C-A-N-A-D-A 2 C-A-N-C-U-N



Paradise on earth is when you could spend some time with your other half in a nice warm, weather and preferably... on a beautiful beach. Imagine holding hand with your loved one while walking along the sandy beach....as the sun sets on the horizon...romantic kisses follow...awwww! Ahem anyway I am currently counting down the days to go down to the state of Quintana Roo. It is a present for our coming 5th anniversary. It is pretty rainy here nowadays. Hopefully the weather is sunny in Quintana Roo when we go there.

This, however, is NOT Cancun. This is the Greek Island of Mykonos. It is in my list of future honeymoon destination. *Hintety hint hint ;)

So...yeah.... I am enjoying my summer break in full swing now. I guess this explains the low frequency of updates in my blog. Hope you guys are enjoying your summer too =).

I am in love...

...With the dance in this song called "Total Disguise " by Serhat and Viktor Lazlo. I have been watching this video over and over again... fantasizing I am the girl in the video who dance gracefully with the guy who is also an excellent dance partner. Unfortunately for now I am yet to master the ballroom dance. I do know the basics though. I took a Latin and ballroom dance class since the last 2 months. My conclusion so far...Latin dance is more relaxing and it is meant to be a club dance so it is less formal. On the other hand, ballroom dance is more technical. Your head has to be tilted in a certain direction, your feet has to move in a certain way. Moreover you have to learn different dances such as Waltz, Tango, Rumba and Cha Cha. Personal favourite... hmm I love salsa in Latin dance. After all, being a pure Mexican my boyfriend is good in salsa. But I do love Tango and Waltz too. Tango looks so dramatic and of course...sexy :P.



I got myself a new pair of dancing shoes yesterday. I pick silver because I have a black dress. So it will look nice when I go dancing with him. Since dancing is my new hobby, I thought it will be best if i get a real dancing shoes. Dancing shoes are specially designed to withstand the long hours of dancings. Furthermore, the soles were made from suede instead of typical rubber so that the dancer could glide easily on the dance floor. Besides it is much more flexible and easier to bend than normal heels. I tried to wear my dance shoes at home to get comfortable with it and to stretch it so it match my feet. Just pray I don't break my ankle while sashaying around the house with 3 inch heels.

It's THAT time again

No...not menses. In case you thought it is. Or.....is it......? Either way this post will be a bit emotional. What I mean by that time is a stretch of time when me and him are having a big fight. Like the Canadian goose big fights are pretty seasonal for the two of us I must admit. It seems that everytime before we go and see each other after months apart, we tend to have a fight about a week before we meet. The issues are different each time we fight though.

Last Saturday I confronted him about whether he is really serious about his plan to come over in September. The last months was pretty tainted with disappointments as none of his plan to come and visit me ever ... come true. Not even on my 21st birthday. I was really heartbroken when he told me they didn't approve his visa application due to lack of convincing financial balance. It was just a day before he is scheduled to fly. I never feel so.... disappointed. Never.

From that time onward ...it seems like all hell broke loose. For me at least. At first we planned maybe he could come somewhere in late March, it didnt happen. Then we plan for him to come over in May to enjoy the early summer and later in July for him to pick me up and we can head to Mexico together , even I tried to help him a bit with the financial things and send him some money to make his account look convincing enough. That plan too was thwarted. It seems that he can't come because....well he can't . He has to work and he cant come anytime he want. So fine. He sent me back my money.

Then, we agreed he could come on July for pick me up. Well not surprisingly that too will not materialized because....well he want to quit his job soon so he prefer to not take any holiday so he could claim some money for the holidays he didnt take. And use it to come in September. When I ask him last Saturday about whether he need me to bring some documents to help him with the visa process that he need to undergo before coming over in September, I got pretty upset when he shows this "yeah, whatever" attitude. Which is the reason why I begin to question him about whether he is serious or not with his plan.

I have my limits too. I have been disappointed for ...freaking 5 TIMES the last few months! I really just cant afford to have one more false hope about him coming. I am tired of having high hopes and being disappointed over and over again. And am I to be blamed if I say, "I start to feel you are not doing enough for the relationship" ? By saying that it seems that now I hurt his feeling. That sentence hit him so hard that he dont want to talk to me for two days now to think about that thing that I said. I begin to wonder whatever happened to the man who used to be my companion in the cold winter, who used to come last minutes to Canada in my rescue, who used to fly over here just to say goodbye before I go back to my country. Where do that hero go?

Is it just me who is being too demanding and not considering the difficult situation he is facing at work now ? Maybe I am wrong for saying he is not doing anything for the relationship. I must say I should appreciate him for toiling from morning to night to save some money. Unfortunately in the end I just blurted out all my discontent after all the months of....patience with his...situations or excuses, depend on how you see it. And later blaming him for not doing enough for the relationship by not being able to come over here. But really I dont know if it is fair for me to come over to his place all the time we could meet. I am just a girl, a student even. I need money as much as he needs money too. But it doesnt mean i dont want to go there, because really I want to meet him as much as I can. It is just that... it will be nice if he could at least show me some effort that he tried his best to come here instead. Somehow I feel there is really more to this problem than just the difficulties with the visa application.

I hope this will end soon. I am getting tired of being treated coldly and ignored. Even If I died in accident tomorrow he wont know anything about it since he never even ask or care about whatever happened to me the last couple of days. And when it ends, I hope both of us learn a lesson from it and hopefully make the relationship stronger than before.

Busy Days Ahead

I love being busy... but busy doing things that are in no way related to school i.e. shopping,traveling,hanging out with friends. Shopping , traveling and hanging out with friends is exactly what I was and going to do in the next couple of weeks. First, I need to do my summer shopping. I am running out of t-shirts these days since the hot weather requires me to change my shirts frequently. Unlike in winter when you could wear the same sweater twice a week. Secondly, I cant wait for Shu Ann and Jeanne to be here. I will do my best to take them on a tour around old Hammie. Probably I will take them to RBG, Webster's Fall and Dundurn Castle. It will be really nice to spend time with them before I am finally off to see the Alejandros, Fernandos and Robertos :)
The last few days was spent going around old Hammie and discover what Mother Nature has to offer us in "Hamilton to Brantford Trail" and the "Royal Botanical Garden". I admire the nature and its beauty and I am lucky to have a hiking trail right in my backyard. Most of all, I love the moment in a bus ride when the bus crosses the bridge over Lake Ontario... and I could see green hills all around :)


Flowers...


And more flowers!

Always see this plant in the classic cartoons when I was little. Thought they look like sausages.




What a serene pond






One of the rare pictures of me that I actually like. Very uncommon indeed




Large flower pots in the RBG


If only I could pluck them and take them all home...
