By: Gabriela Yareliz We’ve all had our thoughts as we watch the matches. All of our thoughts are seeped in biases and hopes. Below is the song Univision plays at every halftime and at the end of the matches. It is the soundtrack to this post. Why not? Casillas (Spain Goalkeeper), we love you. WeContinue reading “Thoughts From Group Matches (So Far)”

As heard on “Lessons We Can Learn From Royalty” by Ravi Zacharias
“If men could learn from history, what lessons it might teach us. But passion and party blind our eyes, and the light which experience gives us is a lantern on the stern, which shines only on the waves behind us.” Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The Puerto Rican Dream
By: Gabriela Yareliz It was early morning, and the sun hadn’t infiltrated the land in shadows below the midtown skyscrapers. Forty-second street to forty-ninth street was barricaded for no entry. I was passing Lord & Taylor, when I decided I would go in to use the restroom (the things that happen when you juice inContinue reading “The Puerto Rican Dream”
Late Spring Picks, 2014
My anthem. Life is about knowing your purpose and not giving up as you walk in the direction of your dreams. Hello dear readers, It’s summer in New York! The tree pollen today almost killed me, but all is well. Or should I say, “Alll izzz well”? It has been so long. I know. IContinue reading “Late Spring Picks, 2014”
Love’s Telepathy, Thrice
By: Gabriela Yareliz Love is a lot of things. We can go down a list that resembles 1 Corinthians 13 or a wedding vow.

And while it’s all those things and more, it’s interesting to think of howContinue reading “Love’s Telepathy, Thrice”

When I fell in love with William
By: Gabriela Yareliz People leave different things behind after they die. Some leave furniture and clothes; some leave heartache; some leave a life of service; some leave money; some leave anger. After a life of service and love, I think one of the greatest things a person can leave behind are words– words that inspire;Continue reading “When I fell in love with William”
West Village Girl; living in her Greenwich Village world
THIS POST HAS A SOUNDTRACK.

#Neighbors
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s funny how when you live in an apartment building, you know your neighbors. I am not talking about full conversations and dinner parties (although, some may be that lucky)… I guess it would be more accurate to say that you know about your neighbors. There’s the neighbor who you believe neverContinue reading “#Neighbors”

Humor absurdo, asi que, que disfruten! 1] Un clip de la peli de Pedro Almodovar: Los Amores Pasajeros– y como es deContinue reading “Peliculas Españolas”
