Sé que no me conoces. A laverdad, yo tampoco te conozco a ti. Tampoco es que me interese muchoconocerte. Perdona si te sueno grosera, pero ya verás que tengo misrazones.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Supongo que tengo que presentarme, ¿no?Bueno... Digamos que soy la que tuvo que limpiar el desastre quedejaste. “¿Desastre?” te preguntarás. Sí, desastre. Cuando porcapricho te aburriste del amor puro y sincero que él te ofreció ydecidiste que ya no lo querías, dejaste tremendo desastre. ¿Tienesidea de en cuántas piezas puede romperse un corazón? Muchas...Demasiadas. ¿Sabes cuál es la peor parte? Por más que intentesreparalo, nunca queda igual a como estaba.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;No tienes ni idea de las lágrimas queprovocaste. ¿Sabías que incluso llegó a pensar que era imposiblevolver a enamorarse? ¿Sabes lo que es ver esos lindos ojos sin subrillo característico? Es triste; descorazonador. Él que siempreestuvo dispuesto ahí para ti. Él que dedicaba sus noches a soñarte.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Talvez tampoco te enteraste de cuandome encontró. Yo estuve ahí. Yo escuché las historias de ti de susamigos. Honestamente, al verlo, nunca lo imaginé. Noche tras nochenos desvelábamos hablando y poco a poco se fue abriendo. Pude verese brillo en sus ojos renacer, pero también vi algo más: miedo.Miedo de que yo fuera igual que tú; miedo de ser lastimado.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Pero está bien. No importa. ¿Sabespor qué? Nunca concerás las sonrisas que brotan de sus labioscuando me ve, ni lo dulce de sus “Te amo” susurrados al  oído,ni el ritmo de sus latidos, o el calor de su abrazo en una nochelluviosa. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;No te deseo mal, ¿sabes? Son cosas quepasan en la vida y ya. Talvez algún día conocerás a alguien  quete haga sentir como él me hace sentir, que haga que te sonrojes a lasola mención de su nombre y que te quite el sueño el saber que lovayas a ver. Algún dia, talvez...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-R3yinT6DYbs/Tt2Kde58tzI/AAAAAAAAB94/jl9PV-mf3eU/s1600/editDSC_4255.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="212" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-R3yinT6DYbs/Tt2Kde58tzI/AAAAAAAAB94/jl9PV-mf3eU/s320/editDSC_4255.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4935263702627447078-153614954219481225?l=gabyam.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gabyam.blogspot.com/feeds/153614954219481225/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://gabyam.blogspot.com/2011/12/cartas-una-ex.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4935263702627447078/posts/default/153614954219481225'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4935263702627447078/posts/default/153614954219481225'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gabyam.blogspot.com/2011/12/cartas-una-ex.html' title='Cartas a una ex'/><author><name>Gabriela Alberto</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/112710135626173760636</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3cpVYBX4lrU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAB3I/bkJQc608wf4/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-R3yinT6DYbs/Tt2Kde58tzI/AAAAAAAAB94/jl9PV-mf3eU/s72-c/editDSC_4255.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935263702627447078.post-5175138084456550323</id><published>2011-10-07T10:49:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-07T10:49:43.246-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Octubre 7, 2011</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;"&gt;Despertar temblando de frío y tu mirada no encontrar&lt;br /&gt;Una densa niebla cubre la ciudad&lt;br /&gt;y tú estás lejos; no estás.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4935263702627447078-5175138084456550323?l=gabyam.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gabyam.blogspot.com/feeds/5175138084456550323/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://gabyam.blogspot.com/2011/10/octubre-7-2011.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4935263702627447078/posts/default/5175138084456550323'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4935263702627447078/posts/default/5175138084456550323'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gabyam.blogspot.com/2011/10/octubre-7-2011.html' title='Octubre 7, 2011'/><author><name>Gabriela Alberto</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/112710135626173760636</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3cpVYBX4lrU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAB3I/bkJQc608wf4/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935263702627447078.post-1080089300986461394</id><published>2011-06-26T22:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-26T22:32:39.641-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Cuento Dominicano</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Este es un cuento que aparece en las clínicas de las pruebas nacionales de este año. Me reí mucho, asi que quise compartirlo.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;"De la muerte a la vida"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Yoryi Lockward&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;(dominicano)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Discurre el año 1918 y la humanidad gime bajo los estragos de la terrible pandemia de la Influenza. Nuestras autoridades sanitarias, procurando evitar la propagación de la enfermedad, ordenan se les dé inmediata sepultura a cuantos mueran azotados por el mal. La policía cumple esta orden de tal modo que las mismas familias que tienen muertos no se atreven a gritarlo, porque en seguida se presenta una patrulla para cargar con el cadáver.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El viejo Nono, quizás por estar a la moda, pasa una temporada en el Hospital Ricardo Limardo atacado del mal, y comenta con Facundo, su compañero de habitación, los sucesos del día, que por boca de los numerosos visitantes conocen ambos. En medio de la gran actividad del hospital, sólo ellos hablan:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;— Compai Nono, dice Facundo, ¿dique to lo día se ta muriendo ma gente? Ayei dique murieron que sé yo cuánto; ah!, y dique lo dei hopitai lo llevan en una carreta que la ñaman “La Lechuza”, y lo mejoi e que  yo no me quisiá morí... ¿y uté, Nono?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;— ¿Yo, compadre? ¡Jum! yo tampoco... Bueno, y, ¿Uté oyó eso que dijo esa probe mujei casi llorando, dique lo dotores, si uno ta en el hopitai no eperan que uno se muera, sino que cuando ta uno débi lo mandan a enterrai?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Facundo, con el miedo retratado en la cara, pero tratando de convencerse de lo contrario, responde:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;— Compai Nono, yo no creo que lo dotore, tan güeno que son, me ban a mandai bibo ai cementerio; ¿Uté cree que eso pué sei veidá?, aquello de la mujei que dejaron poi mueita, taide en la noche, pa enterraila en la madrugá, y que cuando boibieron, dique la encontraron sentá, biba y titiritando...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y dique gracia a que sólo taba envueita en una sábana se saibó, poique si la bián pueto en ataú, se embroma.... y con gestos trágicos agregó: ¡No, yo no lo creo!...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unos minutos más tarde, los doctores en su revista diaria de pacientes examinaban a los dos compañeros de habitación y, después de un secreteo delante de ellos, que ambos vieron embargados de tan lúgubres pensamientos, decidieron cambiarlos de habitación, por un motivo cualquiera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los enfermeros, decididos a jugarles una broma pesada, al conocer la condición temerosa que los mantenía aterrados, y ya en conocimiento de la conversación de Facundo con su compadre Nono, y del pánico que tanto uno como el otro le tienen a la muerte, entran con tal consigna y preguntan por Facundo. Habían traído una camilla, la ponen a los pies de la cama de éste, quien tiembla de miedo, y le dicen:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;— Levántese y acuéstese en la camilla.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;— ¿Pa qué?, si yo toi bien aquí — replica Facundo sudando terror.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;— Levántese le digo, que Ud. va para el cementerio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;— ¿Yo? pero si yo no toi mueito; bea, yo mimo me toco, mire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;— Dése pronto, que ya uté se murió.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;— No, yo no toi mueito... Beidá? No juegue conmigo, hombe, compadécame, ¡ay! Poi Dió.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;— Conque es decir que Ud. quiere saber más que el doctor. Fue él quien dijo que Ud. está muerto. A la buena o a la mala, Ud. va para el cementerio. Hay que enterrarlo para evitar que se propague aún más el mal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al fin se lo llevan con no poco trabajo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nono, después de ver salir a su compañero, se palpa los brazos y las piernas diciéndose:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;— ¡Jum! cuidao si yo toi rnueito también... ¡Jum!, pero lo que é a mí no me cogen bibo, y se lanza en barruesa por una ventana, lo que ocasionó un accidente desgraciado, porque cayó en un barril de cal que le hizo mucho daño a la vista y luego llegó a padecer de ceguera con el tiempo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pero en el calor de la huida no sintió nada. En su carrera y en la ausencia de alumbrado público de calidad en esos días, vaga por distantes calles de la ciudad hasta llegar al Parque Independencia, donde se aloja, cómodamente en un banco. Son más o menos las doce de la noche y una brisita fría le obliga a encoger los pies sobre el asiento. Casualmente pasan por allí unos beodos que hablan, con voz vacilante, de los muertos que en aquellos días se habían escapado del camposanto. Al ver aquel bulto blanco representado por Nono en camisola, y acurrucadito sobre el banco, Se espantan y disparan corriendo al creer que han visto un aparecido, Nono se espanta y su primer impulso es correr tras ellos. En esta carrera tropiezan con “La Lechuza”, carreta donde viaja Facundo, a quien los enfermeros para reírse grotescamente, con su broma macabra, le están dando un paseito. Facundo, con el alboroto que producen varias personas corriendo, se incorpora, y al reconocer a su  “compai” Nono, se levanta para gritarle:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;— Nono, ¡camina!... ei dotoi dijo que tú también te morite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;— ¡Jum!, contesta Nono, eso e lo que ellos quisieron, y cambiando de rumbo, dijo a correr como un “degaritao”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Facundo, con tal ejemplo, se escapa del tétrico vehículo y huye tras su compadre. Si no me equivoco, aún están vivitos y coleando por esos mundos de Dios.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4935263702627447078-1080089300986461394?l=gabyam.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gabyam.blogspot.com/feeds/1080089300986461394/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://gabyam.blogspot.com/2011/06/cuento-dominicano.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4935263702627447078/posts/default/1080089300986461394'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4935263702627447078/posts/default/1080089300986461394'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gabyam.blogspot.com/2011/06/cuento-dominicano.html' title='Cuento Dominicano'/><author><name>Gabriela Alberto</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/112710135626173760636</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3cpVYBX4lrU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAB3I/bkJQc608wf4/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935263702627447078.post-5851659240362531902</id><published>2011-05-14T10:31:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-14T10:31:55.126-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Febrero 25, 2011</title><content type='html'>Febrero es el mes de la Patria. Es una época en la que conmemoramos el sacrificio de grandes hombres y mujeres que estuvieron dispuestos a dar sus vidas para que hoy nosotros podamos ser una nación libre e independiente. Pero hoy, dos días antes del aniversario 167 de nuestra independencia, podría contar con una mano las banderas que he visto adornar los hogares dominicanos, y me sobrarían dedos. Hoy, dos días antes, se escucha hablar más del Carnaval que de nuestros padres de la patria. Hoy, dos días antes, nadie recuerda ya lo ocurrido 167 años atrás en las Puertas Misericordia y Conde, y como llegamos a ser la nación que somos ahora. Hoy, cuando muchos ignoran ya las letras de nuestro Himno Nacional.

Vi pasar a dos hombres. Iban hablando, caminando a un paso ligeramente apresurado--casi dando pequeños saltos,-- y llevaban enormes sonrisas en sus rostros. El simple hecho de mirarlos bastaba para que su alegría y entusiasmo se te contagiara. Cuando doblaban la esquina, vi como uno de ellos palmeaba animadamente la espalda de su compañero con su único brazo mientas soltaba una carcajada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sí, este hombre fuertemente bronceado, con el cabello oscuro, y rostro alegre, tenía un solo brazo. Llevaba una camisa negra varios sizes más grandes que le llegaba casi a las rodillas y jeans. Su otro brazo, o lo que quedaba de él, estaba cubierto por la manga de la camisa que en su otro brazo llegaba casi hasta su codo. Sin embargo, aún con esta dificultad, llevaba un libro parecido a una Biblia apretado contra su pecho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al pasar estos hombres, me di cuenta de que había otro hombre que los miraba fijamente. Un hombre joven, aparentemente haitiano, que llevaba dos botellas de agua en cada mano. No sé cuantas horas llevaría trabajando, pero las gotas de sudor hacían que su rostro brillara bajo el sol. Este hombre miraba a los primeros dos con cierta sorpresa en su rostro, pero--sobre todo--una cierta angustia. Tenía el rostro de alguien a quien le han robado la esperanza de recuperar sus sueños ya muertos y la mirada perdida.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La luz del semáforo cambio a verde, y los carros comenzaron a avanzar. Nos alejamos de la esquina sin que nadie más notara la escena que yo acababa de contemplar. Sentada allí me preguntaba cómo era posible que un hombre al que le falta una extremidad pudiera ser más feliz que uno que aparentemente estaba "completo".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;¿Qué hace la diferencia?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4935263702627447078-1362182344003640819?l=gabyam.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gabyam.blogspot.com/feeds/1362182344003640819/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://gabyam.blogspot.com/2011/01/que-hace-la-diferencia.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4935263702627447078/posts/default/1362182344003640819'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4935263702627447078/posts/default/1362182344003640819'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gabyam.blogspot.com/2011/01/que-hace-la-diferencia.html' title='¿Qué hace la diferencia?'/><author><name>Gabriela Alberto</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/112710135626173760636</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3cpVYBX4lrU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAB3I/bkJQc608wf4/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935263702627447078.post-3046734869155228621</id><published>2010-11-30T21:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-30T21:18:10.670-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Luciérnaga Infiltrada</title><content type='html'>Apagaré la luz, me dormiré, para que brille tu pequeña luz en medio de la oscuridad.

Para Él no es nada más que un juego, una caricia infantil. Su cerebro no procesa más de ahí. Élla cruza las piernas y toma una pose digna de una persona mayor.

As you approach, even before you can see them, you can hear the loud murmur of the waves as they crash into the shore, caressing the sand and leaving behind slight trails of white foam. It does not matter how warm the weather is, the sand is always cool to the touch of your bare toes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At sunrise, the stars fade away to let the sun transform the sky into his canvas. The sun then paints it with the most beautiful shades of orange, mauve, blue, gray, and yellow, before making his appearance in his daily masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The water this early in the morning has a dull, grayish-blue color. It sways to the rhythm of the wind, back and forth, unsure of whether it wants to stay in its place or take over the sand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The trees stand like giants lifting their heads up to the sky, trying to reach out to the sun, but they end up as long, dark silhouettes against the morning sky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(26-08-10)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4935263702627447078-4028640251938891416?l=gabyam.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gabyam.blogspot.com/feeds/4028640251938891416/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://gabyam.blogspot.com/2010/09/breaking-dawn.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4935263702627447078/posts/default/4028640251938891416'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4935263702627447078/posts/default/4028640251938891416'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gabyam.blogspot.com/2010/09/breaking-dawn.html' title='Breaking Dawn'/><author><name>Gabriela Alberto</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/112710135626173760636</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3cpVYBX4lrU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAB3I/bkJQc608wf4/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935263702627447078.post-2597102963819923286</id><published>2010-08-30T17:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-30T17:07:10.305-07:00</updated><title type='text'>El gran viaje // The great road trip</title><content type='html'>Paco estaba muy emocionado.

His dad had told him that on the next day he would finally get to know the beach. Paco had dreamed his whole life with going to the beach. That’s why he almost didn’t sleep that night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next day, Paco was up very early. &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Oh&lt;/span&gt;, he thought. &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Today I’m going to the beach! I can’t wait to see what I’ll find there&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;—Paco, can you come here for a second?—his father called.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paco was already familiar with his father’s tone. He lowered his head and sighed calmly. He knew that that day he wouldn’t go to his beloved beach.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4935263702627447078-2597102963819923286?l=gabyam.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gabyam.blogspot.com/feeds/2597102963819923286/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://gabyam.blogspot.com/2010/08/el-gran-viaje-great-road-trip.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4935263702627447078/posts/default/2597102963819923286'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4935263702627447078/posts/default/2597102963819923286'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gabyam.blogspot.com/2010/08/el-gran-viaje-great-road-trip.html' title='El gran viaje // The great road trip'/><author><name>Gabriela Alberto</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/112710135626173760636</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3cpVYBX4lrU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAB3I/bkJQc608wf4/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935263702627447078.post-3591100743100094260</id><published>2010-06-15T20:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-09T13:53:46.267-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='poetry  love'/><title type='text'>Uh oh!

They were saying how the people who invented those things failed many times before they got them right.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Those people had to work really hard to accomplish their goals.Thomas Alva Edison, for example, discovered around ten thousand ways how not to make a light bulb.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The thing is, sometimes we get so frustrated because we do not get things right the first few times that we stop trying and tell ourselves that it is impossible when all we need to do is look ahead and "keep walking".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4935263702627447078-7496184326644328989?l=gabyam.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gabyam.blogspot.com/feeds/7496184326644328989/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://gabyam.blogspot.com/2009/12/johnnie-walker.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4935263702627447078/posts/default/7496184326644328989'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4935263702627447078/posts/default/7496184326644328989'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gabyam.blogspot.com/2009/12/johnnie-walker.html' title='Johnnie Walker'/><author><name>Gabriela Alberto</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/112710135626173760636</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3cpVYBX4lrU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAB3I/bkJQc608wf4/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935263702627447078.post-3774014596663026535</id><published>2009-11-01T19:24:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-01T19:27:00.250-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Origami</title><content type='html'>&lt;p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:11.0pt"&gt;Today I've been drawn again to the Japanese art of Origami. For some, Origami is just making cool stuff with paper; but, today I've gotten a different idea.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:11.0pt"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:11.0pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:11.0pt"&gt;Think about how to make an Origami figure. You fold, unfold, and cut the paper. The result, however small, is always amazing. However, when you fold the paper where you should not have, ugly folds show up in the resulting figure. You may cover it up with some extra folds, but it will still be there. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:11.0pt"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:11.0pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:11.0pt"&gt;Today, in church, I was thinking about it. Think of the process of making the figure as your life. Every wrong decision, every wrong deed, or thought, will leave its mark. God is folding you to make you perfect, but each time you try to "help Him" you end up folding the paper wrong, and that leaves a mark.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:11.0pt"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:11.0pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:11.0pt"&gt;Same when you try to do Origami and your hands are dirty: smudges will appear where you flatten the folds. Whenever we try to "help God" we end up messing it up; getting ourselves dirty.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:11.0pt"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:11.0pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:11.0pt"&gt;The point is: don't try to make God do what you want Him to do; He knows what He's doing. You'll just end up with a messed up Origami figure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4935263702627447078-3774014596663026535?l=gabyam.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gabyam.blogspot.com/feeds/3774014596663026535/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://gabyam.blogspot.com/2009/11/origami.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4935263702627447078/posts/default/3774014596663026535'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4935263702627447078/posts/default/3774014596663026535'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gabyam.blogspot.com/2009/11/origami.html' title='Origami'/><author><name>Gabriela Alberto</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/112710135626173760636</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3cpVYBX4lrU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAB3I/bkJQc608wf4/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935263702627447078.post-7526732668311223718</id><published>2009-10-09T20:45:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-09T20:47:49.840-07:00</updated><title type='text'>My favorite place in the world</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre;
