Hello, 2011!

I’m so ready to live this year! I’ve got a lot of goals and expectations and I’ll do my best to turn all those expectations into reality. I know there’s also a lot of not-so-good things going to happen this year but you know what? I’m not afraid!
Happy 2011!

Merry Christmas

This holiday is not about gifts, is not about being nice to other people, is not about getting drunk... This holiday is all about Jesus!

I'm tired of people's ignorance and the way some of them say Merry Christmas.

I understand that everyone has different ways of seeing life and I respect them. I don't laugh at people when they tell me their -in my opinion- ridiculous excuses for not believing in God. So, please, stop making fun of Him!

For me, and for many other people, today is not just one more day. Today is the day our Savior was born.

A person and a memory

I made a list with the most memorable moments of this year and the people I've shared them with. Don't pay attention to the way in which I put them, the order doesn't really matter. Here we go.

 

1. Mer and the golden day.

2. My dad and the wonderful summer breakfast.

3. Lu and the gnocchi night.

4. Estefi and the day we went to the movies.

5. Ad and the sleepless night.

6. Guillermina and the sunday we spent at Parque Saavedra.

7. My mom and the day spent in BA.

8. Steph and the days she spent with me at home.

9. Johi & Flori and the day we spent together in LP.

10. My ex-classmates and my birthday party.

11. Leo, Dani & Tincho and the coffee we had the night of my birthday.

12. Jon, Tim, Chad, Jerome & Andrew and the Switchfoot concert.

13. Celes & Jor and the movie night.

14. Maca, Gui, Ad, Jero & Emi and the crazy night.

15. My little cousins and the paper boats.

Mess of me

I need time. Time to think, time to be myself. I need time to understand what's going on in my head. Time to accept that I'm not doing okay. I need a break. A break from everything, but I can't stop living life 'cause it seems just so worth living. I can't rest and I worry about everything. I worry about being tired. I worry about feeling alone. I worry about getting sick. I worry about the hate I feel for what I am now and what I do. But I don't do anything to fix my mistakes. I just don't care. And I let the time pass by my side while I stare at nothing and do nothing at all.

Time

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 

A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8

"Most days of the year are unremarkable. They begin, and they end, with no lasting memories made in between. Most days have no impact on the course of a life."

Third person

According to this site today is Talk in third person day and, of course, I don't want to miss the party. Soooooo...

She woke up today knowing that her break was coming to an end. She wanted to stay in bed but knew that there were more important things to do than just staying in bed getting lost in her own thoughts. She got up, grabbed a mug and filled it with sweet hot coffee, took her notes, a few blank sheets of paper and a pencil.
When she remembered all the effort this particular thing required, she shouted to herself that she was not ready, besides, only the fact of knowing she had to draw a tree made her feel sick.
But there she was, drawing one, two, three and docens and docens of trees, making hundreds of mistakes and swearing she would not give up.

Merry Christmas

Through the years we all will be together if the fates allow,
hang a shining star upon the highest bough and have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

Confessions

I'm so hemophobic that even mentioning the word hemophobia makes me feel sick.                                                                                  

One + one = one

When joy and innocence were not enough for me, I wonder about you. It is not like I was not okay on my own but I needed something more. I was incomplete and would NOT go on living like that.

A hundred reasons made me step back a considerable amount of times and excuses made me go right to the wrong side. In every corner ferocious storms knocked me down and the wind blew all my hopes away. But I kept on looking for you. I walked and I even run until one day, tired of questions without answers, I sat wondering why it was so hard to find you – although, to be hones, I didn’t even know if you were real, I just wanted to believe that you were not only part of my dreams, I had the conviction that somewhere, someday I would finally find you.
I stood up and continued my walk, anxiously hoping to see you around the next corner.

Nights and days flew away and I was still alone. Walking, thinking, wandering.
One evening, one night or morning – who cares, stunned by the sound of the clock needles, I saw you crossing the street, coming in my direction. I had been so worried about finding you that I did not realize that I was contemplating the right pair of eyes.
You didn’t recognize me either that day, but then we met again in numerous circumstances, always in the same place and at the same time. Until, used to seeing the same faces over and over again, we made the conclusion that it was not something that was happening by chance. And even though we were sure about it, the fear of making a mistake left us speechless, and we decided to let time and destiny play their cards.

The years passed by and every time I had the chance to see your eyes I was more and more convinced that you were the element I needed to complete my part. But again the clock told us it was not the right time and we chose to take the road of patience, walking with the confidence that nothing would ever be able to separate us. Knowing that someday, when time and date were on our side we would be able to be together, and that way build the puzzle of life and love and whys.

Reaching the end

Another year has (almost) come to its end.
It's incredible how fast it flew away.
My life's been a little crazy lately,
but I like the way things turned out to be.

I'm not inspired, I'm just happy. And that's it.

Happy, happy, happy.

[ Big posts comming soon! (?) ]

Jump!

El pasado sábado 21 de noviembre fui a Capital al recital de Hillsong United. Fue increíble. A pesar de la lluvia el agite argentino estuvo encendido y yo, por supuesto, aporté bastante del mío :)

La semana del 23 de noviembre es la última semana de clases en mi facultad. Hoy es miércoles 25 y el viernes 27 no tenemos clases, lo que significa que mañana es mi último día de clases. Wow, es increíble lo rápido que se pasó mi primer año de universidad!
Estoy muy cansada, pero creo que vale la pena el último esfuerzo.. aunque ya muchas fuerzas no me queden. Veo una almohada y me flotan corazoncitos alrededor de mi cabeza, I SWEAR. Una de las tantas cosas que aprendí este año es que a veces para los estudiantes dormir 4 horas por noche es un montón!. Anoche, por ejemplo, dormí una hora y media (nota al margen: como hoy a la tarde no cursaba me acosté a dormir una siestita, que terminó durando 9 horas).

QUIERO VACACIONES! Por suerte no falta mucho para que lleguen.

Prometo pronto escribir algo que no tenga que ver con mis estudios :B

Changes

Acá estoy, después de casi un mes sin siquiera aparecer.
Complicada? Sí, bastante. Ya se sabe que lo único que me aleja un poco de la computadora son cuestiones de fuerza mayor. Y bueno..tratándose de eso, tuve bastantes examenes las pasadas semanas, y todavía me quedan algunas cosas por rendir.

Rescato de este último mes que aprendí muchas cosas y abrí mis ojos hacia otras. Por ejemplo, siempre me gustó la naturaleza, sin embargo los árboles ahora ya no me gustan tanto (un chiste "nerd", y por cierto BASTANTE MALO, jajaja).
En fin. Me di cuenta que una de las cosas que mejor me sale es estar siempre preocupada; pero hice mi mayor esfuerzo en este cuatrimestre para disfrutar de todo lo que me está pasando. Me pone muy contenta haber encontrado algunas(os) compañeras(os) en la facultad con las(os) que me llevo muy bien, y eso hace las cosas mucho más fáciles :)

A veces siento que necesito días de cincuenta horas. Hoy, por ejemplo, quiero hacer un montón de cosas: leer una novela para el final de Lengua Inglesa I, resumir la teoría de Lengua Inglesa I para el pre-final, leer Derecho II, estudiar Fonética y Fonología inglesa I, hacer las tareas de Gramática Inglesa I, terminar de pasar el resumen de Gramática, etc, etc.. Pero me doy cuenta que últimamente lo único que tengo en la cabeza es la facultad, y esto así no va. Vivo estresada, así que Relax girl, take it easy! Quizás mire una peli o vaya a leer al bosque (aunque es re embolante ir al bosque sola -- pero no tengo con quien ir acá) o toque la guitarra por tres horas, o me embriague en cafeína, te frío y esas cosas que a mí me encantan! :)

No creo volver hasta terminar de cursar al menos, y eso es en 18 días. Así que hasta ese entonces. Nos leemos :)
