Life is shitty but there's always toilet paper...

2010 was a year that was practically well a pain in the ass. I had never hit so hard and the deepest in my depression in ages or ever. There were goods and there bads... although the majority was bad starting with the drama in the family and the harassment of several of my family members with my inbox with messages aimed at my mother... I came to the conclusion to delete some of my family members and by accident I deleted people that I did not wish to delete but can you blame? I use facebook as networking not as stay in touch with the family or socializing with random strangers... get it psychos? Passing that page in the family drama  I had to deal with the staleness of my thesis... lack of support from my faculty, students' strike and the nightmare of CIPSHI. Then came the skinny cows and the lack of funds and my savings slipping away in an entire semester damn it to cover the cost related to the investigation which is right now half-way done. Then having an incompetent asshole who always wanted the glory for himself he did everything possible in his hands to delay part of my research and stuff related with a class. Did I mention I had been searching for at least a temporary job and no luck! I understand that in some cases I am over-qualified but then why call me schedule me an interview for then call me the day before and cancel my appointment telling is cancel because the date falls in a holiday and to stay put because they will be returning my call to re-schedule in the next 48 hours. That was in October and still no call from them. I am still searching and still face with this giantic wall were if you do not have someone to cover your ass and have connections you are nothing. I refuse to join in the lines of welfare and food stamps. I know I qualify but I refuse to give in that easy and fall in the never ending cycle of poverty. Am I too proudful? You can say that, but I am looking for others alternatives and the stuff I encounter this year makes me eep!

This year was the year of me getting sick by even just staying outside for a second specially at night. So it was Vitamin- C for me all the time and no luck in that department cause my defenses hit an ultimate time low in some mysterious circumstances. Funny the doctor could not explain it at the time so all she could recommend me was to relax and get distracted. Good luck!  Well I do not blame her, cause if the mind is too stress your body in the long-term si going to make the adjust necessaries in order for you to pay back is due health-wise.  Not to forget two minor stressful incidents ehem two car accidents and a humongous stressful event the students' strike. I came with the conclusion after that event that it was a bogus strike. All that rampling for what? It was well known that sooner or later there was going to be a rise in the students' fees, I agree that the current raise in fees is ridiculous but instead of focusing their energies in to that in the first place they went ahead and set themselves to make sure no students were sanction... sorry no war is successful without heroes and martirs. And I asked what great leaders in this World had confront injustice and come out clean. You never saw them asking them to remove sanctions or the like instead they faced the consequences with their heads up high. Yeah sure some of the leaders are now facing expulsion But that was after the strike and after it was agreed that nobody was going to be sanction. Was that strike a victorious one? No. We had more lost than wins like always. But on this occasion we had a small win we managed to get the public's view in our favor. I say we because I am part of the university and a student, yet I did not agreed upon the strike still I face the consequences of such events with kicking and screaming in my mind. XD

From the good side in 2010, I learn to eat healthier, although I had been slipping away thanks to my shrinking budget and depending at this moment for my mother to buy food I had lost 35 lbs in which 20 were lost in the year 2010. Now I am anxious to find myself a job to get my own food and the ingredients for my healthy dinner. Rice everyday is a nightmare and the rest of the tedious and un-healthy stuff is sickening.
Oh I can not forget the 3 small earthquakes. Is embarrasing on how many Puerto Ricans do not take the proper messure to keep themselves safe. But no they rather keep on with facebook running outside where there they have plenty of light cables floating aroung instead of covering their heads in their home. Funny there were videos of a family praying in the table but they rather run outside than just get down under the table.

I got the chance to be involve in several volunteer gigs. Nothing beats giving to others and doing your share than just sitting at home just erg doing nothing besides watching movies or whatever.

Learned the art of Cold Processing Soap! Awesome isn't?The combination of oils and a certain chemical in order to make soap is just pure magic! Beats the generic mass- process soaps that we get at the supermarket and the like stores.

Lastly I became a grandma to 7 puppies. All of them Labradors. Two dark chocolate pups, and 5 milk chocolate brown pups among them 2 female pups. I am very spoiling with their parents and with them also.


I guess this it for 2010. I hope everything goes well in 2011. Because this year was one of growing and learning with a few blows and a few sun-rays.


Well like Stromae's song Alors on dance! Even to the tunes in life we dislike we have to dance to it and learn how to move to the beats of the drumming of life's song.
