Down to #32

I was just checking the ranking of the New7Wonders and now the Rio Platano Biosphere is on number 32!!! Until a couple of days ago we were still on position 30…
I know there´s still plenty of time, but it´s not a good thing that we are getting sooo behind…
Come on people, Vote! I can assure you that it´s a beautiful place! That REALLY deserves to win!

Finished Booties!

Just a tiny update on the whole knitting business… :D I started the hat, but wasn’t too pleased with the size so I frogged it… and got myself to make the booties, and this is what I came up with…

Hopefully, I’ll start the hat sometime tomorrow and get it finished in time…

Knitting for babies…

After my uncle apparently thought that I was pregnant because of the blouse I was wearing today, I´m backing up his image by knitting a baby hat and booties… Not for me obviously, but for my dad´s sister, she had a baby girl last week and we are going to meet her this weekend. It seems like the perfect excuse to knit a little… I do have a bunch of wips (Work In Progress) but I need something small… you know, some instant gratification… :D

This are the patterns that I´ll be using:
-Carissa´s Preemie Hats (Eyelet and/or 2×2 rib version)
-April´s Knit Mary Jane Booties or Saartjes Booties (the Bockstar Way)

They look so adorable and I think they´ll look pretty together, knitted in the same yarn… So, pictures soon…

Not much new…

Hey guys! I’m sorry I’ve been missing this last few days… But I’m ending the term at school and things have really been hectic…

The documentary is almost finished… all that was left to do was put some details, like the name of the documentary and some guys name that they forgot to put… but apart from that everything was done! :D Sadly they put my name on the credits as writer of the text for it, and I’m quite against it… I would have preferred if they’ve said something like “editor” or something… because what I really did was edit the text while they were recording the off (what you hear while looking at different images), but at this point there isn’t much that I can do…
Apart from that, there isn’t much going on…

Waiting to finally finish this term and getting a couple of weeks off… I can’t wait! I really want to cook… Cookies and or something like that… but I’m sooooo slow when I cook that I need time to spend all the time I want cooking… I really want to make Carrot Cake… But I need to find some decent recipe, cause I’ve never made one… Any pointers?

Oh and lastly, my knees are almost as good as new! :D All the pain was totally worth it, they are not entirely fixed but they look sooo much better now! And soon they’ll be back to normal… :D


Bracelets and rings and thingies….

Before writing my posts invasion I spend a very long time doing my daily share of window shopping at Etsy… I have to accept the fact that I am madly in love with Etsy, it’s like craftster’s heaven! So many pretty things!!! Today I spend all afternoon watching rings! All sizes and colors and materials, there’s a tiny teacup that’s calling out for me to get it… It’s so adorable…
And also the sweetest swarovski crystals’ ring that the seller calls a
Finger Necklace!!!!
And I was planning on going to bed, but I was giving a last check on my Google Reader and saw this really easy bracelet on FutureGirl’s Blog:D I am sooo tempted of buying some pretty lace tomorrow and a pretty button… and make one, or a bunch… :D
Damn, I can’t! I need to go to get my tests done, and my wounds cleaned and need to see how the documentary is going… but I will make it! Maybe add some tiny beads here and there to make it look more pretty…

Now I’m off to bed… I just saw the bracelet and wanted to post the tutorials link… it looks sooo feminine… It’s such a nice touch, spending almost nothing and barely doing anything!

To San Lorenzo and back again…

I’ve been missing for the last few days cause I had to go on trip for my Periodismo Televisivo II(TV Journalism) class. We have to make a documentary on San Lorenzo, a town in south of Honduras.

San Lorenzo is the bigger city in the departamento of Valle, where you can find the port of Henecan, Honduras port in the pacific.

I left on Friday and came back until Sunday, sadly enough I had a bit of an accident as I was walking into the Mercado Municipal and REALLY hurt my knees… I planned on going out on Saturday night for dinner and after the whole mess I decided not to, it was hard enough to climb the stairs to my hotel room… And now today I had to go to the school’s clinic cause they weren’t looking any better… It was a good thing that I did, well… not that good… apparently they were infected and they had to clean it ALL! And man, did that hurt!!!! But that was just what I needed! It looks soooo much better now, sadly tomorrow I need to get it cleaned again…


Here are some pictures of the trip, hopefully I can get the documentary video once we finish the edition… It’s in spanish, and I probably won’t be in any of the shots as it was planned but still… :-p

New7Wonders….Number 28?

I thought I should see how well the Platano River was doing after the minor setback we had last month… and now we are in 28th position!!!!! Why?!
Being out of the competition for three days made us go from 20 to 26, and now, we are in 28!

So, come on people vote! Even if you are not Honduran… :-p We need all the help we can get!

To blog or not to blog?

Lately, I’ve been working a little in the blog’s backstage, nothing really important, just analizing a bit of the data that I’ve been getting…. I’ve realized that a “worked” blog is not as simple as an improvised one… Analizing all these data, and keywords and trying to figure out what widgets and things work… and which ones don’t… it’s a bit annoying…But I do like all the work it involves… I guess it has to do with the sense of pride you get…

A blog might not be the most important thing in the world… and many people would still ask me What’s a blog? (Yeah, they do ask me that…. even owning a laptop with wifi….) but I think it’s a good way to vent, or comment on subjects that some people might be curious about, but they’ve never dared to ask… Like my brother today, asking me about the Cinco de Mayo post….

I still remember when I started to hear about blogs a couple of years ago… it seemed to me like this really silly idea… I mean, why would people read what you have to say… there’s much more interesting things to do online… but hey, it could turn out that what you have to say, actually makes sense for someone on the other side of the world…. or maybe it doesn’t, but they find it entertaining, silly, or just annoying…

As a journalism student, I think it’s a good way to pretend to be one… and also practice my english a bit more (yes, even more!)

I’m still wondering who’s reading this blog… I know of a couple of people that check it regularly but there are a few regulars that I have no idea who they are, how they got here, and why they come back…
Leave a comment or just a hi!… I’m eager to hear from you…
