What is it, with salt and sugar?
They're related in a weird way: they're like twins, but just as good twins, their personality is completely different!
If you take sugar by mistake when you make pasta, who cares?You just change your Menu and say it was supposed to be sweet:tastes good too!
If you put salt on jam it's OK too: pâté is salty, and in our effort to make it fancy we throw some jam on it, and it still tastes good!
But what happens if you put salt instead of sugar in your eggnog? Not so good anymore!
You mix your eggs with what was supposed to be sugar (or at least pretending to be), you do your thing with the rum and the whiskey, mix some milk and finish with a "whipped creamy" touch!
It looks great! So you fill your mug (while you have saliva running through your mouth), and you take a big sip.You nearly drink the whole thing, cause it tastes sooooo good!
After the sip, you go like: "Something isn't right!" And then suddenly while the mixture gets stuck in your taste buds, you say: "Oh my God!"
You start looking for something to take the taste of salty eggnog away, but you don't have anything at hand , so ypu choose to drink the rum or the whiskey that's still in front of you.
After that, you realise, salty eggnog isn't as bad as you thought! Then, you think: what does well with salt, and guess what?Something called Tekila comes to your mind.
Two hours later, after drinking the whole thing, you realise you're the most brilliant person on the planet, and send your new recipe to Martha Stuart!
Thing is: Everything tastes good on Christmas!
¡HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYBODY!

Where is the love I lost?
If you love someone, and you break up, where does the love go?
Sometimes people feel overwhelming love ,and feel as if nothing has, is, or will ever be stronger than the love for that special someone...
But then, confusion enters, arguments happen, questions become unanswered, doors slam and only resentment stays there to hold one's hand.
We torture ourselves and look for the reason everywhere: we blame ourselves, we blame the other person... we even blame the weatherman if we can't find anyone else; but at last we calm down and realise that we can not blame the weatherman for a storm that has been written in the stars. Storms happen, whether we like it or not,and so does life.We can't do anything about it.
Love remains, the same way as a drop of water remains on the grass after the storm; it will dry eventually, but the color of the green grass, will always stay there as a reminder that it did, in fact,once rain.

Im back!
My internet didn't work, so I couldn't write anything until now.
Well, my lower left wisdom tooth hurts! Why the hell do they call them wisdom teeth? Cause you get wiser everytime they hurt? I don't get it.
Anyway, my dentist gave me a gel tube, and told me to massage the gel into my tooth... NOT WORKING! I massage it in, but the gel keeps sticking on my finger, so at the end of my self-curing disaster in front of the bathroom mirror, the tube is empty, my fingers (and sink and bathroom floor) are covered up in gel, and my wisdom tooth stil hurts cause no gel ever touched it!!
So here I am, feeling like my heart has moved into my mouth, arranging all the furniture that's in it and trying to hang some pictures! (I know about the pictures cause I feel the hammering and the nailing).Man, it hurts!

James Lipton quote
"Hollywood movies like happy endings, but of course life doesn't fade out after the final frame.At its best, life has happy beginnings, with all the hope that that implies"

Nicole Kidman on Stanley Kubrick
"The time I spent with Stanley Kubrick changed the way I view films, the way I view film making; it gave me a belief in the purity of film making, in the art form of making film. And that however long it takes, whatever you have to go through...you're making a film, and it's extraordinarily wonderful;and a lot of times now I think people view films in a very 'business' way: we have a product, we gotta get it out for summer, we gotta make the film,it's gotta be this, it's gotta be that... and film making isn't that, it's about getting lost in that world and it's exquisit when it happens.
A lot of the times now you can really question that, and particulary that you can be corrupted (I think even as a director).
Stanley Kubrick was someone who dedicated his life to making films, and he believed in that art form in such a pure way...and he lived films, he loved films! And a lot of times he would say: that's pretentious, or you know, there's so many more important things in the world...and yes there is, but the great storytellers of our past(and also now)are so important to our future, and I think Stanley gave me a belief in that again. He was one of the great storytellers of all time and he used film as his media to do that...and it was beautiful".

Nothing
I don't have anything today!I mean, I went to tv class this morning, had lunch with my friend Natalia (she's in Madrid) and with Alicia. And I'm going to acting class in an hour.
So, nothing new really.That's why I'm gonna leave Ellen's monologue about nothing:
I don't have anything to talk about today. I'm not kiddin around, there's no place to go besides that sentence, and I thought: I have nothing to say, what are they gonna think if I have nothing to say?but then I thought well, you know when you run into a friend on the street and you go:hey!what's up? and they go: nothing. You don't walk away going: y'Know I just ran into Kathy and she had nothing to say!So hopefully it's not a big deal. You just kind of go: OK, yeah, good, I'm good....
I'm thinking of what's going on so:
I had Oreo's for breakfast with white coffee, why do they call it white coffee???it isn't white! it's not black either, cause then it wouldn't be white coffee, it would be black cofee...but then again, black coffee isn't black, it's dark brown, and white coffee is light brown. So next time I'm ordering coffe I'll be saying: a light brown coffee please! Oh that reminded me of the time my friend Sandra went to Paris, and she didn't know how to say white coffee(excuse me: light brown coffee), and she just said it in Spanish: Cafe con leche. And the waiter would say: Oh, cafe olé (cafe au lait), and she would say: yeah, OLÉ. (I'm from Spain)...
So, yeah.... that's all I have: nothing, really. So, keep on keeping on and see you tomorrow!

Shoes, shoes, shoes
What is it, with most women, when it comes to shoes? what happens to us?
I went to buy a belt today, and guess what, I came home with a pair of beautiful black shoes from Blanco. I went in looking for a belt, when suddenly a great light guided me to my sin... I gently took them into my open hands and tried them on;(OOOOOOHHHHH!!!!)beautiful! absolutely beautiful. But at the same time I was thinking: No, I can't buy them, I came in here looking for a belt! So I went to the "Belt side" of the shop (with my shoes, of course, I'm not buying them, but neither am I taking the risk of losing them!), but no belt was right for me; but I knew my shoes were. I looked at them, and I immediately knew we were made for each other...So how could I lie to them saying I didn't like them, turn away, and abandon them??? That's not my style, I rather take care of my beloved ones! So, of course, I bought them. And as I got out of the shop I felt guilty, but as I opened the bag and took a glimpse at them I realized they were absolutely worth it!

Gym classes
I went to the gym today.
I didn't take any water with me, I forgot it, but I also thought it wouldn't be necessary. I thought: well, I'm not gonna need it, and besides, I'm going home afterwards so I can drink a sink full of water if I want to!(here in Madrid you can drink right from the faucet/tap).
Ok, so here's the thing:
The class was full of people; all of them (us) were sweating, exhaling and inhaling (trying desperately to breath!) and trying to get some space(kicking or hitting each other). Ok, till here everything was kinnda normal. So, suddenly I feel the need to drink, and I start looking for my bottle of water (in the middle of all the jumping, kicking and turning), which I later realize I didn't bring. Then I start to think:(jump!)Why am I this stupid, why didn't I bring a bottle of water? (kick!)Then, I remember that there's a vending machine outside the class, and I think: it'll take 2 min to get the water(turn!). But then again, I realize that I didn't bring any money! So I think:ok, that ain't gonna work!(jump and kick!)...so I continue doing my excercises and thinking about water, which made me even more thirsty!and dizzy! (because of the lack of water)
Eventually I realize we're sretching and that the class is about to end. We all start to applaude, and I run home to drink not a sink of water but a bathtub full of water; and if it's possible with some vodka in it!In my defense: I had a stressful hour!
So that's what's happened to me today.
I'm going to acting class in an hour(I forgot I had to learn my scene!)and then we're having champagne at home! (it's Fernando's bithday, in case you forgot!)
So, keep on keeping on and have a nice afternoon!

My thought...and I do have one!
"My thought and I do have one!", so if I'm thinking what I'm thinking, there must be some people out there thinking the same thing as I am thinking...
I'm waiting for my friend Elisa at home, I just called her and she said she's on her way.
We're going to buy a present for my roommate/friend (that doesn't sound good) Friend/roommate (yeah, better!), cause tomorrow is his birthday. We're buying him make up. Yeah, we're buying HIM make up! He's been stealing my bronzing make up for some time now, so we thought: what the hell, let's buy him one!!!
I've had a sandwich with Elisa, and now I'm goin to bed. I have to learn a text for tomorrow's acting class("Fool for love"); and of course, I left it for today!Don't leave for tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
Keep on, keeping on!
