DeAr OcTuBrE!!

ay ay ay ooh Well, ooo well!!
a lot has happened since i last posted, unfortunately almost anything exciting has been part of it...
These past months have been insanely busy though
 Im going to quickly list what i have been up to

• Im going  ISSS to therapy 3 days weekly .
• I have been teaching to children in a public school for a month.
•  My arm is still in pain but hopefully recovery will come soon.
• Walking my parrots has become a rutine ;) ....really enjoy hanging out with them i love them!!
• Insted of swimming, i use my time either running or gym 
• Watching the boys hit the pool makes me envious of them :(
• Homework, presentations, homework, exams, homework,exams, class, examenes , tareas, clases uusssh drives me nuts
• Just in this last few moths i have read 4 books(Great Expectations, Sense and Sensibility, Macbeth and Frankeinstein) without counting the ones i read the rest of the year!! a new PB for me jaja.... i just figured out that reading has become a hobby now =) which im enjoying a lot.

As i say, it is unbelievable how times goes by. imagine, october is about to end and out of a sudden, 2010 will farewell us. Sometimes i feel desperated for my injure not healed and there are moments in which i get sad and depressed because of this fruitless 2010 sport season. Even though everything has been going downhill, i say to myself that i can get the possitive side out of this. If i cant swim nor bike (its been impossible for me  to get one still). Im able to run and improve my technique and strenght and  thats the best part of tri. If youre injured, there are 2 or 1 sport there for you, therefore, youre never inactive.

Yesterday, i made a presentation about SUPERVOLCANOS at Uni, and i was socked that a volcano in indonesia released its fury.After an earthquake and a tsunami , a volcano?? whats next???:S, i feel sad for this people, it shouldnt happen specially to vulnerable places . Today a Russian volacano woke up too. Nature is warning us and this may be the response more nature is giving. So i invite everybody to cheak our actions towards it. Later on, the consequences will hit us if we keep mistreating this wonderful world we call Earth; and maybe the wise words of  WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE make us think deeply ;)

Yo solo quiero la paz en EL SALVADOR!!!

aaaaay no!! no no no mas por favor =( .... not again !!!

wtf!! no more pleasee aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy !!!! "·$%&@#~~€¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

 im sorry to start  this way but i dont know how to unburden myself !!!

I cant beleive this is happening to me!!! im not in the best mood now, i dont know who to talk to :( ,,, this is not right, im not okay  neither physically nor mentally (im not crazy, though)..... so you may wonder why i am saying this by this blog. The truth is that i feel  im now in a dead end.

1. The new change was suiting us, my new coaches are champions, it feels sooo different and peaceful, but i think that when you do not pay attention to your past injuries, consequences can show up again. So i was starting to feel awful when swimming the past 2 months , i knew it was not me, the hardest i swam, the most painful it felt. I could not believe it, i cried several times at the pool, i was unable to make a tough stroke because it hurt so bad. It has turned a nightmare when trying to swim, how come? why me again? the truth is that i have an injury in my pectoral, when i finished my swimming workouts, my left side looked swollen, more than the right one ( crap!! not again), i kept training since i did not want to stop and lose my fitness, but yesterday it waaaaaaaaay hurt, my pectoral had bursted so badly. I figured this could not keep going the same, i needed to do something.
Thanks God my parents are always there for me, supporting and advising me. I went to see the dr. and he told me i had a serious tendinitis, same as last year, same place, same pain. I feel frustrated since i had taken a lot of medicines to lessen the pain this past 2 moths, but nothing had worked. Im soooo worried since i want to be healthy, i dont want to dissapoint anyone.So i just want to be back to normal, please arm, heal!!!!!.

2. Its pretty tough when you want to move forward and succeed in this wonderful sport, specially if you had worked hard...  but there are factors that storm your effort such as the conditions and mean people.So, as you may know, i didnt have my No 1 weapon for the battle , my bike. Luckily, someone gave me a  suuuper frame, it was waaay too big for me, though :( but as you know, everything has a solution.
My coach suggested to equip the new frame and bring my brothers bike to me since hes bike was my size. Therefore, i could have at least a bike for  training and.start gaining the fitness i had lost. Raul, my brother, felt he was riding a motocycle when he first rode this machine jajajajajaja, he did amazing in the last cycling race.

I am sorry to spread my sorrow to you.....but in a possitive note, i finished my exams yesterday yay!! i am starting my practices at university and altough everything is turning more difficult, i think i am feeling waaaay happier since i will be finishing my degree pretty soon!!O well!! i know things may be tough sometimes, i just try to stay calm and not to freak out !! i know everything will be alright with my arm PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE.


peace

One more year, a new start !!

After reading this quote, i could see myself  in it. I cant believe how fast time flies by, wow!!!  now im 21 which means a new start, a new opportunity, new coaches :), and specially new challenges.
A lot has happened this last few months, now my teammates and myself are more motivated than ever, this change has been a plus for all of us.
So now we are starting little by little, with what it is possible, and with what it is necessary . I think everything happens for a reason, it is sad that ES athletes are with zero support and economical conditions are not in our favour,  it does not mean we are going to be depressed, resentful and stop training. Moreover, i am so proud of my sister Stefani for her hard work, she has been so determined in her training and hopefully, she will be a medallist in CODICADER games next month, Raul and Luisito are pushing themselves up too, they are doing their best and it will pay off in the long run. . Many thanx to Gatorade and everyone for their support and understanding.
As for other news, i celebrated my birthday last Saturday, my friends  came over and we all had  a blast.

holidays are over, loved them though :)..... .. now back to school !!

Holaa... i cant belive how fast time has gone!!!
A month ago i was so excited i had finished my 7th semester and now  im back to university again !!! jajaja ... impressive jujuju !!! ... it´s a good thing, though since i know that as long as this year finishes, i will miss only one year and hopefully i will finally get my degree, and im only 20!!...

Well, this little break has been quite different from the others and i have to admit that it has been the best one ever!

I spent my time with a foreign group from an Non gobernamental Organisation doing some social work for the Salvadorean community . We all built a school in Caluco, Sonsonate, and also delivered ecological stoves that  are very efficient as they burn much less wood and so ease the problem of deforestation. They're also nearly smokeless since it reduces the incidence of bronchitis and other bronchial problems among the mums and young women, this was in Cerro Las Flores. We also visited historical and arqueologhycal  places to learn about the Salvadorean history. We went to Coatepeque Lake and Metalio Beach !..
I learnt a lot from this experience, it has made me realise how lucky i am for the life i have(im healthy, i have a family, a house, education). I felt so bad with myslef after visiting the poor areas of my country.They are so vulnerable :(. I wish i could change the harsh reality of my fellow Salvadoreans, but i know that it will take a lot of effort and willigness from the goverment to overcome this situation. I know the reality El Salvador is in  because i am living it, i know what it is like  . But it makes me so sad that there are people living in a worse situation. It makes me angry how unfair life is sometimes !!.=(
Overall, i am grateful of having this experience as i was able to help and share with the people from Caluco...you cant belive how kind and honest they are, specially the kids from the school...i also had the opportunity to meet this foreing people and practice my english with them, it made me so HAPPY the fact that they enjoyed being in El Salvador !!!! i could show them how beautiful my country is... i hope they come back next year.



anywayssssssssss, i will be updating soon  !!!

God bless you all!!
