These could be the best days of our lives.

DEFINITELY. Little by little the puzzle pieces are gathering and I am seeing a new figure, a good one. My brother is off to New York and I feel like a huge piece of my body is being taken. He's going away for 6 months, we've never been away from eachother for that long. But life is what it is and everything happens for a reason. I just hope everything turns out ok as I'm sure it will. Like I said: Good things happen to good people, and goddammit we're incredible people.

This year seems that it has been very bold but if I look at the big picture, is the year on which I've learned the most by only observing.

Tomy, te voy a extrañar mucho, demasiado!!! te quiero <3

Matches For Fire

Everything seems to be turning right. At the end of the day good things happen to good people, innit?

I won't be very explanatory today, instead I'll leave you with 2 photos I took from a cousins XV party and a song.









PS- Let me just say I freakin' loved INCEPTION. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is an AMAZING actor and Leo DiCaprio should've won an Oscar long time ago (not that Academy Awards are that reliable nowadays) but still!! Leo we love you!!!

My heart is a bloom

Fall academic semester is about to start and along with it the beautiful autumn is coming!!! Is my favourite season because is not too warm, and not too cold, only a little bit chilly, a hand-able chilliness. The clothes are prettier, the sky is prettier, the leaves are prettier, even the people seems nicer. Bets of all? is the shortest semester in school!!! Summer is shorter obviously but it implies much more pressure and headaches. Autumn Rocks!!

I'm still doing job hunting but I've already picked my classes. Best wishes to everybody during this semester!!!

California Love

I am back in SD. With no money whatsoever but a heart full hope and a mind full of ideas and goals to achieve. This is a new opportunity that has been given to me and I won't take it for granted. Everything remains the same and I am not complaining. I missed seeing more than one race on a queue while waiting to buy a pack of cigarettes from a grumpy hindu man; I missed seeing white girls with mini shorts, long flowered dresses and big sun glasses; I missed seeing those awkward homeless people at Downtown; I missed the international food and the bad yet respectful driving that american people brings. At the end of the day, is all about the little things.

Parachutes

Parachutes was released 10 years ago today. Hear a song from the show Coldplay played that day http://bit.ly/parachutes10

It's been 9 years since I became a Coldplay fan. Back then I would've never imagined this "indie english band" would become one of the biggest, greatest bands of this decade. I'm a proud Coldplayer and I'm really happy to see there are millions of fans who I can share this love with. I still remember the first time I heard Coldplay: It was 2001 and I was watching the Mtv Movie Awards, Cast Away was nominated for several categories including Best Kiss (Thom Hanks & Helen Hunt) when they were showing the nominees for best kiss, Yellow was played at the background and I immediately fell in love with the song. I later found out that my brother had some tapes a friend lent him with the songs Shiver, Yellow and Everything's Not Lost. Later on I bought the album and by 2002 when A Rush Of Blood To The Head came out, I was a big Coldplay fan already... still am.

Climb Up A Mountain

I had surgery!!!! I won't give any details except that this was my 1st time EVER at a hospital. A male nurse was flirting with me and I must say that his flirtatiousness made me less nervous. Hospitals are not fun!!!!

I'm from San Diego: therefore, I love me some SD bands, my favourite I must say is AUGUSTANA (as you probably have seen already) still. I'll leave you with this!!!

A bit of literature and music.

My brother in law lend me 2 books and I must say they were amazing. Also, I've been listening to The National's new album called "High Violet" I fully recommend it as well.




Plot summary

Emil Sinclair is a young boy raised in a bourgeois home, amidst what is described as a Scheinwelt, a play on words that means "world of light" as well as "world of illusion". Emil's entire existence can be summarized as a struggle between two worlds: the show world of illusion (related to the Hindu concept of maya) and the real world, the world of spiritual truth. In the course of the novel, accompanied and prompted by his mysterious classmate 'Max Demian', he detaches from and revolts against the superficial ideals of the world of appearances and eventually awakens into a realization of self.



Plot introduction

Like The Secret Adversary, the novel concentrates less on pure detection and is more a thriller of the period. It follows the adventures of Anne Beddingfeld as she gets involved in a world of diamond thieves, murderers and political intrigue in this tale set in exotic Southern Africa. Colonel Race makes his first appearance in the novel; he later appears in Cards on the Table, Sparkling Cyanide, and Death on the Nile.

"High Violet is another batch of cement to further supplement The National's already unshakable concrete career," also calling the album "their third masterpiece in a row."


Here's a picture I took a couple of days ago:



Hasta la proxima.

For every cloud there's a Silver Lining.

I've witnessed 2 shootings. One of them I saw a young man getting cold blooded killed by 3 men wearing black leather jackets, black masks, jeans and black boots. Action movies are amazing but once you've seen death it kind of gives you a different perspective.

Chihuahua is a playground for the Drug Cartels and the citizens are just the decoration to compliment the game the play at every single day. I want to go back to San Diego not because I'm a coward but because I have nothing for me in this place anymore, except some members of my family, not even friends.

I've realized that the people who I used to get together with remain the same. have changed and didn't notice it until I came back to Chihuahua. Beach much?

Between all the assassinations, drugs, stupid people and bad music, I'm not exactly sad, desperate or feeling useless. Another parts of my life are strangely getting fixed, things I thought I would've never changed if I wasn't here. For every cloud there's a silver lining.

Will keep you informed.

Hasta.
