End of the project

Dec, 5th/2019

This is my twentyfifth moment of gratitude. There's not a better way to close this blog. What a Semester! I couldn't have been prouder of my final english project. I'm not really into arts or things like this, but, I can say I did a marvelous job and I feel so satisfied with what came out of my mind. It's been a heck of a ride among incredible beings that supported me and worked with me in this last task. I'll always be grateful with this...

Sunset

Dic, 3rd/2019

This is my twentyfourth moment of gratitude. I'm always thankful for these kind of landscapes, I feel that It's nice to be part of it, at least for a couple of minutes. This photo was taken by myself at home, and It is a shortlasting painting made in the sky, a mixture of two layers of orange and blue; I tried to witness every second of it, and I did it, so satisfied.

Potluck time

Dic, 2nd/2019

This is my twentythird moment of gratitude. An unforgetable potluck dinner and touching presentations by my classmtaes, were some sparks of beauty for me today. I enjoy moments like these when I get them and today paid it off. Shoutout to my teacher Mauricio Aldana, ¡thank you for letting us having such a great afternoon!

Fly on

Dec, 1st/2019

This is my twentysecond moment of gratitude:

"Blackbird singing in the dead of night,

Take these broken wings and learn to fly.

All your life,

You were only waiting for this moment to arise."

-The Beatles, Blackbird (1968).

All happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast.

(John Gunther, 1947)

This is my twentysecond moment of gratitude. Normally, I'm thankful for havind a dish of food in my dining room, but today it was something else, as you can see. Nothing left to say, It was super tasty tasty. Let's have a toast for breakfasts and meals like these, or not, everyday.

Self Assesments & expectations

Nov,28th/2019

This is my twentyfirst moment of gratitude. I know this picture is just my face but, I wanted to share because this photo tells how I've been feeling these days, and I just want to make a throwback of my life until today: I am satisfied, everything happens for a reason and I have to keep it in mind. Also, I'm doing impresively well lately, I try to get better in every aspect of my self and I'd like to keep it  that way. If anything wrong happens, I've got to learn from it and not to get stuck in the journey. Basically, I am grateful for what I've become and for what I will. I'm thrilled and I'll stay locked in.

Orion

Nov,27th/2019

This is my twentieth moment of gratitude. One of my favorite hobbies is playing the drums. As you already saw in the image, that's not a real one, is a  videogame drums called Guitar Hero. The thing is that playing this kind of "unreal" drums helps me a lot to improve my percussion level, and when I play the real drums, is the same because the mechanism and the structure is pretty alike, the difference is in the size and the magnitude of it. I expect to have my own drums at the beginning of 2020.

Tiny but glowing times

Nov,25th/2019

This is my nineteenth moment of gratitude. We were celebrating my sister in law's twenty fifth birthday. My mom prepared a meal, with empanadas and a strawberry cake. It was a fun night, and always a blessing to be there with this amazing people. Life comes at you fast, stay tuned.

Trust the process

 Nov,23th/2019

This is my eighteenth moment of gratitude. Regardless the disappointing events from yesterday and the day before yesterday that were a complete chaos, I cannot be prouder of this colombian people, each everyone of us made a stand to defend the little things that are still ours and that they can't take away from us: our dignity and our rights to moan, to protest what they want to take away from us... It's been a weird morning and I hope, from the bottom of my heart that we will work this out, if we stand, without war or violence, we can make it through. If we have to defend our house, we will, and I mean "house" by our country, our transportation, our food, our home, none of this will be taken for granted, I promise.

Projects ahead

Nov,20th/2019

This is my seventeenth moment of gratitude. I can say research about politics and stuff like that is not my cup of tea, but today in my Spanish class I found pretty interesting and thought-provoking the fact that I learnt a lot about an important historic event in Colombian history that really shocked me. It was in the National library of Bogotá and this big painting was there, a part of this day that I really enjoyed to be honest.

Schedule

Nov, 18th/2019

This is my sixteenth moment of gratitude. Today I organized my schedule. I ecided to make like a "To-do list" in the wall of my bedroom, where I put my tiny and daily goals, the things that work for me as a reminder, quotes that are my "Mottos" and even hobbies or workouts that I need to keep practicing. Nothing else to say, I feel grateful right now.

Uplifting my day

Nov, 17th/2019

This is my fifteenth moment of gratitude. To be honest, I've not been really commited with my relationship with Christ. Today, I didn't go to church, that doesn't make me a sinner or something like that, but it feels kind of bad, because yesterday I did some stuff and I had no excuse for that. So, I just woke up with the determination of having a private moment in His presence, watching a video in Youtube, a preach, and it really uplifted my soul. He answered some questions, I prayed and thanked Him for everything. As you all can see, this is NOT religion, is not something imposed by anybody, it was this guilty feeling that I felt and off course it was for a reason. God already gave me the reason why, and not because I didn't go to church today, but for some things in my life that are not what they must be. 

14th/Jan/2019

Nov,14th/2019

This is my fourteenth moment of gratitude. It's a tough day and date, since almost a year ago my best friend passed away. As you can see in the photo, that was the last moment that we spent time together, I'm just not feeling so good today, the fact that I have to remember this date is not something that I have planned to do, this should've never happenned, but it is what it is. We had a lot of things prepared to do this year and it didn't go that way. I just miss him so much, I pretend that I'm good but he was one of the most important people in my life, and he's gone, How can I answer that?

Anyways, that necklace you see in the second photo was the one we both wore; it's like a wing, that represents that he flew away but he comes back everytime I wear it. THIS IS WHO I REALLY AM, THIS MADE ME SOMEONE ELSE, SOMEONE DIFFERENT.
"I'm going to stay with you 'till the end of the line, I love you so much Costa, and you don't know how much I miss you. It's kinda useless to say this, you will never see this post"... I actually wanted to type something else, but I just can't...

A day with my mom at home

Nov, 13th/219

This is my thirteenth moment of gratitude. Today, I re-organized my house with my mommy; we changed the living room, my computer and other things more of place, as well as washed every corner. The most satisfying of it all was that we danced like crazy and sang out loud, we had so much fun. Moments with my mom make me be a more sensitive person with others, and live these moments like they would never come back, even knowing that they will. Thank God for my mom. I hope someday you might see this and realize again and again that I love you so.

"It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas"

Nov, 12th/2019

This is my twelveth moment of gratitude. I know it may be a little too early to put together the christmas tree, but my brother just bought it today and I couldn't help it. Christmas is the most important holiday in my family, since is the time when we all spend time together, eat cookies, candies and turkey, along with the giving presents that is an essential part as well. I just love this time of the year, so I can officially say that the 2019 farewell tour starts today (¡!).

The beauty of simplicity

Nov, 11th/2019

This is my eleventh moment of gratitude. Today was a very normal day, but in the afternoon, my brother bought me a McDonald's burguer and fries. I know that this is not the healthiest meal in the world but honestly, It's been a while since I ate my last hamburguer of McDonald's, so for me, it was a good gift, and I was grateful with him for that simple thing.

Sculpture time

Nov, 10th/2019

This is my tenth moment of gratitude. Today I was finishing one of my University projects and of the english class. I'm going to present an "Alebrije" made by miself, with a story and stuff, along my classmates and in front of the university or people from other places. I've been having trouble with making the structure of the figure, because I'm not that creative. But today was different, I just started playing with it and messing with my own mind though, and I finally had the structure, obviously it's not done yet, I still need to work on the head and the colors. So, more than grateful, ¡I'm proud of myself!

Days in His presence

Nov, 9th/2019

Today is my ninth moment of gratitude. It's always a blessing for me to be able to go to church, praise The Lord's name with my friends, in the way He deserves it, since He gives me everything I need. Reading The Bible is something I don't do that oftenly, but God is helping me out to start doing it, and off course, my determination is also key in that process.This is the most important part of me, Christ, and even though I'm not perfect, I know that He knows I'm trying to be as correct as I can.

A sky full of dreams

Nov, 8th/2019

This is my eighth moment of gratitude. Sometimes, when I need to think about my life, things that are going on and my future, I get on the roof and see the sky, completely clear, but full of hope and expectation. These are the moments where I really feel in peace, where the only sound I hear is the wind going back and forth, touching you and telling you things. That big tree has been alongside me since as long as I can remember, and the moon appears just on top of it sometimes. Now, it's part of me ever since. That's just lovely, and I feel grateful that God created these unexplainable landscapes that make you feel that way.

Memories

Nov, 6th/2019

This is my seventh moment of gratitude. Yesterday evening I was taking the bus that take me home, when all of a sudden I met with two of me best friends in high school. It was pretty nice because I hadn't seen them since 2017, so we talked about lots of things, we laughed and remembered some good moments that we shared together. That's what life's about.

Showing off a little bit

Nov, 5th/2019

This is my sixth moment of gratitude. Today was an important thing going on at college called "Unicultural". A semi-annual event focused on the students, their talents or what they've done; for instance: Researchs, dances, presentations of any type, etc... Almost at the end, I participated in the karaoke part, where I sang a song and, as you see in the picture and the video, I got a prize, a little plant. It was unexpected since I never thought I'd get something out of that spontaneous performance. I really liked it, I was pretty nervous, but I wanted to know how that would feel like. It was a fun day, and I felt grateful for it.

Growing in number

Nov, 4th/2019

This is my fifth moment of gratitude. Today I celebrated my older brother's baby shower since he and his wife are going to give birth their first son, and therefore, my second nephew who is called Samuel. You don't know how emotional I was today, it's like "the big deal" in my family and for me specially. I'm very grateful for this because my brother has gone through a lot of pain, stress and depression for having a kid, it's been really tough. But, he put his faith in Christ, realizing that our desires and wishes are not planned or managed by us and our time, but by God and His time. (I don't have the photo of this moment righ now, but I'll post it as soon as I can). It's a picture of my brother, part of my family, and Samuel, off course.

Ball Is Life.

Nov, 3rd/2019

This is my fourth moment of gratitude. One of the things I love doing the most is to play Basketball. Today, It was a complete sunny day and I tried to take advantage of it and go practicing a little bit. You can't even imagine how valuable is this court for me; here I've witnessed and enjoyed so many memories with an special person that is not here with me anymore. So, I kind of thought It would be nice if I went there and let it all out, to remind myself where I belong and where I feel at home, and off course, keep remaining some memorabilia that will live forever in my soul. Thank you Lord for another day in this ground.

A rainy day

Nov, 2nd/2019

This is my third moment of gratitude. One of the things that I really enjoy doing is to listen to music while looking at water drops falling down through the window. And today was special, It was 3:30 p.m and I was listening a song called "Warning Sign" by Coldplay; this song always takes me to another melancholic places in the past and in rainy days are even more overwhelming. My garden is another good part of it, and I just look at all of these things as a whole and at the same time, I look at myself, as well as the things that I've done and the things I haven't.

My G's messing around

Nov, 1st/2019

This is my second moment of gratitude. This picture was taken yesterday noon. Right after class, my classmates and I went out to eat some snacks before we leave, and these kind of moments are always pretty treasured by me, since we do that almost everyday: We exchange opinions, get acquainted between us a little bit more in every talk and that is what friends are about. While I was taking this photo, I thought to myself: "¡Dang it! these moments are worth to have framed and we always pass them by".

An anormal day in the bus stop

October 31st/2019

This is my first moment of gratitude. As you can see, this pic was taken last Thursday, but I couldn't upload it that day. It was almost 6 in the morning, it was cold but at the same time, the sun started rising slowly. This is the same place where I take the bus every morning to go to college. But that day I realized how wonderful this place is: A lot of green everywhere and a big tree on the left that I stared for a while, and with that blue sky, It was like a "way out" for everything that would come after, you know: Transportation.
