Alexander McQueen for Scarlett Johansson in Lucy Movie

I just saw the Lucy movie last week and I almost let pass a dress that rocks!

Scarlett Johansson is wearing this dress at the begging of the movie -where the real excitement happens- and she is covered on top with a very punk leopard jacket with metal zipper. Loved her look.

In the scene where she is entering to the hotel I fell in love with this dress and said out loud: -She looks incredible I want that dress!- My friend next to me laughed and said: - I was going to say that she looked like a whore-. 

In the begging that comment annoyed me but then I saw him and said: -She looks like a rock star and we agree rock stars can dress however they want even as a whores.- My friend agreed with me.

This is an Alexander McQueen dress.  At a glance I thought the print was a red & orange tiger but if you look close enough the print is a butterfly in a Kaleidoscope and searching in the internet I found that the color is Terracotta.

You can read the dress details in the webpage below. The dress cost less than $150 dlls and I am seriously thinking in buying one for me :)

In the rock-and-beauty-meter this dress got a 7 from 10 stars \m/

Keep on rocking!!

CHALLENGE YOURSELF EVERY DAY

I will not eat sugar all week!

This is from Monday through Sunday. Why?

It is time to challenge myself a little. I am tired all time for going from work to school to church, etc. But there are things that we have to try to get done a little better. Let explain myself. I have been very lazy since I have no longer a boyfriend, I am caught in this "I do not care" attitude. I arrive late to work, I choose the sugary drink instead of water, I skip gym days, I do homework one day before the day I have to send it to the professor, I procrastinate a lot, etc.

Now I want to change to the "I can do it better" attitude, "I won't give up" attitude, "Let's do it" attitude. Well I think you got the point.

The first challenge I want to try is to not eat sugar one entire week, this include candies -what convenient that Halloween just ended ha ha-, any Soda, my very loved Starbucks frapuccino with a lot of caramel on top, bread, juice, ice cream, and so on.

This will be really hard but it is time to change some bad habits in my life. The high consumption of sugar is really bad, cellulite is caused by sugar, also diabetes -that I have 50% of chances to have because my father has it, thank you dad!-, it is bad for my skin, it make us feel very tired just to mention some consequences.

I will let you know day by day how I am doing with this. Wish me luck :)

Are you challenge yourself any soon?

TIME TO MOVING OUT OF MY MOTHER'S HOUSE??

I'm 25 years OLD now. Should I move out of my Mom's house?
There is this very famous cliché that says that the youngest daughter (me) has to take care of the mother until she (the daughter) marries, most importantly when the Mother has no longer a husband.

The 21's sounds perfect for leaving the nest, some girls do it earlier in their lives but sometimes when you are really comfortable living with your parents you start to think that at the 24's you are still young enough to let your mommy do your laundry, after all your mother do it with pleasure :) but when you turn 25! oh my holy wow! suddenly you realize your are almost 30 and start to think about how you can still let your little brother sleep with you because you are afraid of dark -nothings that happens to me of course- 25 is almost 30 if you round it up!!o_o

So I have decided to move out :) and I am so excited about this new chapter of my life. This is not happening any soon yet because I am in the middle of my MBA and I have not saved enough money for my new car and I am planning moving to another city so I need to figure out a few things before give this big step. Sorry mother, your little rocker is leaving for good :)

I will move to a big city near and also I am planning to enter to the school again and change my career, it will be an impossible adventure, very dangerous and full of rock and roll. I imagine myself sleeping in a super small room with nothing but my hard rock boots and my guitar -that I do not have yet- and stay semi alive eating every two days ha ha I can't wait. But I know it won't happen exactly that way, I have family where I am planning to live, specially an uncle that I love that will give me a place to stay, but I'm totally buying that guitar \m/

And what are you ready for?

Divine Justice.

I have been thinking in God very much lately. Six thousands of millions of people in the world and, is He really taking care of me? How can He notice me? I am so insignificant, so small, so weak. Thoughts like these pushed me to pray and cry and pray. Then I had the sudden necessity to let go feelings that were suffocating me slowly inside.

I have detected some areas of my life I can do a huge improvement and I am ready to do a lot of changes. First of all I went with the bishop of my church and I confessed everything I have been doing wrong in the last couple of years. It was really hard, I was very embarrassed, but when I was finally out of that office a huge weight disappeared from my body. It was a blessing.

In order to change you first need to recognize that you did something wrong and you have to feel deeply sorry about it, then you have to confess -until here I am doing fine-. Next step is restitution or trying to fix the things you have done wrong and apologize people you hurt -I am working on this step-. And finally you have to take the important decision to commit to never do the same mistakes again.

It may sound easy but Gosh! it is really really hard.

I have been in this process a little while and I am feeling alone and sad, and this is normal, it suppose you have to feel this way. This horrible feeling is what you get for not doing things right, its the price you have to pay, its the way you will learn and remember that everything has consequences. This is called Justice.

When I am feeling very desperate I start to think how patience is God with us. He waits and waits very patiently for us to do the things right, and when we finally do we want immediate blessings, like if we deserve that our lives were fixed in just one day. That is not how this works.

So relax, take a deep breath every time you need, pray a lot, be patience, be good, work hard, love everyone, be kind, and it may seem nothing is changing now but it will, once you change inside everything will change outside, for good and it will be magnificent. ♥

I FEEL UGLY!

It is incredible the power a human being can have on someone. One person can make us smile, cry, even fly and sometimes -like me the last couple of days- someone can make us feel ugly.

Who is that ugly person starring at me in the mirror? oh! I am.

You are watching you, the same person that you have always been, but you do not recognize yourself anymore.

When that bags below my eyes appeared? Are these wrinkles? Oh my nose is too big. My hair is too dry. My skin is too greasy. My arms are huge. My teeth are not white enough. I look tired.

That person left you with nothing. No hope. No love. No self esteem. All is just empty.

And that is the signal when you know you don't love you anymore... and also there is no better time to start doing it again.

The thing we need to understand is that you are the only one that can grant that power to other people. That is the power to control you. How we feel everyday is the gasoline of our achievements. You have to learn to do productive things even though you are feeling totally destroyed inside. The days when we feel like crap will always exist. You need to learn how to make them work.

Be strong. Weakness will carry you to nowhere very fast.

Don't stop me now..

Writing. It is the one and only thing that I know I could be good at in this life. I am ready to follow that dream. There is an amazing college in LA that it is called Emerson. Wow. I would kill to attend that school. I just keep dreaming and dreaming about my first day there. On Saturday I was searching the requirements to assist and that was a really turn off. Tuition pfff.. I supposed mirrors have gold made frames. o_o

 After being a little sad about seeing my dream so far and almost impossible I realized that I will try it anyway. I mean, Why not?  There is only one life, even if I can go just one semester it will be the best semester of my life. I have to try to enter, there is no other way and I have nothing to lose.

Money should be the less worry when you really want to give the best of you in something that you love. I know being a writer is my really true calling and I will never let that money or any other sacrifice stop me to do it. I can and I will.

We should be strong and stubborn enough to embrace and defend what is better for us. Other people will never understand. It is not selfish to pursue what you want despite anyone else is thinking. After all you could never truly love someone if you don't love yourself first.

Don't hesitate. Don't slow down. If it is not know, when?

Hate being single.

I broke up with my boyfriend last week. Even when I know it is the best still hurts when I remember him. The first two days I felt fine but I cried a lot the third day. I guess it is the abstinence syndrome. He was my best friend. I really enjoyed his company.

Still he is just another man in this world full of them, maybe I will be sad one or two months but later I will be fine. I really always knew that I was too much for him. I will find a man that really loves me. I have no intentions to think that I will never find a man like him or to be depressed. I refuse! I refuse! I refuse! It is not the end of the world.

The thing that I really hated of my break up is that in a moment of desperation I thought that I was not enough. How in earth we put a man in the top of the world and let him to run our lives? For a moment I let him be the owner of my future. When we lose a loved one, why we allow ourselfs to feel like life has no longer sense?

In a point I felt so miserable that I thought I could never be happy again. LIES! Those are lies that we create. A break up with someone is a door that has infinity of opportunities behind it. An opportunity to love yourself, to enter to that class of guitar or dance that you ever wanted but never had the time, to start going to the gym, a chance to know better persons, to travel to a new place. Anything and everything you want.

Put your head up, start to think in the future, work in becoming a better person and in some point, when you least expect it, love will be in front of you again but in the body of someone better. Now smile.
