A very important part in my rehabilitation has been the large support group I have, from my family and friends, to friends of friends. There has always been someone there to help, from getting a job, a doctor, or medicine, to just talking. I will not forget all those people who have been there to … Continue reading My support group

I am now enjoying spending some time with my three youngest cousins. I had missed them and missed watching them grow up to be teenagers, but I have to say I'm very glad they have not turned into annoying teenagers. I did kind of return to my younger self fighting over the floating devices at … Continue reading Good times with the cousins
Being Puerto Rican, I know that speaking spanish anywhere but here, people always think I'm from any of the other Spanish speaking places in the world, especially people who don't speak Spanish. People immediately think I'm Mexican or Dominican, when I'm Puertorican; people see us all as the same thing. We are not, we have … Continue reading Ignorance is our worst enemy
So it looks like people think live animals are toys they can play with. How do we end up in a world where people don't know how to react to other living organisms? I have to admit, I freaked out the time I was snorkeling and a bunch of turtles showed up, but I didn't … Continue reading And now we’re hurting turtles?
I like to run, mostly on the treadmill, by myself just listening to music; music is a must. At the beginning of the run I just want to give up, but as I keep going I start thinking; sometimes about dinner or lunch, sometimes about movies or TV. Other times stuff in my head starts … Continue reading Run for your neurons
I have been kind off covering this story on a few of my previews posts, and today it got more interesting, but I won't stop until they vote. Right now democrat representatives are staging a sit-in, refusing to leave the house of representatives until they have reached a vote on gun control. These are news … Continue reading #NoBillNoBreak
Tomorrow my cousin is going to Africa , where he will spend the next two years working with the Peace Corps. I want to wish Brian the absolute best and I don't know if I already told him but I want him to know how proud I am. This is a very good and brave … Continue reading Burkina Faso: Get Ready
I'm a soccer fan, not a huge fan but I like to watch the tournaments and I am in love with a few players. However, I had not been watching the UEFA European Cup or Copa America both being held right now. I really haven't had time and that sucks, but this after noon, as … Continue reading Euro 2016 cardio
I would like to take a moment to say Happy Father's Day to all the fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers (who are also fathers so they get a double celebration), and other father figures, be it a brother, a friend, or uncle, out there. I am lucky to have a few father figures in my life who … Continue reading Happy Father’s and Grandfather’s day
After spending Friday morning looking like a workaholic, working from the foodcourt and a mini sofa in one of the halls of the mall. I thought I wouldn't be able to do it with all the noise, but surprisingly I was able to focus. I had to make a lot of phone calls, but I … Continue reading They’re older, I’m working
I have to keep going on about this because this is just a logical thing, don't put guns in the hands of citizens, even if they're law abiding citizens, or appear to be. You don't know whose hands the gun is going to end up, or where the bullet will end up. Republicans say carrying … Continue reading Say no to guns
Today, too many people continue to defend the indefensible. There are a series of issues in play here, but the United States of America has an undeniable problem with gun violence. How many more lives need to be lost before we do something about lax gun laws? How can a person previously tied to terrorism … Continue reading Gun control, now!
Hearing the news about the mass shooting in Orlando was another reminder of why we need love and acceptance in this world. I just keep thinking about all the victims, their friends and families. Our world cannot continue this way. Stop thinking about the differences between you and others, stop judging and criticizing. We don't … Continue reading All we need is love
I am very sad to write my last goodbye to a man who I can say is my inspiration. Pedro was a great husband to a very loving wife, a very good father, a very loving grandfather, and a great friend. I had known him for about 16 years, when my mom started working with … Continue reading My hero
My first attempt in taking a graduate class didn't go as well as I hoped, but I am ready to try again. I will start by taking one class in the Post Graduate Certificate at the best communications college in Puerto Rico, Universidad de Sagrado Corazon or Sacred Heart University. This will be just one more … Continue reading Post Graduate Certificate
