So ... this is how IT, my blog, started to BE. *Idea*

*Down*

My mother is always saying that I NEED some privacy.
Hey, I know that! Believe me, I DO!
But my reply to that is: I'm a WRITER! I can't help it!
That's what I LOVE *Heart* to do!
I just have to RUN and WRITE, *Pencil* every time that I feel that tingling inside,
that almost makes it difficult to breath! Do you know what I mean *Question*
I know you've felt it before. Maybe not in the same way, or for the same reasons...
but at least, you've felt it!
For me, that's the road I have chosen and the one I'll have to travel ...
again and again ... and again ...

Like a writer I know very well once said: *Thought*

"As writers, our journey through imagination can be pictured as a neverending story.
At the "end of the road", we look back and say: I'm ready for a new adventure!"

*Burstv* Wineska Cintrón (myself) *Wink*

Now! Maybe you're wondering what you'll find along the way. Easy!
My *Thought* thoughts, my comments, *Pencil*
critics, *No* anything. Just my life! *Woman* At least how I see it! Plain and simple!
I can't promise you that I'll be able to write every single day! Only God knows for sure!
But at least I'll try my best! *Bigsmile*

C o m e - i n s i d e ! Take a look around!
Do you like what you see? I'm GLAD! *Thumbsup*
If you don't ... don't blame me! In the end, if something
I wrote touched you in some way; I'll be more than happy to know that it did ...
so ...

Feel free to comment! *Pencil* Be my guest!
In the meantime...
could you spare me some of that pop corn ... PLEASE!

5.  What a Day!ID #746240

What a day!




Well, well, well ... I'm BACK!!! And it feels REALLY GOOD!! *Wink*

Today was one of those days ... when things doesn't work as planned! So ... what about some lemonade? Do you want some? I drank a couple of those today. *Wink*

First, I had NO *Coffee* coffee this morning, so a HUGE migraine took over me. *Angry* My son had a math test today (a very LONG math test), like a review of the whole chapters we covered since January, so I had time to relax, and keep my mind occupied to not think about the migraine! *Rolleyes* When my son finished the test, he used the PC for a little while, (got a 100% on a Global Warming quiz/test on the internet), and I let him play for a while on his facebook account. I needed to cook dinner, so ... while I was at it I realized I needed some ingredients and things too like: *Coffee* bread, *Coffee* juice, *Coffee* toilet paper, *Coffee* soap and of course *Coffee* COFFEE! I WAS DYING! I couldn't concentrate on what I was doing! BELIEVE ME! Starbuck's Sign was FLASHING constantly on my mind. Therefore I said: "Jean lets go to the gas station to buy some bread and stuff and then we can drink a coffee at Starbucks! What do you think?" The answer was *Right* GREAT! But let me tell you something my blogging friends. You CAN'T imagine, the look on my face when I went downstairs to find my car with a flat tire. *Shock* WT*!!!

So ... here comes my lemonade!

My son and I went upstairs again, and worked together to fix what in PR we call a "Ensalada de Papa". *Wink* Didn't had all the ingredients, but at least our tummys are full. *Bigsmile* And of course! I called my mother *Right* "Emergency! PLEASE can you bring me some coffee? My head is exploding and my car has a flat tire? LOVE *Heart* YOU MOM!"

Moms! They ALWAYS come to the rescue!

Mmmmm! Coffee! *Coffee* It brought me back to life! *Wink*

A New Semester!



WOW! *Shock* It's been so long since I last updated my blog. Ten days exactly! The reason is that I've been working on the art exposition and a lot around the house: cleaning, organizing, just making sure that everything was ready for the new semester. Yes! The new semester is here! Classes started yesterday at our home. I homeschool my son who's in the 5th grade. It's a wonderful adventure! The name of our school at home and group is Treetops Homeschooling. You can search for it on Facebook. There's a page (Click on Like), a group and you can also ask to be friends with Treetops if you like! *Wink* There I share educational links and other cool stuff. *Thumbsup*

We always have SO MUCH FUN! And the best part of it is that we Learn Together.


The art exposition titled "Niños, Vida y Color" (Children, Life and Colors) is open (Here at Puerto Rico, sorry guys!), now till February 5, 2012. All the paintings are beautiful.


What will the new semester bring?
Can't wait!

Till next time!! *Smile*

Hi readers!!! *Bigsmile* How are you? ... Me? Huh! Today I've been LAZY!

After yesterday's Party for the WDC Power Reviewers Group , (where by the way I had SO MUCH FUN!), and after all the Celebration afterwards for the Three Kings Day here at P.R. this morning all I wanted to do was: SLEEP!!!
z z Z Z Z Z Z Z z z Z Z Z Z Z Z z z Z Z Z Z Z Z z z Z Z Z Z Z Z z z Z Z Z Z Z Z z z Z Z Z Z Z Z

I was SO DAMNED TIRED!!! Gosh! But ... like always ... reality w o k e me up *Down*

"Mom! Let's *Music1* sing *Music2* KARAOKE!"

The Three Kings, brought him the "Disney SING IT Party Hits" a Karaoke game for the Wii! KARAOKE!!! So ... you can imagine the rest! I LOVE *Heart* Karaoke, and I LOVE *Heart* to *Music1* sing *Music2*, even though sometimes the weather lady announces a SUDDEN STORM W A R N I N G for Puerto Rico! *Shock* He he! But ... I don't mind! All I wanted to do was to have some FUN with my son, SO ...I got up at once and started singing like Crazy! *Music1* *Music2* *Music1* *Music2* *Music1* *Music2* *Music1* *Music2* YES! ME SINGING! I should be PROUD of myself! I got *Star* *Star* *Star* *Star* for the song: "Naturally" by Selena Gomez! WOO HOO! *does a happy dance* I'm NOT that bad! *Blush* REALLY! *Wink*

So ... the day went by and we sang all morning and part of the afternoon. Then we played the "Just Dance 3" game, and ..... YES ... I ended up EXHAUSTED!!! *Sick* I was SO TIRED that I ordered an artisan pizza! *Eat* Mmmm! Spinach, onions, and Fetta cheese. MY FAVORITE!

Now ... my son is drawing and writing some stories (he's just like mommy *Bigsmile* but improved! He writes and creates the posters, images and all. Hehe!), and ... me *Question* Well ...

ALL I NEED to be happy now is a HUGE cup of coffee, *Coffee* my laptop and a strong WiFi connection to relax and enjoy doing what I LOVE *Heart* to do *Pointright* WRITE! *Pencil*

Being HERE *At* Writing.com is all I want. *sights* AT LAST ... time for *Woman* ME ...and I'll be more than happy to share it with all of you: my *Reading* readers, my *People* friends and fellow *Pencil* writers! Where else would I wanna be?

So let the night's adventures begin! *Wink*

Celebrating Three Kings Day!



Hi everyone!!!! Today here at Puerto Rico we Celebrate the Three Kings Day! Its a VERY SPECIAL Celebration in which every kid gathers grass and puts it inside of a box under the tree, at the foof of their beds, anywhere they like, so the camels of the 3 Kings have something to eat, because they are tired of the LONG and EXHAUSTING road they take every year to bring each kid of the World presents. Of course! As soon as they've been good boys and girls. *Wink*
It's been a Tradition for years here at my Beautiful Island! Last night my son gathered grass and placed it near the front door! He was SO HAPPY! That made me smile. I LOVE all the magic this Season brings!!!

We decorate with lights, and put on some music, and we have so much FUN playing board games and just being with each other! That's the important thing about it! To bring family together and spend time with one another.

I wish you all a BEAUTIFUL day full of blessings and joy!

For me I'll continue having fun here at Writing.com, with the reviews for the "Party" !

Hi *Smile* and Good Morning to all!
Ok! Here we go!

My first entry for the year 2012. WOW! Last year went by SO FAST! But I'm glad it's gone and that a NEW one is HERE full of NEW ADVENTURES, ups and downs! What else? What would happen?!?!?!? *Shock* WHO KNOWS! So .... S T A Y - T U N N E D ! *Wink*

My life, at least as I see it is not an unusual life. I'm a mother like a lot of woman are. I have a beautiful 10 yrs old son, whom I LOVE *Heart* VERY MUCH! He's the light of my eyes! MY EVERYTHING! Yeah ... yeah ... like every mother out there would say. I homeschool my son to make sure that he IS learning all he needs to learn. That's something unusual in Puerto Rico, (where I'm from) like also is being "Vegetarians." (Ovo/Lacteum) *Confused* if I got that right!? Anyways! That means that we eat eggs and milk if we need it. Not every day, but at least once a week. I LOVE NATURE AND ANIMALS, and I BELIEVE in the law of attraction and spirituality. So I TRY the best that I can, to be positive in every way. I'm also divorced and I live with my son in a cute little house where we still play with boardgames (the real stuff) and enjoy watching movies together etc. We also play Wii, other electronic games and enjoy technology, we are NOT living in a bubble! *Laugh* *Shock* Although I would LOVE to with all the pollution, and criminality around here! *Sad* But focusing on the positive side of the story (you see) *Right*
I REALLY LIKE
the time we spend together as a family, just by siting down at the table and playing a fun board game like in the "oldies" (if you ask a teenager now a days) EVERYONE did!
Hope he still want to play with mommy when he turns 11. *Cry* He's growing SO FAST!!

About Writing.com, I've been a member since 2003, and I'm VERY PROUD of it! Years ago I was a VERY ACTIVE member of the community, (and I plan to do it again) *Wink* hosting contests, groups and forums, but sad enough I had a LOT of personal problems that kept me away from the site for more than a year. I missed Writing.com SO MUCH! But, HEY!! I'M BACK! *Thumbsup* I'm VERY EXCITED *Bigsmile* about it! I had a lot of friends here, and I hope to chat again with all of them! I also still miss my friend BlueThunder . She was an awesome lady, who taught me SO MUCH! So ... there you are! That's me! And I think that's enough for an intro! *Rolleyes* If you let me I'll never shut up!! *Laugh*

So what's for today! I don't know! It's still 10:15am! All I know is that I'm gonna be spending some time with one of my best friends here at PR, because we are giving the final touches to an art exposition that we have on the Museum of Arts, where homeschooled children will expose their paintings. We are SO EXCITED! So ... wish me luck with all the plannings and final touches! Catch up with you later! Take care and have a great day!! *Smile*
