TBT: I don't have a "problem" ... you do

Apparently non photogenic people don't love pictures. I must be photogenic because I love pictures. Anytime anywhere, that's my motto. I truly think I have only said no to a picture once and for the good reason that half of my face was paralyzed. It lasted about 3 months and for those 3 months I wasn't exactly in the best mood for obvious reasons. 

But once my face was back to moving, I was back to my old ways. And yes occasionally, a picture of me is taken that I don't LOVE, but who cares .... It is just a picture. It is not that serious. 

However a few people I will not name hate taking pics. It is literally a nightmare for them. Yet, once they see the pics, they get excited about them and ask if they can have some. That's the moment when I want, but don't, say no. If you are giving me grief every time I stop and take a picture, why should I share them with you? But I still do. Because I think memories are important and should be shared. 


If my grandmother hadn't taken pictures of me as a baby, I would have never been able to see how gorgeous my mother looked like when she was pregnant with me and how happy my father and brothers looked at me the day I was born and especially how weird I was using my feet instead of my hands to hold my toys and play with them. My mom and I still look at those pictures when I come home and it is always a fun moment. 

And now with all my traveling, taking photos and sharing them with my friends and most importantly with my mom and dad, is my way to make them travel with me since I can't fit them all in my carry-on luggage. And it is my way to keep memories forever, memories I will share with my own kids one day or at least my nephew that I adore. 

So everyone get off my back if you think it is annoying that I take too many pictures. It is who I am, and I will not apologize for that or change. I don't have a "problem." I am just a happy person who wants to cherish the happy memories I am making forever and ever and ever - yes just like in fairytales   -:) And TBT is awesome. 


Live, Love, Laugh & Travel ... & take photos

Joshua Tree: the perfect spot to DISCONNECT

Image
Joshua Tree has always been on my list and by always, I mean since last August when I moved to Cali and started mapping out mini adventures in my new home state. So I guess always might be an exaggeration, but I get a little anxious and impatient when it comes to traveling and exploring.  So after cancelling Joshua Tree in November because of an ear infection, and December being crazy busy, I was super hopeful for January. But my hopes were shattered, and Joshua Tree started to become more and more like a dream that would never come true.  Perhaps another person would have thought it wasn’t meant to be - but like i said before, when it comes to traveling, I am pretty tenacious. So finally on the last day of February, with much juggling of my work schedule and some crazy luck, I made it to Joshua Tree and woke up to this beautiful sunrise on the 1st day of March.  The perfect way to start the month, don’t you think?  We entered the park through the West Sid

Trop Bon Trop Con

Image
"Trop bon trop con" is a French expression that means that if you are too nice, people take advantage of you. True or false? Honestly I am not sure but it definitely made me wonder. Since I am old enough to remember, I have usually been nice. The kind of person who changed her plans for family or friends in order to accommodate everyone - with a smile. The kind of person that didn't think twice about spending more money on gifts for others than for herself because truly giving is more rewarding than receiving. But lately it seems I have run out of niceness. If you are wondering if niceness is a real word, it is! I looked it up. In many occasions, I found myself losing patience quicker than usually and not willing to meet anyone half way. My way or the highway kind of theory. And if someone made a mistake, well apologizing doesn't seem to cut it anymore. I wonder if my friends noticed, or if it is all the same for them. I talked to my brother, and he said

Dear Passengers (Part 2)

Image
Every time my boyfriend says he is in finance, people just nod their head. No questions, no WOW, nada! Then I say I am a flight attendant and people get excited.          "That's awesome ..." "Have you been ... like ... everywhere?"  " I have always wanted to be a flight attendant ... "  People are so nice, even impressed, and so respectful of my job. But then they get on a plane and they transform: they don't listen to anything I say, they act up and they seem to think that I make up rules just to annoy them. I promise I don't, none of us flight attendants do, and you don't make the rules either. So whether you think you have the time to go through customs or not, it is not going to change the fact that you are going to go through customs. It is not optional. So just take the form I am handing out. Even if you think you are too pretty for following rules ... And borrow a pen from your neighbor. I know you think I
