Cuzco, how to enjoy it and save tons of money!
Cuzco aka the Rome of America. The Sacred Valley of the Incas.
Population: 358,052. Before you go, here are some things you definitely need to check: You will see places like: Ollantaytmabo (very beautiful ruins), Sacsayhuamán (these ruins are very cool and big and you will love it there), Pisac, The Sacred Valley (such a beautiful place, breathe the pure air there!), Chincheros (you’re gonna find some popular markets but don’t buy anything there because it’s more expensive that Cusco; you’re gonna see also some colonial churches but you’re not allowed to take pictures inside the place, so just your memory), Qenko, Tambomachay (far away from the other places) lots of museums (I recommend the Contemporary Popular Art museum), etc. In the city you can go to the Cathedral but you have to pay like 25 soles so we didn’t visit, just took pics outside of it. There is also Qoricancha aka Temple of the Sun. In the city, as a Peruvian I paid like 5 soles to get in, my friends paid 15 soles. - From Cusco you take a taxi (at Pavitos street) to Ollantaytambo. Pay between 8 to 10 soles (here I’m not sure if each one has to pay that, probably yea) but no more than that. The way lasts between 1 h 30 m – 1 h 45 m. My experience, my taxi driver was nuts and he drove really fast and the way was dark and sometimes I think he was sleeping while driving so GOOD LUCK choosing your driver! Now, about the prices: • There are 3 trains: The Backpacker (the cheapest and the one I recommend if you wanna save money) Vistadome (kinda expensive) and Hiram Bingham (the most luxurious one). If you are a backpacker like me, probably you wanna save money! So for me it was 10 soles to go to Machu Picchu and 43 dollars just to come back. 2 of us went to this place that is a block or two away from “Los Caminantes” to buy the tickets to enter in the Inca City: Machu Picchu. One or two blocks and then turn left. How I remember so many details about how many blocks and stuff like that… well… I’m not creepy, numbers is my thing. I remember numbers all the time! (dates, birthdays, phone numbers, number of blocks, etc) – Not kidding! The other 2 went to this other place and bought the bus tickets to go from Aguas Calientes to Machu Picchu. You have to wake up early because lots of people want to climb the waynapicchu and there are only 200 allowed at 7 am and 200 more around 10am I think. And believe me, we woke u at 4am and there were lines of people trying to buy their tickets. Lucky for us, lots of old couple that wouldn’t make it to the top of Waynapicchu… then those people proved that we were wrong! Shame on us! 27. In the city, try to eat where the restaurants offer a menu. You are gonna find from different prices from 3 to fortysomething. Between 5 to 7 for a menu is fine. Trust me. 28. In the city, also there is this beautiful neighborhood during the day calles “San Blas”. Very beautiful but at night, just don’t go. You’re gonna find a line of tourists sitting down smoking weed. 29. Always have change and coins with you. 30. If you see something typical like people is customs or animals with their owners around always ask if you can take a picture. Sometimes they are gonna ask you for money. My experience #1: these little girls asked us 1 sol to take a pic with this little llama. We gave them 1 sol but they wanted a sol each one, I know it’s not expensive but you are gonna feel like they are taking advantage of you. My experience #2: One of my friends wanted to take pictured of this lady selling oranges in the market, when the woman saw what we were doing; she started throwing oranges to us so we had to run. Ask before you take pictures of people. This advice can save your life! For more information about Cusco you can visit this website (http://wikitravel.org/en/Cuzco#b) but I suggest to don’t believe everything that it says. My own experience is way better than what travel books can say about it.
What you need to know if you go to Cuzco?
Basically, that you don’t need tons of money. It is more expensive than other cities in Peru but anyone who has a decent job can afford all the expenses.
1. Book everything about it at least two weeks before you travel. Why? It’s always good to know where you are going to and what are you gonna find there, the customs and how people live. You may need to use that info in some personal experience.
2. I went to Cusco at the end of October and first days of November. The weather was fine although it rained a lot some days. I heard that in December and January the weather is not very good but if that is the only time you have to go there, just go. Weather changes all the time. But try to don’t go from the end of January to March because then the weather is the worst of the year.
3. If you don’t wanna spend much money, you can travel by bus (what we did although I could have taken a plane). We travel from Trujillo to Lima by Linea (comfortable seats, toilet and reliable company). From Lima to Cusco you can go by Tepsa (comfortable seats, safe bus, food included and toilet). Now, one thing you need to know and I actually didn’t so:
- From Trujillo to Lima = 8 hours.
- From Lima to Cusco = 21 PAINFUL hours. Why? Only 5 hours of straight highway, for the next 16 hours, the highway is like a snake. You can’t sleep well, unless you TAKE SLEEPING PILLS, if you are TIRED or DRUNK (kidding!). But at least you can enjoy the view and save lots of money. Anyways, but if you travel with more people it is fun, unless you travel alone.
- If you take a plane, you spend like 4 times more money and Cusco is not that cheap but spends only an hour travelling. Your choice!
4. Take pills for the altitude sickness because it’s awful. Believe it or not, my friends didn’t have the altitude sickness but I (A Peruvian who travels to the Andes and basically everywhere in Peru) had it.
5. In Lima, you need to be careful and control your time if you don’t wanna miss the bus or plane. (It happened to us and I really hope that doesn’t happen to you). You never know how the traffic is gonna be in Lima,
6. At the bus station in Cusco (in case you take the bus), don’t pay more than 5 soles for the taxi. When arrived we didn’t know that and we paid like 8 soles or more. Next time we took a taxi from our hostel to the bus station it was only 3.50 soles.
7. When you arrived in Cusco, stayed at least 3 hours in your hotel. If you don’t, after an hour you will feel totally tired and sick. HELLO ALTITUDE! Let m breath, c’mon!
8. We stayed in a Guest House called “Estrellita” (15 soles each person, we were 4). It’s not a luxurious place but it’s very comfortable, you share the bathroom (with hot water) but it’s ok because there are lots of bathrooms in that place and at the time we were there just few people so we actually had like 3 bathrooms. Breakfast is included in the price, you can use the kitchen (I recommend that if what you’re cooking is not expensive), a mini hall where you can watch TV (with cable but C’ MON, you’re in Cusco you DON’T NEED A TV, believe me!), and they also offer laundry service (5 soles per kilogram of clothes).
9. If you wanna cook, you can buy food at Mega supermarket. I suggest you to go to Mega supermarket that is near Manco Capac Park because there are two supermarkets. Taxis are not more than 4 soles. I don’t know if they are more expensive now but in 2009 the prices were fine for 4 girls.
10. If you wanna go to Machu Picchu (of course, if not, what is the point of being there?) and don’t wanna carry all your stuff with you, you can let them at the Guest House, without paying anything. The people that worked there were very nice and honest. But if you don’t wanna have problems, just take your cameras, ipods, cellphones and money with you and just leave your clothes there.
11. To see the city and the ruins around it, I suggest you to take a tour, it’s not expensive and it’s divided in two days. The first day costs 15 soles and the second day tour costs 25 soles. Also you need to buy a ticket (the entrance to all of those places you are gonna visit).
12. The price of the entrance and lots of services depends on:
- Your nationality, if you’re Peruvian you pay little money but if you’re a foreigner you have to pay more. (I don’t say a little more, I say MORE… It’s racist, I know)
- If you are student or not. If you are a Peruvian student (from university) you pay less than anyone else. If you are a student from any other part of the world you pay less than a foreigner that is not a student. For that you need an ISIC carnet that certificates you’re a university student in another part of the world. Other carnets/cards are not allowed- I paid 40 soles but my friends had to pay 130 soles.
13. Be careful when you walk on the streets, especially if you go there during holidays. Every city is dangerous, and if you look like a “tourist” you know what I mean, with a camera and a map and an explorer hat is even more dangerous.
14. When you go to Machu Picchu you need to BUY THE TICKET in the train station (located in Pachacutec Street). I recommend buying the train ticket that leaves from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Caleintes. Let me explain!
Once you have your ticket that says: Ollantaytambo – Aguas Calientes:
- You are now at the Ollantaytambo station. Once again, be careful with your things. Don’t trust in anybody. Take the train from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes (a city you have to stop before going to Machu Picchu).
• Peruvians pay from 10 – 30 soles but they travel in a different part of the train. In my case, to go to Machu Picchu I paid 10 soles but on my way back (Not my lucky day!) there was no space in the Backpacker train so my friends and I had to pay for the Vistadome that costs 43 dollars (Way to expensive for me but I traveled in the same part of the train with my friends and got free snacks! Yeahh woohoo - sarcastic). So after my experience I recommend to book your train ticket for both ways when you arrive in Cusco, so do whatever you wanna do in the city and around it for 3 or 4 days and then go to Machu Picchu!
• If you are a foreigner you pay in the Backpacker train 32 dollars, Vistadome 43 dollars and Hiram Bingham lots of money like 250 dollars.
• You should be at the train station at least an hour before you travel.
• From Ollantaytambo (where the train station is) to Aguas Calientes (the little town you arrive before going to Machu Picchu), the trip lasts 1h 40m aprox.
15. If you are gonna spend a night in Aguas Calientes, you should make the reservation at least two days ago you plan to go there. My friends I stayed at “Los Caminantes”, it was comfortable, people are kind, you share bathrooms but that’s not a problem at all. You can check that in your guide and if I find the phone number I’ll post it here.
16. To enjoy Machu Picchu and if you wanna climb the Waynapicchu (And I suggest you to do it because it’s a unique experience) it’s necessary that you spend a night in Aguas Calientes. We spend the night and woke up around 4 in the morning to start doing what you need to do around 5:
- The bus tickets place is next to the bridge (there’s only one bridge so it’s impossible you get lost).
17. Now, the entrance has different prices and one more time it depends if you’re Peruvian or foreigner or student. In my case for being a Peruvian and a student I paid 31 soles but my friends they didn’t have ISIC cards and were from Germany, they had to pay 124 soles. This is important, wherever you go, bring your ISIC card, that proves that you are a foreigner student so you pay like 62 soles.
18. The bus ticket (again the racist thing) also depends if you’re Peruvian and student. My case, Peruvian student: 7 dollars, if you’re foreigner you pay 14 dollars and if you are student you pay 12.50 dollars. That bus ticket if for both ways.
The bus ride takes between 25 to 30 minutes.
19. If you wanna go to the Waynapicchu Mountain, you have to take the first bus. In my case I arrived to Machu Picchu around 6.40 am. So I had plenty of time. You enter to that way that takes you to the Mountain at 7am. There are 2 times scheduled when you can go to Waynapicchu: 7am and 10 am. Why 7am, well, for different reasons, first, it’s not very sunny so it’ll be better if you’re gonna climb (believe me!), second, because only 400 hundred people can climb the Waynapicchu every day. (Aha… only 400 people).
20. One thing that is VERY IMPORTANT: bring lots of water with you, and don’t believe people that work there and say to don’t carry bottles of water with you. But to avoid any trouble, you should take a container instead of plastic bottles because according to people that work there, it’s not allowed.
My experience: My friends and I followed the %$#& rules and we left our water and food in the hotel; we also threw the water we had (including juice, yourt) in the trash cans. What a mistake! Everybody took their water and food with them, because nobody said anything about it! Nobody! So why did they tell us that? Keep reading, my friend.
21. You climb the Waynapicchu for an hour, that’s what they say, but my friends and I did it in 2 hours and a half (both ways). Couch potatoes alert! (nah, it was exhausting, but it worth it). Wear comfortable running shoes and hats. Don’t bring too much weight with you (no heavy backpacks). It’s very very very exhausting! If you take your water with you, you’re gonna save between 5 to 8 soles because at the end of the trip they sell PLASTIC bottles of water for that price. A bottle of water here is 1 sol. So it was kinda expensive for me maybe not for my friends because they paid more for water before coming here but believe, then you’ll need those soles for other things including FOOD. Keep reading and you’ll know why!
22. If you wanna use the bathroom, use it before you enter because there are no bathrooms there; neither tWaynapicchu nor Machu Picchu. There’s one at the entrance but in case you wanna go to the bathroom and you’re in Machu Picchu, you can go outside with your entrance ticket and then go in again, without paying extra money.
23. If you wanna spend the whole day exploring the ruins, as I said before, you should take your own food with you, why? Because food in Machu Picchu is very expensive. My friends asked for sandwich and each one was between 20 – 25 soles (quite expensive, considering the fact that you pay between 5 to 8 soles for one in the rest of Peru). I asked for “quiche” and that was the only thing we eat for 9 hours (the hours we spent there between Waynapicchu and Machu Picchu).
24. When you are back in Cusco and you plan to go to a disco, there are several places and if you go out at night, you’re gonna find out that everybody is your friend. People offer you free entrance tickets to lots of clubs around Plaza de Armas and free drinks too! What I recommend? Accept every ticket, every entrance… you never know. My friends and I went to Mamma Africa which is not bad but there are better clubs than it. There you can learn how to dance salsa for free from certain hours. Do it if you aren’t that bad or if you’re drunk enough (kidding again!). There’s another place called The Lek, nice place with music live, but it looked more like a place to talk and see professional dancers than to dance and have fun. And this place that for me and my friends was the best is called Roots where you can have all kinds of music but good music (drum & bas, r & b, electronic, rock, reggae, house, Latin music) and free drinks of course! What did we do? Well, we were in all of those clubs for the free drinks but at the end we stayed at Roots. Just be careful, because Cusco is also known as a city where people go to lose themselves there. Drug things, you know.
25. This street is called PROCURADORES. Be careful there. Everybody offers you drugs. All kind of drugs, very cheap! And if you don’t want to, they give it to you for free. Be careful with the “bricheros” too. There are lots in Cusco and sometimes they follow you! If you don’t have a clue what bricheros mean, google it.
26. You need to learn how to say NO! Why? Everybody follows you and offer you lots of souvenirs. Don’t buy on the streets. And don’t buy near Plaza de Armas, if you walk a little bit more you can find “Mercados artesanales”. Those are cheaper, more variety of things and you can bargain there. Never pay what they ask for. You put the price. For example if there’s a t-shirt for 10 soles, tell the seller: I’ll pay you 7 soles for it. Mention him/her you’re a student and that you don’t have much money. Don’t be afraid to bargain if you’re a foreigner, because, if I have to be honest, my European travel mates got better prices than I. Always offer 2 or 4 soles less, alright?
* Btw, you can also go to Machu Picchu doing the Inca Trail but it’s more expensive and requires more time, 4 days and 3 nights walking. The experience is cool, at least that’s what I heard.
** There are different routes. If you are planning about going to the South so first you go to Arequipa, then the bus ticket is not very expensive, and from Lima you can take a plane to Arequipa! Anyways, I wrote how to go to Cusco from Trujillo to Lima and then from Lima to Cusco.
Have a good trip! Hope this info helps!
Why Zooey? Porque Zooey?
Some weeks ago some people asked me why I like Zooey Deschanel that much. Well, I just can describe her in one word: UNIQUE. I love Zooey and her work. Her music inspires me to do music like hers. It is so freshing. Her movies are cool and she sings in them. The way she is makes me realize that being different from the rest of people is not wrong, it just proves that being unique, makes us special. Her strange looks and the way she talks are not weird, are just her. Those things makes her being her. So: 1. She is cool. 2. She is Bones’s main actress little sister. For people who don’t know. Bones is my favorite TV show. Zooey was in one chapter in season 4 I guess and her sister rocks as Temperance Brennan. 3. She and Him are one of my favorite bands. M. Ward with Zooey are so talented and her videos are so… cute and different from the others. 4. She has a blog in tumblr so I can follow her things and she is funny. 5. I love her character Summer in 500 days with Summer, one of my favorite movies. 6. She and her husban Ben Gibbard rock! Their voices fit. Also, I like her because she is married to Ben Gibbard and there is hope that they can record a CD together and that will be awesome. 7. She is not Kathy Perry, although lots of people keep saying she is Kathy Perry, but she is not. And they’re not even 0.01% alike. 8. She loves animals as much as I do so that makes her and me: ADORABLE people in this world. 9. A company create dolls inspired on her and her style. Gosh!!! She has her own dolls! I wish I could have my own dolls. And… 10. I like her because I see a lot of me in she. The only difference is that she is FAMOUS and I’M NOT. ————————————————————————————————— Hace algunas semanas, algunas personas me preguntaron porque me gusta tanto Zooey Deschanel. Bueno, la puedo describir en una palabra: UNICA. Me encanta Zooey y su trabajo. Su música me inspira a hacer música como la de ella. Es muy fresca. Sus películas son chéveres y canta en ellas. La manera como es ella me hace pensar que el ser diferente del resto de personas no es malo, solo prueba que ser únicos, nos hace especiales. Sus miradas extrañas y su manera de hablar no son extrañas, solo es ella. Estas cosas la hacen ser ella. Asi que: 1. Ella es cool. 2. Es la Hermana menor de Bones. Para los que no saben Bones es mi serie de televisión favorita. Zooey aparece en un capítulo de la 4ta temporada creo además, su hermana es lo máximo como Temperance Brennan. 3. She and Him so una de mis bandas favoritas. M. Ward con Zooey don muy talentosos y sus videos son lindos y diferente a los demás. 4. Tiene un blog en Tumblr así que puedo seguir sus posts y es graciosa. 5. Me encanta su personaje de Summer en 500 days with Summer, una de mis películas favoritas. 6. Ella y su esposo Ben Gibbard rock! Sus voces encajan completamente. Además, me gusta porque esta casada con Ben Gibbard y tengo esperanza de que graben u n disco juntos y eso sería genial. 7. No es Kathy Perry, aunque muchos dicen que es Kathy Perry, pero no lo es. Ni siquiera son 0.01% parecidas. 8. Ama los animales tanto como yo por eso ella y yo somos: personas ADORABLES en este mundo. 9. Una compañía creo muñecas inspiradas en ella y en su estilo. Gosh!!! Tiene sus propias muñecas! Ya quisiera yo tener las mías. Y… 10. Me cae bien porque veo mucho de mi en ella. La unica diferencia es que ella es FAMOSA y YO NO. Otra loca y despeinada como yo. Rose =)
It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.

Adiós 2010!
Hace tiempo que no comparto nada por aquí y ya es momento de actualizarme y actualizarlos.
No hay mucho que contar. Bien…veamos. Estudiar abarca mi rutina de lunes a viernes, los sábados me dedico a diferentes actividades, los Domingos a Dios (aunque no sólo los domingos) y el lunes…vuelvo a mi rutina Universitaria.
Tengo algo que agregar, las noches han sido algo fuera de mi rutina habitual, de mi rutina de toda la vida quiero decir. He estado saliendo más, a bailar, a karaokes, a comer con amigos, a reuniones en algunas casas de amistades y cosas por el estilo. No es costumbre mía pero vaya que la diversión se contagia muy rápido.
Estoy emocionada al mismo tiempo por la idea de que empieza un nuevo año en tan sólo 1 día, 8 horas y 46 minutos (Hora aquí en Perú).
¿Qué me emociona? La fantástica idea de que en el tiempo antes mencionado estaré a punto de empezar mi último año en la universidad. No es genial, soy sincera y lo seré siempre así que debo decir: Por fin dejaré de mirar los libros… por un buen tiempo! Tal vez no tan buen tiempo pero al menos un par de meses de vacaciones una vez terminado el stress universitario no está mal! Vamos! ¿A quién no le gustan las vacaciones? Además un año se va volando demasiado rápido. Sólo un año. En un año seré libre de hacer cualquier otra cosa que se me dé la gana hacer. ¿No es genial esa sensación? La sensación de haber terminado algo que te costó esfuerzo, sudor y lágrimas - como dirían algunos?
Tal vez para algunos no es razón suficiente, pero para mí lo es. Para mí es razón suficiente para desear que empiece el nuevo año con tanto afán.
Mi papá tenía razón, al fin y al cabo todos los padres tiene razón en casi todo ¿o no? El tenía razón, una vez que terminas algo que empezaste hace mucho, lo cual demandó tu tiempo y esfuerzo, una vez que lo terminas te seintes complacido contigo mismo; te guste o no lo que hayas estudiado. Al menos, si no te gusta, te demuestras a tí mismo y a los demás - ¿porqué no? - que todo lo que te propones en esta vida a manera de meta, lo consigues.
Debo decir, que mi papá al igual que muchas personas con el doble o tal vez triple de experiencia (quizás madurez) que yo sabrían esto hace mucho tiempo. A otros como a mí, les toma quizás un poco más, pero al fin y al cabo… entendemos. Y esa es la idea.
Dios mediante, toda este emoción que siento en un primer momento y todos los deseos que ahora manifiesto se cumplirán. Y si no fuera así, es porque no está dentro de los planes de Dios que estas cosas ocurran. Igual, debo decir que estoy agradecida por todo lo que obtuve este año.
No fue el mejor año del mundo, capaz ningún año en adelante será completamente el mejor año de toda mi vida pero son buenos. Hubieron despedidas, me sentí frustrada muchas veces, hubieron reconciliaciones, conocí nuevas personas que ahora forman parte muy importante de mi vida, así mismo seguí manteniendo a los amigos de siempre, gané un año más de conocimiento en la Universidad, viaje por diferentes zonas, lugares recorridos con anterioridad pero no del todo conocidos. Costa, Sierra y Selva. Esto último es el “plus” o “el extra” de mi existencia puesto que mi cosa favorita en el mundo es viajar. Y si no me creen es porque no me conocen del todo bien (pero los animo a hacerlo) y para los que sí me creen es que me conocen lo necesario para saber que viajar es mi guilty pleasure y una de las cosas que espero poder seguir haciendo el año que viene.
Los quiero a todos. Por algo están leyendo esto, no acepto a cualquiera en facebook y a todos los que tengo agregados es porque los considero personas muy queridas y que han formado y forman parte de mi vida de alguna forma.
Una última cosa antes de irme, a decir verdad unas cuantas cosas que deseo mencionar, lo que descubrí este año:
1. Zooey Deschanel es una cantante de lujo. Escúchenla. Mis favoritas: “Why don’t you let me stay here?”, “In the sun”, “Sugar town” y “Hello Dolly”.
2. She & Him, es el dueto formado por Zooey Deschanel y M. Ward. Así que básicamente 3 de las 4 canciones mencionadas arriba son de este dueto.
3. Creo que Nicole Kidman ha hecho el mejor papel de su carrera en Rabbit Hole. Me gustó mucho la pélicula. Otra película que me gustó fue La Red Social (The Social Network). Además Law Abiding Citizen estuvo genial al igual que The Uninvited la cual me recordó esta ultima los sentimientos encontrados que me provocó el ver Los Otros.
4. Aprender Alemán no es tan difícil como parece. Y me gusta!
5. La música house y el trance no son lo que eran, o solían ser para mí unos 8 años atrás. Lo que implica el hecho de que ahora me gustan. Y que también me guste salir de fiesta!
6. El yoga es excelente para… uhmm… todo. (Gracias Kate)
7. La vida sin un poco de romance no es del todo vida. En otras palabras, enamorarse no es ridículo, lo que quiero decir es que ya borré la tonta idea de que enamorarse y actuar como alguien enamorado(a) es horrible! Ahora, ya no me suena tan descabellada como antes.
8. Bones es una muy buena serie y mi favorita. Combina drama, comedia, acción, romance, misterio. En otras palabras, de todo un poco. Además el “plus” de la serie es la fantástica química de los personajes. Sin química entre sus personajes ninguna serie existe, verdad?
9. El ser vegetariano no es tan malo después de todo. Pensé que nunca me volvería vegetariana pero ya lo ven (los que de verdad me ven a diario o casi a diario). Llevo varios meses así y de verdad es cuestión de mentalizarse. No digo, sean todos vegetarianos, pero debo decir que ha hecho de mi vida una persona más saludable y pese a algunos carnívoros empedernidos que tal vez critiquen o juzguen mi decisión, esta ya fue tomada, y vivo una vida normal y saludable. Podrían intentarlo,a mi no me afectó en nada, no me desmayé, no me volví anémica (pues supe llevar un control adecuado) contribuyo con el ambiente, me adapto mejor a mis ideas e ideales (me siento más cerca de ellos) y lo mejor de todo, soy feliz haciendo lo que hago. Llevando la dieta que llevo, para los que dicen que me pierdo lo mejor de la vida, lo dudo. No creo que comer carne sea lo mejor que a un ser humano le puede pasar en la vida. Al menos no para mí.
En fin, sólo mi opinión.
Y por último,
10. Esto es un dato que leí un día navegando por la red. Un 12% de la población sueña sólo en blanco y negro. Algunos investigadores sugirieron que este tipo de sueños ocurrió en la época en que hubo transición de la televisión en blanco y negro a una a color. Además leí que una persona puede tener de 4 a 7 sueños por noche.
Ven! Lo que uno puede encontrar en internet. Y con esto me despido de este año.
Feliz Año a todos! Espero que el año siguiente sea un mejor año para todos y que sus metas se vayan cumpliendo conforme van haciendo que eso suceda.
FELIZ AÑO!

P.S. I’M TOO LAZY RIGHT NOW TO TRANSLATE THIS INTO ENGLISH. (SO SORRY, I’LL DO IT AS SOON AS I HAVE SOME FREE TIME).
A veces… / Sometimes…
Hoy en la mañana me di cuenta de algo. Muchas veces podemos querer muchas cosas… pero no todo lo que deseamos puede ser nuestro. No hablo de lo material solamente, me refiero también a lo emocional, intelectual y como no, alguna persona en especial. Para explicarme mejor citaré algunos ejemplos como alguna meta pendiente, un sueño a medio cumplir, una amistad con quien quisiéramos retomar contacto… en fin, muchas cosas.
Y quiero decir, que lo que más deseamos puede estar fuera de nuestro alcance de momento. Porque si algo tengo muy claro es que todo lo que deseamos; con fe, convicción y esfuerzo, se logra tener. Así que me atrevo a decir que todo lo que deseamos lo podemos tener pues sólo hay que poner todo de nuestra parte. A veces tal vez no salga como deseamos pero lo que obtenemos tampoco es tan malo. Si lo piensan bien, pudo habernos ido peor.
¿Por qué toco este tema? La verdad, porque a veces necesito hablar de “tu a tu” conmigo misma. A veces necesito levantarme la moral, darme algo de ánimos… o un poco más de fuerza. A veces siento que hago más de lo que muchos harían por conseguir aquello que tanto deseo. A veces siento que doy demasiado de mí que al final pareciera que no tengo más fuerzas pero no es verdad. Nunca es demasiado. Lo que es mucho para nosotros puede ser poco para los demás.
Entonces, debo decir, que siempre estaré ahí, siempre me esforzaré, siempre daré más y más, así no reciba una recompensa en el momento que yo quiero, así no pueda obtener nada de lo que deseo/sueño/anhelo en su momento. Vendrá tarde o temprano. Hace 3 meses pensaba que la vida era más justa con unos que otros pero me equivoqué. La vida es justa con todos… a su debido momento. Y no me refiero nuevamente a lo económico. Sino… a que todos tenemos lo mismo. Todos tenemos la misma capacidad de amar, de desear, de querer lograr algo, de alcanzar lo que nos proponemos hacer… todos tenemos lo mismo.
El que persevera alcanza.
——————————————————————————————————-
Today in the morning, I realized about something. Most of the time we want many things… but we can’t have all that we want. I’m not talking about material things, I mean the emotional, intellectual and why not someone special. To be more clear I’m gonna text some examples like a goal, a dream we want to accomplish, a friendship we want to have contact again.
And this is what I have to say, that what we want might be out of our hands “de momentum”. Because if there’s something clear to me is that we can have everything we want but we need a dose of faith, conviction and effort. So I must say that we can have everything if we give everything of us. Sometimes it’s not what we dreamed of but what we get is not that bad. If you think about it, it could have been worse.
Why do I talk about this? The truth is because sometimes I need to talk from “me to me” with myself. Often I need to raise my moral, cheer me up… or just a Little bit of support to myself. It happens, you know, I feel that I do more than others and that I deserve what I was fighting for. Sometimes I feel that I give too much from me and at the end it seems that I don’t have enough strength, but it’s not true. Never is too much. What is a lot for us can be little for others.
So, to sum up, I always gonna be there, I always gonna hold on, I always gonna make a huge effort, more and more, even though my reward is not around the corner at the time. It will come, sooner or later. Three months ago I thought life wasn’t fair for some people, but I was wrong. Life is fair with everybody and here again I’m not talking about material stuff. I mean… that we all were born with the same. We all have the same capacity to love, to wish, to fight for something we want, to achieve something, to get what we desire. We all have the same opportunities.
The one that perseveres reaches.
