How to survive a world full of assholes

I love kangaroos

Soccer Weekend wasnt what i was expecting.

Our mexican team had to struggle to keep the match a tie... no goals... kind of boring actually. I watched it with only girlfriends and only 2 of us were mexican, but the other girls are married to mexicans, and their home teams arent playing so they cheered for us.

Then Italia wasnt as dominating as i thought they would be. The US did play a good match i think.

Then I must say this and not because i have Australian friends, but these guys played a fantastic match. Brasil is not playing good and i think Australia's effort and excelent game wasnt reflected in the score... not good.

Mexico is playing Portugal on Wednesday... at 9 am, so i think we might set a tv here at the office and watch... our hopes are up, if they decide to give it all...

Monday... i dont even know who is playing... ive got the monday blues....

World Cup Weekend

2006-06-16T09:44:00.000-07:00

At 2.00 pm mexican time, mexico will play against Angola... lets see what happens. I will leave my office at 2.00 or earlier if i manage to sneak out... which ill probably do since everyone else will most probably...

Tomorrow, Geez... I definitely want to watch the Australia-Brasil match and sincerely my cheering will go both ways.

And of course Viva L'Italia!!!!

to all the soccer fans, and to everyone who isnt, but like myself are starting to discover its passion.... have a great weekend!!!

Ps. Argentina braaviiisimaaaa!!! Ecuador WOWWW!!!

Today Im BRASILIAN

2006-06-13T08:30:00.000-07:00

And im excited and i wish we had the day off like they do in Brasil, to watch and celebrate the game.

I just talked to my brasilian friend, he said he woke up at 6 am to the sound of fire games and party, and that they have the day off and that they are planning big celebrations. Churrasco, caipirinha y cerveza....

Ahhh im in love with soccer, im in love with Ronaldinho.... (and have been for a while)....

Mexico 3!!!

2006-06-12T10:56:00.000-07:00

Im not really a soccer fan, i go and watch soccer matches just beacause of the beer and food mostly... i dont know a bit about the basics (well a bit yes, im mexican and my dad and brothers and other males around me are way into soccer , so...)

But i must admit that watching the match made me a bit (a BIG bit) excited about soccer and are sooo looking forward to watch the other matches and other teams as well.

Congrats to my Aussie readers on their victory!!!

Im running now since i want to catch the Italy-Ghana match... just to watch some leggs....

(i got the pics from yahoo, and the last one is a trivia... where have you seen that face??!!)

ps. i suck at editing photos

I could have died yesterday

2006-06-07T08:16:00.000-07:00

Thank God i didnt!

A yellow bus was a second from crashing my car badly... it passed by in what seemed the speed of light and as adrenaline took over my brain and body i thought so many things... good and bad.

You die alone... and every day at everytime you can be subject to death... who knows in the most stupid way even.

Of course i stopped complaining about everything... i had been given the chance of one more day (at least) and that is awful good luck, so why bother if traffic sucks or if my bank balance is "funny", or if i was beaten in texas holdem or if i couldnt stick to my never ending diet....

I was so happy to feel the air hit me, and the heat make me sweat and my feet hurt from walking because my shoes are awesome but make my feet blister....

I am lucky. I dont want to die... not yet. I have a good life.

Happy

2006-05-31T09:32:00.000-07:00

Today someone asked me if im happy, and i am! i didnt have to think a lot before answering... im happy. Why? well because of the whole bunch of great things that happen every day.

i wake up not as early as most of my friends, and then if i do its my choice and i use those early hours to jog a bit instead of having to go directly to an office.

i love orange juice, and i can drink a glass of natural, fresh juice every morning.

theres friendly people in my working environment... well... mostly, but the ones who arent know better...

i have good friends, fun friends to talk to and do things with

i can take a nap almost every day

my dog can go up the stairs backwards (a couple of steps only though) hahaha

my cat purrs when i smell her belly and lets me kiss her nose

i . . .

2006-05-24T11:50:00.000-07:00

Thanx AVA!!

I AM a happy person, a good sister and a good daughter, a loyal friend and a faithful lover. A believer and a fighter.

I WANT everything, to have the chance to do what i dream to do, to always have something to laugh about and close people to share those moments.

I WISH no one had to get sick or that yummy food didnt make you fat or clog your arteries. that my dog and cat could speak sometimes.

I MISS my friends who left for college and then never came back; being a kid who didnt have to worry about anything and whose worst thoughts were related with witches and elves...

I WONDER about the most awkward things in the world... (how would someone ever discover hair dye....how would this look like if..., if i had lived in iceland long ago.... stuff like that)

I REGRET calling names a girl in elementary.. i shouldnt have because i actually liked her. i regret not paying enough atention to a dog i used to have... she needed so much more and she was such a sweetheart. Then again i learned from these.

I AM NOT selfish, a loner, mean to people.

I DANCE and i dont care. For as long as im concerned i dance like i knew how to..

I AM NOT ALWAYS in a good mood, lately i havent been so patient with people that are not tolerant to others and I just have to let them know how stupid i think they are.

I MAKE WITH MY HANDS touch the ones i love. i cant cook, then ive never even tried to.

I WRITE but its not one of my strenghts... i prefer to talk and i CAN talk

I CONFUSE parsley with coriander... left and right (thats really bad, but i do)

I NEED a new car, but im not buying one;

I SHOULD call my grandma more often, call some friends i havent talked to in a while, start a new business.

I START new projects... new goals keep me alive and going. Not so many because then i might get all stressed out and then its not fun anymore.

I FINISH but i like to leave the doors open from time to time, ... who knows what will happen or how youll feel later on... i think real ends in life are scarce.

I TAG whomever reads me... after my long absence i might be out of readers :(

An airplane takes off from the airport. The captain isJewish and the First Officer is Chinese. It's the first time they've flown together and it'sobvious by the silence that they don't get along.

After thirty minutes, the Jewish Captain mutters, "Idon't like Chinese."
The First Officer replies, "Oooooh, no likee Chinese? Why dat?"
"You bombed Pearl harbor. That's why I don't likeChinese."
"Nooooo, noooo... Chinese not bomb Peahl Hahbah. ThatJapanese, not Chinese."
"Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese...it doesn't matter,they're all alike."

Another thirty minutes of silence.
Finally the First Officer says, "No likee Jew."
"Why not? Why don't you like Jews?"
"Jews sink Titanic."
"No, no. The Jews didn't sink theTitanic. It was an iceberg."
"Iceberg, Goldberg, Greenberg, Rosenberg, nomattah...all same".

Widdle Wabbits

2006-03-27T10:18:00.000-08:00

A precious little girl walks into a pet shop and asks, in the sweetest little lisp, between two missing teeth, "Excuthe me, mithter, do you keep widdle wabbits?"

As the shopkeeper's heart melts, he gets down on his knees so that he's on her level and asks: "Do you want a widdle white wabbit, or a thoft and fuwwy bwack wabbit, or maybe one like that cute widdle bwown wabbit over there?"

She, in turn, blushes, rocks on her heels, puts her hands on her knees, leans forward and says, in a tiny quiet voice, "I don't think my python weally gives a thit."

Shame on me

2006-03-22T11:46:00.000-08:00

Because i just stole a candy bar.... from my boss's office... and i cant feel remorse. i hadnt stolen anything i think since i was a kid and stole crayons from kinder garden and then my mom made me give them back and apologize to my teacher...

Well, then i stole small stuff from the mini mart close to home, these times (not many i should point out) i didnt tell my mother, because id eaten the robbery already so what would i give back?

Oh and when i was a teenager i stole other stuff.....

Darn i think im a robber.

I ate the chocolate already, it was alright and i was starving, and i saw it laying there like for a week and no one paid attention to it... so im sure it wont be missed.

How to annoy brothers (or others) Lesson 1

2006-03-14T11:35:00.000-08:00

breath really hard when they are concentrating on something. When they notice you stop, then when they forget about it you keep doing it
dont let go of the remote
ask if you can watch a really really important show on tv. when they agree, switch to the Telletubbies (and sing... that is extra)
if they are reading a book, magazine or newspaper, try to read what they are reading, or read the back of it
when having a conversation, say continuously "oh how cool" (or how uncool, depending on your mood)
when watching tv, suddenly ask them: "did you hear that?" and pretend there is some strange noise around... do it continuously, when they look like they are ready to scream or punch you, start singing something pointing at your ear and say: did you hear that?
tell them, after a discussion, that you will fart in their pillow, when they are not watching
tell them out of the blue: what does it feel like, to be adopted
say: oh your girlfriend looks like a hen... and then say something like: shes kinda cute like a chicken kinda... (i love this one)
smile at them, look at them smiling and then say... "forget about it..."

i will continue sharing...

(hey take a look at my new blog pet FEROZ!!! how cool is he)

...we meet again. We used to live together and then we lost track of each other, then i googled her and we got back in touch and now shes visiting. I think this is her second visit to Mexico. When i picked her up in the airport it took like a minute for us to feel like time hadnt passed by. Ok we arent teenagers anymore but we kinda look the same. But then again we are so different. Physically and from each other. Its amazing how culture and family and friends make who you are. And its ok, cause we still like each other. ;)

Im not even commenting on Valentines (darn i did) cause i hate it, always had. i will eat tons of chocolate. Hopefully ill receive flowers... that makes me smile... but then again flowers make me smile every day and even more when ive had tons of chocolate.

2006-01-23T12:09:00.000-08:00

By one of the most interesting guys ive met in here... the Un Updated Man... im gladly doing this. (The tag is in spanish, but im doing it in english, i know the Un Updated Man wont mind)

List of 5 habits i have:

1. Most of you know about my obsession for odd numbers, specially prime-odds... i eat in blocks of odds, read a book to an odd number page, kiss my cat 3, 5 or 7 times never 2 or 4.

2. I smell almost everything... i NEED to smell

3. I usually take a 30-60 minute nap on weekdays.

4. I send lots of SMS messages during the day. Im the fastest at doing this. im sure

5. I hate to drive, im the lousiest driver ever... i cant parallel park and i just dont have a sense of space and dimentions... i cant tell right from left fast enough, i have to look at my hands first.

Ha! now you know a bit more about me. Now i tag the usual: Ava, Wondercorky, and Libelula (for a change) if she reads this.

2006 Firsts

2006-01-13T09:33:00.000-08:00

TLR tagged me. I think this is very interesting.... read and find out for yourself.

Since it's the first month of the new year lets find out what other firsts are out there. I've (TLR)created a little tag to be past along, I will answer first then leave it to three to continue.

What's your favorite opening scene to a movie (it doesn't have to be your favorite movie just cool first scene)? Opening scene to Vatel, makes me feel im royalty at that specific time in history... being in a french castle and being able to smell the food and the grass and all...

First chords to a song? Wish you were here by Pink Floyd and Where the Streets have no Name by U2.

First course to a meal? classic italian antipasto

Opening line(s) to a book? "En el siglo XVIII vivió en Francia uno de los hombres más geniales y abominables de una época en que no escasearon los hombres abominables y geniales." Patrick Suskind "EL PERFUME".
Trad: In France, on the XVIII century, lived one of the most brilliant and abominable men of a time in which brilliant and abominable men were not scarce. Patrick Suskind "The perfume"

First thing you do in the car? buckle up (and check the back seat in case someone is hiding there im a bit paranoic i guess)

First thing to do in a new place? quick cat-scan with eyes, sense for exisiting smells.

First thing you say to your best friend? regularly: que pedo wey (sooo very mexican), being a sweetie : hola linda (o)

First thing you do when waking up next to a spouse or lover? Watch him sleep... you find new details in his face and body every time.

First thing you go to see in a museum? personal effects, like jewerly, clothing, vases, pots... it makes museums alive, knowing that stuff actually belonged to real people.

Now I pass this on to Ava, because she hasnt written in a while and she is awesome and im sure will give awesome answers, Wonder Corky, because i like him and he is a sweetheart who actually does my tags and to The Un-Updated Man, 'cause hes interesting big time.

Amazing Sense of Symetry

2006-01-05T11:11:00.000-08:00

My cat has an AMAZING sense of Symetry. These last couple of nights, she goes to my bed, lays in the exact middle of it, leaving equal amount of space in the left and in the right side.... space i can barely fit in... making my nights a bit misserable, since most of the times i dont have the heart to move her.

She kind of gives me this look and then ignores me and goes back to sleep. She hates to share so i dont really know why she stays... and im a coward and a bit silly because i should put my foot down so she knows better whos the boss here.... this is a bit humilliating... she leaves at 4 am... kind of

Some stupid thougts...

2006-01-03T11:38:00.000-08:00

i wonder at what time ducks wake up.. cause when i arrive at the park early in the morning they are already up and swimming.... perhaps they wake up at the same time i do... and the lazier ones sleep in. (like i do sometimes)
how come some people can eat a cow and not gain weight and some others like me will eat a raisin and it will swell 10000% and go directly to some unwanted areas...
i still regret throwing away some of my dolls... they were too ugly and dirty and old to give away so my mother decided to throw them to the trash... the red-haired one is probably afraid... and rageing with revenge (she was my favourite, she knows my childhood secrets)
i called "skunk" a girl in 1st grade... i shouldnt have, cause i didnt even think she smelled... damn peer pressure... i havent called anyone any name i dont think fits them ever since...
theres a guy at the gym that is not good looking at all but all of the girls want him. he likes me i think so i flirt with him every now and then just to make the other girls jealous hahahaha
i eat cookies, grapes, m&m's or small stuff in blocks of odd numbers, never pairs.... i dont like even numbers. the top of the top: PRIME numbers (i am such a nerd). and i count the digits until i get a digit from 1-9.
i gave some money to an old lady outside of a church (for Christmas) and all of a sudden i had 3 old ladies in line asking for money too. I always say im a Grinch, but i gave them money too... and i felt goose bumps when i listened to some kids with the Salvation Army sing Christmas Carols outside Walmart (i gave them money too)... i got scared cause i thought my Christmas spirit was comming back.... but i managed to scare it away after i walked by the toys section (kids crying and screaming make me angry) and after realizing how much money i had spent with the old ladies and the singing kids...
i should write in spanish... or at least make another blog in spanish... how come i write in english anyway...
i would love to have a southamerican accent, because i think those are hot

(count the thoughts... see?)

New year, new start

2006-01-02T10:35:00.000-08:00

Today when i woke up after a week and a half of vacation (with the flu most of it..), i didnt feel as i usually do on monday mornings... i actually did want to come to work, i wanted to get dressed and pretty and go out and was in the best mood. i actually believe in new starts.

I think this is all a trick of the brain, but it works at least for me. The opportunity to start again is sooo refreshing. and i decided to buy it. im taking it for real... this year is brand new, it has the unique smell of new...

As years have passed, i have decided to make a very short list of things to do or change... so i can remember them and i can at least do half of them. This year:

1. I will be happy for little things instead of getting all bitchy for little things
2. I will look for the bright side of situations, at least try...i think this will keep me younger
3. I will have a fuller agenda, work more, have more fun.
4. I will make my brain work harder... i will study something new.. or ill learn to cook
5. I will try and stop with my odd numbers mania ... i will write later about this compulsive disorder i live with...

Here is some of the last stuff that happened in 2005:

met my niece... shes gorgeous!!! i held her, and smelled her (i couldnt do this right because i had my nose stuffed, but i did)
got really drunk in a baptism party (got a marriage proposal with flowers and a really good speech why i should marry this guy... hey! that is posting material... but of course i said no... cause hes fugly (oh dear, thats another new years purpose, i will not be mean to anyone to ANYONEEEE... oh well..) not beacuse hes fugly but beacuse hes obnoxious and has got on my nerves forever. and i got my flu back, with an attitude... yes flu with an attitude to end the year)
cried some with some tv documentaries i watched when i was down with the flu
almost ate my cat... boredom is dangerous
discovered my fan number one is my dog... she will do anything to be close to me
realized once again that friends make a huge difference and can bring your mood to the top
didnt spend that much money for a change this christmas

whats new so far (2006):

i have a renewed monday attitude, and a new attitude in general
i had tons of emails waiting to be opened (that is just sooo awesomeeee)
my car is so clean, like my soul (oh MY GOD!!)
im dying to see the awesome surprises this year will bring along... i can hardly wait!!

Cruella wanna be

2005-12-20T09:35:00.000-08:00

What do you think? i have the flu and ive been feeling very "cruella" in every possible way you can imagine. the fact that mondays exist and that christmas is so near (im grinchy at times) dont help much...

and I wanted to post this for Wonder Corky who is my fan and wanted to see my smiling face....

Twins ???

2005-12-15T11:52:00.000-08:00

Renata

2005-12-09T11:21:00.000-08:00

shes here already! she has been for a little while and i havent been able to smell her... but i will soon. and i will kiss her and look at every little detail and i will even rock her to sleep, and then miss her terribly when i have to leave, and wonder about all little things about her life i will be missing because we live far from each other, and wanting to protect her from the lightest wind that might touch her.... thank God for little girls.

I promissed to share....

2005-12-07T08:33:00.000-08:00

X-weekend

2005-11-28T10:47:00.000-08:00

I had a blast this weekend. I did all sort of stuff i never thought id ever do. Im very intelligent but know my abilities and disabilities very well. Im clumpsy, trip on my own feet, and im afraid of heights and of all situations that are out of my control and dangerous.

Well, this weekend i prooved im a brave girl. I went to Paradise, and its only 3 and a half hours away from home. I cant believe this was my first visit ever.

I jumped down 7 waterfalls (the highest one being about 8 meters high), i rappeled down a 105 meters waterfall, and i did lots of trecking.

Of course im a bit bruised and scratched (because of the trecking mostly), but im happy. And would definitiely do it again, and again....

2005-11-04T12:51:00.000-08:00

Mi amiga Williepoooh me envio este meme. Ahi esta mi pantalla de la compu, que de interesante no creo que tenga tanto pero me gusta la imagen, me recuerda que la onda esta en la actitud....

Transl: my blog buddy Williepooh tagged me. there is my computer's screen, which i dont think is that interesting, but i like the picture, it reminds me that all is based in attitude...

i dont know who (or is it whom?) to tag... i never know.... and im still oozy with the helter skelter... a bit

Helter Skelter

2005-11-03T11:16:00.000-08:00

Some days are just like this.... and i feel like upside down and then inside out and then back to normal, and then brave and then fearful, and then angry and then at ease, and then happy and at the same time sad. Damn emotional roller coasters leave me alone! Confusion, Hurry, Chaos. I think thats why i took on jogging. Its cheaper than a therapist. (i copied that line from a tv comercial... my creativity right now is gone)

"When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide Where I stop and turn and I go for a ride Till I get to the bottom and I see you again ..."

Dia de Muertos

2005-11-02T10:25:00.000-08:00

We dont celebrate Halloween, we have our Dia de Muertos, with a concept of its own. Love the folklore involved, love the colors.

I will share and try to explain some of it. For us mexicans, like Octavio Paz well says: we have no qualms about getting up close and personal with death, we "...chase after it, mock it, court it, hug it, sleep with it; it is our favorite plaything and our most lasting love."

My grandma used to put altars, where she would set the pictures of our death (we didnt have many at the time). And flowers (Xempatzuchitl, yellow mexican flower used specifically in Dia de Muertos) and some food. Now she is old and she only lights a couple of candles to lighten up my grandpa's picture and my grandmothers and grandfathers relatives pictures (which are smaller and older).

I have always been chicken and afraid of every single scary thing... but this day i actually dont fear death or darkness... i respect it, cheer it, and even dare it... like a good mexican that i am.

I love the calacas (skeletons).... i do love them, as scarey as they might look...

I love you already... i loved you always

2005-10-31T08:54:00.000-08:00

I havent touched you yet, i havent smelled you yet, but i already love you. I have been loving you for a while now, you know Renata? this feeling is difficult to explain. Its the first time that happens to me. hopefully it wont be the last.

Hopefully you will love me too... or better yet: you love me already. I promise to be fun to be around, and i promise to always love you. I will probably tell you right from wrong from time to time, and you wont like that very much, but trust me, its for your own good.

I will also let you eat all the candy and all the icecream in the world i will even let you wear my make up... we will go places and i will teach you why you should love animals.
I will give you magic powers to scare monsters in the darkness so you dont need a night light...
I will teach you songs and come-backs to things kids in shcool might tell you.

I will tell you all the truth about your dad, when he uses himself as an example to teach you stuff. I will let you know that he was indeed a bit of a brat and a bit selfish, but darling, what can you expect of a baby brother whose age difference is 7?..... but he is a sweet kid, has the biggest heart and the greatest feelings. He will be a great father, and you will agree... not every time perhaps, but you will agree.

I m so exited about meeting you!!! so soon now.... come happy darling.... cause you are expected with an amazing ammount of love!!!

your Wicked auntie

For myslef... today (and for whomever needs it too)

2005-10-25T08:52:00.000-07:00

Notte fonda Senza luna E un silenzio che mi consuma.
Il tempo passa in fretta E tutto se ne va... preda degli eventi e dell'età.
Ma questa paura per te non passa mai.
Angelo, prenditi cura di lei.
Lei non sa vedere al di la di quello che da E l'ingenuità è parte di lei... Che è parte di me
Cosa resta Del dolore E di preghiere, se Dio non vuole?
parole vane al vento Ti accorgi in un momento: Siamo soli... è questa la realta?
Ed è una paura che... non passa mai
Angelo, prenditi cura di lei
Lei non sa vedere al di la di quello che da E tutto il dolore Che grida dal mondo Diventa un rumore
Che scava, profondo... Nel silenzio di una lacrima
Lei non sa vedere al di la di quello che da L'ingenuità è parte di lei... Che è parte di me.
(Angelo per Francesco Renga)

TRANSL:
Deep night, no moon and a silence that consumes me. Time passes in a hurry and all goes by, if some... prey of the events and of age. But this fear i feel for you never stops. Angel, take care of her. She does not know how to see beyond the causes and she is naive. ... and she is a part of me. What happens with pain and prayers, if God ignores them? words to the wind and you notice in a moment: We are alone... is this the reality? And it is a fear that... never leaves. Angel, take care of her. She does not know how to see beyond the causes. Its all the pain that screams from the world and becomes a noise which digs, deep... In the silence of a tear. She does not know how to see beyond the causes and she is naive. ... and she is a part of me.

Rave...???

2005-10-24T10:46:00.000-07:00

I take it all of you know what a rave is. Just for clearing it out, just in case: a rave is a party, generally outdoors or in a big industrial kind of building. Several people, different ages, go there to dance or listen to electronic music which is supposed to not be commercial at all.

The nice thing about this all is that no one gives a damn about how you look, or how old you are, or how you dance.... haha so i shouldnt have gone because i didnt fit in, i was pretty noticeable and no one cared, only i.

I dont know how i end up being in lots of places. I think one of my virtues is that im quite flexible and that i am completely tolerant. but this rave thing was a bit too much, not in a bad sense but oh well... Fun experience though. Let me share with you some of the highlights.

i was in a nice dinner before, so i was wearing pretty make up, and my hair was nice and straight. when i got in the rave, i made all what was possible to make my mascara run a abit, wore more eyeliner, and made my hair look messy, all in my face, since i had to compete with rastas and bold heads and the weirdest does ever.
i think i was the third oldest person there. two of the guys i was with were the oldest.
it was freezing cold, i had a jean jacket on and was freezing. most of the kids were not wearing anything but tees and tank tops.
my shoes were too trendy... kinda make me stand out, and not in a very good way.
ive seen some teenagers dance to electronic music at raves on tv. i can copy, and i was being silly. so i tried, and a kid said: "que fresiiiiita!!!" which isnt very nince, not in that environment (i cant figure out a good translation for this expression...)
the best place was the chill out room... nice lights and warmer... and the projections were quite good.
someone took my picture. i dont know who, some kid. i dont know if that is good or bad.
i had fun i must admit. i love to observe, and its a culture with lots of twists and turns this rave thing....

Drink ME!

Ava's Tag

2005-10-19T11:35:00.000-07:00

Here it goes. Beautiful yet "Toxic" Ava tagged me and im doing it: to post the 5th sentence of my 23rd post... this is how it goes:

" I must admit cooking has never been an ability of mine so i did something else like juice or like cutting nice flowers or like coloring a nice card and signing it for the three of us... "

It still isnt, but i love to eat snacks... which arent good, so i eat snacks and lettuce, or tomatoes (i love tomatoes). to be healthier.

This post, this line in particular is talking about team work for mothers day (my brothers and i as a team). we still are a team someway. we might not talk on the phone everyday, but i can FEEL them backing me up in whatever i do. we are so very different, but we complement each other great. i think my parents had a lot of fun watching us grow up.

i have to tag three others, but i never know whom to tag... so i wont. my tags arent that succesfull anyways

2005-10-14T11:31:00.000-07:00

I was asked to post in spanish... and i probably should... since thats what i really speak. I dont even know why i started posting in english... So i was thinking... i have several latin friends, not all are mexican and spanish has the same escense but is way different in every country... in every region of a country actually... so i will give you some "mexican classes" this is not very pretty spanish... some of it will be kinda rude... but oh well... its common language.

Mi mama podria darme un pellizco y mi papa pondria una cara de decepcion laaarga laarga... pero a mi me encanta!!

Ok here we go... Lets start with letter A

A Huevo: Must.
A patin: walking
A toda madre: very cool.. variation: de pocamadre (they are the opposite but mean the same.... weird huh?)
Acabarsela: (always used with negative: no se la acaba, no se la va a acabar...) will definitely regret it.
! Ah cabron!: indicates surprise, awe... kinda
Ahoritita: right this very second (i hate this word... cause its generally a lie)
Al chile: honestly... bare truth i swear
Alivianar: to help
Andale!: word of support or acceptance..
Apendejarse: to become stupid for a while

10 words for now... lets see how it works out. Mis amigos chilenos pueden hacer contribuciones...o las dominicanas que de repente leen aca...o quien quiera, de verdad me daria gusto.

Geez... so much good money wasted in good education and i am teaching my foreign friends the worst words ever.... im a bit wicked .. i dont really care...

Questions

2005-10-12T12:08:00.000-07:00

I stole this from SCORPY , (who stole it from someone else) and since i thought it was fun im going to do it.

Name someone with the same birthday as you.
Emily Bronte, Lisa Kudrow, Brad Hargreaves, Hilary Swank, Henry Ford.. and asshole-Arnold-shwarzzwhatever

Where was your first kiss?
It was in the garage door of my house. No tongue... only lips... great experience!!!...
First french kiss wasnt that good since i didnt see it comming and... well it was.. wet. And outside of a mall... no crowd to see me though.

Have you ever seriously vandalized someone else's property?
Not seriously. I scratched the back of the car of a girl we didnt like in highschool, but im not that strong so you could barely see the mark.

Have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex?
Sure!, starting with my 2 brothers... but i guess that is normal.
And well, not actually hit but i pushed a guy who was annoying me at a disco.
And a male friend made me hit him... i felt terrible because i did hit him hard, but he asked for it...

Have you ever sung in front of a large number of people?
Yes, actually pretended to, in school festivals...
and later on in a karaokee bar, but i wasnt the lead voice... so i didnt mind.

What's the first thing you notice about the preferred sex?
Eyes (eyebrows are like the catchy thing for me in eyes... but the whole thing is important), Teeth (dont need to be perfect, but must be nice and clean, and create a.. "catchy" smile).
Leggs (the calf is the catch here).
And shoes...

What do you order at the Coffee Bean?
Coffee?

What is your biggest mistake?
To not ask "with details" what i want. Expecting everyone will do as i think they will...

Have you ever hurt yourself on purpose?
Not physically... emotionally yes, im afraid... not so many times though... i tend to trust

Say something totally random about yourself.
I need to smell something to fall asleep (something with a nice smell though)
I love to eat cheese, any kind, any time
I totally believe in second chances and in giving the benefit of the doubt

Has anyone ever said you looked like a celebrity?
mm... nope i guess not.

Do you still watch kiddy movies or tv shows?
Not by my own...i need someone to be watching that or to take me to see those movies and then most of the time i will enjoy them.

I must confess i had a Teletubbie period... about 2 years ago when i wasnt able to sleep i turned the TV on and watched them and made me smile and then feel sleepy.

Did you have braces?
Yes for quite a long time, and i wasnt a teenager... i even had a crush on my dentist and i swear he had one on me too... but i had a boyfriend at the time... so... nothing happened. My boyfriend had braces too... for a while we had braces toghether.. and never got in any akward situation... it would have been fun though... "mooom.. ca' u 'elp us?"

Are you comfortable with your height?
Yes

What is the most romantic thing someone of the opposite sex has done for you?
Im lucky cause i have several that i could share, but the one that i like the most is one of a guy i didnt even know. I was having dinner with some friends at a restaurant, and a guy ( he was younger than me) stood in front of me looked me in the eyes, left a piece of folded paper right in front of me, looked at me in the eyes again, then left. I opened the paper and it said: "Im an artist, and i was going to sketch a picture of you to paint. Yet, someone so beautiful could only be conceived on canvas by Da Vinci. _ Matthew_" I carry that paper in my wallet, still.

When do you know it's love?
When you dont want to spend your time with anyone else.
When you dont see the evident defects and think hes perfect, or better: when you know the defects, see them and you dont mind...
When you cant stop thinking about him.

Do you speak any other languages?
Spanish is my native, i can say im fluent in english. I can understand some italian.

Have you ever ridden in a limo?
Yes, and its alright but not wooooow

Has anyone you were close to passed away?
Yes. My grandparents. I only have a grandma left.

Do you watch MtV?
Yes, and VH1. i like them both but i think i like VH1 better.

What's something that really annoys you?
Bad Breath... stupidity... people who cant take care of their pets

Water
Cookies
Black beans and quesadillas

Do you like Michael Jackson?
No.

Can you dance?
I think so.

What's the latest you have ever stayed up?
Too long.... but its not a good thing... one should go rest some then wake up again and keep on what one is doing... im a witch when i dont sleep enough.

Never ever Thank God.

The Shame List

2005-09-30T11:39:00.000-07:00

Now this is fun. My dear friend Aylin did this in his blog (after having been tagged) and he tagged me... its was not very hard to come up with this list.

I had my first 3 picked immediately, and the other 2, were easy i even have more... just in case.

So the Shame File is the list of 5 celebrities/people in the public eye you'd shag; this list your closest friends might even have no idea... because you might be ashamed of wanting to shagg these people because whatever reason (unattractive etc.)

My list is the following (from most to least shaggable) :

1. Adrien Brody: i liked him even before he was famous...

2. Johnny Knoxville... its all about attitude. i dont like what he does in jackass but i think hes a lot of fun...

3. Bob Geldoff... i think hes sexy, i even posted about him before..

4. Ronaldo. I am waaay into leggs... great leggs

5. Ronaldinho. another soccer player, and brazilian... leggs once again and a special charm.. i do like him. love his hair..

So im not tagging anyone in particular. But if you find this fun to do, do it and please let me know so i can go and see your shame list. and laugh for a while...

Who wants to live forever?

2005-09-29T10:05:00.000-07:00

i was driving to my office and this Queen's song was on (Sarahs Brightman's version)... and .. well i know i dont want to live forever... my life is great and i have a lot of fun but i want it to eventually end.. when it needs to end.

I think life is like a race that starts, and reaches a peak and then starts slowing down again, cause it has too, cause you cant be running full speed all of the time...

i dont want to, sounds not much fun at a certain moment. even if i could keep close the people i love it would lose its charm in a given time...

i could never be highlander the immortal... because i dont want to live forever and because im prettier

Look what i found!!!

2005-09-27T08:19:00.000-07:00

This is actually kind of neat, isnt it? well... so now i feel like a celebrity with her own perfume.

I have smelled it... actually i dont like it. i dont like it on me, i had to go wash my hands. .... oh well.

Cry like this

2005-09-20T08:59:00.000-07:00

There's this Shakira video that gives me goose bumps... have you ever cried like this? i have, it sucks... and this song is like a big hit now so i see it every time i turn the tv on... and i see her and ... go check it: http://es.music.yahoo.com/ar-263793-videos--Shakira

the song is : NO

the CD is: FIJACION ORAL

Independence Weekend

2005-09-19T09:37:00.000-07:00

I love long weekends. I think this year this will be the only long weekend we are having in Mexico. Now its over, and all i have left are a bunch of mosquito bites, a nice tan (the right ammount of sun), and a sense of satisfaction and happiness...

Some of the highlights of the independence weekend:

i got to work nothing on thursday. i came to work but couldnt get a thing done....
i went to mexico city, which is lovely to visit but i know i wouldnt live there... its gorgeous but its chaos
i learned something about traffic in mexico city: when you start congratulating yourself that you are driving in low traffic ... suddenly a bunch of cars appear and traffic stops.
i didnt spend "el grito" at el Zocalo. i went to a lounge bar instead.
i re-inforced the idea that a pretty/handsome face is easily replaced with attitude... the right attitude and an awesome sense of humour and creativity.
i can still party for hours... but my body reacts misserably. its numb the entire next day
medicine: good tacos and a drink
im dumb... i cant learn that grass+ evening+pool = mosquitoes
i was asked for my i.d. three times the same night in order to get into the discotheque... first time it was funny (i was happy, actually). second time it was "?", third time it was annoying....
i met french-brasilian male strippers... haha i even got a free dance... (they were incoginito dancing in the lounge)
someone asked if i was colombian... again...
kids like me
i love to get back home and read emails, and happier to see that i was missed
i got an email red rose

some of it... but heres a pic, so you can see i was happy... most of the time

Just because...

2005-09-14T11:05:00.000-07:00

i decided to be a copy-cat today.

So im posting a t-shirt AND a monkey...

there, i got two in a single image.

And some butt, because i prefer butts over boobs....

and because it is cute... and sweet...

peace?

Business Oportunity

2005-09-13T13:06:00.000-07:00

Maybe i have to try my luck somewhere else... somewhere i can be my own boss.. I want to be an entrepreneur and succeed this time...

I got the best idea ever... i know this will definitely work out. Remember my slaves? (i cant remember when i posted their picture, but there is a post (or a couple of them about my slaves)... AVA posted about them too.

Well, i have discussed this business thing with them before. But slave number two reminded me today. Heres an extract of our conversation:

Slave 2: hello gorgeous woman
(i had to share this with you... just had to, love reading it myself)

Wicked: hello beautiful man. if you were a girl you would look like brittney spears in her good days.
(i have to return the favor)

Slave 2: ha ha!! i want a new job... i want to be rich

Wicked: me too. i can be your pimp. you can be my hoe... you know that.
we will become rich and famous fast. you just have to say yes. i promise i will only let cute guys have you. and of course only if they can afford you.
(remember hes a bit gay, as in he IS gay.)

Slave 2: haha that sounds awesome

Wicked: i will pay you fine. And i want to be called "Madame Wicked" (in a french accent)

Slave 2: that would be awesome... i might even give some for free...

Wicked: mmm... i dont know about that honey... if you do a hell of a job i can motivate you and even bring guys like Brad Pitt to you... as a gift.. my treat. He has to tip you though.. or he will miss future invitations...

Slave 2: would you really?..

so...this might be my opportunity... and im such a great PR.... we would be a success...

Slave one, if you are reading this... he would only do this for you... to buy you thingies and have you all spoiled rotten...
and about my intentions: for you guys to appear on tv and be like the Hiltons...

now i cant stop thinking about this idea...

Good Luck

2005-09-05T09:50:00.000-07:00

I have to be positve. Right now i am like the little grey girl in a story (i cant remember her name or the name of the story, im pretty sure it was like a cartoon... but maybe im inventing that too.)

I have the flu. Someone told me once that the flu is the body's reaction, to the confusion of the mind and to grieving (represed tears)... maybe it is. but since ive been crying so much i think i will get better soon... i should not come to work.. i have a good excuse.

I found a bunny. I was working on my computer and i turned to the garden and i saw this little thing moving... at first i thought it was a rat and kinda said "yiak" but then i realized it was a bunny and he was lost so i went out for him and found him a decent home, since i couldnt take it to mine because my cat would slaughter it.

So i got him an adoptive mom and i hope he makes it. He was a hit here in the office.

I think this is a sign for the good things to come. i want to be fun and positive again. i want to stop crying already... but time is running already and it cant go faster, so i know that time will come eventually... i just have to be patient, and i have always been... so no biggie i guess.

Ouch

2005-09-01T07:35:00.000-07:00

My heart is broken. I have a bit of trouble breathing. Im ok though and i know i will be fine.
It sucks to end a relationship, specially if you still love him. Sucks.

He did make me very happy. But theres stuff i wont be having if i just settle and stick to him. I NEED stability and security. And im not settling. I want the whole thing, or at least try to have it. And not just starting with the handicap.

It took me a while to make up my mind and think with my brain. Im intelligent but sometimes i dont see what is evident. And that is a trick my mind plays quite often.

I got there because i saw an opportunnity and i like gambling and i decided to bet my time and my love and everything to the odds. And hey, it could have been awesome, but it wasnt gonna... so i had to back off... before i went nuts.

I think things over and over again. And this time was no exception. I gave the whole situation infinite twists and turns... but the anxiety was there all of the time.

I cant look at myself in the mirror because i look so sad it makes me want to cry...

I am planning to say that i have the worst flu ever, here at the office. so i dont have to get into explaining stuff..

Ive been here before... i knew seconds before it was the beginning of the end... and then i had to breathe in, remember that im a queen and do what i needed to do.

Im not ok, but im gonna be alright. i know that. i just want the hurting to go and the crying to stop and the love to fade...

I want to be able to sleep and to stop all my thoughts for a while.

Im mourning.. but it cant last forever. it just hurts so bad. The good part is that when im ready to get myself toghether and stand up and am able to look around i know the perspective of me of myself and of my life will be better, and i will try my best to do my best once again. and if i screw up i cant screw up that bad, becasuse i have never been that dumb. and screwing up is fine... its fun, it hurts but then again theres recovery.

that stupid cold play song...

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

High up above or down below
When you too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

makes me cry even when im not listening to it...

i want to breathe deep and feel and looke like i know i really do, with peace of mind... and quite sure i did the right thing... maybe a bit too late, but hopefully sooner than could have been....

and i want stupid blog spammers to stop f***ing with my posts!

Go figure...

2005-08-24T11:01:00.000-07:00

I just saw my ex. And i felt nothing. And i already knew it. i dont have feelings for him anymore, but got me thinking... when we broke up i thought id die. I cried so much and felt misserable. And the breaking up was a good thing, since we had not much in common but having spent an awful ammount of time toghether, shareing absolutely nothing but food and some tv time.

Dont get me wrong. He is a cool guy, not so bad looking (i realized this now, i thought he was the most gorgeous man for many many years, now i just think hes ok), and we get along fine. We are happy to see each other when we get to see each other and that doesnt happen often. I have a boyfriend now and he has a girlfriend. We have taken different ways. And i feel great and i hope he does great in life cause he is nice.

Got me thinking though, how life changes... how different events make a complete different story, how sometimes events in life that seem hard, are actually the best that could have happened. Its all just a matter of time, luck, intelligence and... well... so much involved but one never really notices...

but the point is this: i saw him cause i had an awesome business proposal for him. it was an amazing opportunity. i had a guy who works for me quote, and i thought about my ex since he is jobless... and guess what. I got disapointed, because he seemed shocked and with this look in his eyes of: "ok, sounds great in paper, but how the hell am i gonna make it work?" (panicked)... so bad. I think we are hiring this other guy, who is younger, cuter and with the right attitude...

Good thing: he was nervous around me... which is an ego booster...

Dry brain

2005-08-22T09:26:00.000-07:00

I think my brain is drying out. I read my blog and i really want to post something interesting but... i cant think of anything. and i swear my life isnt boring. its just me and my lack of ability to write about it.

I can tell you about my weekend that i did my best to rest (hopefully my eyes will look younger and prettier) and that a shaman gave me a massage with some local rocks and now i have to look for a place to hang like a bat, so my lower back will rest and relax and not bug me anymore...

The days are cloudy, and i love this kind of days in the middle of the summer.

My bf has been gone for 2 weeks now, and there is still one more week to go.

I adopted a 20 year old italian boy (ok he is 21 now), and i discovered id be a riot of a mother... not such a good influence, but i have good knowledge of my culture and are open to learning stuff from others.

I rented a movie for the weekend "les Choristes" and adored the music... i cried some... ive been crying some lately... im becoming quite emotional... i cry and i scream. and i can give the heck of an attitude to assholes, like a dog-looking guy who thought he could be bossy and rude... no, not with me. i can be a sweet heart if you treat me right. At least say "please".. and ill be nice.

Soup of ideas... well at least im back with the posting. Hope my brain recuperates some.

About AVA (part 2)

2005-08-04T10:46:00.000-07:00

her mom made her sing Heidi's song (yes heidi from the mountains... she was a fan too i guess). She carried her heidi's LP everywhere... (when she was little this is... now she carries the mp3 in her ipod hahaha)
she loves to sing, even if she doesnt sound so good
she was quite excited when a friend of us told her:" hey Ava they want you for the musical play... "... she even told her mom i think.. it was a joke.
remember the tycoon? she put up with him because he was interesting... i say it was because he bought her bloody maries.
she pushed me from the bed one time because i had a cocroach stuck in my shoe. i dont like thos things either but she shouldnt have pushed me... im a smaller person than she is...
she ll have chips instead of cookies
she knows my secrets
my family loves her
men go nuts about her. and women when commenting about her will always mention the word "beautiful"
she can spend hours with interesting people... and she will find her way out in a second with assholes.
she gets all heated up about two subjects, (she will deny both of them but i know better): dating a microscopic guy and having kissed him, and farting in my car after a wedding.. hahaha she did i swear.
she rarely wears any makeup
she hates her teeth
she has complaint about her butt ever since ive known her. your butt is fine ava

this is getting long. so ill stop here. there is still a long way to go, but im tired and i have to maintain the mistery i guess... and i have tons of work to get done. see you next week!!

About AVA

2005-08-04T10:10:00.000-07:00

Ava is my best friend. Ive known her for more than 10 years now. We dont live in the same city, but we dont need to. We can talk for hours, or we can be quiet and the silence will be quite comfortable.

I met her when we were studying high school. Im a bit older than her, but for one reason or another i ended up stuck in her class.

Her parents house is two blocks away from my parents', so one day my boyfriend at the time had made me extremely mad and sad and i just needed to talk to someone and i knocked on avas door.

Ever since we have spent a lot of time toghether.
Since i like lists so much i will give you a bunch of relevant info next:

She has a brother (one of the hottest guys in town, too bad hes a baby) and a sister (a hottie too, but she loved to harrass my kid brother and now hes married, so there is no way they'll end up together)
Her parents jog every day, for hours. her dad used to scare me some, since he is so serious looking, but in her wedding i rediscovered his tender side and he doesnt scare me anymore. her mom looks like jane seymour. i love her.
we wouldnt talk on mondays in our way to school, because we both arent either morning or monday people.
she always drove trucks. she was a mexican version of daisy duke... ok uncle jessie
she can dye her hair any color, she will look awesome. she dyed her hair endless in high school.
she used to smoke a lot, it surprised me when she quit, and her will to do it, and her sticking to it.
she used to be a gymnast, a good one
she could beat people up, i thought... but she hits like a girl
i made her fall in love with a guy she had a crush on... just for fun. i would tell her some stories about him and her, and they sounded great like a love story... they went out some after that...
she is an artist. has always written like a pro.
she is quite intelligent, when she likes the stuff...
she cried when she didnt understand math or physics
she cries when she gets upset
she cries when she is very happy
sounds like she cries a lot... huh? she doesnt actually
has a very strong personality, but she is one of the few people in life i feel i need to protect
she wanted to get married when she was like 21, to a psycho (who i actually like, but not with her), glad she didnt
the weirdest things happen to her, like a 40 something brazilian tycoon wanting to convince her to travel the world with him (this happended in a flight when she was supposed to meet me at edimburgh) once again, glad she didnt
her advice is important to me, wether i take it or not. its good advice all of the time
i have no pictures with her at her wedding... but i can remember she looked extra pretty and the happiest ive seen her
she was brave enough to drive all around ireland, and good enough not to complaint about me being chicken and not wanting to drive

this post will be continued ...

Happy Birthday to ME

2005-07-29T11:08:00.000-07:00

I hate my birthday. I think i always have. Its alright at some point but in this special day i dont like to be the center of atention and i dont like to give/or recieve a lot of hugs.

Like today at the office, my boss bought a cake for mine and other employees b-day (july) and i was trying to avoid the moment where everyone aproaches to give you the b-day hug... i dont like that, its like at mass when the time comes to give peace to others and you have to shake hands.... when i was little i always tried to sneak out... my mom was faster though and i had to shake thousands (it seemed like thousands) of hands of people i didnt know... and keep the yiaky feeling of needing to wash my hands...

So tomorrow is the big day... and i was thinking about my life yesterday and i can give you some interesting data of what has been of it, in all these years.

my parents couldnt get pregnant, they thought they werent having babies, but after a couple of years of doctors and treatments, i was finally on my way
my mom had a c-section for my birth
my dad cried when he saw me the first time (because he was so happy, not because i was ugly or hairy )
i was named after my mother, cause my dad insisted
i am the baby of a semi-hippie mother, and a father who left the seminar because he discovered it wasnt his calling
i look a lot like my dad, but lately people say i am looking more like my mother
i didnt cry at my first day of school, because my mom made me promise i wouldnt. i can still remember the smells and how hard i controled myself to not cry. I was 3 years old.
i have never liked school, but have always been a good student (because i have good memory and teachers like me most of the time)
my parents made me go to ballet and spanish dancing clasess. i was lousy at ballet because i couldnt hold my belly inside. but i was quite good at spanish dancing, my teacher was gay and a great dancer
i had to go to swimming classes and i faked sickness all of the time, my mom never bought it
i wanted to be Heidi (the girl from the mountains) so bad... so very bad
i have always hated animals that have feathers
i have fallen in love 3 times, so far... in very diferent conditions and of very different guys
i have a nose job, and love it, and some people didnt even noticed i had it done... its so evident though
my concept of beauty is huge...
i dont want to get old
i have exellent friends... some older, some newer
kids love me
i believe in karma... kind of
i think im becoming a better person every year. im proud of myself

i have lots of plans for the years to come... so interesting... keep me going!

so... happy b-day to me

What a wonderful world

2005-07-25T10:26:00.000-07:00

My brother got married this weekend. He had the happiest face i have seen in a groom. A kid-looking groom, since he finally cut his hair and is skinnier than ever and just has always looked younger. And i think he is, since he is 23 and you could easilly say hes barely 20. Good genes, thank God.

About the wedding:

my family goes totally nuts on most family events. both my mom and dad were completely stressed out the day before. due to the trip, and to the wedding.
When my parents are stressed out they dont like my sense of humour.
When my parents are stressed out is when i enjoy the most showing off my bright and oh so intelligent sense of humour.
thank God i took a second gown option for the wedding, since im short and dress 1 was a bit long and my heels were a bit uncomfortable. And it was really sexy so i was most ptobably going to upset my grandmother, because my nipples showed a bit. and if i got somewhat drunk,... well it would have been embarassing.
I got to see my brothers face when he gave his bride the wedding band. He was the happiest boy ever!! he kissed the damn ring like 5 times and never stopped looking right into her eyes
i was at the church's door with my brother and mother, and a woman came up to us and asked my brother: are you the groom? and i said: no, i am.
the church was nice and little, mass was short and direct.
the bride looked alright, which comming from me is quite a compliment since im a sister-in-law-born-rejector, and i can be a witch.... or a witch-bitch.
my dress didnt let me eat much, i looked pretty and slim, but i could barely breathe. but the heels were a bit more comfy, and the dress wasnt as provocative...
i had to sit next to the priest, for dinner. he was kinda fun. smoked a lot though.
the stupid bride said something about my parents not doing such pretty babies at first, but her luck was such since she got the best looking. i started noticing that her eyes are so apart, like a frog's. and her nose... well pretty is not the word.
my dad and mom were extra happy, they were proud you could tell.
my dad cant dance
i can pretend i can dance
my mom cant sing
i cant sing either
i love red wine, because "Red red wine you make me feel so fine...You keep me rocking all of the time...Red red wine you make me feel so grand...I feel a million dollars when your just in my hand..." haha
im happy, very happy and lucky... and i can still party like a 20 year old!

The song the bride and groom danced was what a wonderful world, and as corny as it may sound... well i think it is.. for me at least, most of the time... i just need to remember it more often.

I see trees of green........ red roses too. I see ’em bloom..... for me and for you. And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue..... clouds of white. Bright blessed days....dark sacred nights. And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world.
The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty ..in the sky. Are also on the faces.....of people ..going by. I see friends shaking hands.....sayin’.. how do you do. They’re really sayin’......i love you.
I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow. They’ll learn much more.....than I’ll never know.

And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world

The Kiss

She is pregnant.

The firefighter was afraid of her at first, because he had never been around a Doberman before.

When he finally got done putting the fire out, he sat down to catch his breath and rest.

A photographer from the Charlotte, North Carolina newspaper, "The Observer," noticed this red Doberman in the
distance looking at the fireman.

He saw her walking straight toward the fireman and wondered what she was going to do.

As he raised his camera, she came up to the tired man who had saved her life and the lives of her babies, and kissed him, just as the photographer snapped this photograph.

And people say animals are dumb - yeah right.

I love Bob Geldof

Cossio

2005-07-12T09:05:00.000-07:00

I went to a place called Cerro de San Pedro. It is like a tiny Real de Catorce. It is closer to the city, but then fewer people go there. (strange i think)

It is a small ghost town around what used to be gold and silver mines. Right now they are planning to re-open the mines (a rumor that there is Uranium there is quite strong) and is now a public issue.

I went there and spent some time in the dessert hiking (im glad my knee is not as sore now), and then just watching nature and its colors. until it was dark and my sight is not good, so we decided to get in the small town and have dinner there, since some friends have told us about a good restaurant in town.

We were walking and some music drove us into a small lounge bar (aha thats right, in the middle of the dessert, with candles, a great view of the stars and perfect music). We ate really good calzonni and drank a not so good wine, but it was alright. a man with the aspect of a bum came in the bar, his accent was spaniard and im not sure in which moment i asked him something and he came and sat in out table and we had a very long and interesting conversation.

He said he had came to mexico for 3 months and has been here for 3 years and a half. the reason, he said: peyote. he gave us some important advice: dont even explore.....
He was carrying his life in a plastic bag. he showed us pictures from his hometown in Asturias, Spain. Lots of pictures of his land, and his favourite views and some postcards. I was amazed... totally different environments. He said his house was open for whomever wanted to go live there, the only condition was to take his art, cause he is an artesan who works with silver and stones. He said he wanted to screw the spanish government and the president, so he was looking for a woman willing to marry him, without even having to have sex with him so He would share his house and his pension and all of his goods in Spain. These because he needed someone to go to Spain and fight for them, since he is not planning to go back soon.

He constantly remarked how he loved mexico and wanted to help the country, doing libraries and schools for his poor kids over at Real de 14. Perhaps if he gave peyote up.. he could because he would be more focused... i told him his ideas were good, and that is all one needs at first, then look for possible ways to get there.

this is just part of all of the subjects we got into... it was quite interesting actually. I didnt think a saturday in San Pedro could turn out like that...

His name: Josemaria Cossio... he struck me i must say....Chachi!!...

Smells

2005-07-07T10:28:00.000-07:00

Smells have a great power. For me that is. I can remember complete moments, conversations, people, places with a smell... or a combination of them.

I read The Perfume a long time ago and ever since has been one of my favorite books ever. I have always wanted to be able to tell the components of a smell, like for example in Edimburgh i could say: old buildings, malt, and U.K. body odor. Cause Ava and I have discovered how people in the UK smell like. Well not like perfume but their body odor. We, like mexicans have lost that power of telling how we smell like, since its a smell quite too familiar. The body odor is actually a result of what you eat and of what you drink, and of Phs. So ...

We mexicans eat way too spicy, and we eat "chile" and onions andothers which are quite strong... i dont know, maybe when i live somewhere else and come back to my country after many years, and only to visit i will be able to smell that mexican odor.

Right now my favorite smells are: italian hands (well one italian in particular), tangerine, green (that would be a smell called "Ireland"), baby sweat (clean babies of course), and my cat after she sleeps on clean clothes... and others...

The Fringe

2005-07-04T13:13:00.000-07:00

Ava and I went to Edimburgh and Ireland two years ago. Its really bad that we cant go every year. At the Fringe Ava would do great shows because that time she learned how to get herself into a tiny box, courtesy of her Aussie friends she filmed so closely with her handy cam. And she likes to sing...

I, would do something to. I could make Dream Catchers in front of the people and disguise in a Native American outfit and keep doing the war shout indians do in old western movies.

I could also clap my hands and move my head in an "im feeling the rythm" kind of way, while ava is singing. Also, i could invite the people to come and watch Ava get in the box... Oh or she could get in the box while she is singing...

We could also work for the Tattoo... since we both learned the program vendors line really well...

Or i could do my bitting tricks, starting on flowers and going on to more dangerous stuff... have you seen the movie Lemony Snicket? Well if you did, does Sunny Baudelaire ring a bell? ha!!

I want to cry now... i want to go to the fringe again.. or live in Ireland.

Weekend, friends and about some dogs

2005-06-27T10:16:00.000-07:00

I had a great weekend!!! I was invited to a wedding and i got to see dearest friends and to have a blast.

I was hosted by the best hosts ever. A i want you to know you are the best host and you are gorgeous. specially when you wear your hair in that retro style. Or always. Thanks so much again!!!

I stayed at Camila's house. Camila is A & M 's mutt. I would post her picture, but i wont, because i dont have one and because she ignored me most of the time, she only paid courtesy atention when their owners were around. She licked my iced coffee and she jumped on my sore knee. It was no accident, she did it on purpose, she saw me limping. She has this air of diva i cant stand much. i can take it only from my cat and i bet my cat would not like camila. My dog would bite her and chase her until she cried. I was sure to let camila know about this when her owners-parents werent around, but she didnt mind, she didnt even turn around to see me.

Ohhh and i found out that Simon (Ava's mutt) is not liked at pet-care, and that he is a bully. One time when they took him to a pic-nic he attacked a Retreiver. Ava heard the dog fight and she was almost crying when she recognized Simon in the fight. J, Ava´s husband, kind of rescued Simon. He is kind of crazy, he does weird stuff. (simon, not J).

I like Simon better now, i even fed him a cookie. It was mine but i shared it with him. I dont love him though... not yet. Or camila.

Fall (as in Ive fallen and i cant get up!!)

2005-06-23T12:03:00.000-07:00

I fell today. I was jogging in the park and i had 5 more minutes to go before i went home, and then, suddenly it happened.

It was like a scene taken out of the Moronic version of Matrix. I tripped, i flyed for what seemed like 8 minutes, then landed like an airplane, my hip bones and left knee being the brakes. My hands are a bit sore but not really injured. My cell-phone is screwed, my iPod is screwed (both still work, but they look like they got into a fight with a mean panther), My knee is screwed (i swear it has small hole that wont stop bleeding), and my heart and pride are screwed.

I didnt cry. I just sat for a while. Like a small kitten licking its injuries... a lady saw me fall (she saw the whole thing, which im sure was hilarious), and stoped and asked: what happened to you? and i said: i lost my pet ant and i have a better view down here. I should have, but i said: I tripped.

I saw my parents and i felt like a little kid again, who holds the tears untill she sees her mom or dad. I said: I fell. And felt like crying. I didnt though...

So much time, so few words

2005-06-22T13:23:00.000-07:00

I had breakfast with a man today. He is a consultant and he wanted us to have breakfast so he could explain to me his business and how i could use it in mine, and how i could help him reach my clients and so on.

He was very punctual, i wasnt i was 10 minutes late because im lazy and silly. But he was fine with that. We had never met, but didnt have any trouble finding each other in a crowded medium-size restaurant. He is a salesman, and you can tell too. He is around 60 years old and he talks and talks and talks...

Before we got into business, he said a whole bunch of things. But one that struck me was: "i am divorced, after 35 years of marriage she left me. When we were done raising the kids and they got married she finaly called it quits". She said: i guess you are never going to change. And he said: no dear i wont. and I say: My God!!!!

Several thoughts come to my head:

1. It didnt take her 35 years to finaly realize he wasnt going to change. And she wasnt going to either.
2. Why waste a lifetime with a guy you dont approve. Because of the kids? is it fair? (to you, to him, to the kids?)
3. 35 years.... that number makes a lot of noise. 35 years are a lifetime and create a history... its brave to finaly let go. it takes courage to start all over, and after so much time ...
4. and about the title in this post, so much time so few words... how much REAL conversations did this couple REALLY have??? so many years toghether and i could bet they had awful communication.... and because after maintaining 35 years of a life toghether a couple of words end it...(not so many are needed anyway...)
5. how fast can illusion and romance fade? when is it that you decide to go on just because you are there even if you are feeling nothing? how strong is commitment sometimes...

Its easy for me to speak, since im not inside that particular situation. But our intelligence and capability of doing what MUST be done, isnt quite there when you need it actually....

I like you

2005-06-20T10:56:00.000-07:00

How do you know someone likes you? (not as a friend but as a guy/girl thing)

I have always been kind of dumb in this matter. I am almost always able to tell my friends when someone likes them, but i have never guessed by myself who likes me, untill someone else tells me and the signals are obvious.

1. Sign number one are the eyes. The bravest tend to keep a certain look, not turning down or elsewhere, but looking straight into your eyes, kind of lifting one eyebrow to make you blush some. The shyest will not keep their eyes on you but will go totaly nervous and blush themselves (specially if you are the one lifting the eyebrow haha)

2. Conversation: asking lots of personal stuff and trying to extend the time they get to talk to you, thats a clear sign i guess.

3. Touch: girls that like boys tend to be touchy... and i guess guys as well...

Cant think of any other... The part of the hunting is great, but im a bit of a moron there though.

Dream Catcher

2005-06-16T12:05:00.000-07:00

Dream Catcher
Originally uploaded by abitwicked.

I bought one in my trip to Real de Catorce. Dream Catchers are an ancient (native american indians did this) spiritual tool used to help assure good dreams to those that sleep under them. A dream catcher is usually placed over a place you would sleep where the morning light can hit it. As you sleep all dreams from the spirit world have to pass through the dream catcher. Only good dreams can pass through the hole in the center while the bad dreams are caught in the webbing and are destroyed by the morning light.

"...The web catches bad/unimportant dreams and allows the good/important dreams to come through the middle and slide down the feather into the sleeper's head. Bad dreams are malicious in intent, or simply unimportant fleeting images. Bad dreams may be very disturbing, but still have a very important message for the dreamer, so that the dream catcher doesn't necessarily get rid of bad dreams in the sense of nightmares, but bad dreams in the sense of distracting dreams that have no significance or meaning to the dreamer. I have also been told that they were always hung on cradleboards. ...Cary Miller " (found in http://www.nativetech.org)

Woooow... call me gullible but this really works!!! ive been resting a lot lately and sleeping as much. When i Wake up im relaxed and of course due to this ... in a better mood.

Native American art and crafts in a small town in Central Mexico... go figure huh? but i swear it has been great so far!!

Real de Catorce

2005-06-14T09:52:00.000-07:00

I went to Real de Catorce this weekend. And i am quite surprised, the place is much better than i had expected.

I live very close to Real, but had never gone before. My parents and a couple of friends said Real was nice and very Mexican but you could come and go on the same day. Then Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt went and made a movie there (The mexican), and after that Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz made another movie after that (The Bandits i guess that is how its called). So this so quiet, so typical "pueblo" became chaos, and i hate chaos when you are not expecting one... so i didnt go at the time.

But now the films are over, and vacation time isnt here just yet, and this city of mine is getting quite boreing and predictible, so i decided to take my chances and go for the weekend, spend saturday night there. And this time my choice was right. No chaos, actually very few turists, most of them european, very few americans and some mexicans.

My italian boyfriend picked me up at 3 and we left at 3.30 almost, with the sun high up and burning. The road trip was alright, thank God for Air Conditioning systems and my Ipod and good conversation.

Real is a small town high up between some mountains, so we had to go up a rocky road, but you know how italians tend to drive..

First thing that impressed me was the 2 km tunel to get actually into Real. I love tunels, and this one is so old and so long... i loved it. Best of all the air in there was cool.

So we cross the tunel and there are a bunch of kids ages 8-12 that ask for money and that lead you into town. (so third worldish i really felt sad, but we needed a guide)

He led us into town and to a hotel. A $13 dollar hotel.. hahahah it was like taken out of a nightmare (later i discovered it could have been a suite for some people, who actually paid $3 dollars, geez). The walls in those rooms were thin like paper and you could hear your neighbors cough or fart, so my friend and i looked at each other and the message was obvious: we have to look for another hotel.

So the kid took us to a more expensive hotel, "with the best view!" my doubt now was... how come this brat didnt take us there since the beginning? so we are walking small rocky streets, up and down, sun up high... lots of horse poop in the streets. We got to the other hotel. the same but with colors... $20 dollars and a view (that i must accept) and THE SHOWER RIGHT UP THE TOILET... no way!!! take us to another hotel, for Christ Sake take us to the most expensive hotel in town!! Where the heck did Julia Roberts sleep?

There were a couple of them, he took us to one which i liked, it was clean, austere but it was like Gorgeous compared to the other hotles. Price: $60. haha DARN BRAT HE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN US THERE SINCE THE BEGINNING. He still got his tip, he walked like twice as much and he was working and well, the little one deserved his tip.

The italian wanted to look at some other hotels, but i guess the rage in my eyes made him change his mind. That and the fact that he was totally tired as well.

So we were already in our nice hotel room and we rested for a while and then decided to go out for a walk. Sun block on.... and a great attitude.

I must accept we didnt match much with the rest of the people there. We werent unique of course, but most tourists there are neo-hippies, with dirty clothes and no time for showers, or haircuts or even hair brushes. We dont fit the neo-hippie look. We both in clean nice desert outfits, both of us four-eyed intellectuals (i am not using the word "geek" to describe myself ok??), both of us with an "im kinda lost here" expression in our faces.

We walked around town for a while, met a group of italians who told us all about peyote and stuff like that. I dont speak italian, so i like understood most of the conversation, but couldnt speak much (or AT ALL) so then again i let the italian know, and we left.

We had dinner in an italian owned restaurant, great food and wine. After that we went looking for something else to do, but the town was death... so we got into a small bar and had a drink or two.

Next day we went to the desert, the trip is fantastic, but we, both intellectuals, forgot our camera so no pics were taken of those landscapes and ruins. The trip to de desert can be made by horse (sore butt.. so no thanx) or by car, that is more like a small truck, one you could have found in world war 1, haha but the trail is quite bumpy so why expose a new car to that?

We came back to town after an hour or so in the desert and in the old train station, my man wanted a sun tan, and he got a bit more than that. and i did as well... sun can be so strong in the desert. So when we came back to town we rested and ate some at a small swiss cafe and watched the tourists pass by.

There are a lot of europeans who have married local girls, so you can see a lot of half european-half mexican kids running around. A lot of older europeans have decided to settle in Real and do business there (restaurants, stores or others). We met a couple of them, and im amazed how they speak Mexican... (i know its spanish, but by mexican i mean, they use the right tones and a lot of special words. its amazing) if you give most of them a bath and a haircut and dress them in suits, you would confuse them with business men, because some of them are quite intelligent.

I definitely have to go back to Real de Catorce.... at least to take some pictures!!!

How much do you make?

2005-06-09T11:38:00.000-07:00

I dont like to be asked how much money i make. I find asking about that a matter of taste and class. Here´s the situation:

I have a friend who is quite concerned about money. She has always been, but now that she is married and has kids, i think she is even more concerned. She is constantly comparing herself and her life (in money matters) to others. She gets quite depressed because she is not able to spend as much money as others and she is always talking about our other friends' husbands and how much money they should be making by now and since she doesnt live in my city and she thinks im pretty well informed, she loves this question: "wicked... are they rich?", "do they have big houses?" etc.

Im single and make whatever ammount of money i make. I guess for most people the money we make will never be enough... because we are human and we are selfish and we have ambitions and we'll always want more. And i really dont need to compare what i make to what others make and get my mind going... id rather have it work and think about other issues, more important or not.... besides, I think that is a way to make you worry because we are competitive by instinct and because life isnt fair sometimes... but we cant question life, only ourselves.. so..

Ok so this girl asks me about the guy im dating. And he is out of the country for a couple of days and she says: oohhh so he will be making even more money, so that is good. Wicked, how much money does A make? Big money huh? huh? HUH?

And i didnt want to be rude so i said: i dont know

and she dares me: so you DONT KNOW how much money YOUR MAN makes?

Darn! i should have said "none of your business" since the beginning!! i answer: i DO know, but i really dont like to talk about money

and she comes back with this one: not if you are talking about BIG money, then you should brag about it (that last part of the sentence i invented... i put words in her mouth, but i know her and haha oh well), and then she says: you have changed, you didnt mind talking about money before...

Darling, i have always minded, but this is the first time i come staight forward and say it. I didnt say it isnt classy and i didnt say other mean stuff because i like you and you are my friend. Perhaps if you werent so pushy or didnt make all this comparisons and blab about so much stupidness i would tell you.. like ive told a couple of people, because to them it was taken as part of the conversation, not as data to be stored to compare in your mind statistics.

By the way, for your brain to work on this one... A makes $..

nah! changed my mind. sorry! not this time! HA!

The hunter and the collector

2005-06-01T10:36:00.000-07:00

I went to the theater last night. The play was called "Defending the cave man", and it was a monologue about the differences between men and women.

He said that the differences are caused by the activities each sex developed in the beginning of times.

Men were hunters, women were collectors, and still are... or at least still behave like that.

Men, like hunters they are, are providers, and protectors... and have a difficult time expressing feelings. They do feel but they dont talk much about that, or pretty much anything else... Their goal is to protect their women and kids and to make sure they provide enough to live and survive. They cant focus on more than one thing at the time. So, if they are watching TV and you talk to them, they take a while to notice you are trying to get their attention. I had seen that with my dad a couple of times... he would be watching a game on tv and mom would call him "honey.. hun... hooneeeeeyyy" and either me or my brothers would have to go and get him out of this tv spell and tell him, while moving him and completely distract him from the tv: "hey dad mom wants you". Another example he used and made me laugh hard cause ive seen that is when a guy is driving and gets lost, after noticeing and after ACCEPTING that he is lost, first thing he will turn off the radio (since he has to focus on his being lost and finding his way).

About women: he said like collectors we are we shop for more than we need, because it can be needed in the future, one never knows. We also collect information from everywhere, and end up having enough material to make our own conclusions and to give it an emotional insight...
We tend to be friendly and to compliment, that is why we expect compliments back. That is why we say to our men: Do i look pretty?

It was like an answer to all the magazines and books that are pro-women and give women advice on how to be pretty and how we are so strong and independent we dont need men and can do on our own. I dont want to be alone, even if im strong and independent. I guess no one wants that. We all need a partner for life.. if he can cope with our goods and bads, and we can cope with theirs ... right?

My pregnant friends

2005-05-18T11:48:00.000-07:00

Right now, three friends of mine are pregnant. More or less with 5-7 months. The three of them will have girls. One of them already has a kid and the other two will experience the "joys" of motherhood soon.

This whole pregnancy experience is supposed to be a trip. In whatever sense you want to take it. I have never been pregnant so i dont know what it feels like. I can only give you my outside and ignorant opinion about the subject.

I can see now this whole thing with a renewed vision... First of all, not all pregnant women look as beautiful. And why should they, they are experiencing changes in their bodies and feeling not great all of the time. I have seen women that look just gorgeous when they are expecting, but i bet they dont feel as good all of the time.

I decided to post about this since i saw Brooke Shields in a show where she talked about what a bad experience her giving birth to her firstborn was, and how bad she had it with baby blues. and short after that i talked to one of my pregnant friends and she said she was convinced that she loved the baby inside of her but that at this time her life was hell, since she is around 6 months pregnant and still feels like crap. And that is just being pregnant. When you are ready for delivery ... that is something else... aaggh

The satisfaction has to be worth it. And it definitely has to be since most of the women i know have been pregnant at least twice...

REFLECTIONS OF MY LIFE
Marmalade

The changing of sunlight to moonlight
Reflections of my life, oh, how they fill my eyes
The greetings of people in trouble
Reflections of my life, oh, how they fill my mind

All my sorrows, sad tomorrows
Take me back to my own home
All my cryings (all my cryings), feel i'm dying, dying
Take me back to my own home (oh i'm going home)

I'm changing, arranging, I'm changing
I'm changing everything, ah, everything around me
The world is a bad place, a bad place
A terrible place to live, oh, but i don't wanna die

All my sorrows, sad tomorrows
Take me back to my own home
All my cryings (all my cryings), feel i'm dying, dying
Take me back to my own home (oh i'm going home)

Its friday, my favourite day of the week and i feel so sad... geez.. i dont even want to think about how this will affect my next monday

Oh mothers day...

2005-05-11T10:00:00.000-07:00

Everyone HAS a Mother. Present or absent but one's mother is a fact. My mother is still here, alive. Thank God, although i must admit i think differently when she gets on my nerves, or when i get on hers. I dont know what i would do if she wasnt around. My life would definitely be lacking of an important element.

We are way too alike i guess. And like poles repel. That is a fact as well.

I have had this conversation with most of my girlfriends and we have come to the conclusion that the things you hate the most about your mom are the things that you end up doing as you grow older.

I dont have kids. And honest to God i dont feel the urge to have them. Of course i want kids at some point of my life, but not now... am i selfish? maybe.. who knows. i know i would make a good mother though, since i have had a good example.

We have become closer with time. I know she loves me, and wants a perfect life for me, but she thinks i enjoy looking for alternate paths and not walking by the right one. But she respects and tolerates what i do... and after all, i think she has started to let go... she has decided to give me the benefit of the doubt... and see how all the years of advice and example and teachings and all turn out.

I love her dearly. She is so much fun desguized in a serious face. I have way more nice things to remember about her, than i have bad. I definitely want to have this.

she can make the sound of Flipper the dolphin
she used to spin me (in a dancing manner) all the way from swimming class home
she would put nice stuff in my hair, with little duckies and bears, and would make my pony tails curly, with only the use of her finger
she would carefully cut and wrap a half of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for me to take to school, since i wouldnt eat a complete one
she tickles hard and laughs herself while doing it
she would be the first mom to be outside the school door to pick me up, since i would cry my heart out if she wasnt
she told me a couple of days ago im "gorgeous". she had never said it before :)
she smells good
she still comes with me to the doctor if i ask her too
she drinks martinis and gets so drunk after the first one haha
i caught her one time tryng to get our cat's paws toghether so they would pray together
she is already knitting baby stuff for my brother's baby, and has bought a crib alreadyto have at home

i could go on and on, now that ive got started... but im getting way too sentimental and ive decided to take Mr Underhill's advice on long posts.

I DO LOVE MY MOM... but didnt get her any gifts for mother's day though.
