Ata's manual

Hello Readers!


Recently a friend of mine told me, that she was reading my blog, she like some post, and dislike others!.. But what she really find interesting, is that and I'm quoting her "It seems like a manual to understand you"


As I told you on my first post (if anybody read it) I'm a different person... I don't act as an usual girl, I have my own way to see life, and I'm not afraid of saying what's on my mind!.. For example, yesterday I was mad, and angry, today I was totally happy and positive... Is not like I'm bipolar, it's just that for me a problem shouldn't last more than a couple of ours, if it does, it completely freak me out!


If I really had to write a manual of how I am, I would say that I'm not complicated, but i'm not easy, I'm just different, and If you learn how to treat me, you'll love me!! (Ego growing here hahaha) I could say that, the world is used to windows, and I'm a mac!!


Here I left you some quotes that might describe me, and maybe they can describe you as well... After all, if you're reading my blog, you're not too different from me, and this manual could be also yours!

"Maybe I'm not awesome... Anyway I'm not even trying!"

"Life's too short to be with an asshole!"

"Never sacrifice who you are just because someone else has a problem with it."

"If I had learn something about life, I can resume it in 3 words: It goes on!"

"I'm not in love, I'm just happy with him! If that's love... So be it!"

"I'm not losing my time with you... I'm spending it!"

If you wanna stay inspired... Ignore the qst "what's the point?"

Today's song --> I need new songs so... There's not a today's song

So this is it... A little more about me! Tell me about you... What quotes speak for you? C ya tomorrow with a new post!!!

I hate Thursdays!!

Ugly new hair style, I'm angry, glasses forever, moneyless 

Hello readers!

I'm in a supper bad mood, first 'cause I hate my new look, I dyed my hair, and I look like a freaking zebra! I had an argue with a friend, I figurate out I can't get the operation (because I have a stupid thing in my eye), and I'm money less (Because I pay like 100$ for my ugly new look)

Ok... Actually this is not the first thursday that this kind of things happen to me, It's just like the worst day of the week, everything goes wrong for me at thursdays. I'm so mad and upset right now that I want to cry. I don't wanna get out of this room ever!

I think that bad luck, come to us 'cause we believe in it... I start thinking thursday was my unlucky day, like a year ago... For no reason, every thursday I used to be on a bad mood, watching tv, no new comments on facebook, fighting with my friends... Don't know but I wish I could change it, I had try to change my perspective from this day, but it simply doesn't work...

Today's song --> S.O.S - Good Charlotte

So this is it... If you have any advice come on... Don't be afraid I'm mad but I wont eat you!! C ya tomorrow with a new post!

Forgive and Forget

Hello readers!
Actually for me, is not forgive and forget... Is forget and forgive. My memory seems to be unuseful when I try to remember why was I mad at someone, It can be annoying for some people, I'm gonna show you an example:
Once, I was talking to a guy I was dating, and he started talking about other girls, it was awful, so I told him to stop, and he screamed at me, and I screamed back... It was terrible, few ours latter, he invited me out, and I went, I totally forgot about the argue earlier...
Another example could be, that one time, I had a fight with a friend of mine, and she was really hurt and angry and I didn't want to talk to her anymore... Three days pass, and I call her like nothing ever happened, she was really angry... People get angry when you don't say I'm sorry, but the truth is, I don't say I'm sorry 'cause I always forget what should I be sorry for, or why were we fighting haha...

For me it seems kind of stupid, I'm not a spiteful person, not because I don't want to haha it's because I can't... For a while I was writing a diary, so that way I could learn about my mistakes or things... But after a little while, I forget about writing the diary... I'm a mess with that!! And people always take too seriously all the troubles they had, that if you forget about them, they get angry...

SORRY PEOPLE OUT THERE!!! I didn't say I was sorry, cause I forget we had a fight!!!

My messy room

Hello readers!

Today I decided to clean my room... Well not to clean it with soap and water, I mean to put some order on it. 

Sometimes when my head is a mess, I have to clean my room just to put in order things, to think a little bit... For example, yesterday I was like really nervous with all the things coming up... The trip, moving out, the operation, leaving Venezuela... Things! 

I decide to clean it up, and that way I just got rid of all the unuseful things I was keeping, just because sometimes is hard to let the past pass! 

Many notebooks, diaries, close and other things that we accumulate throw the years! I'm gonna be honest, I just put away like 2 garbage bags, But I could have throw more things, a lot, like 5 or 6 bags! But it's the first time y clean my messy room this year... Let's take it easy, I don't wanna regret tomorrow that I throw away something that I wanted... 

So my advice to you is, when you feel afraid of letting the pass go, clean up your room, get raid of all those things you don't need anymore, the memories are in your head, you don't have to keep it in your room, and not because you keep them, they're coming back...

New eyes?

Hello readers!
As you might now, i'm moving to Spain pretty soon (September) and I don't wanna go blind... And by blind I mean that I wear glasses!! I need them, I really can't see anything without them, if you know anything about photography you'll know what's an aperture f3.5 well if you don't, the picture behind this will show you how I usually see if I don't wear my glasses or my contacts.

So when I planed to move out, I wasn't thinking about my eyes at all, but now, I went to the doctor and I talked with my family, because I don't want to wear glasses anymore, I want to get operated from myopia (I have a -6) and that's a lot!!

But at the same time, it's kind of dangerous to make such a delicate intervention before traveling. I really don't know what I should do, I just know that for me, getting raid of the myopia would be the best of the best... I don't know what to do, but anyway do you know what's ironic?? This blog's name is The way I see it... And I don't see a shit thing hahaha

Today's song --> Blinded by the light - Manfred Mann's

So this is it... I still have the doubt haha... C ya tomorrow with a new less selfish post!!!

I (heart) junk food!

It's from a year ago... But is related to the post and I took it :p

Hello readers!!
Today, I was talking with myself, thinking about all those campaigns against junk food... In my opinion, of course eating too much fries (chips in UK) is not good for anyone, but at the same time, if you eat too much of anything it wont be healthy ether!! Even water... So I think the campaigns should talk about things you also should eat, like fruits or veggies, and that things. Because "hello" I have a right! I'm a free person, and I don't want anyone to tell me what I must eat. Eating junk food once in a while won't hurt me, or you, or anyone... I eat fast food once a week and I'm not fat! This is my top 5 restaurants of not always so  fast food!!
1) McDonalds
2) Burger king
3) Taco Bell (If we had that in Venezuela)
4) Subway
5) Pizza Hut

So this is it... Be happy, eat healthy, but take a little rest once in a while... C ya tomorrow with a new post!!!

Eau de Parfum!

Hello readers!!

Today's post is about perfumes!! I just came up with this idea when I visit this blog Pandora's box this morning!! That girl posted something about the good, the bad and the ugly..! I recommend you to read it...

So today... I decide to post pictures with all my perfumes and how does they make me feel... So maybe this could be an advice for girls, 'cause some times, there's so many perfumes that is hard to choose it! And for boys... If you're planing to give a present to any girl... Maybe the way I see it can be useful!

Venezuelan prom!

My sister and her BF at prom

Hello readers!
Yesterday I was on my sister prom... She's graduating from high school, so we had been going to formal events since monday. But, the big thing was yesterday... I'm talking about the party!!!

It was in a huge ballroom, all the girls were wearing long dresses and all the boys were in tuxedos. The food was spectacular, they had all kind of liquors, the music, the sound, the people, it was all supper nice. But, I really don't think that you know how's a prom in Venezuela... Let me explain you...

First, you have to book the ballroom a year earlier, Why? Because it's the best ballroom in Caracas "La Esmeralda" (The Emerald) and everybody wants it! It's big enough to fit 700 people (More or less the number of people there)
Then you got to do all the plans about the food, the security, the beverage... But i really don't know a lot about it...

Anyway, to get to the party you had to buy the invitation 500 bsF (150 us $) and the invitation will be request in the door! By the security guards. If you don't have it, you wont enter... They don't want un-invitated people)

The party supposed to start at 8, but of course everybody get there at 10:30... If you get there at 8 you'll look like a desperate person or something, in Venezuela is actually rude to be on time!

When you get there, and go throw the security scanner, you find the photographers (4 or 5 with their huge cameras and flashes) there you have your 5 minutes of fame... Flashes, lights and everything the graduating needs to shine!

Inside, in the ballroom, every family gets a table, with your name on it, pretty nice... And the waitress coming and going, with shelves full of the most delicious food you can imagine!

The party would last till 5 am in the morning, when all the graduates are kind of drunk, because here, it doesn't matter if you're underage (17 mostly) they all gonna drink, and their parents know, and it's ok, not big deal, and I'm not talking about beer NOT! I'm talking about whiskey and rum!! All the parents actually payed a lot to have liquor at the party!

The music, the lights, the dresses... Pictures everywhere, you cry, you scream, you dance, you fool around... That's a prom in Venezuela...

So tell me how's it in your country...

Today's song --> Graduation song - Vitamin C

Baby time!

Hello readers!!
Today (just like 5 minutes ago) I was in the pharmacy with my sister... And when we were about to pay for the new makeup and stuff, we saw those candies in my picture...

We both look at them and laugh, because when we were little girls, my mom didn't like to buy those kind of candies! Because of the dyes, and acid flavors. But this time, I said to my self: "I'm old enough to have my own credit card, so I can buy the Baby Pops!" For a moment, I felt like I was doing what I wanted (Yeah I'm a bad girl... Buying candies muaaahahaha) not... But I was happy enough to lock myself in the car, with Ale (my sister) by my side, and start eating the Baby Pop... We were acting like babies... But those small things, usually are the greatest things in life...

Today's song --> Soul sister - Train

So this is it... An small post for a small but meaning full thing!! C ya tomorrow with a new more reflexive post!!!

Vacations!

Hello readers!
This days, I was on my friend's beach house... That's why I had no time to post new things!
Summer is here, you can feel it, (it's really warm) you can smell it (it smells like a mix of sea water, Copertone and Doritos), you can see it (many people sunbathing everywhere, wearing shorts and sandals, changing their hair color...)

So the last couple of days I went to my friend house, it was awesome, just the girls... I was kind of scared about it, Sometimes I really think I prefer being with guys rather than with girls, but this one was not the case, it was pretty nice actually, and I think we all enjoy the moment.
My plans for this vacations are really familiars, if I'm moving out in September, I wanna spend most of the time with my parents and my sister... A beach day with them as I posted recently...

Tell me what are your plans for this summer vacations... Are you planing to travel? Or would you stay home?

Don't avoid reality

That's my sister old pic but she looks like she's dealing with some troubles
so I tell her DONT AVOID REALITY!

Hello readers!!
As you might now, every morning, when I wake up, I send a "morning quote" to all my blackberry contacts. Today's quote was: "You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality" 


Sometimes, we are just so full of reality that we want to scape, and act as if you're living a simple life, but, that doesn't mean that your life is gonna be simple, maybe, because of that, your life might turn more complicated because your avoiding your responsibilities. For example if I act like I'm not leaving Venezuela, as this were normal summer vacations, that wont help me, maybe if I take that attitude I'll end supper stress with hundred of things to do in the end of the summer, or even worse, maybe the consequence of avoiding my reality, take me to loose this chance of going to Spain!

I know It sounds a little too serious for me, and for the common of my older posts, but I really think that avoiding the reality for more than 1 hour, can cause serious damages to the rest of your life.

Today's song --> I'm not afraid - Eminem

So this is it!! C ya (not tomorrow 'cause I'm going to the beach) but, friday with a new more freedom-style post!

Every great film should seem new every time you see it.

Hello readers! Last night I went to bed really late, ‘cause I was watching a movie in Cuevana. After it was finish I realized that I already knew what was about to happen, it was kind of sad, so it made me think… Why do we watch movies that we already know the end? I can’t tell you I’ll stop watching them, ‘cause is not truth, after all, those movies have something that I like, an unreal ending, a fairy tail end…

But speaking of great movies, those that really change something deep inside like: Titanic, Life is beautiful, The little princess (Click for a summary)

Those are movies that has something magical, maybe they make you cry, maybe thy make you think, or change something of yourself.

My favorite movie from those I already mention before is:

The little princess <-- Click to watch it. I don’t know maybe it’s the music, the story (I’m obsess with orphans), the photography, (every scene can be a beautiful photograph) I don’t know. I just know it has something that makes it my favorite movie from all times.

Do you have a favorite noncommercial-movie? Tell me about it

Today's song --> My heart will go on - Celine Dion

The greatest weakness of all is the great fear of appearing weak

Do you think you’re strong enough to say to the world what’s your weakness? 

I’m not! Many times I had think about this… Maybe all my problems are there, just because I’m not strong enough to say, accepted and overcome my persona issue.

Yesterday I was watching The Glee Project on Fox… And they where singing this song “Mad World”. That for some reason, every time I hear it I can’t avoid crying. In the show, the guys were wearing big signs with their weakness written. And I though, if I were on the show, I’d had to lie about it.

Being insecure is not good for anyone, it makes you do stupid things sometimes, make the wrong decisions, or even do things you don’t wanna do, just because you’re afraid.

For my own happiness I can say that, I’m not alone, I know that! Everybody has something to hide. And I’m not talking about something material, I’m talking about feelings, emotions, way to see the world, perspective, their past or their future.

If all of us were a little bit more tolerant, maybe this could be a happier world, but that’s just how I see it…

Today’s song is: Mad World --> Gary Jules

So this is it… C ya tomorrow with a new post!

Beach day!

Hello readers!!
Today I went to the beach with my family... It was a family trip, but not one of those pretty boring trips, noo... This one was amazing... And I have pictures to prove it...

This is "La Tortuga" an Island in Venezuela!!

Today's song --> Sun is shinning - Bob Marley

So this is it... C ya tomorrow with a new post!!!

I'd pay to do it!

This was not one of the pictures, but I don't have the rights of the pictures,
but I also edit, and took this one (That's my sister)

Hello readers!!
Today's post isn't about something I'm thinking about or anything... Today's post is about doing what you love to do and get paid for it!

I don't know if I had mention it before, but I always work with photoshop... Just for fun, I edit my own pictures, I change the color of them, I change the people on the background and those kind of stuff... But I'm not saying I do this once in a year, noo... I do this a lot, with almost all my pictures, because it's something I enjoy doing...

So the other day I was in the car with a friend of my uncle, and she told me, she was really worried about some photographs that should be edited for the next week, I'm not a very outgoing person, but I told her "I work on photoshop, if you want to I can try" She say yes, and I did it!! It wasn't that hard... At least It wasn't hard for me, I really enjoy doing it.

So today, I got paid, and I had so much fun doing the work that I could it do it for free!.. Of course I'm glad that I didn't 'cause now I can buy some new things :D But I was thinking, that's the kind of job everyone should do... Something that you'll do for free!

Today's song --> Por la boca vive el pez - Fito y los fitipaldis (It's an spanish song)

So this is it... I'm really happy and c ya tomorrow with a new post!!!

I wanna go back!

Hello readers...

This time I won't say yesterday, or last night, or a while ago... I'm gonna say right now!! 

Right now I was thinking of how old I have become... And I'm not talking about gray hair (thanks God I'm only 21!!) I'm talking about that I was thinking about my past and all those beautiful moments I lived and now, they are just memories (Lucky me, my dad used to film everything so I can see how my life used to be).

 

I remember things that, supposed to be normal, not amazing things, just the day by day... I remember when my grandma Teresa used to pick me up in my english lessons, and we walked back home eating sugar bread. 

I remember when I played with the legos in my nonna's house (Nonna is grandma in italian)... I remember my Nonno calling me "bella" and hiding cinnamon gum, but no to hide that I couldn't find it!

I remember my piano lessons, my ballet classes, my first school... I remember watching cinderella 3 times in one day... 

I remember so many things that made my life so happy... That some times I just wanna travel back in time to those years. I'm not saying my life isn't wonderful right now... Because it is! I'm just saying that time goes by so fucking fast... One day you're playing with Barbie's car, and the next day you're driving your own one!! 

So my advice to you is... Don't waste your time, live your life fully and try to remember everything like it is, 'cause one day, what seems to be for ever is gonna get to the end..!

Today's song --> The scientist - Cold play

So this is it... C ya tomorrow with a new happier post!!

Sunday morning!

Hello readers...
Do you know, I just realized how many things I'm gonna miss from here, it doesn't mean I don't wanna leave, and live my life, no... It means things like this are the little details we forget to give thanks of...

For example, today's post is not much about reading, I'm just gonna put the pictures I took of the last typical sunday morning in my house, family time, a thing, that I'll miss where ever I am!!!

So yeah... That's how my sundays looks like... And that's why I'm gonna miss them!!

Today's song --> Tonight tonight - Hot Chelle Rae
