Today I went jogging again. I've stopped going for a week because my knee was hurting since one morning I had to climb up the roof tank with my sister to fix a leak in the pipe; I went up really fast and twisted my knee. I felt much better today. But, before going to exercise, first I had to go to the pharmacy for my mother's medicine. I was already on my jogging clothes so I had to go downtown dressed like that. I know it isn't a big deal, but I'm not used to get into a…
Today, while I was on my way home —as there was no one around— I started practicing my speaking skills. And I realized that my accent is just fine! And that the reason I still don't feel confident enough when speaking other languages is the same reason I don't feel confident enough when speaking MY OWN language: "𝘚𝘈𝘕𝘋𝘙𝘈, 𝘠𝘖𝘜'𝘙𝘌 𝘈𝘕 𝘐𝘕𝘛𝘙𝘖𝘝𝘌𝘙𝘛 😂" When I'm writing I can easily communicate to other people. I sometimes even feel like I write too much. But when I speak, it's hard…
I'm watching season 2 of Impulse (Youtube Originals' series). And, in chapter 4 they only speak romanian! I feel like I'm listening to a mix of french, spanish and korean (yeah, korean, I don't know why either 😂). I even understood two complete sentences that sounded like spanish. I have read that romanian and spanish share some similarities. Words like 🇪🇸Ayuda/Ajuta🇷🇴 (Help) and 🇪🇸Yo/Eu🇷🇴 (I, myself) have almost the same pronouncing both in spanish or romanian. Maybe I…
It has been a relief week. I took my time to think, read, watch movies and series; charging batteries and creativity. But I have been around here some days, reading you and making comments when I felt like. This I did helped me to stop what I knew was coming: That kind of blocking. Somehow I learned to notice when that blocking is coming to my mind and I'm capable of stopping it. I even could analyze how it started last time it hit me strongly: See, the normal way my mind…
In addition to my last renoise: (I do it this way because I think including this in that comment would be a little disrespectful) Well, it didn't matter much, because it turns out that my mother @EneidaPerez was the one who taught my father to drive! 😂 And now she is teaching my sister and me, though we currently can't use the car 'cause it is broken down. So, she is teaching us, not just to drive, but to fix the car! Just the way her uncle taught her. I will tell her to…
I was singing random songs and Youtube started playing Christina Aguilera songs. More specifically, her spanish album "Mi reflejo" (My reflection). I started singing and I felt so light doing it. I even recorded myself to hear me better —I have a private "studio" channel on Telegram— and I compared it to my old recordings. My voice sounds more like what it used to be when I was 14 years old, but certainly more trained. I want to keep singing, but it's almost midnight, I…
There is a Christmas sweet that is made of papaya (here we call it "lechosa"). I want to make some, but now I can't find green papaya at the markets. I don't know what happened to the distributors or the farmers this year. (Maybe I should plant a papaya tree in my backyard like @kennyroy did 👉 https://noise.cash/post/76k70n0h2v0q) Last time I cooked this sweet, I used an electric pan. As it keeps the temperature constant, the sugar melted without burning out or sticking to…
𝘾𝙖𝙣'𝙩 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚... There was a lot of noise coming from outside of the house today. The new neighbor really got on my nerves with his loud music to the point I don't even want to hear my own music now. I'm trying to finish some of these post I wrote down some time ago, but I have some disorder inside my mind; I cannot write even the light text ones, I'm mixing ideas. I'm sitting in front of my laptop, holding my world map ball, trying to think. I used to have a couple of…
Hello, Noisers! I'm reading the comments to the post I made yesterday about my new noisy neighbor and I think I should give a little context about that situation and how these things work here in my country: They are not actually living there. One of my neighbors is renting them a place so they can have their store. And weeks ago they installed the speakers and started listening to music so loud that inside my house we couldn't hear anything else, not even what we speaked.…
Good day, noisers! Now it is 12:00 pm. I'm still decorating and cleaning, so I have no time no make lunch. I'm now taking a break to drink some coffee with these MARIA cookies my sister bought. It's funny, I don't know if my memory is failing, but I thought this presentation came with 10 packages of 5 cookies each. But now it says 9 packages of 4 cookies each. Perhaps they are cutting costs. Or maybe I haven't eaten them for a long time and I forgot. Well, I will eat a bunch…
Hello! Yesterday I ended up too tired to post this. Grapes hanged, but they didn' light. It might be a fuse or the extension... We need to check that out. Last year there was no problem with those lights. On the other hand, my aunt did finish putting the Nativity scene. It's ready for the cat to get a nap there.😂 I'll take another picture in the night for a better look. In other news: About 4AM I started to get a slight sore throat. I ate some ginger and I feel a little…
𝙎𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝘾𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙢𝙖𝙨 𝘿𝙖𝙮 As long as I can remember, I usually spend Christmas day reading at the living room while everyone else in the house is still asleep. I enjoy that silence. This year was different. I spended the whole Christmas eve sharing with my friends on Facebook and eating lots of cookies and soda after dinner. I went to sleep late, so I woke up too late the next day. And because of that I didn't get to watch the James Webb Space Telescope Launch Live. It doesn’t…
A few months ago this little cat appeared in front of our door. We started feeding it for a while, and everytime one of us opened the door to get out the house, it was trying to get inside. It was so cute and insistent that even my aunt was considering to adopt it. It was hard to make that desicion because adopting a cat, involves having to sterilize and vaccinate it. We cannot afford that. Also, we didn’t know what would it be Misa-Misa’s reaction to this new member in the…
Last training session of #2021. Let's do this with energy. I do n't know if I will be able to publish something tomorrow, so want to wish a Happy New year to all Noisers around the world. It's been a long and hard year for me, but you have certainly helped me go through it with all your beautiful stories, pictures and messages. #english #wemakenoise #NewYearsEve
