Washington D.C.
Day One:
What a day! First of all, I had to work from 8am to 1pm and then run home to pick up all my stuff and head to the airport to catch my flight. Luckily, my flight was delayed 20min. So I made it on time.
I am now writing from the hotel room at Washington D.C. and I am utterly EXHAUSTED.
Favorite things so far:
- The massive amount of people walking on the streets
- Easy transportation system
- Variety of restaurants
Least favorite things so far:
- There are far too many maintenance-work done on the metro wagons.
- Massive delay on each of the metro stations
- The ride from the airport to Alexandria, VA is not very pleasant, traffic wise.
Random thoughts:
- Chinatown is actually not that big of a Chinatown
- Every single person in Washington D.C. is extremely nice and awesome.
- there is an increased amount of gay people compared to Jacksonville, especially gay men.
What made my day:
- A 50-years-old random woman that looked just like my aunt, approached us at the dinning table at the Chinese restaurant we were eating at, and asked us SEVERAL times (more than 5 times to be precise) to join her and her date to take 'Sake-bombs'. After refusing her offer several times, she decided to come and seat at our table and talk about how awesome Venezuelan people are. I adored her. She definitely made my day! and night of course!
It's been a long busy day. Full of work, plane rides, long walking, and meeting new people. I am now off to my beauty sleep.
Pics of my day to follow.
Lova ya!

Mini Road Trip
Alright! Tomorrow at 3:20pm my little road trip begins! I'm flying to Washington D.C. this weekend to go see Barcelona play against Manchester and plan on doing some sightseeing at the big capital as well. Then, I'm scheduled to come back down to Jacksonville on Monday at 8pm, to then flight again on Tuesday at 6am to the BIG APPLE! NYC!
This all started back in May when I decided to do something spontaneous and bought myself a ticket to go see Barca play. Turns out that just two days away from my flight to Washington, I get an e-mail saying I had won the Christina Perri contest to go to her concert in NYC! I knew I had signed up for the contest but come'on! I never win anything! well, this time I did... and I did it good! I won two plane tickets to NYC, $1000 gift card to FCUK, hotel reservation at a Manhattan Hotel, and two VIP tickets for Christina Perri concert and wait for it... a "meet and greet" with her!!! I'm stoked, flabbergasted, amazed, and any other happy adjective you could imagine.
Right back to where I was before, this mini road trip that consist of: Jacksonville-Washington D.C. - Jacksonville - NYC - Jacksonville will begin tomorrow afternoon. I'll do my best to post at least my thoughts of the day, for the next four days. Now I'm off to sleep.
HAPPY DREAMS! AND HAPPY WEEKEND TO ALL!

The day
I don't even know what I will write on this.
I don't have anything planned or prepared for this.
I just know that I wanted to write down some of my feelings at this moment.
I have so many feelings right now that I don't even know how to express them
First of all, la Vinotinto lost tonight. Not fairly but they lost.
Also, today was a HUGE deal for me and my past, present, and future
Today I decided to come clean to my friends
I told them the truth and I let it all out, no lies or anything tonight.
Their response? all positive. which it scares me a little
No body wants to lose a friend after being honest about such an important aspect of your life.
But I still feel a little vulnerable and hesitant about the future and what's to come.
Sometimes I wish my life would have gone a little different before. I which I could been a little stronger in the past and fought for my beliefs and that way now I wouldn't have to deal with this anymore. But I guess not everything goes the way you planned. Life is perky that way.
I know what my past meant, and I know where I stand in the present. But I have no fucking idea where I lay in the future. No one knows, but at least they have goals and dreams. whereas right now I just don't know.
I am waiting for the moment to feel my life complete again. I am waiting for that someone to take me away. I am waiting for my future to come and rescue me. Until then, I lay here in bed thinking about my self.
