Its Not So Bad After All – Think About It

I had the worst morning yesterday (or so I thought). I woke up late for work and didn’t have any ironed shirts to wear, my boss was coming into the office  from his trip to Arizona, and I knew he was in a horrible mood because his Deposition didn’t go well. Then, when I was walking my dogs,  a little dog peed on me and I had to change. Then I went to start my scooter which is how I get to work  and it didn’t start, so I had to go back up to the 27th floor, wake up my boyfriend who has a late work schedule so he must sleep the morning to compensate, and asked him to bring me to work. Oh! and I had to take the bicycle so I could bike my way back home in the afternoon since my second half was at work till 10pm and I get out at 5pm. We of course, got into a huge fight over nothing during the way to work and got me in an even worse mood. As I got out of the car, and as I was coming in to the building – sweating and lets not forget in a  horrible mood, depressed, and thinking how miserable my life was, I stumbled upon a woman in “Au Bon Pain” (the cafeteria where I buy my coffee every morning in the lobby) who had her entire face burned and deformed – she must have been in her 20’s and she was so happy joking with everyone, and she was showing her wedding photo to one of the girls that works there – I had a chance to glance over it and saw the guy she just married – good-looking  in his 30’s – despite her condition she seemed very cheerful and was telling the girl that she was planning on having a baby soon but she first needed to reconstruct her stomach tissue through a surgery because her skin was so burned down there that it didn’t stretch.  I couldn’t stay listening to them talk, because they gave me my order and I had to run upstairs to hell, but let me tell you that I felt like the luckiest person in the world despite all my problems and my sadness – here was I thinking I had problems and was feeling all depressed and ugly because I am a few pounds overweight, and had a few issues in the morning and this girl with this horrible disfiguration was living life to the fullest.  I felt so blessed and so stupid at the same time and immediately I got in a great mood.   I promised myself not to be sad, or depressed for stupid things, because what I experienced this morning was a gift from heaven.  We have to be thankful for life and love ourselves no matter what, because if there are people less fortunate out here with missing limbs and disfigurations, and they can feel happy and move on, so can we!

There is nothing more beautiful than a day after another. Time heals everything! Remember that.

Can We Put Our Differences Aside?

I as get older I notice myself changing more and more not only physically but mentally.  I can handle problems better and I have acquired a very special tool “Diplomacy” (very much needed in the workplace…hush) The fact is we are all different and isn’t that what makes us interesting in the first place? I used to be very aggressive towards anyone who pissed me off in the past, but I have learned that the opposite attitude is much more efficient in resolving issues.  I say if you get into an argument with someone (friend, co-worker, family member, significant other, etc.) over something stupid, instead of spending the rest of the day in a bad mood, sad or mad – Just call or get up and go to them and say something like:

” I know we both can be difficult and we may not agree on everything but I care for our friendship, love, whatever and I just want to leave this behind”

Trust me it works wonders and let’s face it if you have pride and you decide not to take action, all it will do is create more and more drama that will end up lasting for hours, days, weeks, years.. whatever and you might be missing out on the most important things in life.  So I say STOP! and put your differences aside and call that person you have been in a tiff with and give it another chance.  Life is too short! Learn from your pets, they have no pride or ego and they always forget everything.

My Last Attempt At Drawing…!

Ok so I basically grew up between  the shadows of two incredible artists, My Friend Laura(The creator of this blog) and My friend Yaime.  I gave it a few tries back in High School but I wasn’t a success. GRRRR!!!  Without any formal art training, only whatever I could absorb from watching Laura and Yaime draw at the speed of light, I managed to create a few decent drawings mainly of people I knew and stuff, but I won’t show you those because I am DEEPLY embarrassed…jejeje Now after many years I decided to give it another try and so the other day I tried to resuscitate my muse who had been mummified for years and who wasn’t on speaking terms with me. I don’t blame her after all I was the one who killed her.  After many pleads for forgiveness my muse returned to me and I was able to draw once more, I also promised her not to send her away again.  Finally here is my attempt at drawing my boyfriend’s face (for those of you who know him let me know what you think) last time I drew was in 1999.

Italy Sure Has Talent

I came across this show called “Amici” on youtube a few months ago, apparently is a another form of “American Idol” show but it takes place in Italy. As I was watching one of the contestants, my jaw truly dropped to the floor. His name is Nicola Gargalia, a very young boy who dared to sing the famous and incredibly challenging song “Adagio” sung by the talented Lara Fabian. This boy’s voice is so powerful that I had goosebumps throughout the entire performance. It became one of those videos that you want to show to everyone and their mother…lol Well here I am sharing it one more time and I really hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. This song “Adagio” is probably my favorite song from all time. Below the Video you can find the Lyrics in English.

Lyrics In English

I don’t know where to find you
I don’t know how to reach you
I hear your voice in the wind
I feel you under my skin (or “that brings me a touch of hint”)
Within my heart and my soul
I wait for you
Adagio

All of these nights without you
All of my dreams surround you
I see and I touch your face
I fall into your embrace
When the time is right, I know
You’ll be in my arms
Adagio

I close my eyes and I find a way
No need for me to pray
I’ve walked so far
I’ve fought so hard
Nothing more to explain
I know all that remains
Is a piano that plays

If you know where to find me
If you know how to reach me
Before this light fades away
Before I run out of faith
Be the only one to say
That you’ll hear my heart
That you’ll give your life
Forever you’ll stay

Don’t let this light fade away
No No No No No No
Don’t let me run out of faith
Be the only one to say
That you believe
Make me believe
You won’t let go
Adagio

I’m So Nice, But If You Fuck With Me? I Will…END… You

Said Jasel by the copy machine on Friday, (my friend and co-worker) this was by no means directed towards me, she was just giving me the heads up of whats about to happen in the near future if any of the other secretaries tries to step on her…lmao
Jasel looks like an innocent sweet little girl who would do everything in her power to please you and be the best person she can be all the time. Her work at the office is impeccable and her boss as well as everyone else know she is nothing but an asset to the firm. I am starting to see the lion emerge from the kitten though, and I don’t blame her because our office is full of backstabbing, stock up bitches who are constantly trying to get everyone else in trouble because they have nothing better to do with their sorry-ass lives. I myself cannot stay quiet when an injustice is at hand, I have been told before that my mouth will get me fired but I am sorry I can’t help it – I won’t put up with shit from anyone even from my boss, I just can’t stand when I am been mistreated or misjudged. So I understand Jasel 100 % and I take those words to heart! Roarrr
