13 Reasons Why
“The whole point of creative expression is to hold up a mirror to the world so hopefully these god-awful people can start to see themselves and make connections to help them get through their dreary-ass lives.”
Talk about a comeback
I think this has to be one of the most insightful ads I’ve seen in a long time.
Talk about a 180 from Pepsi!
Sebas is 9!
He’s always been a study in contrasts. Super sensitive yet tough as nails. Smart yet vulnerable. Independent yet attached. Loves his sister yet fights with her like crazy. Irritates the hell out of you yet you can’t help but love him.
Congrats on your 9th bday baby boy. I love you to Jupiter and back. I hope you find your place in this world, I hope you keep being as sensitive and loving as you have been for the past 9 years. I hope the world is everything you have hoped for. I hope…you continue to hope.
P.S. I wish the picture wasn’t as blurry but it’s all I got! I’m actually a little bit sad that the last set of “good” pictures I took was Xmas 2016. Am I destined for that? To only take good pictures (like with an actual camera) on birthdays and major holidays?
Krispy Kreme llega a Perú!
Krispy Kreme opened on March 23rd if I’m not mistaken. I sent my driver to pick up 30 donuts yesterday so that my son could take them to school this morning to celebrate his birthday. He wasn’t thrilled that they weren’t Dunkin’ Donuts but I swore that if he and his friends didn’t like the Krispy Kreme donuts I would pay him!
Today I had to run an errand close by and realized I was right next door so decided to get some for my daughter who complained when I didn’t get here any yesterday. Thank goodness I was in crutches so that they let me cut to the front of the line! Cause you can see in the picture it was PACKED.
And boy were they as delicious as I remember them! I had the original glazed and the sugar covered one. 1.5 donuts total. How many calories? I don’t even want to know. But all I know is they were worth it. Soooo good. Late night correction puts me at 2.5 donuts. Damn, I better not go there again unless it’s for coffee.
Seems like a nice alternative to Starbucks for working remotely. It’s got power outlets on every single seat, which is great. And a second story which seems quieter than the first. I’ll be trying it out for working remotely once I’m more mobile. Oh, and the wifi pwd is “krispykreme”. The address is 1335 Benavides, Miraflores. Very close to the Benavides Wong. Facebook page here. Website here. I emailed them to ask if there was delivery (given my current lack of mobility!) but they said no (or not yet at least).
First blog post
OK, so I wasn’t exactly the consummate blogger. I checked and it’s been exactly one year since the last time I posted. But for some reason I got the urge to post today and I come to discover that the Blogger iPad app has either disappeared or doesn’t really work well anymore. So I decided to make the jump to WordPress. A little saddened to leave all my Blogger history behind, but maybe the fresh start gives me some motivation to write more. For now I am busy recovering from knee surgery which happened on Feb. 1st. I tried to do yoga for the first time today after the surgery. It was a bit painful, I definitely couldn’t do all the moves, and I also had to quit early on the workout video, but least I felt like I did SOMETHING. I hope to be able to document the journey to recovery a bit so that I can look back on this a year from now and hopefully see how far I’ve come. Wish me luck!
