1968 Mustang...



When I was 15 I saw this cool girl driving a red 1965 Mustang. I was in line waiting to got to my first rock en espanol concert, at the Palace. I went to see Mana, because I was sooo obsessed with their keyboard player Ivan...Ever since that day I always knew that I wanted to own a Mustang especially a Vintage one...I wasn't able to find a 1965 Mustang in good condition so I opted in getting a 1968 one.. It's been fun owning the car, but now I have to part ways with it. It was my weekend job to fix it with my dad...Yes a girl trying to fix a piece of history...But after a lot of thought I have decided to sell the beautiful car... I can't afford to fix it anymore...It still runs sweetly and I always got boys trying to buy it from me..I always said "No," because the interior needs some fixing...I can't hold on to a little piece of history anymore and now it has a for sale sign on it...

One More Time...

I'm feeling a bit like a stranger to my own blog post..(he, he)...It's been a loooong time I know...I've realized for once how technology is so important to our daily lives...I haven't had access to a computer for a weeek...(I hate using other people's personal computers and even public one's for my own use.) I just want to have a computer at home so I can sit down in my favorite chair and navigate the internet. When you are in public places I feel like I am rushed to do what I have to do and there's a timer next to the screen...That makes it even worst...Technology is beautiful when you are able to have it in the privacy of your own home...It's funny how I have internet and not a computer and the only time I am able to check anything is when my brother is kool enough to lend me the laptop...That is kinda ours...

I've been watching a lot of T.v. lately...it feels like the whole week is booked by tv shows that I have come to enjoy...I think I am cheating on technology when I'm watching tv....But if I have to recommend some shows..here are my top choices...

1. Castle (I freakiiiin luv the writer storyline)
2. How I met Your Mother ( So funny)
3. So You Think You Can Dance (I secretly want to learn to dance contemporary.)
4. Glee (High School drama)

Fall Fall Fall!

I can't wait for "Fall"...Summer has been fun...But it is time for some breezy weather and leaves falling...I'm truly excited. It's been quite a busy summer trying to get back into the rhythm of writing once again. I had been lacking a bit of inspiration to finish my novel. Hopefully I could finish in a couple of weeks. The ideas are starting to flow once more...and it's a good escapism...I can't wait to share the novel...It has gone through some title changes..and I think for now I would title it "Every You, Every Me"...I've been listening lately to old skool songs from the band Placebo...and one of their songs is titled that way...and it is pretty neat because I think that song carries the momentum of the story....Hopefully the next time I write is because I have some new written chapters of my book...

New Beginnings

My novel writing has been on hold...for these couple of days...My computer's hardware gave up on me...(yes, amiguitos y amiguitas it died) and for my luck I can't get it fixed because the warranty expired last year...everything is a bit loooooost...I technically cannot afford a new one at the present time...and if I take it to a shop...it's gonna cost toooo much..I think I'm gonna have to take out the typewriter...(old skool)..I'll continue figuring out ways to write my novel and complete it before the summer ends...

Paso El Tiempo...

I truly like listening to music...but today I can't stop listening to that song from "Belanova" Denisse has such a sweeeeet voice...The song "Paso El Tiempo" is so nice....It is so dancyy but the lyrics are so deep....I hadn't quite payed much attention to it, until today...I just want to crank up the volume and dance around the house...I might do that before I go to work tomorrow morning...like that I can be more energized that it is Monday...
The lines that get to me is:

"Como, cuando y donde te fui perdiendo."

El Lunes...
















I think I'm inspired to write today...I'm probably making up for the many blogs I haven't written...(ha, ha)...On Monday I had the best day ever! I had plans con mi amiguita Jasmine to work on papel picado and flowers at my house...She needed all of the decorations for this kool show at "La Cita" on Wednesday night...(It was for the Pinata Party for Pilar Diaz)...She shows up at my house like at 6:00...We talk a bit and then she needed to make copies of a donkey, and needed a letter "P." We made the copies and then we take off to Walmart...We needed string and colorful pipes for the flowers...We listened in the car to"She and Him" ...awww! that album is sooo amazing...We pick up quickly the materials that were needed and when we are leaving the store the security guard must check the receipt...He tells her thank you "Sir" and then he apologizes when he realizes that Jasmine is a woman...and then he starts to apologize...She tells him that it is okay...We walk out and we start to laugh...Jasmine then has a kool idea about going to see Ceci Bastida play after we go measure the string at "La Cita." I'm like sure, but then Jasmine wanted to get some clothes at the vintage store, because she was in her jogging clothes and I was in my whatever gear...So we go to the vintage store...and she is looking for pants and I'm just looking at the jackets...and then she wanted to try on the pants she found...and then I walk to the book section and next to it there's the record section...Jasmine decides to check out the records and she finds "A Blondie album, Madness, B52's and a couple of Elvis Costello and the Attractives records..(those were for David, because he is a big fan of him.) We couldn't believe it...Jasmine couldn't try on the pants, because they closed at 7:00 the try on rooms...so we had to make line to buy the records...We were keeping our fingers crossed that they cost un dolar...When we got to the register she only payed $5.49...(yipeeeee) what an awesome buy...We head out to "La Cita", but I had forgotten my driver's license...When we get in "I'm hoping that they don't ask for my i.d...but they do and I have to go outside. I couldn't believe it...I felt so 17 wanting to go in the bar and couldn't because you didn't have the age...(ha, ha)...We must go back to mi casa so I can get my i.d. or else I wasn't gonna get in at the "Echo"..and I was gonna be so saaad...We decide to put all of the papel picado en el carro y las flores that I had...and we take off once more to the "Echo"...We had the best time danciiiiing, surprising David with the records, and we ended up buying t-shirts and ep's of Ceci...awww! she was soooooo sweeeet...it was the best Monday ever!

Papel Picado Adventures...







It'll all started with an idea from a good friend who had this kool vision of having a Pinata Party... And she wanted to know if anybody knew how to make "Papel Picado." I wasn't sure what "Papel Picado" was, but I had seen some Cinco de Mayo banner type of squares that the parents made at work for decorations...So I call my friend during lunch time to ask...and she was like, "yEs, yEs!" that's what she wanted, but of course in different colors..I didn't know how to make it..I thought it was gonna be hard and I had already told my friend that I could make them...since I was gonna get the tissue paper...I was a bit nervous with the task, because what if I didn't deliver...(ha, ha) Then on Saturday my friend text me saying if I was making the squares 8x10...I was like sure...hadn't even started making anything...and I even offered to make flowers..(I know how to make that)...so no panic there...It was until Sunday morning when I decided to start working on the papel picado project...thank goodness for U tUBE...I found a little girl explaining the easy steps of how to make it...in her broken English...I was sooooo happy that it wasn't hard to make...and there I was in the kitchen table cutting and being all inspired by the "Arctic Monkeys music" especially the song "Leave Before The Lights Come On." I was supposed to go out danciiiiing on Sunday niteeee, but a 5.0 shake occured and I didn't go anywhere...and so I continued cutting el papel picado and making flowers...

Una Vez Mas Escribiendo...

Hello, Hello...

It's been a looooong time...and "Tiragomas" is on a break..But I will start writing on this blog moreeee often....Everyone has been a bit busy working on their own projects. I have finally started writing an actual novel..."Yes, Yes!" my very first one...I have called it for the time being "The Defects of My Affection." (The title might change)... at the same time I've been writing the script for it too...(multitasking), but the true reality is that the script came first...(ha, ha)...I might put some of the chapters here time to time...No more a closet writer...I've also been taking a design class on Saturday mornings....I was feeling a bit retarded with my painting skillzzzzzz...Today I finally finished my "Color wheel" yipeeeee! believe me when I say that this was not fun to make...I even made up a little rhyme while I painted because I was that excited to be almost done...and I realized that I wanted to go out danciiiiiing...
