postlove sucks... right?
How does love work? I still don’t understand. Whenever we feel that we are interested, the guy appears to be indifferent. And when we get tired and become as indifferent as they are, they suddenly get interested. It is like a game, like a cat and the mouse game. I’m 23 and I don’t understand.
Is it that we can't find a balance between interest and indifference, or is it that love is a game indeed? because I’m not interested anymore.
Well, actually I am interested, but the thing is that love didn’t only make me blind, it also made me brainless.
At this point of my relationship I have realized that he is not cute. He has always been ugly… I mean: big nose, big ears, tiny lips almost impossible to kiss, no behind... how the hell did I fall for him? I know the answer: love makes you blind… but not that much…
ok I know what you are thinking: inner beauty right?
Is he a nice person? In fact, that is the reason I fell for him.
BUT: is he a nice person with ME? NO, NOT A CHANCE, then, I could easily conclude that love made me stupid, really stupid.
This is a letter that I got from my best friend Kathy, who is actually heart breaked. Kathy I hope you don’t mind sharing with the rest of the world.

Muere lentamente
Muere lentamente quien no viaja, quien no lee.
Muere lentamente quien destruye su amor propio, quien no se deja ayudar.
Muere lentamente quien se transforma en esclavo del hábito repitiendo todos los días los mismo trayectos, quien no cambia de marca, no se atreve a cambiar el color de su vestimenta o bien no conversa con quien no conoce.
Muere lentamente quien evita una pasión y su remolino de emociones, justamente éstas que regresan el brillo a los ojos y restauran los corazones detsrozados.
Muere lentamente quien no gira el volante cuando está infeliz con su trabajo, o su amor, quien no arriesga lo cierto ni lo incierto para ir detrás de un sueño, quien no se permite ni siquiera una vez en su vida huir de los consejos sensatos...
¡Vive hoy!
¡Arriesga hoy!
¡Hazlo hoy!
¡No te dejes morir lentamente!
¡No te impidas ser feliz!

postEarthquakes in Pakistan.
In the previous days I thought that 3 natural disasters: First a volcano in eruption, then some sort of deluge (6 days of unstoppable rains, and flooding and landslides all over the country because of the rain caused by that Stan hurricane) and finally one earthquake, together in less that a week were the worst thing that can happen to a nation.
How could I be so wrong?
24 big Earthquakes in less than 30 hours… that is too much. And for sure, this is not normal.

I really hope people in Pakistan and specially AIESECers, of course, get well after this tragedy. A nation can survive and grow or not after this kind of things*. But I believe that results remains in the decisions every citizen takes.
*mine has.

Thoughts about happiness
This morning, I was reading one of those books... you know, the type of book that helps you achieving your goals, makes you a better person, and stuff like that.
At some point it says that, in order to achieve happiness, you have to find something that you really love doing, and then, concentrate all your energies and thoughts in doing that.
I closed the book immediately!
That means I have to stop studying for my exams (I have exams next week), and only work in AIESEC and VOCES for instance…
Maybe I’ll change my mind tomorrow when I continue with the reading, right now, I want to study for the exams, because I want to have good grade, because I want to graduate. For now, I try to fell happy about what I do most of the time: study.

postwater coming through
Ok, we are in the “raining season” but our raining season used to be like: raining day, raining day rain, sunny day, raining day, raining day, sunny day, sunny day, rain... and so on.
Now it's different: it has not stop raining for the last 6 days... and the news say that this Stan storm is already a hurricane and that it will be raining even more.
Perhaps 6 days of nonstop rain is normal in some places around the world... But definitely not here.
This is what happened in my bedroom:
This is what happened in my bedroom:
Phase 1: a little bit of water is coming through
Phase 2: more water coming through
Phase 3: the ceiling fell
Phase 2: more water coming through
Phase 3: the ceiling fell
Can you imagine people with houses even frailest than mine?
The 3 mayor problems now in my country: First, the unstoppable rain, which causes a lot of floods and left many families damaged (not only in the poor neighborhoods). Second: the volcano, has caused serious damages in the coffee and cotton plantations, also in the farms of hens, cows and pigs that received the volcanic ash, this has left to many poor families without work and without their main income source. and Third (to make things worst) fuel prices which reached US$4.10 per gallon today… and that #$%@#& us all.

postRed Alert
| In my country, there are around 25 volcanoes, all of them are supposed to be dead, or dying. 25 volcanoes is a lot if we take into account that my country is only 21 041 km2 (13 075 square miles). There is one, that was active until 1955: Izalco. It is the youngest and it's the “son” of a bigger one. If we were expecting something volcano activity, we may think in this volcano because is the one that has the most "recent" activy (1955) But the one that is active now, is one of the oldest, one that has not show any activity since 1904-1920: Ilamatepec, wich means “father hill”. In 1992, it changed the acidity of the water of the lagoon formed in the crater, and new chimneys of hum appeared. But still, by that time, the news paper said: A cataclysm as the registered one by the volcano of Santa Ana (Ilamatepec) 50 thousand years ago is part of the cycle of life of the colossuses; nevertheless, the possibilities that they happen are remote by virtue of their behavior of last the 500 years. What has been happening in the last days is not so big, compared with what happened between 1520 and 1570. Is not even close to what happened 50 thousand years ago. But still there are lost of people who already evacuated or lost their houses and belongings. Right now I am in my house ("safe") just watching the news. It is not safe to get there, at this very moment there is nothing I can do, and that does not feel good. |
