I am Home!!

I cant really believe it , I feel so weird as if I dont fit where i have always fitted ,,,
I miss Granada ,, I feel something funny as If I dont match in neither places ...

I am Home ,, I am Home ... Goddd I am Home!!

Whatever suits you!!

Have a look at this ironic prognosis of weather for the days left to me here in Granada...
I was looking for a day to go to Alhambra and there is not even one day without heavy rain and ridiculously low temperatures ....

I can take anything for Alhambra but sometimes I feel that I should not go there all busy with my camera ,,, I might need to look with my own eyes , and feel the moment ,,, maybe because of that Its gonna rain so hard that I will be busy with my umbrella better than my camera ,,, I guess

God God God ... please be on my side for these last days ,,, Help me be strong

If man got to the moon ,,,

I listen to this song and I think of one more foolish story ,,,, I dont know why it wont work but I am happy it happened




Sunsets taking away the best thing that ever happened to me

Lately I have going through levels of not believing , believing , denial , acceptance and grief about the fact that its over ...

Non-automatic Countdown


Days to go

Algo se muere en el Alma ... Something dies in the soul

This is a wonderful song , that I found in a wonderful timing ,,,, Only God knows how sad i am that I have to leave Granada ,,, i just cant picture me actually taking my bags and leaving ,, i dont I cant ,,,,
The Song is about leaving friends behind , it says : Something dies in the soul when a friend goes ... sighhhhhhhhh






Algo se muere en el alma
cuando un amigo se va.

Cuando un amigo se va
algo se muere en el alma
cuando un amigo se va
algo se muere en el alma

Cuando un amigo se va
y va dejando una huella
que no se puede borrar
y va dejando una huella
que no se puede borrar.

No te vayas todavía,
no te vayas por favor
no te vayas todavía
que hasta la guitarra mía
llora cuando dice adiós.

Un pañuelo de silencio
a la hora de partir.

A la hora de partir.
un pañuelo de silencio
a la hora de partir.
un pañuelo de silencio
a la hora de partir.

A la hora de partir
porque hay palabras que hieren
y no se deben decir
porque hay palabras que hieren
y no se deben decir

No te vayas todavía,
no te vayas por favor.
no te vayas todavía
que hasta la guitarra mía
llora cuando dice adiós

El barco se hace pequeño
cuando se aleja en el mar.

Cuando se aleja en el mar.
el barco se hace pequeño
cuando se aleja en el mar.
el barco se hace pequeño
cuando se aleja en el mar

Cuando se aleja en el mar
y cuando se va perdiendo
qué grande es la soledad.
y cuando se va perdiendo
qué grande es la soledad.

No te vayas todavía,
no te vayas por favor.
no te vayas todavía
que hasta la guitarra mía
llora cuando dice adiós

Ese vacío que deja
el amigo que se va.

El amigo que se va.
ese vacío que deja
el amigo que se va.
ese vacío que deja
el amigo que se va.

El amigo que se va
es como un pozo sin fondo
que no se vuelve a llenar.
es como un pozo sin fondo
que no se vuelve a llenar

No te vayas todavía,
no te vayas por favor.
no te vayas todavía
que hasta la guitarra mía
llora cuando dice adiós

CAPOTE DE GRANA Y ORO

For some reason this gets me eyes wet ... ~sigh~





CAPOTE DE GRANA Y ORO

Que le pogan un crespón a la Mezquita,
A la Torre y sus campanas, a la reja y a la cruz,
Y que vistan negro luto las mocitas
Por la muerte de un torero caballero y andaluz.
De negro todos los cantes
Y las mujeres flamencas con negras batas de cola,
De luto los maestrantes
Y la moda deslumbrante de la guitarra española.

Capote de grana y oro
Alegre como una rosa
Que te abrías ante en toro
Igual que una mariposa.
Capote de valentía
De su vergüenza torera,
Que a su cuerpo te cenia
Lo mismo que una bandera.
Como reliquia y tesoro
Te llevo en el alma mía
Capote de grana y oro.

Que le pogan lazo negro a la Giralda
A la Torre de la vela y la Alhambra de grana
Y también a la bandera roja y gualda
Y un silencio en los clarines de la fiesta naciona.
Que lloren los bandoleros
En los picachos mas alto de la Sierra cordobesa,
Que llore Madrid entero
Las majas y los chisperos, los reyes y las princesas.

Capote de grana y oro
Alegre como una rosa
Que te abrías ante en toro
Igual que una mariposa.
Capote de valentía
De su vergüenza torera,
Que a su cuerpo te cenia
Lo mismo que una bandera.
Como reliquia y tesoro
Te llevo en el alma mía
Capote de grana y oro.

Non-automatic Countdown



I started taking pictures of door numbers here in Granada ,,, The dors of the city I love the most
18 Days to Go

I am such a child!!

I have to hand out a project tomorrow morning , i was told about it since October ,, yeah yeah That October that passed 4 months ago , and I cant be more distracted!! I am writing on the blog and singing inside my head and pushing the idea of the project away!!

How childish is that!! I hate Teaching spanish for foreigner students!! Its just uglyyyyyyyyyyyy

Cat person, Dog person Quiz




While looking for an aprtment for my friend I discovered the spanish word for "Pet" ,, I never realy thought what it means , its Mascota ,, the ad said: no mascotas ... and that also was the first time in which I think of this aspect of sharing an apartment with people ... which led me to the question: Am I cat person or a dog person? I dont really know what that means but its always said on TV shows,,, Being a muslim I cant have a dog , but I wondered: In a hypothetical context , if I could have a dog , will I prefer him more than a cat ? ... so I searcehd and found a quiz ,,, I took it and here is my conclusion :


You scored 57.1%

You're a mutt --
part cat, part dog


Since you are neither dog nor cat but somewhere in be tween, you sail through life on an even keel. You learn from your experiences but also have fun along the way. Your friends are a mixture of acquaintances and trusted pals who are equally happy at a block party or on a quiet evening walk. You frequently speak your mind but allow others to share their views, keeping disagreements at bay. You work hard but know when it is time to play and consider a wild game of basketball as much fun as a thoughtful game of scrabble. You frequently enjoy the best of both worlds, which is why you would be equally pleased with either pet in your home. A few famous examples of your type are Kim Basinger, George Clooney and Sarah Jessica Parker.

I loved the conclusion, it really describes me ,,, For many years this kind of tests would tease me and frustrate me because i always were in the middle between two categories ,,, I think I got this satisfying result because now - and now only- I know who I am ,,, I dont trouble myself with the ''me'' I wanna be , or the development i always waited ,,, I KNOW me and I like me , and just finally I stopped rushing change ,,,

Godddd I love Spain :)
