I Reclaimed my Storytelling
The name of the Christmas campaign I produced for my company this year is “Do more of what makes you happy” (if you want to check it out you can click here: https://youtu.be/gRRgsZtS8Tc?si=zyj1B5UP8RvWBGLU or here if you want to watch it in Spanish: https://youtu.be/4onZIdgyVIY?si=ZHqzXcRb1LqjBvzd and that is very appropriate considering I have been living by […]
30 Years of the Altar de Muertos
I placed my first Day of the Dead offering back in 1993. I was 13 back then and a huge fan of Germán Valdez, Tin Tan, a Mexican actor from the Mexican cinema Golden age. His comedic timing, his multi-talented nature – he was a good singer, and a decent dancer – and according to […]
A Brand-New Identity
My son had and accident a couple of weeks ago. He – somehow I am not willing to discuss in this forum – suffered a fall and injured his leg, his elbow, and his neck. I had to take him to an orthopedist who checked him and ordered some X rays to make sure nothing […]
“I don’t like being photographed”
This week I went on vacation to Mexico City, and something funny happened, because I felt like I was coming back home. I had described something similar to this feeling in an old entry of my previous Spanish blog, in which I wrote about how I felt going back to Guanajuato while I was living […]
8 Months and Macro counting
I haven’t posted any entry fully dedicated to my weight loss process in over five months, and I believe it’s about time I do it, for several circumstances that are now coming together. First of all, I stopped the chronicles of my weight loss because from November until the beginning of February my process mysteriously […]
The Happy Dance
I have always believed happiness is not constant. If it were like that, perhaps we would never even notice we are happy, we would just be… in a regular state, I guess. For me, happiness feels like heartbeats – you get peaks of feel-good moments, and when you get lots of those in a row, […]
All about food
So, apparently everything I do lately seems to be related with food… I’ve been experimenting with new recipes, painting watercolor images of food and at the same time restraining my food intake to achieve the 70-kilo mark by July (I’m currently at 81, so still a long way to go…) I read a psychological theory […]
The Three-Month Mark
On November 3rd it was officially the three-month mark of my bariatric surgery. I – as a person who likes to follow up on certain things with a close-to-scientific approach – have been tracking my progress and recording it to be aware of the speed at which my process has been moving along, so when […]
Powerful Hobbies
It’s been a bit more than two months – two months and 10 days, to be accurate – since my surgery and I have lost 14 kilos so far. I am over the moon, to be honest. I know there’s still a long way to go, but what has been accomplished so far is simply […]
Light at the End of the Tunnel
Last June I mentioned in my sourdough post that my health problem hadn’t been resolved yet, but that I had been seeing some promising results as a consequence of an anti-inflammatory treatment I had been prescribed by my orthopedic surgeon. Well, I asked him to help me determine what the underlying problem was, even requested […]
