♥With tears on my eyes, while sending a message : Te amo, mama. I realized that I never told such powerful words to the greatest, loveliest and wonderful woman she is. Mom, I also want you to know I’m the luckiest girl in the whole universe for having such a loving, patience and wise woman. I aspire day by day to become like you… I love you ♥

With a little strength and time…
and maybe, maybe a change won’t be bad after all. Maybe this is the time to let go and allowed myself to be the strong and happy person I’m suppose to be…
All I know is that for now I’am settling for less, and even though is love is a toxic love, which makes me unhappy. Life is too short to settle for an unhappy love.
It won’t be easy, it will be hearth-wrenching and hurtful but it will be worth it.

Hans Christian Andersen
AUTHOR
Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was born in Odense, Denmark, to a poor family. He left home as a 14-year-old to seek his fortune at the theatre in Copenhagen. Andersen began writing plays and poetry before he left for Copenhagen, but it was not until 1835 that he published the first of the fairytales that would bring him international renown. Since then, his over 200 fairytales have enjoyed undiminished popularity, providing the basis for favorite American interpretations such as Disney’s The Little Mermaid.

Going back to my old self
Lately I have been missing my old self or maybe I’m just missing the time I used to have to read books. I believe is the later. I miss the smell of brand new or used books, the heavy or light weight on my arms, the fact I could take them anywhere and read everywhere. I miss spending days and nights juts curious of what would happen next. I miss reading them. For years at my birth country I was the girl who every year got the award of “the student who read the most books”. No wonder since I was little I fell in love with each one of them, whether good or bad they would always make you experience someone else life , emotions and feelings.
Once I enter college and started working it was obvious that I have to sacrifice this love of mine for a couple of years. Yes, I read some books online but they just doesn’t feel right. But today I finally decided to visit my closest public library in search of some books. I believe this new year would allowed me more time for them since I would in a few months be a part-time at my job.
So I finally decide to pick up four books just to start with and I decided to make a list as well talk about my reading experience of them in here but they are a couple of factors we have to take into account:
- I’ m a HUGE romance lover… So, I believe 98% of my books will be about love. I do like sometimes cheese stuff, and sometimes rather predictable books. I just can’t help it … Romance is my weakness.
- I’ m also a huge of paranormal love as I like to call it or medieval love books. I love the whole idea of a normal boy/girl falling in love with an angel/ghost/any of these type of creatures. Sorry, I can’t help it. The same thing with medieval type of love. I love the whole thing about those times and how a king/queen/prince/princess falls in love with a common girl/boy or between themselves and they do the whole courting thing. I just love it. And the same thing with gods/and goddess falling in love.
- I’m not too deep of a reader when it comes to giving extremely good reviews or comparing a book to a movie/play.or another book. It doesn’t matter whether the book is based on such and such. For me each books is different and unique in his own way. I just cared about enjoying them and they follow logic paths but as you can see I’m also not to worry about this since I like paranormal love books. LOL
- Like I said before don’t expect from me a deep review about a certain book, most likely I will put mostly stuff that I enjoy and won’t give too much explanation about stuff I don’t like.
(Pharmacy) Drive-Thru : The Root Of All Evil
So I work in a retail pharmacy for about two years now. Like many of us, we had no choice but start getting experience at the bottom of the latter where nobody takes your side and you are not even consider to the most basic right which is RESPECT from your own specie. I have been two years working as a pharmacy tech and I am ready to move on. I can’t take it anymore. This is coming from a person who really doesn’t care what people think or say of me and I am very patient with rude ass**** costumers. I honestly don’t care about your problem. Why would I when I see how much you don’t care about it. At the end, we ALL hate drive-thru.
