In Country Mode

source

Guys, I like Country Music. For some people country might be annoying and perhaps cheesy, 

but I think it's because they haven't given that genre a chance. 

Recently, I compiled many of my favorite country songs into one CD 

so that I can listen to it when I'm in Peru and remember Texas. I have lost count on 

the number of times I've listened to this cd in my car already. 

I'm telling you, it's genious! haha, joking, but you might actually like it! 

If you're already a country fan, then I am almost sure you'll like my little compilation 

(as I have old and new)! 

If you don't like country, then I think you should click below and listen to 

some of the songs; maybe start with number two... such cool beat.
(note: # 14 is hilarous--he's talking about his Willie Nelson CD FYI, #3 is sad but beautiful)

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! And enjoy your Memorial Day :)

Apologies & 2 Pictures

Dear Enjoyers,

I have to apologize once again for not writing as often as I used to. In only three months I will be traveling and there is sooo much stuff I need to take care of before leaving. I am going to be writing about it eventually. Today I actually wanted to tell you about an old friend from college, but I am here in my room trying to organize some things and I even have to go wash some dishes because I don't want my mom to see them in the morning! So, instead of hurrying and writing my post rushed, I thought I'd share with you two pictures that I sold within the last 5 days on Etsy (how exciting!!!):

This picture was taken with my Canon 30D here in Texas. 

I really love railroad tracks, so I 

was pretty excited to find this elevated one.

This picture was taken with my little Nikon CoolPix in Vienna, Austria. 

Three years ago (May 22nd) I was in that beautiful city. 

Wow, time passes by so faaaast. 

Anyway, I'm glad two people found them pretty 

and decided to support my little shop :)

I will come back to tell you the other story! :)

Haha

This is just a short post (the longer one I'm saving for later because I need a few images).

Don't you just love those pictures that you take on accident while trying

to figure out camera settings?

This is one of me, the day I went to 'One Night of Queen' 

and posed with a mustache. 

My friend named it 'The Evil Mexican Midget"

 My hair is so light in there, that it looks as if I was wearing a blonde wig

My nose just looks too funny. Oh well

Fabulous Fridays: Mothers

source

Thought: Today I want to dedicate this post to my mom as well as all

the other wonderful mothers of this world (the ones with us

and the ones watching over us).  This weekend it's their day.

I can't believe they only have one a year... there 

should be more Mother holidays, don't you think?

My brothers and I are going to give her a card and

some other little things (she reads this, so shhh).

But today I want to dedicate two songs to her and

show you a few wonderful quotes I found. 

Mothers are special, everyone. Tell her how much you love her,

kiss her, hug her, go with her somewhere special. Sometimes

we take time for granted, and then later regret not spending

enough time with her. So do it! and not just for her special day, but 

everytime you can. 

Two songs I dedicate to my mom:

Thank You For Loving Me  - Bon Jovi

[...Thank you for loving me 

For being my eyes 

When I couldn't see 

For parting my lips 

When I couldn't breathe 

Thank you for loving me 

You pick me up when I fall down 

You ring the bell before they count me out 

If I was drowning you would part the sea 

And risk your own life to rescue me...] 

You Are So Beautiful - Joe Cocker

[...You are so beautiful to me

Such joy and happiness you bring 

Such joy and happiness you bring 

Like a dream 

A guiding light that shines in the night 

Heavens gift to me 

You are so beautiful to me...]

Quotes: M is for the million things she gives me

O means only that she's soft to hold

T for the things she tries to teach me

H is for her heart of purest gold

E for her eyes with love light shining

R means right and right she'll always be

Put them all together they spell Mother,

A word that means the world to me

Mothers hold their children's hands for a short while, but their hearts forever.  ~Author Unknown

Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible.  ~Marion C. Garretty, quoted in A Little Spoonful of Chicken Soup for the Mother's Soul

God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers.  ~Jewish Proverb

My mom is a neverending song in my heart of comfort, happiness, and being.  I may sometimes forget the words but I always remember the tune.  ~Graycie Harmon

For those of you who may not have your mama here anymore,

remember that she will always be in your heart, and from wherever 

she is, I'm sure she continues to love you and care for you in a 

way the only mothers can.  The love they give is so strong, that no

physical change could ever take it away. God bless them <3

ACP Contest

Hello everyone! How have you been? It's been a few days since I last 

wrote here, I know :( I hope everyone's days have been great. 

Mine have been a little busy as I now have a 

weekend job too. But here I am, dedicating some time to my blog today.

So, last month I entered this contest held by the Austin Center for Photography

(website here) called "Two."

The interpretation of this theme was up to us; we could submit a maximum of 5 images.

I wonder if they already saw mine, I wonder what they thought of them,

I wonder how many chances of winning I have. We'll see!

In the meantime, I wanted to share with you the 5 pictures I submitted.

  I hope you were able to see the theme 'two' in each of them :D
