Illustration Friday-- Electricity
What happens when there is no electricity after a terrible day....
Rain by the window...
John Lennon's isolation playing over and over...
I don't expect you
to understand
after you've caused
so much pain
but then again
you are not to blame
you are just a human
victim of the insane....
And candle in the night, keeping a flame burning for all those hopes and dreams that tried to vanish hours before...to understand
after you've caused
so much pain
but then again
you are not to blame
you are just a human
victim of the insane....
*********************************************
Que pasa cuando no hay electricidad después de un terrible día?
Lluvia en la ventana...
Isolation de John Lennon sonando una y otra vez...
I don't expect you
to understand
after you've caused
so much pain
but then again
you are not to blame
you are just a human
victim of the insane....
Y una vela en la noche, dejando una flama encendida por todas esas esperanzas y sueños que trataron de desvanecerse unas hrs antes...
to understand
after you've caused
so much pain
but then again
you are not to blame
you are just a human
victim of the insane....

Make up your own story
Here is the deal.. I have no idea what this is, I just drew whaever came to my mind...so why don't YOU add a story to this...
Let the ranting begin!
*************
Así está la cosa... no tengo idea de que sea esto, solo dibuje lo primero que me vino a la mente...así que porque no TU haces la historia para esto.
Que comiencen los debrayes!
Dreamcatcher
First of all, how pathetic is it that when you google "dreamcatcher" the first thing that comes up its from paris hilton's hair products??...*sigh*
Anyway...Dreams have always been something mysterious. You can have dreams you are almost certain were true, dreams that make you wake up craving for something, dreams that make you want to go back to sleep just to see if you can go back to that mysterious piece of imagination. They can mean so much, an escape from the real world, a search for answers, or a reminder of something you'd conciously wouldnt want to face. (and beleive me, I've been there. Having the same dream over and over until you say "ok, ok I'll face it!")
But not all dreams are pleasant...enter, dreamcatchers. As said in Dream-catchers.org:
Native Americans believe that the night air is filled with dreams both good and bad. The dream catcher when hung over or near your bed swinging freely in the air, catches the dreams as they flow by. The good dreams know how to pass through the dream catcher, slipping through the outer holes and slide down the soft feathers so gently that many times the sleeper does not know that he/she is dreaming. The bad dreams not knowing the way get tangled in the dream catcher and perish with the first light of the new day.So now...having the night free of bad dreams, I shall try to sleep.
May all of you have sweet dreams :)
After all its just about Karma! ...and some quotes hehe
First day of the year (I know the post will say its Jan 2, but hey until I go to sleep I wont say the day has changed ...hehe), so why not start with something deep and meaningful? (After listening over and over this song wouldnt you? Its stuck on my head, what can I say... "I know that I should let go, but I can't!", hehe)
So after a while browsing quotes online, and a other events I decided some things are not wars to be fought, nor battles ahead, its just plain Karma.
Karma, easily defined by: What you get is what you give...
Silly enough, when I think of karma there are two songs that always come to my mind...first Savage Garden's Affirmation, that said: "I beleive in Karma, what you give is what you get returned". ( lol, I was in middle school when I used to have this song stuck in my head instead of Kate Nash's Foundations hehe)
The second song that comes to my mind is John Lennon's Instant Karma. I just love that song, what it says and how it says it.
So in honor of this karma quote searching I'll leave some of the quotes I liked best and last but not least the "True Life Karma Test!" (There can be some procastination time while being "meaningful", right? hehe)
"Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny."
- Unknown
"Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace."
- Buddha
"Our life is what our thoughts make it."
- Marcus Aurelius
"Realize that everything connects to everything else."
- Leonardo DaVinci
"Do not let a small dispute injure a great relationship."
- Dalai Lama
Before you begin on the journey of revenge, dig two graves. ~Proverb
"Remember that silence can sometimes be the best answer."
- Dalai Lama
"Follow the 3 RES.
RESpect for others.
RESpect for yourself.
RESponsibility for all your actions."
- Dalai Lama
"Delusion arises from anger. The mind is bewildered by delusion.
Reasoning is destroyed when the mind is bewildered. One falls down
when reasoning is destroyed."
- Bhagavad Gita
...after all, instant karma is gonna getcha!...Claudia, Your Karmic Alignment is: Zen Intuition!
Score: 21 You have a direct perception of truth. You are very keen and don't use it to take advantage. When you commit positive deeds, you don't do them to get ahead, you do positive deeds simply because it makes you feel good. Your intentions are almost always meant well and all this positive karmaic energy is bound to come back to you in a great way!
2007
Se acabo el 2007...que puedo decir tuvo de todo, cosas buenas, malas, sorpresas, diversiones...
Despues de hacer un resumen de que fue el 2007 (y de andar de ociosa por la web viendo tendencias tipo twitter jijiji) salio el siguiente "poster".
No me queda mas que decirles a todos: FELIZ AÑO NUEVO!!... lo mejor, aún está por venir :)
2007 its over...what can I say, it had everything, good things, bad things, surprises, fun times...
After making a summary of what was 2007 (and a little computer procrastination, browsing around looking at the new tendencies like twitter LoL) I came up with the following "poster"
I've got nothing else to say to everyone, but...HAPPY NEW YEAR!...the best is yet to come :)!
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
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:
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: 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.
- 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)
¿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!You took your chances
Dont ask me why
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?

- The Doors- Hello, I love you
- Depeche Mode-- Precious
- The Fray-- Over my head

Nothing's gonna change my world
Words are flying out likeendless 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
Jai guru deva
