Tu aroma transportado en cada molécula de aire, estalla en infinitas sensaciones de placer que recorren a la velocidad del beso desde lo más alejado de mis tobillos hasta la última hebra en mi cabellera.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;Mi corazón: &lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;al ritmo de una bulería&lt;/span&gt;; y al compás de las palmadas mis pupilas te siguen. El crepúsculo se posa sobre mis mejillas; mi sonrisa me delata y a la luz de tus ojos contemplo &lt;em&gt;las ondas de la naturaleza en tus pasos&lt;/em&gt;. Casi con subtítulos puedo leer tus pensamientos, van muy rápido, zigzaguean y luego se estancan, pesadotes como tres elefantes porfiados; volátiles como un suspiro de abril. Sedosos me cautivan, me obligan a girar el mundo y seguirte a ciegas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;Hace tanto calor; empiezo a condensar. Alguien me ha dicho algo. No logro escuchar. De mi voz, no suelo tener el control.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;Los &lt;strong&gt;misterios&lt;/strong&gt; debajo de tu armadura se forman uno a uno frente al filo de mi mirada. Con tu picardía habitual me indicas que te alcance. Corro tras de ti; &lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;salto&lt;/span&gt;. Con una facilidad &lt;em&gt;casi heroica&lt;/em&gt; te detienes al borde del precipicio de tus &lt;em&gt;deseos&lt;/em&gt;; en esa línea &lt;em&gt;casi invisible&lt;/em&gt; entre uno y dos; &lt;strong&gt;indivisible&lt;/strong&gt; entre &lt;em&gt;amor y odio&lt;/em&gt;. Los fósiles de tus sueños van degradando en millones de colores y se convierten en una &lt;em&gt;lluvia de estrellas&lt;/em&gt; fugaces resbalando sobre toboganes de arco iris. Las nubes me sirven de amortiguadores y en cada una de tus pestañas me catapulto hacia el infinito, balanceándome entre los residentes globos de helio; gotas de escarcha, pasajeros espaciales son. Con un movimiento huracanado giro sobre el eje del amanecer, prolongando esos minutos &lt;strong&gt;entre la almohada &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;y el interruptor de la luz &lt;/em&gt;y es ahí cuando te escucho de nuevo. Me concentro para descifrar tus murmullos y logro reconocer los ecos de tu voz.

Corrijo, me levanté a desayunar a eso de las 13h. Comí arepa con Diablito y Cheese Whiz y tomé té de jazmín. Lo que vino a continuación fue sólo lectura de blogs que tenía un poco abandonados. También ví los minutos pasar clickeando fotos del 2010, 2009 y hasta del 2007 y visitando el facebook desde una computadora en lugar de la, acostumbrada, aplicación Snaptu desde mi Samsung S800 (o Samsung Jet). Y traté de acceder a mi cuenta bancaria holandesa y la página web estaba en mantenimiento. Y traté de pararme de la cama y sólamente conseguí llegar a la cocina, comerme un Pirulín y servirme un vaso de agua; está bien, fueron dos Pirulines. Y en lo que va de año la tasa euro/dólar ha aumentado 0,001 a mi favor y todo eso lo he visto desde mi laptop. Y también logré actualizar los RSS feeds y finalmente observar las actualizaciones de los blogs que leo desde el sidebar en mi Windows Vista. Y pienso: 'ya esto del Windows Vista está como anticuado; ya todo el mundo anda con el Windows 7...y yo que apenas me acostumbraba a este' y también pienso en un montón de pelotudeces que debería estar haciendo y de cómo se me fue el primer día del año echada en cama. Y de cómo mis teléfonos celulares no quieren funcionar y no me importa. Y en que debería actualizar la foto de mi perfil en facebook pero de pronto vuelvo a concluir que la diablilla de 5 años me encanta y la dejo igual. En estos momentos se me ocurre qué deparará el 2011 para mi signo zodiacal Tauro, ascendente Géminis y Cochino en el horóscopo chino; en mi mundo un &lt;b&gt;toro &lt;/b&gt;y un &lt;b&gt;cochino &lt;/b&gt;pueden ser &lt;b&gt;gemelos&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Y lo que vale es el espejo en el que se reflejen&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;. Y decido hacer &lt;b&gt;un pacto conmigo misma&lt;/b&gt; (o con mi otro yo) y es de &lt;b&gt;escribir&lt;/b&gt; más, &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;preocuparme &lt;/span&gt;menos y &lt;b&gt;enamorarme &lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;el doble&lt;/i&gt;. Y que el 2011 &lt;b&gt;sólo sea amor y viajes&lt;/b&gt;. Viajes en '&lt;b&gt;oto&lt;/b&gt;' por muchos sitios. Con amigos y con amor y mucho vino; &lt;b&gt;haciendo sueños realidad&lt;/b&gt;. Y ya llevo casi un mes fuera del invierno, y qué divino y qué rápido se olvida el frío y... uy! ya en Amsterdam es 2 de enero y qué rápido pasa el tiempo y yo aún en mi cama escribiendo tonterías y pensando en que mejor hago algo productivo: como escribirlas. Y mejor cambio la hora de publicación a GMT -4.30 para que este post todavía aparezca el 1.1.11.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Sí...pasar una tarde 'enzotada' en casa puede ser nocivo para la salud.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Pd.: y esta foto que tomé en este restaurant tan delicioso fue como la 5a versión a la primera; ya que me pareció tan curioso y poético lo de que 'entre los pliegues había capas delgadísimas de misterio', que debía capturarlo como mis ojos lo veían: muy artísticamente.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;"&gt;///&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;"&gt;¡Feliz comienzo del 2011!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Chiqui&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2999707754984419790-2199164186475573416?l=andreinaromero.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andreinaromero.blogspot.com/feeds/2199164186475573416/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2999707754984419790&amp;postID=2199164186475573416' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2999707754984419790/posts/default/2199164186475573416'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2999707754984419790/posts/default/2199164186475573416'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andreinaromero.blogspot.com/2011/01/y-en-lo-que-va-de-ano.html' title='Y en lo que va de año...'/><author><name>Chiqui</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01091373600396632732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/S0-xs3vA0QI/AAAAAAAAAUw/YuyA6FfM_wo/S220/chiqui.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/TR_KyRoSYjI/AAAAAAAAAew/kIxZKeiLcj0/s72-c/DSC00451+-+2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999707754984419790.post-3643684733223173850</id><published>2010-12-31T23:15:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-01-02T06:09:34.550+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='my life so far'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='travel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='learning'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='it happened to me'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='English'/><title type='text'>YET...</title><content type='html'>A lot of people complain about 2010 and they want it to end fast...me, in these last minutes, I just want to share with you that 2010 couldn't have been better.

line-height: 115%;"&gt;Mi madre y yo nunca nos llevamos bien. Quizá por el simple hecho de aquella voz de&amp;nbsp;independencia fingida y sus eternos consejos mutilados por el temor de la voz de su padre; ese abuelo a quien nunca llegué a conocer por causa de la gripe eterna que lo encerró en su cuarto hasta el día de su ocaso, estando yo muy pequeña. Tan pequeña que aquella silla de la cocina, donde Teresita posaba su rabote para pelar las papas, me parecía tan alta como la mata de mangos que solía escalar por etapas. Tan pequeña, que aquella Hacienda me parecía muy grande.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"&gt;…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"&gt;En el fondo yo siempre lo quise, con sus botas, con su ronca voz y su aliento a caña.

Fue una de las pocas cosas que le supe agradecer; silente, sí, pero lo hice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;Siempre soñé con que la suerte me iba a tocar algún día bajo la almohada, como las historias de Doña Ernestina acerca del ratón que se llevaba los dientes y que vino a visitarme más seguido de lo normal y nunca me los devolvió. Maldito ratón. Nunca me dejó nada más que dos huecos en mi dentadura y un poco de dientes nuevos que no tardaron en opacarse y carearse y&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;causarme un inmenso dolor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"&gt;...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Mi hermana Jacinta, que aún era muy chica el día en que olvidé apagar la luz, siempre estuvo protegida por las faldas de mi madre. Qué suerte tuvo de haber nacido Aries, en aquel abril luego de la revolución. Ella no entendía nada; su cabeza de 6 años de edad se conformaba con las chupetas que Doña Ernestina le traía (si sobraban) de las piñatas de cualquiera de las hijas del Alcalde Arismendi, quienes cumplían años tan seguido como meses tenía el verano en el Caribe. A ella el ratón Pérez sí que le dejaba cosas bajo su almohada, revistas de vestidos de las Europas, caramelos de tres colores y collares de perlas plásticas. Vivía en una burbuja, apartada de la cochina realidad que vivíamos el resto de los empleados en la Hacienda Carapinta, que se encontraba más allá del kilómetro 46 y medio contados a pie desde el mero centro de San José de los Palotes, aquella ciudad de la que siempre escuchábamos hablar de carros y edificaciones de más de dos pisos. “Una ciudad del futuro”, como le llamaba mi madre quien, 10 años más tarde en su lecho de muerte, me confesó no haber pisado jamás.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;

Las semillas de mis dudas germinan; la angustia crece; mis anhelos se multiplican y ahí te veo…&lt;strong&gt;inmóvil&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;taciturno&lt;/strong&gt;… sin decir nada, con las lágrimas envejeciendo instantáneamente entre esos tus ojos, tan profundos, tan inevitables, tan &lt;strong&gt;nocturnos&lt;/strong&gt;, tan deslumbrantes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;La aspereza del viento desgarra las palmas de mis manos.

Las aves de tus temores baten sus alas incesantemente y un huracán de &lt;em&gt;polvo de estrellas&lt;/em&gt; nos envuelve. El campo del amor deja la mala yerba crecer…y el tiempo no concibe más que hacer sus arenas &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;danzar&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, una y otra vez, mientras se pregunta

style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"&gt;“Treinta y siete años” – dije.

Ya suficiente hube de tener en los interminables días viviendo en la Hacienda el día que olvidé apagar la luz.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"&gt;Poco tardé en empezar&amp;nbsp; una competencia entre las torres altísimas de pañuelos a ver cuál caía primero. “Si estos pañuelos hablaran…” – pensé – “…seguro se quejarían conmigo sobre los seguidos catarros que le acontecían a Lucía y Andrés”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"&gt;De verdad que esos niños bien merecido se tenían el apodo de mocosos pues desde su nacimiento, separado por tan solo 10 segundos, no habían salido de una sola enfermedad. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"&gt;Gumersinda, la partera, siempre decía que ese era el destino de los sietemesinos, “no hay sietemesino saludable ni feo que yo haya visto nacer en este pueblo” y a su octogenario repertorio de años había que creerle. Sobre todo porque a pesar de bien acatarrados, con rubeola, lechina y cualquier otra fiebre de rutina no perdían ese encanto particular que a cualquier abuelita sandunga le quitaba el aliento haciéndole extender sus pulgares de uñas escarlatas con lunita plateada,que daban espacio a unas cutículas tan gruesas como su trasero y su edad, para proceder a pellizcarles las mejillas mientras con nariz arrugada y ceño fruncido repetían alguna frase como “es que son tan monos”, “ay, mírenlos tan bonitos” o “cuando crezcan serán un atraco”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"&gt;Quizá eso hubiese preferido la señora Rodríguez, que esos mellizos se convirtieran en un verdadero atraco, pues desde que empezaron a juntarse con la banda de traficantes de cambures manzanos, 7 años luego de la caída del gobierno del General Domínguez, no hacían otra cosa que traer más catarros y cualquier otra clase de nuevas enfermedades a la casa.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"&gt;“Estoy loca porque esos tripones cumplan la mayoría de edad y se larguen de esta casa” – repetía Doña Cecilia cada vez que la veía probarse cualquier otra prenda íntima o vestido de fiesta de la Sra. Rodríguez. “¿Cómo me queda este Clotildita?” – se dirigió a mí con un brillo en los ojos que no había visto desde que andaba de amoríos con el celador&amp;nbsp; de la alcaldía.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"&gt;“¿Usté como que va de parranda?” le pregunté con curiosidad pues aquello de llamarme Clotildita no ocurría así como de gratis nada más.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"&gt;“No se responde una pregunta con otra pregunta Clotilde. Sigue así y seguirás siendo lo que eres, una cachifa bruta, sonámbula y soltera. No seas tan metiche y dime cómo me queda este vestido.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"&gt;Poco me importaban sus palabras. Nada podía ser peor que los días en la Hacienda Carapinta. “Bien” le repliqué sin mayor entusiasmo. De igual manera sabía que toda la información saldría de su propia boca pues por más que me criticase sabía que nadie más se iba a calar sus interminables halagos hacia sí misma.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"&gt;“Ay Cloti no seas tan seca. Si este no me queda bien me voy a tener que poner el traje de lentejuelas rojas; tengo que lucir despampanante, pues los holandeses han llegado hoy y esta vez no me puedo perder la oportunidad de pescar a alguno que me saque de esta pensión y me lleve a recorrer el mundo en sus grandes barcos.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"&gt;A veces no sabía si la señorita Cecilia sufría más de aquel mal de soñar despierta que yo.

Yo la había descubierto la tarde anterior, cuando estaba colocando las camisas planchadas en los armarios, y ella me pidió, en estricta confidencia y a cambio de un libro de filosofía griega que yo tanto admiraba, que no le contara nada a nadie pues si su madre se enteraba que iba a encontrarse con el joven Alexander (como todos los diciembres desde que la mafia rusa decidió crear un parque de diversiones en las ferias del pueblo) la iba a dejar encerrada de por vida en el sótano.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"&gt;A mí poco me importó ni lo uno ni lo otro; prefería, sí, que la señorita Cecilia no se enterara de las aventuras soviéticas de la niña Lucía pero en verdad lo que quería era que terminara de largarse del cuarto y me dejara a solas para continuar lo que me había propuesto varias noches atrás cuando el incidente del espejo me despertó de mi alucinación.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;///&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Chiqui&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2999707754984419790-7528722047314123136?l=andreinaromero.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andreinaromero.blogspot.com/feeds/7528722047314123136/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2999707754984419790&amp;postID=7528722047314123136' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2999707754984419790/posts/default/7528722047314123136'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2999707754984419790/posts/default/7528722047314123136'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andreinaromero.blogspot.com/2010/08/al-apagar-la-luz-capitulo-ii.html' title='&quot;Al Apagar La Luz&quot; - Capítulo II'/><author><name>Chiqui</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01091373600396632732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/S0-xs3vA0QI/AAAAAAAAAUw/YuyA6FfM_wo/S220/chiqui.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/TGhs8Ni0JcI/AAAAAAAAAbo/_kZ9Y2aTdRg/s72-c/al+apagar+la+luz+3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999707754984419790.post-4234587672165954266</id><published>2010-07-09T02:09:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-07-09T02:09:10.199+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sensualidad'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='yo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='magia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='besos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sueños'/><title type='text'>Como por arte de magia</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/TDZm5kCG7CI/AAAAAAAAAbY/dsBOIaVHji8/s1600/CIMG4741.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/TDZm5kCG7CI/AAAAAAAAAbY/dsBOIaVHji8/s400/CIMG4741.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Picture taken by Chiqui @ De Kaag, NL - 04.07-2010&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Te vi&lt;/i&gt;.

I like its &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;"&gt;taste &lt;/span&gt;and I might steal a sip from your coffee every now and then...but it gives me too much energy...&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;you should be aware&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;I don't like people drinking from my glasses unless I offer it...it could be the reason for me throwing a drink down the drain. &lt;b&gt;I don't like by any chance people using my toothbrush --&amp;gt; this has no exception&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;When I look at my watch...wait a minute...I never use a watch...it's not that I don't like them...I just don't seem to keep them working for long time...they either stop or break. So...when I look at someone else's watch or just when I look at the time and it's something funny like 12:34 or 21:12 or 01:34 I yell &lt;i&gt;"make a wish"&lt;/i&gt;.

I am moody and I become a &lt;s&gt;&lt;b&gt;monster &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/s&gt;if I don't eat. I probably don't announce when I'm reaching the level of 20% (80% monster, 20% human) but you'll know because I start talking only about food. When I reach a level of 5% and we're not heading to or at a restaurant/kitchen/you-name-the-place-with-food: &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;RUN&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;I’m addicted to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;chocolate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;b&gt;Dark chocolate &lt;/b&gt;is my favorite one… actually the darker the better.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;I eat cold food when I'm supposed to warm it up if I'm hungry. There is no exception; in fact, I love to eat &lt;u&gt;cold pizza&lt;/u&gt;. Even better if it is from the day before, but this has a particularity, it has to be cold from the fridge. I actually save a little piece of my pizza when I make it or order delivery, just to put it in the fridge and eat it the following day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;I sleep on a king size bed and I only use one little space of it…right at the right end of it. The rest of the bed is always occupied by many men…in fact…many men at the same time, I barely sleep without them; the last ones sleeping on it are: Stieg Larson,&amp;nbsp;Jim Morrison, Carlos Ruiz Zafón and Yann Martel…but the actual man that always lies close to my pillow is the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;Little Prince&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. I read a lot. I collect books. If I enter a library I feel like I'm in Disneyland. I can stay there for hours without complain or until my human level reaches 2%. No joke.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;I'm always wondering; I lose concentration in conversations very easily and start &lt;u&gt;daydreaming&lt;/u&gt;. I have a terrible memory and people tell me a lot of secrets. Things I don't even want to know. They still tell me so...but I forget anyways.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;I don't like planning. So if I ever do...I stick to it. I don't like to set appointments with many days in advance and even less fixing a whole schedule. I like being free in the choices and always keep a secret Plan B or Z (coming from the girl with no plans).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;I'm scared of knives, razors and everything that cuts. I can’t live without my iPod. It’s a him. It’s called…&lt;i&gt;just iPod&lt;/i&gt;…and I take it to work every day and since it’s getting old I always have to carry with the cable wherever I go to charge its battery. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;I sleep with the doors open....just in case the monsters under my bed come out then I have where to run...(because of course I run faster than them). Sometimes I imagine that If I'm alone at home, the worst thing would be that&amp;nbsp;I get locked inside the bathroom and that I die of starvation because my music is too loud and nobody would hear me since 5000 songs in my iPod would play for a couple of days in a row...so I don't close any door.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;By the way…where’s my iPod?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;To be continued...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2999707754984419790-5236008602686766383?l=andreinaromero.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andreinaromero.blogspot.com/feeds/5236008602686766383/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2999707754984419790&amp;postID=5236008602686766383' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2999707754984419790/posts/default/5236008602686766383'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2999707754984419790/posts/default/5236008602686766383'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andreinaromero.blogspot.com/2010/06/exposed.html' title='Exposed...'/><author><name>Chiqui</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01091373600396632732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/S0-xs3vA0QI/AAAAAAAAAUw/YuyA6FfM_wo/S220/chiqui.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/TCFI64ko6oI/AAAAAAAAAaw/0wDUO0XLKSw/s72-c/CIMG3832+-+cropped+2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999707754984419790.post-2998526436147424313</id><published>2010-06-21T01:06:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2010-06-21T01:07:22.972+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='yo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='my life so far'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='English'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='confessing'/><title type='text'>Something to declare...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/TB6bhzeTKaI/AAAAAAAAAao/a2SnRSJjQ-s/s1600/CIMG3710-cropped.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/TB6bhzeTKaI/AAAAAAAAAao/a2SnRSJjQ-s/s320/CIMG3710-cropped.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Picture taken @ Las Ramblas, Barcelona - 15/05/2010&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small;"&gt;I like to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;eat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.

When I feel like I'm having a lot of fun with a guy, that everything's going right, &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;I run away and hide&lt;/span&gt;. Always have...&lt;s&gt;I confess I'm just scared to get hurt again&lt;/s&gt;. I &lt;i&gt;flirt &lt;/i&gt;a lot. I normally never mean to do it; it just happens.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;I like my own space&lt;/b&gt;. I like my own time and my &lt;i&gt;own rules&lt;/i&gt;. I don't like walking with shoes inside of my bathroom and I hate stepping into a wet spot wearing socks. I'm &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;germophobic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, wear gloves to do the &lt;s&gt;dishes &lt;/s&gt;and I really hate doing the dishes, it works like&amp;nbsp;kryptonite on my powers, &amp;nbsp;so I normally pile them up until I find some time/strength to do it.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;I like to sing&lt;/u&gt;. I like to sing a lot &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;even when I don't do it right&lt;/span&gt;...I enjoy singing out loud with the music at &lt;b&gt;intolerable volume&lt;/b&gt; on a lazy morning or an early afternoon; especially if I have to do the dishes. Some days I believe I’m Janis Joplin and some others Shakira, especially when I sing in the shower (and spill the gel). I make &lt;b&gt;bad &lt;/b&gt;jokes...&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;and I laugh at them&lt;/span&gt;. I'm definitely &lt;u&gt;not a morning person&lt;/u&gt;. I am a sex in the morning person.

I believe I somehow was part of the &lt;b&gt;Babel tower event&lt;/b&gt;...only that I hid very well; watched everything from my own corner, got hit by lighting and disappeared in a sigh. In the meanwhile, I was wandering in outer space where I met the &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Little Prince&lt;/span&gt;. I came back to Earth in 1983 and &lt;b&gt;I'm still 25&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;although my soul is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;1301 years old&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;When it's &lt;i&gt;raining &lt;/i&gt;and I'm at home and it's a &lt;i&gt;Sunday &lt;/i&gt;and I have nothing to do...it is ok. When it's raining and I have &lt;b&gt;someone to hug&lt;/b&gt;…it's &lt;b&gt;better&lt;/b&gt;; it doesn't matter what day of the year it is and if I have something else to do. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Hugging &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;is always (and there is no discussion about always)&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;priority 1&lt;/b&gt;. Kisses are priority 1 1/3. I like kisses. I love kissing and &lt;b&gt;I adore being kissed&lt;/b&gt;...but hugs can definitely melt me down.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;I have many (did I say many?) &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;friends&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. Friends that I consider as siblings, we travel and get drunk together. We even sleep in the same bed if necessary &lt;b&gt;and we're still friends&lt;/b&gt;....there is not such a thing as bad friends for me so I don't go with grays on this. &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;If I like you, I like you; but I don't want to be your friend, I have too many and it would make things more complicated than what it already is. I already exceeded my friend's quota today&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;I &lt;b&gt;love the &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;stars&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;...and I wish I could see them from the Netherlands. Somehow I get marveled when I travel and I get to see them again...&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;I probably won't tell you but when I look at them I make a wish&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"&gt;...to be continued.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2999707754984419790-2998526436147424313?l=andreinaromero.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andreinaromero.blogspot.com/feeds/2998526436147424313/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2999707754984419790&amp;postID=2998526436147424313' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2999707754984419790/posts/default/2998526436147424313'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2999707754984419790/posts/default/2998526436147424313'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andreinaromero.blogspot.com/2010/06/something-to-declare.html' title='Something to declare...'/><author><name>Chiqui</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01091373600396632732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/S0-xs3vA0QI/AAAAAAAAAUw/YuyA6FfM_wo/S220/chiqui.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/TB6bhzeTKaI/AAAAAAAAAao/a2SnRSJjQ-s/s72-c/CIMG3710-cropped.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999707754984419790.post-6111825292557503009</id><published>2010-06-18T01:19:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2010-08-31T12:11:25.781+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cortos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='locuras'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fiction'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Español'/><title type='text'>En el Alba del Omega</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/TBqsh413IPI/AAAAAAAAAag/Fe2T7WO3wtA/s1600/CIMG3627.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/TBqsh413IPI/AAAAAAAAAag/Fe2T7WO3wtA/s320/CIMG3627.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Picture taken at Chupitos bar in Barcelona - 14/05/2010&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;"&lt;b&gt;...me encanta leer tus palabras&lt;/b&gt;" - dijo él.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;Ella, invadida por los celos, esperó a que la noche cayera y en vela lo contempló hasta pocos minutos antes del &lt;i&gt;alba&lt;/i&gt;; le besó detrás del cuello, se vistió de mallas negras y se colocó los guantes... uno a uno.

Debajo de la pancita tiene un botón apretado como un ombligo, si se lo quita deja escapar todas los centavitos.

Toma tu kilo de gomitas. Esta vez te las daré de fiado. Te ayudarán a que tu corazón vuelva a latir. Pero &amp;nbsp;es momentáneo. Pasará. No olvides que las niñas son así, ellas no juegan con G.I Joes y siempre prefieren besar sapos antes que cualquier otra cosa. No tienen la culpa, es lo que han aprendido desde siempre: pierden el tiempo inútilmente esperando que esos &lt;b&gt;sapos &lt;/b&gt;se conviertan en &lt;b&gt;príncipes &lt;/b&gt;y dejen de croar, mientras que los niños como tú quienes les regalan flores, se &lt;b&gt;indigestan &lt;/b&gt;con &lt;i&gt;gomitas para olvidar&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;¿Usted dice que &lt;b&gt;esto &lt;/b&gt;va a pasar?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Claro que sí chiquillo.

He went back to the bar, bought another beer without taking his eyes from that little crowd, looked around, took two big sips and sat in the stool behind hers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Consolas;"&gt;She noticed him, not only because she felt his grey eyes burning a hole on her neck on his first attempt, but also because her friends giggled when they realized he was pushing his head back to try to listen to their conversation (or at least that’s what she claims)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Consolas;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Consolas;"&gt;She turned around and asked him “do you speak Spanish?” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Consolas;"&gt;He said “No; are you Spanish?” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Consolas;"&gt;Her friends all smiled and headed to the bar. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Consolas;"&gt;“No” – she replied.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Consolas;"&gt;“Latina?” -&amp;nbsp; He insisted with a grin that covered his whole face.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Consolas;"&gt;She muted, took a sip of her wine and with a little smile shook her head.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Consolas;"&gt;“Were you speaking Spanish?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Consolas;"&gt;“No” – one more sip.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Consolas;"&gt;“Do you speak Spanish at all?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Consolas;"&gt;“Actually...” - short sip joined by a wink -&amp;nbsp;“...not”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Consolas;"&gt;“Then why you asked me if I did?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Consolas;"&gt;“I was hoping you could teach me some”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Consolas;"&gt;And so it all started. Both laughed when she said she was Rumanian.

Fingiría un maremoto con un movimiento leve como un estornudo y sonreiría y flotaría relajadamente al estar bajo el sol.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Pero a veces me imaginaba ser un refresco y entonces sentía estar encerrada en una botella con una chapa como gorrito y lo único que deseaba es que alguien me batiera fuertemente para poder escapar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;En esos momentos me daba cuenta que en verdad no quería ser líquido pues ese poco de burbujas me producirían muchas cosquillas al salir y pues también sería muy difícil lograr escapar de las bolitas de cristal de esas que la abuelita de Alejandra coleccionaba y que nosotras siempre agitábamos para ver como volaban las gaviotas sobre Venecia o cómo caía la nieve sobre alguna nariz de zanahoria en Nueva York.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Pero mi maestra de segundo grado me enseñó también que existían los sólidos. Me decía que eran aquellos objetos que no cambiaban su forma de manera natural y no dependían del envase que los contenía, como los árboles, como las pelotas, como la mesa en la que escribíamos o como todo lo que tocábamos en el salón de clases.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Para mí eran los menos favoritos. Si hubiese tenido que ser un sólido quizá hubiese sido plastilina, para que así al menos pudiera convertirme en muchos sólidos a la vez entre las manos de mis compañeros de clase. Sería una plastilina verde primero, y luego me uniría a una azul, le añadiría algunos toques de naranja y finalizaría con unas porciones de rojo. Pero mi maestra me dijo que esos sólidos eran complicados y que era algo que me iban a enseñar en los próximos años. Ahí supe que ni siquiera me interesaba ser sólido. Además que aun siendo plastilina, al final del día de cole terminaría siendo una bola dura y gris en manos de mis amigos y olvidada en una silla o detrás de la puerta del salón. Muy triste. Menos mal que no lo elegía.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Cuando la maestra empezó a hablar de los gases, supe lo que quería ser. Quería ser el aire, sí; siempre quise volar. Ella nos decía que los gases eran grandotes, más que el agua de las piscinas. Que también tomaban la forma del envase que los contenía pero que siempre se lograban escapar poquito a poco a través de alguna ranura. Entonces empezaba a soñar y sentirme como el aire, como el viento, como esa gran masa de una cosa invisible y fría cuando corre rápido para llegar a casa y lenta y pesadota cuando está calentita muy cerca de la playa donde no se escuchan más que gaviotas y veleros y algún perro juguetón hace salir a niños y cangrejos de sus escondites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Además siendo aire podría rozar las mejillas de los sólidos, cargar algunas gotitas de agua bajo los arcoíris cuando lloviera y viajaría de Norte a Sur, de Este a Oeste por muchos lugares sobre la Tierra…y seguro que con suerte llegaría hasta el espacio y visitaría hasta algunos asteroides, transportaría el olor de las flores, arrastraría plumas y susurraría en los oídos de los enamorados y cuando me sintiese muy cansada me encerraría en un globo y me dejaría llevar de las manos de algún niño travieso o formaría parte de algún regalo de cumpleaños.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Todavía recuerdo ese momento en el que la maestra me llamó dos veces, por mi nombre y mis dos apellidos, me preguntó si tenía todo en mi bulto: lápiz, borrador, sacapuntas, cuaderno doble línea y la hojita con la tarea; también chequeaba mi lonchera para ver si me había comido el cambur y si me había tomado la otra mitad del jugo de parchita; revisaba si tenía engrapada la circular en mi muñeca derecha y me preguntaba qué había aprendido en el día. Yo sonreía y le decía que había aprendido que por más divertido que pudiese ser estar en una piscina todo el día y caer del cielo en forma de gotitas, y por más que me pudiese convertir en un espejo para hasta parecerme a la gente grande, nada lo cambiaría por haber aprendido a que siendo aire se podía volar a muchos sitios del mundo. En ese momento ella sonrió, me dio una palmadita en mi hombro izquierdo y guiñando su ojo me dijo “muy bien muchachita, ya sabes los estados de la materia; pero ahora es hora de despertar pues tu mami te ha venido a buscar”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;No me extraña el porqué mi mami decía que a veces lloraba, bue...pataleaba,&amp;nbsp;cuando me iba a recoger al colegio. Me recibía con un apurruño y un beso y me preguntaba qué había aprendido. A lo cual respondía repitiendo la misma historia deseando que se hiciera realidad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Hoy, muchos años más tarde, me doy cuenta que, tal como lo soñé, soy tan libre como el viento y que he viajado a muchos pueblos y susurrado en muchos oídos…pero lo que realmente estoy soñando desde este rincón es volver a ese salón de segundo grado y jugar con plastilina hasta hacer bolas grises, mojarme bajo la lluvia, correr con mis amiguitos y dibujar arcoíris hasta que la tarde se acabara y mi mami me recibiera con la misma pregunta “Chiquita, ¿qué has aprendido hoy?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;-Chiqui&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2999707754984419790-9006810630561403971?l=andreinaromero.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andreinaromero.blogspot.com/feeds/9006810630561403971/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2999707754984419790&amp;postID=9006810630561403971' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2999707754984419790/posts/default/9006810630561403971'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2999707754984419790/posts/default/9006810630561403971'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andreinaromero.blogspot.com/2010/05/cambio-de-estado.html' title='Cambio de Estado'/><author><name>Chiqui</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01091373600396632732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/S0-xs3vA0QI/AAAAAAAAAUw/YuyA6FfM_wo/S220/chiqui.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/S-NWsqgU-mI/AAAAAAAAAX4/ZfHceIbpFrU/s72-c/Foto0404.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999707754984419790.post-2691175424719342951</id><published>2010-04-27T01:46:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-04-27T01:46:17.227+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gypsy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='English'/><title type='text'>Next Stop</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/S9YlPH9G76I/AAAAAAAAAXw/AGoMfjD-bmo/s1600/Foto0702.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/S9YlPH9G76I/AAAAAAAAAXw/AGoMfjD-bmo/s320/Foto0702.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Of all the things I’m always amused of when I travel by train is the coincidence of always choosing the seat that makes me go riding backwards. Sometimes I wonder if the unconscious me tries to tell me something or if I really enjoy the feeling of watching everything I’m leaving behind. It’s like a slow motion movie of my life winding back. Every day; the same places looking different from a different seat, from a different window, from a different height.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;i&gt;It’s not the first time I consider myself to be running away from something; or someone. It’s hard nowadays to get me attached to anything. I guess it’s the price I pay for being a gypsy in the whole sense of the word. It’s not just an oddity that I always have a suitcase ready with the essentials to any kind of trip, yes,&amp;nbsp; that is a tooth brush, passport, a good book, a swimming suit, a sweater, some Band-Aids, chocolate and yes, of course, an eyebrow’s tweezers, after all, I’m still a girl. ‘Always ready’, as a girl scout, that’s my motto (or at least that’s what my wise mom says). Not caring what I’m leaving behind, just where I’m heading to – that’s what I think. ‘Determination!’ Um-hum, that’s what I heard that old man say to me once while queuing in a bank &amp;nbsp;just to get my last statements ready for the next destination.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I can still taste the voices of my friends; I can still smell my excitement of embarking in a new adventure. I can still feel the tears of my beloved ones rolling down against my cheeks, so cold and yet so warm inside. My family, my siblings from another parents, my streets, my shopping malls, my trees, the mountain that said hi to me every morning and every evening before going to sleep, right before checking my last emails and going thru the last text messages on my mobile; the sound of the late night drivers, the wandering lonely souls, the big time partygoers or even the early workers. All: familiar lullabies to my dreams.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I wonder when I’ll realize it’s all left behind. At least I know it’s a decision made, on the right time, and I’d dare to say even the right place. Perhaps I like to watch it all passing thru my window, right in front of me, and meticulously take a mental picture of it. Like the daily pursue of something I haven’t got yet, I know it’s hard to understand, but I’m getting there; like the carrot in front of my eyes, it’s automagically happening, I’m moving forward and watching the past beside me, smiling at me, teaching me the little things I overrated before, vanish into the grin of an unfamiliar face. At the end I know where I’m going. Or at least I know where I want to be. Everyday I’m getting closer to it, I can feel &lt;/i&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;i&gt;it&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;i&gt;. I see, I remember, I move on. Maybe riding backwards in a train is not such a bad thing anyways; it gives me the feeling of doing it again, and again, and again. Next time it’ll be different. Next time I’ll look the other way. Next stop is near I fear; next stop is getting clear; next stop is where I get out… next stop is home.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2999707754984419790-2691175424719342951?l=andreinaromero.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andreinaromero.blogspot.com/feeds/2691175424719342951/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2999707754984419790&amp;postID=2691175424719342951' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2999707754984419790/posts/default/2691175424719342951'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2999707754984419790/posts/default/2691175424719342951'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andreinaromero.blogspot.com/2010/04/next-stop.html' title='Next Stop'/><author><name>Chiqui</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01091373600396632732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/S0-xs3vA0QI/AAAAAAAAAUw/YuyA6FfM_wo/S220/chiqui.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/S9YlPH9G76I/AAAAAAAAAXw/AGoMfjD-bmo/s72-c/Foto0702.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999707754984419790.post-2055140910279618680</id><published>2010-03-28T03:53:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2010-05-07T11:42:09.145+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='días'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='magia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Amsterdam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Español'/><title type='text'>I AMsterdam</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/S6608BtXqtI/AAAAAAAAAXM/IzmYmQUTYlE/s1600/Foto0692.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/S6608BtXqtI/AAAAAAAAAXM/IzmYmQUTYlE/s400/Foto0692.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Picture taken @ Rembrandtplein, Amsterdam (Feb 20th, 2010)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Hoy abrí las ventanas y saqué mi cabeza.

Me puse a escuchar música mientras leía Re-tweets de @Calle13Oficial. Que si el gobierno, que si el concierto que quién jala más y quien chupa menos. De pronto se me prendió el cerebro. Tengo que ir a buscar la cartera de mi hermana putativa de Bélgica en Utrecht. Nunca he ido a Utrecht. ¡Qué fastidio! tengo de salir de la casa. No soporto a Ricardo Arjona. A ese sí que deberían censurarle las canciones. Es un quejón. Se queja más que camión de cochino, como diría mi hermano Fer. Extraño a mí hermano Fer. Quizá un día de estos me visite. Está haciendo frío. Tengo que escribir en la novela. Tengo que escribir la novela. Está sonando Michael Bublé. Él es mi novio, pero no lo sabe. Sí, Thom Yorke también es mi novio, y sí lo sabe lo que pasa es que no se ha dado cuenta. ¿Qué?! ¿Selena en mi iTunes? Dios, esto es lo que realmente se conoce como un shuffle shame. Debería borrar las canciones que están repetidas porque “no se encuentra su ubicación”. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;Las arepas necesitan ser volteadas “…I could fall in love with you…” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;¿podría? Creo que me estoy volviendo loca, ayer soñé que un viejo amigo me pedía disculpas por haber despreciado y olvidado mi desinteresada amistad. Yo sólo le dije que no quería hablar del tema y que estaba todo olvidado ya. Enseguida hice una broma al respecto y ambos reímos. Lo más cómico fue que me desperté con una sonrisa. ¿Qué es esto? ¿Una especie de Diario? Yo nunca llevé un diario. El mundo está perdido. Todo es culpa de la gripe porcina. ¿O de México? Los mexicanos son buenos cuates pero a veces se pasan de brutos. Si no cambio esta canción me va a dar algo. ¿Quién metió esta canción en mi computadora? Patético. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;“You can go your own way!” Me encanta Fleetwood Mac.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

font-family: Georgia; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;I used to like helping my friends study when I was at school; then at the university; later enjoyed giving out explanations to some of my colleagues at work; and some other times I liked helping out friends with advices on their own life. I even started teaching my parents (don't tell me you didn't have to instruct them on how to turn on the computer more than once) and, I got to be honest, strangers too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: white; margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: white; margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: Georgia; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;I thought that the satisfaction of watching some of my 'students' succeed was rewarding enough and then I started to speculate on why I couldn't give such good advices for myself too. The answer, I did not succeed to find it yet, lies in the fact that maybe I'm not just as good teacher material as I thought I was or perhaps that I just like a bit of failure once in a while; but the truth is that I never stopped trying to teach anything [and I mean anything I know and don’t know] to whomever I ran into.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: white; margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: white; margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: Georgia; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;A couple of rainy days ago, after missing some trains, some phone calls and particularly missing an umbrella inside of my purse, I was coming back from work (to what I would later call a shopping assault) when this scene reminded me once again why I didn't master my abilities to educate others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: white; margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: white; margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: Georgia; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;As some of you may know, the streets of Amsterdam’s centre are ruled by mad bikers and trams.

"&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-size:12pt;color:black;"&gt;Con dos fuertes giros en su débil y cansado brazo derecho lanzó una soga de esas que utilizan los gauchos de la pampa y luego de ciento treinta y ocho intentos logró ensartarla como una aguja de coser zapatos; y a la cuenta del un, dos, tres pegó un salto de rana y se fue, dejando a su sombra de testigo, para contarle al mundo lo que le había sucedido y el porqué del inesperado y repentino viaje nubístico hacia el Sur.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: normal; "&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-size:12pt;color:black;"&gt;"Son cosas del deporte" dijo la Sombra de Andreína.

Antes de volver a su faena en el abastico de la vida decidieron esperar, sentaditos por si alguna otra oferta aparecía en el pasillo 3, a que cayera la tarde de un lunes pesadote, como diez costillas de rinoceronte, que todavía estaba bien alto mostrando en su torso de mediodía las marcas de las sábanas de un fin de semana agitado como una licuadora Oster del ‘56.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: normal;

Mis pupilas se han secado y mi sonrisa consiguió un nueve a cinco del cual se ha aburrido por convicción.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Consolas;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;El otro día&lt;/i&gt; creí sentir tu piel. Fue un sueño dulce con un &lt;b&gt;amargo&lt;/b&gt; despertar. Quise cerrar los ojos para volver a fantasear sobre instintos luminosos y crear excusas para verte, para escucharte hablar sobre tus planes y proyectos para luego reír por no prestarte atención.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Consolas;"&gt;Despertar. Otro día más. Nadar entre en un tren de gente sin movimiento ni destino. Girar en un &lt;b&gt;espiral&lt;/b&gt; sin fin que alguna gente suele llamar rutina y que yo prefiero llamar &lt;b&gt;soledad&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Consolas;"&gt;Entre los témpanos de mi lecho y los ecos de una ciudad en alborada me sentí una criatura mágica entre la órbita de tus reminiscencias. Lejos de tu cuerpo pero cerca de tu &lt;i&gt;imaginación&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Consolas;"&gt;Como la miel a la abeja me profesé forzada a inmortalizarte en mi memoria como el más adicto &lt;i&gt;poeta maldito&lt;/i&gt; que alguna vez decidió enfrentarse a declamar frente a una &lt;b&gt;sirena sin voz&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2999707754984419790-5425892437563255058?l=andreinaromero.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andreinaromero.blogspot.com/feeds/5425892437563255058/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2999707754984419790&amp;postID=5425892437563255058' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2999707754984419790/posts/default/5425892437563255058'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2999707754984419790/posts/default/5425892437563255058'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andreinaromero.blogspot.com/2009/09/amor-en-espiral.html' title='Amor en espiral'/><author><name>Chiqui</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01091373600396632732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/S0-xs3vA0QI/AAAAAAAAAUw/YuyA6FfM_wo/S220/chiqui.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/SqQ0karJmzI/AAAAAAAAAS0/aHefE6mPMd8/s72-c/sleepy-moon.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999707754984419790.post-489149255767685984</id><published>2009-09-03T00:13:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2009-09-03T00:40:05.057+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='yo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='y yo me pregunto...'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='English'/><title type='text'>Qui-est-ce-ton Mark</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/Sp7zRsji2dI/AAAAAAAAAR8/oEd46p97oqs/s1600-h/Foto2090.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

I really looked. I truly did.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"   style="line-height:115%; mso-ansi-language:EN-USfont-family:Consolas;font-size:14.0pt;"&gt;I looked up to the sky and the clouds were higher than usual, so high that I even thought to be seeing the outer space flashing thru them.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"   style="line-height:115%; mso-ansi-language:EN-USfont-family:Consolas;font-size:14.0pt;"&gt;I faced down to the ground and all the seeds started to shake.

North, South, East, West and in between. I rolled, I jumped, I blinked and waived and still no sign of you.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"   style="line-height:115%; mso-ansi-language:EN-USfont-family:Consolas;font-size:14.0pt;"&gt;I couldn’t even find my own way.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"   style="line-height:115%; mso-ansi-language:EN-USfont-family:Consolas;font-size:14.0pt;"&gt;I sat down and cried.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"   style="line-height:115%; mso-ansi-language:EN-USfont-family:Consolas;font-size:14.0pt;"&gt;It must be true what people say: lovers are always lost.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"  style=" line-height:115%;mso-ansi-language:EN-USfont-size:14.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2999707754984419790-2406747629653962842?l=andreinaromero.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andreinaromero.blogspot.com/feeds/2406747629653962842/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2999707754984419790&amp;postID=2406747629653962842' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2999707754984419790/posts/default/2406747629653962842'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2999707754984419790/posts/default/2406747629653962842'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andreinaromero.blogspot.com/2009/08/know-where.html' title='In the middle of Know-where'/><author><name>Chiqui</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01091373600396632732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/S0-xs3vA0QI/AAAAAAAAAUw/YuyA6FfM_wo/S220/chiqui.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/SpxMNCay_7I/AAAAAAAAAR0/ibrKLa_xVkg/s72-c/1460+cropped.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999707754984419790.post-7874427609068337095</id><published>2009-08-30T12:35:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2009-08-30T13:50:15.453+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Friday'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fun'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='English'/><title type='text'>Philosophical Friday</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/SppnFyHRhEI/AAAAAAAAARc/FtkflZYpCI0/s1600-h/casual+friday.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 231px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/SppnFyHRhEI/AAAAAAAAARc/FtkflZYpCI0/s320/casual+friday.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375722454269396034" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style=" border-collapse: collapse;  font-family:arial;font-size:13px;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, after a couple of Friday morning emails back and fwd with a remote guy...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Guy (G):  "What did you do to the weather?

In some places I am 5 and 1; and in some others 16088758. Right now I’m heading 33 but I wish to be at 4, and to be honest I am inside 167 on the 18 at 910. I’ve worn 248 and 243 but at the end I decided to go natural and stay at 003. I’ve used 212 but now I’m on #5 and I like it. Maybe in 12 I’ll be back to 2011 after 14 times here and there.

Now I have this: a present for a 5-9 years old girl who likes pink!&lt;p&gt;I think sheep is a beautiful animal... I&amp;#39;ve always wanted to hug one... But if I had a sheep...

(Read: after lunch)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Always the same steps are followed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Hi, nice to meet you” –&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Standard procedure:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hands are shaken. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Take/give the business card at the same time. (Look at the name that – of course – you both didn’t pay attention to)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Repeat the same with each one of the guests (even with the colleagues on your company that you didn’t see before, or worse, that you have seen and even sat together at lunch but never ask each others’ name)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sit down. Place the cards in the order of the owners’ chairs.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Excuse yourself for a coffee. Even if you don’t drink. You’ll need it. Take two, double strong.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;If there is an important meeting there will be cookies. Take as much as you can. Open them and put them in you coffee plate.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Wait for the important person that is always late.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Make a joke about how you should start without him/her. Grab your coffee. Sip. Look at the ceiling. Look at your watch. Sip again. Sigh. Look at the guest. Avoid eye contact. Look at the blue screen from the beamer which is showing, er, nothing. Sip again.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;The last person arrives.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Door closed.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;You sip again. Awkward silence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Good Afternoon” adds the last person who is casually the leader of the meeting. “Welcome”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chorus: “good afternoon”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Thanks for receiving us” the guest will always add. Or phrases like “thanks for the invitation” are likely to be heard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blablablablablabla&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is the 3rd time somebody asks me if I’m Spanish. Maybe I’m starting to look like them and my Latina charms are disappearing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Shall we do it in English?” – Someone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Don’t worry. Spanish is OK for me” – I add. Everybody laughs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;They love me&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everybody starts a “brief” introduction about themselves. The truth is everybody knows each other. But they also want to say something of what they do…blablabla.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaker (S): “Today is purely a technical meeting”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Well, and what other option do we have? Were you going to bring Play dough with you so we could make it practical?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;For the first time I made the whole meeting to be in English…of course I understand their language, but this time I don’t wanna lose any information. I want to put everybody on the same level of not speaking in their mother tongue. It will be easier for me to remember and understand what they say… besides, it will be slower…ouh! (double Homer’s “d’ouh!”)My own fault…didn’t think of that carefully…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S: “What is the technology available in the market?”… “This is something you have to do with partners”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;How to turn a boring meeting into something profitable for your life? Suckers… they all know. Instead they sit here…repeating like parrots…the same mistakes…the same lines…the same slides&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It’s a very profitable market!” he says. Everyone laughs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I don’t know what they laugh about. I think because they heard the word profitable. We all love these words where money is involved. Shit! Could they be listening to my thoughts? I’m not following anymore. I will laugh along. - I laughed along&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;My friend Suzanne will not believe this. This girl DID slide her finger around the coffee cup and took the…milk skin!!! She licked it from her finger…no joke. I have to tell her&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S: “It’s a mission impossible”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;wtf?! what did I miss?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S: “…so all experts know from experience”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Duh! I think that that is why they are called Experts…tell me something new, please&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Turn off the 2nd projector” – the other guy said to the sleepy one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;See? They are not present either …but thanks for doing that. It is distracting me …a little&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S: “… a client within to take part of the risk”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The projector shuts up. (Wow, I had forgotten how half-silence felt like)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there they go again. The slide with the shark. The finding Nemo shark. And the risks and blabla. And the hose and the investments and the reliability and the competitors…etc etc etc…maybe next time I give the presentation, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;S: “We are the party that put it in the market”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love it when they say this word. Party. I always imagine balloons and cake and piñatas when they say this. My mind is celebrating already. I’ll be 26 soon. There’s 1 ½ hour more to go in this meeting: Bye-bye balloon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S: “Being a partner in an operator phase” …“It’s close to contract people who have done it for many years”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yeah, right. Tell ME about it. Talk about me: The only experience I have been doing for many years is speaking, drinking, partying, writing and sleeping…ah yes…sometimes crying…and laughing too&lt;br /&gt;…&lt;br /&gt;Now he starts…wait… imitating? Alright: “What you DO know, what you DON’T know, what you know that you don’t know, what you don’t know that you don’t know…” bullshit…I just know me… and not quite. I ask my friends…can I use that know?? I’ll check my emails…mmm…I’ll wait a few minutes…&lt;strong&gt;where’s that coffee break&lt;/strong&gt;?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S: …“Somebody else to do it for us”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hey! I need that for my laundry!...and cleaning…and…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S: “This is way beyond that”… “the story will make sense”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Well…you better make it have one, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S: “We want to do a quick DEMO”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I always think that they are going to bring a MIDI player and play “Everybody wants to rule the world”. I will never forget this song. It was the first MIDI I ever downloaded when it took like hours to download one song from the internet back in the 90’s. Shit, I said back in the 90’s! I’m getting old. The nineties…the nineties…that was yesterday right? Wait a minute…did he said 20 minutes?! (Bye-Bye Piñata…) Could I overbook these?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The slides are pretty…I better pay attention&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S: “With this we can see everything people do”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;(everything!?).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S: “We can see if they are walking or lying down” (sounds tricky to me…confusing…)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;He makes a joke about the Big Mac. (It’s not funny to me. Again…what are they talking about?) I laugh along…again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S: “…train for the unexpected”… “We simulate more or less the whole thing”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Is he talking about me? What does he mean with the whole thing?&lt;br /&gt;Wait…if shutdowns are less frequent then they have fewer opportunities to train people. What train?...shit, I’m falling asleep. I think I need coffee. When is the break? Hello! Did you guys forget about it? ...My tummy aches. Ah! Tuesday night is flamenco night. Fcuk…the week is going slow today. Well…tomorrow is Wednesday anyway. It does make a big difference…r.i.g.h.t…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S: “this is the other end”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Really? I don’t like the other end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S: “every process is unique” “in the planes’ industry is more limited”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ok right…just for the record I’m not the only one flying here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S: “The more money you put on the table, the better your solution is”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;In my country…we have a name for it…yes…it is called BRIBE! And yes, policemen tell us that all the time. No joke. Their favorite phrase when they stop you for doing some insignificant shit like driving thru red is: “how do we solve this?” those bastards! They should be punished with meetings…and no coffee!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S: “so we have 3 keys”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“the piano keys…are black and white but they sound like a million colors in your miiiiiiiiiiind” shit I love that song.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S: “dynamic simulation”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Simulate this!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S: “the longer the FAT takes, the better the system at the end”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Maybe it depends on how fat the fat is, right? Hahaha…silly joke. What was FAT again? Fucking accessible theory?...haha..good one. Yup, Forever addicted to trouble…better one… ok…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S: “factory acceptance test”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;…thank you chubby one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never thought I would be doing this in a meeting. I remember I did it in classes. I can’t keep focus. Maybe that’s why people talk to me. I simulate very well my listening skills. I listen very well while I take notes on something totally different.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S: “that is quite a challenge”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Is he really listening to my thoughts? He is scaring me…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S: “…touch base on this”… “we need to create some problems because some people will lose interest in the process”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mmhmm you got it right my friend. Forget about the flatness. Me no likey flatness. Me likey challenge. Wait…is he still talking about work or just coincidently about my love life?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S: “reduce the flow and bring it slowly and safely to zero”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;It sounds so peaceful: slowly and safely…mmmh. Where is that precisely? I want to be zero right now. With some Margaritas laying on a beach…4h one side…4 hours the other side…mmm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suddenly… “do we want to take a break?” – someone asks. Nobody says anything. I break the silence. I’m tired of thinking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: “well, I’d like to take some coffee”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone says: “Me too”. Everybody follows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(&lt;em&gt;They love me)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I take an Ice tea…with bubbles. They talk. I go back to reality and do the best I can…I smile. Nod. Smile again. The rest is history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE END&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2999707754984419790-1410820051401492458?l=andreinaromero.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andreinaromero.blogspot.com/feeds/1410820051401492458/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2999707754984419790&amp;postID=1410820051401492458' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2999707754984419790/posts/default/1410820051401492458'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2999707754984419790/posts/default/1410820051401492458'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andreinaromero.blogspot.com/2009/04/what-i-talk-about-when-i-talk-about.html' title='What I talk about when I talk about...'/><author><name>Chiqui</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01091373600396632732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/S0-xs3vA0QI/AAAAAAAAAUw/YuyA6FfM_wo/S220/chiqui.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/SeuSEYB4sSI/AAAAAAAAAOg/vxbbraeBzfA/s72-c/trapped-white-shadow-400a061807.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999707754984419790.post-776076920242172712</id><published>2009-04-16T21:50:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-04-16T20:49:00.818+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Princes in the soup...</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="mobile-photo"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/Sed9nCbQnWI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/f1oJxWBzgu4/s1600-h/Foto1531-740823.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ye5doSK8sk/Sed9nCbQnWI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/f1oJxWBzgu4/s320/Foto1531-740823.jpg"  border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325363194008477026" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Aaaah!
