Time Flies!

I can't believe it's been almost 6 years without posting on this blog. I actually had forgotten my username and password, however I just gave it a try today and all of a sudden I remembered my log in info... and of course, It made me the happiest man in the world having my blog back.👯

I took this photo when I was about to arrive in Los Angeles
 (LAX)

I started this blog in 2011, .. today is December 20, 2017!! It really surprises me how time passes so quickly!
I think there is a lot to tell at this point, but I'm going to start by saying that I had a lot of fun this year! I travelled to the States; Miami, Florida... and also I went on a cruise to The Bahamas! My family and I really enjoyed this trip since we hadn't had the chance to spend time together as we did this last summer.
After getting back from vacation with my family I went to Los Angeles and stayed there for 6 months!!! I learned many things that I can't wait to write about... but for now, I just wanted to post something and give you guys some updates on what I'm up to. I will be sharing my whole 6 year adventure in future posts, so stay tuned!

Invitation (':

A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said “I don’t think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat.”

“Is the man of the house home?”, they asked. “No”, she said. “He’s out.” “Then we cannot come in”, they replied.

In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened. “Go tell them I am home and invite them in!” The woman went out and invited the men in. “We do not go into a House together,” they replied. “Why is that?” she wanted to know.

One of the old men explained: “His name is Wealth,” he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, “He is Success, and I am Love.” Then he added, “Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home.”

The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. “How nice!!”, he said. “Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!”

His wife disagreed. “My dear, why don’t we invite Success?” Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: “Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!”

“Let us heed our daughter-in-law’s advice,” said the husband to his wife. “Go out and invite Love to be our guest.”

The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, “Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest.”

Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: “I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?”

The old men replied together:

“If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would’ve stayed out, but since you invited Love, Wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!!!”

♥You Belong With Me♥

Merry Christmas!!! :D

May the good times and treasures of the present become the golden memories of tomorrow.Wish you lots of love, joy and happiness. MERRY CHRISTMAS!♥

Back To December-♥

Boy:

You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect - you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.

Girl:

He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.”

Thinking of you.♥

Every night I fall asleep thinking about you,

I have told myself that I'll see you this summer,

I have told myself not to worry,

But yet,

Every night, you linger in my mind.

You have made such an impact on my life,

I've never felt this way about any other guy,

I like you a lot,

I dream about seeing you again,

I think about what to say to you next time we talk,

Why can't I stop thinking about you,

You're in my poems,

My dreams,

My thoughts,

And on my notebook.

I want to see you soon,

So that I don't have to think about you,

I want to actually be with you.

“Somewhere there’s someone who dreams of your smile, and finds in your presence that life is worth while, so when you are lonely, remember this is true: Somebody, somewhere is thinking of you.♥”

This is for my favorite singer, Taylor Swift ♥

I may not be the strongest man, but I’m strong enough to stand up for you.

I may not be the hottest man, but I’ll be here to give you warm hugs.

I may not be the smartest man, but I’m smart enough to never leave you.

Babe, I’m not going anywhere and you can trust me on that.♥ ♥ (:

Give Your Best To Relationships♥

A boy and a girl were playing together. The boy had a collection of marbles. The girl had some sweets with her.

The boy told the girl that he will give her all his marbles in exchange for her sweets. The girl agreed. The boy kept the biggest and the most beautiful marble aside and gave the rest to the girl. The girl gave him all her sweets as she had promised.

That night, the girl slept peacefully. But the boy couldn’t sleep as he kept wondering if the girl had hidden some sweets from him the way he had hidden his best marble.

Moral of the story:

If you don’t give your hundred percent in a relationship, you’ll always keep doubting if the other person has given his/her hundred percent.

This is applicable for any relationship like love, employer-employee relationship etc., Give your hundred percent to everything you do and sleep peacefully.

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference (:

An old man lived alone in a village. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison.

The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation:

Dear Son,

I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my potato garden this year. I hate to miss doing the garden, because your mother always loved planting time. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren’t in prison.

Love,

Dad

Shortly, the old man received this telegram: ‘For Heaven’s sake, Dad, don’t dig up the garden!! That’s where I buried the GUNS!!’ At 4 a.m. the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns.

Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened, and asked him what to do next.

His son’s reply was: ‘Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad.. It’s the best I could do for you from here.’

Moral:

NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD, IF YOU HAVE DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING DEEP FROM YOUR HEART YOU CAN DO IT. IT IS THE THOUGHT THAT MATTERS.. NOT WHERE YOU ARE OR WHERE THE PERSON IS….

The Most Beautiful Heart♥

One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that he had the most beautiful heart in the whole valley.

A large crowd gathered and they all admired his heart for it was perfect. There was not a mark or a flaw in it. Yes, they all agreed it truly was the most beautiful heart they had ever seen. The young man was very proud and boasted more loudly about his beautiful heart.

Suddenly, an old man appeared at the front of the crowd and said, "Why your heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine." The crowd and the young man looked at the old man's heart. It was beating strongly, but full of scars, it had places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in, but they didn't fit quite right and there were several jagged edges. In fact, in some places there were deep gouges where whole pieces were missing.

The people stared ­ "How can he say his heart is more beautiful?" they thought.

The young man looked at the old man's heart and saw its state and laughed. "You must be joking," he said. "Compare your heart with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars and tears."

"Yes," said the old man, "Yours is perfect looking but I would never trade with you. You see, every scar represents a person to whom have given my love - I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they give me a piece of their heart which fits into the empty place in my heart, but because the pieces aren't exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they remind me of the love we shared."

"Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn't returned a piece of his heart to me. These are the empty gouges - giving love is taking a chance. Although these gouges are painful, they stay open, reminding me of the love I have for these people too, and I hope someday they may return and fill the space I have waiting. So now do you see what true beauty is?"

The young man stood silently with tears running down his cheeks.

He walked up to the old man, reached into his perfect young and beautiful heart, and ripped a piece out. He offered it to the old man with trembling hands. The old man took his offering, placed it in his heart and then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young man's heart. It fit, but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges.

The young man looked at his heart, not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever, since love from the old man's heart flowed into his.

They embraced and walked away side by side.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.

A Silent love Story♥

From the very beginning, the girl's family strongly objected on her dating him. They objected because of his family background and felt that the girl will have to suffer for the rest of her life if she were to be with him.

Due to her family pressure, the couple quarreled very often. Although the girl love the guy deeply, she would always seek confirmation of his love by asking him, "How deep is your love for me?" As the guy is not good with his words, this often result in the girl to be very upset. These various reasons causes the girl to vent her anger on him often. The guy endured the suffering in silence.

After a couple of years, the guy finally graduated and decided to further his studies overseas. Before leaving, he proposed to the girl, "I'm not very good with words, but I simply know I love you. If you allow me, I will take care of you for the rest of my life. As for your family, I'll try my best to talk them round. Will you marry me?"

The girl agreed and touched by the guy's determination, the family finally gave in and agreed to let them get married. So before he left the country, they got engaged.

The girl entered the working society, whereas the guy continued his studies overseas. They kept their love strong through emails and phone calls. Even though it's hard, neither of them never thought of giving up.

One day, while the girl was on her way to work, she was knocked down by a car that lost control. When she woke up, she saw her parents beside her bed. She realized that she was badly injured. She saw her mum crying and wanted to comfort her. But she realized that she could only muster a sigh. She has lost her voice...

The doctors explanation was that the impact of the accident on her brain caused her to lose her voice. When she heard her parents comforting her but she was unable to reply them at all, she broke down.

During the stay in the hospital, other than crying silently there was nothing else she could do. Upon reaching home, life seemed to go on normally. However, whenever the phone rang, the ringtone seemed to pierce through her heart. She had no wish of letting the guy know about her condition. She did not want to be a burden to him. Hence, she wrote a letter to him informing him that she does not wish to wait for him to come back any longer.

Following that, she sent the engagement ring back to him. In return, the guy sent millions of reply and countless phonecalls... The girl could only drown her sorrows in tears as she ignored them all.

The parents decided to move away, hoping that she could eventually forget everything and be happy. With a new environment, the girl picked up sign language and started a new life. She told herself everyday that she must forget about the guy.

One day, her friend informed her that he's back from abroad. She requested her friend not to let him know what happened to her. Since then, there wasn't anymore news of him.

A year later, her friend came back with an envelope, containing an invitation card for the guy's wedding. The girl was shattered. When she opened the letter, she saw shocked to see her name as the bride. Just when she was about to ask her friend what's going on, she saw the guy standing in front of her. He used sign language to tell her this, "I've spent a year's time to learn sign language just to let you know that I've not forgotten our promise. Let me have the chance to be your voice. I Love You. With that, he slipped the ring back into her finger. The girl finally smiled."

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails

Crecer sin dejar de ser NIÑ@ (:

Cuando se es niño todo parece ser tan perfecto, no hay imperfecciones solo días alegres y felices. Pero conforme la vida avanza y todo el mundo crece las cosas ya no se ven de la misma forma ¿cierto? Una bicicleta ya no te hace tan feliz, un helado o un globo no provocan la misma sensación de alegría que cuando niño, imaginar que eres un super héroe es sencillamente ridículo! O que hay del beso que mama o papa te daban al ir a la cama, y aquel cuento que nos contaban para soñar "con los angelitos". Hoy eso no es tan importante ¿verdad? 

A veces duele pensar solo en el hecho que en cuanto mas se crece, mas IDIOTAS se vuelven algunos, porque es como si la palabra "madurar" significara olvidar las pequeñas cosas que verdaderamente son importantes. 

No hace falta fingir, solo VIVIR! Dejar atrás el orgullo de "adultos" y "chicos maduros" es una de las mejores decisiones que se puede tomar, ya que no es necesario ser tan "normal" para ser feliz. Solo hace falta regresar a los años de maravilla, en donde las cuentas bancarias, el/la novia/o, el facebook, "los problemas", las peleas con los amigos, y las heridas parecían ser lo de menos. ¿Por que no regresar a esa etapa donde al patinar te caías,  llorabas por el golpe y a los minutos volvías a reír como si nada hubiese pasado? 

La vida es corta y no es necesario aparentar haber "crecido" para que los demás se den cuenta que lo único que se hizo fue tomar la misma decisión estúpida que ellos también decisidieron tomar... DEJAR DE SER UN NIÑO! 

No hace falta ser valiente, no hace falta fingir, no hace falta demostrarle a nadie que eres valiente. si tienes mucho miedo, ten miedo. cuando tengas ganas de llorar, llora. cuando tengas ganas de reír, ríe... VIVE EL MOMENTO! (:

Necesitamos ser AMADOS ♥

No es cierto que cada uno necesita un poco de amor? Cada niño, cada joven, y aun de aquellos que pensamos que no lo necesitan; los adultos también, los malos, los buenos, el pobre, el rico, en fin... TODOS MERECEMOS ESE AMOR que por naturaleza el corazón pide desde el momento en que nacemos. 

El problema es que no todos tienen el valor de mostrar esa necesidad, sin embargo eso no es lo verdaderamente importante, YO soy el que decide amar a los demás incondicionalmente sin importar la raza, el color, el tamaño o el estatus social. En la vida hay que aprender a amar aunque el corazón haya sido lastimado, se debe ser lo suficientemente valiente para levantar el rostro (aun así sea derramando lagrimas), guardar esas heridas y decidirse a seguir amando a todos, incluso, a aquel que nos ha hecho daño porque al igual que tu y yo, ellos también necesitan ser amados.

Uno aprende a amar, no cuando encuentre a la persona perfecta, sino cuando aprenda a creer en la perfección de una persona imperfecta.♥ :)

Dejemos de ser idiotas... (:

Arrepentirse es de idiotas, el que lo dijo no podría haber dado más en el clavo. Hacemos cosas a diario, cada segundo de nuestra vida está plagado de acciones. Emitimos sonidos, desperdigamos sentimientos a diestro y siniestro, hacemos y deshacemos planes para ajustarlos al tiempo del que disponemos, no podemos negar una y otra vez lo que hemos hecho, es tiempo perdido arrepentirse, quejarse de haber elegido esto o haber querido aquello.No estamos para ir siendo idiotas por el mundo, porque de esos ya hay de sobra. De todo se aprende, y de lo que más, de aquello que has escogido un poco menos bien, y que de una forma u otra te ha hecho dudar. Reímos, lloramos. Sería misión imposible que cada movimiento realizado por nuestro cuerpo, mente o sentimientos, se ajustara perfectamente a lo que buscábamos desde un principio.

On Love

Algunas personas dicen que el amor es ciego, pero creo que el amor es hermoso. Todo y cada uno puede sentir el amor... Las aves, los seres humanos y animales --- todos los seres vivos.

El amor significa cuidar y mostrar comprensión.

Amar significa estar ahí cuando alguien lo necesita.

Puedes amar a tus mascotas, tu muñeco, tu silla favorita, a tus amigos y familiares.

El amor puede ser casi cualquier cosa que quieras que sea.

El amor es una elección.

Ella es especial, no la lastimes, ámala! ♥

Ella no es perfecta. Tú tampoco lo eres, y ustedes dos nunca serán perfectos. Pero si ella puede hacerte reír al menos una vez, te hace pensar dos veces, si admite ser humana y cometer errores, no la dejes ir y dale lo mejor de ti. Ella no va a recitarte poesía, no está pensando en ti en todo momento, pero te dará una parte de ella que sabe que podrías romper. No la lastimes, no la cambies, y no esperes de ella más de lo que puede darte. No analices. Sonríe cuando te haga feliz, grita cuando te haga enojar y extráñala cuando no esté. Ama con todo tu ser cuando recibas su amor. Porque no existen las chicas perfectas, pero siempre habrá una chica que es perfecta para ti.

- Bob Marley

Lo Grande de Ser Pequeño...

Que curiosa que es la vida. Recuerdo las veces que, de pequeño, pensaba en las inmensas ganas que tenía de hacerme mayor. Tenía que ser rápido, muy rápido, para poder hacer todas esas cosas que mi niñez me impedía alcanzar. Y es curioso que, ahora que ya no soy un niño, no hay un día que pase sin anhelar todo aquello, y me doy cuenta precisamente, de que mucho de lo que hago tiene ese punto de madurez que me aleja de lo que persigo: poder seguir siendo pequeño. Porque los pequeños caben en los sitios pequeños. Pasan desapercibidos ya que apenas se les ve, y se les oye poco porque no hacen casi ruido. Son pequeños y precisamente por eso son tan grandes.
Y no es que yo no quiera ser mayor. No. Es que me siento mucho mejor cuando me hago pequeño. ¿Me seguís? ¿Alguien me sigue? Si lo haces, si lo haces, preguntate tras esta reflexión, por qué no es nada difícil impregnarse de la energía positiva que desprende un niño. Un pequeño. En cambio, no es nada extraño encontrarse con imperios de negatividad y tristeza alojados tras las palabras de un “no pequeño”. De un mayor. A lo mejor será que no evolucionamos, sino que sufrimos una profunda y completa involución mientras vamos creciendo. Podría ser. Mientras lo pienso, dejenmme decirles que la historia de mi vida es la historia de un niño, que decidió, solo cuando lo necesitó, tomar el camino de los grandes.

10TH GRADE (A LOVE STORY) ♥ :')

As I sat there in English class, I stared at the girl next to me. She was my so called "best friend". I stared at her long, silky hair, and wished she was mine. But she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. After class, she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before and handed them to her. She said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanted to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

11th grade

The phone rang. On the other end, it was her. She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how her love had broke her heart. She asked me to come over because she didn't want to be alone, so I did. As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine. After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of chips, she decided to go to sleep. She looked at me, said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

Senior year

The day before prom she walked to my locker. My date is sick" she said; he's not going to go well, I didn't have a date, and in 7th grade, we made a promise that if neither of us had dates, we would go together just as "best friends". So we did. Prom night, after everything was over, I was standing at her front door step. I stared at her as she smiled at me and stared at me with her crystal eyes. I want her to be mine, but she isn't think of me like that, and I know it. Then she said "I had the best time, thanks!" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

Graduation Day

A day passed, then a week, then a month. Before I could blink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body floated like an angel up on stage to get her diploma. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. Before everyone went home, she came to me in her smock and hat, and cried as I hugged her. Then she lifted her head from my shoulder and said, "you're my best friend, thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

A Few Years Later

Now I sit in the pews of the church. That girl is getting married now. I watched her say "I do" and drive off to her new life, married to another man. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't see me like that, and I knew it. But before she drove away, she came to me and said "you came!". She said "thanks" and kissed me on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

Funeral

Years passed, I looked down at the coffin of a girl who used to be my "best friend". At the service, they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high school years. This is what it read: I stare at him wishing he was mine, but he doesn't notice me like that, and I know it. I want to tell him, I want him to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love him but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why. I wish he would tell me he loved me! `I wish I did too...` I thought to my self, and I cried.



Live for each moment, SMILE, enjoy life!

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.

Today I still love you :)

I love you from the first day I saw your beutiful eyes. Today I still love you. But i don’t know how to express myself to you yet, may be tomorrow i’ll try again. It is very hard for me to open up my heart and tell you that I hope one day, you could open up your heart for me. I love you...♥
