Next to the squirrel park, there is this "flower selling area"
And some of the nice vendors, let me took a few photos of the pretty flowers they were offering for sale.

Well, since I couldn't buy and bring home some, I would have to make my flower garden with photos.

I so loved this one, an Orchid I was told it is.
That pure, clean white.
And the vibrant red center.

The wonders one sees.

Just playing around with the color saturation filters, this ones was easy to border.

It reminds me of the movie Pleasantville, where everything is Black and White, and the it goes turning color by pieces. I liked that effect.

Dance, dance, dance

Thats what I did Friday night. Girls nights out dancing. Its so great.
One little advice, if you going to go dancing lots, better to eat something more stomach filling, than just a bowl of rice with veggies. After a bit of dancing, my stomach was crying for food.
And at one moment , I so wanted to take the wig out.
Pacience my girl, pacience.

Near the end of the night, one boy, gave me a scare. AS I was walking back to our seats, with a friend, Someone aproached and said "Hi, I know you", and I did look to see who was, but no one I knew.
Later I found out, since he came to talk a bit, that indeed, I once talked to him via messenger, and is a reader of my blog.

Time came to go, and my friends drive me back to my place.

Well, as said, I went to Mexico City this weekend.

So after arrival, a very late arrival, and getting myself a place to return later for sleeping, I went again to blush, to say Hi to a friend.
Well being late, I rushed into changing, and before I finished, one of my friend was there ready to go dancing.
My friend Trixie was there with two other friends of her. One of them was named Jessica, just like me.
Quickly, I finished my makeup, let a couple of pics be taken, to remember I was there.
And off I went. Couldn't even try to say goodbye or hello to some of the friends that were there.

Then it was dancing all night.

A lot of thank you hugs to my Friend Trixie.

It was a super fun time :D

So, this weekend I did lots of travelling

First to Mexico City,
Mmmm bad thing, apparently lots of raining there, plus a bad airport, make all flights late, so I left my island almost 2 hours late.

I arrived so late, that the subway, a transportation that is usually so full, was, Oh look, empty, just me and my camera.

Good thing about it, is that is not affected by traffic, so fast forward, and boom, there I was close to my destination.

Quiero ser tu, y seguir siendo yo.

Quiero ser tu, y seguir siendo yo.


Quiero ser tu, y seguir siendo yo.

Te miro y suspiramos,
cuando hablo contigo solo yo me escucho,
si cierras tus ojos, yo dejo de verte,
quiero tocarte, y solo encuentro el frio vidrio,
tus labios me soplan, pero no siento el viento,
soy yo quien siente el calor del corazon en tu pecho,
es tu rostro el que recorren las lagrimas,
dos mundos, dos seres, y ninguno.





I want to be you, but still being me

I look at you, and we both sigh
when I talk to you, only I can listen,
if you close you eyes, I can no longer see you
I want to touch you, yet I only find the coldness of the glass,
you lips breathe, but I can't sense the wind,
its me who feels the warmth of your heathbeats,
its your face the one that my tears cross,
two worlds, two beings, and none.

Guayas

A nice encounter

Perspectiva - Un encuentro Agradable

A nice encounter

Well turns out y got crazy enough to do a new thing as Jessica, and resulted to be a nice experience.

But before a little bit of historical blah
Quite often I receive petitions to add contacts to my messenger, from the Male gender. As a start, unless the adress tells me "oh the horror", I accept to say "Hello", you never know, maybe turns out to be someone nice to talk.
but it turns out, that almost allways it turns out to be the opposite. Male people just asking for pics, cam, showing off, or others things that had no point me telling.
Resulting, in taking me longer to say Hello, than blocking them. Actually I have more people in the block list than in the actual contacts.

From time to time, there are exceptions, any other boy, that quite understands a bit of what I am, and what I am not, and we end up having nice chats, or at least doesn't give me reasons to block him.
Well, one of those nice to chat, asked me a ong time ago, if he could meet Jessica in live, to say Hi.
Of course a a start my answer was no, then time passed, and made it maybe.
So I explained clearly, what to wait and what not, and after long times, I one day decided, ok, lets meet. But that time I got to cancel, work stuff. A couple more time, X or Y reason made it a no.

Finally yesterday, it happened, that Jessica was able to go out, and meet someone else in the real world.
and this time, not a girl like her, but a Man

I was total nervous, for one, I was again going out here where I live, and earlier than my usual car trips.
And two, yes, I was scared of it.

But ok, I tell you what happened in short, since I already written way too much.
I went out, of my home, a girl , alll pretty according to me.
Went up my car, and drive to the mmeting point, yes a public place, a place with a few people, a place I knew quite well.
So I dialed hi, to tell him where I was parked, and as he approached, i took a good look, not looking dangerous or anything, decided to stay.
He went into the car, we said hi, and then we started talking, while I was still all shaky from the nervous thing.
After a bit, we went down the car, and sit down in one of the park benches, yes the park I sometines go to snap a few pics. And kept talking.
It was becoming a bit late, so it was time for my new friend to go. I gave him a ride to the place he stay, and said goodbye.

Truth is, as a start I was really scared, but then I felt so normal, nice, it was a nice experience, a nice out time.
Like a male and female friends, that get together, just to talk, and no more, just being happy of the fact of being there together.
And I liked that.

To meet someoe that accepted to go with Jessica as she is, why she is, for the moment wanting no more than just the chat and company.
Someone who showed respect.
As one might said, a gentleman.

Greetings
Jessica

PS, no photo, I had someone to do as photographer, and I forgot to ask.

Times

Tiempos

Tried to translate it in english

Times

Her mind lost in fantasies
her body frozen with uncertainty
feelings that have long ago escaped

A dream that moves in slow steps
a touch that never arrives
sighs lost in the past

A texture that wraps her charms
an emotion that fill her pace
desires that she has denied

here is in spanish
Tiempos

Su mente se pierde entre fantasias
su cuerpo congelado en la incertidumbre
sentimientos que ya se han escapado

Un sueño que avanza a pasos lentos
una caricia que nunca llega
suspiros que se pierden en el pasado

La textura que envuelve sus encantos
la emocion que llena sus pasos
deseos que ella se ha negado.

A spanish prepositions rant.

Vaso de Agua, Vaso con Agua

Vaso de Agua - Vaso con agua

A spanish prepositions rant.

Ok, to my english readers, I'm sorry, but this post is more to do with a Spanish thing about prepositions.
Since I never really learned the correct use of prepositions in English, actually neither in Spanish, except for this case. I can't think of something similar to explain it in English.

So for today, I just say Hello to you.

If interested yet about my rant, well its in Spanish.

Kisses
Jessica

Una discusion de preposiciones en Español.

Vaso de Agua - Vaso con Agua

Pues ayer otra vez alguien me salio con la discusion tonta de que si es con o de.

Si ya se que diran, pero Jessica, si tu eres la persona menos indicada para andar diciendo el uso correcto del lenguaje, ni acentos usas.
Y en efecto, mi ortografia es inexistente (aunque por cuestiones filosoficas) y mi conocimiento del correcto uso de las preposiciones es malisimo (debido a pateticos profesores)

Pero en este caso, debido a que una pesima profesora, se le ocurrio una vez corregirme sobre esto, lo investigue bien y este es el unico ejemplo de uso de preposiciones que si aprendi bien con certeza.

Vaso de agua
Vaso con agua
Pongo las 2, y si las 2 son correctas

Y es que no falta el que si digo Vaso de Agua, me sale con "Como que vaso de agua, el vaso es de vidrio, el vaso no puede ser de agua, puede contener agua, no es de, es con"
O que si digo Vaso con Agua, me salen con "no se dice con, ese no es el uso correcto, es gente que se quizo poner a lo lista de que si hecho de , etc" Bueno, al menos este tiene algo de razon.

Pero los dos estan mal. Aunque el segundo tiene algo de conocimiento bien.
Por que resulta, que ambas son correctas, pero se refieren a dos condiciones distintas.

Veamos por partes.

Vaso de Agua.

Si, es totalmente correcto, y si asi lo dice la Real Academia de la lengua española, en este caso para indicar medicion o contenido.
Ejemplos,
- Una cuchara de azucar , como medida de cuanta azucar
- Un costal de grano, como lo que contiene el costal
- Un vaso de agua, como lo que contiene el vaso, o si seguimos una receta , de medida de cuanta agua.

Tambien en cierto, que se podria, usar el de, como preposicion de la materia que constituye
que es de donde nacio el problema, por que salian con que el vaso no esta hecho de agua, asi que si algun dia, alguien es tan listo como para lograr hacer un vaso hecho de agua, si tendremos un problema pa saber a que se refieren cuando digan vaso de agua, pero de momento no.

ahora vamos con la otra

Vaso con Agua

Pues adivinen, que tambien en si la frase es correcta.

La preposicion con, en uno de sus usos significa, en compañia, junto de.
Entonces que significa un Vaso con Agua, pues significa que hay un vaso, en compañia con el agua.
Puede que el agua este contenida en el vaso, puede que este alrededor del vaso, puede que este solo en el fondo.

Que ocurre, si yo pido, un vaso con agua? Pues que estoy pidiendo que me traigan juntos, el agua y el vaso.
No importa la cantidad de agua, no importa si esta contenida en el vaso, mientras esten junto, es un vaso con agua.
Si usted me trae un vaso, con una gotita de agua en un borde, habra cumplido con mi peticion, de un vaso con agua, por que eso es lo que es, agua y vaso juntos, en compañia.

Ambas son correctas, simplemente no significan lo mismo.

Y ahora me voy, pues tengo que beber un vaso de agua, y despues dejar el vaso con agua en el lavaplatos.

Bye

Kisses
