Some people want to be white while others want to be brown

, , , ...

One thing I don't understand of people is that they don't like what they are, and I'm not religious nor I'm telling any religion but I think we were created the way we are because of a reason, but some people are not satisfied how they were created.

Something I found curious is that some Caucasian Americans want to be Mestizos looking, aka brown people. The way they do it is by putting exaggerated amounts of tanning lotion or spending all day under the sun or tanning beds, that it will probably lead them to skin cancer because they are very propense to it because of the skin tone.



And with the Mestizos, or Hispanic people, whatever way you want to say it, they want to be white skin tone. Some people do it using clearing skin tones creams like the one called White Secret.


Just an example, not a girl that wants whitening

This is one thing people are not OK with it, there are other like hair, body complexion voice, intellect, etc. But well.

You are built not to shrink down to less but to blossom into more.

Why did you nickname me?

, , , ...

The way you look or anything you do makes you get a nickname, either you get with it or you hate it. They reflect something peculiar of you but sometimes you don’t want to be reminded of it. Usually your classmates are the ones they put you the nickname, but something curios for me when living in the USA is that people asked you if they could call you that way.

That was very different from Mexico when people start asking you a way you don’t want to be called, while in the USA, because many reason like getting sued for many reasons, even one time I was asked if I could be called “Texas” because a shirt a brought to Team Sports class, they even thought I was from that place also because the different way I talked and looked.

3 centuries, 3 celebrations

, , , ...

During these months, Chihuahua is going to celebrate in 1 more year 3 centuries after its foundation, that is in 2009 and in 2010 it will celebrate, as with all Mexico the Independence (1810) and Revolution (1910) days; being a coincidence that those dates are close together.

To celebrate, there have been many things like the “Chihuahua saga” of lights and sound that consists of 15 minutes relating the story of the foundation of Chihuahua and its culture. Xavier de Richemont has done the scenery around the world and now its the turn to Chihuahua.

If you want to visit a place qwith many events and culture you should visit Chihuahua, and you won't forget it.

Would it be ...?

, , , ...

What would you do if you suddenly lost contact of a loved one during many years and you tried to get information of them, even with the internet and it would be very difficult. What would happen if after many time looking you were sure that you found that person. How would you feel? Exasperated because that person has had you email, an old one you keep only waiting to get contacted by that person, and that person has never tried to send you an email? I would like to write that person’s name but I won’t do it and just want to see her again one more time.
