...at least with Photoshop...

When the sun goes down...

Days before Chirstmas....

Ok, so after a minor (to you, cause this looks pretty much the same)- mayor (for me, 'cause it took some time to make everything look as it used to again) update on this blog, now there is twitter.

I've been using twitter for a few hours, but it seems to be addicting, you just add small msgs, rants and thoughts and let them get lost into the web.

Anyway, since I dont know if I'll update before Christmas here is my Christmas post...a Christmas Pug! LoL...all credits on being a pug go to Callie :) (and just for those wondering, yes I did get her a Xmas present, and not just a photoshop one...)

So...Merry Christmas, may all your dreams come true!

Ok, después de una pequeña (para uds porque esto se ve basicamente igual) gran (para mi, porque si tomo un poco de tiempo hacer que todo se viera de nuevo igual) actualización en este blog, ahora hay twitter.

He estado usando twiter por unas cuantas horas, pero parece ser adictivo. Solo agregar pequeños msgs, debrayes y dejar que se pierdan en la web.

En fin, como no se si actualice antes de Navidad, aquí está mi post Navideño...Un pug Navideño! jeje, todos los creditos de ser un pug van para Callie :) (Y para todos los que se pregunten si le compre un regalo de Navidad, y no solo uno photoshopeado jejeje)

Así que, Feliz Navidad, que todos sus sueños se hagan realidad...!

Looking for directions in the night...


I smile at the moon
Chasing water from the sky
I argue with the clouds
Stealing beauty from my eyes

Shock! Piano Man! No hay más...

Qué puedo decir, hay momentos en que uno dice:

WOW!... GRACIAS UNIVERSO!!!
Momentos en que lo irreal, lo que se ve en las películas ,sucede!!! Como diria el buen Johnny Rzeznik: "When everything feels like the movies..." jeje, pero esa es otra canción.
Me puedo poner a debrayar pensando desde que fue milagro guadalupano, hasta que la sincronicidad de este universo. Sigo en shock! Me inclino más por la sincronicidad, pero las acciones del universo no las juzgo jejeje. Es increible cuando pensamos en toda la serie de eventos en que se tuvieron que dar para que en un minuto todo lo del momento peliculezco se hiciera realidad.
Eso de que "no hay mal que por bien no venga", caray! hay que hacerle caso...jajaja. Ahora agradezco que:
  • los taxistas estuvieran festejando a la virgen (mmm, quiza esa sea la parte del milagro guadalupano jajaja)
  • ...y por eso decidieramos pedir un taxi de sitio (que iba a llegar muuuuy rápido en 20 minutos, o quiza 15!)
  • ...y por lo anterior mandara al diablo al taxi de sitio y parara el primero que se viera decente
  • Dicho taxista fuera con calma como domingo en Chapultepec, mientras iba cantando sus cumbias, y habia un zancudo amenazador en el techo!
  • Las laaaargas caminatas de judio errante para llegar al Foro Sol
  • Las mini pizzas que ahi venden
  • ...y que me dieran una de peperoni diciendo que era Hawaianna
  • Haber tenido boleto con entrada hasta el fondo! (Acceso 6)
Tooooodo eso tuvo que pasar, junto con un poco de magia (quizá entonces Lennon no estaba tan equivocado: " Dream, dream away...Magic in the air, was magic in the air?...I believe, yes I believe...More I cannot say, what more can I say?"...puedo decir WOW jeje) para que mi histeria de que fueran 8:45 (cuando el boleto decia que el concierto comenzaba a las 8:30) se viera transformada en shock!
¿En que momento me hubiera imaginado yo que un completo extraño, en shorts, hablando ingles me dijera que me iba a regalar boletos para la 2da fila?

Segun las noticias habia 32,500 personas....lo cual quiere decir que asi hubiera tenido 10 boletos la probablidad de ser uno de lo elegidos para recibir uno de esos era escaza...sin embargo (cual anuncio de porque se debe hablar inglés de [inserte el nombre de la compañía de clases de ingles de su elección]) se dio una conversación mas o menos asi:

Extraño de shorts: Do you speak english?
Yo: Yes...why?
Extraño de shorts: oh great! Im about to upgrade your ticket to 2nd row, what do you say?
Yo: ... *gasp!* how do I know this is for real? ( que puedo decir... no desconfiarían de alguien que ofrece algo así?! )
Extraño de shorts: its real, beleive me, take the tickets, they are free!
Yo: *gasp*

Así que, a tomar la oportunidad! jejeje, como diría el buen Sr. Joel:
Dont look for answers
You took your chances
Dont ask me why

...Y vaya que tome la oportunidad!!...WOW!

Todavía continuó el shock cuando nos van diciendo que los boletos eran justo al centro de la 2da fila...increible..!! y al llegar al lugar, como magia, todo se obscurece y espectaculo comienza...

El concierto, WOW! Hace como 3 años sino es que mas...vi por ahi de las 3 am un especial donde contaba las historias de las canciones, y quedé fascinada...pues hoy se cumplieron todas las expectativas y más..!

Estar tan cerca que ves cuando le hace gestos a los músicos, y por otro lado apreciar la manera en que este señor toca el piano...WOW (jaja si mi vocabulario es muy amplio jajaja, pero sigo en shock!)




Hoy es uno de esos días en que uno dice...GRACIAS!, y piensa algo debo estar haciendo bien para que pasen estas cosas!! jeje...o en su defecto, hay que seguir por este camino, caray!

Realmente pienso... qué año!!...pero ya a 13 de diciembre...yo digo que esto no se acaba hasta que se acaba...! (Y por "esto" quiero decir el año 2007 jajaja, no estoy tan fatalista)

Así que universo...gracias! y...seguramente lo mejor, aún está por venir!

Under the stars...music touching my soul...



So long ago

Was it in a dream, was it just a dream?
I know, yes I know
Seemed so very real, it seemed so real to me

Took a walk down the street
Thru the heat whispered trees
I thought I could hear (hear, hear, hear)
Somebody call out my name as it started to rain

Two spirits dancing so strange

Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?

Dream, dream away
Magic in the air, was magic in the air?
I believe, yes I believe
More I cannot say, what more can I say?

On a river of sound
Thru the mirror go round, round
I thought I could feel (feel, feel, feel)
Music touching my soul, something warm, sudden cold
The spirit dance was unfolding

Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?

Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?

(John Lennon, 9# Dream)

Into the night...

Me gusto como salió esto... ironicamente comenzó cuando estaba tratando de pensar en algo para "exceso" el tema de la semana de Illustration Friday, pero salió asi.
Aunque hay algunas nubes, se siente la calma, se siente bien. No así es la vida?


I liked the way this turned out...ironically it started when I was trying to think of something for "excess" (this weeks IF theme) but it came out like this.

Even though there are a few clouds it still feels calm, it feels ok. Aint life a little like that?

Songs iTunes felt were appropiate while doing this:

  • Gavin DeGraw-- Beleif
  • The Doors- Hello, I love you
  • Depeche Mode-- Precious
  • The Fray-- Over my head
  • U2--Some days are better than others
  • Delays--Shadows on our School
  • Mademoiselle K--Crave
  • Sandi Thom-- I wish a was a punk rocker
  • Snow Patrol-- Gleaming auction
  • The Calling-- One
  • Maroon 5-- Nothing Lasts forever
  • The Fray -- She is
  • Edwin McCain-- I'll Be
  • The Wallflowers---From the bottom of my heart
  • Vanessa Carlton-- Ordinary Day
  • Maroon 5 -- She will be loved
  • Inara George-- Fools in love
  • Greg Laswell-- High and Low
  • Michelle Featherson-- Coffee and Cigarettes

Mmm...almost 20 songs, as you can see it didn't took that long. hehe :)

Nothing's gonna change my world

Words are flying out like
endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
are drifting thorough my open mind
Possessing and caressing me

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Images of broken light which
dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a
restless wind inside a letter box
they tumble blindly as
they make their way across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Sounds of laughter shades of life
are ringing through my open ears
exciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which
shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Jai guru deva

Just another lemon tree?

I'm sitting here in the boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time
I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast
I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree

I'm sitting here
I miss the power
I'd like to go out taking a shower
But there's a heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so tired
Put myself into bed
Well, nothing ever happens and I wonder

Isolation is not good for me
Isolation I don't want to sit on the lemon-tree

I'm steppin' around in the desert of joy
Baby anyhow I'll get another toy
And everything will happen and you wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
And I wonder, wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see, and all that I can see, and all that I can see
Is just a yellow lemon-tree

Have you ever thought about what protects our hearts?

Inspired by: Ingrid Michaelson's Breakable
More music inspired designs on Jen's Design Corner

Have you ever thought about what protects our hearts?
Just a cage of rib bones and other various parts.
So it's fairly simple to cut right through the mess,
And to stop the muscle that makes us confess.

And we are so fragile,
And our cracking bones make noise,
And we are just,
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys.

You fasten my seatbelt because it is the law.
In your two ton death trap I finally saw.
A piece of love in your face that bathed me in regret.
Then you drove me to places I'll never forget.

And we are so fragile,
And our cracking bones make noise,
And we are just,
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys.

And we are so fragile,
And our cracking bones make noise,
And we are just,
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls-
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls-
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys.

(Note: Thanks to all the recent buyers!! it is greatly appreciated :D keep coming!)

"Bitter"

In my heartsent my confession my condolence,
You're indefinite you're incompetent inconsiderate.
You're so childish,
I will push you out of what is real out of my head.
You can stick and drown at your residence of dissapointments,
Are of yours to come.
So embrace them oh my shallow one today,
If I could change anything then I would change everything.
These bitter days shall remain.
I don't ask for your forgiveness I don't care much for your actress.
That's just you though shallow and selfish.
So I go now oh my hollow one today.
If I could change anything then I would change everything.
These bitter days shall remain.
You carry your blues behind your eyes,
Don't flatter yourself I will survive.
So carry your blues your own denial.
Your feathers are gone you'll never fly.
If I could change anything,
Then I would wipe the years away.
If I could change anything,
Then I would wipe the years away.
If I could change anything,
Then I would change everything.
These bitter days shall remain.
Since you're gone I'm much better than you.
You carry your blues behind your eyes,
Don't flatter yourself I will survive.
So carry your blues your own denial.
Your feathers are gone you'll never fly.
She'll never fly.

A Relient K moment...

I've been listening to this song: Who I am hates who I've been. Its very interesting how the acoustic version makes the song so much meaninful rather than the usual "punk" version. This is what came to my mind...


I watched the proverbial sunrise
Coming up over the Pacific and
You might think I'm losing my mind,
But I will shy away from the specifics...

'cause I don't want you to know where I am
'cause then you'll see my heart
In the saddest state it's ever been.

This is no place to try and live my life.

[Pre-Chorus]
Stop right there. That's exactly where I lost it.
See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.
Stop right there. Well I never should have said
That it's the very moment that
I wish that I could take back.

[Chorus]
I'm sorry for the person I became.
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change.
I'm ready to be sure I never become that way again
'cause who I am hates who I've been.
Who I am hates who I've been.

I talk to absolutely no one.
Couldn't keep to myself enough.
And the things bottled inside have finally begun
To create so much pressure that I'll soon blow up.

I heard the reverberating footsteps
Synching up to the beating of my heart,
And I was positive that unless I got myself together,
I would watch me fall apart.

And I can't let that happen again
'cause then you'll see my heart
In the saddest state it's ever been.

This is no place to try and live my life.

[Pre-Chorus x2]
[Chorus]

Who I am hates who I've been
And who I am will take the second chance you gave me.
Who I am hates who I've been
'cause who I've been only ever made me...

So sorry for the person I became.
So sorry that it took so long for me to change.
I'm ready to be sure I never become that way again
'cause who I am hates who I've been.
Who I am hates who I've been.

Do you dream or do you sleep?


If you leave where will you go
Before the regret you hold in your heart will start to show...?
If you leave how will you know
If our ever after ever had a chance to grow?
Do you dream or do you sleep?
Do you pick and choose amongst the jewels for one to keep?
Do you will upon a star?
Or does everything just out of reach seem just too far away?
nothing seems to change
Let alone you won't forget my name
Just don't lose what you know
Just don't lose what you know
When you're so far away...
...so deep you say
and no matter where you go it all ends up the same...
Do you wish upon a star?
Or does everything just out of reach seem just too far away?
What you lose is what you know
Where you go is where you grow
How near we've come is yet to show
We've come so close yet so far away...
what did I do to you
so far away...what did I do to you?

Nine days-- So far away
The Madding Crowd

Step 1: We need to talk


More than 9 months after the original post
The Fray - How to Save a Life--Revisted

The original post depicted someone sad wondering where she had gone wrong, this one on the contrary shows what I've imagined would've been previous to all that. Kind of like a prequel.
The moment before "the talk" of the song.

And why has it been revisited? well, Grey's Anatomy Soundtrack Volume 2 starts with this song, hehe, after listening to the whole thing for a couple of times, this came up to mind.

And just for the sake of understanding here are the song lyrics:

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

(how to save a life, The fray)

someone come and take me away
no need to stay
when life itself is making you old
just take my soul

spring came
rain fell
we ended up nowhere
then june came
sun shone
are we still nowhere?

if you want me now
you don't have to try so hard
if you want me now
you don't have to try at all

Snow Patrol...WOW

El concierto, que cosa...valió la pena la espera...(Por si nos sabían...lo postpusieron desde el 14 de Marzo hasta hoy por cuestiones de logistica!!!)

No abrió ningun grupo (yey!) y el concierto comenzó pasadas las 9 de la noche...al principio no parecía que la gente se fuera a prender mucho, pero después de las primeras canciones esto agarró muy buen ritmo...

Entre los comentarios de Gary hacia el público fue que estaban sorprendidos de la respuesta, ya que siempre habían escuchado de que el publico mexicano tenía muy buen ambiente, y que pese a que se iban a ausentar un poco durante el tiempo en que graben el próximo disco, aseguraron que iban a regresar.

También comentó que se sentían un poco agobiados ya que nunca habían estado a esta altitud mas que en aviones. Y durante la canción de Hands Open en lugar de "Chicago bursts to life", le cambio por "Mexico city" lo cual obviamente generó grandes ovaciones.

Y por supuesto se disculpó por toda la espera (vaya que fue larga!!)

El set list fueron 18 canciónes...las que tienen "*" son las que abajo pueden ver el video =) (disculpen el pulso en algunas, pero digo habia que disfrutar el concierto!!!)

Hands Open
Chocolate*
Beginning to Get to Me*
Headlights
Signal Fire*
Grazed Knees*
How to be Dead*
Ways and Means*
Spitting Games
Make this go on Forever*
Chasing Cars*
Shut Your Eyes
Set The Fire*
Run*
Tiny Little Fractures

Finish Line*
Open Your Eyes
You're All I Have

Yo solo digo: Valió la pena la espera!!!!

Y como una imagen dice mas que las palabras como bien lo dice mi blog...aquí están los videos de la noche...
























No olviden visitar Jen's Design Corner...hay 2 diseños inspirados en las canciones de "Chasing Cars" y "Finish Line" Snow Patrol!!

Geeky guys and girls are often portrayed as skinny, ugly, quite smart or at least computer savvy. Yet you can be quite smart, and /or computer savvy, without the whole "ugly look" nerdish/geeky look...

Uh! and also, big update!! I just opened an online store :D visit it here


Cualquier con la descripción de Geek, por lo gral es una persona a la que ponen muy flaquita, fea, aunque inteligente o que le sabe mover a las computadoras. Sin embargo, puedes ser bastante inteligente, y/o saber de computación sin ese "look" feo o de nerd o de "geek"...

Illustration Friday- Wired

Wired at the rain...just can´t seem to be without the wires of the ipod headphones

"Enredada" en la lluvia, simplemente no puedo estar sin los cables de los audifonos del ipod

Melody of you...

you're a painting with symbols deep, symphony
soft as it shifts from dark beneath
a poem that flows, caressing my skin
in all of these things you reside and I
want you flow from the pen, bow and brush
with paper and string, and canvas tight
with ink in the air, to dust your light?
from morning to the black of night

[Chorus]
this is my call I belong to You
this is my call to sing the melodies of You
this is my call I can do nothing else
I can do nothing else

you're the scent of an unfound bloom
a simple tune
I only write variations to sooth the mood
a drink that will knock me down to the floor
a key that will unlock the door
where I hear a voice sing familiar themes
then beckons me weave notes in between
a tap and a string, a bow and a glass
you pour me till the day has passed....

Melody of you- Sixpence none the ritcher

Illustration Friday- Hide

Sometimes neighboors make you want to hide somewhere else!

Algunas veces los vecinos hacen que queramos escondernos en algun lado!

...on the radio


On the radio...

This is how it works
It feels a little worse
Than when we drove our hearse
Right through that screaming crowd
While laughing up a storm
Until we were just bone
Until it got so warm
That none of us could sleep
And all the styrofoam
Began to melt away
We tried to find some words
To aid in the decay
But none of them were home
Inside their catacomb
A million ancient bees
Began to sting our knees
While we were on our knees
Praying that disease
Would leave the ones we love
And never come again

On the radio
We heard November Rain
That solo's really long
But it's a pretty song
We listened to it twice
'Cause the DJ was asleep

This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath

No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again

And on the radio
You hear November Rain
That solo's awful long
But it's a good refrain
You listen to it twice
'Cause the DJ is asleep
On the radio
(oh oh oh)
On the radio
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio
