I know this post comes 8 days too late.. so what? lets get on with it, shall we?
I just read an article about what would you like (insert new calendar here) to bring you... i think i can sum up general stuff that i (and you too) want in this next 357 daily battles (keep in mind its Jan. 8th here).
1. We women should all have at least one occasion to dress up, it could be a graduation, a fancy party, a wedding.. your own wedding! as long as you can score a good champagne and cheese table and view of at least one dreamy guy you're set! (dressing up can also apply to gobe-trotting fabulous vacations ;) )
2. At least one occasion to dress down in your own house, i mean one of those occasions when you just don't care what you look like, like a night-in where all you have is an ice cream and a Bridget Jones movie in the background.. and what the hell, you can also let the girls loose for the night.. i just read that apparently 2014 marked 100 years creation of the bra.. don't you wish you could just let it all hang for a day? let's make that happen!
3. Linkedin, Google+, etc invitations, people.. i think the times when being popular was measured by how many "invitations" you had is over.. OVER!! i mean, we are all getting older and these things make me remember of the "hi5" times.. im not 15 anymore.. geez!
4. Out-of-country-costumer-service-call-center.. am i right? having to describe my credit card situation to "Ahmed from Bangladesh" is not pretty nor fun, more than that, it's actually frustrating to the very core, I understand people need jobs, and I myself understand as an immigrant, but.. you have to be able to communicate in english!!! its frustrating enough to have problems with my credit card right at the store, and its frustrating enough having to wait for "business hours" to talk to someone, and then... Jalandra from India can barely understand me and I can barely understand her! This is serious business!
5. Overplayed songs in the radio.. I don't care to hear the same stupid Katy Perry song 4 times over an hour.. I don't care how hot Katy Perry is! How about we start introducing some new songs into this thing? it would make life A LOT easier!
6. I personally think Facebook should kill their "year in review" tool.. nobody cares how awesome or crappy your year was!! am i wrong?? NOPE!
7. Baby-got-back-no-more!! I mean, are you serious? Do you seriously think gigantic butts such as Nicky Minaj's or Kim Kardashian's are pretty? I would like to know which hole the magazine's editor just crawled out from, There is no way in this world that those things are real, and honestly they are setting unrealistic things to follow. Most women already feel bad enough about their bodies to now add "lack-of-junk-in-my-trunk" to the list. Just NO!!
8. I personally believe that this whole "helping out" tendency.. whether is animals, people, occasions, charities is awesome.. you hear me? AWESOME!! teaches us to not be selfish, to think of others, keep it up people!!
9. I vote for more laugh-until-you-cry moments, those are the best, makes one feel so alive, so positive, so happy! I personally love them. Makes my day by eons!
10. Walks, yes.. walks! we all should go for more. Because it helps your health, even if you are by yourself, it is always good to see the world outside, smell the fresh air.. YEAHH!! look at people, think about your life, how can you make it better? Go out and smell the flowers!
11. Love, because love is the emotion that sets motion to them all. Love yourself above all, find someone to love and who loves you back.
Find happiness, find love! then hug it, and squeeze it, and pet it, and name it George!
Happy 2015.. Cheers to all those 357 mini-battles that are the day-to-day living.. live them to the max!!!
On happier brighter notes, I have been going out with this great guy, Trevor.. he is really sweet and he makes me laugh a lot. He has a daughter named Sydney, which i get along great with, nowadays Trevor and I have been living together for quite some time now. We have a shared custody of Syd and we get her over the weekends and holidays (talk about insta-mom thrown right into action).
I guess resuming things up, this year has had its ups and downs.. Trevor took me to Peru for 2 months (March-May) and he got to meet my family, we were lucky enough to have my mom go over from Madrid (at least i got to spend a few days with her before coming back home) im actually glad to say that my whole family likes him, from my dad to my mom and grandma lol, even my 3 y.o nephew has warmed up to the guy, calling him 'Uncle Trevor'. I am glad that this relationship seems to have started on right terms for everybody involved.. We have turned into a little family.. (queue song "Just the 2 of us" but substitute 2x3.. so "Just the 3 of us..").
