"Estoy tan enojada. Sólo quisiera gritar; gritar y llorar, y llorar tanto que mis lágrimas se unieran en una inmensa y poderosa ola, y que esa ola se uniera a las olas de llanto del resto de los guatemaltecos honestos, que como yo merecen un mejor país; y que el furioso océano de nuestra tristeza y desesperación ahogue a todos nuestros abusadores, opresores y verdugos. Eso quisiera." -RWT

He estado en Nueva York por poco más de un mes, y tengo que decir, esta ciudad me encanta. Lo que sí me preocupa es que si ya el tiempo es cruel y pasa demasiado rápido en todos lados, en NYC es peor. Me da miedo despertar un día y darme cuenta que el tiempo se me acaba, que como me aseguraba mi papá cuando íbamos a la barra a ver al atardecer, la vida es como un puño lleno de arena; por más que apretes, y querras mantenerla, se te escapa.

When I first met you I was in love.
I was in love, for the first time, and so was he.
I looked at you, looking at me, and we both smiled: the beginning of us. Us it feels strange to say it, even today, but oh! How many times have I embraced the idea, the dream, the wish: (us) in my heart.
That night, as I teasingly flirted with the thought of planting a rose seed right in the middle of my already bloomed- self, I saw you again. It was then I inevitably kept your smell, as I started to miss your taste. It was then your touch was permanently en

Hace días, semanas, que pienso en ti.
Me pregunto qué queres decirme,
desde dónde me buscas, me llamas,
o es que te llamo yo a ti?
Sólo sé que te extranno,
en los días en que caigo presa de la realidad,
allí cuando la cruda justicia de la vida se hace obvia,
allí me encuentro ansiando tu presencia.
Llenaste mi vida de luz...
tu llama encendió un fuego dentro de mí,
un fuego, tan fuerte, que ni aún la tormenta de tu partida
ni el viento de tu ausencia,

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going directly to Heaven, we were all going the other way." -Charles Dickens
I had a night of inspiration about a week ago- it was wonderfully refreshing and enlightening. So much had been inside my mind and my heart for a long time and yet I felt I

¿Dónde estás?
¿En dónde estás?
Busco la luz de tu mirada
en las tinieblas que han invadido,
que se han instalado,
que habitan,
tus ahora marchitos ojos.
El tiempo pasa
y tú te vas acomodando en otro lugar,
un lugar de sombras, inaccesible,
desconocido, cerrado.
Tú,
cada vez más lejos de mí,
de nosotros,
de este mundo.
Yo,
sin poder comprender,
menos aún aceptar,
el que no estés, estando.

Hay una canción de Alexander Acha que me encanta, se llama "Te amo". Ésta, al inicio dice:
"amo toda tu figura; modelo de lo increíble; belleza y virtud en una..."
y cada vez que la oigo pienso que a mí me parece que belleza y virtud son una misma cosa. Aunque en realidad, el concepto de "belleza" es todavía más relativo que el de "virtud", y generalmente, mucho más parcializado y materializado.
Me puse a pensar en lo que es la "belleza". Por lo general, la reacción inmediata es relacionar la belleza con lo fí

The YouTube Symphony Orchestra is truly a fantastic idea:
"Traditionally, auditioning for an orchestra means appearing alone onstage in a nerve-jangling performance before grizzled veteran musicians. In the Google way, it means posting on the companys video-sharing site, YouTube, for online judging by the professionals and then, ultimately, the YouTube universe."
-Daniel J. Wakin for New York Times (December 1st, 2008)
This special project proves not only that YouTube is evolving into a more serious video sharing website but, most importantly, that it is actual

Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter can be said to remedy anything.
Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. quotes (American Writer, b.1922)
Disappointment is defined as "the feeling of dissatisfaction that follows the failure of expectations to manifest" according to wikipedia. And tonight, under a beautiful-round-yellow-full-moon (probably looking the most beautiful i've ever seen it)that's exactly how I feel. Disappointed.
I realise I'm a very lucky person. There's not nearly enough reasons for me to be sad or feel bad about i

This film really shocked me- not only was I completely clueless about how endangered sharks currently are, all over the world, but I was also unaware of how important they are to life on earth.
I had never been specially fond of sharks, but I couldn't help feeling outraged and saddened by how savagely human beings are acting in the ocean, not respecting life under or above the water. We're acting irresponsibly and unconsciously (and I say "we are" because if "we are" witnessing it but not preventing it "we are" allowing it and therefore "we are" also responsible).
How wrong shark fishing

did anyone get the title? haha it doesn't matter. I love this song... I could sing it all day long, with all my heart (every time).
Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
Now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's gonna to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Hoy la prensa anunciaba los doce años de existencia de "El Periódico". En ocasión de ello Jose Rubén Zamora, presidente del diario y guatemalteco empedernido, incluyó un especial titulado "Los demonios del Estado de visita en casa: crónica de un allanamiento".
El especial es de hecho una breve reflexión de desahogo personal y sentida denuncia (24 intensas páginas). Se trata principalmente el allanamiento que fue realizado en junio del año 2003 en casa de Zamora, en presencia de su familia y como un acto de abuso de poder, ilegalidad y que

Congratulations elected-President Barack Obama!!!
I'm happy with the results of today's presidential election- the world needs change, we need change. And this particular and historic moment will hopefully bring GOOD change to the United States and to the rest of the world, a present world were huge global problems are waiting to be solved.
I like to think this problems will soon be solved (or begin to truly be solved), and hopefully they will in creative, innovative and clever ways. That will be the start of new/better times.

Estas últimas semanas las he pasado en un estado mental y emocional algo "x" ("x" como en una ecuación, como algo indefinido). Sin razón alguna, o más bien por diversas razones, tan abstractas como concretas, me siento bastante frustrada y confundida. Una de las razones, una que es más colectiva que particular, es la condición moral que la sociedad guatemalteca refleja.

I'm walking the streets of Madrid in a hot summer afternoon and life is beautiful. And then, there it is, staring at me...the frightened look of a boy that couldn't be over the age of fifteen in a poster that expressed the feel of yet another nation that, in the 21st century, dreams of becoming an independent state.

Last Tuesday I gave my first lecture ever. It was pretty exciting, although I felt a bit nervous at first.
The subject was very extensive and that made it scarier. "The Political, Economic and Social Situation of Central America and The Caribbean". I felt pretty confident talking about Central America, but not so much when it came to the Caribbean, for two reasons: a) The Caribbean includes over sixteen countries (it depends on the criteria taken into account), while Central America only six or maybe even seven (if you include Panama). I'm Centralamerican, and my education has always been a bit Centr

I'm so happy. Today is a memorable day for Colombia and the rest of the world. An outstanding woman, among about fifteen other people, got her life back today.
Ingrid Betancourt was kidnapped by the Colombian FARC guerrilla over six years ago. Recent photos, a letter and a video gave no hope of her survival. I have no doubt this was an incredibly tough experience to survive...I imagine even she wondered, for the over two thousand days she was kept captive in the middle of the Colombian jungle, if she was going make it.
I can't even imagine how horrible it must be to have your life take

And, just like that, July comes upon us with its heavy rains and beautiful afternoons! Every time a new month begins, I feel excited, it's like a little New Year's Eve for me. Related to that is my next thought, which is...I'm glad I'm a woman.
I was talking to a good friend on the phone the other night. We talked for a long time, just like we used to when we were in high school. The subject was pretty usual amongst girls: we were talking about love and about boys...about loving boys. I was pointing out how I thought that when it came to relationships, and life in general (except for the -could be- n

Religion is a mechanism through out which people intend to connect to God.
God is humanly indecipherable, but generally speaking, God is everything that is good.
We humans only know love and kindness through ourselves, through our human relations. Therefore, I think it would be correct to describe God as everything that is good in ourselves: truth, love, respect, compassion, solidarity, kindness.
History shows Religion has been the cause of many God-opposite human actions. In the name of God, people have done all sorts of injustices and cruelties for centuries, and continue

Immigration. South-North/East-West.
I've been an immigrant, and I'll tell you, it didn't feel like it was a good thing. I've always been a bit naive, and when i moved to Spain en 2005 i expected the experience to be something like the one i had had in Minnesota, when i was 13 and then when i was 15, as a middle and high school exchange student.
Of course being a teenage foreign exchange student isn't the same as being a university exchange student, and of course it isn't anything like being a middle-aged unemployed desperate undocumented immigrant. But I still imagined my year-stay in S

it has been raining for days and it's not expected to stop any time soon. i have nothing against rain -especially on a lazy Sunday-, but the truth is that with every drop my heart aches thinking of all the people that are endangered by the rising rivers and the loosened soil. Guatemalan homes, especially in the rural areas, are not exactly what you would call safe or strong. not at all.
as the saying goes, "it's raining over wet soil" (I'm not sure that's the correct translation), because there are so many other issues Guatemalan people are concerned about right now...the number one being their empty

I'm a bit late in reporting the news, but I wasn't able to find the time to write in the last couple of weeks. Sorry
During the week that went from May 5th to 11th the situation in Guate City was pretty tense. Due to nonconformity to the City's Mayor Álvaro Arzú Policy on heavy transport vehicles transit hours restrictions (established as an attempt to reduce traffic on rush hour) vehicles transporting fuel and gas to the city were kept out by a heavy transport pilots' strike for almost the whole week.
Whilst in 2004 the restrictions were set from 6.00 to 8.30 and from 17.0

I've never been pro-fur but I was never really against it either. I guess I usually find myself in a grey neutral place trying not to judge people too much, and this was the case with animal fur.
But I knew I wouldn't wear it. Never. Not me. And after watching this video (which I didn't entirely...I couldn't) I am pretty much against it. At least against fur coming from Chinese fur farms.
I guess there is a big difference between fur coming from animals being practically tortured to fur coming from animals who are being...how to say it..."well treated"...it's hard to be completely ok w

Ok- this isn't about making fun of anyone. I am sure I would be ridiculous trying to sing in Bulgarian. But...I MUST admit this video is hilarious! Pretty creative girl Valentina Hassan, actually.
"Without you" is one of the most romantic songs ever...! Mariah Carey's interpretation isn't half bad either
Valentina Hassan's first performance was great. A lot of people made fun of it, including me I admit, but if you don't pay too much attention to the lyrics, you see she's totally in rhythm. Afterwards, she learned the lyrics better

"The Seven Year Itch" was directed by Billy Wilder (1955) and it was a huge success.
Great movie on naivety, love and fidelity. Loved Marilyn Monroe's performance. She's just beautiful!
This is probably my favourite part of the movie:
