What Can I do on Sunday? 🥱🗓️

Image
 When the week is coming to the end, Sunday turns into a long long day to procrastinate or recover after a crazy weekend. It's common to get up at high hours in the day, just chill out and wait until the next and bored Monday. Everybody loves Fridays, but What happens with Sundays? The last day of the week seems to be here only to refill our boring lives, It seems to be that the only thing that can we do is sat down on the sofa and watch Netflix all day 📺, scrolling on our screen's phones 📱.  I'm not saying that you have to get up early in the morning or work until the next Monday, it's just that exist other ways to approach your rest days, you know, or at least don't waste most of your Sundays. I woke up this Sunday at 8 o clock and as a habit, I do my breakfast for me and my family, cocked eggs some coffee, some milk, and voila the breakfast is served!  Once I eat, I did my house pending, cleaning my room and the house overall. I take a shower in the middle of t...

How to be a good alcoholic 🌃🍺 (moderation)

Image
  It's Friday!!🤩🧑🏻‍🎤🌃 Everybody excites when finally the weekend comes to, all the people has plans and gathers with your friends, family, whatever. But, only a thing that every (or most) men and women thinks: alcohol.  Yes, when it's finally Fridays nights this is a common thing that occurs in the majority of cities in our country (or continent). Getting drunk has been an own characteristic of our culture, the mid-class worker gets off of their job and prepares himself for a long night with their best friend the juice (alcohol). In my neighborhood, mostly weekends occur incidents because I live aside from a police station🚓👮🏻, so, when the police are alerted of an incident or drunken fights, are they that catch and calm the situation, usually, they bring them towards their facilities (yes, In my street) so what you can realize, is usual to hear the fights when that happen.  Personally, I prefer to spend the weekend with my family and sometimes with old friends, us...

How can I do a good market list?... Go to shop 🛒📃✏️

Image
  First of all, make ensure to have enough amount of money in your pocket. On base of that, organize the priority of the things. For instance, In the major range will be the food, then the cleaning stuff, the groceries that are close to ending... Then, do a list of all these things, and note the quantity: "a tray of eggs, 2 rolls of toilet paper " Order the list rather than amount all of that, the comestibles, cleaning, and all types of groceries. Save that list, preferably on your phone, and add a check spot to mark when you have to buy it. Once you are in the supermarket,  grocery store, or wherever you are, go find the shopping cart to acquire all of these things that you have written on your phone previously. Most of the markets locate the shopping carts at the entrance of their facilities, so you don't have problems with finding it. So, you're ready to select and choose the products on your list, right? Almost all the supermarkets have split the sections in hallw...

My stereotype of a "perfect" woman is draining my mind. 🤯😞

Image
  I always had the necessity to romanticize and idealized every girl that I liked. I struggle with this problem since I was in High school. When a girl started to like me, I felt attracted to her, and I started to fantasize with her. I was very shy, and I could say that I continue being, so going with a girl and starting a conversation, to me turned out a very hard task. I panic when a pretty girl was approaching me and started to talk with me.  The only place in the world where I feel secure was in my head. So I started to visualized inside me the moments in which I feel more confident and hold a normal conversation. Since then, every time that I want to start to go out with a girl or start to chat with someone. I begin to fantasize and see her like a "goddess". It is really frustrating because this drains my focus and makes me feel more insecure. Recently, I started to chat with a pretty girl, she is 6 years younger than me, she likes the same things as me, we have a lot in...

8 years since I learned to play guitar .🎸👦🏻🔥

Image
  8 years have been passed since I decided for the first time to learn to play guitar. When I took my first class of guitar I didn't have an idea of what complicated but satisfactory this been. I started with a three-group of major chords, haha I remember this as if it were yesterday. The figures of C-G-F reflected into the board while I was thinking 'Yes, I can do this!'. My fingers were tangled and rigid the next day and were inflamed too. In my home, an old and tiny Spanish nylon-chord guitar was laying in the room of my little sister, I decided to practice with it, it was my only instrument until I buy my electric guitar in 2019 (5 years later since I started to learn guitar).  I only assisted one month of these classes, but the idea of playing guitar in a near future was rounded my head and it was a dream that I didn't could pass. One of my near and best friends played the guitar for many years before me. In fact, he was my inspiration to start my self-learning in ...

10 things that I'd had wanted to know in my 18s 😓📃

  Almost ten years have passed since I finished high school 🏫🗓️, and still, I can remember all of those things that my head was thinking over and over again my insecurities and problems. I didn't have someone to explain my problems or tell me about my insecurities, and nobody who can advise me over the things that happen when you are growing and facing new ages of your life. So, If you are in yours 18s or not, this is a list of things, that I'd had wanted to know in my 18s, that I think you can use and follow it. 📝 1. Avoid discussing. You don't know that, but if you have always the reason or not, treat to avoid unnecessary discussions, this avoid you any conflict or problem in the future. The best thing that you can do is let it pass. 2. Ask for forgiveness and apologies. the best way to avoid resentment and hate is by apologizing to the other person if you have or don't the fault. When you accept your failures you recognize your debilities and calm the ambient. 3. ...

The food that you consume matters (a lot..) 🥑🥥💪🏻🥬

Image
  When we think about the food we use to be thinking about unhealthy but delicious food, there is a great variety of that: chocolates, desserts, ice creams, fast food and all types of processed food... This is present in most of our daily food, but over the years, I founded this is damaging our body and health.  A well-balanced diet consists of a great variety of green salads, fruits, lean protein, carbs, and a lot of water, we calculate our basic requirements based on a diet of about 2000 kcal, but this is only an estimated calculus, actually, every single person in this word, should calculate their daily ingest based on their activity along the day.  For instance, is not the same diet of an Olympic athlete 🏊🏻‍♀️ as a sedentary person 👨🏻‍💻, those of most burn a lot amount of energy due to their physical activities must obtain a great number of nutrients and calories than a sedentary or simple person. Based on my poor experience (lol), I try to find my best nutrition...

How can I manage (effectively) my time?

Image
  When the new year has started, I decided to be more pragmatic and more organized about myself, yes this includes my time too. But now, how can I start to optimize my time and try to reduce fatigue? I try to start my day, usually, at 7or 7:30 in the morning, my sister and mom wake up, and breakfast is already served. I eat some of the pieces of fruits, with some coffee and milk or yogurt, added some cooked eggs. Then, when all of us we've eaten I go to my car and drive towards my mom's work.  I always have the same route, go to Occidental Avenue and continue to drive around 4 o 5 kilometers in that direction. I finish this route is approximately 5 o 7 minutes (depending on the traffic, obviously). Then when I finally finish this trip, I clean my backyard and feed my dogs. then, I wash the dishes and prepare my bag to go to the gym, mostly I try to go to the gym at 9 or 9:30 am. I finish doing my exercises along with the 11 am. Eventually, I try to train as fast as I can, beca...

Will 2022 be my year?

Image
  Will 2022 be my year? 🤔💭 Surely, many of you are asking this question someday this year, and the answer my dear friend I suppose is "depend on you". How much are you disposed to hard work on you on your goals? If you can answer this question and put it on your daily you are in the right way. But, for many others, (sometimes, including me) there are so many factors to be taken into count at the time of living our lives in 2022... I decided to start my year writing my own "goals for 2022" but in fact, this only was a start (it's a good starting if you ask me), defortunaly, many aspects are on my list depending on some measures on day-by-day decisions. The sum of these actions will have as results a better me, or at least I pretend to this happens.  What would be the result if all of my lists are completed?  Maybe a better version of myself, or perhaps this will put me in a better place than I am. We're still in the first days of this year, and we hope that...
