Hell of a weekend

While I read my share of blog post of my favorite people, I notice that on Monday we celebrate Labor Day. But while other people go on trips, and organize a mini-vacation or road trip I slighly remember I’m gonna be working all weekend long.

Since Thursday night, I’ve been working my butt off at my job. Then Friday, and now Saturday, my whole day has gone off with a lot of work, work, work. Tomorrow is my last day of work for this week and I’m just praying for it to be over. My body cannot do anything more. Everything is sore and hurts. And with that said I feel like I’m getting a very bad case of the flu over all of that.

Dhalmarie and me working!

I love my job, but sincerely this week has been hell for me. I’ve been so tired. But mostly, I think that mentally I have not been there. Feeling a little sick, wanting to be with my family and friends for the weekend and not being able to do so is also working its way with me. Next weekend is also going to be a working weekend. I’m already planning what to do during the week with the hubby. I still have to study but I know I can manage to escape for a couple of hours and have fun.

Funny moment of the day: I broke my pants open. At least it was getting in to the car when I got off from work.

Oops!

 

Don’t know what am I going to do tomorrow for work pants but I will figure something out.

Mother to a Furbaby

I consider myself a mother. I’ve never been pregnant nor intend to be in the near future, maybe in a couple of years. But still, I consider myself a mother. To whom? To this little furbaby…

Pinky, my male chihuahua

Pinky is my 6 year old, male chihuahua. I bought him when I started college and living away from home. My ex-boyfriend gave him to me as an anniversary gift. I remember when I went to pick him up. He was so little. He was only 6 months old and also very afraid. Since then, he has clung to me like glue. I’ve had pets before, but I’ve never had a dog so smart.

Sleeping beauty

First of all, he sleeps with me. Every night, mostly near 11pm, if I’m not in bed, he starts pouting. ( Yes, he pouts if he wants attention or wants something). He starts moving through the hall, eyes on me and stops in front of my room’s door. I know he wants me to go to bed. He doesn’t go to sleep alone. The only way is if he has a night light and the fan on.

Getting him to eat is a challenge. He doesn’t eat any kind of food. We tried Beneful, the one with the vegetables and like a 6 year old, he threw them out of this plate. He hated it. We tried Pedigree dry food and because of a dental problem he had early in life, in which he lost two of his teeth, it’s very difficult for him to eat it. Then my mom and I tried to give him Pedigree canned food and he loved it for a couple of weeks and then he started not eating. Since then, we discovered something. Like us humans, we don’t like eating the same thing over and over, so neither does he. We have to change his canned food to different flavors and to that add boiled chicken that we specially do for him. And to add to the madness, he avoids the beautiful eating bowl I bought for him and only wants to eat from this stupid plastic. *Yes he is spoiled*

Why bother?

When it’s time to go potty, he is very well trained. He doesn’t do anything indoors, but to all great news their is a challenge. If the backyard is wet, that rule goes out the window because he doesn’t like getting his paws wet. He prefers getting timed-out for bad behavior than getting his paws all muddy and wet. He doesn’t like loud noises nor a lot of people. He gets really nervous. I know all of this is my fault of letting him be with me and only me during his early years, but still I’m trying to incorporate him into society. But still, he is my baby. I love him very much and all of his doings make me laugh and makes me know how special I am for having a furbaby so incredible like him.

TV series: Sons of Anarchy Review

For some time, my boyfriend Yuyo, (let’s imagine that’s his name), has recomended me some tv series to watch. But I have to admit, I don’t listen. I want to watch whatever I want. I don’t give much credit to recommendations others give to me. Some of those series he had recommended to me where The Shield and Sons of Anarchy. I haven’t started The Shield because I really am not in the mood.

Two weeks ago, I was browsing through Netflix and I saw Sons of Anarchy on my recommended list. I remembered starring at it for a while wondering if I should click the remote and choose it already. I finally gave in and I have to say I’m mad I haven’t done that sooner. I have to say it’s one of the best series ever. Matter of fact, the series writter is the same as in The Shield, so I think I’m going to start watching it soon. (That’s what I always say but I doubt it).

Sons of Anarchy is a drama about an outlaw motorcycle club in Charming, which is supposed to be a small town in Nothern California and with many charters in the United States and overseas. The show’s attention is focused on the original and founding charter, Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, Redwood. But most of all, the show centers on protagonist Jackson “Jax” Teller played by Charlie Hunnam as the Vice President of the club who begins questioning the club and himself.

Jaxx’s dad, John Teller and his friend, Piermont “Piney” Winston, co-founded SAMCRO . John died in 1993, supposdly runned over by a truck on 1993. His widow, Gemma, married Clay, another of the 9 original members of the club. John and Gemma’s son, Jackson (Jax), is Vice President of SAMCRO. Since the beginning of the series, Jaxx founds a manuscript that his father wrote about his beginnings in the club, how the club changed him, what it had become and what he wanted the club to be. All of this made him think about the present and the future and his internal battles begins.

 

This series is full of action, deciet, vengence, drama and love. It has all the potential in the world to keep you hooked to your tv for hours. And every season finale keeps you asking for more. Another this is that, the caracther of Gemma, Jaxx’s mother is portrayed by the one and only Katey Sagal. Maybe you don’t know her by her true name but, she jump into stardom in the series “Married with Children“, as Peggy Bundy. She being the “old lady” or wife of the President of the Club and mother to the Vice-President is well respected by all of the members. The see her as their own mother. She is fierce when somebody is messing with her family or club. Her character is one of my favorites.

 

Just give it a try. I know I did and I love it. It’s already on Season 4, which starts this September 6 through FX. Here is a short trailer that I know will motive you to give this series a try.

 

The Naughty Politician strikes

Yes, I have to talk about this. I’m Puertorrican, living right now in Puerto Rico and this news has shocked everybody on our island. I remember the day, when I saw Anthony Weiner‘s news. The  U.S. Representative that had to resign due to a sexting scandal, in which he posted a sexually suggestive picture of himself on his public Twitter account. And now, it seems, that this conduct is becoming more of a habit withing politicians worldwide. One of our own politicians has jumped into the naughty pictures wagon.

Last week, a Puerto Rican TV show uncovered the pictures of Roberto Arango, a Puerto Rican senator, that were discovered posted on an iPhone app called Grindr, which is a gay hook-up application who lets you meet gay, bi or curious men.

Since the beginning of the allegations, he denied any implications to this photos giving the next excuse:

“You know I’ve been losing weight. As I shed that weight, I’ve been taking pictures. I don’t remember taking this particular picture but I’m not gonna say I didn’t take it. I’d tell you if I remembered taking the picture but I don’t.”

After all the allegations,  Roberto Arango resign from his post. Now, being a Puerto Rican myself, I can’t believe this madness. Well, I can. From  my point of view, I see the mayority of politicians as lyers and hypocrites and I think with this news coming out I was pretty much right. Arango was the same politician that while running for his post used anti-gay remarks to offend his opponent. He stated that his opponent was a “Fag” and that nobody should vote for him. Now all I have to say to Arango is, Karma is a bitch!!! I’m a straight woman but still I have many gay friends and if I have to defend them I will. I what I don’t like is gay people talking badly about other gay people because they want to hide who they are. Grow some balls and be a man. Well be a gay man. And this goes for everyone, don’t offend people you may or may not know with disgusting remarks. You may never know when karma will get you back and its not going to be fun. Ask Arango. He was a well standing politicians, who made fun of gay people. Now, he is Arango, the stupid politician that showed his ass in a gay app.

Middle of the Year Resolution

This past weekend was very rough. It made me think back at all this past months and retrospect at all the things that I hated, that I loved, that I was ashamed of and discovered that I had to change my behavior and the way that I visualized life. So, today, while waiting for my class to start, I decided to do all of those things that I have always wanted, to be more motivated to reach my goals, to start doing what I really need to do and not letting it off for another day. I have lost this couple of days, what I consider, the important things that had happened in my life, so something has to change.  Wish me luck!

The Man From Nowhere Review

So last week, I decided to watch a Korean movie that had a very high rating on Netflix. It had 4.5 stars of 5. The movie is called “The Man from Nowhere“. I was a little hesitant at first. I didn’t want to waste time on a movie which wasn’t good because since I began working I don’t have that much time for me. But at the same time, I do love foreign movies. I think of them, well most of them, as great movies that people don’t give a chance. So, now I’m starting to watch this movie. It starts a bit slow with the story of this man which is a loner that owns a pawnshop. He doesn’t try to make friendship with anyone neither this little girl that always tries to make him laugh. She tries to make him her friend ’cause she doesn’t have nobody to depend on. She comes from a dysfunctional family. A prostitute mother that doesn’t give a crap about her own daughter. She’s always alone, with no friends at school and kids and adults alike call her by the nickname of “garbage”. This man starts trying to connect with the girl but at the same time doesn’t want to have an emotional connection with anybody. But everything changes when the girl gets kidnapped as the result of a big mistake her mother did. This is where the action starts and you discover who is this lonely and secretive man that tries to do everything to save his only friend back. Its a great drama/action/emotional movie which I recommend to anyone who loves movies. If you don’t want to read subtitles and listen to the Korean audio, it is possible to change the audio to English and enjoy the movie. This movie really made me want to make some time for foreign movies. I just loved it.

**Here its the trailer for the movie. Enjoy!

 

Adjusting through time

Image by TheDarkThing via Flickr

This past month has been very difficult for me. A lot of changes and adjustments. New job, new responsibilities, new friends, and worse of all, new sleeping pattern. For weeks, I have been working the shift of 4am till 12pm. A shift like that demands me to wake up at 2:30am to get ready. For this, I have to go to sleep like at 7pm which I never do. I love watching movies, tv series, listening to music and just tweeting the night away. I always try to go to sleep earlier but my tv and my computer takes hold of me. So with this, it’s obvious to determine that this shift is not made for me. Trying to go out to the movies or to just have fun cannot happen. I’m always tired and sleepy, I just felt depressed.

After a few weeks of the same shift, I really started to crack under pressure. Everything bothered me. I argued with anyone who spoke with me. It was horrible. I really felt like I was losing everything I loved. I couldn’t do the same things I loved to do. I felt like the day didn’t have enough hours for me to do the things I love to do. It wouldn’t be without the great talk I had with my boyfriend @Yun1t0 that I came to terms with this new experience.

It’s difficult, in my own sort of way it’s life changing but it’s part of growing up and being the responsible adult. I have to adjust to life’s progress ’cause not everything can be so easy.
