October Winds

“Two Wings... Who could have two wings for me to fly!.This afternoon, in the summit, almost I have had them.From here I see the sea, so blue so sleepy,that if it is not a sea, might as well be another sky!.

Summits, divine summits, excel viewpoints.How small mankind! The murmurs don't reachFrom there below, from the mud; neither the harrowing screamwith which the desire howls, neither the overflowing clamorfrom bad passions .The despicable won’t rise:this summit is the Kingdom of the bird and the cloud…” (Alfredo Espino)


October winds are here, and with them the smell of summer.
When in school, it was time to close another year, final exams, goodbye to the books, to classmates, teachers and hello to mornings starting at 8 am!

October winds… no more rain clouds blurring the sight of San Salvador volcano, from the balcony of my apartment you can now see not the entire city, but almost half of the country. The high mountains of the east… the blue beaches of the west… the lakes and volcanoes of the south… and up north… San Salvador volcano standing tall and wide!

October has ended… but summer just started!

Book Selection: "The Conspiracy" - Dan Brown

An interesting read. The same type of novel Dan Brown likes to write. Persecution, secrets, intrigues, the good, the bad and the ugly.

It kept me really entertained while running in the threadmill. I could run up to 40 minutes without noticing it!

It's light literature, good to spend time you would otherwise be wasting.

Where streets have no name

I've discovered a new characteristic in me.

As I have kept going around inside my mind, planning next steps, dreaming dreams I haven't dream yet... and all through my life, I have kept daydreaming about going places, meeting people, discovering a sense of adventure and letting my soul rest free...
one day, all of a sudden, and without even noticing it, I stopped doing it.

I had a meaningful conversation with my friend of freedom the other day, he has managed to make me see how I must always think what I want to do, and then address the barriers to get there.

I stopped planning. Captured all the dreams wondering around my pillow and set them all in front of me.

I decided it was time to stop dreaming, and time to make those dreams finally come true.

Where will this lead me? I am not sure. But its time. Its time to unfold the map of opportunities and lose myself in it.
I still don't have the answers, not a single answer... but they are there, waiting for me to put my mind, heart and soul into them.

True.... true...

Guinness Record

I believe my country can now achieve the world's Guiness record for reported natural disasters in less time.

I had never heard in global history so many events happening in a week.

My little tiny country has been exposed for having in 1 week:
- Volcano eruption
- 5 days tropical storm with unstop rain
- Flooding all over the country because of the storm...

And to close this week with a golden knot...

- a 5.8 Richter earthquake

Really niceeee!!!
who said 20,000 square kms was too small? hahah well guess where has it all happened.

Fortunately, yes, everyone I know is ok.
54,000 people lost their houses for the floodings though... but it seems we are used to calamities... its just time to wait until the sun shines one more time and make it time to rebuild it back again.
