How is living in another state?

 Hello y'all

How many of you have the idea to go to another state but yet it's only and idea, you look for information on the net, you research, get into forums, bloggers, you tubers, but still don't find the right thing who make you take a decision.

Well I have been thinking to post some of my experience moving to other states, what you have to look, areas and prices, rent a house or apartment, utility bills and its deposits, car registrations, jobs and school if you have kids, if not, you can skip that part! Supermarkets where you can buy and places you can visit and get to know your city.

All that is important because you know how much money will you be spending the first 2 months. And my advise is that before moving, check for employment first and apply it, is important to have the job taken, or if not you'll lose time and money, but if you are going already with a job...thumbs up!!! That's great, you have already made the first most important point of the list!

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to leave comments, and I will get back to you!!!

Thank you!

Sexual Harassment on my library....

Today I had a strange situation that I don't wish it to anybody.I went to the library to pick some books, lately is my hobby!!! So I was on the spanish department and there was this guy, a black male, 6" ft tall, skinny, wearing a black Nike t shirt and wearing sport clothes. It kinda feel weird because he did not look spanish at all to me, but you never know, right? So I was over some books and I wasn't putting attention to this guy, the thing is he was getting to the point who was acting very strange, so I moved far away to the crafts sections, and like a minute later, on the other side of the book shelves I see him, like he's looking for books but he isn't, he's actually moving right to left and so on... like he was shadowing my movements. I went down to pick a book and I raise my eyes to the other side through the books and.....OMG!!!! He's masturbating!!!!! So gross, so disgusting.... ughhhh Of course I went straight to the counter to speak with someone about it and to report it!!! We are in a library, imagine if there are kids around!!! What's going on??? Seriously, that situation was awful and felt bad about it. The guy walked away before police arrived, but I did my best to detail everything I remembered, mostly clothes.. and accessories, because I was looking for books, not looking guys!!!

So long ago It happens something strange as well, it was like 60 miles from where I live now. I remember I went to Publix to get some cookies for my hubby and I'm with the cashier, he's ringing up my stuff, and this black male come out of nowhere and ask me how much are the cookies. I respond to him the price thinking that he may like and may want to buy cookies for himself, but no... he open his wallet and was pretending to pay me the cookies. Ehh...excuse me? I don't need noone to pay for my cookies! Hellouuu??? It freaked me out, so I didn;t ran to my car, but I walked as fast as I could. Once I was on my car, I looked over my back, and there he was. So, I started my car and drove, he kinda follow me and I was into going to the police station, but after giving some turns I lost him.
 I spoke about this to my husband and he looks at me perplex but he thinks seriously that I make this up.

Like really??  It always happens something to me when he's no around, either way, I don't think he notices if someone says anything...it may be the english barrier... who knows!!!

Does anything like that happen to you before? something strange that you would like to share?

Final Cut Pro for Windows?

NO WAY!!!

I'm surprised that with all the technology around we are kinda stuck when planning to edit a video.

If you are a Mac user, that's fine because you have IMovie (that is similar to Windows Movie Maker) and then the next step is going for Final Cut Pro (which not only me, but any who had used before know is fantastic). 

What about other programs for editing?

Let's see Sony Vegas is not that bad but can't compare with Final Cut. Is more like an upgrade from Movie Maker ( at least from my point of view), and the other ones like WeVideo so simple that even a cat can use it. Maybe for 5 years old or people not savvy at all, but on these days even 10 years old kids know how to use those programs a Final Cut..

The next good one that you can use in any platform is Lightworks, and the best is Free the basic stuff like: 
- real time titling effects, real time effects including over 100 presets, advance multi cam editing, second monitor output. You can import in all formats (another plus), but only to upload in youtube, web and Vimeo (like WMM) If you are a youtuber that is just great, no need for more.

So many people use also Pinnacle Video, that it's not bad but is getting older and the updates aren't that special, it's also a pretty easy editor to use, what i like most in here is the background audio that you can add which is super easy. It stops all the time and I don't have the patience.

Then there is Filmora which you also have to pay a quote to be able to use it to the max, but pretty much every video editor is similar to the other, just only the names and some little differences. 

We are already working with 3D printing, with is a huge advance in technology and opened the doors to the world a thousands of opportunities for designers, creators.etc, so how's is possible we still are on pampers with video editing? It should be way more options and better.

I always believed that if I was on my mind it was possible to become a reality... and it's coming... certain things faster than others.

What video editor do you use? Why you like it? Which would you recommend?

Hope to hear from you!!!!

Happy reading!!! :)

Are you visiting Barcelona Spain?

Happy Tuesday!!!

Today I decided to post about Barcelona. I live in Miami, US, but my family and I have lived in Barcelona for many years, and it's a beautiful city that's still growing.

Last year I used to work with Marriott as Reservation Agent, and I have a lot of guest traveling to Barcelona, since I love to travel I used to send them a map with all the places they can visit. (It was just an extra, but I thinks it makes a difference when you are traveling, sometimes we get many hours looking on the internet and we miss the city).


So here are some Maps:

Here is the Link, it will be way easier for you to look at it.

Here I attach you the subway map, and then with all the places you can go and visit.

 Touristic places in Barcelona through the Subway exits:

If you staying a week or 15 days, you will have time to check it out everything even travel around the small towns.

 If you only have less than 5 days then I can build an Itinerary regarding those days.

 I have good contacts with packages in Spain and you can have an unique experience under a budget. So if you ever are interested, let me help you here is my email.

Places for guys (and some girls) who love soccer---- The Camp Nou is a must!!! (sometimes you can find great tickets and if you are planning with time you can even see Barcelona vs Real Madrid game).

 If you want to see art, sculptures, designs, architecture, then you must visit: La Pedrera, El Parque Guell, La Sagrada Familia, MontJuic, etc.

 Parque Guell



  La  Pedrera

    Montjuic

 La Sagrada Familia.

 Those are only some places to visit. I will post more about this subject, and I'll also let you know about all the apps you can have in your cell phone, to extra help you find in an easy way the best parts of Barcelona!!!

Hope you had travel a little with me this morning!!!

Our gold moon... Poem

Did you see last night moon?

Was huge

she was named Artemis, Aphrodite,

Isis, Morgana, Selene...

Goddess of femininity

involves everybody who watches her

hide in the universe,

admired for everyone

simply beautiful

unique

but lonely

trapped by jail of customs,

desires, fears...

She is secretly in love

of the Sun

but is hard to catch him;

the universe is so big

but only one fire star 

makes her vibrate.

Every night she waits 

until the Sun appears on the horizon.

She waits patiently 

praying for be the only one. 

While the moon waits

the time fly

the love become impossible

to get,

is transformed

in something superfluousness-

when the Sun awakes
and found it out

was too late.

And the Moon
away from the sun
happy to see him every morning

still on the Universe

spells with her magic 

to all of us.

Maybe that's the reason
to feel romance under her light
cause your under her spell.

is it getting fit a goal difficult to achieve...?

Yeah  but it doesn't have to...you heard me!! or actually you're reading me at this momento!

 I have gained so much weigh that scares me when I see pictures of myself. Doesn't happen to you? I try everyday to start a diet, I even feel guilty eating but I wasn't motivated so and kept quitting every time. How many of you think that does not have the right "sport wear" to start?.You know deep down is bad excuse!!! You are sabotaging yourself!!!

Or you came with the ideas of " Is hot outside, I'll wait until it gets fresh", and when the time came then you are like... "oh is too dark, don't want to go run because it might some bugs around" or maybe " I already took a shower... so can't do!!!"

 We always will find a million excuses to not to do it, but I think we need to cheer us up every minute, try to keep your mind positive, check the pictures where you feel bad (like that one where your arms looks twice as big... vs the other one you look great, normal and healthy, not skinny, just fine).

Drink tons of water!! I can tell you I'm horrible drinking water but lately what I do is buy water bottles, I noticed I grab them one after another, and at the end of the day I had drank 5. Not bad, right? Or maybe just add some fruits, like lemon, strawberry's, orange... to give a scent to the water. I also love drinking tea, so I usually drink it hot but like 3 to 4 times daily.

Setting up your mind into "healthy mode" is not that difficult, you only need to work on it a day at a time, that's it!! Is fine to put goals like let's say a month, but at the same it brings anxiety to your life and then you end it up eating more. Let's say you have to take it like you are in a cruise with a itinerary of events and just enjoy while you can.

I'll say for starters:

 Wake up in the morning and drink a cup of water (get some shorts and t shirt, have breakfast) try to avoid milk, because is not good for you at all.  Then your regular morning breakfast. (try to avoid sugars or flour)
Do some exercise... no need to kill yourself  running 4 miles or be working out for 2 hours, just leave it at 30 mins. Best way to do this is getting some nice music, that is going to make you dance!!! Oh yeah... something like Work B.cht from Britney Spears, or Party Rock from LMAO.  Just like doing zumba fitness!! Have you tried? If you are not a gym person, you can always get the DVD's and do it yourself at home. Another exercise that I love is Kick Boxing is a nice one!!!

 And then get dress and go to work or whatever you do in regular basis. Don't forget drinking water if you're hungry, and a hot drink after lunch. It helps burns the fat.

For dinner: some veggies,salad, chicken, eggs. Not too much food, just enough,

And if you are having hard time getting into doing exercise,.. there is this fantastic website FitGirls that teach you how to do it, there is a challenge: 28 day Jumpstart that you can follow on Instagram #28dayjumpstart. The only requirement is to purchase their book ( that is really cool and give you tons of tips) and a goal of 28 days into this diet, every day you see girls just like you doing her best, and between each other, show their support, so you are not by yourself and if you need that extra push, they will help you to achieve it. You can repeat as many times as you want.

Check it out first and if you like join!!!

 I know some people get really obsessed in the road of getting fit, but what is important is taking it slow but maintain yourself full motivated and mostly happy with what you are, because the inside is the most precious thing in a person!!! Never forget that!!

Fortune Foretelling in 2014

Overview: It is their order to encounter the Year of Birth (Benming Nian), a year to offend “Taisui" the god in charge of people’s fortune. In 2014, their fortune in all aspects will fluctuate, so will require great care. They may feel more stressed out, in which case they are advised to talk about it with close friends or councilors, and take part in group activities. Faced with any difficulties, they should be strong to overcome them all. If they treat people around them friendly and behave righteously, they will get through the year smoothly.

Career: Horse people are easily offended this year even for trifles, and seem not to keep a harmonious relationship with colleagues. Sometimes they doubt themselves too much, leading to a gradual loss of confidence. When finishing a task, they seek confirmation again and again from people around them. In this case, it is suggested to be confident and talk more to family instead of complaining to colleagues. Just keep a low profile, get along well with your boss and be careful of tricks by mean people and then achievements in your job will come. 

Wealth: Their financial fortune will be unstable in 2014. It seems that there will be much unexpected cost. Thus to make ends meet comes first When managing money matters, they should consider accepting others’ suggestion. It is necessary to be careful to make any investment. Businesspeople should make a full scheme before making a large amount of investment, because the market will be changeable in the year.  

Relationships: The fortune in love life for horse people will be just so-so. If they would like to get married in the year, it is strongly suggested to select an auspicious date according to the dates of birth of the bride and the bridegroom, or they will suffer a lot in marriage. Singles may meet several people that they have feelings for, but none of them are doomed to be their Mr./Ms. Right. If faced with a dilemma, they’d better refer to the idea or suggestion of their relatives and friends. Husband and wife will argue a lot in the year; a focus on communication and mutual understanding can avoid it. For all lovers, mutual trust is the secret for an everlasting relationship. 

Health: As they offend “Taisui” this year, they may suffer some discomforts. Some insidious diseases like dermatosis may happen. To avoid that, they’d better have a full physical examination. Besides, they also need to be careful to avoid unexpected injuries by knives and others sharp items. Females should pay attention to problem in urinary system and males need to care more about their stomach. Adjusting their emotions and traveling outside will help with their health as well. They also need to remember not to eat too much for each meal.

Horses and the five elements

Metal Horse – Years 1930 and 1990

Free-spirited in every sense of the word, commitment is the easiest way to scare Metal Horses away. They prefer jumping from one relationship or job to the next. Because of this, Metal Horses make better friends than partners.

Water Horses – Years 1942 and 2002

Adaptable yet indecisive, Water Horses have a tendency to flow like the current. They have trouble making up their minds and as a result, they always seem to be confusing others. And although this behavior can be frustrating, Water Horses are fun to be around so most people just get used to it.

Wood Horses – Years 1954 and 2014

Stable and strong, Wood Horses are better able to make decisions. They interact well with others; a trait that enables them to have more successful personal and professional relationships.

Fire Horses – Years 1906 and 1966

The fire is always burning inside Fire Horses. They love living on the edge and are always ready for change as change always is more interesting. They are incredibly opinionated and one place you’ll never find Fire Horses is standing on the fence.
Earth Horses – Years 1918 and 1978

Earth Horses will work to meet their goals, no matter how long it takes. They’ve got the ability to view situations from all perspectives and this ability is especially useful when it comes to making decisions. They’re very adaptable and they’re funny too.
