It's all about FOOD!

Emotions are related to what we eat, and perhaps it's such a cliché but whenever we feel down or sad the tendency is to eat something sweet whether is ice-cream or chocolate that does not matter, the explanation may go a little bit further, chocolate for example it is well-known for its anti-depressive properties, there for all we need is a boost, whenever we are blue that's all we need so that's why we find ourselves eating sweet things.

But that's not the only reason why people eat sweets, we all love food and the pleasure that goes with it.
We are always trying to get some new flavour, that's why we love foreign cultures food so much, all those aromas, all those textures, spicy touches, simple nuances of flavours which drives us crazy.
And the aroma is so important, our sense smell helps us to perceive different scents and when it comes to food is the first judge, if something doesn't smell nice you just won't try it! that simple.

Presentation is another important factor, we don't have to eat in a fancy restaurant all the time to have that neat and lovely, yet modern presentation of a dish, but if something looks too messy or just not pleasant then you will be out of that place.

And I'm pretty sure you guys are wondering : Why is she writing about this? and better yet: why is she writing about it as if she was innovating? We already know about this?, and yes of course I would not hesitate about that, but all of the things I mentioned previously have a purpose, stay with me!

Food helps us to enjoy live, to give ourselves a treat, and living in such a hectic world we deserve one, so what I'm trying to say is whenever you feel like eating don't think it through that much, sometimes we hold back because well we don't want to gain wait and we want to stay healthy, but this has gone too far, we live in a world where you must be skinny otherwise you won't fit in, and people will stare at you as if you were sick or just as a looser that can't control his/her mouth, you are considered to be ugly just because you have a little bit extra, and honestly I'm getting so upset with that, and why is that?

Well let me tell you why I'm so upset about it, I'm a girl with a bit extra let's say, and it's not like I want to promote that everybody should be fat now, but I know I'm beautiful and also all those others out there who have weight issues, or all those who love food, and all of those who just like being with a little extra. There is nothing wrong with that, that doesn't make you any less beautiful.

We should stop being slaves of capitalism, we should try to stop judging everybody out there, whether too fat, too skinny, a bit extra or whatever. We must start by stop hating ourselves, you're not alone out there, and if you ever feel like talking to someone about it, I'm not saying that I'm an expert on the subject but I will understand you!

Don't be afraid of how you look, of how much you weight, you deserve as much as everybody else to enjoy life, food and the world, enjoy yourself!

Going Back

A mixture of sensations,
an infinite number of emotions,
endless rainbows pass before my eyes,
symphonies of sounds fill up my ears,
everything is so close and yet untouchable...

Flavours I have never tasted before,
shapes I have never seen,
textures I have never touched,
people and places I have never encountered before,
everything seems so familiar and yet unknown...

All sorts of sounds and waves surrounding the Earth,
I swam deep into the ocean watching and floating,
I encounter creatures I have only imagined,
magnificent and remarkable,
superb and unimaginable,
and we managed to emerged together from the waters,
everything seems so wonderful and fantastic...

I found myself so far away from my place,
from where I am supposed to be,
from where I am supposed to belong...
I began to feel so comfortable and to forget all about my past life,
somehow I fit perfectly in this world,
somehow this is the place,
the place I was waiting for,
the place where I would feel myself,
the place where I was meant to be born

Back to the base of the world
back to the roots of my very own self
back to the beginning of life.

You in Time

Another day passes by and I look the same,
Tired, absent and spiritless...
Somehow I have managed to keep a mournful sight of myself
As if I was the one on a coffin
As if I was the one who has been cremated...

Seven days pass by and I feel the same,
An atmosphere of sorrow has penetrated deep into my soul
No matter how much I try, I just do not succeed...
I attempt to forget but those memories will forever remain...
I will venture one day into the deepest corner of my mind
To put my life in order and gain knowledge about me.

It is the fourth night and my heart does not seem to stop
Its constant rhythm keeps me awake at night
Its permanent desire for love gives me no rest
And even if most fractures have healed, the scars stay...
Perhaps as a warning, perhaps as a reminder...

Night after night I have wondered
During the day I have been dreaming away
Unaware of life happening besides me
Unaware of the damage it was causing
But with hopes and regrets that will forever be there,
Trying to keep me awake
Trying to make this all go away
Trying to bring the love that will save my soul
And even if I despair,
My hopes and dreams will never fade away.

Obscure

Every thing is dark 
It doesn't matter where you look 
The light doesn't seem to reach you 
In the shadows you remain 
Blind, rejected and excluded
From the world that has condemn you 

Nobody misses you 
Nobody remembers you
Nothing last
Nothing remains, 
Not even a single memory on your behalf 

Every thing was just a game, 
A lie, 
A lie which managed to poison your soul
And so your existence becomes meaningless
Your life seems rather pointless
Sorrow and a broken heart are all that is left

Lonesome and forgotten you've became
At the end, suffering was the only goal to pursuit 
at it you did a magnificent work 
But you all should know that you've got some help 
and such credit must be given to you know who

The brightest part of whom you've once been
has managed to fade away 
and so have you 
there might be hope for those who look for you
but they should know,
that only in obscurity you shall be found

Cold weather in Europe

Between the polar wave all over Europe and the cold fronts elsewhere, the climate hasn't been so neat over the past few weeks and even though we try to make it through the day or we complain because the cold is perhaps a little bit too much to bare, I have no saying in this since people in Europe are dying over this, and maybe it is time to sit down and think a little bit about what could the government over there do.

Don't get me wrong I'm just a Mexican girl with an opinion, and yes this Mexican girl is a fan of football, and the Euro 2012 is coming and everybody is so excited about this event, specially since its an even taking place at Poland and Ukraine, which I think is a huge plus it will increase the tourism on those countries and people will become interested in both cultures not just the football event per say.

You'll probably ask yourselves wasn't she going to talk about the cold weather? And my answer to you it's yes, so just keep on reading. Both governments have made all the arrangements in order to have a great event, but have they notice the numbers of the people dying in both Ukraine and Poland due to extreme weather, and of course the ones suffering are homeless people and elderly mostly, elderly probably there isn't much to do about them but homeless people are loosing their feet due to cold weather, and what will they do if they are already homeless and now without a foot too?

The main reason of all the homeless people dying is because in Ukraine they don't have shelters for those who don't have a house to live in, isn't that ridiculous? If you are in a country were it snows and it's not just cold as in Mexico let's say, shouldn't there be shelters for the people to seek refuge at night??

It is amazing how we are willing to spend money in things that may be not as important as someone else's life...

Submerged

Sometimes you don't know what to to say, what to think, what to write, what to sing...
And so you remain silent, people may find you indifferent, people may find you rude...
You choose to ignore them and then you move on...
You keep on walking and you float along with the wind, in perfect syncrony
Watching a leave dancing in the air,
A perfect combination of green and everything else...
Appreciating life and what surrounds it, that seems more important, more meaningful...
And even if you find yourself trying to change, trying to be in the same place as everybody else
You know your heart, your restless soul and your reserved being...
For now this is right, for now you do not need more than this...
Life provides you with its wonders and you just need to relax and be marvelled at them...
And you will find yourself submerged by nature...

I will go on...

I know I was wrong 
but, who are you to judge me like that? 
Who do you think you are to call me names like those?
All those insults that have broken my soul
All those tears shed since you've started to put me down 

I won't take it any longer,
I think about death 
I consider suicide

But I won't give you the satisfaction 
I won't be weak
I have to keep on breathing
Somewhere a new life is there waiting for me

I'll run away and forget about you 
I'll change my ways and be the best version God created of me
I won't disappoint myself 

All this crying I cannot stop
But this new plan will be fulfilled 
I won't live here
I don't want a life like this any more
