Angelina "The Movie"

2008-09-03T17:35:00.002-06:00

Sin dinero, pero con fe en el talento catracho, la cineasta Carla Calderón logra producir la primera película “de época” que se filmo en nuestro país, convirtiéndose así en una digna representante del espíritu emprendedor de la mujer hondureña, al asumir el reto de poner en alto el nombre de Honduras con un trabajo de calidad internacional.

Quiero demostrar que sí se puede ser profeta en nuestra propia tierra”, afirma Carla, quien lleva a la pantalla gigante la novela romántica “Angelina”, una de las primeras obras literarias hondureñas, escrita por Carlos F. Gutiérrez en 1898.

Acompañada de su equipo de producción, Carla recorrió calles empedradas, subió montañas y cruzó ríos hasta reunir a más de 600 actores hondureños, para llevar a cabo el rodaje del film.

Como buenos Hondureños que somos tenemos el deber de apoyar esta gran producción cinematográfica que esta siendo exhibida en las salas de Cinemark en city mall, San Pedro Sula.
No es posible que este fin de semana pasado, las salas de donde están las otras películas extranjeras estuviesen a morir de llenas mientras, nuestro talento catracho esperaba con los brazos abiertos a todos respondieran y dieran apoyo.

Señores, es nuestra gente, nuestro cine, no tenemos que ser tan apáticos y extremamente críticos de lo malo en el cine hondureño. Aun esta en pañales y gracias a Dios que aun existe gente que desea sacar en alto el nombre de Honduras no solamente en el deporte, si no que, con el talento artístico de nuestros Hondureños.

¡Apoyemos lo nuestro! ¡Vallamos al cine este fin de semana! ¡Demostremos al mundo que en Honduras hay talento! ¡Reenvíen este correo a sus contactos!

Vean el trailer de la Película en Youtube y no se olviden de ir al cine.

Comeback and Debut

2008-07-20T03:16:00.006-06:00

To theaters near you: The Dark Knight
To blogs near you: Me
To Christian bookstores near you: Album: Al Mirar Atras by Sara & CoffeeHouse

The few times I remember going to the movies when I was little was to see Dick Tracey and Batman. And I was amazed. I was like five back then so I was pretty gullable. Incredible. In my mind, all I saw was a superhero. No critically acclaimed actors (to my interest) no best picture, no best screenplay.. etc. It was all fun and action with Batman fighting against The Joker. What all kid goes to the movies for. Now, I'm faced with 9/11 attack comparisons, which batman was better, which joker was better. I mean, what's the whole point of going to watch an action epic if you're gonna criticize all throughout, no? I can't wait to see the new suit and gadgets.

I'm back. With very little time to post anymore because I just have too many things to do now, like... uhm, like... let me check my planner. I've been on vacation lately, trying to catch up with my weblife and other matters. I'm also waiting to discover new grounds, open my heart to new experiences such as... well, you'll know when your ready. But all I can say right now is that The Lord has been good to me and those around me. A friend of mine died a few weeks ago, just like that. Didn't give anyone a heads up, but everyone rests assured that he is now in His presence.

The cd is titled "Looking Back"(cover art). With an alternative rock taste or indie as it is now widely known, Al Mirar Atras talks about seeing your life in retrospective and the how you'll be able to see major changes that you went through since Jesus Christ came into your life. Its in spanish so I hope your heart is open in order to feel the message that Sara & CoffeeHouse are trying to get across.

Merry Christmas

2007-12-26T16:59:00.000-06:00

1. Merry Chistmas. Somewhere this past week or so, I heard that it was no longer politically correct to say Merry Christmas. If so, than why are we celebrating such a "happy holiday". If it wasn't for the birth of Jesus Christ, why celebrate such a day.
2. We tend to get intouch with people who matter very little to us just for the sake of 'being in the holiday spirit' or having the holiday spirit. We send cards, make phone calls, email long 'x-mas' chain letters that just annoy us instead of cheering us up.
3. Presents are so over-rated now a days. Everyone seems to be wanting something. Company is so much more welcomed than anything else that could be bought with money. Of course the new iPhone or the new iPod touch would be the best next thing after your great grand cousin's uncle's brother's neighbor comes to vivit.
4. Nothing to do with Christmas, but it was wierd as heck. Just the other day, as I was leaving my house, closing the gate behind me, BANG! out of the blue, a cd hit me on the head. Just like that, a blanc cd. Who threw it? If I knew, it wouldn't be odd, now would it?
5. I've failed a friend for tow years in a row now. His birthday was yesterday, Dicember 25th. I couldn't make it to his place as I had promised for the past two months, yet I couldn't call either. I'm sorry.
For everything else that happened this past few months... i'll be posting here, if I can remember...

What is wrong with me.... I just found a good friend, my best friend was robbed. With a gun. I had known he had called me a few days ago, but payed little attention to that. I'e been away for too long.

I thought I would call him later on. After reading all those chain letters saying that friends should be told how much you love them everyday or every so often... I've always thought of those as bull**** but, I know there are people out there who I care about.

God bless you all and watch over you...

moving

2007-09-30T13:23:00.000-06:00

Yesterday I spent the day helping out friends move from their home to a new house. I saw their expressions. I heard their stories. I shared the tears.
Suddenly, memories came rushing back. Of all the times I had moved. From house to house. From school to school. I held nothing in my possession. I had nothing I could call my own. One day i was in one place, the other, somewhere else.
I don't regret any of it though. I mean, I wouldn't be the person I am today. So detached of everyone and everything... uhm, maybe thats not such a good thing. But I also learnt that nothing is forever. Not friends, not earthly possessions. Not ourselves. Nothing. Just God.
Adaptation. Thats the key. Gotta roll wit' it. Go with the flow. Wing it. Accept. Why ask too many questions that will never be answered. By nobody. To nobody.
A script from the bible helps describe our situation a little. Psalm 119:19 "I am a stranger and a temporary resident on the earth; hide not Your commandments from me." Taken from the Amplified biblie. I focus more on the first part of the verse. Yet, if you're interested in the second part, I guess you can say that in order to find our place in this world, you have to take God's word, the bible, into consideration. Live by it. Learn from it. WE have to ask of Him to make His ways known to us. But thats wandering off into a different subject.

1 monkey

2007-09-19T03:22:00.000-06:00

I just finished watching 12 monkeys and it was shoking how confusing it got at one point. Bruce?Being side by side with his child-form self? Reminds me of some other "(The) Kid" movie. Although I did like the plot and a few of the lines... well, I'll be honest. I liked a very few lines from that movie. And one of them, spoken by Jeffrey Goines (Brad Pitt), is:

"Why you're here is because of the system, because of the economy. (indicating the TV) There's the TV. It's all right there. Commercials. We are not productive anymore, they don't need us to make things anymore, it's all automated. What are we for then? We're consumers. Okay, buy a lot of stuff, you're a good citizen. But if you don't buy a lot of stuff, you know what? You're mentally ill! That's a fact! If you don't buy things...toilet paper, new cars, computerized blenders, electrically operated sexual devices... (getting hysterical) SCREWDRIVERS WITH MINIATURE BUILT-IN RADAR DEVICES, STEREO SYSTEMS WITH BRAIN IMPLANTED HEADPHONES, VOICE-ACTIVATED COMPUTERS, AND..."

I think this is quite true, thirteen years after it was first written. All that really matter is what we buy and possess. That's what really defines who and what we are. But the catch? Yes, theres always a catch. So, you need to buy... and have, right?. But, if you have too little, you're not worth the time invested in looking in your direction. Yet, if you have too much.. then, well, you're just an insensitive prick who cares not for but yourself. ...With Liberty and Justive... for a few? Its a vicious cycle, forcing us to spin willingly, smashing into each other, making up poeticly just ideals, which only makes us feel guilty of being 'superior' or 'inferior' of good ol' retched standard!

Asleep, yet feeling awake, or was it awake feeling as if I were asleep? Who can remember. Missing you for not being near, yet, being everywhere I turn. I cannot distinguish if its pain or pleasure, this sensation of mine. Knowing you're here only not. What should I be more grateful for? Day, that makes me think you next to me or night, which makes me dream of you next to me, Or should I despise my mind for eternally reminding me you're not? Loving you, is my greatest pleasure..

10 mins

2007-09-15T15:16:00.000-06:00

Ok, I have ten minutes, and counting, to write about the odd things that have happened this week. And in no specific order, here they are

10. The bank hasn't called yet.

9. Someone in Honduras though it would be a good idea to change the words to the National Anthem. Who the hell does this guy (or girl) (or group of people) think he (or she) (or they) is (or are). Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

8. I didn't hear any big comotion about USA feeling paranoid of being attacked this year. Every year they spend so much money on advertising about terrorism, which takes me to number 7

7. Bush is calling back troops? What the..?

6. There was a small quake just a few hrs ago here in Honduras.

5. Did Dr. Dre auto-prescribe steroids instead of weed this time? That dude looked messed up at the 2007 VMA's.

4. A woman set fire to her ex-husband's penis as he sat naked watching television and drinking vodka. Oooouuuuch! I wonder what this guys ex-wife was doing at his place while he was naked.. anyway..

3. Miami looked like it was filming The Fugitive 3 after sending in all of Florida's armed forces after a black guy who shot 4 police officers. NOt so unfunny thing was that they were chasing some other guy by the nome of who knows what. The killer's real name is Shawn Sherwin Labeet, also black. Come on.. there we're never any racial problems in south Fl. in the past ten years.

2. O.J. Simspon is at it again, only this time he didn't murder any of his ex-wives. All the luck was aiming at the highest bidder... who bought O.J.'s undies worn at his trial.

1. Some people just think I care... ha!

Tears of blue and orange splashing over my body
cleansing my soul. tears

burning away all impurities

leaving behind a trail of dying dreams

raining, drop after drop

into, or very well out of

an eternal sea of memories

all which are drowning whatever it might be that the future may hold.

Images of gray and black

nigrifying

away the blues and purples of ordniary thoughts

leaving uncovered the real mysteries of our profound existence.

our innerselves.

our true selves.

which were once

but

never

really there.

bones and hammers

2007-08-28T23:38:00.000-06:00

Sometimes when you're trying to leanout your closet, you come across too many skeletons, therefore having too many bones to carry out to dump you just find yourself trying to leave them there to disolve. I know this is not the best of the solutions. But, its either that or bring in a power hammer and start crushing everything there. Problem? None for me... decisions decisions!

2007-08-26T20:15:00.000-06:00

Just the other day a little boy and his mom took a walk. He must have been talking of all how he was a big boy and needed no help from anyone. Trying to show off to the woman of his dreams he started walking backwards, faster and faster. Just at that precise moment, when he was backing up to me ready to bump into me, his mom shouts: tene cuidado que vas a lastimarte. Of course, his response was somewhat expected. No te preocupes mami, yo puedo! It was a good thing for him that I saw him coming and had time to move out of the way before he rammed the back of his head into me.
I believe that we sometimes take for granted that we are still in the learning process. We will be til the day we die. We somtimes think too much of ourselves and think we know it all. THINK we know it all. We're not even sure about that. We forget to aknowledge our creator. We tend to want to doeverything on our own. Thinking, no daddy (refering to God), I can do it on my own, just you watch (you watch make a great big fool out of myself in front of everyone).
Good thing for us that our Father is not the type who would do that... God is willing to patiently wait until we come back to Him.

Procrastination Nation

2007-08-26T18:47:00.000-06:00

I've more than enough time to relax. A whole lot more than enough. I need to become active. Stop leaching on life. Everyday that passes by I become more and more dependant on tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll do this, tomorrow I'll do that... I need to change today! Uhm, well, maybe tomorrow, its kinda late and theres nowhere to go to start today.
I've noticed that the word tomorrow is great.
*Hun, did you mow the lawn? -Uh, yeah, I'll do it tomorrow.
*Mrs. Perez, I left my homework on the kitchen counter, can I bring it tomorrow?
*Hey (insert name here) get off your fat @$$ and get yourself a job! -Damn, I told you I will, I'll go tomorow.
*And the list can go on for another few minutes.
What I'm trying to say is that tomorow is the perfect excuse for everything. Yet, you put off great things that you can accomplish today! From now on, I promise that what I can do today will happen today, unless the 'pulperia' is closed.
I was gonne keep on writing, but I think I'll finish tomorow...

2007-08-21T12:56:00.000-06:00

Words words words words!! Beautiful, sickening, comforting. Disturbing, cold, false. Troubling, wishful, eternal. Confusing, deadly, uplifting. Why not choose wisely, then? Why not give them depth and value. Just one word could change the world. My world. "When I find myself in trouble.."

Thank you. For your words. Thank you for your "... words of wisdom..."

A quick visit. Thirty days seem like enough time to do what you please, yet, when you have someone waiting for you, its just not enough time...
I had a wonderful time while you were here. Even if we went just a few times to eat and to the movies. I'll be waiting for her ..

Update

2007-08-17T18:02:00.000-06:00

I came back, permanently from Pinalejo due to religious political bullsh*t that goes on every church. trying to cover up for skeletons they have in their storage warehouses, some humbly call, closets.
On the other hand, I also believe we´ve stranded too far apart from the truth. God´s truth, not our own dreams and desires and controversial schemes to do what pleases us best --what we now call truth. We call right what God has deliberately left, or if you please, wrong.

But because all of this, a few hundred people are left without medical attention that was offered to them monthly for a symbolic price. I´d like to thank the church for this. And their miopic understanding of what truely is The Love of God.

batman

2007-08-06T02:39:00.000-06:00

Browsing at unheard of hours of the night, I came across a the comicbook hero Batman. Trying to think of a good excuse as to why I'd be looking for something like that at this time of night, I decided to do a more profound searh of Batman and boy-o-boy did I find profoundness.
I dont know how many of you loyal readers out there have actually payed much attention to Batman's theme song. Which Batman theme song are you talking about, you might ask. Well, wonder no more as you can delight yourself, with such breath-taking truth. Deep. Very deep.
I hope you can enjoy this without feeling overwhelmed by its literal richness.
God bless you.

BY CRAIG SHIELDS

- - - -

First verse: Batman
This first verse serves as our introduction to the song and subsequently to its object of praise, Batman. Singularly declarative in nature, it forms a stark contrast to the existing body of modern praise music (where here we have the singular utterance "Batman" as opposed to "Praise Batman"). This first verse also establishes Batman as one entity with an apparent, singular purpose.

Second verse: Batman
The repetitive nature of the chosen music combines with this very first repetition of the singular declarative from the first verse to give us the idea of consistency: that Batman is constant in nature and consistent throughout his existence. This being both the second verse and also the second invocation of Batman introduces the theme of duality: duality of the universe and the duality within Batman. Duality is here reinforced with the intonation of this verse, it being identical to the previous verse.

Third verse: Batman
A rise of intonation—a change in pitch of this verse to that which is higher than the previous two—conveys the idea of a natural ascension to that which is higher in nature: the image of "Bat" man in flight. Batman is seen here as rising above the common material concerns of man and into the ethereal realm of higher thought. A third verse also invokes the power of three, the universal trinity of body, mind, and spirit represented at once in the singularity of Batman.

Fourth verse: Batman
A return to the intonation of the first and second verses—a fall in pitch from the previous verse—represents the cyclical nature of the existence of Batman. Batman is not immune to the powers of the universe and must bend at the whims of a higher power. Here Batman is depicted in a purely human sense, subject to all the chaos, turmoil, and struggle of mortal existence.

Chorus: Batman, Batman, Batman (repeated once)
An intonation of the highest order is reached with the first cadence of this chorus. This highest level illustrates the danger that Batman faces in battling extreme forces and also indicates the possibility that Batman may be given to overindulgence in his use of power. The chorus goes on, repeating the previous tonal cycle in descending order, once again illuminating the cyclical nature of the life of Batman. Repetition of this chorus merely reinforces the potential energies, both positive and negative, contained within Batman.

Last verse: Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Batman
A final triumphant restatement of all that which this song represents is here encapsulated in a brilliant point of exclamation. Forceful and at the same time plainly stated, we here are shown Batman in full, unvarnished truth. Full of aspiration, yet subject to the pitfalls of mortal life, Batman simply is.

hey

2007-08-05T23:41:00.000-06:00

just want to say that I've missed you so much.

All endings are also beginnings...

2007-07-24T16:35:00.000-06:00

...we just dont know it at the time.

I've lived this phrase so many times, plus one. My new ending will begin soon. Thank you for all your support, moral, spiritual, and to my family, economically. A perfect mix of the good things in life is what they are. Sometimes they neve hear this from me but, after spending time here, away from everyone I care about and, most important, being away from the people who care for me, has made me think about how life would suck if they weren't around me. Uhm, let me rephrase that, since it makes me sound self-centered. Life would be totally different to me if I were not to be around people like them. I hope that was better.

God bless everyone who reads this blog. God bless even more those who comment on my blog entries.

2007-07-17T23:34:00.000-06:00

all good things come to an end. what usually starts off well, ends well. what starts off with a few problems.. might end well too. i think everyone expects for things to end well all of the time... yet, things DON'T always end well, and not this time, though. this time ended bad. a big mess was made from nothing. something not so important was made into a huge f deal...
on the bright side, I'll be back in a few weeks... so, watch out for me....

We are waiting

2007-07-16T22:45:00.000-06:00

Well, at least I know I am.

A few months back, more than a year to be exact, she left to pursue her dreams... away from home, from her friends. Knowing that God was the source of her strength. I want to let you know that I am more than happy that she will be here in two days. She will visit friends, family, ME!!!! and try to catch up with life in Honduras.
I look foward to spending some quality time with her and may she do so with all of her dear friends, which are also waiting for her, almost impatiently.
Welcome back Dana

I'm trading my sorrows

2007-07-09T13:40:00.000-06:00

I finally update my computer. All is well with its soul. iTunes 7.3 and Mac OS X 10.4.10 and Norton is ready to go. But like uncle Ben used to say: with great power, comes great disaster! Somehow my ipod was disconfigured, strangely two days after I updated my mac. I just don't know how that can be possible. iTunes wont recognize my ipod and my mac won't either. Now, the worst part of it all is, that, I wanted to tranfer ALL of my pictures (thousands and thousands) and music (more than enough) and documents of great importance to another computer because I would format my mac before I updated it.
All I can say now is that I look foward to revisiting all those places I've been to in the past 4 years. And well, as for my music, I'll have an even better collection of rarities.
I haven't slept much in the past few days trying to salvage my ipod/hard drive/hobby/source of entertainment/and friend. But all this time I've been up searching and searching for answers has exhausted me and my patience. Yesterday, I went into my nephew's room and saw his two turtles there in a tank, Nemo and Freddy. I fed them their food and was amazed at how responsive they are. I enjoyed how they raced to their green bits of turtle food and used themselves to go further ahead. Interesting it was to just sit there and see that happen, in a room, next to a television. Its nature, yet, trapped, contained.
That took my mind off my software problems fo a while. Now, I'm considering trading my ipod for two turtles... let me know if you're interested.

city lights

2007-07-06T22:40:00.000-06:00

Dark country nights, bright city lights. After living and knowing the country lifstyle for quite some months now, going back to the city's busy traffic of people and cars can be quite a sight after sundown.

Doing 55(mph) is quite a fright, doing 90(mph) feels like it just might end my night. All has changed for me coming back here after so, relatively long time. Trading paved roads for dirt ones. Old friends for some who, with time, might settle as such. A church in the city where everyone knows everyone, yet barely might know their last names. In the 'pueblo', as we like to call it, its impossible to get by unnoticed. Its definitely a place where everyone knows (more than) your name.
I was going to finish today, but no, thanks.

2007-06-04T21:01:00.000-06:00

This is Matilde, an 83 year-old women, from Santa Rita de Copan. We found her laying, just as you see here, on the pavement road that leads to Copan Ruins. What immediately came to mind was that she might be dead. It took a while for all of in the car to process this and decided to return for her.
I got out of the truck and headed towards her. My heart was pounding, since I didn't know what to expect. I had never encountered a situation like this one ever before. She smelled of excrement and urine. She had been laying there for hours but it sure seemed a lot longer than that. I'm even more surprised than the fact that we found her there, that NO ONE, at least thats what I believe, helped her move out of the way, for if she had been helped, she wouldn't have been there.
On the way to the nearest town, Santa Rita, I rode in the back of the truck with her. All that came to mind is why? Why? WHY? Why do things like these happen. How do they happen, how can they? I was having a hard time just trying to process this... Then, she held on to my leg. I could no longer hold my tears...
When we got here, to her daughter's house (its quite a way down from here) Delfina, she told us that her mother was crazy. Mentally ill. That can explain, well, that just might explain why. She had been missing for seven days. But I guess no one was really looking... for she was just a few miles down the road. Covered in flies and mosquitoes. With the hot scorching sun, slowly, yet persistently, warming, burning her skin. Thanks to Maria, we were able to contact Delfina who came as soon as possible. She also told us that its not the first time this had happened. We were even lucky, Delfina said, that Matilde even accepted to come with us.

hey hey, once again here, saying hi.
Album 10 is here. These were taken while I was in SPS two weeks ago. I had fun, yet I did expect a little more. Ni modo!
11 Was my birthday celebration when I got back to Pinalejo. No power that night so we had to celebrate by candle light.
12 This is culmination of our project in El Junco, Pinalejo, Quimistan, Santa Barbara, Honduras.. HA! If you've been keeping up with our project, you will know that this was one of their final steps to having their school-kitchen. This stove/oven is what they commonly know as a Lorena. This stove cost about 200 lps (approx. $10 US Dollars) to make.
13 These pictures were taking randomly, with no goal in mind but to entertain myself. I'd be no less than surprised if you care not to be delighted admiring it.
14 This is my most recent album. These photographs were taken on sunday the third of june. Parque Nacional Cerro Azul-Meambar. It was an intense one-on-one with nature. I was nearly defeated by a bunch of dirt, trees, birds, a few frogs, and lots and lots of humidity. We were on this journey, Mary, our ob-gyn-doctor of the month, Liz, and Artie. Alba, the lady who runs this beautiful site, let us know, before we began, that it usually takes four hours and thirty minutes to complete this tour. Guess what? We did it in three hours. I can tell you I was in an intense level of communication with God. I felt I was about to have my heart stop any minute. If you've never had the pleasure of hiking and take all of what I am saying to be a little heavy on the exageration, i kid you not. Try it!
If you'd like to book reservations: panacam@paghonduras.org

just added 14.1 (part two of my hiking trip album)

Max Lucado

2007-05-26T22:39:00.000-06:00

Max is such an inspiration to me. I've been reading his material for quite some time now. God, through his books and messages, has halped me through rough spiritual times. Times of weakness and lack of faith. God has used him. To get to people such as myself. He's funny aswell as right on the spot when it comes to day-to-day problems...
Here are some of the messages he's preached http://www.maxlucado.com/read/

UNITED STATES MAP

2007-05-18T20:46:00.000-06:00

Of course, this could be true in any country. In fact, this should be true to all the world. God bless you
Short But Good!

A father wanted to read a magazine but was being bothered by hislittle girl, Shelby. She wanted to know what the United States looked like.
Finally, he tore a sheet out of his new magazine on which was printedthe map of the country. Tearing it into small pieces, he gave it toShelby, and said, "Go into the other room and see if you can put thistogether.
This will show you our whole country today."After a few minutes, Shelby returned and handed him the map, correctlyfitted and taped together. The father was surprised and asked how shehad finished so quickly.
"Oh," she said, "on the other side of the paper is a picture of Jesus.When I got all of Jesus back where He belonged, then our country justcame together."This one is worthy of forwarding

2007-05-08T23:03:00.000-06:00

Well, as I promised. Here are my new picture albums 7 and 8.

In album 7 you can see us and some friends at the waterfalls... You can also see here how we wach our truck! This is straight up pueblo.

In album 8 Liz and I went to visit a friend of ours. His name is Julio Cesar M. He is the pastor of the E&R church in El Junco. He recently had a stroke, but he is doing much better now, thank you for you prayer. We had a nice chat, he invited us to drink fresh cow milk, boiled, of course. It had a very different feel to it... I won't say I'm looking foward to drinking that again.

I'm giving up on positing pictures on my blog unless you can give me an idea on how to do it more organized. Therefore, if you, in the mean time, are just dying to see any new pitures of me and the crew, Liz and Artie, in our most recent adventures, click here (2). I'll be posting albums as we go in the order you see below. So, the next one should be YOU GUESSED IT, No. 7

I would also like to recommend our blog, Honduras Interns 2007. Here you can read our week to week travels and projects. So STAY TUNED.

A few other places I deeply recommend, if you're one of those who's intouch with their feelings, Post Secret. It is a webpage where people send in their secrets in a postcard for the rest of the world to see. It shows how liberating it may be to open up sometimes...

(in english)

And last but not least, Jovenes Amor Viviente's blog that is managed by one of my very good friends, Carlos. It has news and recent activities involving the youth of our church, Amor Viviente, San Pedro Sula, Honduras.

magnificence

2007-03-18T15:02:00.000-06:00

Our creation, our baby. Ferdin's second floor.
Jorjon (big George) the most built and strongest man in the Pinalejo area.
Everyone was working hard. We were there to help out with what we could. I'm glad I did it since I like to learn a bit of everything.

Ferdin, our friend, Artie, and myself ready for a hard day's work. (notice how clean I am).
Liz and roger seemed to want to give, but she's got more guts than all the guys there could handle.
See what i mean?
That hole in the wall was made possible by Artie, Liz, Ferdin, and myself. its not as easy as it may seem.
William, Ferdin's brother. A tight family, you can tell by all the hard work he's doing (its not easy to carry around three buckets full of mortar in a wheelbarrow).

early morning traffic jam on the main (and only) road to el junco
liz. i like the way this picture came out

2007-03-18T13:26:00.000-06:00

Even if its only a buzzurd, it is flying high, above all troubles. Eveything seems next to nothing from above.
Liz working on the patient's reports. intense!

This tree is in our backyard. It protrudes, allowing life to subsist off it and dying meanwhile. It feels like, little by little, that tree is sacrificing itslef for other living things such as garrobos and other plants .
The same tree. It gives life but at the same time it seems breathtaking.
This is the kitchen where, at first, we used to spend most of our time in. It is here where I've created my masterpieces.
A better view of the kitchen
This is our other most important meeting spot. Here we share our meals as well as our plans, hopes, disappointments, and our dreams.

Our laundry. Its hard work to wash clothes by hand. I want to say: Thanks Mom!

This is the missionary house viewed by the back.

2007-03-18T12:13:00.000-06:00

View from Escuela de Bolivia, El Junco, Quimistan, Santa Barbara. Every time I go up there I can feel God's presence. It is an amzing view from up here. It feels like you're ontop of the world, even if there are more mountains that are taller around me, its a unique feeling.
El Junco. This picture was taken around 5 in the afternoon, it is about to rain, the clouds are coming down on us and we have to head back to Pinalejo.
This is Liz, my boss and friend.
This is Jose Madrid. He's the caretaker for the missionary house and the compound. He is a very loyal man. He's full of experience in hard laboring jobs all around Honduras. Jose has been to 17 of the 18 departments looking for a better life for his family and himself.
It might not look like much to most but it was built with a lot of planning and love. This structure represents all of the struggles of many people. People from Maine had to work hard to get here to build this, and the people of El Junco enjoyed sharing with people very different from them but with similar needs and goals, a better life for their families.

2007-01-26T17:19:00.000-06:00

Tiempo y distancia. Son dos cosas que hacen cambiar a una persona. A una generacion. A un pueblo, nacion, incluso al mundo entero. Los hippies en los 60, los metaleros en los 80, los homosexuales en el dia de hoy.
Entre mas tiempo estamos distanciados de lo que sea que nos hace funcionar, mas se alteran o se distorcionan las cosas. En el amor, a veces la distancia es buena. En cualquier relacion, a veces el tiempo que uno pasa aparte es bueno y edificante.
Cuando uno se aleja de Dios, y entre mas tiempo pasa alejado de Dios, mas se corrompen las cosas. Mas distante parece la respuesta a nuestro problema. Mas lejos parece estar El. Mantengamos una comunion con Dios y hagamoslo en todo momento. Las cosas podran marchar siempre bien en Cristo si uno asi lo desea.

Christmas Wish List 2007

2006-12-22T18:49:00.000-06:00

I want:

A Bandoleer Bracelet (as seen on left). It is a bracelet made of magnets. Not just ordinary magnets, these are quite cool. They are strong and make a funny snaping or clicking sound when you join them...

The pricetag on this bracelet is $50.00

Heres the description given at the site.

Bandoleer BraceletThese super strong magnets were styled after the iconic bullet belts in military wear. The Bandoleer (or Bandolier) bracelet swirves and forms naturally to any size wrist.

Each cylindrical Rare Earth Magnet binds with the adjacent magnet forming a strong yet smooth flexible band. Explore the playful nature of these magnets as the appear to snap together under their own will. A great ice-breaker and conversation piece.

You can see a video clip on how entertaining and fashionable this bracelet can be.

New Rules for 2007

2006-12-21T20:48:00.000-06:00

I saw these in another blog and had a few good laughs, I recommend you do the same.

2007 Rules to live by.

New Rule: No more gift registries. You know, it used to be just for weddings. Now it's for babies and new homes, graduations, and releases from jail. Picking out the stuff you want and having other people buy it for you isn't gift giving, it's the white people version of looting.

New Rule: Stop giving me that pop-up ad for Classmates.com! There's a reason you don't talk to people for 25 years. Because you don't particularly like them! Besides, I already know what the captain of the football team is doing these days: mowing my lawn.

New Rule: If you need to shave and you still collect baseball cards, you're gay. If you're a kid, the cards are keepsakes of your idols. If you're a grown man, they're pictures of men.

New Rule: There's no such thing as flavored water. There's a whole aisle of this crap at the supermarket - water, but without that watery taste. Sorry, but flavored water is called a soft drink. You want flavored water? Pour some scotch over ice and let it melt. That's your flavored water.

New Rule: Stop messing with old people. Target is introducing a redesigned pill bottle that's square, with a bigger label. And the top is now the bottom. And by the time grandpa figures out how to open it, his ass will be in the morgue. Congratulations, Target, you just solved the Social Security crisis.

New Rule: The more complicated the Starbucks order, the bigger the jerk. If you walk into a Starbucks and order a "decaf grande half-soy, half-low fat, iced vanilla, double-shot, gingerbread cappuccino, extra dry, light ice, with one Sweet-n'-Low and one NutraSweet," ooh, you're a huge jerk.

...

2006-12-21T18:12:00.000-06:00

*Love, as most everyone knows it, sucks! That tingly sensation you get when you see the person you like. Or that other negative tingly sensation you get, that kinda hurts sometimes, when you don't see them or can't talk to them... i hate it. I though i was over with that part of adolescence. Its not really painful, its just annoyingly there and wont go away until you go to sleep that night. Argh!

*Love. That fake, commercialized, feeling in your stomache most people confuse real, eternal, giving, sacrificing, painful love.

Not Safe

2006-12-13T20:29:00.000-06:00

Just the other day, yesterday, tuesday the 12th, a friend of mine and I were on our way to the movies. She decided it would be a better idea to take a cab there, instead of being cheap, and taking the bus, which I suggested.
I was only one block away from my house when, out of somewhere, this guy, probably under 20, came up to me, in a bike, demanding me to lift my shirt. Why? I guess it was because he wanted to make sure I was unarmed so I wouldn't bust a few caps in his--- well, leave unharmed.
It is not everyday a guy comes up to you and asks you to lift your shirt, so I hesitated a while. He asked again. "levantate la camisa!" (lift up your shirt). I was still unsure why he was asking me that, but I did as he said.
As I let my shirt down, he told me to hand over my cell phone. My only though there and then was my friend. I didn't want to put her through any danger so I gave him my cell phone. My sister's cell phone. That only complicates the matter a bit more.
As I took my phone out of my back pocket, I noticed this second man coming toward me with a cell phone in his hand. It seemed as if he was recording everything with his phone, which seemed odd, because he was very weel aware of what I was going through and he tried not to hide it.
Once he got what he wanted, he left. Although, then, I noticed a third guy, this one, on a bike as well. But he did nothing. We just stared at each other.
My friend was a little more than nervous, but who can blame her. Me? I was abnormally calm, a bit worried about my friend, but no more.
I just want to take a moment to thank God for protecting us and making sure nothing else happened. I pray that He will always be there with me and those with me. Thank you Lord.

WONDERFUL NEW YEAR

the other day I recieved an email with a piture linked to it. It represents what friendship can do for you, no matter what. This is just an example though.

Today

2006-12-04T21:03:00.000-06:00

Today was a great day. A new experience that tops any other. Stuff like this will actually put a smile on my face. I needed a day like today to make up for yesterday. Yesterday seemed pretty bad for me. All these weird emotions kept making me doubt about many things in life, about all the wonderful things I want for myself someday, about all the people in my life and those who seem to be. Anyway, I feel better today. Thank you.

Garfield

2006-07-07T20:53:00.000-05:00

Why take a comic strip classic and ruin it by making it into a boring nothing. I can't even call that entertaining. It sucks. I can't tell you enough how much I love the comics... I get them daily through my email.

Part one was 'original'. Everyone wanted to see 'Garfierld' live... but nobody expected that.... it was crap. Part two was even worse. You can tell a movie is no good if they have to take it to the other side of the world, for instance, London. Not there's eanything wrong with London, but, come on! It was a re-tell of The Aristocats...

I give this movie two opposable thumbs down.

A/C

2006-06-25T20:44:00.000-05:00

Never have I had to work under such situations before! The a/c was broken. It was hot, but not just hot, it was humid as well. And it began to rain, which made it a lot worse. Thank God for the a/c's around the world!

rain

2006-05-15T21:49:00.000-05:00

Its soothing.
Soaking the soil beneath our feet, soaking it with life and meaning.
I love the rain, it takes away the pain, slowly but surely it goes away... maybe, well maybe someday.
Ever since I can remember I've liked the rain. The way it makes everything seem heavier and darker, yet lighter. The way it washes all the dirt from the windows, sidewalks and bushes. The way it cleanses our souls from the impurities of life. Even God likes rain, so much that he reminds us of it with a rainbow at the end.

I just bought me an Ipod. Quite expensive, and not sure if it was really worth it. It holds up to 15,000 songs and/or a gazillion pictures hehe (60 GB)! It plays video as well. I hate not know how to use something right away. I remember when I was a little kid and I bought a new toy, (whatever it might have been) and needed not to read the instructions to make it function the way it should. Now, I have to read 71 page manuals to 'teach' me how to use something (i'm talking bout the ipod)... argh! I feel old. I'm definitely getting old too. My birthday is coming up. May 21st. So start buying your presents... :D
