Hi again! I am back here without much progress in my creative side. But with lots of good energy and good thoughts, that I hope one day I am going to convert them in reality. About my previous post, I agree, I feel I have to justify my life sometimes, because I have lots of training and I am not using it to earn my bread, but it turns out, I have used some of it during Luca's journey. There were so many times that I thought, fortunately I am a researcher, I know how to look for information, I know how to get resources, and I know how to process and understand useful information that if you don't have that science background it sometimes is hard. I can make better decisions because of the background I have and for that, I feel it was all worth it already. I guess my only reason to move on with a job would be looking into the future, but for now, in the present I am just fine. I was watching a movie last night. It was about John Lennon's early life. It was a good movie, and it made me want to learn how to play the guitar even more. I feel there is this artistic side of me that is wanting to come out in all different ways, and this is one, music. It seems like when he started he knew nothing about playing instruments, but with a lot of willingness to succeed he learned, and of course he was a very talented person, composer and musician. Not that I would want that, I just want to enjoy playing. I found a guitar store not far from home. I was so happy in that groovy environment, but classes are very expensive. I know I can do it by myself, I just need motivation to continue learning in a regular basis. I also put new strings in Luca's little guitar and it sounds way better. He is starting to realize how to put his fingers to play chords, I love it. Maybe we will jamm together some day

  Hola de nuevo! Estoy de vuelta sin mucho progreso en el lado creativo. Pero con mucha buena energica y buenas ideas, que espero que algun dia se conviertan en realidad. Sobre mi entrada anterior, estoy de acuerdo, a veces siento que me tengo que justificar en mi vida, porque tengo tanta educacion que no estoy usando para ganarme el pan, pero resulta que ne realidad, si que he usado bastante de lo que aprendi durante la aventura de Luca. Hay tantas veces en las que he pensado que por suerte soy investigadora, que se como buscar informacion, que se como encontrar recursos, y que se como procesar y enternder la informacion que si no tuviera esa base de ciencias seria mucho mas dificil. Puedo tomar mejores decisiones por ese historial que tengo y por eso, creo que todo merecio la pena. Creo que la unica razon para seguir adelante buscando un trabajo seria mirando al futuro, pero por ahora, en el presente estoy bien. 


 Ayer estaba viendo una peli. Era sobre la vida de John Lennon de joven. Estuvo bien, y me hizo querer seguir tocando la guitarra aun mas. Siento que tengo este lado artistico dentro de mi que quiere salir de muchas maneras diferentes, y esta es una, la musica. Parece que cuando empezo no sabia nada de tocar instrumentos, pero con mucho interes y ganas de ser famoso aprendio, y claro que era una persona con mucho talento, compositor y musico. No esque quiera llegar a eso, solo necesito motivarme para continuar aprendiendo de manera regular. Tambien le cambie las cuerdas a la guitarra de Luca y suena mucho mejor. Esta empezando a darse cuenta de como poner los dedos para tocar acordes, me encanta. Quizas toquemos juntos algun dia.

Well one thing I always do is cook. I bought this fish stock to make paella...and I am not sure where I messed up, but the paella looked great but didn't taste much like anything! It drives me insane! but the next day, when I recook it with some garlic and some more salt it does taste delicious and the fish flavor somehow comes out. It is a mystery to me, the thing is the more I make some dish the better I get at it, like potato omelets and black beans and rice, those I am really good at, but paella, it's a whole different story. Here is my beautiful paella.

  Pues una cosa que siempre hago es cocinar. Compre caldo de pescado para hacer paella...y no se donde meti la pata, pero la paella tenia muy buena pinta pero no sabia a nada! me vuelvo loca! pero al dia siguiente, cuando la salteo con ajos y algo mas de sal esta muy rica y si que sale el saborcito a pescado. Es un misterio, la cosa es que cuanto mas repito una receta mejor me sale, como con las tortillas de patatas y los frijoles negros con arroz (feijoada), esos me salen muy bien, pero la paella, es otra historia. Aqui esta mi paella preciosa.
