The Risky and Stupid thing I did

The Risky and Stupid thing I did



Oh my!!!, There really must be something wrong with me, either I am loosing sense of caution or simply going all mad.
Apparently I can put myself to be a calmed, safe girl, no I had to do such silly things.

Ok, So after doing thw whole black look, and spending the afternoon like that, so arrived night.
So a little later, around 10:30 when I thought street would be a little more calm (or in full words, with the minimum amount of people) I decide to step outside.
First aproach to the door, was cancelled, a car parked near by (a taxi actually), so had to wait a little for the passenger to go inside his home and the taxi to go away.
And to the door again, and outside, wow having spend all afternoon inside with the air conditioner, the hot weather outside seemed like a thousand times hotter.
Anyway, I walk as fast and calmly to the car as possible (I hate alarms and their sounds) and get in as ladylike as possible,fasten seatbelt, turn on and off I went.
Drive around for a little (I am starting to love so much driving in a skirts and with heels)

And while driving, I passed by the park I went down the other day, and just couldn't help myself, the thought of parking and going down was hitting my brains too much.
And so there I went again, going down to the little park, at night, all alone, in girl mode, with that look.
Oh My, what was I thinking?? Why did I did it??
Anyway, I went down the car, give a walk arounf the park (from the car I already saw the park was empty but wanted to make sure)
I sit down a little, trying to relax, and then I went to try shooting a few pictures (this time they were a little bit more decent than last time)
Did another short walk, and then sit a little more, enjoying the feeling of being outside, the air flowing around me.
Got to get back to car being a hot weather place, I was starting to get hot and could nt risk loosing the makeup effect because of it.

Drive a little more around before returning home, where I then went through shower to take make-up off, and then to sleep.

And so that way my girl Sunday ended, with such a stupid and risky thing I did

Faces and Hands in Confussion (Also the historical of Jessica dissapearing)

Faces and Hands in Confussion

AS I was writting in my previous historical bla I then went out of School, and move to another city for my first job.
So being in a new city, plus the change from school to the job world was quite big, so that at a start it was a bit of a busy time.
Extra to that, during that time I was living with some relatives, so basically I got no privacy for me.
Add to that no access to Internet, which was the only posibility of Jessica to contact the world.
SO Jessica went quickly into oblivion, and dissapeared.

During those years there were a couple of times that I went to travel to hometown.
Being that the house was still alone one time before the travelling I tought of taking sometime there to dress up.
Went to a couple of stores, and somehow manage to buy myself a skirt and a blouse. I quickly put them in my back-pack and to the bus-station I went.
During the stay at hometown I managed to make so time to put the clothes onbut in some way it didn't felt right, a feeling of "Ok, so now I am here in a skirt, now what??"
All the pain and nervouss feeling of the buying to end up not ejoying it. Plus upon return I had to get rid of the clothes by throwing them into the garbage, such a waste.
One later time I passed by by one boutique that sell hosiery, short dresses, mini-skirts. So I thought, perhas If using some outfit like those.
So next trip I went in to buy there , I went all nervous, but the people there were really nice in showing me catalogs and helping decide for one mini-dress.
So arrived home-town, put it on, but again, the image of "Simply a boy in a dress" and the feeling of "Now what??" invaded my mind.

And with that, for the remaining of that time, Jessica dissapeared completely.
Anyway, should stop this historical non-sense for now

Kisses
Jessica

PS, the telling of the "Risky and stupid thing I did this weekend will be posted later"

Lady of Pain, Confussion and Mayhem.

Lady of Pain, Confussion and Mayhen.




So this weekend got to stay in the Island, doing lots of work, Well, it was ok, since I have been out last two weekends.
Anyway did lots of work, clean the apartment, do the shopping for the week.
Well Sunday afternoon decided to try a new look in me.

So after doing all the lady preparation procedure, I was ready to dress-up ann make-up.
I put the black long wig this time, wow, not only is it a lot of work to undo all the nuts and leave it, half decently. It's also a big heat producer, had to take it off a couple of times because was making it so hot (and that was in the house with the air conditioner at top)

Anyway, did a few pictures, then sit down to see a really boring game, so decide to read a few pages, couldn't concentrate, so just started drawing lines while listening some music.

Then later at night I did something really risky and stupid,, but I tell you about it other day.

Couldn't decide if putting the color one, or the B&W photo, so posted both (I can't even make such simple choice)


Maybe the word "OF" should be changed for "IN"

Kisses
Experiment Jessica

PS. Got to decide where to go next weekend, should I go see the sea on the other side of the Peninsula or visit more Pyramids

Reptiles

Reptiles

Ok, so no new Jessica's Pics, why?

Well among other things been sick of the flu (the evil mind says is bird flu, so in theory I will die in two weeks) so that really put me in a lazy mode.
Second to that last weekend was the celebration of Independence Day for Mexico so took advantage of that to go visit my family. So got to put my boy mode at front.
And three, at return got quite busy at job.

But hopefully evil mind is wrong, and I'll be healthy soon and able to try a new Jessica's look.

Anyway, to the pic
Well they are a few Iguanas, Lizards, and Reptiles from the archeological area.
As little kiddy I liked seeing the, since they are like mini-dinosaurs. And as a kid, I liked dinosaurs. To think of such huge reptiles was incredible. I remember I had a few dinosaur books, dinosaur plastic toys and skeletons. I would easily spent hours playing with the dinosaurs.

I liked seeing dinosaur movies, I loved the first Jurassic Park. Bad thing were the following sequels, those other Jurassic Park movies were awful. A nice movie ruined by the greed of the hollywood money-seeker devils.

But then the dinosaurs died, (according to the most famous theory , due to a meteor falling in Yucatan - Oh that's exactly where I photographed those reptiles) but somehow their mini-sized cousins survived, and are here to reminds us, that on some other era, a different species ruled the Earth.

Well, till next week
Have happy days
Jessica, the dinosaur dreamer.

Cenotes

Cenotes



Ok, so to continue with the weekend travel.

In the area there are this things called "cenotes", In the area there are lots of subterranean rivers, and those rivers surface at some points, that’s what is called a cenote.
Sometimes they are in the open, sometimes they are underground in a cave, sometimes they form like a well.
If one can get to the water area, is ok to swim in most of them. There is even people who dive into them to the underground river, and surface in another one near by.
They are a really impressive nature beauty.


Plus swimming in them is really great, water is cool, really still, fish swimming around.
The one in Ik-Kil has a great view from the middle of the water. The one in Samula is really cool, swimming between the rock formations.

But the one I enjoyed the most was X-Keken, It was completely alone when I arrived, I went swimming really calm, no sound except from the one made by water and the occasional bird song that came in from the outside.
The cave all around me, like if it was some kind of secret place, away from the world, like if for that time there was noting else but me and the water, like if problems didn't exist.

Anyway, moving on to the explaining of the photo

Top Left, the cenote of Ik-Kil from bottom, this is how the hole in the upper part looks from the down area.
Top Middle, the cenote of Samula, inside a big cave, quite impressive, really great for swimming, plus the stalactites create some cool rock formations.
Top Right, the sacred cenote of Chichen-Itza, in theory it was used to do sacrifices to the Gods, they throw jewelry, food and people in there.
Bottom Left, the cenote of X-Keken, this one is also in a cave, the hanging things are the roots of a tree in the surface, this one was also a great swimming place.
Bottom Middle, the cenote of Zaci, located in the town of Valladolid, is also quite big and lots of fishes in it. Not sure if swimming was allowed.
Bottom Right, The cenote of Ik-Kil, this one is the prettiest of the ones I visited, the hanging roots, the plants on the rock walls, the blue tone of the water. Great for swimming also.

So that's it, was a great weekend trip.

Kisses

Archeology Lesson from Chichen-Itza

Archeology Lesson from Chichen-Itza




Ok, so this weekend, was another archeological trip, this time to the site of Chichen-Itza

Chichen-Itza is an incredible Mayan Site, near Merida in Yucatan. It's big and really amazing. Chichen Itza was a main Mayan city, big in religious, commercial and war-power(Or so I was told at school).

Was quite a walk around, this time not going up the pyramids, It is no longer allowed, I understand it too many people (according to the guide its over 2 million visitors per year) climbing the pyramids can be bad to keep them nice, but is sad since it must be an incredible look from the top. The only problem, was that too much walking under the mid-day sun got me some skin burn (even with sun-blocker)

Now to explain the photos in the pic, there are lot more buildings, but can't put that many here.

Top Left, is a Detail of the decoration on one of the buildings named Nunnery (Zona de las monjas), the details here are from Chaac the god of rain.

Top right is another detail from a snake decoration near then Tzompantli or Wall of the Skulls, this is supposed to be in representation of the one fallen in battle. The snakes head appear in lots of buildings in Chichen-Itza.

Bottom Left is the main building in Chichen-Itza, The Kukulkan Castle, Kukulcan is the mayan version of Quetzatcoatl, the Feathered Serpent, the main God. The stairs start at the base with snake heads. This building has some interesting facts, has a total of 365 steps, the number of days in the solar calendar of the Mayans, on the Autumn and Spring Day equinox, as the sun raises, the shadows makes it look like if a snake was coming down the pyramid. If you stand in front of the stair area and Clap your hands, the echo replies with a bird-like sound.

Bottom Right is the Caracol observatory. the little windows in it allowed the Mayans to track the movement of the sun and stars.

There are a few more things like one really big ball-game area, the wariors temple, and also a cenote which I talk about other day.

Ok, so here ends for today, the long mumblings of
Jessica, the silly Archeologist

The Old adventures of Jessica on the ICQ

Standy Girl, and th





Well as I told in the previous historical post I created Jessica and an Internet Id for her.
On those old times the way to talk to other people on Internet was ICQ, and so I created an account there.
Some days I logged in with Jessica's number. Problem was I had no contacts on ICQ for the t-girl world.
I asked the few girls I sometimes emailed with, only one have used it, and due to time zones, only a couple of times we met there, nice short chats.

But not having contacts was not a stop to do some chatting, the problem was that it was not the kind of chatting I wanted.

Basically I could summary the kinds of conversation into the following

Like 15% were people with female identity
Around 50% mainly wanted to complain or talk about boyfriends and ex or talk about how hot X or Y was. After a while it got boring.
Around 30% did some kind of chat, sometimes interesting, some other times not much, but like chatting normally.
Around 19.999% of them after "hi, asl, ho u do" started trying to go into s-ex-ch-at or cy-ber-s-ex or anything similar.
And 1 girl found out on her own after some little chatting about Jessica in fact being a boy, found it funny, and kept talking to me, mostly out of curiosity of this funny behavior of me wanting to dress girly.

Like 80% were male people.
Around 50% of them after "hi, asl, ho u do" started trying to go into s-ex-ch-at or cy-ber-s-ex or anything similar.
Around 40% tried to make a bit more of conversation (sometimes for a few days) before going into the same cyber thing.
Only like 10% actually were into chatting like a usual chat.

The remaining 5% basically a hi asl, and after finding I was form mexico they dissapeared.

That’s for the start, sometimes after just a few lines I did told them the awful truth about Jessica, some other times I told after a longer while, and sometimes I forgot to tell.
It kind of not matter if I come clean about the ugly secret in Jessica early or later, the reactions were more of less the same, like 95% of the people never talk again, and like half of them called me liar or something worse before disappearing.

But there were other people who kept talking no matter what Jessica was.
A couple of interesting histories from those who kept talking to me.
A boy who usually just kept talking about school stuff, suddenly started hitting on me
A girl who usually chat with me about computer games (yep we both geeky) started talking to me about how hot actress X looked, and how she found girl Y so attractive. We still talked about the games.
An old man who after that offered me plane tickets to his place.
But the one I remember the most was this guy, who was of the cyber-thing bunch, pretty annoying at a start, so I thought telling him would scare him away, well nope, he then went into talking about his stuff at work (pretty interesting thing about chemistry stuff), became a regular person to chat. Then he disappeared for like a month. When he return, he then was talking all biblical, religious stuff (interesting part was he only talk about the evils of stealing, drinking, not doing god's will, but never used the religion stuff against my dressing), quite boring sometimes, but others quite good arguments about religion.

It then became the time I was out of school, first work in a different city, and no internet at all.
Jessica disappeared on that time, and her online personality died, forgotten.

What happen later, some other day I will write that. For now


Kisses
Jessica

Nail Circle and the evils of Math

Nail Circle and the evils of Math




Nail Circle and the evils of Math

Well, got to do a few sets of nails this weekend, It’s so much fun painting them.
So once I ended, I decided to try a way to show them all, and the result was this circles thingies.

As a little kid I used to like circles, anything round kind of attract my attention, and I was happy.
Then I went to school, where they taught me about math and geometry, and they told this crazy explaining about circles, and as I went further in school the circle become more and more complicated. And so I learned to hate Math.


Yes I went to school and grew up to hate mathematics.

Supposedly, Math is like some sort of science practiced to deal with the logics of shape and quantities. Even some went to say that math was an exact science.
But after like lots of years at school doing math thingies, I failed to see the logic in it, and in some cases the science part.

But the one thing I hated Math for the most was how complicated the made the circle, something that as a kid I saw as so simple and perfect, suddenly was transformed by those math teachings into some monster.
First the pi number, 3.14... , and I still remember the first thing the teacher said "And still to this day the exact value of pi is unknown", and years later another one said "With the most powerful computers, each day new numbers of pi are discovered".
So good for the exact part, no matter what, any-calculation made used that magic number (yes some of my teachers called it the magic number, as some other numbers I was taught later) was inexact, incomplete.

Then appeared the inconsistencies, (well maybe If I did some research I might find one of the teachers was lying, but math is also so boring, that I won't waste my time in that research)
Ok, after that long parenthesis, back to the inconsistencies part. First one teacher said that a straight line is like the outside line of a really big circle, like of an almost infinite radius, so the curve actually looked like a straight line. (Even said some math people went as far as to say straight lines don't exist)
Then another one said, that nope, that a circle was like an hexagon or octagon, but that it was a figure of a varying number of sides, the bigger the circle, the most number of sides (some explaining about sides being lines consisting of three points, sharing last two with the next side)
And finally, one said that circles don’t exist, that is just a result of mankind imagination, which only exists into the boundaries of math.

Then was this geometry-algebra hybrid, in which the put a circle in term of some equation like (x+i)2 + (y+j)2 = r2,
And I remember some equations in which at the results you had things that were like having negative or imaginary radius, like what?? Where is the logic there?

So by the end, a figure so simple, so pretty, so perfect was turned into something inexact, inconsistent, undefined, and probably non-existent by math.
And still some people continue to say I am crazy for hating math, buh.

Still more evil of math were discovered later, but I guess some later posts will help me explain that.

Bored by math, since first day of school.

Office Girl, and a very sad news

Office Girl and some sad news



So this weekend got to stay at home, lots of working on weekend
Being that last two weekends I went on trips, plus being end of month (which includes end processing and backups) got to stay here, and came to office quite some time.
Also got to do the cleaning of the apartment.
Well being that this weekend felt like if it was not, decided to end it in girl mode and in that try a more serious, office-like appeareance
So I choose this outfit, not exactly the best considering my lack of waist. But it kind of help the look

So not the usual office girl
Jeje, while putting this outfit I was thinking, well what If I show to work like this??

Oh, a sad news, I heard while having breakfast today, that the cocodrile man is dead.
A quick check on the internet http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,20349534-952,00.html
Show that yes, Steve Irwin, the cocodrile man, died in some accident with a sting-ray
This is sad, I really liked his show at Discovery and Animal Planet.
A sad news indeed. :(

Fungi 2 J

Fungi 2 J






Ok, I like the fungi, jejeje.

So a few more Fungi shots. Well not all of them are, but the others ones I liked too.


Top Left, some fruit thingies at different states, one yellow, green , and rotten. I moved them to be closer, but lots of the fruity things were under the tree.

Top Right, a nice Fungi community at the base of a tree, liked the dual color in the fungi.

Middle Left, a white fungi group, this one felt really soft, and altough blurry, a centipede can be spotted there.

Middle right. A green fungi party, kind of like a stair to go up the tree.

Bottom left, a lonely big fungi, this one was big, and looked so yummi, like ready to bite it right there. (I did not, since it might be poisonus)

Bottom right, some fruity things

Well guess thats all

Outside little trips

Outside

So well to continue my history, ther I was inside all quiet, but one of the purposes of this time was to go outside. And so I I did. Not really big outings, but they were time outside as girl.

So first time, was like around 6 afternoon, plenty of sunlight, of course I didn't went outside alone, got two people going with me, since they also wanted to go to the near by store. So there we go, out on the street,walking around in the neighborhood.

Crossed a few people on the walk, this time I look to their faces, trying to see any reaction, but most of them were like emotionless faces. Ony person who like put attention to all 3 of us, was this man walking his dog, but I think was more because of the dog, than caring about us.

After a while we arrive to store. First like panic, since just a couple of hours I have gone to that same store to buy a bottle of water, on my way to Blush. But was no other option but to go in. Inside the store there was this guy and the same cashier as before.

So we go in, each going toward the fridge, buying their stuff, the guy just kept looking toward me, not buying anything, just standing there, quite creepy. Then time to pay for the purchases. Oh god, had to come face to face to the cashier. I look with as much attention as possible, trying to figure out if there was any sign of recognition (how paranoid I am, like if a cashier who saws the faces of hundreds of people a day would remember me, jejej) But no funny looks, no surprise eyes. All nervous I paid, and said thanks.

So back to place, I open my bag again, to take a photo of the outing, and then remembered, that on the airport they asked to remove batteries from camera (not sure why such things in Mexico, plus it is actually more risk the batteries going loose on backpack in cargo cointainer, than safely inside the camera, silly), so no pic there.

SEcond time out, was more into the night, the owners of Blush went to buy some bread, so I asked, "Can I go with you?" and they said "Ok", so there I went out at night, this time I knew camera got batteries, since already took the domino picture. Crossed very few people, and at night so not really like they got a good view of me. At bread store the ttedand could have saw me, and so did a lady who came inside, I think she smiled, not sure if courtesy or because I was looking funny.

And so the pic is from that second time outside. Not really like the big trips to the outside, but more longer than any other before. Plus this time I was a lot less nervous, so could look into other people faces, and enjoy it.

And so ends the recap from the little Jessica adventure.

Playing Domino

Playing Domino




Ok, so last weekend I travelled to Mexico city to do some family errands on Sunday.
So Saturday, got the day for doing personal stuff. So I decided It was a good day to let Jessica be a little bit.

So I went to do some shopping, mainly to get stuff I needed for the boy aleter-ego and got myself a pair of girl clothes. The blue one in pic is one of them.

Once in the afternoon, I went again to Blush, this time, was a lot less nervous of the fact of people seeing both sides of me, since they have already done so.

So I got myself dressed, and applied make-up, except the eyes that Claudia (the make-up girl there) helped me doing ( I still got trouble with that, my eyes have this tendency to close, whenever I got something near to them).

the rest of the afternnon was spent staying there, playing dominoes with people around there.

I got to go out a few times, but that a story for the next pic.

In all, it was good, and I felt happy of doing it again.

Bugs and Spider from the Jungle (Also I am angry for pluto declared no longer a planet)

Bugs and Spider







Sorry, I know a girl should not said such ugly words as I am going to but

I AM COMPLETELY ANGRY
Who the hell do those stupid astronomers who said Pluto no longer a planet think they are, wait my mistake, they don't think.

According to the news, now Pluto no longer a planet, its now a dawrf, WHAT??
that's bullshit.

Sorry, I know its not ladylike to curse like that, but that really made me angry. Pluto is my second most favorite planet (and just because Saturn is prettier).

Ok, now to the picture.
So extra to the monkeys and big animals, the jungle was full of little animals, insects, frogs, bugs, and the ones not capable of flying are easier to shot (with a camera).

There were these big butterflies in a nice blue tone and others in black with green spots, but they always were flying and moving, And was unable to get any decent pic of them :(

I like insect photos, being able to see them in big is cool, plus is like seeing the big monsters from old horror movies, plues sometimes If got lucky, I can even see details like eyes, or hairy legs, and such.

Ok, now to the explaining.

Top left, a big scary spider, at some roads (not the main ones) you got to walk really carefull, or risk getting one of them in your face.

Top right, some cool black and yellow bug.

Middle Left, some bug walking on a tree branch, I like the texture on the bug, so similar to the tree.

Middle right, a Snail, they not as slow as I thought.

Bottom Left, a Tarantula Spider, I actually like tarantulas, as opposed to other spiders, guess has to be with the fur/hair. Oh and they are not poisonus.

Bottom right, I saw those two insects fighting, not sure who was trying to eat who, but guess that being on web, it was the little black spider trying to eat the big insect.

Ok, so that last of Jungle pics to post, this time.

Of peacocks and monkeys

Animals from the Jungle




The best part of the jungle trip, was that I was able to see monkeys, YEAAAAAAAAAAH

I love monkeys, they are so funny and cute.

I got to see other wild animals.

In photos I only got wild Peacocks and two kinds of monkeys. I also got to see lots of different kind of birds (no pics, they fly too fast into hiding) and a small feline.

According to it there are also deers, jaguar (which at some moment a groar was heard, but really far away), wild pigs and other felines. One of the arch site caretaker, told me that a few weeks ago they found a dead animal, with jaguar bites near there, so that was probably the one that we heard.

Oh, I even got the monkeys on video, of course, really bad quality, but still moving monkeys.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCvzJCiRH4E

Anyway, now to the photo description

Top left, some Mono Araña (spider monkey is the literal translation to English)

Top Right, a cute frog.

Middle Left, a couple of wild peacocks

Middle right, a howling monkey (mono aullador)

Bottom left, more Monkeys

Bottom Right, a big peacock family.

A girl in a balcony near Jungle

A Girl at Balcony near Jungle




Jejej, Jessica (that's me) managed to put some clothes inside the evil alter-ego backpack. So once the pyramids and jungle exploring has finished, and after diner, back at hotel.

Initial plan was to go to the cabin rental place, but in the dark of night and all the rain, didn't see the entrance, so instead I stayed at hotel, cool thing of this hotel, is near town, but outside, in the borders of jungle reserve, so still can hear the sounds of nature at night.

So, at night, and since in room area I was, there were only a couple in a room at opposite side, so I decided to put on my girl clothes, wig, and basic make-up (thats why the pic is small). and out to the balcony, to enjoy the cool weather, the light breeze, hoping mosquitoes didn't bite me that much.

Wonderful, to just sit there, relaxing, drinking some water, hearing the sounds of the night jungle, and all that as a girl. Amazing.

Probably would have been most interesting to do it in the cabin place, but maybe would have happened, like that time in Palenque, too many mosquitoes, that I couldn't go out, even in boy clothes at night.

Exploring the jungle at Calakmul

Jungle in Calakmul






A few shots of the Jungle
As I told in the previous pic, Calakmul is not only an Archeological Site, its also a Jungle Biological Reserve.

Its big, they told me how big, but I have bad memory so I forgot the exact figure, and I am too lazy too look it in Internet.

Wow, while going out , an to the town, it started raining, wow, It was massive rain, could barely see. And as you can see in pics, a few hours before not even the most remote hint of such rain.

Ok, now to explain the images.

Top Left, is some tree-branch formation , I just liked the texture and shape it has.

Top Middle, a view from top of outer Piramid, you can see the top of other two pyramids, and how green the jungle looks from above.

Top Right, one of the few areas of jungle that you could walk easily, love the green in the floor.

Bottom Left, one of the road inside the jungle, really great to hear the sounds of birds, and to spot an ocasional squirrel.

Bottom Center, view from top of Main pyramid, easier to see top of the other pyramid in front at Main Acropolis in Calakmul.

An Bottom Right, a view of a part of the jungle, not so easy to walk in there, pretty thight.

I really enjoyed this, looking into all those greens, so many plants, the sounds of the wild, just amazing, so different to where I used to live, where green only was seen on cactus.

Some Archeology Lessons from Weekend

Some Archeology from Weekend





So this weekend, the evil alter-ego decided said, "Hey look there is this Archeological site I still haven't visited, let's go there".

It was amazing. A few archeological sites, all really impressive, plus they are located inside a biological reserve area, the Calakmul Jungle. Wow.

The Calakmul siite, is really big, plus the jungle around it is really dense.

Now to the description of the pics.

Top left, is the Main Pyramid in the Main Acroppolis section of Calakmul, is really big, several estelas in the front Yep I went all the way up twice.

Top Right, is a detail of a king statue, in the Three Kings Monunment in Balamku, it is inside a Pyramid, pretty amazing, lots of details.

Bottom Left, is the top of one of the pyramids in Hormiguero, very rich in decorations.

Bottom Right, Is another pyramid in Calakmul, outside the Main Acropolis. Really Big, and great view of the jungle from the top.

Lots of walking, lots of climbing, now my legs are all tired, but that's good, and was really fun.
