I went to catholic school, both elementary and high school. Perpetuo, my school, is almost 100 years old, so there are generations, after generations of families that have a history studying here.

I like to run, mostly on the treadmill, by myself just listening to music; music is a must.

On Wednesday, LifeSkills Village, one of my blog's followers, tweeted me asking for an email where they could reach me to talk about my blog.

The next day, on Thursday I received an email directly from them, inviting me to collaborate with … Continue reading The chance to collaborate and make a difference
Well I'm glad we are allowed, because at least one person in the world should think I'm strong, and I think I am. I know people have seen everything I have done in the past few years, I'm still working on it, I'm not done.

I felt like I wasn't doing well when it came to … Continue reading Remember, please

It was a great accomplishment for me, not only because it was the sixth, and I did it all by myself, but because I beat my personal record time.
