Story

Once upon a time, there was a girl who always dreamed of doing something big, something meaningful, something that would help out her community (whatever this community is).

But that was only her dream, she never thought of ways of how to make it happen.

One day she said it to someone out loud and she then realized that once she did that her dream had started to become real, because once it came out of her mouth, her words were tangible since there was somebody listening.

This is a story that still needs to be developed more.

Keep dreaming little girl.

On how to stay motivated

It's just hard sometimes.
Sometimes my only motivation is that I don't depend on nobody but myself. I I don't push myself hard enough then the only person who's going to suffer the consequences is me.
I happen to stay calm and somewhat positive on though times. But when things are not as bad, that's when I start giving up. Why? I don't know. I seems like I need to hit rock bottom in order to lift myself up and continue with the struggle. And I'm the strongest when I'm on my own.
Does this mean that I need to be doing really bad and have nobody around for moral support in order to find some motivation?
I have to find some balance, I definitely do. As much as I want to be on my own and as much as I seek to be in a desperate situation, the world (or whatever) seems to be sending people who actually want to be around me and also keeps improving my situation. So what is left for me to do? Just take life how it comes and go with the flow.
(I don't know if the text follows what the title says, but what the heck)

On trying to be a better person

I am (to my disgrace) very politically correct.
I try to help others in any way possible.
I support all my friend's artistic career, even though it means that I'm gonna be spending the money that I don't have.
I'm very caring. I really am.
I give up my subway or bus seat when I see a pregnant woman, an elder or anybody that might need it more than me.
I try not to spend too much water when I shower, when I brush my teeth, when I do the dishes, etc.
I donate to charity: Planned Parenthood, UNICEF, Doctor's Without Borders, WNYC, Children International and World Vision. I used to donate to Habitat for Humanity, The Humane Society, ASPCA and Channel 13th. I can't really afford to do it anymore, that's why I cut back. Even still is not enough to get a decent tax deduction.
I try to be as honest with my family and friends as I possibly can. But sometimes silence is the best policy.
I try. And I repeat, I TRY to keep in touch with my friends, even if is through Facebook. My success rate is kind of low.
I love animals. And they love me back.

I'm not a bad person, but I'm not perfect either. I don't think I'm doing too bad.

Ok, I'll try to improve and add more to that list.

Introduction

So how does one start a blog? I mean, I tried before, but it didn't seem to make any sense, so I erased the one entry that I had. Something about my name is such and such, this is how I arrived to this country, this is why I'm writing this blog, blah blah, blah.....

And in what language does one write? It doesn't matter to me really. I don't write for anyone else but myself. So why do I have a blog? That, I don't know. I guess that's what people do. Is like a fad or something: "So! how was last night?", "Have you seen my blog yet?", "No","Read it, it'll tell you all about it".
I know, I know, I'm being a bit extremist. But only a bit. I know that there are very interesting blogs out there, in fact, I'm subscribed to some great Architecture blogs that are very informative and fresh.

I don't care about the reasons why people have blogs. I don't care if people read my blog and I certainly don't have a strong reason to be doing this, but hey! here I am, and this time there will be no erasing. Hopefully.
