2014

Hi! It has been quite a few months since i have not blogged formally (apart from some snapshots&videos)...The truth is, I havent yet organised my time in order to write a descent post. However, I can truly say that I am super happy as well as grateful for the new 2014 adjustments :)
Indeed, 2014 brought new surprises and will surely bring new challenges!!!
I got a new bike and a new internship at USAID Transparency and Anticorruption Program, which are the best things that have happened so far. =)
When it comes to the internship, I must express my motivation, happiness and greatfulness, I have learnt so much in such a short period of time and I am soooo looking forward to learning more and more, I will write about my experience in another post, though

I will post later but here i leave some 2014 pictures :))

Feliz año nuevo

Hola mis estimados amigos blogueros

Este es mi último post del año, cerramos el 2013 con muchas experiencias, altibajos,  que definitivamente han marcado mi vida. En particular, este año fue sin duda un año de aprendizaje y estoy muy agradecida con todos aquellos que me han acompañado en el transcurso de estas experiencias. Mil gracias a Dios, mi familia, amigos acá en ESA y fuera de mi país, universidad (UNICAES), consejeros, a mis amigos Federación Salvadoreña de Triatlón ESA y a mis estimados amigos de la oficina de asuntos públicos/culturales de la Embajada Americana en San Salvador, con quienes tuve la oportunidad de convivir así como pude ser participe en muchas actividades que contribuyen al desarrollo de nuestro país. En serio, no existen palabras para devolverles mi agradecimiento; sin embargo, tengan la plena certeza que estoy muy ansiosa y emocionada por lo que viene en 2014. Como siempre, estaré con la mayor disponibilidad de enfrentar los diferentes desafíos y cumplir con mis metas..

Solamente me queda desearles lo mejor para este próximo año y a tomar los retos con optimismo y positivismo.

¡Feliz año nuevo y Abrazos desde El Salvador!

2003-2013 and on....

I go back in 2003 and see myself racing an ironkids tri for the first time in this pool, I see myself now swiming in this very same pool; nothing has changed!

btw, today we were having a great time post training and loving the weather jajaja!!

December 2013

It shocks me the fact that 2013 is about to farewell us!! Indeed, between projects, educational fairs, doctor visits,   presentations, events, training and holidays the time has FLOWN by! 
December kicked off with the celebration of the second anniversary of "Partnership for Growth/Asocio para el Crecimiento", which is a long term goal project between ESA and US governments. This agreement was signed in 2011 and It intends to fight some of the main issues El Salvador faces nowadays. For example, State security, lack of production and education! It is indeed an honour to be part of this brilliant project since it gives me a sense of hope and possitivism in regards to our country´s future. I am aware that El Salvador is far from becoming as prosperous as other developed States yet everything takes a process; It will not be an easy rode but I am optimistic that our present and upcoming generations will hold accountability for the sake of our nation.
Overall, I believe this is an amazing initiative; two years have passed and I am already witnessing possitive outcomes regarding education and productivity. If you wish to know more about this wonderful project, i highly recommend to visit the US Embassy in San Salvador website

When it comes to sport, I am really happy with my latest results. Last Sunday, I competed in the open water swimming nationals and I won the first slot in the female division. I am really happy since i did not exepct it!
On December the 8th, I also raced on the Triathlon Relay Championships where my team earned 2nd slot :)

I feel really blessed with everything I have experienced throughout this year, regardless the negatives and possitives, I am just excited and curious for 2014.
