It's been almost a year, so let's just called it a year... Happy Blogbirthday to Me :-), is it cliche to say what a year?

It started high and then it went low, and low and deep and underground, got very close to the center of the earth and then I kinda off have a feeling that I can see the light again.... at the end of the tunnel... hold on, let me see... Ok, it's almost midnight, but I'm sure I'll be able to see it tomorrow morning... if it's not raining, of course... nope, don't worry, I have not turned glass half full person yet, for me that glass is still half empty, or is it half full? I'm confused, bottom line, suprise, suprise, I have not turned pesimistic and I'm my old still optimistic, I mean, otherwise, I would have stopped flying after the 4th in a row, delayed or cancelled or 8hrs wait or we lost your luggage incident, I would have not taken the trash out anymore after I fell and fractured my right thumb, on my right hand that I use to write, work, drive shift, cook... I would have stopped going to work after having to lay off people in my team and I would have not woken up after 6 months of working every day until 3am, I would have not talked to my friends, after not calling them forever and I would have given up on food after gaining 50lb out of stress, so yes, I'm still optimistic and you guys still don't know half of the story.

The good thing is that at the end, and it's always been the case, I remember the good things.

Just recently, my team coming to my office and wishing me Merry Xmas, bringing gifts, pistachos and a Xmas card after the most stressfull year that I've made them have, I remember a couple of nights ago celebrating the Xmas of Spirit at home with my friends and starting to feel the tinkling Xmas, I remember friends calling me despite the fact that I've forgotten them for the past 6 months and them saying don't worry we still love you! and most of all, I will remember tomorrow morning, when I get off the car, in front of my house in Caracas and suprise my Grandmother, who is turning 80 on Xmas day and is so not expecting me nor my sister, that will be the highlight of my year.

Guys.... Merry Xmas!!!!!!!!! Love you all and Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS: Now that my family is not reading any more... are you kidding me? the best of the year? The 7th Harry Potter Book, J.K. Rowling Rocks!!!!!!!

Hellooooo-oooooo!!!!! Anybody home? Where has everybody been? J Well, I guess the fact that I haven’t been around in a while hasn’t helped in having you guys stay around. There were many occasions in these past months were I wanted to jump and write, let you know how happy I was that Spain won the European Cup, my oh my, was I happy, I jumped, I cried, yes, I cry…. I cry watching golf, I cry watching the Olympics, I cry watching the Oscars…. Just thinking of how important that moment is for these people and what they should be feeling just fills me of emotions… seriously… seeing the French Women, who I already forgot her name (Sorry French friends :) ) win the Oscar this year or Javier Bardem, who I’ve seen and known and met and ate at his restaurant many, many, many times win the Oscar and Iker Casillas, San Iker, the little boy who got called from school to play with Real Madrid in a game in Russia because all the other goalkeepers were either injured or injured, see him stopping pen

Taking out the trash....

Well, who knew that this would change my life....? OK, not change my life, but mess up with the next 2 months of my life!!!! I'm officially complaining, I guess because I'm not used to have things take a bad turn, well actually not take the good one, I'm still looking for the purpose of this one... As some of you know, one Friday afternoon around noon, I was leaving my house to pick up a friend at the train station... so I leave home, with my bag, my keys and two trash bags, very important to mention that they were recycled paper bags, meaning that they were open bags, you do know that you have to recycle, right?... so here I am, on a sunny afternoon, walking the few feet to the containers when OUCH!!!!!!!!!!! I twist my ankle, it was seconds, but I saw it all in slow motion, me falling, my hand hitting the floor, my hand being hurt by the floor, my thumb taking an unfortunate twist... and Ouch!!!!!!!!!!! Again, it hurt... less than a second later I look at my hand and it w

Finding Freedom

  Today is Mental Health day and many people are sharing and posting to create awareness. Some of you might wonder why do we need to create awareness? For me it is very simple... if not treated it can cause death and you, yes you, who is reading this can be the beginning of the cure. Contrary to many physical health issues where we need medical doctors with years of studies, this is one condition that you, me, any of us can start the healing process by just saying: I hear you, tell me more, I love you, I’m here for you, I see you, I’ll stop by, let’s get coffee or tea, I believe you. You can be that one person that makes a difference and what a difference that is. Many of us tend to think we do not know anybody with this illness because there’s an extreme belief that you’re either found in a mental health institution or a dysfunction in our society and that’s not true. Before it gets to that point, long before, we are walking all around you. Yes, I said we, and more specifically me. I
