Hoy ha sido una noche muy triste. Tengo tantos recuerdos de mi mama que me hacen sufrir; como quisiera retroceder el tiempo. No encuentro paz, aun despues de 13 an~os. He escuchado personas hablar del infierno y purgatorio... mi infierno es vivir con este dolor tan grande que me consume.
I'm so sorry.

7,000 ctw
A mining company in South Africa is claiming to have mined the world's biggest diamond. At 7,000 carats, it would be twice the size of the Cullinan Diamond, except it's not confirmed to be a diamond yet. But if it turns out to be Bling.... wow.

SPP and The Amero.... What?
Have you heard about the Amero, do you know what it is? When did this happen, where was I that I didn't hear about it? It's scary to think that the Dollar might seize to be, and in replacement we might have a "unifying" currency for the three North American Countries.... or shall I go ahead and call them the North American Union.
What is going on? Now after all the years of fear and controlled immigration we are moving towards a borderless Union? What, now all of a sudden all those "illegals" who supposedly come to "steal" our jobs are going to be our partners and we'll all be one big happy family? Who the hell is pulling these strings? First, they brainwash the American public to hate immigrants, specifically any immigration related to the Mexican borders; now, they are going to brainwash you again to have this lovy-dovy openness with Mexico, including our borders and commerce. What is going on?
And a North American Union is being formed by the three presidents...... ummm, without our approval or that of congress? What, now Bush is going to decide that we are not US citizens anymore and this new "country", sorry, Union is the way to go? I should go ahead and call it by its proper name: The Security and Prosperity Partnership. Sounds really nice, doesn't it? Well, if you ask me George Bush has done nothing but compromise our Security and Prosperity from day 1.
But what do I know, I'm just a citizen.

iPhone is coming
That's right, iPhone will be available next Friday. And I can't have one, grrrrr.
I can't spend the money right now, but I sure wish I could. I just love gadgets and getting them early is such a high! I want to figure out a way to buy it.... maybe if I sell stuff on e-bay I can get some $$ for my iPhone. hmm.
Food for thought.

Rain, rain, go away
It's been raining for three days in San Juan. Bummer. I just hope that the rain will be over by Friday, since I'm taking Friday and Saturday off. I'm so excited to have two consecutive days off! I think we should go out and shop for some furniture and then hit the beach. I think we may go to the rainforest on Saturday with Heath... that will be fun (eventhough it will be my 5th or 6th trip up the mountain).
I have to remember to call Emile on Saturday to wish her a happy birthday. She's having a birthday party that night... ::sigh:: I wish I could go to NY and go out with her, she's so much fun. I also have to make time to call Louis; he called me last week and I still haven't called him back, yickes!

Post Family Visit
Wow, what a week...
Joseph came back from Hawaii (finally...), two days later my dad arrived, two days after that my brother and niece came in from Phoenix and three days later Josephs two kids flew down from NY. Needless to say, it was a busy, crowded couple of weeks. And I had a blast!!
It was great to have my dad visit again. And I got to spend lots of time with my niece... I just love her.
Now, everyone's been gone for a couple of weeks already (except for Joseph); the apartment's quiet again, and we're already thinking about a trip up to NY in June and bringing my family back to Christmas. That would be exciting!

Going thru shopping withdrawal
That's right, that is exactly how I'm feeling. Being from NYC, I don't consider Walmart as one of my "shopping" options (especially when looking for clothes). Ofcourse there are malls here, but I've never been a mall rat. I loved having my choice of boutiques and chain stores, both low and high end. But here, there aren't many choices. It's either Gap, Old Navy, etc, or teeny-bopper type stores where everything is cheaply made and way too small.
Not surprisingly though, is the fact that women here wear their clothes way too tight and rather sloppy. And to make things worse, since more than 65% of the population is overweight.... let's just say it's not a pretty sight. Even women who are well dressed, walk around with their pants so tight up their croth you wonder how can they be comfortable? And their tops are always tight, cut way too low at the neck line or too short at the waist.
I need to go shopping........ can I go to NY for the day and come home with bags full of clothes? Please....

Here I am again
Wow, I can't beleive it's been 3 months since I've posted. But I have good reason; work is crazy busy, many times stressful and the little time I have to call my own, I spend in front of the tv to escape the fact that I'm alone.
These past few months have been very tough. Joseph's in Hawaii working and although we talk several times a day and leave eachother messages, I miss him terribly and am starting to feel lonely. I know it's just as hard for him so as always I try to be very positive and comforting.
Today was a particularly bad day. I went crazy cleaning the entire apartment, and as is my routine, I played music super loud to keep me going. The only problem was that since I've been feeling homesick, listening to all that Colombian music just depressed me more. I practically spent the day with Lysol in one hand and Kleenex in the other.... hmmm, sounds funny now that I think about it.
Enough with the sadness; I do have good news. Emile and Matthew are coming to visit next week. Yey! Emile's arriving Wednesday night and leaving Monday afternoon, I am soooo looking forward to her visit. She's so energetic and funny, I know she'll have me feeling better in no time. And ofcourse I'll have someone to go out with, thank God!
Matthew is suppossed to call me sometime next week to let me know when he'll be arriving, which might be next weekend. I'm glad he's coming, he's a nice guy and he'll get me cought up with what's going on at home in Brooklyn. I don't know if he's coming alone (he might be bringing someone along). Imagine.... alone for the past couple of months and now in one week I may have 3 guests.
Ain't life a pisser.
