HIM: “Mom, could you please do me a favor? Call her and tell her that I love her and I miss her very much.”

“Dicen que la distancia es el olvido”, pero hay amores que creecen y planifican aun la distacia sea kilometrica, separados por mares, continentes, horas, y dias.

HER: It is very difficult to keep this relationship going on. There are times that he could not call me and I get depress. I feel lonely most of the time. The depression is causing me to sleep longer and I’m not even going out as I used to. I need to study for my post grad test and it’s taking me too long, because my mind is busy with my future.

Yo no se porque la gente se preocupa por el futuro tanto, cuando pueden estar poniendo sus energies en el presente.

HIM: I want to be happy, and she is part of that happiness I’m planning for the future. I want to have my three girls with her, lol. She is so beautiful, she is my woman. I can’t wait to be with her.

HER: I love him very much, I can’t wait for him to be back. I know I want to be with him for the rest of my life but this distance is killing me. I feel like my life is in pause.

HIM: Do you think she will like this …? This is what I’m planning to do to surprise her……it will be her wedding gift.

Yo creo que ella va a quedar feliz y encantada con todo eso, pero que tal esta idea…

HER: I’ll email you what I have found for him, do you think he will like it.

Es de muy alta calidad, seguro que le va a gustar. Pero como estan las cosas entre ustedes.

HER: Well, communication sucks. It’s not his fault, it’s the internet connection, sometimes we can talk with no problems. But it happens that in the middle of something important he’ll get disconnected, and I hate it. The phone it’s another thing too. Its frustrating.

HIM: I haven’t been able to call her because too much work. They also question the numbers to call, and too much information to give. I wish I can talk to her more often, like we used to. Do you have three way connection, so I can talk to her?

No, lo siento pero no tengo tres lineas pero tengo una idea, espera, ya se como los voy a conectar.

Real love is not affected by distance if it’s combined with a very strong commitment, honesty, passion, loyalty and the desire to continue growing, not just as a couple but individually. No one is an island, here we are, friends, and family members to come to the rescue to do things better, specially for those that are trying, together, to do the right thing. We are supporting you guys.

El domingo pasado fue mi primer dia como bartender profesional y me encanto. Me encanta el ambiente de trabajo del Wellesley Country Club y definitivamente, la amabilidad y simpatia de sus miembros. El jefe y los companeros de trabajo son buena onda, ya que en este ambiente, como mencione antes en uno de mis post; titulado Coqueta: Barteder: I experience that the people, like me, that go for these classes [bartending] have the same motivation; to have fun in life serving others. El fin de semana pasado fue como una "luna de miel', hasta hoy.

Hoy si que fue "bartending" de a de veras. Yo sola servi un promedio de 100 tragos; vinos de todas clases, champange, cervezas de todas clases, martinis, highballs, a la rocka, y cuchucientos tragos. Estube de pie por 10 horas. Y tengo un cansancio, LOL.

Yo que estaba bien "fiebrua" porque ya tenia diploma y certificacion de bartender, les digo hoy, que se me quito el guille, claro, tambien quedo condecorada como tal.

Los mantendre informados, ahora a dormir con mis hermosas piernas altas sobre almohadas.

A Baby Died

A baby died Thursday morning due to a fall from a fourth floor open window. We need to make sure we keep our children safe.

“Se ha escapado un angelito, mira donde va, volando se ha ido…”

Mientras observaba las diferentes fotos, peluches, y las velas, que los vecinos hicieron en memoria de quien en vida fuera, Jordani Rivera, un bebe, un angelito de apenas 9 meses de estar en este planeta, se repetia en mi mente esta cancion. Me preguntaba, estando parada justo donde este nene cae, porque los adultos a cargos de ninos no podemos prevenir situations tan tragicas como estas.

Este nino, bajo el cuidado de su padre, cae de la ventana de un cuarto piso a la acera, en la manana del jueves, 17 de septiembre, en la comunidad de Roxbury.

Como portavoz de la seguridad y salud de los ninos tengo que decir, que siempre estemos alertas a ellos, son curiosos, quieren aprender y explorar el mundo que les rodea. Hagamos del mundo de los ninos uno que sirva para crecer, no para morir cuando apenas estan comenzando.

No puedo, ni quiero imaginar el dolor de la madre y demas familiares que estan viviendo estas circunstancias. Que Dios los ampare, los guie y les permita continuar la vida en conformidad a los hechos.

Jordani, tu estas ahora siendo abrazado por Jesus.

A continuacion unos consejos a seguir para prevenir accidentes con las ventanas.

Window Safety Tips/Consejos de seguridad

Windows provide a secondary means of escape from a burning home. Determine your family's emergency escape plan and practice it. Remember that children may have to rely on a window to escape in a fire. Help them learn to safely use a window under these circumstances.

Las ventantas proven una segunda opcion de escape en caso de fuego. Repase con su familia el plan de emergencia. Envuelva a los ninos en estos planes para que ellos aprendan el uso correcto y seguro de usar una ventana bajo esta circustancia.

Keep your windows closed and locked when children are around. When opening windows for ventilation, open windows that a child cannot reach, or in the case of a double-hung window, open the top sash only.

Mantenga sus ventanas cerradas y aseguradas cuando halla ninos en los alrededores. Cuando abra sus ventanas para ventilacion abra aquellas que los ninos no puedan tener alcanze. Si tiene ventanas dobles, abra solo la parte de arriba.

Set and enforce rules about keeping children's play away from windows or patio doors. Falling through the glass can be fatal or cause serious injury.

Haga y lleve acabo reglas que mantengan seguros a los ninos de hacerse dano en caso de que jugando caigan sobre los vidrios ya que puede ser fatal o causar heridas muy serias.

Keep furniture - or anything children can climb - away from windows. Children may use such objects as a climbing aid.

Mantenga muebles, u otros objetos que los ninos puedan escalar fuera de las ventanas.

If you have young children in your home and are considering installing window guards or window fall prevention devices, be aware that the window guards you install must have a release mechanism so that they can be opened for escape in a fire emergency. Consult your local fire department or building code official to determine proper window guard placement.

Si tiene ninos pequenos y piensa instalar verjas de seguridad, instale aquellas que tengan mecanismo para abrise en caso de emergencia de fuego. Consulte el departamento de bomberos para mas informacion.

The degree of injury sustained from a window fall can be affected by the surface on which the victim falls. Shrubs and soft edging like wood chips or grass beneath windows may lessen the impact if a fall does occur.

El grado de herida causada por una caida de una ventana es afectada dependiendo de la superficie. El poder colocar superficies suaves podria crear un impacto menor en caso de que esto ocurra.

More Tips

Be aware that conventional window screens are not designed to prevent a child’s fall from a window.

Los screens o mosquiteros de las ventanas no fueron disenados para prevenir la caida de un nino desde una ventana.

Install specially designed window guards on upper windows to prevent children from falling out of windows.

Instale protectores specials disenados para ventanas en los pisos altos para prevenir las caidas de ninos.

Never leave young children unattended near open windows.
