What do you usually do in your free time? How do you spend it? Are you that kind of person who likes to do absolutely nothing or can't you even turn your "button" off?!
I love spending time doing something very relaxing, like sleeping, chatting, or just navegating on the web without any purpose... lol
However, I feel like I'm wasting my time, as if time was worth more than just relaxing, as if it was worth money or other valuable thing. To see myself free from this feeling of uselessness, I found a solution for it: now, I spend time with the Lord. Don't you think I'm getting nuts!
It's really good indeed to spend some time with God. Just you and Him. You can read the Word, meditate, think about your own life, and analize your acts, seeking for improvement.
It only works with those who want to succeed in life, that is, it works if you are the type of person that wants to be your best in everything you do.
"Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled." (Mt, 5:6)
By this way, you can become a better person to yourself, to your beloved ones, and to the society. You get better for the world. And it needs you so badly!
Well, that's it! This was what I found as a solution for when I have some spare time, and don't want to waste it. I can relax too. God cheers me up, so I hope you can find this gladness as well!

My space
Do you like to be alone?
If I had to answer this question, I would say that it depends on many factors.
When I travel or do something fun, I love being among people, specially friends. If I need to go to somewhere, as an appointment, or to pay a bill, or go shopping, for example, I prefer to be in company. However, sometimes we just need some space, some privacy, and a couple of hours to recover ourselves from our busy life, and think about everything, or even do not think about anything. I like to stay home by myself, so I am free to do whatever I want without worrying about what to wear, what to say, or what to do. When I do it, I like to listen to my favorit songs, wear some very comfortable clothes, eat the things that I love to eat, like chocolate, and spend time doing nothing... It is so good!

Home Sweet Home
When I was teenager, I used to think that it was really boring to live in my home town, specially because it is such a small and quiet town. In contrast, now I miss that place so much!
I miss that "nothing-to-do" kind of place, with my friends living all around me, with all my family, my house, my comfortable room, my dog, my mom's food!
I live well here: I have a nice room, I work for a good family, I can eat anything I want, but I miss to be in a place that I can tell that is mine, where I really feel at home.
It is amazing to have the opportunity to travel abroad, to meet people and new places, to learn a new culture and a new language, but as Dorothy from the Wizar of Oz says, "there is no place like home."

Hawai'i
One of the most beautiful places I have ever been is Hawaii. The views and landscapes are simply amazing!!!
The water is so blue, so blue... it is transparent, and I could even see the dolphins and whale from a boat. When I went snorkling, I could see and swim by the sea turtles and many kinds of colorful fish, and that was a unique moment. I will always keep it in my mind.
The big island, Honolulu, is pretty cool, and you can find various activities to do there, during the day or at night. I went walking to Diamod Head, and when I finished the tiring climb, the prize was the beautiful view from the top of the mountain. At night, I walked around the blocks downtown, I saw the shops and restaurants, and I went to a Luau.
The "hula-hula" dance is very nice to be watched; they do a smooth movement, and each one of them has a different meaning, such as "sea", "waves," "sun," "fish," "sky," and etc.
I loved my trip to Hawaii, and I hope I can go back there some day!

What do you want to be when you grow up?
I never knew exactly what I wanted to be when I grew up.
I already thought about being a gymnast, an astronomer, an actress, a teacher, a business woman, and many other professions...
Now that I am a "grown up," I am still not sure about what I am going to be, that is, which field I am going to follow. I know that I like things within humanities, I love dealing with people, and I love English. So what can I do or be? Well, I'll keep studying and I'm directing myself to be an English teacher. Let's see if it works!
I admire those people who know what they want to be since they were a child. It is fascinating when you have a big dream to become something in the future, and I also used to have one (it has to do with theater). Nowadays I don't know if this dream is still alive, or if it has the same intensity, but the possibility of coming true is really small, but not impossible. I wanna wait and watch what future holds for me.

thought_full
Do you know those days in which you stop and think about life? yeah... today is one of them for me. I asked my self: Why am I here? What have I been born for? What is my gift? However, it doesn't matter the answer of those questions, I just would like to be and to do something else for the world, and not to be only "one more", if you know what I mean...
Maybe the best way to deal with these situations is to let God to lead ourselves and see whas He's got for us... I believe He knows what is the best for us, better than my own self.
Well, I'm just thoughtful today, as I said before...
enjoy your week, your good times, and your life! ;)

Colors
If you could choose to be a color, which color would you be?
Colors say a lot about our mood, our state of mind, and our personality too. You can guess something about a person by just looking at the colors that he or she is wearing.
I think I do not have a specific favorite color because I always change my favorite one depending on my mood. For example, if I am very happy I prefer to wear colorful clothes, but if I am without any inspiration, I just wear black; it is easier. If I am looking for decoration for my room, I prefer light colors, like pink and light blue because they transmit calm.
When you go to an interview for a job, they usually observe the colors you are wearing and judge your behavior. Light colors transmit lack of self-confidence, and dark colors transmit the opposite.
There are some colors that together get our attention better than others, like the combination yellow-blue-red gets kids' attention. Advertisers use this technique to make products' packages and commercials, and they study each kind of public they intend to reach to know which color is the best to catch their eyes.
So, colors are more than different tones that we see, but they are signs that transmit information about a person or thing. If I had to choose to be one color, I don't know which I'd be, but maybe I would choose to be a rainbow!
