Closing Cycles

Close the 2016 cycle

I bet you're thinking: "What the hell is wrong with Luzyi?" Yes, this is a safety button of a handbag and as you can see, it's closed. What does this mean? It means this cycle of 2016 it's closed and I'm ready to move to 2017! One cycle ends, another starts and it brings new opportunities, new experiences, new failures, new triumphs, new friends, new knowledge, new dreams...

 

Humans have the ability to adapt to any circumstance no matter how hard. Maybe 2016 was a damned bastard with you, maybe it was a good year or maybe it was a fricking bumpy ride... Mine? It was a combination of damned bastard and bumpy ride! Just because 2016 wasn't good enough doesn't mean 2017 will be the same. Now, there are 2 types of people: the ones who just thought 2017 can be worst and the ones that thought 2017 will be better. Things can get worse or better but it's us who decide how we will face every situation. For every problem, there's a solution and we have the power to choose what to do.

So let's close the 2016 cycle and receive 2017 with open arms. Show the new year your not afraid of what's coming your way.

Happy New Year!

Ha! Life!

In case you didn't notice, LIFE IS NOT FAIR! Yeah, it's true! Worst of all? It's fricking funny how life show you how bitchy she is! Oh, you don't believe me? Let me bild my case...

Let's talk about hair! My hair have own will.... translated into modern language means: my hair do whatever it wants. It doesn't follow orders, it's messy, arrogant and even savage. So you spent, I don't even know how much money, trying to make your hair look at least "decent" and then life show you a beautiful hairy flower while pointing at you, laughing and saying "In your face!"

This flower have better hair than me!

You go walking down the street and you see a dog with better hair than you, wearing an amazing designer shirt, drinking imported water and you think "Jesus Christ, that dog have better life than me!"

You go to your backyard, start watering your plants then you touched one leaf and you noticed it's softer than your skin. Yeah, that leaf it's softer than your skin... the skin you protect, clean and mosturize every day and then you go to your room, grab that expensive hand lotion and scream: "Why the hell you don't make my skin soft like that leaf?" Then you starting to think in bathing in gardening products to see if you can obtain a wonderful skin.

Beautiful and soft leaf

Hey, don't worry! I'm just kidding here! It's not like I'm gonna submerge myself in miracle grow or something! Now, seriously speaking... nature it's awesome! Yes, it can show you how unfair life is but maybe it's time to run wild and let the sun and rain take care of your appearance....

Who knows....

Insomnia It's A Girl!

Oh sleep, where are you? I have trouble falling to sleep. Insomnia and I have been besties since... wow, I don't even remember. We're friends! It's impossible to not being friend with her (yeah, Insomnia it's a girl) we've been together for so much time, we hang out every night, she's always with me. You see? We're besties!

                                                       Guadalupe thinking about existence

At night Inso (I call her like that) and I have long deep conversations about philosophy, religion, art, science and life. We talk, we laugh, we watch asian movies, anime, korean dramas (I told you I was getting near to become a Korean dramaholic... also, I'm already a Chinese movieholic) we listen to music, we do everything together.

Inso it's a tough girl! It doesn't matter if I try to get rid of her with medicines, she never leaves me... that's how much she loves me, or hate me... who knows! Now that I think, she's always there for me. In happiness and sadness, in sickness and health, in poverty and wealth... wait a minute, am I married to Insomnia?! OMG! That will explain a lot!

I will have to talk very seriously with Inso tonight... I really want the divorce! While I have a very tough conversation with her, go and have a nice sleep! Go!

Bless The Sandwich!

I don't know who the hell invented the sandwich and I'm not gonna google it either... I'm very lazy these days... but I do know one thing, sandwiches are the best invention EVER!! 

                                                 3 cheese, honey ham grilled sandwich

They're delicious, convenient, easy to make, they kill the hunger and the options are endless... yes, ENDLESS!

You're hungry and you have leftovers in your fridge? Make a sandwich! You are really hungry but you're laziness made flesh? Make a sandwich! You woke up feeling like an international master chef but your fridge it's almost empty? Make a sandwich!

                                                                Baked pork leg sandwich

Next time you're hungry, in a hurry, feeling like eating something "gourmet" go and prepare a sandwich and while you're at it, bless the person who invented it!

Bon appetite!

Baking Mad Scientist!

I love baking desserts! I love sugar, period! You already knew that... remember my chocoholic post? It's fun to make desserts, especially when you experiment with flavors like a mad scientist... and I'm a crazy baking mad scientist!

My family is always asking me to bake stuff and the number 1 request I always get is.... wait for it, wait for it... Flan!

                                  Baking vanilla flan

Warning: From now on, chances of me saying how awesome my flan is, are very high... Deal with it! (What a crappy attitude!)

Let's start the "my flan it's awesome" pride parade, shall we?

I had taste many flans in my life. I even dare to say hundreds of them but none of them are better than mine, NONE! It took me years of errors and experiments to get to my flawless recipe. Too many burned caramels, too many burns in my hands, too many crappy flans until I reach my delicious creamy dreamy flan.

                                   The final results

My brother in law always ask me for flan... actually instead of saying "Hi sis in law" he says "Where's the flan?"... yeah, not even a hello. That awesome my flan is!  We all have a secret recipe (and with this you just realize I will never going to reveal my secret recipe) that makes us proud. Some are good with cookies (I'm a disaster with cookies), others make wonderful cakes and I think we can all agree that it feels good to see how the thing we spent so much time and love, disappear in front of our eyes in a blink of an eye.

Ok, I bragged enough! Are you a baking mad scientist? I hope so!

Awake And Hungry!

I get grumpy when I'm hungry! I'm hungry now! Why? Well, I was peacefully sleeping when suddenly I received a message from my sister. This pic...

Yeah! Waking up to see something delicious trigger something... hunger. She not only woke me up early, she made me hungry... hungry and wanting to eat that deliciously looking pork! My sister is evil, EVIL!! Now I have to wait hours to finally eat that pork leg! On top of that, the entire neighborhood smells like ginger and cinnamon! 

Now if you excuse, I have to find food.... I'm starving! Pork, come quick!

If Life Gives You Lemons...

Life can be a pain in the... "behind" sometimes. We all know that, we all have experienced hardships in life. No matter your social status, your race, your educational background, if you're rich or poor... every single human being had experienced bad times.

There's a popular saying: "If life gives you lemons, make lemonade". People often joke about that saying and even make  their own version of it. Some people will add some alcohol to their lemons, some will make lemon pie. Me? I will make fun of it!

                                 Take that lemons!

I always laugh no matter the situation. I laugh when I want to cry, I laugh when I'm angry, I laugh when life throw some shit my way... I laugh! Not because I get a mental breakdown but because that's my way to say SCREW YOU LIFE, I LAUGH AT YOUR STUPID FACE!

My family and close friends always say I never take anything serious. I do! It's not like I never cry or throw some tantrums, but instead of being in bitch mode for a long time, I make fun of everything and keep moving on. By the way, you really don't want to get on my nerves! Let's say, I can be very scary... so, laughing it's better, right!?

Next time life gives you shit, laugh at it!
