Cooking Moments- brought to you by ME.

Let me tell you how I cooked Filet Mignon for him the other night and it was great! However, due to this I now think I am a chef and all I want to do is look into recipe ideas and start cooking! This, for those who really know me, is very unlike me! I don't ever spend much time in the kitchen, unless it's to throw in a TV dinner in the microwave- and even then there has been moments I over cook that! The most I ever cooked is spaghettis with ground turkey (and yes it does taste awesome!)- but that's it, it stops there. Everything else is simply delivered or cooked by my grandmother. However, two weeks ago I decided I wanted to cook something for him that I have never cooked before... I mean after all, a way to a man's heart is through his stomach. So after walking around the market and realizing the only thing I knew how to cook is ground turkey spaghettis I realized I was screwed. I quickly picked up the phone and called one of my sisters- Sara. She started throwing out ideas and I started quickly declining them. She then mentioned Shrimp Alfredo. Sounded easy enough- so, I bought the ingredients needed and started to cook. He enjoyed it!! This past week- I was craving steak and so Filet Mignon came to mind. After asking many on advice on how to cook this tender steak and getting different answers from everyone- I turned to the source that has never let me down! GOOGLE. It helped, TONS! I cooked the Filet and it was amazing- so much so he wanted seconds! So, now I believe I am Rachel Ray! Dear Lord save me! HA!! So this weekend I might attempt to make BBQ Ribs! And as for tonight- if all goes as planned and my night doesn't become a long one- I might make Breaded chicken!! With the sides of  red beans and brown rice (minute rice in the microwave- lmfao! You can't expect me to know how to cook everything yet!). 


World look out- danger is on it's way to the kitchen!!!!

Life Forms

I was reading articles on Space, Galaxies, Time Travel, and Life Forms in other planets. I love to read about such things, to just know that we live in a planet that holds billions of people- but at the end of it, we are just one small tiny planet mixed in with billions and billions of stars and other planets. So I have decided to dedicate a few post in my blog about this.

Did you know that the biggest planet in our solar system, which is Jupiter, can hold about 1300 Earths!? Just stop to think about that, is that not just something mind blowing? Our planet is so small compared to many of the things out there!!

So now- the point I want to touch, I had an ex-boyfriend years ago (the one I was engaged to) that never believed in life on other planets. This honestly baffled me! I never understood it. How could one believe that we are the only ones? I mean- look beyond this galaxy and think of the entire Universe, I mean it is practically impossible to think of the whole Universe, since we don't even know when it ends! So how could planet Earth be the only little lucky bastard to hold life forms? Come on!! Do you know how many galaxies have planets that are similar to ours? Ones that scientist believe is capable to hold life form?! Which only means- their has to be other beings or forms of life in planets light years away. One can't be so naive to think that we are the only ones.

I am not saying we have been visited by little green men or what not- that part I doubt and well, nowadays, who knows, right? But I do believe that more life is out there and who knows maybe more of you are out there- ever stop to think of that? Deja-vu is something pretty tricky... how do you explain that? But I will go ahead and leave that for another blog, for another day!

Keep shinning even though we are only a small dot in the universe!!

Everything Happens for a Reason

I have always been a fond believer of the saying- "Everything happens for a reason." Like right now- everything I am going through in my life, has to be for a reason- and I think those reasons are to push me to work on my future.
In this current project that I am working on- my position has been nothing that I had imagined it to be. I went from a coordinator to almost an assistant for specific talents!! And let me tell you how your girl is so not the assistant type. I don't have that personality- I am bitchy, it's a fact! I was never good at being asked or actually "bossed" to do something. Not even from my own mother- the brat that I am! You don't even know. But since I guess I am more "mature" now- I go ahead, still giving my looks , and do it. Why? Mostly because I have committed myself to this project and well it's also almost done! Now, why do I believe this hideous position is happening for a reason? Well- to push me to do my own thing that much quicker! I have come down to the conclusion- I need to sort of be my own boss. Hence why the girls and I have our own company- Dream Big Productions. Now, Fio, Vero and I have been coming up with great future ideas in which we could produce and at this moment we are doing our first short-film for Dream Big Productions. It truly is something amazing, to do what you love and be able to do it on your own account! 
Nevertheless, work is only one of the things that I believe that is happening for a reason- the other part is  my love life (the soap opera that I live, ha)!  I have found someone, I believe, to be perfect. I am saying, perfect for me- because we all know that no one is perfect, but he is exactly what I have always needed and I do believe that I am exactly what he needs. But due to a big error on my part, I am now not only a bitch at work, but a bitch in love! So why is this happening? Why am I trying so hard and why have I not just said the hell with it and walked away from him? Because something in me, is telling me that this one might actually be worth the time and effort I am placing. 
So, yea... I will continue to play the bitch role for sometime- because all of this is just happening so at the end I could have what I am meant to have and appreciate it that much more! 
So guys- look around your life, if it's shitty... maybe that is because you have to go through this to push yourself for a better future. Never give up and always look into the bright side of things- there will always be good and bad- but if it's bad it's because it is not over yet and the good is right around the corner. 

Reaching the Sea

Finally, after many Dream Big (our production company) meetings, we started filming our first production this past weekend. I just honestly want to take this time to not only realize that all of this is happening but that we are doing our thing and not someone else's projects! It's a huge step for us, but we started it! Granted, errors here and there.... but we still did it!

Can't say how grateful I am to all of the people that have pulled through for us. From my dad to Mandy! Everyone pulled through and helped us... It was a great start, a great weekend, exhausting, but fulfilling. 


To my partners- Fio and Vero, we still have tons to go, but girls we got this weekend done! To our Director Alejandro- you drive us all crazy at times, but truth be told without you we would still be wondering what we will be doing. To Luis, Jesus, Maya, Tommy, and Joseph- you guys gave us your time to lend a hand and a very well needed hand it was. Mauricio, my famous "him"-  when I felt lost, he gave me the advice needed and was there helping all of us.

My talent- Rancel, Pablo Azar, David Chocarro, Ariel, etc. you guys are great and I am happy we still have other scenes to shoot!! Thank you for believing in us and this project and helping us.


Finally making Dream Big a reality... I will blog and give other inputs and updates on the short film Reaching the Sea as the time comes about.  Can't wait to have the final product and share it with everyone.

Update on my life

Hello Lovelies!!

Let me give you an update on my life, since I haven't blogged in four days! Well, we started filming at work, so my days and hours and been consumed with actual work (yay no more boring office duties)!! However, as life would have it... that short film that my production company Dream Big has planned for, what seems like ages, is finally this weekend!! I have a specific talent flying in for it- I will go ahead and spoil the surprise on who the talent it later on- and I feel as unprepared as ever. So of course, my stress levels reached a max at some point last night until "HE" told me to get it together and basically stop stressing before I even get started... So here I am! Trying not to stress and produce this short film with the girls. Good news is, Saturday seems almost ready... Sunday we are still missing a few things to close, but- I know how kick ass the girls and I are- I am sure we will pull through and finally get this show on the road. After all... we do dream big.

So in my spare time I have been thinking about learning how to iron. HAHAHA- sorry I just had to say something about this. Can you believe I had some woman say to me, in front of other people from work, "How is it possible that you don't know how to iron?!" She was actually upset that I didn't know how to iron, which means I couldn't help her do her job. I mean, all because I have a boobs and don't have a penis between my legs, doesn't mean I automatically know how to iron! How sexiest is that?! I mean- excuse me? I swear... I actually had to take a deep breathe and calm myself, cause the fury in me grew quicker than the Hulk's. "You wouldn't like me when I am angry."

Anyhow, on a better note... I was informed today (Thank you Sergio) that the new Incubus album will be released soon. I am so looking forward to it!! I love them... Anyone else a fan?

Well pardon me while I burst... (Incubus song!!) but I have some preproduction I have to work on and soon have to go to my job, to take care of the talent. 

Toodles!!

The Big Dipper

Dear Period,


I understand that you are a necessity- and don't get me wrong, I am grateful for your visit every month... but since you are my "friend" let us have a serious talk. Not only do you make my sex life a little more complicated a week out of every month, but you come along with cramps, messing with the hormones, bloating, backaches, and zits! I mean... I could deal with certain things!! The cramps, they hurt but I will swallow two pain relievers, get under the covers in the fetal position, and boom after what seems like hours- the pain goes away. Then we have the  hormones, were one moment I am so angry I could almost kill a man and then, two seconds later, I am so sensitive that I am crying over a commercial. Oh come on! Seriously? Ok fine- I will deal! Then we have the bloating- this is time every woman hates to put on her one favorite pair of jeans, because it now feels like the button might just fly off and hit someone in the eye (hopefully a man's). It's okay I will pull out the old raggedy jeans! I don't care at this moment... But, dear period, when you decide to add pimples to my face- things start getting serious!! I now have, due to you, what looks like the Bigger Dipper on my face! Not one pimple- but three? So don't call yourself my friend! You bring me pain, make me moody, make me feel fat, and now you decide to paint the astronomy of the stars in my face?! So as of now- until at least my face clears up- you will be known as the enemy. 


Sincerely,
Your ex friend.

Happy Belated Birthday Bestie...

I know I am a few days late to say Happy Birthday to my Best Friend Fio, who turned "25" for the second time of her life, 6 days ago- but hey! Better late than never!! So Bestie, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Now- let me go on and talk a bit about this peculiar little one. She's that one friend that is always happy and has a ton of other different friends- you know which one I am talking about, we all have at least one of these friends (and if you don't- you might be that "friend"- think about it). But now, what differs her from people in general is how quickly her friendliness can turn to bitchy. She will give you that smile that you know in that very moment that you are in shit deep and  guess what! yup- you lost your paddle!!  However, she gets over it just as quick (she only acts tough! She's like a little Yorkie- all bark lol!)- sometimes she will go on and hold a grudge for a few days... all you have to do is take her out to have a drink, let her get extra happy with some happy "Apple Juice" and she will forget it all together. 

While she has her moods and she is a bit bossy- she is honestly my best diary. She has literally heard it all from me and while she knows at times I am in the wrong (and God knows she will tell me)- she is there holding my hand when I fucked up and crying. She is the kind of woman that takes things personal when they have to relate to her friends or family. EXAMPLE- She couldn't stand "Him" at first because she didn't understand his intentions towards me... while it took a while to budge (she still doesn't like him 100%) she has learned to like him because I like him. 

She has a passion you won't even begin to believe, don't judge her by her size, she is a little crazy- enough to love crazy people around her, she loves her reggaeton music (yes- Reggaeton!), she cries in sappy movies, she's scared of scary movies (can't even see a Horror Trailer), she loves her Peruvian food (She is a proud Inca), she loves her colors (the brighter, the better)... and I could continue on with the list.; however, I will stop there. I will just finish it with this- you all know you have one of those girlfriends that through it all you know that you can count on- that no matter how selfish you are or how busy she is- that she is literally one call (or in our case- a text) away. Met her three years ago and from that moment she became the bestie! In a nut shell- she is My Best Friend.

Dear Therapist,

Let me tell you all about my retail therapy I have done this weekend- damage beyond! Got me some nice purses, some new ray-bans, jeans, blouse, perfume, books, and most importantly Vueve Clicquot (my favorite Champagne). Now, while this did some damage to the wallet- it worked! Made me stop thinking for a few hours (at one moment almost the whole day), other times for a few hours- about HIM. Is it not funny how quickly buying pretty little things just make most women forget whatever their dilemma at that moment is? But sadly, money ends, stores close and then one is back to the reality of shit. As mentioned, I have been driving my poor friends crazy with all my novella (spanish for soap operas)- but hey! I spoiled them too during my shopping spree! Now, I am going to go ahead and give my poor friends a moment off and go ahead and blog about it. So guys- you will now be my therapist... Sorry! Hey, don't leave!! I mean seriously- most of you can relate- right? Have you not ever wondered- "At what moment did I get so involved with HIM? Why the hell did this happen and why was I not aware?" I mean it literally creeps up on you- one moment you are confused about someone else and all of a sudden it's him that you can't stop thinking of!!
Now the saying, "You never know what you have until you don't have it." I have used on my exes- knowing they will come crawling back once they left and for the most part- most of them have! But damn- I have never been on the other end of that saying. I know now how very true that stupid saying is. I went on and fucked up and I am not even going to make excuses for myself. I did what I did and now my consequence is apologizing and trying to win him back. Why? Because if there is one thing about me- I never give up on something that makes me happy. And dammit- HE made me happy. 
So my advice- never give up! Try and try until you literally can't try anymore. If you fail- AT LEAST YOU KNOW YOU GAVE IT YOUR ALL!! So dear therapist, I am not giving up. I will win him back and I will just show how much it is I care- now that I finally realize how much I do. 

Happy Fourth of July

First off I would like to say Happy Fourth of July!! Great day for our beautiful country, which most of us spend in front of a BBQ and getting together with fireworks- please be careful! 


Now, I know I have been driving my poor friends this week crazy with some personal issues and for that same reason is why I have stayed away from the blog- I am sorry! I have been doing so much thinking about so many stupid little things this week and finally I have come down to the conclusion that you should never give up on something that makes you happy. So, if you are ever scared, sad, or mad- don't let that happiness slip away. If you messed up- as I have with my problem- try everything you got to win back that happiness. Worst case scenario, it doesn't work and you really just have to let go. But the question is- when is it time to let go? Would one know? Will I know? I am sure that is all questions that will be answered in the near future. 


But I do believe that we make mistakes to learn from them and with each error we mature. So every day I learn something new, every day I grow older and every day I am going to continue to fight for my happiness.
