The Beautiful Life

I love coffee, is one of the things that makes me a happy person in the morning!! Most days I drink coffee from my office, or house… but on other days I like to go to Starbucks in the morning and sit there for a half an hour to read and enjoy my coffee (or wait for it to cool down) Anyway, something that I always check while I’m waiting in line to be served are the cards!! They’re almost always different and very pretty! (I acctually never use the card because I have the Starbucks App which has the same effect) Here are some of the cards I’ve collected in the past mmm year or two... Nice right? Talk to you later!

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...

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.

Video blog entry No. 1 Since I don't post as often as I'd like I'll try to make it quicker by posting it as a Vlog haha because why not !! Here it goes... So? was it ok? did you understood me? Thanks for watching! =)

I was intending to make a post about my precious cat named Katty <3 She's been my cat ever since she was a little baby... like 1 month old.. and adopted her from a good lady who picked all the babies up from the street to find them a home =) I was walk-passing to the store and saw her and decided one of them would be mine =)  This was my Katty when she was just 2 or 3 month old...    And she used to sleep with her little cat <3 haha    Now, after a few years hahaa like... 10 years, she's now a full grown lady cat... so stilish and pretty  hahaha I love her even more.    Very pretty right??? =) As for her personality, she's got so little patience, she likes to be touched and hugged just a little and later she doesn't want and starts biting and scratching; but that doesn't stop me haha I love to tease her... She's always where the people is and observes. She is not confident with everybody but when she finds someone that she...

As much as I like to have a Blog, I'm currently finding LiveJournal far to fun xD !! So from now on, I'll post in LiveJournal and if is good enough I'll post it here aswell =) !! Yay !! If you want to, you can add me in JL: ale_irenear ! =)

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...

When travelling is your thing... you can never have enough... The world is just too big! Haha but ok, I'll narrow it down to my favorite destinations which are Asia and Europe, still too big and full of wonders. That's the thought I've had ever since I came back from Japan some months ago. The trip it was awesome, I think I could've make some things better but still it was great... but as I came back I felt like I didn't belong back here... which is not right since everything I have and own is back here in Mexico, but still the feeling was there. As time passes one begins to move on and fall again into our routines, waiting for the next time the opportunity and the circumstances will be just right to do it again and feel the freedom of traveling. Why is it so difficult to do it often... well, I actually do have the answer to that, I don't have enough money to do it often; but in reality I think is a good situation to be in, because I know that if tra...

So, today I finally decided to wash my car, after weeks of procrastination, because I just couldn't bear seeing it as dirty as it was. It has been a very weird rainy season here in my city. And since I decided I was NOT going to take it to a car wash I told my niece (3 almost 4 years old) to help me wash it, since he loves anything related to getting dirty and wet; so this was perfect! We started by rubbing off the dirt with water, I wasn't going to be very thorough with the wash since it's still rainy season and probably tomorrow will rain again; so I decided that new dirt in the clean car is better than dirt on dirt on dirt... So we started, and to encourage my niece I started teasing her. Me: come on!  Niece: I'm cleaning this door! Me:  I'll clean faster than you! And I'll win! Niece: No! We are going to win together!  Me: ...... [No words] It was teamwork, and I tried to make it a competition between the two of us... Haha something ...

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!...

So I downloaded in my iPhone the Moment App.. which it is supposed to track how much I use my phone during a certain period of time... I'm going to guess that in 1 day I use my phone a total amount of time of 2 hours... and I pick it up... around 60 to 80 times a day =O Thats my guess... Later on I'll post my resoults :) I'll leave you with this video from BuzzFeed where I got the idea to try the app !! Click here for more information on Moment App .

I stumbled upon a very interesting post in tumblr about "What to expect when you're expecting to ACTUALLY enjoy your Twenties" ... It is a comic-like post about realities some of us live when faced with the start of our twenties. At the moment, I'm 27 years old... so I actually already passed some of this situations but it only makes it funnier because I did live them... So here it is. I have had only 2 real boyfriends in my life, and only 1 was actually formal... and it also ended a long time ago at the beginning of my twenties... maybe 20 or 21. So ever since then I've been pretty much single, I may have had some fleeting relationships that were neither long nor significant... But other people around me, in my same age or sometimes younger are discussing marriage or children and I'm like "what!? but there's so much still you have to try and live!" but... is fruitless.  I've gotten to used to the single life that I'm ...

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...

Últimamente me he dado cuenta que me gustan mucho las manualidades, disfruto mucho creando cosas especialmente cuando es para dar a los demás. Estos días me encuentro en un plan súper austero y no quiero gastar mucho, por lo que este tipo de detallitos ayudan a quedar bien en muchas ocasiones. Esta vez, estaba organizando una Proyección para el club de fans de Arashi en Monterrey, del cual yo soy administradora *proud*, tenía que hacer regalos para rifar y junto con una amiga nos aventuramos al centro de Monterrey donde están todas las tienditas y lugares donde venden cosas muy baratas para toda ocasión. Después de caminar por varias calles con tiendas muy interesantes nos decidimos a ir a Fantasías Miguel, el paraíso de las manualidades, en esa tienda hay de todo y para hacer todo! Si no tenias una idea de lo que querías hacer, ahí te surge! Me decidí hacer porta retratos inspirados en la decoración del DVD de Arashi Arafes 2013, y este fué el resultado final ya con todo y la fot...
