Work week is almost over. First full week of work almost done. On, its still cold.
I went to a Naturopathic doctor today - first time since I was ill back in March/April as (touch wood) all has been well :-) and my supplements had run out (things basically to help digestion without going for the tradtional medicine / pharmacology - just my personal preference if possible)
And (touch wood again) I have had zero pain since then which is absolutely brilliant and I am sooooo happy about.
I want to make sure it stays that way so I went back. All good (fingers crossed) and I'll be ordering some more natural supplements (but less) this afternoon.
At the end of the session, the naturopath gave me a little bit of reflexology too. Right at the end of the session, she took both my feet and legs and from the feet she wiggled them. That's the best way i can think of describing it. She wiggled and wiggled until it made my spine - she described it as how a fish's body moves when it swims - zig zagging. The idea is to get oxygen/movement/energy into you spine.
Well. when she stopped, it was like having bubbles emanate from my spine. It was lovely! Like drinking champagne in your spine. Aaaah.
Day 51 Year 2: So I took Molly out to pee this morning and while walking back up the stairs in my slippers (cuz I'm a lazy bastard and didn't feel like putting my shoes on) I stubbed the hell out of my toe on the stair :( It hurt, lots, I almost cried! The toenail actually split and there was blood...can't say I've stubbed one that badly in a long time :(
One of the things that kept me busy and off of Flickr was a photography course I took in the fal. It was a great course with a great teacher (Eric Boutlier Brown), and our final project was ten images with some kind of link. I went with a self-portrait based on ten objects that tell something about me.

Juego: Homenaje
Desde el primer momento me sentí cómoda con mi homenajeada, contenta de que fuera ella.
Me gusta su estilo, su nitidez, su luz; la de sus fotos y la de ella misma. Paseé muchas veces por su galería hasta que me decidí y elegí "El Desayuno" www.flickr.com/photos/encolmenar/5356372477/ .
Me gusta por que está ella presente y es una imagen que dice cosas, me habla de como es, de su cotidianidad, me invita a imaginar y a fantasear.
Y bueno, para mi Ana es especial, finalmente decidí que eso era lo que más quería expresar en mi homenaje y no estaba segura de poder conseguirlo. Quería que lo importante en mi foto fuera Ana, no yo. Eso me tiene feliz por que siento que lo logré. Empecé solo con el concepto de desayuno, pero de a poco la idea se fue transformando hasta que llegué a esto.
Siento de verdad que las palabras de mi tazón están en ella; porque yo estaré bastante lejos, pero sí puedo claramente percibir que es compasiva, generosa, amable, poética, sensitiva, cariñosa...y mucho más también.
Quien sabe, quizás un día de estos podamos disfrutar juntas un café...
Muchos besos Ana y muchas gracias por traernos esta idea.
well...friday so wat we do??

Mírame ahora...
Entonces mirame ahora
Como puedo ver que te alejas, sin siquiera un rastro
Cuando estuve aquí tomando los suspiros contigo
Tú eres la única que me conoce bien
Como puedes alejarte de mí
Cuando todo lo que puedo hacer es mirar que te vas
Compartimos la risa y el dolor y hasta las lagrimas
Tú eres la única que me conoce bien
Entonces mírame ahora
Solo hay un espacio vacío
Y no hay nada dejado aquí para recordarme
Solo la memoria de tu cara
Entonces mírame ahora
Solo hay un espacio vacío
Y tú vuelves a mí aunque parezca increíble
Y esto es lo que tengo que afrontar
Deseo poder que tu solo des la vuelta
Des la vuelta y me veas llorar
Hay tanto que te quiero decir
Tantas razones porque
Eres la única que me conoce bien
14-03-2010 I've just bought my tickets for Sweden. I'm gonna see dear friends, pretty girls, and my swedish goddess. I haven't travel abroad alone for so long ! I'm so excited.

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love.
From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl,
My heart says follow t'rough.
But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line,
But the waitin' feel is fine:
So don't treat me like a puppet on a string,
'Cause I know I have to do my thing.
Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb;
I wanna know when you're gonna come - soon.
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,
'Cause if summer is here,
I'm still waiting there;
Winter is here,
And I'm still waiting there.
--- Guitar solo ---
Like I said:
It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door,
And I still can knock some more:
Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible?
I wanna know now, for I to knock some more.
Ya see, in life I know there's lots of grief,
But your love is my relief:
Tears in my eyes burn - tears in my eyes burn
While I'm waiting - while I'm waiting for my turn,
See!
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love, oh!
I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -
I don't wanna wait in vain.
I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -
I don't wanna wait in vain.
No, I don't wanna (I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -
I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain) -
No I - no I (I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't
wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain) -
No, no-no, I, no, I (I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -
I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain) -
It's your love that I'm waiting on (I don't wanna - I don't wanna -
I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain);
It's me love that you're running from.
It's Jah love that I'm waiting on (I don't wanna - I don't wanna -
I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain);
It's me love that you're running from.

Day 61 of 365 31/05/09 The weather is amazing and it makes me think of Holidays, when I see planes in the sky I always wonder about their destination. Unfortunately for me my house is North facing so the sun never touches the front of the house, but at least it provides a cool haven after a day out in the hot May sunshine. a little less revealing than the last SP I took!
Yet another doctor's appointment. I don't have to switch from my pediatrician until I graduate. So naturally there are toys for the kiddies. Heh.... And I'm not above getting something shiny for my owies, as you can see.
Delayed 365 post. No idea how to shoot with the self-timer when using a d90. figured it out eventually.
also SOOC!
This is a shoot my girlfriend took to me last weekend in Easter Island. It was a very intense experience, very short but amazing. If you people want to travel to a magical place, please go to Easter Island. One of the greatest places i've been... it's amazing.
By the way, i'll share with you soon all the landscapes and experience there.

Whiskey, gin and brandy
With a glass I’m pretty handy
I’m trying to walk a straight line
On sour mash and cheap wine
So join me for a drink boys
We’re gonna make a big noise
So don’t worry about tomorrow
Take it today
Forget about the cheque
We’ll get hell to pay
Have a drink on me
Have a drink on me
Yeah
Have a drink on me
Have a drink on me
On me
Come on
Dizzy, drunk and fightin’
On tequila white lightnin’
My glass is getting shorter
On whiskey, ice and water
So come on and have a good time
And get blinded out of your mind
So don’t worry about tomorrow
Take it today
Forget about the cheque
We’ll get hell to pay
Have a drink on me
Have a drink on me
Have a drink on me
Have a drink on me
On me
Get stoned
Have a drink on me
Have a drink on me
Yeah
Have a drink on me
Come on
Oooh
Gonna roll around
Gonna hit the ground
Take another swing

Gonna drink it dry
Gonna get me high

Make a noise
Chorus
Have a drink on me
Have a drink on me
Have a drink on me
Have a drink on me

I got a new camera. A Canon (best brand in my opinion) Rebel T3, Its so much clearer than my old ones and I love being able to change lenses. More awesome pictures to come hopefully
The woman in me went over the top,
Forget and forgive, she's made up with you.
That stranger in me, where was I before?
I think I was scared of letting you in.
Don't let it swallow you from inside
And take away the best things in you.
I hold on to the woman in me,
The woman in me.
The person in me, she wanted to be
The woman you love, the woman you need.
And what have I found? The partner I missed.
The person in you loves the woman in me.
Don't let it swallow you from inside
And take away the best things in you.
the woman in me..

Excessive photoshopping can cause you excessive vainess.
This was my attempt of photoshopping my passport picture into a supposeldy hand-drawn charcoal sketch.
Let's digress...
I have the worst luck at taking passport photo. There's always that sudden infection to one eye, that huge pimple, the eyeags, the oiliness of the face, why oh why? Right at the time of this photo, one of my eye was significantly smaller than the other one. Liquified it to correct it, but you can still see the difference...
and you can see how much thinner I look. Ho ho ho. If only we could photoshop ourselves in real life. (Yes, I have issues that I would deal with another day)
Now back, I followed instruction from a photoshop book. The instructions were specific, unfortunately it only worked for the picture the person used it on. (like blabla opacity 35%, line dimension 3, texture 340%and whatever... it just doesn't work!!!!!!!!) So, I press and ctrl-Z and press some more and more and more and out of luck, what do you know....
I'm actually satisfied with this one.
End.
PS: I really should start my blog again. My fingers are itching already.
