Like if I were in a galaxy far far away from him.

Breaking up with you on social media
Yesterday was Valentine's day.
Today I realized how social media has really bumped me out of my own relationship with my boyfriend.
Since he is a graphic designer is pretty fair that he is constantly updating himself about what's trending....
When we first met I actually was never that into Facebook, Twitter, instagram or omg snapchat- no way that's for kids.
Well, it turned out that I wanted to be close to my boyfriend and I got on my phone all of those apps.... but today since our relationship is hitting rock bottom due to social media, I'm reflecting what went wrong.
Every time we would get into a fight he would remove his hearts/likes from my instagram pictures- ridiculous! Or when we were not talking to each other, he would remove from his instagram his pictures of us.... still ridiculous!
Now let's move on to Twitter... well we both discharge our anger with borrowed words with as many retweets as possible and would write in less than 140 characters our frustration for one another. What a way to talk to each other! The hardest part was when he would favorite something harsh that I would say about him...
We were not big fans of Facebook but it came along the way too.
So, to sum up, we spoke this afternoon because last night he chose to post stories about his dog and stuff at home on instagram instead of answering me on whatsapp.... I got angry because social media for him is more important than me, he tells me that is all pure work, well it doesn't matter, I still hate the fact that he is all the time stuck on his phone even when we are spending time together.
Today he told me that he won't miss me on social media because I was on the way anyways.
We're still together but blocked in all social social media outlets.

Un día imaginario
Era una día esperado, iba a ser vacación y me moría por tener un día así.
Me desperté temprano, de hecho demasiado temprano, pero iba a salir con mi novio así que decidí que antes de arreglarme iba a limpiar mi baño como toda una adulta responsable...que no tiene nada mejor qué hacer a las 4am.
Luego de ver noticias, leer un poco y ver que de pronto ya eran las 6am, me bañé y arreglé mi pelo porque era un día especial, el día en que me como mi dona del año.
Muchas personas pueden comer donas todo el tiempo y no saben... no saben lo afortunadas que son. (Lo digo con enojo pues dan por sentado que todos somos iguales)
Personas como yo que no pueden comer donas ni pan por los efectos secundarios, a veces tenemos una vida un poco triste, pero no hoy, porque hoy es el día en el que me comí mi dona del año.
De hecho, mi novio vino a ver películas conmigo, y me trajo 4 donas. Dos fueron de los nuevos sabores que tiene mister donut (valga el comercial, estuvieron deliciosas), le pedí que me comprara 4 porque 2 iban a ser de los nuevos sabores y las otras dos de sabores tradicionales pero rellenas.
Por supuesto no me comí las 4 donas, cada una la partimos a la mitad, él se comió la mitad de cada una y yo la otra, fue muy bonito, romántico y lindo poder disfrutar así mi "dona del año" porque pude comer 2 donas pero 4 sabores! La pasamos muy bien y fue muy especial.
Teníamos todo el día planeado, no nos podíamos decidir si ir a Benihana o al buffet de All-you-can-eat en el hotel Crowne Plaza para almorzar ya que ambos lugares tenían buenos descuentos con mi tarjeta de crédito y la verdad quizá no importaba el lugar porque siempre que estamos juntos todo es perfecto.
Nos decidimos por la Parrillada buffet y fue la mejor opción, era un lugar muy lindo, elegante y no estaba tan-tan lleno, pero comimos muy rico y platicamos sobre cómo sería nuestra vida juntos; nos mirábamos a los ojos y tomé mi copa con agua diciéndole "hagamos un brindis" si, con agua, "hagamos un brindis, por una vida juntos, felices y por detalles que cuiden lo nuestro siempre, porque yo te amo, y no imagino mi vida al lado de alguien que no seas tú... Salud!".
Dejamos pasar el tiempo mientras estábamos recostados en las sillas. Nos mirábamos y solamente podíamos reírnos de lo llenos que habíamos quedado.
Habíamos comido tanto pero decidimos que debíamos aprovechar el 2x1 de Red Mango, la verdad amo Red Mango, y me encantó el nuevo sabor a horchata, así que seguimos nuestra agenda de comer y comer, aprovechando el mejor día libre que habíamos planeado desde el fin de semana pasado y estar juntos de principio a fin.
Fuimos a Red Mango que queda por el redondel Luceiro y nos sentamos en el único sillón que tienen. Ya que soy nueva en Snapchat, y no tengo ni contactos, únicamente me gusta jugar con los filtros? no sé si se llaman así de hecho, pero son muy divertidos... nos reímos tanto.
Cuando me fue a dejar a mi apartamento, se despidió, me abrazó y me dio un beso en la frente... no quería que se fuera y lo volví a abrazar fuerte... Mi Dindis cómo te amo.
Fue el mejor día imaginario de todos.

'Andar bien'
Saturday, June 27, 2015
Who could forget that?
"There is no ring, you're not married."
*awkward silence*
(That was hard to hear)
She continued.... "You should stop being complicated with men."
I nodded.
Forever Alone

I will always love you, always
I never thought I would be ready to write about it. To be honest maybe I'm not, but it's something I want to keep in my blog for personal purposes.
The morning of April 6th I got the chance to travel to Pennsylvania, place where my grandma was living. During my flight all I could think was 'God, please let me get there on time to say goodbye, I need to be with her before you take her from me'.
My cousin Mario picked me up at the airport, but on the way to my aunt Nora's house he said "I hope we'll make it, I haven't got any phone call, but she is leaving us soon."
When we got home, I rushed to my grandma's bedroom, I burst into tears as I saw her laying in bed, scratching herself due to the morphine she was taking for the inner pain since her organs were shutting down, but she was allergic to it.
My aunt Nora said "Talk to her, tell her you are here, she can hear you." So I decided to get closer to her right ear, and said "Grandma, it's me, I'm your granddaughter, I'm here for you", on that moment she opened her eyes and she looked at me smiling, never imagined that would be the last time I would witness such thing.
My grandma Rosita fell asleep, she was taking tons of meds. Her body moved in a mysterious way, she was having flashbacks maybe, I could see her fingers moving as if she were sewing. My aunt Daysi said "I think that's call the process of dying, and you see your life as a movie."
Suddenly my grandma started to scratch herself again, so my aunt Daysi (a nurse) gave her other strong medicine, but my grandma was feeling very uncomfortable, she actually never opened her eyes again, but I did the only thing that came to my mind... I started to sing the worship songs my grandma used to sing when we used to go to church together, and something happened...
My grandma Rosita, grabbed my hand, and kissed it. She kissed my hand.... I was singing, crying, dying inside right next to her, holding her goodbye...
The next thing I know is that I fell asleep.
Next morning, the nurses from the insurance came by to check on her, and told us "if there is family left, let them know that today will be a good time to come."
30 mins later while I was getting dressed after getting a shower, I heard my aunt Daysi saying out loud, "She's gone!!".
I rushed to my grandma's bedroom again. I held her hand, her body was still warm. But she was gone.
My cousin Silvia was with her in that little moment when my grandma Rosita stopped breathing. Silvia said that the last words she told her were: "Please mama, go in peace, we'll be okay, and we're here with you, don't be afraid to let go, let God take you into His loving arms." And so she did, and left.
As my grandma left to Heaven, we were all by her side in silence, crying. Tears everywhere.
Today, those memories seem like a dream. But it's real, I remember her body going from warm to cold, her soft hair through my fingers.... I remember her, I remember everything about her.
My grandma's ashes will be buried Sunday, September 13th 2015 at 10am in 'Jardines del Recuerdo' in El Salvador.
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine..."
