An Echo From The Heart

"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.  

If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. 

If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. 

If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. 

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. 

Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. 

For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway." 

 

 

Hoy Te Dejo En Libertad

This is probably the worst quality video ever, but I LOVE this song and so here it is, me having fun @karaoke. I will post the translation so that you can  have an idea of what I am saying, the lyrics are beautiful!

Today 9 years ago, I arrived to Canada. Definitely a bittersweet day. I arrived here planning on staying 5 months only, but here I am, 9 years later... :)

 LYRICS

I'm Setting You Free

I feel like you don't recognize me
I feel that you don't care when you touch me (you don't care)
Every time there are more fears
The insecurities keep growing.

And it hurts me to watch you trying to save
  what once brought us together as one soul
It's not there any more
even though you are
It's time to face the reality...

You like me, but I love you
That's the truth
Your presence here is killing me
feeling that you're caught in the middle
I am tired of trying and failing
to make you fall back in love with me
I know you don't want to hurt me
But I have to let you go
Today I am setting you free.

I don't hate you, there are no regrets
It's just that the heart
is not here any more (your heart is not here any more)
The colors have faded away
Your hands are not looking for me any more
And it hurts me to watch you trying to save

what once brought us together as one soul
It's not there any more
even though you are
It's time to face the reality.

You like me, but I love you,
It's the truth
Your presence here is killing me
Seeing you caught in the middle
I am tired of trying and failing
to make you fall back in love with me
I know you don't want to hurt me
But I have to let you go
Today I am setting you free.

Staying with you hurts me more
And see that despite my warmth
You're still cold
You like me but I love you
It's the truth...

Someone Is Homesick

Ohhhh Boy! Canadian Winters can get tough sometimes! Especially for a girl like me who LOVES the beach, nature, palm trees and every other thing that lives around WARM weather, you name it! And to top it all off, far away from my family! : /   For now, I feel hopeless, February is just starting and the cold will only start to go away at the end of April! *sight* :'(  OH WELL! Going to have to stick to indoor-work outs, work, salsa dancing, playing my guitar, and developing my new business that I will see it born if God allows this 2012. This year will be filled with very radical changes for me, both  professional and personal, and I'm welcoming each one of them with open arms and heart. I'm ready Universe! Bring them on! :)  The first picture is taken in my hometown of Irapuato, Mexico and the second one at La Huasteca Potosina in Mexico as well. In other words, in Paradise! I miss my family, friends, and just everything back in Mexico more than anything tonight... I can't wait to be on a plane once again... Story of my life.

...As my GOOD friend once asked me "How can I prevent my heart from falling for the WRONG guy"?
"I don't need a boy... I WANT a man"

And I replied:
