Video Clips from Spring Break :P The Drama, The Love, The Fun Times...

Spring Break was amazing. Amazingly crazy, amazingly cute, amazingly thought-provoking, amazingly everything :) Hehe. Im in love :)




Im sure you dont want to know everything I was saying (we're stuck.. I abhor public restrooms.. all flights are either canceled or full.. we're still stuck in this darn airport .. it's been 9hrs.. 12 hrs.. 20 hrs.. we dont even want to keep track anymore... we haven't slept.. and someone just woke us up to vacuum the area we were sleeping on... how many flight waiting lists have we been on by now? etc etc :P) OMG my eye bags near the end :P The last part is the "plane-wash." They poured an ice-melting liquid on the wings of the 3rd plane we boarded :P I was freaking out, thinking they might take too long and we'd miss our time-frame for departure. But after that, we were finally on our way to KC. SoOoo Yeah.. this is a token of our empathy for American Airlines customers. Continental did it to us too.

AF is a wonderful musician :) He's kindly accepted to play during our ceremony.. It was a lot of fun to visit with him and share the joy of Easter with him and his congregation. The Lord Is Risen!!

Our friend A danced during the HELP program, which raised funds for the Bolivian disaster victims. It was so much fun, the food was good, and the company was even better :)
Sorry.. video was too long. I will try to post it later on.

I was on the T today...

Going towards Cambridge.. snoozing.. happily.. and I woke myself up. Not snoring tho.. it was a sneeze. Two or three ppl chuckled..

Last night a sweet old man came in the wagon, a little intoxicated. He sat down beside me and asked me how my day was. Again (second time I do this in a month! ugh), trying to be positive, I smiled and said "..Good.. good..." --completely overlooking that his day must have not been that great. "How was yours?"
"Oh.. some parts of it were good.. some not so much"
I thought about a little quarrel I had with a professor that morning. "Yeah, that's the way it usually goes"
I dozed off for a little bit... day dreaming.. and then he tapped me on the shoulder to get my attention again "I'm happy that you're happy." That's when my mistake hit me. "It makes me happy to know other people are happy"
OMG.. Im so stupid..
I looked at him, meaning to say Im sorry. But all that came out, after a bit of a pause, was "Thank you." He smiled at me.. ear to ear. I was also smiling, but I was still embarrassed.

He got off at South Station. "Weell.. you have a nice day, young lady " He said...
"Yes, you too, sir.."
He fell on his way out, and a young man jumped out of his seat and asked him if he was alright and helped him up. The man said a heartfelt "Please excuse me.." and continued on his way out...
... and I came out of that train, twenty min after that, wondering if I would have felt the way I felt if he hadn't been a grandfather figure... if he hadn't been so lovable...

I learned the Bible verse when I was a child "Love your neighbor as yourself." Such a simple, beautiful principle. The basis of Christianity. And yet I still have some trouble loving a specific type of people. And even those whose life of loss or oppression or limited options I feel I can relate better to... sometimes I talk to insensitively.. I thought Id learned that lesson a while ago... Sometimes people dont need to know how great your day was.. especially if it wasnt that great to begin with... sigh..

But there it is.. I am amazed, amazed at how lessons come to me in the places where I less expect them.. hehe.. the T...

Y Dijo Dios, Sea el Fin...

Y fue el fin.

Mas o menos asi se siente. Abrupto. Irreverente. Semi-comico, agri-dulce. Casi ridiculo. Aparentemente incongruente, pero al final con alguna razon desconocida. Al menos solo eso me queda esperar.. porque por mas que pienso no logro entender como una familia puede sobrevivir al cancer para luego perderla por un accidente como este...

Ha sido una semana de aquellas. Todavia me siento fuera de mi cuerpo. Pero en fin.. ya paso --para mi, por la mayor parte. Espero que pase pronto para su abuela y su prometido.. y para sus amigos mas cercanos...

Por mi parte, pienso que no nos queda mas que celebrar su vida. La vida. Y nada mas.
