What to do?

Ok. So I am thinking about creating a blog about two main topics. I usually write about life thoughts on this blog, but I am feeling enthusiastic about making two blogs that have themes around them. The first idea, of course, has to do with make up and beauty! The second blog is about my journey trying to live a healthier, leaner and more active lifestyle. Quite difficult when you actually have to sit down to write the blog, or upload things on it. But I am a little hesitant about doing a "losing weight" blog, because I´m scared something might not work out, or I might not reach a goal, or that by actually putting myself out there, I might be risking too much. What if I don´t follow through? What if I don´t do what I am proposing myself to do. The make up blog, seems fun to me and it´s something I enjoy, but the lose weight blog, seems risky! What should I do followers???? Maybe both??? Give me some feedback!

Sometimes cherries can have too much sugar.

So lately I have been realizing that due to my methodical ways, I continuely feel frustrated that there is always a better or more perfect way of doing things. I remember reading Dr. Phil´s "7 Keys to Weightloss" and defining myself as a person who goes to extremes when eating. I can´t have just one of the desserts at the party. I have to try a little of all of them, and then: how on Earth can I go to a party and have not even one drink or appetizer? I must as well just pig out! So, that´s one issue. At school I always think of better ways I could organize myself. When it comes to lifestyle, I have even thought of maybe making a chart to check off every month for when I call my grandmother, or maybe grocery shopping.
Creative people aren´t so uptight about things, some of us though, I think, are right in between. It´s a constant conflict of organization and freedom. It´s quite draining! But at the end of it all we have to give ourselves the freedom to find comfort and happiness in what we do. I always believe that sitting at the computer is such a waste of time sometimes. Which means that I am wasting time now! See what I mean.... Anyway, the cherry on top, on this ocassion, is to find balance. Each to their own, but in the search for balance and happiness in our own particular routines, we can find peace. The oriental culture has prouded itself on finding ways to perfect just about everything they do, so even if you are folding a shirt, writing, singing, listening to music, cooking or eating, try to make it something enjoyable and try to find peace in everything you do. So eat your cherries and yes,,, I named today´s blog "sometimes cherries have too much sugar" because these past couple of weeks I have been such a sugar junkie, from sweet hojaldras, to carrot cake and cookies. But hopefully the next cherry will be about starting a workout routine!
Until next time!
By the way here is a pic of my class for Halloween this year and some good friends during the parade at school!

How to tell we are in the future....

So I realized today that style and fashion tell me that I am literally "in the future". I was driving and I saw a "punk rocker". You know, the tube skinny jeans, a belt to the side and pointy hair. So that made me think of the 80´s.  Then crossing the street was a girl wearing bell bottoms (known today, as flared jeans).Which reminded me of the 70´s. After that I saw a guy on his bicycle and he was wearing one of those old style hats, reminiscent of the 40´s and 50´s. So what is fashion in the future? Just a big pot of everything. I really don´t see clothes changing anytime soon. Not in a radical way. I´m sure we won´t go back to bloomers and huge heavy dresses or corsets. Maybe not a great thought of the day, but if there is anytime to be yourself and find a personal style, it´s now!

Looking at things in a sweet way....

So, my blog is called the "Cherry on top" and its whole purpose is to look at things positively, I found myself in an odd thought and situation today. Usually at Puebla street corners, you´ll once in a while be bombarded by one or two men trying to convince you to let them clean your windshield. I usually get very upset and yell constantly that I don´t want them anywhere near my car. But today I thought "well why don´t they just go for it!, it could use a good cleaning today!" Then in less than one minute both the windshield and back glass had been completely cleaned. I gave the guy 5 pesos and when he looked at his hand he held it toward his friend in awe of how much money it was compared to what they usually get.
I always have found myself complaining at these people. But if you look at it with the "cherry on top" philosophy you´ll find that it´s actually pretty nice to have your car cleaned in such haste and swiftness. I had realized with the rain and all, that some residue was started to accumulate in these forgotten areas. Now I can view this situation in a whole new light. One of the perks of living in Mexico. Or one of the downsides, if you don´t want to eat today´s cherry.

Why? The cherry on top.

OK. So a couple of friends have convinced me that a blog is a way to write about your life, thoughts and experiences. I always thought my life was pretty random, but have realized that maybe with a little bit of thought and my "wonderful sense of humor" and a tad of sarcasm on occasion it might be a good way to share things with family and friends who aren´t so close. So I have named my Blog "The cherry on top". I love cherries! Especially the nasty medicine tasting ones! So when I have a dessert or ice cream that cherry will be the very last thing I eat! I always leave the best for the last bite. So hopefully allthough some of my thoughts might be random to me or some experiences as well, they are the cherry on top for me. I have to view everyday like if it were. We need to search for happiness everyday. I once asked a woman in a store why she was always so cheerful and what she answered was "I´m with God!" I loved her answer so much, that I felt the same way. So if you like cherries, or chocolate or even a good shrimp cocktail. Live every day like if it were your last bite! I´m going to particulary continue to work a bit this weekend because I start school on Monday, so I´ll probably be eating a disgusting head of garlic all by itself! But even garlic can be tasty! Tune in for the next entry.... who knows what will run through my thoughts! But do know they´ll probably be funny and great stories of a newlywed 20..10.... year old....(not the year).
