6th grade memories...

When I was in 6th grade our group went to a camp in Julian, California.
tbh I don't remember much but I do remember that on the first day there we went for a hike.
I took a disposable camera because they didn't allowed digital cameras which in that time they weren't that big of a deal yet, at least not for a sixth grader... Anyway I just found these digital versions of the pictures that I decided to develop.

This picture is from the way back home.

The sad part of the story is that I got a lil' wet when we were near the lake and we weren't that close to the camp. When we got there we all took a shower, but we only had like 4 minutes each to shower because for some reason those were the rules at camp, no long showers and changing as fast as you could wherever you could... anyway, I'm not exactly sure why it happened or if any of those incidents were the cause but the next morning I had fever... I spent the whole day with the nurse until my parents were able to pick me up because Tylenol did not help me at all. 

Even though I was there for about 2 days (1 of them inside an isolated room) while my friends spent like 3 or 4, actually doing camp activities, I was glad I had to experience that place and was able to take a few pictures. It was also very cute that my best friend at the moment had gone to visit me and left a note saying she hoped I'd get better (I was sleeping and didn't see her), it let me know she cared.

Appreciation Post

So I went to Yosemite National Park, for the second time in my life, and holy crap it's beautiful!  I decided to dedicate this post to nature because it just amazes me how some people think they're the greatest shits in the world but in reality, they're absolutely nothing in this world. Once you take away all materialistic belongings you realize you have and are nothing. So enjoy your life now, not for how much money you have but for what you get to see in this moment, because one day your soul will be gone and God knows where you will end up at. (either your soul or body)

I really don't have anything this week except this pictures of a cultural event I attended. Enjoy <3

Confidence 101

I am not the best to talk about this. I cannot say I am not an insecure person, but I can say that I accept myself. Being happy with one self is difficult, we somehow let other people influence our ideas and so they change often and we want to change ourselves. First, explore yourself and recognize good and bad things about you. Now, this is not what other people think is good and bad about you, it's what YOU think and what YOU know brings problems in your life. Work on the things you don't like so you're happy about yourself and if you can't change it easily, LEARN to accept it. Understand you can't please everyone, there will always be someone talking and you can't prevent that. I do have some "rules" that I try to follow:

1) Do what makes YOU happy
This of course, as long as it's not offensive to other people and you are not harming them.

2) Don't take anything personal.
When you know your virtues and vices what other people think about you is irrelevant. Also, remember beauty is abstract so there is people who think you are gorgeous, beautiful, alright or even ugly but in the end it just a matter of opinions that are all different from each other.

3)Don't make guesses of what other people think
This is something hard for me. I'm always wondering what other people might say or what they're thinking but then I try to control my thoughts by remembering rules one and two, Does it make me happy? probably yes otherwise I wouldn't do it, and does it really matter what they think? most likely no.

4) Do everything with passion
This is just to make everything worth whatever comments it receives. Like we say in marketing "there's no bad publicity"

There really isn't much to confidence, but it really is hard to obtain it. It's important to know confidence starts with the hardest judge of all, YOURSELF. Like I mentioned before is just a matter of accepting who you are and knowing (and not caring) that other people have to deal with the way you are. Also if it's something you know you can change, then DO IT! but do it for yourself not to please other people who might not even be important in your life in a matter of time. Make peace and be good with yourself and everyone else won't matter.

Congrats Mexicali!

On Saturday March 7th we celebrated Mexicali's 112th year as a city. The event was full of cumbia and people ready to dance with our local cumbia bands.

First: LatinoZon (almost an all girl band)

Then; La Sucursal de la Cumbia

Finally: Selena Vive, a tribute to the queen Selena!

Seeing all those people from all ages dancing and enjoying themselves made me wonder if other countries celebrate like us Mexicans do, dancing!! I hope they do, because there isn't anything better than to relax the body and let it all go to the rhythm of some good music.
