For my mom

Day 49

Below my first recorded art piece

Definitely don't know the exact date but by my calligraphy I can assume 1991.

Times of innocence, times where my mom (or parents) were my all.  This particular drawing doesn't have anything special but does show my state of mind: pure peace and calm, just a typical summer day in DR: sun and rain enjoying their time together.

Flowers, grassy plain and fruty trees. Sometimes I wish so hard to get back to simpler times, times where my relationship with my parents was more relaxed, times were I didn't overthinking everything, times were my happyness and well-being was totally dependent on someone else.

May sound nice, may sound bad, but every now and then, I miss all that.

Procrastination 🥲

Day 71 I'll start by saying that I'm going back to the original schedule of posting at night instead of the following morning and that's starting tonight. The main reasons I've been skipping late posting in the last few days come down to two reasons: 1- Being extremely tired after some stressful days that included a bit of insomnia, dinners out, heavy gym, unmindful cats, etc which left me a it drained to sit on my computer. 2- Procrastination - 😐 You see, I know that I could have made it work if and only if I would have put a bit more effort but, since I could make it the next day in early hours, then why not? In the past I've always struggled a bit with procrastination but thankfully I've never had any serious issue with it but I know I could do better. You may say "but this is just a blog, is not important or anything, why you think this deserves the effort?" Well, if I don't show the proper respect it deserves, then who will? I put being tired

A Dominican Maestro!

Day 99 Out of all the great artist that have come from the Dominican Republic, no one is bigger or better than the Maestro Juan Luis Guerra and the reasons are abundant.  For the uninitiated, JLG is a musician with about a 40-year long career with mainly Latin rhythms like Merengue and Bachata but also covering Salsa, guaracha, rock, blues and many other. But what makes him amazing?  Well, for me, it all comes down to his craft: the music and lyrics are just amazing, is like a poem made into music and he is not afraid of touching all types of topics: love, pain, breakups, politics, religion, happiness, sadness, joyfulness, sorrow... basically sings of anything at any given time but I do have to highlight that love is his main topic. He is a highly respected musician in the industry and one of the biggest latin american stars who has won many Grammy awards, and is currently the leader of most Latin Grammy awards so far with 28 awards.  Even though is loathe by many back home (due to mos

Pi Day

Day 72 As mentioned a few days ago, Pi Day was upon us, and well, today is Pi Day.   Pi Day has been an annual celebration of the constant Pi since 1988 and is observed on March 14 due to the typical date format in the USA (month/day).   The main purpose is to highlight the maths and lay down a bit of knowledge about the constant to the general population. It is obseved in many different ways by having discussions, eating/baking pies due to the words pi and pie being homophones and the particularity that pi has to do with circles, and pies tend to be circular in shape, some schools have competitions where students compete on who can recall pi the longst, etc. Initially I started observing this day back in 2012 when I became aware of its existance, and I just "celebrate it" by acknowleding the its existance on a simple facebook post that read "Happy Pi Day!!" and that first time it didn't get much tracktion at all, just one friend "liked" the post
