The Beautiful Life

Blog Prompt No. 7 Aren’t we starting with the very hard questions? hahaha but ok, here it goes... Professionally? I should start a master’s degree, I could start if I wanted… but I’m not sure yet… so I don’t do it haha !! Personally, I’ve no idea... I acctually have to sit and think about where I want to be in life… Life is hard… hard indeed… but as long as I have my family, friends and my books I’m quite happy!! haha so for the time being… it’s ok!

Prompt Entry #2 A list of things I’m grateful for… Many, I think, but I’ve never tried to list them before, so I’ll start. I’m grateful for/because... My mom and dad, because they’ve been the best teachers in my life and they continue to be. My sisters, one that is my very best friend and another that makes me want to be a better person everytime. My niece and nephews, but mostly my niece because she’s a light in my life, is cheerful and makes me smile every time. The happiness and health of the people I listed above. My health. The roof I have over my head and the food in my table. My current Job, even though sometimes it makes me want to quit, I’m happy that I have it. My friends, because they’re still there even though I’m not the most talkative person. I got the oportunity to attend school and get a bachelor degree with a scolarship. I’ve travelled to wonderful places with wonderful people. All my mistakes, because they’ve made me grow into the person I am today. I’ve never been in...

Some of the things I'm very much into these days, besides work, is bullet journal & juices! I wish I was more in to exercising or traveling or something fun, but for the first I just don't have the inspiration for it and for the later there's no money for that… yet! So, the 1st part of my new habits is Bullet Journal which I love! It is a personal planning system created by Ryder Carroll where basically you handle your own personal kind of planner with a few rules to keep it controlled.. It is quite genius! I'll come back to my Bullet Journal setting later… because I want to spend full posts on it, but as of these days, that's where most of my time goes =) For the 2nd, Juices… haha I gave my mom a Natural Bullet blending machine and after being in its package for about 2 months after her birthday, finally she got it out and taught me how its used and is awesome! Haha very easy and practical! And since I almost never have breakfast I thought maybe with this I co...

Every once in a while I remember that I have this blog and that I swore to myself that I would write often in it, but most of the time I don’t give myself the time or just feel like there’s nothing worth writing about… but I always come back, despite of it all.

Today I was running on low gas (half of the last quarter of the tank) and I should've refill it in the morning but I didn't then at lunch time but again I didn't hahaha and so I promised myself I was going to do it after work...  And here I am... You may be asking, why is she taking the time to write while refilling the tank... Well in the morning I was already low on gas... By 7 pm I'm afraid I'll be out of gas and the car will stop at any time hahaha and place... And today is raining!!! Hahaha I don't want to!! Well beside that, I arrived to the gas station to find out that when they started putting gas to my car there was no system and the pistol was not throwing gas!!!  So they told me that they had gas and the system was going to be reboot and that maybe it would take them some minutes... So I decided to wait here... I forgot to mention is peak hour and next gas station is not very close haha. Anyway, thankfully this gas station has a convenience store at p...

I like travelling a lot, if you ever get to see around this blog you will see some of my trips re-cap.  Unfortunately I don't get to do it very often, only when I have enough money to do it and time... but I've done it enough to make a list of tips that may be helpful in case you want to make a short trip and keep it in your budget! 1. Find a bed I believe the most important thing when you already know you are going to travel is to find where to stay! Even though you could do it at the moment of your arrival, is always more comfortable to do it while you're at home.  There are very good booking sites, but the one i personally like the most is www.hostelworld.com because it offers very good quality places with very accessible places! Also, if you know to which airport, station, or place you will be arriving it offers hostel localization in a map so you can select those closer to your arrival place or close to a subway station and you don't have to walk ...

So, my last entry was about this Moment App, which again I’ll leave you BuzzFeed’s video that made me download it in the first place. So, my predictions were that maybe I use my iPhone around 2 hours and I pick it up from 60 to 80 times a day. Here are the results from the 1st day. Actually downloaded the app on January 26 (Enero 26) but it was at night so I started counting from the next day. So, it was almost the same amount I predicted... 127 minutes equal 2.12 hours, but I picked it up only 26 times... so probably some of those 26 were heavy usage pick ups haha.. I continued using the app for the following week and here are the results of the next days... why? because I thought the first day it was going to be "not very real" since I knew the app was counting my time on the phone, but by the 2nd day I totally forgot about it, and so I remembered yesterday when I was thinking about what my next entry would be about :) ! This is my week phone usage, in minutes!...

Me considero una persona afortunada por tener expectativas e inquietudes para motivarme a hacer lo que muchos, a veces, no se atreven... Lo difícil de querer realizar mis ideales y objetivos, es que muchos de ellos implican un gasto... no es necesariamente algo malo, pero obviamente no soy millonaria ni siquiera rica... y este tipo de situaciones implican un esfuerzo definitivamente mas grande que tengo que hacer... Aun así, trabajo muy duro y gano mi dinero para poder cumplir mis objetivos. Me he propuesto, que este año 2014 será el ultimo año en el cual destinaré gran parte de mi dinero en viajes, y por esto mismo, como ultimo viaje estoy organizando uno a Japón! Aun y cuando fui una vez antes en 2013  y no me gusta ir dos veces al mismo lugar, Japón tiene una magia muy especial que quiero vivir una vez mas! El año pasado viaje con una muy buena amiga; y este año decidí hacer el viaje con mi hermana menor Luisa, quien también comparte el gusto por la cultura japonesa, y...

I always wanted to write about love... Love is a touchy subject for me for a lot of reasons... which, if I'm honest enough I may be able to list most of them... I'm really not used to having a love life... not because I didn't want to but because I'm rather scared of what might happen to me and my feelings. Experiences are what makes a person, and my experiences in general have been great... but in love matters I've actually have little experience... because I haven't permit myself to actually feel something towards someone else in a romantic way. It sort of sounds very drastic, but it has took me a long time to accept that I might be enough for someone else even if other say I am... is a personal issue I think I have to deal myself, and since I'm a good procrastinator, I have been pushing the matter further and further in time... waiting for that someone who may make me reconsider the lifestyle I'm trying to live in... Being honest with myself, I ...

Me gusta mucho leer, pero tristemente no es un habito al cual le dedique mucho de mi tiempo. Me gustan las historias, mas que textos inspiracionales, filosóficos o ilustrativos. Alguno de los libros que he leído, me gustaría enlistarlos a continuación con una pequeña opinión. No soy experta, pero me gusta dar mi punto de vista de las cosas. Yo creo que al día de hoy, mi historia favorita es la de Harry Potter, siempre he sido gran fanática de las historias fantásticas... y creo que Harry engloba mucho de lo que me encanta!! Entre los libros que he leído al día de hoy, en ningún orden en particular, están: 1. Mujercitas (este fue el primer libro que leí, por lo que es un poco especial!) 2. La saga de Harry Potter (7 libros) 3. La trilogía del Señor de los Anillos (3 libros) 4. La trilogía de los Juegos del Hambre (3 libros) 5. El Hobbit 6. El Principito 7. El Alquimista 8. El Código daVinci 9. Ángeles y Demonios 10. Conspiración 11. El Símbolo Secreto 12. El diario de...

Hoy venía manejando en el tráfico horrible que se crea en Monterrey a causa de las lluvias y comencé a pensar como ha cambiado el nivel de tolerancia en los automovilistas en mi ciudad de unos años atrás al presenté... Ya sea por pasados tiempos de inseguridad vial o por un súbito incremento de la conciencia de no saber quien esta manejando en el carro vecino... sea cual sea la razón, creo que ha habido un cambio de actitud hacia el prójimo en las calles. Y si bien es cierto que existe la posibilidad de que una sociedad cambie para mejorar en cuestiones de tolerancia con el paso del tiempo, creo tambien que la tolerancia con relación al tiempo aplicado a una persona, tiene el efecto contrario. El dia de hoy, tengo 27 años de edad. Soy adulta pero tambien soy considerada joven por mis compañeros, amigos, etc. Pero he notado que conforme pasa el tiempo y conozco mas del mundo, de las sociedades y de la gente en general, que me doy cuenta cuan poco soporto ciertas circunstan...
