Flores :)



I wasn't going to brag, but he's talked about it...jiji... so .....
Aren't they gorgeous? :D ! He sent one after the another.. after another.. a wonderful week full of surprises, like that wonderful week last September. I do love surprises... a "stroke of genius," he said it was.. hehe... it sure swept me off my feet.

and... hm.. I ate the fruit, sweetie... jiji... aaand the cheese... gone already. I took pics before eating it, only not with the webcam, so I have to wait till I finish the film and get it developed. jeje....

So yes, friends... This is the wonderful, sweet, thoughtful man I've fallen for :)

It's September Again

Es Septiembre Otra Vez


“Escribiré,” dije en septiembre,
“Una disculpa, por cada locura
Que te he hecho pasar”

Lo sé…
Que es septiembre otra vez,
Y no, no me disculpé
Por el delirio, el caos, el desvarío,
..........Yo lo sé…

Sé que mi advertencia,
Se ha ido a la incoherencia,
Que pierdo el equilibrio
..........Y sin redención.
Que pongo a prueba la inocencia,
La mía, la tuya, y la prudencia
Sin disculpas, sin cordura,
..........Y luego cambio de opinión.

Pero, mi amor, entiende:
No puede disculparse,
Un corazón, y públicamente,
..........O no, mi amor,
No puede disculparse,
Ni por error, un corazón
Que no lo siente,
..........Y no lo siento, amor.

Y es septiembre otra vez…
Amor, y otra vez doy pasos
-de salsa o no- y sus
..........Recuerdos, ya son añejos
Son tuyos, son nuestros;
Y tuyo cada beso, aún si me alejo,
Y hasta la galleta en el suelo…
..........…y no lo siento, amor.

No puedo disculparme
Si finalmente me besaste,
Si no sólo el cielo, sino hasta la curiosidad
..........Si mi mente,
Cambió de color drásticamente.
Si amor, de noche platicamos
Si caminamos, si hasta bailamos,
..........Si nos quemamos… no lo siento, amor.

Si es septiembre otra vez,
Y mi árbol por conocido
Logra explicar con su vejez
..........sus ramas alrevez
O su belleza alocada,
Como la mía ( ¿tal vez?)
Y a la vez serena, amor,
..........como tu fuerza, ¿recuerdas? Pues, no lo siento, amor.

Amor, no lo siento,
Si me has ganado el aliento,
El duelo, el queso! Amor, el vuelo, el o…
..........Y déjame te explico
Que un corazón,
No puede disculparse, amor,
Si no lo siente…
..........Y no lo siento, amor.

No puede disculparse
Mi corazón, si finalmente,
Si llegaste y el tempo, el son,
..........Por fin cambió
Si no me importan las veredas en la madrugada,
Si me da igual el bar, balcón, el restauran…
Si es de menos donde nos vemos,
..........Mientras te tenga,
..........Amor, lo siento
..........Pero no me puedo disculpar.

necesito odiar a alguien!!

Harvard has just reduced my student loan to 1/3 of the original amount. lol. I saw no small captions saying "subject to change without previous notice"on the master promisory note.
But yeah. It's International student policy. Only 2,500 a semester. I pay close to $700 on rent. Demonios! Aun con el trabajo... de donde se supone que saque para comida... transporte... libros... POR QUE no me dijeron antes? Me hubiese quedado en casa!!!
I'd like to hate on the US' illogical ideas against international students. I know a lot of my friends are from the US. but I'm getting sick of immigration issues. this is too much.
I am so mad. I wish I were home..

it's the "itinerary" for the Rush party..


"7 PM Dinner
9 PM Martini Ranch
11 PM Babalu's
2 AM Cuquita's
4 AM Afterset
7 AM Back to Cuquita's for breakfast!!

That's how we roll........"

I'd just like to say that I feel old. LoL.
3 days short of a year ago, I was writing blogs at 3.30 in the morning. Yes. very important blogs too.

Now most of my blogs are typed between 6 and 10pm.
LoL. Im older than my fraternity married with children friends.

ok. back to the books :P

Pretty much settled...

SoOooo... winter hasnt started yet (though it will...very very soon), and I feel like Im pretty much settled. my room is starting to feel like home, I've chosen my classes, I've been getting to know the roomies, I've gotten IBM to fix my keyboard (or at least to say they will), and I've gotten all of my paperwork in for the bank. I even got a job... jiji... a very well paid job too: $14 and hour, for setting up computer equipement (which takes, what? 15 min when its real complicated?) and I get to choose which specific jobs I want to do out of a schedule...
aaah... it's a nice feeling...
Ah! LoL..!! it just started raining. jaja... had to happen :p!
hm... well... aside from some bad news Ive gotten from one of my friends (now I know what B meant in that blog, that friends' trouble usually affect us too) and the fact that Grandma still won't pick up the phone, everything else has gone pretty well. school gets more interesting by the minute... a lot of reading... but ah well... Im not minding it quite yet... and Im learning Greek! cool cool stuff...
I also got a really nice call from Roomba Mom giving me good news. I really appreciate it it! I used to brag about Quijote... now I don't know if I brag more about him our about you guys. jiji..
Hm.. well... its been a crazy week... its been a crazy month...
I have fallen asleep in class already... I've drank someone else's coffee... I've gotten lost in a 30ft long building...
I've also tried to get to Office Depot on my own. I went online and got directions. Bus, subway, then bus again, then walk... according to the directions. but I decide to skip the first bus and take the subway. Oh surprise... I get lost. :P I always do... grr... So a security guard gave me directions... ah...Lord... well... he tried writing on the same paper where I had my directions but his pen wouldnt work on that paper... so he used another paper. I went ahead and took the subway again (he let me in so I didnt have to pay...jiji) and after an hour I was at the last station. woohoo... but not for long. that's when I realized he had kept the directions I had wrote. so with no address, and not remembering what bus to take there, I rode the subway back and after another hour and a half, I was home. Very productive day :P!!

I was very productive the other night though... got a tentative plan for my MDiv all figured out *Imagine the Lord laughing full heartedly at me*
I think I'm doing my 2nd year paper on Paul's socio-political biases and its effect on the hmm... building?.. of Orthodoxy... Still pretty general... but I have abit to think about it. soOoOooo... Im doing Greek and Early Christianity courses... and starting the reading right away...
As for the thesis... well.. Im even more iffy about that one :P Thinking about doing something on the Apocryphal Jesus... "The Silenced Jesus" I want to call it ...lol... I have a title and Idont know what the paper is going to be...jiji... but yeah... something on how (and WHY) the Church has silenced the Historical Jesus by editing so many of His sayings. Maybe too negative as it is now.. but I just want to go into how the Church built its conception of Jesus... I think we still pick and choose... and I think its a fascinating little tendency... and I think it was a lot to do with the claims we like to make about us being the One and Only Church....
ok...
jeje...
Minino is off the phone...
:P

Im exhausted.

Dead tired.
Orientation from 8am-6pm or 7…or 8.
Every day.
For a week.

It’s a bit overwhelming.

I may be somewhat of a social person, but Ive come to the conclusion that I can only be politely social for so long --especially when I’m brain dead :P
In any case, I do suppose it’s better to have too much information than to have too little…
Jeje…

And the people around school are nice; I like my roommates; and even more relieving (I think…maybe this isn’t such great news, but still…great to know), there are about a hundred classes that fit my idea of the perfect course. Amazing, fascinating subjects. In-depth study. Professors who wrote half the books on my shelf. Great stuff.

So today I have to finish cleaning my room. And I have some emails to send, and definitely lots of academic planning to do.

So yeah… exhausted… but I’ve still got a lot of work to do before I can start enjoying the new surroundings… jeje…

.:: Last Day Home ::.

Im leaving to Boston tomorrow....
it's a weird feeling.
last night I dreamt I was going to undergrad in harvard and everyone was litterally from outerspace. weird thing it wasnt ME the one looking funny... but I sure was the one feeling funny.
strange dream...

Uncle Daniel is throwing a dinner party for me tonight... should be fun. I loved that he invited everyone "So we can pray for her together before she leaves"
I am going to miss them a lot.

leaving lots of stuff at home... hehe... making sure they dont turn my room into an office or something!! lol... naw... I just happen to have a weight limit... Moving all of your stuff in an airplane is definitely not the best idea. But Im not driving there. LoL. ooooh gosh... no. not driving there.

Dad is coming with me. Im so relieved. At least Ill be dropping someone else at the airport at some point. I seem to be the only one in this family that always has to leave. I havent left yet and I already feel the urge to come back home.

So... Mom and I are leaving to the grocery store to buy stuff for my favorite dish. Pollo (chicken) a la Poblana (with chile Poblano sauce). Great stuff. I can make it for you guys some day.

Last day home. Cant believe its happening...
