Muere lentamente

by Pablo Neruda

Muere lentamente quien se transforma en esclavo del hábito, repitiendo todos los días los mismos trayectos, quien no cambia de marca, no arriesga vestir un color nuevo y no le habla a quien no conoce.

Muere lentamente quien evita una pasión, quien prefiere el negro sobre blanco y los puntos sobre las "íes" a un remolino de emociones, justamente las que rescatan el brillo de los ojos, sonrisas de los bostezos, corazones a los tropiezos y sentimientos.

Muere lentamente quien no voltea la mesa cuando está infeliz en el trabajo, quien no arriesga lo cierto por lo incierto para ir detrás de un sueño, quien no se permite por lo menos una vez en la vida, huir de los consejos sensatos.

Muere lentamente quien no viaja, quien no lee, quien no oye música, quien no encuentra gracia en sí mismo.

Muere lentamente quien destruye su amor propio, quien no se deja ayudar.

Muere lentamente, quien pasa los días quejándose de su mala suerte o de la lluvia incesante.

Muere lentamente, quien abandona un proyecto antes de iniciarlo, no preguntando de un asunto que desconoce o no respondiendo cuando le indagan sobre algo que sabe.

Evitemos la muerte en suaves cuotas, recordando siempre que estar vivo exige un esfuerzo mucho mayor que el simple hecho de respirar.

Solamente la ardiente paciencia hará que conquistemos una espléndida felicidad.

tokyo

Tres historias forman esta película, cada una inspirada en Tokyo y obviamente filmadas en el corazón de la ciudad. Una sinfonía interpretada en tres partes desentonadas que reflejan la imagen de una de las capitales más particulares e inolvidables.

La primera “Interior Design” realizada por Michel Gondry es una fábula surrealista de una joven pareja que se traslada a Tokyo en busca de su futuro. “Merde” de Leos Carax trata sobre un misterioso hombre que recorre las calles de la capital actuando de manera irracional y provocadora, bautizado por los medios de comunicación como “La criatura de las alcantarillas”, este hombre se encarga de despiertar la pasión y repulsión de los habitantes hasta ser capturado, juzgado y… Por último “Shaking Tokyo” dirigida por Bong Joon-Ho es una historia sobre un hombre apartado totalmente del contacto con el mundo exterior (llamados en Japón hikikomori), hasta que un día sucede lo inesperado se enamora de la chica repartidora de pizzas, lo cuál lo hará tomar una decisión muy importante dejar la seguridad de su departamento por las calles de Tokyo.

why do bad things happen with good things?

my family is at the most divided right now. we've hit rock bottom as a family. and all i would like to be is happy with my life. i'm so in love with my husband, we are at the early stage of starting a family, traveling (my most favorite thing), planning on purchasing a home and today i am told that a promotion is in my hands. everything is going for us but I can't be completely happy because when I start to ignore I get more disturbing news. I can't wait to start my own little family to show them how it can be possible. possible to have a healthy family life.

dias de lluvia

estos dias de lluvia hacen q uno se sienta melancolico y con ganas de solo quedarse en casita.

shedding

so i've decided to use my blog as blog are supposed to be used. at first i saw it as a place to add funny and odd things to post but i have made it less personal. i think it's good to document what's going on in my life and maybe put it out there and get whoevers advice or opinion. i guess my first entry is about my decision to finally change my name. i'm shedding the barcos... i'm letting go of my past. it does not identify me nor does it bring anything of value to my life. what has put this more into movement is the sad fact i no longer have a relationship to my father. he has dissappointed me in such a huge way that even if i would've tried to salvage something it would be hipocritical of me. he stands for nothing moral or value, he is filled with hate and what makes it more irritating he thinks he is more moral than people who have had to take his shit. he got balls ... let me just say that. so i'm shedding the name to shed his dark stain on the name.

oooh la la

it was a lovely trip. we felt closer if for no other reason than we were out of our element. paris was so romantic and dreamy. we were walking pretty much non stop ... we figured out the train system ... ate a lot of delicious treats... stole kisses between pics ... and discovered crepes with nutella yummmmmmmmm. i met ray's friend from university. she was funny and it was cool to hang out with someone from his past. i was a little on the jealous side but it quickly dissipated. i got my issues ... it wasn't that anything felt wierd. our trip started in paris for a couple of days then we set off to Nice.Nice was only one day and one night. It had beautiful mediterranean sea. The beach was filled with rocks but still quite beautiful. We had lunch at a little cafe that was playing some salsa music and had paintings with Frida Kahlo and Canitflas. We felt we were identified. We ate a delicious gyro on the way to the hotel and got lost which was quite funny because i got an enormous urge to pee. Next day we were going to Venice.

Venice was in carnaval... so it was super to see people in costumes. we did not have much time... bad planning on my part. We arrived at 7 pm and we had to get on the next train at 1pm. So, we quickly found our hotel and left our bags... went to plaza san marco and from there began exploring. Had dinner and drinks. There were some parties around. Some drunks... chics peeing behind a wall.. jaja and lots of other movement going on. we were up til 2 and then got up at 6am... to be able to have more time with daylight. We got some great shots and had time for breakfast at a little cafe by the hotel. We visited the museum Dorsay and visited the Basilica. Incredibly we did not miss our train. We were on our way to Cinque Terre.Beautiful pastel colored villages, hence the name Cinque Terre (Five villages). Fisherman towns and is not a very touristy area... people usually go if they are interested in hiking and good food. Very italian small town feel. We loved it... we would like to go back with summer weather to be able to lay on the beach and vegitate ... eating fresh seafood and drinking good wine. we spent a couple of nights and then set off back to paris. for another couple of days of the oooh la la french cuisine, french music and everything french we could live :)
