Among Other Things

Life just balances you out doesn't it? Even when things start piling up you may end up at a total different place at the end of the day. Well I had a hectic Monday and then Jessie and I decided that we needed a break so we went to get our nails done. She had a pedicure and I had a manicure.
So there was this guy that massaged her feet so now we are thinking that we should go to a spa one of these weekends and get the fully treatment!! Wouldn't that be great? I know that can get expensive but at this point I really don't care. I would love to just relax and enjoy myself.
We'll see I still have to find the time though.
I am currently paving the front of my house and just getting rid of all the top soil is hard work. I need to work on that, of course I won't be doing it alone.
Let's see what else? I have to pick a novel in Spanish for my class and I am not sure of what to pick. I should have a synopsis ready by the end of the semester.
Yeah, good luck with that huh?
I am not sure what else to discuss. I have not experienced anything too dramatic in the past few day except for the stomach pain and nausea but no...I am not pregnant so don't ask.
As a whole, this has been a better day.

Monday..again

Ok so it's Monday again. I woke up this morning feeling like I had just been hit by a bus and someone just happened to shake me up and expected for me to run to my house from that location. Yep, something like that.
I had the whole day planned. Things were going to get reorganized and re-set. cleaned up and everything!! Hahaha..yeah right. So the good thing was that they dumped about 4k on our account and I had until 4:00pm to spend it all. Needless to say I spent almost all day doing purchase orders, speaking to the vendors, and getting everything else approved. It was fun (sigh).
I need to get home and chill for a while. Maybe watch a movie, something that doesn't make me have to think that much. I'll be great.
Tomorrow will be a better day. Well, one can only hope...

I'm So Good At...

Ok, so maybe we shouldn't have gone on a weekday but it was worth it. I took some pictures with my camera phone but I have not been able to retrieve them from it. I really need to start carrying my digital camera around, you wouldn't believe the kind of pictures I would be able to take.
Well, to tell you the truth I was a bit disappointed when I didn't go to the Alejandro Fernandez, Marc Anthony, and Chayanne concert on Saturday night. I really wanted to listen to live music. Well I got to do just that last night at the Broadway Bar. Jawbreaker was good. Good music no kiddin'. (If you have no idea who Jawbreaker is you can refer to the previous post) Of course I was with nice people too so that was a plus. it was fun. I got home a bit after 2:00am like a good little girl. (hehehe)
One of the best parts of the whole experience was that I must have had around 11 drinks now that I think about it...mostly some sort of martini, shots, and the occasional blue Hawaiian and the bartender only charged me $13.50!!! That was awesome!!!
And so, we all survived the whole ordeal and showed up to work the next day. Party included: Jessie, Jonathan, 2 of Jonathan's friends, Daniel, and Alexei..oh and some weird individuals that stared at us occasionally but we paid no attention. So that was fun, unfortunately the weekend will be spent on house chores and working out. Maybe a bit of extracurricular activities that might deviate from the initial plan but I'll talk about it Monday I guess.
Have a great weekend!!!

It's Like...Aaahhh in a Nut Shell

About two weeks ago: Went to Austin for the weekend on a very mini-vacation and it was a lot of fun. I needed the break, we both did. It was very nice to just be away for a bit.
This past weekend: I just chilled with my brother on Saturday (went to Pat O'Brien's downtown) and shopped around and cleaned up a bit to be ready for the start of the semester. It was cool.
Monday: I went to ChaCho's with my friend Jessie and so we ended up at my friend's Victor's apartment with Alexei, Jaime, Mario, and then the other Mario and Robert showed up too. We jammed around a bit then I had to go home.
Tuesday: I ended up watching The Skeleton Key...that was a mistake. I had been waiting for this movie for months now and I just ended up dissapointed. Boo. Yep, not worth buying on DVD. But I ended up at Dave and Busters with the guys and hanged for a little bit. As soon as I got home I just crashed. I had been cleaning the front yard between the movie and hanging out.
Tommorow: My friend Johnathan wants me to go and check out this band called Jawbreaker, they are suppose to be pretty good. Anyway they play at the Broadway Brew Haus so I might check it out after class tomorrow.
Class: Haven't even bought books yet. Hopefully they are not all gone. They are usually not for the courses I take.
Among other things I would like a new bag and new shoes..something casual. Any suggestions?
Other than that I think I'm ok. There is no rush in spending money I really shouldn't be spending.

Somehow

He wore it well,
He tried to hide it.
The question was written all over his face,
The world couldn’t see it.

He searched for an answer,
Around the corners of his soul,
Through the alleys of his mind,
And swam a thousand oceans of despair.

No luck.
Nowhere to go.

The world as he knew it moved on,
Yet he always felt he stayed behind somehow.

Then there was her,
There will always be her.

She listened,
She cared,
She loved him.
She could not always be there.

He wondered and searched.
“The answer is inside”, she said.
“You must know where you stand.”
“Do you know where you stand?”

Until he finds himself,
There will always be the question.
He will disappear in front of the rest of the world,

No one will see it as she does.
No one will know why.
No luck.
Nowhere to go.

The world as he knows it will move on,
Yet he will always feel as if he stayed behind somehow.

Sex & The City

"Maybe the past is like an anchor holding us back. Maybe, you have to let go of who you are to become who you will be."
"Can you get to your future if your past is present?"

- Carrie Bradshaw

I don't know what it is about Sex & The City that is so... Should I say, "Fabulous". One can argue that perhaps this is the single-woman life women would love to have, carefree, with a stable job, money to be going to fabulous parties, not have to work so much for it, and still manage to look flawless even when you are suppose to feel miserable. But I don't think so. The whole powerful professional woman thing is awesome but more than anything it is Carrie's reflections on the day that keeps audiences. The writers of the show do a great job in combining four different personalities and creating a common ground in which they can all bond and be like family. All three lives have just enough drama and passion for the audiences to want more. There is just enough complications in their lives to keep it interesting. Of course, there are also enough involvements with men to help the interesting part.

I love all the little rhetorical questions Carrie gives us every time she writes. Samantha is so bold and crazy (I bet women secretly wish they had the B%*#S to pull off half of the things she does on the show). Charlotte is a hopeless romantic. Miranda is sarcastic, cynical, but deep inside she is a wonderful friend, she is just afraid of letting people in.
I haven't quite added the seasons to my collection but it is something I wish to do in the near future.

You have to figure ... if the world's fattest twins can find love, there's hope for all of us. Somewhere out there is another little freak who will love us, understand us, and kiss our 3 heads and make it all better.

Good and Disturbing

So, a military veteran returns to his native Vermont suffering from bouts of amnesia. When he is accused of murder and lands in an asylum, a well-meaning doctor puts him on a heavy course of experimental drugs, restrains him in a jacket-like device, and locks him away in a body drawer of the basement morgue. The process sends him on a journey into the future, where he can foresee his death (but not who did it or how) in four days' time. Now the only question that matters is: can the woman he meets in the future save him?

That's the synopsis of The Jacket pretty much. I just watched this movie this past weekend (even though I've had it sitting on the shelve for weeks) and I really enjoyed it. It was the usual mess-with-your-head thriller that I love to watch. I don't know but the combination of psychological disturbance and romantism are some of the most appealing combinations to me. I'm weird that way. It was a pretty interesting story actually, no joke. You should check it out if you have some time. It actually reminded me of The Butterfly Effect too, although The Butterfly Effect was a bit more disturbing.
Anyway, I hope you have some time to check both out if you haven't already. Hope you enjoy the pics too!!

Black and White

This is for those of you who think that the world can not be just black and white. This is for all those areas inbetween. What could we do with shades of gray....
This is for a friend. I know you'll appreciate it.....

I need a drink

Monday. That is all I have to say. The weekend was not long enough. This just popped in my head. Enjoy.

Drunk With My Love

Drink our wine from me,
Wet your lips with mine.
Drink our wine from me,
As it runs down my spine.

Feast on our bodies of sweet and sweat,
Let go of your drunken heart.
Let your emotions go and decide,
That there is nowhere in this world you’ll rather be than here by my side.

Let your mind engrave the sweetness of it,
Let your body feel it all.
Keep it in your heart and never forget,
Of time that we had it all.

Then think about it,
You’ll try to remember,
How it felt to be drunk of me.

You’ll try to taste my sweet lips again,
And you’ll wonder where I’ve been.

Think of our story, of wine and love,
Of the world that could only be ours.

You’ll try to remember with her by your side,
Of the moments of passion,
Of the sweet and the sweat,
When you were drunk with my love.
