstand the
power of millions of voices calling for change.


We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics who will
only grow louder and more dissonant in the weeks to come. We've been
asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against
offering the people of this nation false hope.



But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been
anything false about hope. For when we have faced down impossible
odds; when we've been told that we're not ready, or that we shouldn't
try, or that we can't, generations of Americans have responded with a
simple creed that sums up the spirit of a people.

Yes we can. "

¿cómo decirte lo que eres?

Eres..
lo que más quiero en este mundo, eso eres,
mi pensamiento mas profundo, también eres,
tan sólo dime lo que hago, aqui me tienes.

Eres..
cuando despierto lo primero, eso eres,
lo que a mi vida le hace falta si no vienes,
lo único, preciosa, que mi mente habita hoy.

Qué mas puedo decirte,
tal vez puedo mentirte sin razón,
pero lo que hoy siento es que sin ti estoy muerto, pues
eres lo que más quiero en este mundo, eso eres.

Eres..
el tiempo que comparto, eso eres,
lo que la gente promete cuando se quiere,
mi salvación , mi esperanza , y mi fe.

Soy el que quererte quiere como nadie soy,
el que te llevaría el sustento día a día ,
el que por ti
daría la vida, ese soy.

Aqui estoy a tu lado y espero aqui sentado hasta el final.
No te has imaginado lo que por ti he esperado pues eres
lo que yo amo en este mundo, eso eres,
cada minuto en lo que pienso, eso eres,
lo que más cuido en este mundo, eso eres.

cleansing

i've got issues with being organized. it's just i'm not! i try to keep my agenda up to date and actually look at what i have to do. i'm constantly cleaning my room up (last up to 24 hours organized). i try to keep junk outta my dear Jimmy (my adorable jeep). i try to organize all the files in my laptop. i'm pretty messy, even thought i'm pretty much used to it...sometimes it gets pretty annoying. so i'm trying to get things together, well at least for some hours.

to do list:

coldplay tribute

there was this Coldplay tribute a few weeks ago, im a die hard fan. so here are some of the pictures i took, also some fragments of some of their songs. enjoy :)

And I'm not gonna stand and wait
I'm not gonna leave it until it's much too late
On a platform, I'm gonna stand and say
That I'm nothing on my own
And I love you, please come homeHold my hand inside your hands,
I need someone who understands.
I need someone, someone who hears,
For you, I've waited all these years.

Come on in
I've got to tell you what a state I'm in
I've got to tell you in my loudest tones
That I started looking for a warning sign

¿quién detendrá la lluvia en mí?

i live in the most beautiful tropical island. it's amazing, great beaches and beautiful mountains. only that sometimes the weather really sucks. most of the time it's -i can't even think- hot. it can get pretty unstable. one second sunny the next it's pouring rain.
we have our hurricane season in august. so we've had some storms lately, one after the other.
it's ridiculous how much rain we've have had these last 2 weeks.
i can relate what i've been feeling with this weather.
all this rain has really made me appreciate the usual annoyingly hot weather.
i can't wait to go out and sweat a little, ironic much?

but no big deal, that's life. we always want what we don't have and forget to see how wonderful what we have truly is. the ideal thing to do is just stop waiting on tomorrow for a sunny day and just dance in the rain while it's pouring. it might just be fun.

got motivation?

so...hmm...have you ever been utterly NOT motivated or moved by absolutely anything, yeah...that's what im currently feeling.
i want to lay all day doing absolutely nothing. as if life would stop for me, for just a minute.
i'll have to put myself together and do whatever i got to do nevertheless.
sucks.
and just can't understand the reason why, i've been sorta happy lately (most of the time), i've been okay with things and accepted things and smiled a lot, laughed too much.
so why can't i get the drive to do anything at all?
is there something that im missing and i don't even know?

it's been a while

it took me a while, but i'm here.
for good.
...i've missed you, much

thank you.

Don't go thinking I'm not thankful,
'Cause me, I've got my hands full of good things, oh
And I hope I can give back
A little bit of what you've given me
So thank you for standing right by me
So thank you for being behind me
And watching me grow and letting others know
That you still believe in what I'll be.
(Christina Aguilera - Thank You)


*******
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
the morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey,
but your picture on my wall
it reminds me that it's not so bad
it's not so bad

I drank too much last night, got bills to pay
my head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today
I'm late for work again
and even if I'm there, they'll all imply that I might not last the day
and then you call me and it's not so bad
it's not so bad and

I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life

Push the door, I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and through
then you handed me a towel and all I see is you
and even if my house falls down now, I wouldn't have a clue
because you're near me and

I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life
(Dido - Thank You)

agradecida.

Agradecida; spanish for grateful, "Feeling or showing appreciation for kindnesses or benefits; thankful."
what a better day to let those loved ones know how grateful i am to everything they have done for me. this has been a crazy, painful year...but there were those people that made each day a little less worse. i cant fit into words how grateful i am. THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. your acts shall not be forgotten anytime soon. the tiniest things made a huge difference in my life.
im so lucky to have such amazing friends in my life. yes, i do believe friends are Gods gift to us.
we must cherish them, love them and be there from them always, unconditionally.
to those friends that i made wonderful memories with. some of those arent as close as we used to, but i still appreciate the friendship we had; you must know you left a footprint in my life. its not that we found better friends, its just that was our time to be...and nothing can last forever.
to those that made it through all this time. thank you for sticking in my life...no matter what, through thick and thin. for those that came into my life, that has been a blessing. for the memories to come. i love you all. and im so grateful for people like you in my life. we tend to forget about the things we have, and moan over the things we dont. but today, i realized how lucky i really am. when im feeling like im having really bad luck, you come along and reaffirm i will be ok, no matter what...because ive got wonderful people by my side.

im grateful for the laughter, for the inner jokes, for making me cry with laughter, filling my life with joy. for just being silly with me.

for the shoulder when i cried, for crying with me in the school hallways and not let me look ridiculous all by myself.

for accepting me and being there even if you didnt not understand me.

for sharing your snacks with me..we got so hungry..anxiously waiting the clock to hit 11am.
for fighting with me; when the teacher wansnt been fair...you stood up with me and fought, loud and proud.

for carrying me 6 floors when i couldnt walk; for carrying my bookbag; for pushing people out the way so i could get to the classroom on time.

for helping me study for exams; for having enough patience to explain the really hard calculus problems; for slipping me a piece of paper when i couldnt get the right answer haha.

for REALLY understanding how sarcastic i can be, other people just missunderstood me -_-

for covering for me...always.
for giving me all the support i needed.

for noticing when i missed a day or two at school and caring enough to ask "is everything okay?"

for giving me tons of rides, where i needed to go.

for giving me hearts, flowers and chocolates every valentines, for giving me candy every halloween, among every other holiday.


in conclusion...thank you from the bottom of my heart.
thanks for caring and loving me.
i appreciate it all, i love you all :)

just happy

so, im h a p p y (totally unexpected).
wow..feels great to say it. it makes me a little extra happier to actually say it and believe it.
no, nothing spectacular happened recently.
nothing out of the ordinary.
i did not find mr. right, i did not win a million bucks, nada - nothing.
somehow ive managed to block all the negative stuff around me and just be at peace (suggest you try it too).
im so happy i could cry.
well, ive managed to control my anger. my anger towards life, towards stupid people; i just forgot about the things that make me angry (atleast for a while). i just figured it wasnt worth my time.

these past few days have been pretty (scrach that, VERY) rainy.
its been kinda crazy, i was checking on weatherchannel, they said its gonna be this stormy up until next week (sucks).
a large part of the city was without energy (including myself).
it was pretty annoying at first, but its good to let all the electronics aside for a while.
we tend to forget there was life before technology(we sure CAN live without it, we just like everything easy and we like being too comfortable).
we - humans depend way too much on all this tecnology nonsense.
which i think we should try to work on.
we should try to live more at harmony with nature (stop abusing the hell out of it).
i just cant seem to understand...
why do we need cars to get to the corner? (cant you just walk?)
why do we need a computer to look up ANY information? (i mean, sure..i understand its faster..but its not that hard picking up a book, the way people did it only 10 years or so ago)
we usually use the phone or internet to keep in touch, how about a nice get together from time to time? i know we dont have that much time, we are too busy all the time.
but even if we were given more hours in a day...we'd still be too busy.
we should never forget to relax, this is why death caused by stress has been increased.

i mean, do not get me wrong...technology has helped humanity as much as its done its damage (everything has two sides).
and i do appreciate technology...but i still do remember to do things the old way.
we must never forget to go out there, take a walk, breathe, relax and of course appreciate the simple things in life.
