BY EARTH STANDARDS, MEMORIAL DAY
BY US SLAVES OF PLANET ARV, MEDIODIA A MEDIO PRECIO
TRANSLATION: Yup, had to work 9-2 today. New system, testing required, slaves to work...
It's been a loooooooong weekend.
Friday. Groundel got his confirmation, and Lucinda was the godmother. The whole thing took place at the restore cathedral of Candelaria at my hometown... I see where all expenses went... They repaired what they shouldn't have and added things that look plainly bad becuse now there is a bad combination of different time periods and different styles... Anyway, the Confirmation took place, and Groundel was happy about it. :)
On Saturday went on a QUEST for armor... Yes, armor as in chivalric meaning... Went to this place in Aguada that is completely decorated as a medieval castle... They have an armor, shields, swords, castle... Ok, so I cannot take with me the place, but I do need the 2 armors for my wedding's decoration... The boss will come from vacation on the 15th, so until them I hope I can send good vibes to the guy so he allows me to loan/rent them! The two armors are GORGEOUS!
After that, went to the scrapbooking place in my hometown... Big mistake. I had to arrive home and start scrapbooking... The hobby is ensnaring me, I spent from 4pm to 11pm doing scrapbooking for Groundels childhood pics.
Sunday... got up to try putting my place in order, then went to Auntie's place where I hibernated for a long while. She made chayote relleno. This is the first time I eat it... It's damn good! Had a second helping... And then did some bidding for gothic fun.
Today, got up at 7am, went to work, then attacked the scrapbooking place again. Went home and made a general friends page and started organizing a page for Groundel's cousin & sis, and for my brothers and sisters...
And then went to Auntie's again for a dosis of cyberspace... I guess I do need to feel I belong somewhere... like here... Duh!

Use wisely what you have and you will be given more
It's easy to be jealous of other's abilities. How do I deal with that?
"The strength of a horse does not impress him; how puny in his sight is the strength of a man."
You may long for the speed of a horse, but you would not want to become a horse. Very often the abilities we want are found in a person we would not want to be like.
Psalm 147:10

En ocasiones no sabemos que esta acurriendo a nuestro alrededor,
pero tarde o temprano nos lo dejan saber. Y el camino aparece ante nosotros como un perfecto PLAN.
LOS TRES ARBOLES
Había una vez tres árboles en una colina de un bosque.
Hablaban acerca de sus sueños y esperanzas.
El primero dijo: "Algún día seré un cofre de tesoros. Estaré
lleno de oro, plata y piedras preciosas. Estaré decorado con
labrados artísticos y tallados finos. Todos verán mi belleza."
El segundo árbol dijo: "Algún día seré una poderosa
embarcación. Llevaré los más grandes reyes y reinas a través de los
océanos, e iré a todos los rincones del mundo. Todos se sentirán
seguros por mi fortaleza, fuerza y mi poderoso casco."
Finalmente el tercer árbol dijo: "Yo quiero crecer para ser el
más recto y grande de todos los árboles en el bosque. La gente me
verá en la cima de la colina, mirará mis poderosas ramas y pensarán
en el Dios de los cielos, y cuán cerca estoy de alcanzarlo. Seré el
más grande árbol de todos los tiempos y la gente siempre me
recordará.
Después de unos años de orar para que sus sueños se
convirtieran en realidad, un grupo de leñadores vino donde estaban
los árboles. Cuando vio al primer árbol dijo: Este parece un árbol
fuerte. Creo que podría vender su madera a un carpintero.," y
comenzó a cortarlo. El árbol estaba muy feliz debido a que sabía
que el carpintero podría convertirlo en un cofre para tesoros.
El otro leñador dijo mientras observaba el segundo árbol:
Parece un árbol fuerte, creo que lo podré vender al carpintero del
puerto." El segundo árbol se puso muy feliz porque sabia que estaba
en camino a convertirse en una poderosa embarcación.
El último leñador se acercó al tercer árbol, el cual estaba
asustado, pues sabía que si lo cortaban, su sueño nunca se volvería
realidad. El leñador dijo entonces: No necesito nada especial del
árbol que corté, así que tomaré este" y cortó al tercer árbol.
Cuando el primer árbol llegó donde el carpintero, fue
convertido en un cajón de comida para animales y fue puesto en un
pesebre y llenado con paja. Se sintió muy mal pues eso no era por
lo que tanto había orado.
El segundo árbol fue cortado y convertido en una pequeña balsa
de pesca, ni siquiera lo suficientemente grande para navegar en el
mar, y fue puesto en un lago. Y vio como sus sueños de ser una gran
embarcación cargando reyes había llegado a su final.
El tercer árbol fue cortado en largas y pesadas tablas y
dejado en la oscuridad en una bodega.
Años más tarde, los árboles olvidaron sus sueños y esperanzas
por las que tanto habían orado. Entonces un día un hombre y una
mujer llegaron al pesebre. Ella dio a luz un niño y lo colocó en la
paja que había dentro del cajón en que fue transformado el primer
árbol. El hombre deseaba haber podido tener una cuna para su bebé,
pero este
cajón debería serlo.
Había contenido el más grande tesoro de la historia.
Más tarde, un grupo de hombres entraron en la balsa en la cual
habían convertido al segundo árbol. Uno de ellos estaba cansado y
se durmió en la barca. Mientras ellos estaban en el agua una gran
tormenta se desató y el árbol pensó que no sería lo suficientemente
fuerte para salvar a los hombres. Los hombres despertaron al que
dormía, quien se levantó y dijo: " ¡Calma! ¡Quédate quieto!", y la
tormenta y las olas se detuvieron. En ese momento el segundo árbol
se dio cuenta de que había llevado al Rey de Reyes y Señor de
Señores.
Finalmente, un tiempo después alguien vino y tomó al tercer árbol
convertido en tablas. Fue cargado por las calles al mismo tiempo que la
gente escupía, insultaba y golpeaba al Hombre que lo cargaba. Se
detuvieron en una pequeña colina y el Hombre fue clavado al árbol y
levantado para morir en la cima de la colina. Cuando llegó el
domingo, el tercer árbol se dio cuenta de que el fue lo suficiente
fuerte
para
permanecer erguido en la cima de la colina, y estar tan cerca de
Dios como nunca, porque JESUS había sido crucificado en él.
Cuando parece que las cosas no van de acuerdo a tus planes,
debes saber que siempre DIOS tiene un plan para ti. Si pones tu
confianza en EL, te dará grandes regalos a su tiempo.
Recuerda que cada árbol obtuvo lo que pidió, sólo que no en la
forma en que pensaba. No siempre sabemos lo que Dios planea para
nosotros, sólo sabemos que sus caminos no son nuestros caminos,
pero sus caminos SIEMPRE SON LOS MEJORES.
Si tienes un amigo solo envíale éste mensaje para que sepa que
DIOS TIENE UN PLAN PARA EL
"Hay un momento para cada cosa y un tiempo para todo bajo el sol"
Vive el presente, pero vívelo bien, de tal manera que el futuro sea una
esperanza y el pasado sea una gran lección
pero tarde o temprano nos lo dejan saber. Y el camino aparece ante nosotros como un perfecto PLAN.

Helloooo kiddies! Yesterday was a busy day! Post Office, then Shrek2, then HotTopic, then auntie... Mural due today, I guess during the afternoon? Right now I'm doing the laundry. :)
Got a bright pink Jem and the Holograms tshirt... Sooooooo 80's! Yay!
Shrek2 was AWESOME! From the opening to the Vida Loca, it was fun, fun, fun. Loved the fact Fiona and Shrek stayed the same. This world or any for that matter doesn't belong just to starving, skinny people. Yayyyyyy!!!!
Oh, the day is beautiful grey, almost like London skies, huh? Wishful thinking...
Not much besides routine and a bit of anxiety... need weekends of 8 days...

Black pregnant kitty is doing fine, still scared of humans BUT loves Ensure and dry food. :) Been hand feeding her, making sure she is without fleas... Bathed her with the anti-fleas lotion after she ate so there were no complaints. She is adorable! Ohhhhh, no, no, no, I am NOT falling in love with kitty... NO! She will just stay to recuperate and then to Lucinda's home... :( I can't have another baby until I have a house... Small apartment for all of us!
Working a lot, got the insane "pasos" which made no difference on my income... Have a reunion at SJ on Monday but I have no transportation and my arm-neck-head will not allow me such a looong drive... Damn, don't know what I will do...
Haven't done much about the wedding stuff, been raining like hell and I just don't feel the creative bug bitting me... I feel like laying, taking pills and just fading into uncontiousness... Been sad, a bit depressed... The financial hole is deeper each month... I expected a nice raise but I should have predicted the outcome... I hope that Sila's raise on June and the job title changes that will happen on August for everyone reflects a salary change at least... Being underpaid is definitively NOT funny... I must hold on until Nov, when I'll get rid of the car's expense... but the wedding is in Oct and I still have not been able to separate the catering and videologist... The fotographer is a cool guy, at least he is on... But without the help of family there's no way I will be able to gather the money for the reception... I didnt expect the "demotion"... It completely damaged the budget... Groundel will start working full time next month, but until then we have 2 financial entities with 3 months due, 2 visas and the car, and the rent... oh, and the phone! The phone matter... I'll try solving THAT in June. I need to be able to communicate with the few friends I've got... Grrrrr...
The timing of everything... But even if we can only do the church ceremony, we will get married... Aunque sea lo'ultimo que haga, LO ULTIMO QUE HAGAAAAAAAAAAAA!
I'm gathering up designs of my favorite things. To see if in Dec I can get inked... In black so it stands out in my skin. So far it must have:
-The thundercats symbol and japanese sy for honor, truth, valor and loyalty (The Code of Thundera)... Cualquier semejanza con el circulo Arturiano es pura coincidencia... ;P
-A dragon
-A kittie
-Tribal thorned vine
-Decepticon symbol
-A sword
-Hindu allusion, sy or deity
What do you think that could be a cool design for my lower back? Email me options, please! Open to suggestions! :) I would like a sleeve, but that would be like 10-15 years from now.
Took some pics of lady kitty...
Changed my super-ultra-itsy-bitsy-teeny-wheeny livingroom... New positions, may do a small mural to change ambience... Kitties loved it. :)
Watched Wrestlemania XX... Unexpected heavyweight champion, but damn, after so many years trying, he well deserved to win! I didn't knew the depht of Steve Austin's injuries... That's a WOW. And still he can KICK ASS! Ohhhhh, and I wanted so badly to smell what the Rock was cooking! :)) And although Eddie is not perfect, it was swell he won as well. Seeing little-people (sort off) winning kinda lifts the spirits... Triple H looks AWESOME!Oh... don't you worry, Mr. Olympia...Arnold... I'll always be yours... :D
Watched the Peter Pan, 2003 version... Loved the sites and the Fairies! The Fairy Godmother dancing was Magical!!! And the flying!!!! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! But everything else sucked... Faithful to the book, though... So I heard...
Boring life still kicking for few excitements... Whatever...

Weird days...
Saturday: FEMALE ROACH ATTACKS GODDESS
Yup... I was minding my own business in the bathroom, when a winged roach jumped on me... I have this AVERSION and TERROR when it comes to roaches... So imagine the outcome...
Sunday: CROWITO and Dia de MADRE
Oh...Crow woke me up because he was running in a frenzy. When I turned on the light I see something coming from his but while he ran faster than a speeding bullet... Not a worm, mind you... And yes it had shit. He had swallowed plastic raffia and it found its way out... Gross!!!
In the afternoon I wanted to go visit everyone, but when I turned on the car it would only hum like a speedgun... Nothing. We had to go walk down to the nearest mall to eat and put some minutes in my cel and call for help. Lucinda came to the rescue... The battery was dead. Long afternoon...
Monday: Doc says...
Had to ask for permission to see my vet... doc... because of my eye-pain. Turns out its because of my bad back, so she gave me some pills that puts you to sleep... relaxing you. I took Tuesday and Wednesday off so I could take them AND rest.
Tuesday: The kitty from San Juan
This cat... was in the motor of a van whose owner had just arrived from San Juan to Mayaguez. The guy was driving at 80mph, stopped at Walgreens to get food and when he started the van again heard something in the motor... So he went to the near Western Auto, where Lucinda's hubby works. He enlisted 4 more guys to go, push the car to the garage, put all the motor in pieces, and finally get kitty out. Black cat, with many slashes especially a big nasty one over an eye... we dont know how come the eyeball was untouched... An angel guarded him...
So... Lucinda calls me. I go get kitty. Since it was trembling and loosing blood, I took it to the local vet. From 3:30 to 8pm... The kitty made it. I will take care of it until it is fine and then Lucinda will take him home... Ohhh, not a him, but a her... And, the kitty is PREGNANT. LOL That was yesterday's commotion...
Wednesday: Slept until 2pm, when Lucinda knocked at my door taking me away from Dreamland. She saw kitty, and left. So, I came here to my aunt's place so I could tell the world about me, so people do not start thinking I died or something...
;)
Back to work tomorrow. Friday will be Aguadilla, whole day.

ANTES DE HABLAR DE ALGUIEN DEBERÍAMOS HACER CASO A SÓCRATES
En la antigua Grecia, Sócrates fue famoso por su sabiduría y por el gran respeto que profesaba a todos. Un día un conocido se encontró con el gran filósofo y le dijo:
¿Sabes lo que escuché acerca de tu amigo?
- Espera un minuto -replicó Sócrates-.
Antes de decirme nada quisiera que pasaras un pequeño examen. Yo lo llamo el examen del triple filtro.
- ¿Triple filtro?
-Correcto -continuó Sócrates-. Antes de que me hables sobre mi amigo, puede ser una buena idea filtrar tres veces lo que vas a decir. Es por eso que lo llamo el examen del triple filtro.
El primer filtro es la verdad.¿Estás absolutamente seguro de que lo que vas a decirme es cierto?
- No -dijo el hombre. -realmente solo escuché sobre eso y...
- Bien -dijo Sócrates-. Entonces realmente no sabes si es cierto o no.
Ahora permíteme aplicar el segundo filtro, el filtro de la bondad. ¿Es algo bueno lo que vas a decirme de mi amigo?
- No, por el contrario...
- Entonces, deseas decirme algo malo sobre él, pero no estás seguro de que sea cierto.
Pero podría querer escucharlo porque queda un filtro: el filtro de la utilidad.
¿Me servirá de algo saber lo que vas a decirme de mi amigo?
- No, la verdad que no.
- Bien -concluyó Sócrates-, si lo que deseas decirme no es cierto, ni bueno, e incluso no es útil ¿para qué querría saberlo?
Usa este triple filtro cada vez que oigas comentarios sobre alguno de tus amigos cercanos y queridos... ¿Funcionarà verdad? Si todos lo ponemos en practica el mundo puede resultar un lugar mas amable.

You are important to God
Is that really true?
"Or don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God?"
God values you so much that he even allows your body to become a temple is which he lives. God does not need to live in you. He can live anywhere. But, by choosing to live within you, he declares you his temple, his dwelling place. What a great value he places on you to do that.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20

At work...
Seems that at least everything at work is running smoothly, even if it's taking more time than I am willing to give... Ah! I am getting home beyond dead, but at least I am getting some feedback from people's facial features. Yes, I do my job, and I am proud of my problem-solve it approach. I am not a stuck-up, I just prefer to do my job without thinking of humans because then I get mad, enraged, pissed... It is better to be cool about things you cannot change, like people stupidity... LOL There are some that give surprises that are good enough to make you believe that there IS good people alive... Wow... And lately it's like someone from heaven is sending me signals that I shall not despair, that there is hope for everything, that He is watching and taking care of things... I had to drop all the things I was carrying and let Him solve them... I was going mad. So much stress, so many bills to pay, so little money, so little cooperation... It all consumes... For what? I mean... I get sick, I must stay home... Do nothing but observe my dear kitties... Rot behind my walls... I do ENJOY my apartment, but if I stay there I go insane because I start thinking too much... That's me, always thinking... And without the phone I cannot at least complain about it to Coriolis or Lucinda... I can do nothing more unless I get proper payment, and still opportunity doesnt knock... Oh... whatever... I will make that opportunity next year, when all stars collide. Yay! I gotta believe! Parapa eat your doggy-heart out! :D
At home...
Auntie is definitively bipolar... Like everyone around me? LOL One day she fights, the next day she's all smiles. I wish I could do more for her... I want to change everything in the house: Living Room, Bedroom, Dining Room... She's had them for 36 years and they are falling to pieces... I want her to enjoy new pretty stuff before her time comes... But my situation with bills doesn't improve and so... Wishing is not as good as Getting... I try to dig the bait for fishing, but it's not enough... Ahhh!
Uncle is selling the land he has in Florida. Why, oh why! Ever since I was little he promised that land would be mine. It is a waste to sell it now. I was planning on building a small house for vacation or moving out 5 years from now... Another wish, another dissapointment... Just like he did with the car that was "mine", whish he sold...
Mommy dearest still being her self. Along with granny dearest. Grandpa still hanging on.
Yesterday I called my sister, and finally got to talk for a minute after 7 months or so! LOL We both have very busy lives, I know that much... I need to get her new measurements as she was in a strict diet and lost some 20 pounds... Yayayayay! Lucky her. I am not made for diets. I was thinking about the South Beach, but it takes away bread and bread is the only thing I can afford for everyday breakfast... So big deal. I may not be a petite model, but I am a Big Girl Model. I love myself as I am, I have always been like this and I see no problem with it. People can kiss my ass. Wait... they may like it... Hmmm...
This is pathetic... I am writing because I couldn't have luch, because I have no money... I do have a Spaghetti can... which I cannot open because I have no can opener or knife at work... And besides I have no microwave plate to heat it... Ode to pathetic me... LOL
Whatever...

Ok, this is the Faith comment of the week:
You are important to God
Is that really true?
"Not even a sparrow, worth less than a penny, can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it...you are more valuable to him than a whole flock of sparrows."
God values you so much that he watches over you no matter where you are or what you are doing. This truly is wonderful, too wonderful to believe.
Matthew 10:29-31
Well, at least someone thinks you are important. No? :)

SUNDAY, sunless ode to dark and moody lives... The rain falls, and then adventurous lashes of light and heat allows its surrender! LOL
Me: I am happy-go-lucky-careless-improper me lately. I feel a bit sad but a bit happy and a lot tired, but positive as I know things will get better if I keep pushing myself beyond my limits... There are no boundaries. I am forever and always, and noone can take that from me. Did some masks... Then some scrapbooking... Then some deals at the favorite goth spot in the mall... and some goth ebay deals too... Life is good.
Kitties:
Crow is happier than ever. Changed his diet to wet food, so he is in heaven. I read wet canned food allows for less urinary tract problems, so I hope this do the trick for him...
Isis, jealous of Crow...
Kali keeps on demanding love at all cost...
And Set keeps on being a Kbrón.
Friends:
Coriolis: Somewhere in time...
Lucinda filming the 20th season of Charmed...
LadyMex: Missing in action 5: The final frontier
AVO: Turning into MrLetterman, but sticking to some music...
Mich: Missing in action 6: Tossed from Hell
Groundel: Who let the dog out? Woof Woof Woof
Kara: Lost in NeopetLand!
Work: Same old same old... Yup, Shit happens. Its natural. :P
Hobbies:
Havent played AD&D in... 7 days... La vena me la pideeeeeee!
Finances:
Broke, as usual by now... Donations are welcomed! LOL
Movies:
Saw Haunted Mansion at Lucinda's last night... It sucked. Worst than I expected.
Seen the 1st hr of Spartacus 3 times, but I always have to go... Damnit...
Saw 5th Element for the 23rd time.
Last thing I saw at the cinema was The Last Samurai... Coincidence?
