&amp;nbsp;I am and that won't change no matter how many documents are not valid, how many qualifications need translation, no matter how many people don't know what I can do!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;don't know if it is a bit delusional to think this, the world wants bright stars and not fireflies.

I've tried to put my finger on it, is it a longing for private space? is it a social status kind of thing? Maybe all of the above. &amp;nbsp;I'm sure it's a cultural thing, which clearly states I don't quite fit in since I come from a city built in a valley surrounded by mountains, which have made building mostly vertical due to lack of space.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if anyone understands the meaning of this, do let me know.&lt;br /&gt;Until then, can I just be happy in my lovely flat?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;******************************************************&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Yo yo yo&lt;br /&gt;listen up y'all&lt;br /&gt;uh&lt;br /&gt;let's go&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I live in a flat, so what?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;it's cute and I love it too&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;with a view of a park, how 'bout that!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;and it even has room for two loos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Boo hoo&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2987601341420019659-6695170543359026642?l=andacupoftea.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andacupoftea.blogspot.com/feeds/6695170543359026642/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2987601341420019659&amp;postID=6695170543359026642' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2987601341420019659/posts/default/6695170543359026642'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2987601341420019659/posts/default/6695170543359026642'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andacupoftea.blogspot.com/2010/10/i-live-in-flat-so-what.html' title='I Live in a Flat, SO WHAT!!'/><author><name>Moni</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-29J8MYJY-4k/TkUqVYO2AgI/AAAAAAAAAJg/KfmPOlZfxBk/s220/08042011597.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0WNd7qHwinc/TMdTSQJlMII/AAAAAAAAAIE/GTj5aadsslA/s72-c/CN00091502.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987601341420019659.post-4474077286710914416</id><published>2010-10-18T22:38:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2010-10-19T15:54:39.666+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Voluntary Amnesia</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0WNd7qHwinc/TLy8idsaNsI/AAAAAAAAAIA/KKG2pMItRCI/s1600/42-19328579.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0WNd7qHwinc/TLy8idsaNsI/AAAAAAAAAIA/KKG2pMItRCI/s320/42-19328579.jpg" width="317" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;My Great grandmother was a hypochondriac, so was my grandma. &amp;nbsp;Luckily (or not) it skipped my mother, but I think I've got it too. Today I want to share with you my latest self diagnosis... Voluntary Amnesia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A year and a half ago, I made the&amp;nbsp;decision&amp;nbsp;to end a long distance affair by making it local. All it took was the word Yes.&amp;nbsp; And with that yes came a move.&amp;nbsp; I left home happily and ready for a change and I knew I was getting into something different, different language, food, culture.&amp;nbsp; Little did I know that I was going to cross the migration desk and wake up the next day like I had been on a&amp;nbsp;multiple year comma with full on amnsesia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's strange this voluntary amnesia, you walk around in a sea of strangers, recognizing no faces (not even the celebrities), and you&amp;nbsp;seem to know things like a tree is a tree but appart from that, everything else is just "foreign".&amp;nbsp; So you have start from scratch because while on this sleep, the world has&amp;nbsp;forgotten&amp;nbsp;you as well and all you've done in your previous years of consiousness no longer applies or seems relevant or shows up on computers (it reminds me of the Vogons in The Hitchhickers Guide to the Galaxy). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you try to start over, and find a spot to ground yourself and start slowly trying to&amp;nbsp;bloom out of insignificance, try to reach out to make strange faces familiar but it's a big&amp;nbsp;waste of time because those faces have plenty of familiarity in their own lives, and as much as you try to share your wonderful experience in the world of sleep, no one has really been there before, so it doesn't really matter.&amp;nbsp; Plus this sleep has affected your speech and you're constantly sounding silly and can't even be funny anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I guess now a days Voluntary Amnesia is as common and global as the smell of greasy chips at the local McDonalds.

I had the most fun I had had in ages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I was younger, my sister and I came up with this cutting edge way of exercising without even noticing your were doing it. What we did was play the loudest music we could and dance like crazy lunatics who had lost control of their motor skills.&amp;nbsp; I guess it was just dancing, but we had so much fun and did it for hours without even complaining once.&lt;br /&gt;A few years later, having moved away and replaced my sister with an anti dancing Englishman, and having never been a fan of night clubs, I thought my dancing days were over, until I found Zumba!&lt;br /&gt;I had been to loads of "dance" aerobic classes before, but none of them had me jumping around doing air guitar before! I love it!&amp;nbsp; It's a selection of different rythms, from Rock and Roll, to Twist, to Salsa and even Cumbia (from Colombia!).&amp;nbsp; I have to say yes it is silly, but you will feel it the next day!&lt;br /&gt;So if you have the chance look for Zumba at your local Gym or Google it for classes. It will make you happy and hot!

They talked about her the whole journey and possibly continued once they got off the bus. &lt;br /&gt;I started thinking about this bitching&amp;nbsp;business, It's not like I don't do it, it's an international hobbie that everyone has done at some point, but why does putting someone down make people feel better about themselves?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;*******************************************&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Life is a B*tch&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Isn't life Fun?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Life has to happen&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;to Everyone&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;But if you don't Cherish it&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;If you're depressed&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Life will just kidnap you&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Make it much worse&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;'cause there's no way out&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;And you make it yourself&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;If you see the irony&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;You'll see fate itself.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;

font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;"Julie and Julia" is a feel good film that tells the story of two lovely ladies, a cook and a&amp;nbsp;writer&amp;nbsp;who blogs about cooking. &amp;nbsp;It is not a life changing story, it is not intellectual or revealing, it is a film that makes you smile and feel happy. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;I like smiley and happy, and pretending the world is a nice place. &amp;nbsp;I know some people like gloomy and preparing yourself for the worst so it won't hit so hard. &amp;nbsp;But I think it's better to live a happy life and then deal with it when it's bad news.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;

She was a GRANDmother, &amp;nbsp; she taught me everything I know about art and making beautiful things. She gave me fashion advise and trusted me with family secrets (of the artistic type). &amp;nbsp;She told me great stories about her childhood and crazy olden times.She was cute and smart and even if I came third in her grandchildren preference scale, I knew she loved me too.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I miss her but loved knowing her, I wonder if all grandmas are GRANDmas?

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-MX" style="mso-ansi-language:ES-MX"&gt;Año tras año, mes tras mes, las temporadas vienen y van.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Con ellas llegan diferentes momentos.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;El momento de refrescar el armario, el momento de abrigarnos, cubrirnos con capas o renovarnos al sacar al aire nuestros pies y nuestros brazos después de meses de haber hibernado dentro de medias y mangas.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-MX" style="mso-ansi-language:ES-MX"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-MX" style="mso-ansi-language:ES-MX"&gt;Cuando llega la primavera, nos sorprendemos al ver espacios llenarse de colores y texturas que habíamos olvidado existían.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;De pronto, todo a nuestro alrededor está&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;lleno de flores, colores, y objetos que nos llenan de esperanza ilusa que nos hace sentir un poquito más tropicales. Los estampados florales han sino una parte clave de la temporada de primavera/verano este año, los vestidos y las faldas tienen una estética con movimiento y frescura que animan el espíritu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-MX" style="mso-ansi-language:ES-MX"&gt;Como las hojas que habían desertado a los árboles en el invierno, las tiendas se llenan de repente de pequeñas prendas coloridas que habían sido olvidadas en el fondo de los closets.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;El bikini y sus accesorios ahora ocupan toda una sección dentro de los almacenes y es ahí que sabemos que se acerca el verano.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-MX" style="mso-ansi-language:ES-MX"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; El verano llega de pronto, y con él un montón de exigencias que crean en nosotros un instinto casi camaleónico de adaptación a tan esperado momento.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;Los colores vivos irrumpen de nuevo con los estampados (sobretodo florales y étnicos que han sido tan importantes esta temporada 2009).&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;Es hora de comprar el &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal"&gt;Special K,&lt;/i&gt; volver a tener silueta, manicure, muchos pedicures, hora de sacar las piernas, ¡hora de un bronceado!&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-MX" style="mso-ansi-language:ES-MX"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; El sol empieza a tener pequeñas apariciones en las funciones semanales de nuestra cotidianidad y cada instante de brillo genera hordas de seguidores con pantalones remangados que con expresiones aduladoras, concentran todos sus esfuerzos en devolver el pigmento a su piel con un bronceado.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-MX" style="mso-ansi-language:ES-MX"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; Para algunas personas esos momentos de sol son bastante efectivas y poco a poco el color reaparece; Pero para la mayoría de la población del viejo continente, el resultado si es que hay alguno es doloroso y vergonzoso.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-MX" style="mso-ansi-language:ES-MX"&gt;Es por eso que algunas personas, más de las que me gustarían, &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;pierden la paciencia (y la cordura en mi opinión) y recurren al tan popular auto bronceado.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Crema, spray o cámara que generan un resultado casi inmediato de bronceado.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;En teoría es la solución perfecta al problema, es fácil, rápido, evita la exposición exagerada&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;los rayos solares, pero la realidad es que los resultados son antinaturales, caricaturescos y sin querer ofender a nadie, un poco grotescos.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-MX" style="mso-ansi-language:ES-MX"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-MX" style="mso-ansi-language:ES-MX"&gt;Los colores del verano son vivos, rojo, verde, rosado, &lt;u&gt;naranja&lt;/u&gt;, los colores del verano se refieren a la ropa.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Viniendo personalmente de tierra tropical y habiendo visto el color de un verdadero bronceado, puedo decir que alguien cometió un grave error al traducir la &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal"&gt;piel canela&lt;/i&gt; a piel naranja.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;Es un poco irónico ver que una de las grandes tendencias de esta temporada es el “nude” o color piel, pálido, tan bonito y delicado como una piel natural.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-MX" style="mso-ansi-language:ES-MX"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Finalmente llega el verano y terminamos nadando en un mar de “Oompa Loompas” que honestamente es innecesario y el elemento perfecto para estropear cualquier, tendencia, estilo o prenda que nos regala el mundo de la moda en la temporada más alegre del año.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Es importante reconocer las cualidades que tiene cada aspecto de nuestra apariencia ynuestro origen y saber resaltarlas, por medio de contrastes, de siluetas o con accesorios que nos faciliten esa adaptación a cada temporada sin hacernos parecer artificiales.&lt;/p&gt;

Todos los días después del colegio y de 2 episodios seguidos de &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Saved&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;by&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;the&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Bell&lt;/span&gt;, empezaba &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Captain&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;PLanet&lt;/span&gt;!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5 niños o jóvenes del cada continente del mundo tenía un anillo que controlaba uno de los elementos de la tierra. Tierra-&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;África&lt;/span&gt;, Fuego-Norte &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;América&lt;/span&gt;, Viento-Europa, Agua- Asia y Corazón-Sur &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;América&lt;/span&gt; (corazón? &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;jaja&lt;/span&gt; bueno en fin el &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;indiesito&lt;/span&gt; de vez en cuando hacía una truco bueno, pero nada como fuego o agua).&lt;br /&gt;Cuando los 5 poderes se combinaban, se creaba &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;Captain&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"&gt;Planet&lt;/span&gt;; sujeto volador de piel azul y pelo verde (le perdonamos el &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18"&gt;mullet&lt;/span&gt; camionero por ser víctima post 80's) que siempre salvaba el día. Los villanos, me acuerdo, eran &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19"&gt;buenísimos&lt;/span&gt; (no porque fueran buenos, sino que eran originales). Aunque exagerados &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20"&gt;físicamente&lt;/span&gt; para &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21"&gt;aumentar&lt;/span&gt; su maldad, hacían lo que se hace a diario por personas promedio como talar árboles o tirar desechos tóxicos en lugares incorrectos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para la mayoría, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22"&gt;Captain&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23"&gt;Planet&lt;/span&gt; era una caricatura más y seguramente para mi también en ese entonces. Pero ahora, pensándolo bien creo que fue él quien creó mi más reciente delirio al que llamo "delirio de &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24"&gt;Captain&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25"&gt;Planet&lt;/span&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Desde hace aproximadamente un año, tengo metido en la cabeza de que tengo que salvar al mundo. Para muchos es una bobada, para otros no vale la pena el esfuerzo de una sola persona, según mi hermana soy una &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26"&gt;nerd&lt;/span&gt; obsesiva, pero a mi me gusta y aunque no pueda volar ni tenga poderes ya he desarrollado varios trucos para salvar el mundo!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Todo empezó el Diciembre pasado cuando fui al supermercado y tuve la astucia de comprar un objeto muy valioso!! Un &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27"&gt;timer&lt;/span&gt; de cocina en forma de tetera! No, yo no hago pies, ni galletas ni nada de eso, era para mi ducha.&lt;br /&gt;De &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_28"&gt;ahí&lt;/span&gt; en adelante mis duchas no iban a durar más de 5 minutos (con excepción de los domingos y días de alto grado de &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29"&gt;stress&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;Me costó un poco de trabajo convencer a los miembros de mi familia que lo adoptaran también pero de vez en cuando lo hacen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mi segundo experimento y tengo que admitir un poco desagradable, fue utilizar una &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_30"&gt;sola&lt;/span&gt; servilleta en un día. Mi dí cuenta que la &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_31"&gt;mayoría&lt;/span&gt; de las veces después de una comida mi servilleta estaba intacta y aún así se botaba y usaba otra luego. La verdad fue exitoso en cierto modo hasta que en serio se ensuciaba y no era capaz de guardarla.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luego siguieron pequeñas cosas como desconectar cosas alrededor de la casa por la noche, guardar &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_32"&gt;papelitos&lt;/span&gt; de sobres de té para reciclar, apagar luces &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_33"&gt;obsesivamente&lt;/span&gt;, caminar en vez de ir en carro cuando iba a lugares cercanos, no lavar alguna prenda a no ser que estuviera realmente sucia (no digan nada que todo el mundo recicla &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_34"&gt;jeans&lt;/span&gt; varias veces antes de lavarlos) etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finalmente he creado una nueva bolsa de reciclaje en mi casa, para envases y plásticos &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_35"&gt;reciclables&lt;/span&gt;. No ha tenido muy buena &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_36"&gt;acojida&lt;/span&gt; en mi casa ya que hay que &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_37"&gt;lavarlos&lt;/span&gt; antes de meterlos a la bolsa, pero poco a poco haré el lavado de cerebro necesario.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parece poco lo que hago y tal vez no haga mucha diferencia pero por lo menos yo estoy contenta porque estoy intentando. En mi opinión deberían relanzar a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_38"&gt;Captain&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_39"&gt;Planet&lt;/span&gt; en &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_40"&gt;TV&lt;/span&gt;, tal vez &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_41"&gt;así&lt;/span&gt; habrá otras personas que se inspiren como yo lo hice y empiecen a hacer algo por el mundo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Combinemos nuestros poderes! Es hora de que todos compren un &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_42"&gt;timer&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>Sobreviviendo el Malgenio..... de Otros</title><content type='html'>El día de hoy escribo desde un punto diferente de mi casa al usual. Debo agradecer de todo corazón a la persona que me está dejando usar su Wifi (sin saberlo) porque gracias a él/ella, puedo resguardarme de la ola de furia que ataca mi lugar de vivienda desde ayer por la tarde. Terminé siendo el "target" directo de aquella ola, ya que no hay nadie más que "chupe" y parece que el desquite no es lo mismo si no es con un ser viviente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A todo el mundo le ha tocado convivir o aguantarse a alguien malgeniado en algún punto de su vida. Padre, madre, hermanos, tías, amigos, jefes, novios etc. En mi caso he pasado por todos los anteriores y puedo decir de manera contundente que estoy HARTA!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cuando era chiquita, mi papá manejaba como un loco cuando se ponía bravo, y una vez entre Pasto e Ipiales, en la hora número 12 de nuestro viaje, le tiró la flauta de mi hermana por la ventana del carro, dejándola traumatizada de por vida (hay que aceptar que todos estuvimos aliviados de que no pitara descontroladamente nunca más).&lt;br /&gt;En el colegio tuve varias amigas que sufrían de rabía súbita. A muchas se les salía la fiera interna cuando jugábamos kickball o ponchado, desquitándose en las pobres que escogían de útlimas para los equipos.&lt;br /&gt;Había otras que no saludaban por la mañana y de sus bocas sólo salían monisílabos durante el día.&lt;br /&gt;No se puede juzgar, uno no sabe qué le estaba pasando a la otra, pero el problema fue que yo siempre he tenido un genio muy alegre y eso es tal vez una de las cosas que más hace brotar la furia en las personas malgeniadas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por ejemplo, cuando nos mudamos de casa, mi hermana y yo queríamos el mismo cuarto, asi que mi mamá lo rifó y gané yo. Lógicamente me puse feliz y empecé a silvar alegremente. Fue entonces que las uñas de mi hermana se clavaron en mi brazo, dejando dos cicatrices en forma de medialuna que 15 años después todavía se pueden ver.&lt;br /&gt;Tal y como esta hay mil historias de cuando le saqué la rabia a mi hermana, mi papá, mis amigas, etc., todas llevaron a repercusiones bastante drásticas como cuando todas mis Barbies aquirieron color rosa en su pelo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y eso que hacer que alguien de confianza se ponga bravo con uno no es tan grave, al fin y al cabo uno puede defenderse o ignorarlos sin problema. Es cuando el furioso es una autoridad, profesor, empleador etc. cuando las cosas se vuelven aún más frustrantes.&lt;br /&gt;El año pasado hice una pasantía en una oficina de comunicación de moda. Mi jefe, una catalana total, mezcla de Cruella De Vil, Miranda Priestly y la loca de Misery, tenía el ego hasta Marte y una paciencia inexistente. Además de eso, era de esas personas que desquita sus dilemas personales maltratando a los "inferiores".&lt;br /&gt;Dejándose caer sobre su silla preferida, dejaba salir un "JO, que momento" y se disponía a señalar todas las cosas que quería ver diferentes, usando palabras como estais "ciega, tonta, sorda".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El problema en este tipo de situaciones es que además de ser incómodas, se trata de personas alas cuales a uno en realidad no le importan, el respeto es más que todo profesional y hay que decirlo la platica es necesaria (y eso que mi pasanía no era remunerada). Por esa hay que tragarse las ganas de contestar o protestar, como dicen por ahi, por la plata baila el mono.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No estoy diciendo que a mi nunca me da mal genio, es normal y a todo el mundo le da. A veces por estrés, por preocupación, desespero, tristeza y muchas veces por ninguna razón (este caso es más común en las chicas).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A mi me sacan la rabia muchas cosas como hacer filas de banco, bañarme y que la toalla del suelo esté mojada, que me fumen encima, que alguien hable, conteste el celular o haga cualquier actividad en cine, esperar a alguien más de media hora, que me cuelgen el teléfono en medio de una pelea y sobre todo ME ENERVA que me estornuden encima sin taparse!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La clave de sobrevivir el malgenio es no desquitarse con los seres queridos que sin quererlo se te atraviesan en el peor momento.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cómo sobrevivir el malgenio de otros? la clave principal es evadir evadir evadir.&lt;br /&gt;¿Evadir qué? principalmente al rabioso, evadir ir a la cocina o lugares comunes de la casa, evadir decir algo extremadamente feliz y por experiencia, evadir el silbido alegre. Evadir y aguantarse las ganas de contestar y sobretodo evadir la pregunta ¿Qué te pasa?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para finalizar un buen tip que me enseñó un amigo que se ve amenazado por el malgenio femenino en su hogar: Bajar silenciosamente hasta la puerta y con ella ya abierta gritar "Chao".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2987601341420019659-3213503532152829013?l=andacupoftea.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andacupoftea.blogspot.com/feeds/3213503532152829013/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2987601341420019659&amp;postID=3213503532152829013' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2987601341420019659/posts/default/3213503532152829013'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2987601341420019659/posts/default/3213503532152829013'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andacupoftea.blogspot.com/2008/04/sobreviviendo-el-malgenio-de-otros.html' title='Sobreviviendo el Malgenio..... de Otros'/><author><name>Moni</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-29J8MYJY-4k/TkUqVYO2AgI/AAAAAAAAAJg/KfmPOlZfxBk/s220/08042011597.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987601341420019659.post-6286919312566534653</id><published>2008-03-09T22:48:00.001Z</published><updated>2008-03-09T22:50:23.557Z</updated><title type='text'>China El Almacén de la Esquina</title><content type='html'>Este fue un artículo que escribí para la revista MIXX de Puma en Argentina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¡2008 ya!  Ahora si empezó el nuevo siglo y con él la globalización, el marketing, la segmentación, las tiendas especializadas, lo importado, lo local, los artesanos, los especialistas.  Hoy en día ya hay un lugar para cada cosa; Una tienda especializada donde conseguir el producto específico buscado, ya sea un pan integral, unas tijeras de tela o un material artístico.  Además de eso está el Internet, ya no sólo conseguimos lo nuevo sino también lo viejo, lo “vintage”, lo perdido y lo inexistente.&lt;br /&gt;Por mi parte, aunque muy acostumbrada al nuevo siglo y bastante interesada en la globalización, cuando hace falta algo en mi casa, si no es algo de comida, o alguna medicina, yo no doy vueltas, yo voy a China.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cuando digo China, a pesar de lo que puedan estar pensando, no es el país más poblado del mundo ni  donde está la muralla a lo que me refiero.  No, China es el almacén que hay a la vuelta de la esquina donde hay de TODO. &lt;br /&gt;Espero no estar siendo políticamente incorrecta ni nada por el estilo al referirme al lugar como China, siendo “El Euro-Bazar” su verdadero nombre.  En mi opinión es más que lógico, ya que en este pintoresco lugar además de sus propietarios todo es “Made in China”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Atraída por la estatua de tamaño real de un San Bernardo que llevaba en su boca un letrero de “welcome” entré por primera vez en el almacén. Para mi sorpresa me encontré con una aglomeración de productos que llenaban filas de estanterías sin mucho orden.  Después de un breve recorrido todos mis problemas estaban solucionados. Ese día entré con intriga de ver qué pasaba en aquel local\bazar\miselanea y salí con sobredosis de color, un cuaderno, colores, una esponja para la ducha en forma de pez, una caja de chicles y un florero (los últimos 3 totalmente innecesarios).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actualmente hay en mi casa vasos, jabón, dos floreros, kit de uñas, moldes, CD’s, pinzas de pelo, tabla para picar, una tetera, cucharas de palo, tendedero de ropa, marcadores, colores, tijeras, pegante, chicles, cepillo de lavar el inodoro, cortinas de ducha, una alfombra, detergente, toallas de baño, cuadernos, pantuflas, sobres, libreta de recibos, ambientadores etc. Todos de China (También quiero una tostadora). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quién sabe cuál será la estrategia de marketing que manejan en China.  La verdad no le encuentro mucha lógica.  La disposición de los artículos es bastante aleatoria, toallas, ollas, DVDs XXX, jabones, condimentos y ambientadores, todos en una misma fila.&lt;br /&gt;Tal vez quieran atrapar al consumidor con el factor sorpresa. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He llegado al punto en que cada que necesito algo, termino diciendo, “en China debe haber”.  Se ha convertido en mi “guilty pleasure” en estos momentos en que todos hablan de la invasión asiática, de lo barato que es la mano de obra en ese continente, de que hay que ponerse las pilas o aprender mandarín para no ser desbancado por precios más bajos y grandes cantidades de mercancía, y yo en vez de apoyar los negocios locales de toda la vida sigo entrando por una cosa y saliendo con cuatro que ni necesito. Y no sólo es mi caso sino el de muchas personas que conozco, y probablemente muchas de las personas que estén leyendo esto se pueden relacionar.  Sólo en mi vecindario hay tres de estos almacenes, y créanlo o no todos tienen cosas diferentes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tocará hacer un esfuercito, aceptar el problema de compradora compulsiva (en China) y tal vez no volver,  o volver sin dinero en la cartera;  Tal vez encontrar una nueva ruta que evite los 3 almacenes que tengo cerca … pero todavía me falta la tostadora, el carrito de compras y la estera para llevar a la playa.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2987601341420019659-6286919312566534653?l=andacupoftea.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andacupoftea.blogspot.com/feeds/6286919312566534653/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2987601341420019659&amp;postID=6286919312566534653' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2987601341420019659/posts/default/6286919312566534653'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2987601341420019659/posts/default/6286919312566534653'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andacupoftea.blogspot.com/2008/03/china-el-almacn-de-la-esquina.html' title='China El Almacén de la Esquina'/><author><name>Moni</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-29J8MYJY-4k/TkUqVYO2AgI/AAAAAAAAAJg/KfmPOlZfxBk/s220/08042011597.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987601341420019659.post-1845223587846539396</id><published>2008-02-13T20:48:00.007Z</published><updated>2008-02-24T02:03:26.231Z</updated><title type='text'>De la Estimulación Intelectual y Otros Demonios....</title><content type='html'>"De la Estimulación Intelectual y Otros Demonios" Este fue el asunto que el novio de una amiga le escribió en un e-mail cuando entró en pánico al descubrir que estaba en una relación. (aclaro, se dio cuenta de que ellos eran novios).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Este chico permanecerá anónimo por su propio bien y para ahorrarle un bochorno a mi amiga que ya suficiente tuvo al recibir semejante atrevimiento.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En casi todas las cosas la evolución através del tiempo ha sido un cambio positivo y ventajoso para el ser humano; Por ejemplo, de la TV de rosca al control remoto, de la fila de 45 minutos en el banco al pago por Internet, de la carta por correo al e-mail. En casi todos los sentidos me gustan los cambios.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En el sentido de las relaciones interpersonales la evolución es como el atajo en el bosque que lo pone a uno a dar vueltas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Antes a un hombre le gustaba una mujer y decidía, la voy a cortejar! Así que directamente y sin rodeos le pedía permiso a los padres y juntos pasaban veladas románticas en la sala de la casa acompañados por un chaperón!&lt;br /&gt;Bueeno tampoco exageremos, eso del chaperón si estaba un poquito extremo, pero al menos había un mutuo directo acuerdo de qué era lo que pasaba en esa relación.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luego fueron pasando los años hasta llegar hasta este punto de subjetivismos, jergas y señales confusas que llevan a alguien a dudar sobre su relación.&lt;br /&gt;"Hola te presento a mi hmm, umm, emm" (sonrisa incómoda).&lt;br /&gt;Hoy en día se sella el trato con un beso pero qué trato?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me gustaban esos días de primaria cuando le pedían el cuadre a uno! Ya fuera mandado a decir, en notica o de frente. Era claro y directo.&lt;br /&gt;"Tal y tal se cuadraron!" osea son novios!&lt;br /&gt;"Lo estrelló" osea lo rechazaron, no son novios.&lt;br /&gt;Me acuerdo la primera vez que oí decir que a alguien lo estrellaron en el baile.  Con 12 años y recién llegada de otra ciudad, sin conocimiento aún de la jerga juvenil, me imaginé el peor accidente tétrico en el cual a mi pobre compañerito de cuarto de primaria lo atropellaban en el baile de garaje.  Triste...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Volviendo al tema, hoy en día se puede hablar por teléfono durante horas diariamente con alguien, salir todos los fines de semana, cogerse de la mano en cine y aplicar todos los derechos de los amigos con derechos. Pero ni el más profundo grado de intimidad va a definir el estado de la relación. Así que todo sigue como por inercia sin atreverse alguno de los dos a mencionar &lt;em&gt;la palabra maldita&lt;/em&gt;, la que daña todo, la que prende el botón de huir en algunos y que desarma hasta a los más fuertes ... novios.&lt;br /&gt;Y es cuando alguien finalmente se atreve o ilusamente la pronuncia,  cuando se despejan las dudas y se aclara el misterio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No hay que saber decifrar gestos y reacciones para entender qué es lo que quiere cada persona cuando se le desvela la posibilidad de tener un novio/a.&lt;br /&gt;Si aparece una sonrisa y los ojitos se iluminan, buena señal y posiblemente un "te presento a mi novio/a" en el futuro cercano.&lt;br /&gt;Si en cambio hay titubeo pasos hacia atrás e intentos de cambio de tema... mala señal.&lt;br /&gt;El miedo al compromiso es uno de los nuevos males del siglo XXI, la libertad ante todo y la buena vida también es lo que reclama todo el mundo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"De la estimulación Intelectual y Otros Demonios" fue el asunto del e-mail que recibió mi amiga y además la excusa que dio cuando se vio misteriosamente involucrado en un noviazgo (en el que llevaba 5 meses participando).&lt;br /&gt;La verdad me pareció muy poético(sarcasmo), no conozco a nadie que use la palabra estimulación hoy en día en un contexto "normal" entonces habrá que darle crédito.&lt;br /&gt;Reemplazó Amor por Estimulación Intelectual. Eso era lo que le hacía falta a su relación perfecta.&lt;br /&gt;Lo que no se entiende es porque se pasó 5 meses ofreciendo estimulación de otros tipos (amistad, cariño, telefónica, ustedes saben).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¿Qué pasó con las ya estandarizadas excusas como: "No eres tu, soy yo...." ,"estamos en diferentes lugares en este momento" o "quiero estar solo"?&lt;br /&gt;Tu no me estimulas intelectualmente, aunque válido no tiene mucho tacto y además suena HORRIBLE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hay que volver a pedir el cuadre! sin tener miedo de ser estrellado, HAY que volver a pedir el cuadre.&lt;br /&gt;Comunicación people, no quiero ni empezar en las confusiones que hay al terminar con alguien.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2987601341420019659-1845223587846539396?l=andacupoftea.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andacupoftea.blogspot.com/feeds/1845223587846539396/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2987601341420019659&amp;postID=1845223587846539396' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2987601341420019659/posts/default/1845223587846539396'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2987601341420019659/posts/default/1845223587846539396'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andacupoftea.blogspot.com/2008/02/de-la-estimulacin-intelectual-y-otros.html' title='De la Estimulación Intelectual y Otros Demonios....'/><author><name>Moni</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-29J8MYJY-4k/TkUqVYO2AgI/AAAAAAAAAJg/KfmPOlZfxBk/s220/08042011597.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987601341420019659.post-6499370590992428966</id><published>2008-01-31T16:12:00.000Z</published><updated>2008-01-31T16:17:05.257Z</updated><title type='text'>The Ballad of Missing</title><content type='html'>Miss, miss me, miss-ing, Miss in missing&lt;br /&gt;what ever happened to see you tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;What ever happened to see you at all&lt;br /&gt;what ever happened that made it all distance&lt;br /&gt;Miss misses mr., miss-ing, miss is me&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Miss in the morning is miss morning kiss&lt;br /&gt;When did it become normal to miss?&lt;br /&gt;When will the miss become miss-ed you?&lt;br /&gt;miss-in the evening of Miss in company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;miss-ing not miss-ed, it's still going on&lt;br /&gt;miss-ed is miss-es you tend to hold on&lt;br /&gt;missed it is not Miss, Miss is miss you&lt;br /&gt;Miss ME misses constantly&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I miss&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2987601341420019659-6499370590992428966?l=andacupoftea.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andacupoftea.blogspot.com/feeds/6499370590992428966/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2987601341420019659&amp;postID=6499370590992428966' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2987601341420019659/posts/default/6499370590992428966'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2987601341420019659/posts/default/6499370590992428966'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andacupoftea.blogspot.com/2008/01/ballad-of-missing.html' title='The Ballad of Missing'/><author><name>Moni</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-29J8MYJY-4k/TkUqVYO2AgI/AAAAAAAAAJg/KfmPOlZfxBk/s220/08042011597.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987601341420019659.post-67855962582829437</id><published>2008-01-25T20:52:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-02-08T17:13:27.273Z</updated><title type='text'>Crónicas de un Uaraman</title><content type='html'>¿Uaraman?

There’s Others Much Worst Out There</title><content type='html'>Everyone has an inner freak. Call it childhood trauma, psychological scar, mania or condition. Whatever, we’re all a little freaky on the inside and believe it or not that’s what makes us normal now a days. It’s true that the dirty laundry is washed at home and some people successfully get away with being perceived as perfect or better yet problem-less, but I say those people are the most screwed up. Plus having an inner freak can turn into your “party trick”, lift a boring conversation or find things in common with a new friend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the past few years I have come to detect, accept and embrace my inner freak to the point I have come to recognize it as a unique traits that define my messed up self, and gives me a little humour (because there’s nothing worst than being messed up and bitter.)&lt;br /&gt;So yes, I love to adjust wrinkled carpets, I carefully re-stack flyers, pamphlets, brochures and any paper stack I find at banks, offices, ice cream shops etc. I have a serious sneeze trauma (no breathing for 5 seconds at least after anyone has sneezed), I collect the tickets from all the movies I go to, OH and I can’t forget my amazing party trick that is 100% effective against awkward silences, my freaky hands! One “hey my hands can fold completely” and the party is alive once more. All of that among others make up my inner freak and I kind of like it, actually from what I’ve discovered, I wouldn’t trade it for anyone’s ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, why would you want keep your IF?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lately due to life circumstances, I have come to spend a lot of time with family members I’m used to seeing but I have don’t really know and I have realized my paper staking-finger folding freak is as decent as they get.&lt;br /&gt;Last month my very single aunt who parties like a rock star and travels like one too, was feeling uneasy and stressed out; She was being really uptight about the cleanness of her flat. She would clean, wipe, mop, sweep, pic up, re adjust and dusted all day long every day. And not only did she do this at her place but every ones. It was like having your own personal cleaning robot who picked up after every chocolate wrap, empty glass, and plate you set on a table 2 seconds after you were done eating. So a Friend of hers suggested that she had to learn to relax and not let stuff like a little dust ruin her days. All she had to do was get up one morning and start her day BUT not make her bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I know, for most of us making a bed is one of the things that make us desperately wish for the “The Jetsons” era to arrive quickly and for us to have robots and machines that make our beds, and change us into our Pj’s. Believe it or not for most people who were raised before the 60’s it’s a very important responsibility that can never EVER be left undone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, coming back to the crazy suggestion, my aunt actually took the risk and one random morning, she got up and went straight to breakfast, leaving her perfect bed, unmade.&lt;br /&gt;10 hours later, moments away from a nervous breakdown, she went back and folded her blankets, flattened her pillows and her breathed normally.

Rico pero Complejo</title><content type='html'>Amor de lejos!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suena muy romántico, como los recuerdos de nuestros antepasados que se pasaban meses a la espera del barco que traía una carta o a una de esas historias de largas esperas, recibes cartas y te emocionas! .... te esperaré mi amor, hasta que se acabe el mundo.... Después a los 89 años los dos amantes se reencuentran después de toda una vida y fin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No no no, sin ofender yo no le veo nada de romántico a eso. Es más, fue un final tal y como ese el que me dañó el que pensé era el mejor libro que me había leido el año pasado "Captain Corelli's Mandolin" (a los que se vieron la película, por favor leanse el libro, es mil veces mejor y no incluye a Nicolas Cage ni Penélope Cruz).&lt;br /&gt;En fin, en el libro, después de varias décadas de espera, una guerra, un terremoto y muchas cicatrices emocionales, los dos amantes, al fin se reencuentran y listo, Fin.&lt;br /&gt;Tal vez ellos quedaron satisfechos pero yo no; Leí hasta las 4 de la mañana para que Carlo y Pelagia pudieran estar juntos al fin, a los 80 años?????&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bueno tal vez la enseñanza que hay que sacar de eso es que el que persevera alcanza, no importa cuanto tarde.... hmm?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La verdad es que el amor de lejos si es una prueba de &lt;em&gt;amor&lt;/em&gt;, fidelidad, aguante, paciencia, cordura y relajación.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El que se mete en esto está cegado por un sentimiento muy intenso de afecto y felicidad que le lo llena de positivismo e ingenuidad suficiente para medírsele lo que sea. Siendo "lo que sea" no sólo la distancia si no las diferencias de horarios, los costos de la telefonía internacional, las películas mentales y el nacimiento de una pareja imaginaria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hace pocas semanas tras finalizar mi cita diaria con mi "conexión en el extranjero" osea el e-mail diario, me di cuenta de que mi relación, más que un noviazgo de lejos era igual a la que tuve en tercero de primaria con mi pen pal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PEN - Lapicero PAL - amigo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En mi clase de tercero la profesora siendo también extranjera, nos asignó a cada uno un amiguito/a de un colegio en Los Estados Unidos para escribirnos cartas con ellos. En cada carta narrábamos detalladamente los sucesos más emocionantes de nuestras vidas y esperábamos con ansias la respuesta de nuestro amigo en el extranjero. No duró mucho, eso si, ya que a algunos compañeritos les dio por inventar que eran hijos de Pablo Escobar lo cual no fue muy bien recibido en la USA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Volviendo al tema, afortunadamente hoy en día tenemos el internet que nos permite una comunicación inmediata con el ser lejano. Y aunque no podamos ir a cine o a comer o darle picos a la pantalla, si es mucho mejor que esperar a que llegue el barco que zarpó con la carta hace 4 meses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y aunque parezca horrible, también hay cosas buenas que salen de una relación así.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por ejemplo: aunque suene cursi, recibir cartas siempre va a ser romántico y emocionante. La relación no se volverá monótona porque cada vez que haya un reencuentro habrá novedad. Habrá incentivos para para un ahorro disciplinado y disculpas para hacer un viaje.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Así que todo lo que involucra un amor de lejos es parte de un compromiso, un estilo de vida atípico en cuanto a relaciones interpersonales se refiere.&lt;br /&gt;Es difícil y complejo a la vez especial, pero si es posible que funcione (mi mejor amigo acaba de cumplir un año de casado con su novia de lejos de 7 años ). Entonces para los que se aventuran al amor de lejos, tengan en cuenta que, y así suene lógico, siempre es indispensable que haya amor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Voy Bien&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2987601341420019659-1122473161860511330?l=andacupoftea.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andacupoftea.blogspot.com/feeds/1122473161860511330/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2987601341420019659&amp;postID=1122473161860511330' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2987601341420019659/posts/default/1122473161860511330'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2987601341420019659/posts/default/1122473161860511330'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andacupoftea.blogspot.com/2008/01/amor-de-lejos-rico-pero-complejo.html' title='Amor de Lejos...
