new old family

This Sunday I'll be flying to AZ. to be with my mom. It's been 2 years since I've been there, since I've visited my family. I'm excited.

Today I finally finished all the paperwork I had to turn in for school. Plus, something surprising happened. My dad's aunt called to get in contact with him. It incredible because she's the last one left out of all my grandfather's family. She's my grandfather's baby sister. It's crazy because that would be the first time and only possibility of having a glimpse of the older generation on my father's family. I never got to meet my grandparent because they were dead way before I was ever even thought of.

What's even more crazy is that I supposedly have met her before. My dad told me he took me to his family when I was about 8 years old, but I do not remember a thing. Nothing. It's as if something happened in my life and I wasn't there. It kinda really bothers me that I cannot remember.

I told my dad I wanted to meet her, this time with me being actually present, but he's going over to her house until Monday. I won't be there, but I hope I can meet her soon. And her son and daughter...maybe even her grandchildren! Crazy how families grow and grow and one kinda looses touch and contact with them. It really goes to show that we all are brothers and sisters, we're all family no matter what.

life fly on by

It's incredible how much life changes from 1 year to another, or better yet, how much one can change as a human being. I've changed. I've grown. Even it sucks, it is quite true that suffering makes one grow.

I've been back in the States for some time now. I came back in June. I miss my life in Florence and the friends I made. It amazes me how one can sometimes plan and plan things in one's life but in the end things will inevitably go the way they are supposed to. The hardest part is finding one's way.

I am almost 22 years old now and I seem more lost than ever.

I've had a constant struggle in my life with decision making. However, once I make a decision and put it in my heart, it will stay there. Some say you only get 1 life and you can't live it in a constant stay on "carefulness" because it will pass you by. That may be true, but i still can't let myself not be careful with the things I do. I have seen first hand what happens when you take things too lightly. One bad decision can have a huge impact in your future life and wellbeing. I don't know. I guess I'm scared. I would really dread not being/becoming a person for my family to feel proud of or worth respecting.

It has almost been 17 months since Michael's passing and I'm still in mourning.

This won't change. Not unless Michael receives justice. As long as his murder is gone unpunished and the people who did him so wrong will alive and still after his death are still controlling things we don't get the serenity or peace to start mourning and start moving to the next step. They say the first step of mourning is anger and we still haven't moved passed that because there's still so much f_en injustice in all of this!

All this MESS just has me in an emotional state so 'all over the place' that I can' concentrate half the time. And all the while I'm in search for myself. I am in search for something that will give me peace. 17 months and I still cry at random times during the day! I cry myself to sleep sometimes.

This had never happened to me before. i sometimes feel guilty because I've had people in my family, people I have memories with, people I actually met, that have died...one was murdered, and I still did not go through this.

In times like this I'm almost glad I don't live with my mom because I couldn't bare to see her in the eye and confess such things, since those family members are from her side of the family. My mother was very affected by their passing and yet I am affected by a person I didn't even meet.

I wouldn't want my mother to see me in such random emotional states.

I guess my time away from home, my time in Italy helped me in that department. Because even tough the first months were the toughest and i spent them here, I swallowed my pain until dark came. Nighttime was my time to allow myself to cry my heart out. In Italy however I was a little more free, especially since I had Ashley with me. She understood better than anybody what I was going through. I can't imagine what she must have felt like to be at the memorial. At first she was somewhat guarded, but I saw and felt her pain after watching TII.

Sometimes I wish I had a place where I could go and just let go, yell out my pain and frustration let it all out! Maybe I'm still not healing because I still have so much pain and anger in me and after 17 months of let it out little by little, I can only conclude I have a lot more in me.

Every week when we go under a bridge, when I look up at the sky and see the stars or a shooting star or any opportunity I get to make a wish I find myself asking for the same thing: justice and for the truth to me know.

a couple of days to go

So in a couple of days I'll be in Italy. I still cannot find myself excited about it. I'm still saddend by the physical passing of Michael but I know that is not the reason for my unexcitment. I still need to finish packing and putting everything together.
Today I went to Tj to get a haircut. I really needed it. My hair was way too long and in 9 months I know it is going to grow a lot, so I have no worries about that. I'll call my mom and my siblings in a few minutes, because I won't be able to call them as often as I would like to over there.
See what happens...

The Ultimate Astrology Personality Analysis: Pisces

Pisces: The Upside
There’s a persistent rumor among astrologers that you can always spot a Pisces by their crossed legs, even if they’re standing. Like many clichés, this one has a grain of truth in it. Perhaps this is because Pisces' symbol, two fish tied by an invisible cord as they swim in opposite directions, is being expressed.

This may account for some of the duality seen within the Pisces personality as well. Intuitive, spiritual and always there with a kind smile; these are the Pisces characteristics we know and love best. Not only are compassionate Pisces great friends, but because of their strong musical and artistic talents, they make for some fantastic dinner companions! Moreover, like the symbolic dual fish, Pisces is very adept at “feeling” the under currents in the air, and then acting appropriately.

The Downside
It’s those very same undercurrents, Pisces, that can be your undoing. Pisces can sometimes swim in deep, murky waters, a trait that they often internalize. It’s rare to see a Pisces complain; they usually hold their conflict in until it overtakes them. And while it’s very true that Pisces can count kindness as one of their greatest assets, when the going gets rough, their desire to escape becomes prevalent.

Neptune, your guardian ruler, rules all forms of escapism; sleeping pills, narcotics and alcohol all fall under this planet's domain. Steer clear of the pull of escapism, while embracing your inner truths, and you’ll be quite successful in life.

The Week of the Loner

You live in a private world all your own. Your home is a retreat from the world, where you admit very few. You tend to isolate yourself more then what is good for you. You have a distinct dislike for superficiality; you mistrust loud, aggressive or pushy people and find it hard to work with people who lack sensitivity. Grace, honesty and an unassailable aesthetic and moral code prevent you from acting underhandedly or particularly hurtful. You have elegance and grace in all that you do, you are a great admirer of sensuous beauty, particularly in people and paintings and you give your home a special touch. You have a strong soulful side and have empathy for all forms of human suffering. You see a distinct difference between being lonely (which you rarely are) and being alone (which you are often) You can become addicted easily to drugs, drink, sex. You crave peak experiences. You ask only to be accepted as you really are. You have few friends that you are close and loyal to. You can be snagged by a pretty face, sensuous voice or alluring body. Once attached to someone it becomes an addiction and when you decide to be free of your love object you experience powerful separation anxiety. Strengths: Soulful – Intimate – Graceful Weaknesses: Reclusive – Disappointed – Suffering .

the passing time

It's difficult so sense the undeniable passing of time, of life. It goes by and you either get on the train or watch it pass without ever realizing what you've missed; and in the case you realize it, it's more than likely too late. Time moves forward, never back. That is a lesson difficult to conseptualize by of extreme necessity if one wants to be a fulfilled happy person.

I've realized that time sometimes passes painfully slow and other times it flies ... with a little more than a month to go, I am not sure what I actually feel about it all.

Can You Feel It - The Jacksons

Privacy

Ain’t the pictures enough, why do you go through so much
To get the story you need, so you can bury me
You’ve got the people confused, you tell the stories you choose
You try to get me to lose the man I really am

You keep on stalking me, invading my privacy
won’t you just let me be
‘cause you cameras can’t control, the minds of those who know
That you’ll even sell your soul just to get a story sold

[CHORUS]
I need my privacy, I need my privacy
So paparazzi, get away from me

Some of you still wonder why, one of my friends had to die
To get a message across, that yet you haven’t heard
My friend was chased and confused, like many others I knew
But on that cold winter night, my pride was snatched away

Now she get no second chance, she just ridiculed and harassed
Please tell my why
No there’s a lesson to learn, respect’s not given, it’s earned
Stop maliciously attacking my integrity

[CHORUS]

Now there’s a lesson to learn, stories are twisted and turned
Stop maliciously attacking my integrity

[CHORUS x 3]

me ha hecho llorar

me ha hecho llorar porque se que dice la verdad. me ha hecho sentir un nudo en la garganta y un golpe en el estomago, porque empiezo a dudar yo. no quiero dudar, quiero confiar. me ha hecho llorar porque tengo miedo que sea verdad. no quiero que sea verdad. quiero que todo sea un malentendido, una causa del destino. una causa de "papeleos" y tramites. no quiero que termine. no quiero que se de por vencido. lo quiero conmigo.

aqui...

I never would have guessed that I would be quoting "Eric Foreman" from my loved tv sitcom, "That 70's Show", but he was right.

"Life is like a train, and guess what, it's gonna hit you...so you can either start running when it's way off in the distance or you can sit down, crack open a beer...and watch it come."

I'm looking into all the paperwork I have to get done before I can even think on setting foot in Florence.
It's a lot! There's a lot to do still, and almost no time left...I have a lot of paperwork due this upcoming 15th!

I am having trouble sleeping and it may be because of that, I don't know, but I want to get everything done; I want to go. Even though I think the possibility of actually going hasn't hit me yet. I don't know, maybe because I generally do get all excited about things and sometimes it just doesn't happen and I'm left terribly sad. I certainly don't want that to happen this time, especially because it means so much to me. So much for my future and for my 'upbringing'.

looking for my future

I'm looking into my career. Good time isn't it? I can't really find a lot of specific jobs, but there is one that is becomimg somewhat of a dream job. Working in and for the United Nations, I think, would be fantastic. There are a lot of fields within it.
The thing is though, I was looking into translation or interpretation, something in that area of expertise. Turns out that there are 6 official languages and one is not Italian. Total bummer!
The six languages are:
-Chinese
-English
-Arabic
-French
-Russian
-Spanish
AND you have to know at least 3. I guess it's not that bad, but I wanted to use my Italian. I already want to learn French and well Spanish and English I already have down, obviously. Still, I want a job where I can actually use my beloved Italian language. We'll see I guess. Time will say.

Hace unos dias me agarré comprando musica y peliculas en iTunes y entre ellas está esta maravillosa canción. Y hay que agradecer a Genius xD

Segno zodiacale: PESCI

Amore

Nel 2009, la ben nota fantasia di voi dei Pesci vi permettera' di soddisfare in maniera piuttosto facile i vostri desideri sentimentali. Il romanticismo tipico del vostro segno avra' la meglio, in questo periodo in cui molti si sentono in crisi e hanno bisogno di ideali tanto altisonanti quanto reali per ritrovare la propria stabilita'. Gia' nel mese di Gennaio, grazie alla presenza di Venere nel vostro segno, risulterete parecchio appetibili. A Marzo e ad Aprile, poi, grazie a Marte, avrete molto piu' polso del solito e, se c'e' qualcuno che vi piace molto, saprete come farlo vostro. L'Estate, invece, potrebbe essere un po' dispersiva. Vi piaceranno molte persone e, scegli scegli, e' possibile che, alla fine, non combiniate nulla con nessuno. Ottimi invece il rientro dalle vacanze e la parte finale dell'anno. Nell'ambiente di lavoro potreste scoprire che qualcuno nutre una certa simpatia nei vostri confronti!

Salute e bellezza

Certi imprevisti che, lo scorso anno, derivavano dalla presenza di Plutone in un segno per voi difficile, lasceranno, quest'anno, spazio a uno stato di forma piu' uniforme e generalmente positivo. Come comprensibile, quest'ottimo stato di forma si rispecchiera' in un aspetto eccellente, che verra' notato da tutte le persone che hanno a che fare con voi. Nel periodo Estivo, dovrete tuttavia stare attenti a non sudare troppo in posti ventilati. Potreste avere problemi ai bronchi, se non fate un po' di cautela. Settembre e Ottobre saranno, viceversa, due mesi fantastici, in cui potrete tranquillamente rimettervi in sesto dopo i bagordi alimentari dell'Estate con un po' di moto, o iscrivendovi direttamente in una palestra!

Lavoro

Lo scorso anno e' stato connotato dall'antipatica presenza di Saturno in opposizione al vostro segno. Per fortuna, il 2009 presenta un nuovo transito del temibile astro e vi permette di esprimere le vostre potenzialita' appieno, come non potevate da mesi. Cio' avverra' a fine Ottobre. Tuttavia, gia' prima di quel momento ci sara' l'occasione di fare bene e di mettersi in evidenza con chi giudica il vostro operato sul lavoro oppure a scuola. Da Marzo a Luglio, le ottime posizioni alternate di Marte e Mercurio vi permetteranno di svolgere al meglio i vostri compiti. D'Estate, invece, sara' bene prendersi una lunga vacanza, perche' gli astri in quadratura disperdono le vostre energie e i risultati del vostro lavoro!

Denaro

La fervente immaginazione di voi esponenti dei Pesci viene raramente ritenuta utile, da un punto di vista economico. Nel 2009, potrete sfatare questo mito! Con Plutone finalmente positivo, ci sara' la possibilita' d'ingegnarsi in piccole scommesse e investimenti che, gia' prima della fine dell'anno, daranno frutti tanto inaspettati quanto interessanti. Urano permane nel vostro segno e vi da' la possibilita' di capire quali sono i campi nei quali investire per realizzare qualche guadagno, oppure quali potrebbero essere le scommesse da intraprendere. Ottimo sara' anche il periodo immediatamente successivo alle vacanze Estive. Il vostro intuito sara' sopraffino e vi impedira' di farvi sfuggire occasioni di spese che vi renderanno soddisfatti e contenti per lungo tempo!

making mistakes? a little

Superdonne? Superuomini? Non esistono!
Voglio diventare reale..voglio diventare chi sa fare cose da sola...voglio diventare chi può essere fiera di se stessa.
Everybody talks like they know, not realizing they know nothing at all. A pitty really. We would like to know everything and not make any mistakes or be proven wrong, but every minute, every second...time passes and keeps proving we are just a 2 year-old walking and trying to play in a big man's world. The big bad world.
I'm not...I like to be right, who doesn't? But I don't mind the mistakes...not anymore...
at a time, I fought my mistakes and beated myself, but in truth, when I look back at them..at my story, I am grateful. I can look back and say: "I made mistakes yes, but I survived and learned" and that's the best thing one can say. Because at the end of the day, all you have is your experiences. The tracks, the footsteps reminding us where we walk one and what we walked upon. We won't take anything, contraty to what the ancient Egyptian may have thought, once we die. All we can possibly take is the peace of mind and peace of heart. Knowing you were of importance to someone else. That you didn't live your life bluntly.
All I can say is; "I walked this earth, I made mistakes and am expecting more...the mistakes I've made carved the person and human being I am today and what I will be tomorrow"

Better Man - James Morrison

There was a time
I had nothing to give
I needed shelter from the storm i was in
And when it all got too heavy
You carried my weight
And i want to hold you
And i want to say

That you are all that i need
For you, I give my soul to keep
You see me, love me
Just the way i am
For you i am a better man
I said you are the reason
For everything i do
I'd be lost, so lost without you

Under the stars
At the edge of the sea
There's no one around
No one but you and me
We'd talk for hours
As time drifts away
I could stay here forver
And hold you this way

Coz you are all that i need
For you, I give my soul to keep
You see me, love me
Just the way i am
For you i am a better man
I said you are the reason
For everything i do
I'd be lost, so lost without you

prigrina

Estos dias han sido de pereza total! Extraño a mi Toshi =(
desde que esta enfermita, como que nomas no...me habia acostumbrado a ella, porque me gusta escuchar la radio por internet, sobre todo porque puedo escuchar las diferentes radios de Italia, España y asi. Pero bueno, tendré que esperarme hasta el siguiente año para mandarla a arreglar o mandarsela al señor ese que me arregla las compus :P.
Hoy mi papá fue a Tj, y le pedí una revista en la que sale TzN y le dije clarito como se llama y quien sale en la portada y mando a la discipula 1 a comprarla y le dijo mal la informacion! Me trajo otra revista que nada que ver!
Tengo ganas de terminar de leer un libro que me compre en el aereopuerto del DF pero nomas no lo termino por x cosa. Mas que nada y sobretodo por estar en la computadora xD.
Estoy enfadada, como que no siento el espiritu navideño. Bueno no es que sea una tradicion muy familiar para mi; familia? ci vuole di più...
Nunca me he sentido en familia aqui...no siento que sea mi gente; mi gente es mi madre, hermana, hermanos y mi sobrino, y para eso necesito ir a Phoenix. Espero irme en estos dias...necesito hablar con mi mamá.
La unica que siempre me ha apoyado en mis locuras xD Sobretodo mis locuras Tizianescas, aunque me diga otras tantas (que se que son verdad...)

ci vuole tanto e ci vuole poco, ma ci vuole sempre...

insoma

Farei anche a meno della nostalgia che da lontano torna per portarmi via...

Primera vez que termino mi lectura (aunq si hize un poquito de trampa :D) de German Studies XDD. Pero hey! algo es algo..por lo menos no estaré atrasada esta vez ^.^

En realidad hay un libro que tenemos que leer, que por cierto me gusta mucho, se me hace muy interesante. Trata de la vida de un muchacho de desendencia Africana viviendo y creciendo en la epoca de Alemania Nazista. "Destined to Witness - Growing up black in Nazi Germany" de Hans J. Massaquoi.

Wer A Sagt Muss auch B Sagen
(he who says A must say B)

Ahora faltan algunas cosas pero esperemos que todo se de. Por lo pronto el lunes tendré que ir, aunque si no lo había planeado, tengo que ir para entregar un ensayo...

insoma...speriamo il meglio. :)

lazy stress

Oh god! I've been really lazy today! XD
Well not reaaaally ... I did my laundry and I cooked (chicken crostina) :D ...blah it was alright, not like it'll be my favorite dish or anything but, hey I tried :P. I am enjoying music again! Last week, I was listening to my music (as I always do) but there was something missing. Sort of a special kind of magic some songs can give me. I love it when they can transport me into other worlds; when music makes you fly and gives you a natural high. That's the best kind of music, definitely.
Such a bummer, it all sometimes gets lost in translations. It shouldn't be like that, music shouldn't have boundaries.
Anyway, this week isn't going to be so different from last week if anything it'll probably be a little more stressing because I have to make sure I turn in everything due for this upcoming week and for the next (since I'm not going to school).
Seems sort of incredible still. It sort of seems and feels like something is going to stop me from achieving my plans. Maybe that's why I hold myself back from enjoying and fully throwing my excitement out into the world. I may seem pretty sure when I tell my friends that I making this trip and that I'll be missing school, but there's just something inside that doesn't let me savor it.
Oh please God, let me have a little peace and let me keep a little faith.

Alla Mia Età =ringraziamenti=

Ho lasciato il mio cuore in cima ad una montagna troppo alta e distante da qui per riuscire a trovarlo ora.
E' questo il destino di chi preosegue a camminare disilluso e ferito senza fermarsi, anche quando una vera destinazione non si rivela, non esiste, non c'è.
E' questa la vita dei pellegrini emozionali che sorridono alla propria condanna: sereni, consapevoli ed esperti nel convertire i propri dolori in virtù.
E' questa la storia di chi sa vedere il bello in ogni persona ma per paura e sensibilità estrema non vuole osservarlo mai.
Siamo noi a trovare nei ricordi inestimabili tesori e nei sogni i loro unici eredi.
Ho perduto il cuore lì, su quella montagna ed ora sono troppo stanco per andare a cercarlo, ora voglio solo aspettare che un sorriso...mi dia la mia salvezza.

Questa è per chi non ha paura di sentirsi solo.
Questa è per chi si è sentito almeno una volta inutile pur vivendo eternamente nella premura.
Questa è per chi non dimentica pur non conoscendo il rancore.
Questa è per chi non sente né il bisogno di attaccare né la necessità di difendersi.
Questa è per chi trova disgnità nel sentirsi fragile.
Questa è per chi capisce quanto un silenzio sappia raccontare e quanto un silenzio sappia accudire.
Questa è per chi sa farmi ridere.
Questa è per chi si concede una sosta dai concetti e i preconcetti e da valore alla prima "seconda impressione".
Questa è per chi porta dietro sé il peso di un dolore irrisolvibile.
Questa è di chi la vuol sentirla sua.
Questa, una volta tanto, è per me e per chi sa piangere... ancora alla mia età.
Tiziano

Grazie a tutti i ragazzi e le ragazze che mi sostengono tramite il Fan club, che fanno la fila per entrare ad un concerto, che davvero capiranno quello che dico in questo disco e che ogni tanto inseriranno questo cd dentro un lettore per sentirsi meno soli... o più compresi. Ci siamo capiti. Grazie, vi voglio bene.
L'ultimo grazie, il più importante, va alla città in cui sono nato e che da sempre mi concede l'onore del vero abbraccio di casa: grazie Latina.

So che avrò dimenticato qualcuno ma non è successo a proposito:
eventuali lamentele saranno ben accette!
:-)

=Romero Family Crest=

Origins Available: Italian, Spanish

Where did the Spanish Romero family come from? What is the Spanish coat of arms/family crest? When did the Romero family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the history of the family name?

From the historical and enchanting region of Spain emerged a multitude of noble families, including the distinguished Romero family. Originally, the Spanish people were known only by a single name. The process by which hereditary surnames were adopted in Spain is extremely interesting. Surnames evolved during the Middle Ages when people began to assume an extra name to avoid confusion and to further identify themselves. Often they adopted names that were derived from nicknames. Nickname surnames were derived from an eke-name, or added name. They usually reflected the physical characteristics or attributes of the first person that used the name. The name Romero is a nickname type of surname for a Roman or an Italian. The name was originally derived from the Latin word Romaeus and the Greek word Romaios, which mean Roman.

Spelling variations of this family name include: Romero, Romera, Romeros, Romeu and others.

First found in Aragon, one of the medieval Christian kingdoms of northern Spain.

Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: Among the early explorers of the New World was Juan Romero, who accompanied Pedro de Valdivia on his expedition to Chile in 1540. Also of note was another Juan Romero, who voyaged to Paraguay and Argentina in the mid sixteenth century. He was twice Governor of Buenos Aires. Other early migrants to the New World were Alonso Romero, who sailed to New Spain in 1534.

Killing me softly...with his song

Strumming my pain with his fingers

Singing my life with his words

Killing me softly with his song

Killing me softly with his song

Telling my whole life, with his words

Killing me softly with his song

I heard he sang a good song

I heard he had a style

And so I came to see him and listen for a while

And there he was this young boy

A stranger to my eyes

Strumming my pain with his fingers

Singing my life with his words

Killing me softly with his song

Killing me softly with his song

Telling my whole life, with his words

Killing me softly with his song

I felt all flushed with fever

Embarrassed by the crowd

I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud

I prayed that he would finish

But he just kept right on

Strumming my pain with his fingers

Singing my life with his words

Killing me softly with his song

Killing me softly with his song

Telling my whole life, with his words

Killing me softly with his song

He sang as if he knew me

In all my dark despair

And then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there

And he just kept on singing

Singing clear and strong

Strumming my pain with his fingers

Singing my life with his words

Killing me softly with his song

Killing me softly with his song

Telling my whole life, with his words

Killing me softly with his song

BASTA!

I spent so many nights wetting my pillow. I'm not about to do it again.

Not for the same reason anyway...

He has spent his nights alone and with a hole in his soul. I'm not about to let you do it again.

Not for a reason at all...

A fault is a fault and each has it's cost, when it's paid..it should be done with.

Tears clean my spirit but my heart remains broken.

Why oh why can't the page be turned? The book of life awaits...

Why should we persistently talk about the same episode.

My life is great, my love is pure...may we all cry the tears we know we should...

for the ugly and the unsure

for the beauty and certainty of a tomorrow

I will be here I know he will too
