Hola...

I love taking a walk and take pictures

Going to the lake... It's really cool to see the ice on the water

I was surprise to see the little ducklings on the frigid water

This pathway makes me have deeply reflections...

I was kind of surprise of how much I like to be by myself and just think about all the things I'm going through... you know something... I love my family, partner and friends... I feel very lucky to have them all in my life... (sniff) What is it with me today??? I am very sentimental!! LOL Oh G!

What a day...

I knew it was going to be a big responsibility to have pets… but... I am really taking a big physical hit in my life… what I mean by that is that having pets is truly like having babies, you have to feed them, spend time with them educating (training) them, and if they get sick or something, take them to the vet etc. My poor bonnie was having a horrible day last night I can just imagine what it would be like for her to be in pain without being able to say anything. I had surgery once (long time ago) and it feels super bad. Well after I brought her home last night from the clinic, you should’ve seen her eyes all sad and swollen I felt bad for her.

11:00 pm I went to bed very tired of what my day was… after waking up at 5:30 am I mean I’m not use to ok hehehe

11:45 pm Bonnie wakes me up making noises, and kind of complaining like moaning painfully. I try to comfort her and try to make her relax…

12:20 am She starts walking around the room like scared of something, and she scares me I don’t know what’s wrong with her… Then I try to go back to sleep…

01:00 am She takes her collar off and starts licking her wound, and that’s totally bad, I was told by the vet not to EVER let that happen, I go and put it back again…

02:00 am She starts walking around the room and gets out to do her business… I’m up again just watching her that she doesn’t do something bad…

03:00 am… I am just beat down by everything that is going on and Bonnie is up again… now she wants to go up the bed with me… after putting her on my bed… we both go to sleep… it was around 03:30 am by then… do you see me point… Having pets is a BIG humongous responsibility… you really need to love animals to take all of these issues that come with them…

12 noon today… I am really tired and sleepy LOL… the moving to another office excitement is not kicking anymore… ha ha ha… oh man… peace to everyone…

My poor baby didn't even wanted to move at first

This is her wound... looks painful right?

The day has come...

Today I woke up at 5:45 am, I was a little anxious to know that Bonnie was going to have her surgery today. As I got ready to head out of the house, I realized how ugly was outside still, I guess Mother Nature doesn’t want to give us a break with all this snow.

I got Bonnie out trying to make her poop before leaving to the clinic, and then I had to go warm my car up. 6:30 am— I took Bonnie to the car and there we were on our way… I must say that by that time instead of getting better weather wise, it got even worse, the wind started blowing very strong and it also was colder. I’ll have some pictures later today… Well I stayed over one hour at the clinic. I was very happy for the fact that the vet took the time to explain to me everything that was going to happen with bonnie, including after surgery care. I’ll have some pictures later today… Talking about pictures… I know it can be very annoying sometimes having to deal with some emotional being like me LOL! But I just express (sometimes to much) my feelings out in the open. I don’t think that’s bad, is it?

Well I finally got my CAMERA!!! YEAH BABY!!! Hah Hah Hah… I got it and I love it so much!! Oh guys really, no one has an idea of how exited I was when I received it. So now you are going to be seeing even more of my pictures.

Another development… I started moving to the new office today… that’s a big excitement right there hehehe… I’m happy… and sleepy… hehehe peace people XOXOX

SICK SICK SICK

Hola Gente!

It’s been a long time since I got this kind of excitement… First let me go with the bad news…

I have been very sick since last Friday with the flu (at least that’s what I think it was) oh, scratch that! I know for sure it was… according to revolutionhealth.com

“The flu is a total-body illness that's also caused by a virus. It makes a person feel completely wiped out and sick all over — in every muscle and in the head. A fever is also common with the flu. A flu infection usually puts a person in bed — rendering them too sick to function — within a day or two. Most cases of the flu last for 10 to 14 days, though it's common to have a cough that lingers longer”

Hmmm let’s see, pain on every muscle and in the head? Definitely YEAH! Fever? Uh uh (nodding head), and also cough, stuffed nose, chills, and unable to leave bed for two whole days! It sucks really bad… I know you get the point. Hopefully I’ll get better soon, I really need to.

And now with the GOOD…

After a long time of wanting to buy a better camera to do better at one of my favorite hobbies (photography)… I decided to buy the Nikon D80. it took me a lot of reading, asking around (thanks Rafael, Richard, and David) to finally decide to do it. I mean for some it’s not a big deal but I like to think things like this through before making any kind of big investment… but now I’m sure more than ever that it was a good decision. I AM SO Excited! You can read all about the cam if you click here ... So that's all for today and I'll be in touch later people!

A roommate anyone?

It is official now I need a NEW roommate ASAP… It sucks big time when you have to go through these types of situations… I wish my job would pay me better to be able to live on my own… Living with someone it’s always difficult, and even more when there is no chemistry, I mean sure, it is only roommates not like we have to be compatible on everything, but even so there should be some kind of similarity on some thing (I think)… anyway, cold has not gone anywhere and just today we reached ridiculous wind chills of 20 to 30 below (hey who wants to go out??) Hehehe… Two weeks ago I was sick with the flu and I don’t know why I’m still felling a little funny, I say it is the weather but who knows… maybe I’m just sick still…

On other events…

#1 --Gego lost his first baby tooth, it’s funny to me how having puppies is like having babies, you go through everything a parent goes… at least that’s how I feel, even though I don’t have babies, once (long time ago) I helped raise my niece that now lives in Mexico… anyway dogs RULE!


#2 --Man I’m so frustrated right now, I was working on my computer to make it run faster, and so I had to reformat my hard drive to give it more space… but now I have not been able to install all of the software I used to have there… doesn’t that sucks??

Ok people, thanks for all the kind word I receive for my website, I am glad you people like it and read it hehehe that’s cool! Hugs and kisses to everybody… and a special shout out to my friend Totoro! Love ya J!

Peace… and OUT!!

Some weird months uh?




We have been having a really crappy weather here in Chicago for the last couple of… months? There have been Snow storms, Ice storms, Wind storms, rains, temperatures below cero (to -30 degrees F), and really foggy days. I guess this is another winter…

As these climate changes are happening, changes on my life happen too. December came and I was let go from my second job due to loss of business. I was a week off from my first job for Christmas break. During that time I planned a b-day party for Victor, something I was really looking forward to because I knew that it was going to be better than previous years, we gained new friends, and lost others overall the party was good. The day before that though was a total nightmare. I decided that it was a good time to make some decorating on my house and also to finally put the floor on my bathroom. I know, it was really REALLY bad timing since the next day was going to be Vic’s b-day party. What happened is that I thought was going to be super fast to do it since my step dad offered to help and he said that it was going to take a few hours to get it done. Of course it wasn’t like that, so I ended up not sleeping for TWO days it was bad. (Not to mention hurtful arguments I had to undergo with “somebody”)

Well moving along, things with my roommate started pretty good I’ll say, thought besides gaining a roommate I was also having a new friend. Things can be very deceiving sometimes, we are people and people is very different from each other, but as humans do, we tend to stick together with the ones similar to us (sometimes) but I mean with similar interests, believes, likes, etc… for example, what I mean is that in my case working for a community center were the purpose is to help the Latino community, recent immigrants that got to this country and need to know how this society work. Help them to learn the language, the culture, and make the transition a little easier. To live with a person that goes against all of that… is kind of hard… not impossible but hard… and even more, when we have the same background (Mexican) I once was a recent immigrant, needed help, felt lost, and when I found someone that offered help without asking absolutely nothing in return, I mean wow! I mean is just that as humans we should be able to help one another… not try to put obstacles on each other. The last thing I thought I would hear from someone I know is “Mexicans should learn how to stay back on their country”

Oh well…

My pups are growing a lot… they are 4 months now and I love them a lot, I have a lot of fun with them even though I have had some small incidents hehehe once, Gego bit me on the eye, but I was playing with him… just last weekend, Ita (literally) ripped my pinky finger hehehe it hurt like crazy! I was playing with a ball with both of them, moving my hand up and down to make the jump… well in one of those jumps my beautiful Ita grabbed my little finger and hanged from it for a second (literately!!) I carried her on my finger and when she let my finger go I felt like when you get your clothes stuck in some thorns and they ripped? Yeah, I felt like that… lots of bleeding, and even a small white tendon-looking-like-thing came out (Aaahhh!! Gross??) I know! LOL it really hurt… oh be a man you can take IT!!

I’m happy! Just last Friday my friend Andrea got hired again to start working with me and I just love working with her… she is very funny and fun! Hehehe

Well my people, I hope all of you are having a good healthy time now, and just know that if you are reading this, you are an important part of my life and I love you… you know you count on me… =0) PEACE!!

P.S. I'm going to need a roommate soon... please let me know if someone is interested! Thanks!!!
