Mexico City

Last Week I went to Mexico City, I walked around downtown I wasn't as scary as it used to be, i think the goverment and the people have been working really hard to improve it the last years. Fist of all they have public rental bikes for all people and they have a special kind of road for them and most of the car drives they DO respect them, like I said most of them there are a few neanderthals that dont get the idea of respecting others. They also are in the middle of a pedestrians education campaign where they pay people who stands in the corner of every busy crosswalk in the downton with a big microphone telling people what to do I know it sounds kind of insulting but I truly think that this is what people need !!!!, most of what those guys said was kind of very obvious to me but some of the people near me never heard of that stuff before they where like amazed of what he was saying !!!! but its not that they are not intelligent the thing is that most of them are being educated by TV soap operas and cheap not quality Television and meaningful radio music with a BIG lack of content but i did not aplaude this al thought i like it, this kind of ideas and education spreading should not be just in the capital it has to be in very corner in every bus station , inside of ever bus and even inside every home in order to change the ideas of every mexican and became what we can be.

Matar al dinero con IDEAS

Creo que la pobreza verdadera no esta en el salario, si en las mentes de la gente que cree que el dinero es la cura para todos los problemas del mundo, o bien para los problemas propios, creo que como Mexicanos nuestra riqueza tal vez no este dentro de nuestro bolsillo si no en nuestra creatividad para hacer las cosas para mejorarlas y aunque muchos no lo veamos las mentes de nosotros Mexicanos son mas ricas en IDEAS, que las tierras de nuestro pais lo son en RECURSO.Por que apesar de que sea poco loque gane una persona muchos de ellos hacen lo improbable , lo inimaginable para sacar a su familia de 5 o 6 adelante con IDEAS no con DINERO.

Dream

Simon King once said , " If you follow your dreams they can ta you to dark places" I believe that this is so true, because sometimes in the path of a dream you have to pass this dark areas where you can not see not even glimpse of light at the end of the road but I do think that just a test to see how much you can handle. Because if the best is yet to come you better be prepared don´t you think ?

Diversity 1

Living in a highly Machista country here particularly called ( macho ), while you grow here you learn how boys don't cry , that behaving like a girl is something to be diminish is even an insult to men. Me as a woman living in a culture like this is kind of hard, because while I was growing up I came by a lots of questions about this topic including a comment that I made to my mom when I was 5 years old since at that age I thought most of the laws where a little bit unfair specially for women I told her that I wanted to become a president in order to change my country's constitution. That's a very impressive way of thinking considering my age at that time but I didn't stop there. Since I was living in Mexico City and I have asma since I was 3 years old, I wasn't able to go a play with other kids my age with out having an asma episode , I end up developing my very own personal idea of how we should play such games as Barbie dolls or the small society that you try to recreate in those games. But who would have know that I was no near the ideas of those girls that I saw from the window. In a very particular day My mom let me out to play the neighborhood girls with my Barbies, so I went there and they have their own perpective of society because their games where about weddings, marriage and shopping. For me I wasn't like that at all , and this is the most representative of the moments that mark me as the weird one and ever since I just prefer to be called weird than be called one of some group, So this is what it happen I asked them what a about a job and their professions ???? They all stopped and look at me as if I where just crazy !!!!! From that moment I was called weird girl by them, but i didn't even matter to me so i just ignore them and apreciatte every time that I went out to see the trees the birds and identify them from what i read and what i saw in the real garden. I guess thats not clear but since I got that incredible gift of being able to be my self and not feeding in a society that wants me to belong to those girls ideas of a so called " life " I was very glad to have asma instead. That story talks so much about how we as girls are educated to educate Machos and create that big gap between being female and male. dont you think so ?
