The Power Of Words

Good Bones - make something great from all the bad.

2019-04-05T00:37:00.003+01:00

Hi guys, it’s been a while since we talked. And you know that I don’t write if I don’t have something worthwhile to tell you or speak about. So here it goes...
The other day I was watching one of my favourite tv shows and they happened to read a poem that gave me a lot to think about. So we usually as a whole, as a society tend to think positively and learn from the bad... well that is what we always try to achieve, what we dream ourselves capable to be 100% of our time. Sometimes it is like that, but sometimes we are kind of grim and sad. Sometimes we are completely negative and we miss that which is good, even if it is small. So what we as a whole should be doing ( and this is my personal opinion, nothing else) is trying to see the whole picture and to think outside of the box. That is what this poem that I hear made me think about. That there are bad things but there also good things and that we have to observe everything, see the whole picture of our lives and above all focus in the good stuff. On how we can make our world and the world of the people around us better. So here is the poem:

Good Bones

BY MAGGIE SMITH

Life is short, though I keep this from my children.

Life is short, and I’ve shortened mine

in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways,

a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways

I’ll keep from my children. The world is at least

fifty percent terrible, and that’s a conservative

estimate, though I keep this from my children.

For every bird there is a stone thrown at a bird.

For every loved child, a child broken, bagged,

sunk in a lake. Life is short and the world

is at least half terrible, and for every kind

stranger, there is one who would break you,

though I keep this from my children. I am trying

to sell them the world. Any decent realtor,

walking you through a real shithole, chirps on

about good bones: This place could be beautiful,

right? You could make this place beautiful.

So tell me what you think about this. You guys know how much I love to hear from you and your different opinions and ideas.
Well... guess I will see you around.
Bye now
Caro.

Don't Judge a Story for its Retelling

2016-11-01T12:36:00.000+00:00

Today, I finished reading one of those books that achieve the impossible.
You see... I am one of those people that sometimes can be completely overtaken by a book (sometimes even a movie). And in the last few days that was exactly what has happened to me.
Now, don't hate me or anything.... this is my first real review of a book, and that is because I felt really compelled to write about my feelings while reading it.
The book that I am talking about is CINDER & ELLA by Kelly Oram.
But lets start at the very beginning... in order to do that I need to state some facts:

1- I am a bookworm: I almost literally live reading books.

2- I am highly judgmental and very choosy of what I read. I can't pick up anything and read it. The summary has to trapped me first, no mater what.

3- I pretty much look down most of the classic's retellings that I encounter when browsing the web or the libraries for new stories to read. (don't misunderstand me, I love classics like Cinderella, the Beauty and the Beast and Snow White. But books with always the same kind of obstacles for the heroine, at least for me, given a little time, become boring).

4- In order for a book to be good has to make me want to keep reading it instead of going to sleep, even if I have to force my eyes to stay open.

So, when I came upon this book on Goodreads, I was a little skeptic. You know, being a retelling of Cinderella and everything. I though that this would be another story where you can find the poor girl, with the evil stepmother, the two evil stepsisters and what in my view is the most irritating thing of all: not knowing the identity of the man or woman (whichever maybe the case) that you will fall in love with.

Ha! I was so wrong!!! From the very beginning, this book entrapped me. I couldn't escape it, even if I wanted to. And there where times when I wanted to stop reading and think of something else, because at some point I felt so in tune with the main female character, that when she felt like crying I WAS CRYING.

Whenever she felt a lump in her throat, I felt it too. whenever she was depressed, I was too; and when she was finally happy I was too. I felt like I understood her completely, not something that happened to me with characters a lot.

Sometimes I wanted to stop, because I was crying while reading the book or laughing out loud in public. It was really embarrassing, it wasn't just a smile on the train from work, like always, but a laugh that all the passenger could hear. I AM BEING SERIOUS. HONEST TRUE EVER!!
Even though, I also have to say that being from two points of view was a turn down in some part of the book. Don't misunderstand me, both lead characters were complex, interesting and with their depth. But, when I was crying, so com-penetrate in Ella's story, the book changes chapters and lead me to Cinder's (Brian) Story were you can find the typical Hollywood problems: the fame, the struggle for power and what I always hated: the biatch that always tries everything to separate the two leads in love, turning some parts of the book in a big boring drama, and not in what for me generally was: a truth life drama. Those which are really worthy of your time.
But well, everything has its goods and bads.
Another point that believe that I should mention is that while enjoying so much the story, I was expecting a little more of the end. For me, it was a little to simple; I wanted more. Maybe it was my desire to keep myself inside Cinder and Ella's story. But.... you can't always get what you want....
Basically, you don't get anything like a Cinderella story or something like that. What you do get is a lot o family drama, getting to know one another and yourself. Coping with a lot of bulling, a life with scars and disabilities, and in the middle of all of that: knowing who your true friends are.
You don't have cliches in this story, just the ones that sadly are part of everyone real lives.
Summarizing, I loved it. I cried, laughed have lumps in my throat and grew with Ella, more than everything. This books was one that when reading it, I could feel it too.
Below you have the summary if you are interested:

It’s been almost a year since eighteen-year-old Ella Rodriguez was in a car accident that left her crippled, scarred, and without a mother. After a very difficult recovery, she’s been uprooted across the country and forced into the custody of a father that abandoned her when she was a young child. If Ella wants to escape her father’s home and her awful new step family, she must convince her doctors that she’s capable, both physically and emotionally, of living on her own. The problem is, she’s not ready yet. The only way she can think of to start healing is by reconnecting with the one person left in the world who’s ever meant anything to her—her anonymous Internet best friend, Cinder.…

Hollywood sensation Brian Oliver has a reputation for being trouble. There’s major buzz around his performance in his upcoming film The Druid Prince, but his management team says he won’t make the transition from teen heartthrob to serious A-list actor unless he can prove he’s left his wild days behind and become a mature adult. In order to douse the flames on Brian’s bad-boy reputation, his management stages a fake engagement for him to his co-star Kaylee. Brian isn’t thrilled with the arrangement—or his fake fiancée—but decides he’ll suffer through it if it means he’ll get an Oscar nomination. Then a surprise email from an old Internet friend changes everything.

Try, try and keep trying :)

Sometimes we also have good days. You don’t know when will it hit you, but a day of good mood is one the stuff that dreams are made off.

Days when you say to yourself: no matter what I will never give up on anything.

Well, that day is today.... At least for me it is.!!!

“I won’t give up, no, I won’t give in till I reach the end and start again...!”

That is what is in my head right this moment. And I bet that you know that phrase, Right? ;P

Life can be awful, can be marvelous or even some in-between. But what we have to keep in mind is to never give up. At first, things can be difficult, or even seem impossible. But, if we put every thing we have in us, we will reach our dreams.

I am following my dream. Even thought is complicate to reach, I keep going. I already have the NO, so I am going for the YES.

And I will keep going till the day I die. ‘cause nothing and no one can bring me down. At least no for a long time. If I fall down I will always get up.

As long as I have my imagination and my family standing by my side I am capable of of getting anything I want and dream about.

Today I feel good. Maybe spring and summer are at the corner, or maybe I just know that people will try to bring me down but they are nor going to accomplish anything of the sort.

I want to sing and dance and smile and laugh because of nothing. Life is good. And as long as I keep thinking that it will always be good, even thou I can and I am going to stumble.

Through think and thin, through heaven and hell I am going to keep going.

That is my motto.

Breathe, keep Calm and keep going just being true to yourself

What happen when you hate you work? When you feel that most of the time you are treated like a lesser punching bug? Moreover, what happen when you feel that you are lost? When you do not understand most of the things that you are suppose to work with?

Actually you end up hating the majority of the hours of you day.

To be more specific and in order for you guys to better understand the situation, let me start at the beginning.

Life in general is not easy. We all know that, right? Even more when you choose a university course which does not permit you to develop in many different areas. But guide you to one or two path at most. That being said, I want to clarify that I studies International Relations and don’t want to become a diplomat. I like the idea of working as a political annalist, but not for a determined government. - In our country, they changed constantly and they differ in theirs ideas too much for my taste. - So that’s not even on my mind.

So what happens when you like social studies but you don’t have anything related to work on? And worst, you need to work? ‘Cause you need the money.

You end up working in whatever you can find or wherever you are accepted.

In my case, that is an administrative position at a company which main topic is natural sciences. The opposite of what I like.

Yes, my mom is a doctor, so I am able to understand some of the things that I have to do. But is part of my being as a social sciences student, to ask the why of everything, to find the causes and consequences in any circumstance. Never to just accept things as they are because. So, when I start asking questions and the answers don’t come, or they ones I got are not enough, the problems arise. This situation reaches a point where the people who I am working with, tell me that I am insufferable and to just shut up – sometimes with others words - or simple enough they do not talk to me and make angry faces. This ends creating an uncomfortable work environment.

That is when I ask myself what am I doing here?

Sometimes is even worst. Obviously, everyone has it bad days and sometimes they use another person as a punch bug. But lately, there has been a lot of fighting between my boss and other important members of the company and in the end I am the usual punching bug. If is not because I am too sleepy in the morning and do not talk enough, ‘cause I talk too much. Or my view of the universe is too closed and my opinions and ideas too shorts. Or simply because I am such an innocent in my way of understanding thing that it cannot be possible. They are always telling me “Te falta y te falta mucho” – you still have a long way to go to understand things. But if understanding means to learn how to have some malice in me, how to be sometimes a bad person I don’t want to understand, I want just to be me, no matter what.

Recently I read something about being a punching bug, it said: “be prepared to respond and not react to their behaviors. Remember the KISS method – Keep It Simple Sally. Focus on the one thing that you can do either at the time or later if you choose to, in order to have control over how you want to respond and not react. It’s okay to calmly say to that person something like:” I’ll have to get back to you on that.” Don’t take it personal, it’s their stuff to own. So let them do just that and you learn how to respond and not react. It may not be easy, but it is simple.”[1]

That is the reason why I wrote this, to focus on what I can do and to not pay attention to people who want to change me.

Dejate de Boludear y Pensa en lo que Realmente Importa

2016-08-18T01:17:00.000+01:00

¿Cuántas veces pensaste “¿por qué a mí?” o “¡no es justo!”? ¿Cuántas veces te dijiste a vos mismo “¡todo esto es una mierda, me quiero ir de acá!”? ¿No fuimos nosotros mismo los que dijimos en una misma oración “¡todo puede ser mejor! y ¡que h de p, mira lo que hizo!”?

La vida puede que nos haya sido fácil o nos haya dado palo tras palo. Puede que estemos peleados con alguien a quien queremos con toda el alma, puede que tengamos al lado a una persona a la que no podemos ver, que no aguantamos, pero que necesitamos, o incluso puede ser que los que amamos ya no estén físicamente con nosotros.

Tantas cosas pueden ser.

Tantos escenarios pueden existir.

Están los que creen que todo esta escrito, que nuestros destinos están echados y que no importa lo que hagamos ya todo esta dicho.

Hay quienes solo creen en el libre albedrío, en crear nuestra propia suerte, y hay quienes piensan que ambas opciones son posibles; que creen en un balance de ambas a lo largo de nuestra vida.

Yo, personalmente me posiciono en el segundo grupo, creo que uno es artífice de su propio destino

Ahora bien, y si dejamos de mirar introspectivamente y miramos un poco al que tenemos al lado. ¿Cómo es esa persona? ¿Somos capases de describirla? ¿La conocemos?

Desde hace meses que nos importan los debates de si gana uno o el otro en política, si uno es oligarca, de derecha y el otro se preocupa por el pueblo; o, si uno es un chorro, que afano hasta el hartazgo y el otro viene a dar libertad de prensa, a ajusticiarlos. Nos preocupamos de si un programa cómico ridiculizo a una figura importante de una manera completamente despectiva e impensable, escuchamos las críticas los sábados a la noche, los Domingos al mediodía, y vemos cuánto se robo al pueblo los Domingos a la noche. Otros ven fútbol todo el día, pensando si River o Boca gano, o sí se jugo o no el clásico de Avellaneda.

Sería bueno parar un minuto en nuestras vidas y apreciar lo que tenemos y no tan solo, añorar lo que no.

Mirando a nuestro alrededor, podemos observar que hay cosas peores de las que nos han ocurrido a nosotros mismos.

Yo por ejemplo, me acuerdo de la impotencia, la rabia y frustración que sentí un día que me robaron. Me acuerdo perfectamente que pensaba: “¿que? No, me están robando, esto es mío (refiriéndome a mi cartera con mi libros de estudio adentro), ¡Salí de acá pedazo de H de P!” Luego, cuando me calmé, llego la impotencia y la tristeza, no tenia nada de valor para otros, pero si de valor para mí, como una foto de mi papá que ya no esta conmigo. Impotencia y rabia pensando ¿que podríamos hacer mejor con el país que tenemos para que cosas así no ocurrieran.?

Hay gente que hace chistes de valijas llenas de dinero escondidas en conventos, mientras otros tiran piedras a autos de personajes políticos a los cuales no quieren en el poder.

Hay quienes eligen izquierda, otros derecha, ¿y el centro y el balance? ¿Donde quedo el respeto al otro, la aceptación de las diferencias? ¿Dónde quedo el ir de frente y no dar apuñaladas por la espalda? ¿Dónde quedo el confiar en la palabra del otro y no tener que dejar todo por escrito?

Ahora yo pregunto ¿hay una grieta en nuestro país? ¿Se pelean por ideologías amigos con amigos, hermanos con hermanos, padres con hijos?

No lo sé y tampoco voy a intentar encontrarle una respuesta, ya que es un tema muy espinoso. Mi objetivo escribiendo esto, es centrar nuestra atención a otros temas de importancia.

El otro día pude escuchar un par de canciones que me hicieron pensar sobre varias cosas, pero por sobre todo en el egoísmo y excentricismo de los seres humanos. Mientras nosotros despotricamos contra unos y otros, (supuestamente en nombre de la patria) hay quienes con el frió del invierno duermen y mueren en la calle, hay quienes pierden sus casas (o incluso la vida) por guerras o desastres naturales, hay quienes lo arriesgan todo por un atisbo de algo mejor, hay quienes eligen matar y morir por un Dios u otro, sin nosotros entender el motivo de su accionar.

“Yo soy Igual a ti, tu eres Igual a mi”[1] dice Diego Torres en una de sus canciones o también “si cada lagrima te hace más fuerte, muerde la vida con uñas y dientes…. Si cada piedra marca tus rodillas, si la ilusión se convierte en cenizas, hoy puede ser, que todo empieza a cambiar, y lo mejor está por llegar”[2]

Alicia Keys dice: “…. Hablemos de lo que nos toca, mi corazón, el tuyo. Hablemos, hablemos acerca de vivir, que tenemos suficiente de morir…. Demos más, perdonemos más; nuestras almas se unen para que podamos amarnos entre nosotros…”[3]

Así sucesivamente, si nos ponemos, podríamos encontrar miles de canciones que hablan de temas parecidos; pero el fin es el mismo; aferrate a la vida, no pierdas el tiempo en boludeces, sin apreciar lo que ya tenés. Mira a tu alrededor, cambia tu mundo para mejor, y si la peleas, hacelo con honestidad, de frente, con el corazón y diciendo “acá estoy yo, esto es lo que soy”

Guerras en todo el mundo, atentados terroristas, refugiados de la violencia que perdieron todo, gente que lo deja todo en medio del mediterráneo por el sueño de un mundo mejor. Discusiones y acusaciones por diferencias políticas, pobreza, hambre e ignorancia. Tanta mierda y en medio de eso…los seres humanos, nosotros, intentando vivir como podemos. Como dijo el periodista Alfredo Leuco el lunes 15 de agosto de 2016 en su columna de la radio: “…para morir bien hay que vivir bien. Que cada minuto valga la pena. Que no aflojemos nunca en la batalla por ser felices y hacer felices a nuestros semejantes. Solo se trata de vivir bien para morir lo más sano posible. Sólo se trata de vivir, antes de que sea demasiado tarde para lágrimas.”[4]

[1] Iguales de Diego Torres
[2] La vida es un Vals de Diego Torres
[3] “Let's talk about our part. My heart to your heart. Let's talk about, let's talk about living, had enough of dying; Not what we all about. Let's do more giving, do more forgiving, yeah. Our souls are brought together, so that we could love each other, sister” Fragmento de la canción We Are Here de Alicia Keys.

The End of Something and the Beginning of Something Else

2013-03-11T16:16:00.001+00:00

Ok, este post va a ser mitad y mitad, un spanglish o algo asi. Por donde empezar? bueno, empezemos por el fin, termine de trabajar el viernes, me despedi de un monton de gente re copada y buena onda que conoci en este viaje, y a ellos es a los que voy a extrañar, no al trabajo. jaja. Ahora me estoy llendo para New York y dentro de una semana y media vuelvo a casa. Empieza algo nuevo, es verdad, me voy sola por completo a Nueva York a Recorrer y a hecer el viaje que realmente esperaba, por que si bien la experiencia del trabajo, y estos tres meses aca me sirvio para crecer un monton, lo que yo realmente esperaba era esta ultima semana y esta parte del viaje en particular.
I'm exited to go there. These last days I was continuously saying that I couldn't believe that this is almost over, the best part is yet to come, but most of this travel is really over. I don't regret anything of what I did and I learned a lot. I grew a lot too. I think that at some point I changed the way of viewing the world and myself, I thing that at some point I finally found myself. The plus of all this was that I made a lot of new and good friends and I learned how to Snowboard. THAT WAS REALLY FUN AND AMAZING!!! Jaja, so to end this post, I'm gonna give you, guys a song that speaks of all this stuff, about looking for something and going back home. This is Vuelvo a Casa, by Teen Angels:

Me fui tan lejos
buscándome
y estaba en casa
lo que soñé
me fui corriendo
tras un tal vez
y no te hallé

Me fui siguiendo
una ilusión
me fui dejando
mi último adiós
me fui creyendo
en otro amor
me fui perdiendo mi corazón

Donde hay esperanza
está mi casa
donde hay amor
está mi casa
donde estas vos
está mi casa
y al final yo
vuelvo a casa

Me fui sintiendo
un gran dolor
me fui llorando
por este amor

Me fui buscando
algo mejor
volví a mi mundo
y volví a vos

Donde hay esperanza
está mi casa
donde hay amor
está mi casa
donde estas vos
está mi casa
y al final yo
vuelvo a casa

Donde hay esperanza
está mi casa
donde hay amor
está mi casa
donde estas vos
está mi casa
y al final yo
vuelvo a casa
vuelvo a casa
vuelvo a casa

The Songs That Made Me Who I Am Part 2

2013-03-10T03:39:00.001+00:00

CUAL (Teen Angels)
Para elegir, hay que saber cual es el deve y el haber.
Hay que mirar de frente al sol, Sentir a pleno el corazon.
Para vivir, hay que correr el riesgo de poder perder.
Equivocarse hasta caer, llegar al fondo de mi ser.
¿Cual es costo de ganar?
¿Cual es el miedo de perder?
¿Cual la carrera? ¿Cual la llegada?
¿Cual el camino y cual la cortada?

Si me animo y si no puedo...
Si me atrevo y si no llego...
Si te pierdo y no te encuentro...
Si me escapo, o me quedo ciego.
¿Cual es la forma mas clara y segura,
elegir bien y que no queden dudas?
Yo sigo probando, mientras voy pensando
Que se.

Para crecer, hay que dejar dormido el niño que uno fue.
Pararse entero y vencer
El miedo de ser o no ser.
¿Cual es costo de ganar?
¿Cual es el miedo de perder?
¿Cual la carrera? ¿Cual la llegada?
¿Cual el camino y cual la cortada?

Si me animo y si no puedo...
Si me atrevo y si no llego...
Si te pierdo y no te encuentro...
Si me escapo, o me quedo ciego.
¿Cual es la forma mas clara y segura,
elegir bien y que no queden dudas?
Yo sigo probando, mientras voy pensando
Que se.

UN PASO (Teen Angels)
Si tienes miedo a equivocarte
ya estás equivocado
Si tienes miedo a perder
ya estás perdido
Si tienes miedo a vivir
ya estás vencido
Si tienes miedo a sentir
es que no has elegido

Un paso ya es el camino
Un paso hacia tu destino
Un paso te abre la puerta
Y sueña tu alma despierta,
tu alma despierta.

Vivir a pleno
Vivir sin miedo
Vivir al instante
Y siempre animarse.
Vivir a pleno
Vivir sin miedo
Vivir al instante
Y siempre animarse.

Si tienes miedo al caminar
Yo te daré mi mano
A veces hay que empezar acompañado.
Mil pasos te seguirán,
Serás el guía de muchos
Y tu luz brillará, llamá que yo te escucho.

Un paso ya es el camino
Un paso hacia tu destino
Un paso te abre la puerta
Y sueña tu alma despierta,
tu alma despierta.

Vivir a pleno
Vivir sin miedo
Vivir al instante
Y siempre animarse.
Vivir a pleno
Vivir sin miedo
Vivir al instante
Y siempre animarse.

SING (Glee Cast Version)
Sing it out,
Boy, you got to see what tomorrow brings.
Sing it out,
Girl, you got to be what tomorrow needs.

For every time.
That they want to count you out,
Use your voice,
every single time you open up your mouth.

Sing it for the boys,
Sing it for the girls,
Every time that you lose it sing it for the world.
Sing it from the heart,
Sing it till you're nuts,
Sing it out for the ones that'll hate your guts.
Sing it for the deaf,
Sing it for the blind,
Sing about everyone that you left behind.
Sing it for the world,
Sing it for the world.

Sing it out,
Boy, they're gonna sell what tomorrow needs
Sing it out,
Girl, they're gonna kill what tomorrow brings
You've got to make a choice,
If the music drowns you out.
And raise your voice,
Every single time they try and shut your mouth.

Sing it for the boys,
Sing it for the girls,
Every time that you lose it sing it for the world.
Sing it from the heart,
Sing it till you're nuts,
Sing it out for the ones that'll hate your guts.
Sing it for the deaf,
Sing it for the blind,
Sing about everyone that you left behind.
Sing it for the world,
Sing it for the world.

Cleaned-up corporation progress,
Dying in the process.
Children that can talk about it,
Living on the webways.
People moving sideways,
Sell it till your last days.
Buy yourself the motivation,
Generation nothing.
Nothing but a dead scene,
Product of a white dream.
I am not the singer that you wanted,
but a dancer.
I refuse to answer,
Talk about the past,
Sir and wrote it for the ones who want to get away.

Keep running!

Sing it for the boys,
Sing it for the girls,
Every time that you lose it sing it for the world.
Sing it from the heart,
Sing it till you're nuts,
Sing it out for the ones that'll hate your guts.
Sing it for the deaf,
Sing it for the blind,
Sing about everyone that you left behind.
Sing it for the world,
Sing it for the world.

You've got to see what tomorrow brings!
Sing it for the world,
Sing it for the world.
Yeah, you've got to be what tomorrow needs!
Sing it for the world,
Sing it for the world.

AWAKE AND ALIVE (Skillet)

I’m at war with the world and they

Try to pull me into the dark

I struggle to find my faith

As I’m slippin’ from your arms

It’s getting harder to stay awake

And my strength is fading fast

You breathe into me at last

I’m awake I’m alive

Now I know what I believe inside

Now it’s my time

I’ll do what I want ’cause this is my life

right here, right now

I’ll stand my ground and never back down

I know what I believe inside

I’m awake and I’m alive

I’m at war with the world cause I

Ain’t never gonna sell my soul

I’ve already made up my mind

No matter what I can’t be bought or sold

When my faith is getting weak

And I feel like giving in

You breathe into me again

I’m awake I’m alive

Now I know what I believe inside

Now it’s my time

I’ll do what I want ’cause this is my life

right here, right now

I’ll stand my ground and never back down

I know what I believe inside

I’m awake and I’m alive

Waking up waking up

In the dark

I can feel you in my sleep

In your arms I feel you breathe into me

Forever hold this heart that I will give to you

Forever I will live for you

I’m awake I’m alive

Now I know what I believe inside

Now it’s my time

I’ll do what I want ’cause this is my life

right here, right now

I’ll stand my ground and never back down

I know what I believe inside

I’m awake and I’m alive

FLY (Rihanna)

I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive

I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise

To fly

I wish today it will rain all day

Maybe that will kinda make the pain go away

Trying to forgive you for abandoning me

Praying but I think I’m still an angel away

Angel away, yeah strange in a way

Maybe that is why I chase strangers away

They got their guns out aiming at me

But I become near when they aiming at me

Me, me, me against them

Me against enemies, me against friends

Somehow they both seem to become one

A sea full of sharks and they all see blood

They start coming and I start rising

Must be surprising, I’m just summising

Win, thrive, soar, higher, higher, higher

More fire.

I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive

I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise

To fly

Everybody wanna try to box me in

Suffocating everytime it locks me in

Paint they own pictures than they crop me in

But I will remain where the top begins

Cause I am not a word, I am not a line

I am not a girl that can every be defined

I am not fly, I am levitation

I represent an entire generation

I hear the criticism loud and clear

That is how I know that the time is near

So we become alive in a time of fear

And I aint got no muthaf-cking time to spare

Cry my eyes out for days upon days

Such a heavy burden placed upon me

But when you go hard your nay’s become yay’s

Yankee Stadium with Jay’s and Kanye’s

I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive

I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise

To fly

Get ready for it

I came to win

Get ready for it

I came to win

I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive

I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise

To fly

To fly.

So There You have the songs that always make me thing why I've launched myself to the pool this time, And why I'll keep doing it in every chance I have.

Some Of The Songs That Made me Who I Am

2013-03-10T03:25:00.004+00:00

Hey Guys, long time no see, right? I've been working all for this three months at Loveland Sky Area. At first it was something unknown to me and 'cause of that I was really scare, but now I know that I was looking for something with this journey, And part of that I guess was myself.
OK, after I started working, the job became something tedious and in the other side, something wonderful, because I met a lot of wonderful new people. So as in everything we do, I got good and bad stuff that happened to me, but I only intent to take the good with me. jaja, I ain't masochist.
And sometimes when I was working and found a time for my myself I always asked what was what made me the way I'm, besides my family and friends obviously, and I realize that I love music, so I star to listen more carefully to what I've been listened since I was a teenager, and found some answers. So... here are some of them, from various artists and in different languages:

TIEMPO (Erreway)
Para los que sienten soledad
los que ceren que perdido estas
para los que estan al borde del abismo

para los que ya tocaron fondo
y ceren que ya perdieron todo
para los suicidas que corren ya sin vida

Cambia ya tus sueños nada mas
con el mismo cuerpo comenzar
tiempo de cambiar, tiempo de empezar

tiempo de cambio, de lluvia, de sol
tiempo de hacer el amor

tiempo lucha de gran confusion
tiempo de hacer el amor
tiempo

para los campeones que perdem peleas
para los guerreros que no tienen guerra
para los que ya no lucham en la tierra

para los que dudan y no eligen nada
los que tienen miedo y puertas cerradas
para los ausentes los sobrevivientes

cambia ya tus sueños nada mas
con el mismo cuerpo comenzar
tiempo de cambiar, tiempo de empezar.

NO ESTES SEGURO (Erreway)
Estar seguro
Es venderte en cuotas
Armarte una muralla
Al corazon
Dejar que te licuen
La pasion
Estar seguro es eso

Estar seguro
Es sentir lo tibio
Jamas quedarte
En carne viva
Donde no hay incendio
No hay heridas
Mal heridas

Jamas tendras
Un gran amor
Pero estaras tranquilo
Te sentiras seguro
Y dormiras sin sueños
El mundo pasara sin vos
No sentira tu ausencia
Le faltara tu amor
Y tu alma clara
Tendras miedo a volar
No te creceran alas

No estes seguro
Baja a los mas hondo
Y trata de subir sin cuerdas
Llegar muy alto
Y caer a ciegas
Que corra sangre por tus venas

No estes seguro
El cielo es el infierno
Si no enfermas hasta llorar de amor
Sentir a fondo
Hasta perderlo todo
Sobrevivir es estar muerto

Jamas tendras
Un gran amor
Pero estaras tranquilo
Te sentiras seguro
Y dormiras sin sueños
El mundo pasara sin vos
No sentira tu ausencia
Le faltara tu amor
Y tu alma clara
Tendras miedo a volar
No te creceran alas

THIS IS ME (Demi Lovato)
Always been the kind of girl
That hid my face
So afraid to tell the world
What I've got to say

But I have this dream
Right inside of me
I'm gonna let it show
It's time to let you know
To let you know

This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let the light shine on me

Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be
This is me

Do you know what it's like
To feel so in the dark?
To dream about a life
Where you're the shining star

Even though it seems
Like it's too far away
I have to believe in myself
It's the only way

This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let the light shine on me

Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be
This is me

You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you, I gotta find you

You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you, I gotta find you

This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let the light shine on me

There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be
This is me, this is me

Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be
This is me

THE CLIMB (Miley Cirus)
I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
Theres a voice inside my head sayin,
Youll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

Theres always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Aint about how fast I get there,
Aint about whats waiting on the other side
Its the climb

The struggles Im facing,
The chances Im taking
Sometimes I knock me down but
No Im not breaking
The pain Im knowing
But these are the moments that
Im going to remember most yeah

And I,

Just keep pushing on,

Theres always going to be another mountain
Im always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,

Aint about how fast I get there,
Aint about whats waiting on the other side

SOMEONE IS WATCHING OVER ME (Hlillary Duff)
Found myself today
Oh I found myself and ran away
Something pulled me back
The voice of reason I forgot I had
All I know is just you're not here to say
What you always used to say
But it's written in the sky tonight

So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me

Seen that ray of light
And it's shining on my destiny
Shining all the time
And I wont be afraid
To follow everywhere it's taking me
All I know is yesterday is gone
And right now I belong
To this moment to my dreams

So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me

It doesn't matter what people say
And it doesn't matter how long it takes
Believe in yourself and you'll fly high
And it only matters how true you are
Be true to yourself and follow your heart

So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
That I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even when it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
That someone's watching over
Someone's watching over
Someone's watching over me

Someone's watching over me

Un Nuevo Horizonte

Como va? todo bien? yo medio nerviosa pero mas calmada. Esta mañana cuando estaba aterrizando en Dallas estaba mas nerviosa que si estuviera peleando por mi vida. Y todo fue al pepe, por que entre re facil sin ningun problema, y ahora estoy oficialmente en los Estados Unidos de America. SOLA. cuando programe este viaje, fue muy sencillo decirlo y agrandarme de que me iba a ir sola, pero ahora me achique de un porrazo en la cabeza. Da miedo salir del nido, como se dice, salir de lo conocido, e ir hacia lo que uno no conoce. El fururo puedo ser tanto bueno como male, pero el miedo no es a fracasar o a que pase algo malo, el miedo es a la incertidumbre, a no saber lo que sera, a no tener el control.
Yo me decia una y otra vez, cuando el avion despegaba ayer de Ezeiza; que todos los personajes que admiro, se animaron a mas, se tiraron a la pileta y a pesar de que tenian miedo lo hicieron y sacaron buenas cosas de la experiencia, y si no aunque sea aprendieron algo. Asi que me dicidi a imitarlos, asi que aca estoy, lo que vendra vendra y yo voy a aprender de esta experiencia y disfrutar todo al maximo.
Nos vemos en la proxima. Bye

Un Gran Paso a Dar

2012-11-27T00:32:00.002+00:00

Holaaaaaaaa, esta ves lo escribo en español el post para hacercela facil a algunos de mis amigos, (que me dijeron que les daba paja usar el traductor de google).
Bueno, hace mucho que no escribia y tengo mucho que decir. En primer lugar y re importante; me voy a trabajar tres meses a Estados Unidos. Voy sola, sin mi familia y es un gran paso, y sobre todo una gran aventura. Quien diria? El año pasado, a esta altura, ni soñaba con que esto era posible; pero durante el año se concreto y mañana estoy saliendo, para Denver, Colorado. Es un paso enorme, y estoy re contenta, pero tambien re nerviosa. Ayer, haciendo la valija, recien cai en la cuenta, y me puse a pensar: ¡¿quien me mando a meterme a mi en esto?!!!! jajaj, bueno en fin, a partir de ahora voy a postear mucho y poner videos de youtube con lo que este haciendo a diario, como un diario de viaje, escrito(aca) y en video(youtube). Estoy completa no?jeje.
si busco una cita que pueda irle bien a la situacion se me viene a la cabeza un par de la serie de Casi Angeles:

""Flotando en el viento"Cuando no sabés a dónde vas, cualquier camino puede servir. Dan miedo los cruces de camino. Da miedo partir. Da miedo volver. Las preguntas, las respuestas dan miedo. Si no sabés hacia donde vas, lo mejor es dejarte llevar, como flotando en el viento.A veces hay que desprenderse del equipaje, y como una pluma, dejarse llevar por el viento. Como decía el poeta González Tuñón, “para que a cada paso, un paisaje, una emoción o una contrariedad nos reconcilien con la vida pequeña, y su muerte pequeña”. Para que un día nos queden unos cuantos recuerdos, para poder decir “estuve en tal recodo”, para poder decir “estuve en tal pasión”, para poder decir “estuve en tal pueblo fantasma, en tal amistad, haciendo tal cosa”. Para poder decir “yo estuve ahí”. Para poder hacer todo eso, es necesario no temerle a partir, ni a volver. Porque estamos en una encrucijada de caminos que parten y que vuelven, si no sabemos hacia dónde ir, hay que dejarse llevar por el viento.El viento lleva, y a la vez trae. El viento nos puede llevar a lugares insospechados. Flotando en el aire, están todas las preguntas y todas las respuestas. Y flotando en el viento, iremos a donde debamos ir."

""La Liberación"

Todos buscamos la libertad, queremos ser libres. Una adolescente piensa ‘cuando crezca y no tenga que obedecer más a mis padres ahí si voy a ser libre’

¿Pero qué es ser libre? ¿No estar presos es ser libre? La libertad es peculiar, angustia tanto no tenerla, como tenerla. Ser libre a veces te llena de miedos.

Leí sobre el caso de un hombre que era asmático y que fue puesto preso. La paradoja es que en la cárcel se le fue el asma. En la cárcel no hay opción. La libertad te da miles de opciones. La libertad te obliga a elegir. Una libertad te obliga. Es una paradoja. Hay que estar preparado para reclamar libertad porque la podes conseguir. Ser liberado es como abrir los ojos a la luz después de mucha oscuridad. La libertad encandila, enceguece.

¿Quién queres ser? ¿Vas a hacerte cargo de lo que elegís? ¿Vas a elegir? Aunque no quieras, aunque no lo sepas, siempre elegimos. Estamos condenados a ser libres. Ser libres es ser esclavo de las consecuencias de tu elección. Otra paradoja. Y hacerte cargo de las consecuencias de tus elecciones te vuelve a liberar.

Todos buscamos la libertad. Habrá que hacerse cargo de lo que hiciste, lo que haces y lo que harás, y tener una vida condenadamente libre y plena de sentido."

Asi Que bueno, eso es todo por hoy. Mañana voy a seguir posteando. Nos vemos Gente and Wish me luck for my new travel, my new life, my new adventure. see you tomorrow.

XOXO Caro

To My Dad With All My Love!!!

2012-09-22T22:36:00.000+01:00

Hi again guys!!! This couple of days have been rough to me so I'll make a quick post that shows how to hold on tight to sanity when you're being in a difficult path. The quotes for today are in Spanish, I listened to them a few years ago from one of my favorites TV series. I Dedicate this post to my Dad, that was operated this past Tuesday from cancer, but he is fine already. Dad I love you with all my heart!!!
So Here It goes:

"El Futuro es Hoy"

"Nos preocupa mucho el futuro, vivimos pensando en el futuro... en el porvenir.

Creemos que todo lo importante ésta por pasar en algún momento del futuro.

Pensamos mucho en lo que hacemos, dudamos porque tenemos miedo de arruinarnos el futuro con las decisiones del presente, ¿Pero qué es el futuro?

Tiempo, dentro de 60 años... o dentro de 10 segundos, son la misma cosa, en 60 años o 10 segundos puede pasar cualquier cosa.

Ponemos en el futuro una carga muy pesada, en el futuro seremos felices... en el futuro cumpliremos nuestros sueños.

En el futuro esta todo lo bueno por venir y todo lo malo por evitar, pero lo único cierto es que el futuro es incierto... no podemos saber si viviremos 60 años o 10 segundos más, por eso el futuro es hoy."

“Sobre como no perder la esperanza”

"La esperanza no es soñar con lo posible, sino con lo imposible. El que tiene esperanza corre el riesgo de que eso que espera nunca llegue. La esperanza es prima hermana de la utopía. Es un brote verde en el desierto. Ahí donde todo está perdido, donde solo hay desconsuelo, desolación, vacío, donde solo hay restos de un pasado que nunca va a volver. Ahí también hay esperanza, porque la esperanza es lo que queda cuando ya no queda nada.

La esperanza está hecha de futuro. La esperanza es la que nos va a mantener vivos cuando ya no queden razones para vivir. Por eso es tan importante conservar la esperanza.

Yo quiero lo que quiero y no paro hasta lograrlo. Y si no logro mala suerte, el no ya lo tengo. ¿Ahora si lo logro? ¿Si lo logro qué man? Para mi querer algo es como, viste cuando uno está en un desierto que lo único que quiere es agua porque se está muriendo de sed. Bueno, y esa esperanza de encontrar el agua es lo que te mantiene vivo, lo que te da ganas de seguir. En cambio si no tenes esa esperanza man, te morís muerto.

La esperanza man, es tener fe en que existen los oasis.

La esperanza se conserva con paciencia sabiendo que todo llega, en su momento.

La esperanza se conserva con fe, fe en uno mismo y en la vida. La esperanza se conserva con templanza. La templanza es lo contrario a la desesperación, es saber esperar, con tranquilidad, con moderación man.

La esperanza se conserva usando la razón por sobre todas las pasiones man.

La esperanza se conserva con ilusión y con fe, con mucha fe en que la vida te va a tirar ese centro que tanto necesitamos para meter el gol."

"Fe"

"La falta de fe es falta de luz, porque la fe es creer en algo aunque no lo podamos ver. Perder la fe es estar convencidos de que eso que no está no va a estar nunca.

La fe es una conquista que se pone a prueba todos los días. El que pierde la fe puede perder un juego, aunque lo esté ganando. Si uno pierde la fe se entrega a la muerte.

Dicen que la fe mueve montañas, pero una montaña de fe mueve mucho más. Si vos crees en algo, por más que todos te digan que estás loco, no dudes, tenete fe.

No hay nada peor que darse por vencido, aún cuando veas todo negro, cuando no veas la salida, cuando creas que no vale la pena seguir creyendo en eso que creías. Seguí, cerrá los ojos bien fuerte y tene fe. Porque el secreto no es una pluma o la magia, el secreto es la fe, fe en la magia. La fe en que tu suerte puede cambiar.

La vida va a poner tu fe a prueba una y mil veces, solo depende de cuanta fe tengas en lo que querés, de cuanta fe tengas en vos, de cuanta fe tengas en la vida.

Murphy dice que los sucesos fortuitos tienden a suceder todos juntos. Yo prefiero creer que es una cuestión de fe."

“Déjame llorar”

"Debes llorar todo ese dolor, llorar la tristeza, llorar las tragedias, llorarlo todo. Llorar todo el dolor, sacarlo, porque ocupa un lugar de la alegría, del amor. Cuando lloras no solo lloras el dolor, también lloras el odio, el resentimiento, la frustración, te vacías de todo eso.

Cuando lloras riegas, y tal vez algo florezca. Porque cada lágrima trae una enseñanza, cada lágrima es una parte de ti que muere, cada lagrima es algo de ti que quiere renacer.

Y una vez que lo hayas llorado todo, toda la tristeza, la soledad, comprenderás que las cosas simplemente son como son, y no por eso han de ser malas.

Las cosas son como son, bellas, duras, inexplicables, complicadas. Hay de todo en la vida, obstáculos, alegría, sin sabores… llora mucho, pero luego ríe, porque eso hacen las esperanzas, lloran todo lo que esperan pero ríen sabiendo lo que vendrá."

I hope you enjoyed them, XOXO and I'll see you on the next post.

Die Slowly By Pablo Neruda

2012-09-10T02:25:00.002+01:00

Hi again guys. How are you doing? The other night I reread a email that was sent to me by a chain of them. It was about a series of slides about a Pablo Neruda's poem: "Die Slowly".
When I read it, I felt that that was exactly my kind of words in a poem. The kind I want to tell people every day and being heard by them. The kind I want to write in a graffiti. Thous words are the ones that worth talking off. For meanings like that, the world has seen a lot of wars and a lot of persons had died, so here it is:

"He who becomes the slave of habit,
who follows the same routes every day,
who never changes pace,
who does not risk and change the color of his clothes,
who does not speak and does not experience,
dies slowly.

He or she who shuns passion,
who prefers black on white,
dotting ones "it’s" rather than a bundle of emotions, the kind that make your eyes glimmer,
that turn a yawn into a smile,
that make the heart pound in the face of mistakes and feelings,
dies slowly.

He or she who does not turn things topsy-turvy,
who is unhappy at work,
who does not risk certainty for uncertainty,
to thus follow a dream,
those who do not forego sound advice at least once in their lives,
die slowly.

He who does not travel, who does not read,
who does not listen to music,
who does not find grace in himself,
she who does not find grace in herself,
dies slowly.

He who slowly destroys his own self-esteem,
who does not allow himself to be helped,
who spends days on end complaining about his own bad luck, about the rain that never stops,
dies slowly.

He or she who abandon a project before starting it, who fail to ask questions on subjects he doesn't know, he or she who don't reply when they are asked something they do know,
die slowly.

Let's try and avoid death in small doses,
reminding yourself that being alive requires an effort far greater than the simple fact of breathing.

Only a burning patience will lead

to the attainment of a splendid happiness. "

I hope you liked it, see you in the next post.

Hate? Why hate someone or something when we could be better than that?

2012-08-27T00:40:00.000+01:00

The other day I was in youtube and I found a video of the last minutes from one of my favorite series's season finale episode. "Casi Angeles: La Resistencia" The episode ends with a Gandhi's quote, ("Uno obtiene aquello para lo que se hace digno") and we know that most of his phrases were about not hating the others that are bad to us, but of forgiveness, love, peace, and of being better persons. This made me remember when I read the last book of Florencia Bonelli, an Argentinian author, "Caballo de Fuego Gaza". The Book stars also with a quote from Gandhi. And is really a thoughtful one. It makes us thing of what do we want from life, want we can give back to it, and how to live by.

"Ojo por ojo, y el mundo acabará ciego."
"An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind."

After that I star to look for more quotes about this man, and I tried to put some of them in here. The ones that I wrote down are all similar to each other, and gives us examples of life.

"Puesto que yo soy imperfecto y necesito la tolerancia y la bondad de los demás, también he de tolerar los defectos del mundo hasta que pueda encontrar el secreto que me permita ponerles remedio."

"La violencia es el miedo a los ideales de los demás."

"No hay camino para la paz, la paz es el camino."

"Hate the sin, love the sinner."

"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong."

"Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it."

"You must be the change you want to see in the world."

"Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning."

"It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there'll be any fruit. But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result."

This world isn't perfect.... and we face it and we try to make it better

2012-08-23T02:58:00.000+01:00

A week ago I was finishing reading the sixth book of the series Chicagoland Vamps from Chloe Neill, "Biting Cold". I will not tell you what it says, because I don't want to spoil the read if haven't read yet. But While I was traveling in Merit universe I heard her saying something that made me think about a lot of stuff about life. Well you know, every opportunity I have, I analyse a quote from something.
This particular quote, make me think about how we go about every day life, about haw much selfishness we may find in it. But also, how much unselfishness, how much solidarity, and above all how much love. Those thoughts led me to see that there is balance in every aspect of this world, and in every aspect of us. We are black and white, good and evil. We hate and we love, and all of it mostly in the same quantity.
This quote also talk about how we would like to do something but we need to do the opposite, even though we don't like it; because is the right thing to do. We try every day to make this world a better one.So here it is...

"We all have days when we feel small. Really small. Completely inadequate, but saddled with all this responsibility. (...) There are days when I would have to pull the cover over my head and say to hell with it. But I don't do that. And most people don't do that. Most people get up and do their jobs and work their asses off for no reward at all - but just so they can get up the next day and do the whole thing over again. The world isn't perfect, and some days it wears you down. You can either accept that and face it, and be a help to others instead of a hindrance. Or you can decide that the rules are too tough and they shouldn't apply to you, and you can ignore them and make things harder for everybody else. Sometimes life is about being sad and doing things anyway. Sometimes is about being hurt and doing things anyway. The point isn't perfection. The point is doing it anyway. (...) You make a go of it, the hard way - one day at a time, and with patience"

OK, so what are your thoughts about this. I loved the book when I read it, and I love the context in which was make this speech, I just can say that was Merit the speaker. Tell me if you feel the same that her.

Choices, Freedom, Reality.... Life to be precise!

2012-08-22T03:35:00.001+01:00

Hi there guy, here are a couple of quotes, that speak for themselves. We continue on the same line as the other posts, talking mostly of our choices. Suffice is to say that all of them lead us to think about our own lives a how we are living them. (By the way there are some quote in Spanish)

"The only reality you can control is the one you’re willing to face—and who would want to live in a reality that was controlled by someone else? It’s a cage, no matter how gilded. Every lie a person tell oneself forges another link in the chains that bind." (Fever Series)

"How much truth can you face? How free do you dare to be? If the choice is yours—and it is—wouldn’t you crave absolute freedom? The more clearly one sees that there’s nothing within, the more power one has to create whatever one wants without." (Fever Series)

"Todos buscamos la libertad, queremos ser libres. Una adolescente piensa ‘cuando crezca y no tenga que obedecer más a mis padres ahí si voy a ser libre’
¿Pero qué es ser libre? ¿No estar presos es ser libre? La libertad es peculiar, angustia tanto no tenerla, como tenerla. Ser libre a veces te llena de miedos.
Leí sobre el caso de un hombre que era asmático y que fue puesto preso. La paradoja es que en la cárcel se le fue el asma. En la cárcel no hay opción. La libertad te da miles de opciones. La libertad te obliga a elegir. Una libertad te obliga. Es una paradoja. Hay que estar preparado para reclamar libertad porque la podes conseguir. Ser liberado es como abrir los ojos a la luz después de mucha oscuridad. La libertad encandila, enceguece.

Libertad suena a no tener límites, pero en realidad ser libres es tener la libertad de moverse entre algunos límites. Libertad es mucho más que elegir, es hacerse cargo de esa elección. Es más fácil hacerle caso a alguien que hacerse caso a sí mismo, porque eso es ser libre, hacerte caso.
¿Quién queres ser? ¿Vas a hacerte cargo de lo que elegís? ¿Vas a elegir? Aunque no quieras, aunque no lo sepas, siempre elegimos. Estamos condenados a ser libres. Ser libres es ser esclavo de las consecuencias de tu elección. Otra paradoja. Y hacerte cargo de las consecuencias de tus elecciones te vuelve a liberar.

Todos buscamos la libertad. Habrá que hacerse cargo de lo que hiciste, lo que haces y lo que harás, y tener una vida condenadamente libre y plena de sentido." (Casi Angeles, La Resistencia)

"The whole world is in chess. Any move can be the death of you. Do anything except remain where you started, and you can't be sure of your end. None of us know our end, really, or what hand will guide us there. A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power. When you stand before God, you cannot say, "But I was told by others to do thus," or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice." (Kingdom Of Heaven)

"The truth is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with caution."(Harry Potter movies)

"It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."(Harry Potter movies)

"The consequences of our actions are so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is a very difficult business indeed."(Harry Potter movies)

"Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it. It is my belief... that the truth is generally preferable to lies." (Harry Potter movies)

"It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be!" (Harry Potter movies)

"The time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right, and what is easy." (Harry Potter movies)

"It was, he thought, the difference between being dragged into the arena to face a battle to the death and walking into the arena with your head held high. Some people, perhaps, would say that there was little to choose between the two ways, but I know that there was all the difference in the world." (Harry Potter movies)

"Your life is defined by its opportunities... even the ones you miss." (The Curious Case Of Benjamin Buttom)

"It's not about how well you play, it's how you feel about what you play." (The Curious Case Of Benjamin Buttom)

"I have to do the best I can with what I have." (Batman: The Dark Knight)

"Sometimes the truth isn't good enough. Sometimes, people deserve more. Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded..." (Batman: The Dark Knight)

"You make your own luck..." (Batman: The Dark Knight)

"The past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or learn from it." (The Lion King)

"Everything begins with choice." (Matrix)

"Choice, the problem is choice." (Matrix)

"Life is like a box a chocolates, never know what you're gonna get." (Forest Gump)

"You have to do the best with what God gave you." (Forest Gump)

"It's not living as such that's important, it’s living rightly." (Immortal)

So.. what do you think about it? most of the quotes talk about the same, other no so much as the contradict one another. Like the ones talking about the truth of the lie.. You tell me what you think. Do you apply this concepts in your day to day life or not? It would be good to think about, after all, we don't read so many books and watch so many movies for nothing!!

Bulling.....

2012-08-21T17:26:00.001+01:00

Hi Again guys. To change a little the topic, but not to much, I bring to you something that is mulling around our society mind. Bulling. This is so horrible, and so common at the same time. We watch on TV advertisements about how to prevent it, when at the same time we watch movies that shown exactly how this is. But a lot of people don get that there are serious consequences to their actions, that they can hurt others permanently. I read a book that show us this. Is a YA book, called "Keep Holding On" by Susane Colasanti. It's a really good book. Also I happen to find a video on youtube, that is called " The Power Of Words" and show us how young people can hurt other is they don't watch and think what are the gonna say.

Right vs Wrong

2012-08-21T04:58:00.000+01:00

Hi again guys. I have to catch up a little so I'm making another post already.
When you are addicted to books, you wanna read them no matter what, sometimes it doesn't matter how you get them either. We know there are a lot of e-piracy nowadays, and we know is not right. Even a lot of bloggers write about this topic in their blogs. I read a very simple a convincing explanation of why e-piracy is wrong in one blog (I will post the links to the posts at the end). That, led me to ask myself the famous two words: "What if".
What if you cannot get the book because you don't live where it was published and it doesn't go to your country?
What If you wanna buy an e-copy but the bookshop doesn't let you because the billing direction of your credit card is outside the specific country?
So what to do? we tried to do the right thing and buy the books, but we can't, so what are the options?
Here is when we face the dilemma of doing the right thing (dying because we can't read the book, well sort of. We don't really die. :p) vs taking the wrong path (downloading a pirate copy from the internet). Lucky for us, nothing in this world is black or white, we have shades of grey. In this case, a shade of gray could be to pay the book via credit card by the internet, but we need to write another billing direction. Don't get me wrong. If I wasn't really paying the book, the bookshop wouldn't let me do it. But no matter what, this is telling a lie.
So as they say, we are between the wall and a sharp place.
I find some quotes about right vs wrong, They are from the fever series by Karen Marie Moning and Gemma Doyle series by Libba Bray:

"Most People are good and occasionally do something they know is bad. Some people are bad and struggle every day to keep it under control. Others are corrupt to the core and don’t give a damn, as long as they don’t get caught. But evil is a completely different creature. Evil is bad that believes it’s good"

"Evil isn't a state of being, is a choice."

"Nobody is perfect for battling evil. It’s seductive."

"The good guys and bad guys aren’t as easy to tell apart as I used to think they were. You can’t look at someone with your eyes and take measure. You have to look with the heart."

"In each of us lie good and bad, light and dark, art and pain, choice and regret, cruelty and sacrifice. We’re each of us our own chiaroscuro, our own bit of illusion fighting to emerge into something solid, something real. We’ve got to forgive ourselves that. I must remember to forgive myself. Because there’s an awful lot of gray to work with. No one can live in the light all the time."

Maybe this quotes, don't fit exactly with the reality that I exposed, but they are close.

Thinking about topics like this, one day I made myself a quote. I really hope you like it, because I try really hard when I write something down.

"We all have darkness within ourselves, but it’s the strength to fight it that defines us. Is what we do every day, the decisions we make, the things we think worth fighting for, what made what we are.

People have power, the power of create, destroy… the power of change reality, and It isn’t wrong or bad or perilous by itself. What makes it dangerous is how we use it. What we chose to do every little minute of our lives with it is what makes a difference; we are the ones who make a difference, because we chose to do it.

Nothing by itself is right or wrong!!!

The difference can be made. It is our call, our time and our place to make it.

So… Put your ass to work and do something for your world!!!!"

Here is from where I read the post, they are from the blog "Passionate Book Divas":

Our Actions Define Us

2012-08-20T23:20:00.003+01:00

Hey I'm back, and with something that is new but no so new that can be consider as old. Is a quote of one of my favorites book series. The fever series by Karen Marie Moning. This Phrase is a motto for me. I think is a way of facing life itself, of living day by day.
Life is hard and we know that, and everyone who read the books can tell you that Mac and Barrons don't let us forget that; not even for a second.
Because of that fact I guess that is really important, not what we say, but what we do when we need to makes decisions, when we need to choose. Because the how and the what are what define us.
so here is the quote.....

"It's our actions that define us. What we choose. What we resist. What we're willing to die for."

To make the post more interesting I'll also write down what Barrons said to this, because that quote was what Mac learn after her journey, but Barrons has tons of years of experience. After all, we don't know what he is, but we do know that he is Jericho Barrons and that he is immortal.

"Judge me by my action, I will show you in my actions, in the choices I make. Words are easy; lies as simple as parting your lips and breathing."

So... Tell me what you think about it

Would it matter.... to be someone better

2011-12-10T19:18:00.000+00:00

This song's lyrics just made me look at myself and the people around me everyday. Would it matter if we do something and nobody is there to notice? Would it matter to do our best everyday even thought nobody cares? well I think that the answer is YES!!!!!

we have, must actually try our best every moment of our lives. We need to be always trying to be better ourselves, because is in that way that we build a better world. And no one has the right to tell us different!!!!!

"If I wasn't here tomorrow
Would anybody care
If my time was up I'd wanna know
You were happy I was there
If I wasn't here tomorrow
Would anyone lose sleep
If I wasn't hard and hollow
Then maybe you would miss me

I know I'm a mess and I wanna be someone
Someone that I like better
I can never forget
So don't remind me of it forever (forever)

What if I just pulled myself together
Would it matter at all
What if I just try not to remember
Would it matter at all
All the chances that have passed me by
Would it matter if I gave it one more try
Would it matter at all

If I wasn't here tomorrow
Would anybody care
Still stuck inside this sorrow
I've got nothing and going nowhere

I know I'm a mess and I wanna be someone
Someone that I like better
I can never forget
So don't remind me of it forever

What if I just pulled myself together
Would it matter at all
What if I just try not to remember
Would it matter at all
All the chances that have passed me by
Would it matter if I gave it one more try
Would it matter at all

I know I'm a mess and I wanna be someone
Someone that I like better
Can you help me forget
Don't wanna feel like this forever, forever

What if I just pulled myself together
Would it matter at all
What if I just try not to remember
Would it matter at all
All the chances that have passed me by
Would it matter if I gave it one more try

If I left tomorrow
Would anybody care
Stuck in this sorrow
Going nowhere

All the chances that have passed me by
Would it matter if I gave it one more try
Would it matter at all."

So listen to this song from Skillet, and star working to be a better person than you are now.

What Jericho Barrons Would say....

2011-12-02T22:55:00.000+00:00

May be this post is a little dramatic, and way over our heads. But today I read for the second time my favorites part form the fith book of the fever saga from Karen Marie Moning. And this quote from Barrons is the one I like the most and the one that makes me think too much!!!

so here it is:

"Dying is overrated. Human sentimentality has twisted it into the ultimate act of love. Biggest load of bullshit in the world. The man that dies escapes. Plain and simple. Game over. End of pain. Try living for someone. Through it all – good, bad, thick, thin, joy, suffering. That’s the hard thing."

I hope that it makes you rethink a lot of question of life, like it did to me. So... tell me what do you think about it.

XOXO.

Who do you wanna be?

2011-08-09T15:55:00.000+01:00

The other day I was watching a film, the third movie from the twilight saga: Eclipse; and when I listened this quote, I started to think a lot. Well... right now I'm just studying, but who knows what will I become in a cuple of years. I realize that this is a question that is made to us with more frecuency that we can imagine.

So... do we know the answer? I think that half of the time we could say yes and the other half we definitely could say NO!!!

So I thought that could be good to read this quote and think about who we are, what do we want to do, and what we want for our lives.

"When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our answers were things like, astronauts, president... or in my case, a princess.
When we were ten, they asked again. We answered, a rock star, cowboy, or in my case, a gold medalist. But now that we're grown up, they want a serious answer. Well, how about this. Who the hell knows?
This isn't the time to make hard and fast decisions; this is a time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere. Fall in love... a lot. Major in philosophy, because there's no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind, and change it again, because nothing's permanent. So, make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask what we want to be, we won't have to guess... we'll know."

Just tell me what you think and is you like, we could discuss about it, or just learn from each other.

Lo que un video puede demostrar...

2011-08-04T01:07:00.000+01:00

A veces un video puede expresar cien veces mejor lo que uno quiere decir.

El otro dia me cruze con este video en YouTube y me dejo pensando, y mucho; que cuando uno sabe como usar las palabras o qué decir, puede ganar mucho, y no me refiere a dinero, sino a la vida en general. a mi me gusto, espero que a vos también te guste y te dé para pensar.

The Beginning

2011-08-03T00:36:00.000+01:00

Nunca te paso que alguna vez hablaste sin pensar para dos segundos despues arrepentirte? Nunca quiziste borrar esas pocas palabras que dijiste y que lastimaron tanto a alguien? O peor todavia! Cuando decis algo con una intención; capaz que buena... quizas no tanto, y te entienden de una manera completamente equivocada. Es más; a veces de la forma completamente opuesta y no tenés ni idea de como remediar lo que dijiste...
Bueno a mi personalmente, me pasa muy seguido. Yo soy de esas personas que dicen lo que piensan, pero no piensan mucho lo que dicen y más de una véz me meti en cada lio!!!
Por eso se me ocurrio que en véz de ser tan "sin filtro" o atolondrada, podria usar las palabras de otros; frases hechas de las peliculas y los libros que más me gustan, para poder dar más poder a mis palabras, y poder darlo en el lugar donde corresponde, en el contexto correcto.
En este blog lo que me propongo es combinar, la fantasía y las enseñanzas de todas las peliculas que miro y de todos los libros que leo, con la filosofía y la historia que tanto amo. Por eso lo que voy a hacer es sacar de contexto las mejores "quotes" de la ficción y analizarlas con lo que sé sobre la vida (lo cual quizás no es mucho ya que soy una adolescente) con una mirada filosófica, con el fin de poder encotrales aplicacion en la vida real y cotidiana.
Las palabras tienen mucho poder, un poder que si no lo sabemos usar puede causarnos muchos problemas y mucho sufrimiento entre otras cosas. Entonces... por que no analizamos, vemos como usar ese poder para algo bueno o práctico, en véz de tener problemas por hablar sin pensar.

Me encantaría que me digás que lo que pensas sobre cada uno de mis análizis, ya que muchas de las frases van a ser muy conocidas y dan mucho lugar al debate. Exactamente eso es lo que quiero, un debate con muchas y diferentes opiniones. Desde ya te digo que nadie va a jusgar a nadie, sino compratir nuestras diferencias.

Lo que si te digo es que yo soy medio loca con los idiomas y quizas en algun momento me mande con algo o quizás un post entero en inglés (lo cual no quita que vaya a tener mil errores!!!).
