My friend Wendy...

“It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.”                                                                                  ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

Hola Chica(o)s!! Okay so today's post is about a friendships...as you guys are aware I created the blog so that I could share a little of what goes on in my life with you, so that maybe the distance that is between us would not matter as much. I still really miss all of you, and i'm very aware of how lucky I am to have met and bonded with each one of you...cause only you guys will always know how I truly feel at any point of my life..and more than anything I realize I am never alone. So thank you guys, all of you, new and a little old..I love you all :)
                                                             
Confession!! Okay so this post is about friendships..but its also about A friend, in specific, her name is Wendy. So I met Wendy here, in Mexico, my very first day at school. Although at first I thought she seemed like a girly girl who didn't really have much in common with me...the circumstances and really closed minded and odd classmates..made us stick together and make a team, that continues TO DATE!

Now Wendy and I are very different...but the same! We grew up in really different circumstances...and we have agreed that if we had gone to the same school, that we would HATE each other!! See I was the girl who was into punk music, had a hippy-ish vive...well you all know...and she was the girl who was similar to those in Mean Girls! Although deep inside me, I confess, if I had stayed in Mexico I probably wouldn't be any different from what she was in middle school and high school (yes Wendy seriously). So Wendy is that friend who knows what I do on a daily basis..we are in constant communication...(thank you technology)...and we are very similar in character! We are both girls who over think, we are lazy, we have difficulty when making tough decisions, we are shy ( i'm a lot more shy), we fake smiles when we don't feel good, we are smart, dedicated to our career, love music (but have different taste in it), we are a mess together..but it works for us..its our dynamic!!

 Wendy is the girl I went on a trip to the beach with, and I figured its the perfect time to introduce her to all of you (my other friends) because she is just as important to me as all of you. We actually lived together for about a year, and I have to admit that I miss her now that we are in different cities, but I just know that she will also be around my life for years and years to come. So thank you Wendy for being that friend that shares the same or similar, problems, heartaches, financial difficulties, good times and odd times with me :) And we shall keep on having our adventures...because you know that we are good at getting in trouble, and being dumb, and silly, and being embarrassed in front of each other...so it will go on!!
                                                               
So yeah, on a more non-gay and emotional way..well not really...Wendy apparently is way to similar to me..because she is also getting over a long (4 years) relationship..and so as you would imagine we need help sometimes...to deal with it all..we are way too emotional after all!!  So yes guys give us tips ..lol

                                                                  One night on 2011!

I got lost in Costa Esmeralda...

                                                                    

I have to confess...I made myself go to the beach this weekend and remembered why I liked it! I guess sometimes you just need a small break away from everything and this one was so much fun and so worth me not eating as well for at least a week :O

                                                               

                                                                   

So the place is called Playa Costa Esmeralda in the state of Veracruz here in Mexico. I actually have to confess that I fell asleep and missed my stop and was left at a small town called Gutierrez Zamora, like 40 minutess to the north, and ended up staying there for the night! At first it was quite scary knowing I had no idea where I was, but ended up being fun because I explored a little more, and learned that I can handle myself in strange-difficult-challenging situation. I actually didn't freak out as much, because I kept saying to myself "you're still in Mexico..they speak Spanish and so do you, so relax!" and I did.

                                             
                                                                Introducing Wendii!

                                                 Some crazy chick running with Bruno (dog) <3

The Hotel we stayed at (we because my friend Wendii was there to!) is called Taboga, and it is very comfy, very pretty, extremely relaxing, and the staff is very cool, and the food (and drinks) are awesome!! The beach was clean, pretty, well kept and not crowded at all. Although I was told that it was because of the season, apparently its not high season for vacations yet which worked to our advantage just because we got the room for 50% off and student discounts on the transportation :)

...now what do you put on after a sun burn?! ;)

Hello...again :)

Hey guys!  I didn't realize it's been more than a year since my last blog, and the very very last blog....Somehow my intentions always ended on a ''ll do it later" and this much time has gone by. Its easy to let things just get away from us, until you realize that its not only small things, like this blog for example, but much of your life. I've been stuck in a rut...not having the best of my days. I remember I used to see my friends crying non stop sometimes, because of a breakup, and I never really understood...until now. So I figured its better to start doing something I enjoy en get out of this rut. I miss you all and I hope this isn't too late. I've been away from my friends for a long time now, both old and new, and well like I've stated before, this is my way of making up for the lost time and for the distance. Love ya guys :)
