The Choice by Julia H.

This is just EXACTLY what I want for my life... The mother I want to become.

The Choice - by Julia

For I hope that I will always choose to not let the chance pass me by. 

• I hope that someday when I have the choice, I will choose to kiss your spaghetti-covered face instead of waiting until it is washed. 
• I hope that someday when I have the choice, I will choose to hold your hand instead of the camera. 
• I hope that someday when I have the choice, I will choose to rock you to sleep instead of sending you back to bed alone. 
• I hope that someday when I have the choice, I will choose to play dress-up with you instead of working on my ‘To-Do List’. 
• I hope that someday when I have the choice, I will choose to treasure the moment instead of wishing for better timing. 
• I hope that someday when I have the choice, I will choose to smile at your painting instead of frowning at the stain on your shirt . 
• I hope that someday when I have the choice, I will choose to read your favorite book for the 100th time instead of insisting we pick out a different one. 
• I hope that someday when I have the choice, I will choose to give you ‘now’ instead of promising ‘later’. 
• I hope that someday when I have the choice, I will choose to be your best friend instead of just being ‘the mom’. 
• I hope that someday when I have the choice, I will choose to listen to you instead of talking myself. 
• I hope that someday when I have the choice, I will choose to say “I love you” instead of giving unneeded lectures. 
• I hope that someday when I have the choice, I will choose to help you face obstacles instead of allowing you to be daunted by them. 
• I hope that someday when I have the choice, I will choose to build unshakable bridges between us instead of impregnable walls. 
• I hope that someday when I have the choice, I will choose to tell you “I’m glad I chose you.” instead of leaving you to wonder. 

—Julia H.

I'm here

Well, hello there! 


After weeks of silence I finally can sit and write :) I can't say that I haven't missed it, but is just that I really didn't want to blog without pictures this time... and since my camera is broken and I don't have any, well, you do the math. 

Life

Is busier than ever but really REALLY fun and uplifting. Loving my "university years", loving my classmates (that I can call FRIENDS) and basically just loving my life as it is right now. I've had problems with a couple of things here and there but there's absolutely nothing in this life that God, faith in him, prayer and time cannot fix, and I think that's one of the reasons I haven't blogged in a long time. So, here I go, with numbers :)

1. Friends.

I love my girlies :) we were at the top of the city there, one of

the most beautiful sunsets I've seen in my entire life.

The bestie :)

Normal, normal!

Cheeks :)

Braiding my hair in class, yup.

2. Photography :)

I just LOVE this picture of me, my friend Patty took it.

My best friend :)

Yeah, you know what they say.

My eye. Duh.

Exposure time exercise :)

3. Nail art.

I've been so hooked up to nail art this past couple of weeks. So far, I've done the newspaper art:

Water Marble kind

This are not my nails, but its how they looked like :)

Rainbow nails:

At one my favorite coffee shops, reading.

5. PINTEREST!

I'm totally into it and I just really... aaahh.. I don't know. If you have a pinterest account, you can found me HERE and if you don't have a pinterest account, I highly encourage you to. Is so healthy for your creativity and it's like a getaway from reality.. haa! I love it. Yeah, can you tell?

6. "El Barco"

Last but not least... I'm SO, SO, SO, SOOOO hooked up with "El Barco", it's a Spanish t.v. series. It's about the "end of the world" as the boat "Estrella Polar" is out in the wide seas. Between love stories, tragedies and awesome stories, you are officially obsessed with this. And also, I'm in love with him:

Could he be any more handsome, cuter and drop dead gorgeous? I tell you, if you don't "like him" at first sight, well... you should just see his movies and this series I'm telling you about. Then, if you don't fall for him, I don't know you anymore.. jk! but he's too much!

To watch the whole first season (and the first 5 chapters of the second season) you can go HERE, please, enjoy!

And that's it for today folks! see you in a while!
