Dear God, Are we there yet?

Que lo Que!! Imagine waking up in the middle of the night to chaos, like movie real no lights, water and straight crazy. An invasion of something of the unknown. I know I sound like a sci-fi film and the Dominicans are already shouting Y que la vaina.. but seriously imagine if for weeks, even months there are no resources easily accessible. You know I never like to talk about politics and I share my reasoning on this episode but how does everyone really feel about the “ “government shutdown” Is this a diversion or a trailer for what could be coming? Are we ready to go back to the 1800? Will is happen? Is this all rubbish? I mean we are talking about a nuclear electromagnetic pulse which like a firework of not pretty colors and entertainment but a freaking burst of electromagnetic radiation created by a nuclear explosion. ( jaw drops eye widens) which equals electronic systems to produce damaging current and voltage surge which equals again, dique un doomsday. Grab that Cafecito and I want to hear what you think because I am still learning about this and you can see I don’t know all the facts but I am definitely putting the puzzles pieces together. I see you Mr. Dique President

Dominican Spanish Translation
Que lo Que- What is What ( totally different from what’s up …wink, trust me)
Y que la vaina- and what of all this crap
Dique- so- called used in a sentence “so called conspiracy theory:

Too Deep or Too Surface? What would you do if you knew the date of your death? How would your relationships with your family and friends be affected? Would you start a bucket list? Enroll in yoga? Eat more donuts and ice cream?Do you think it would raise your self-awareness about the value of each moment or would it lead you into depression or panic? Oye Primos: none of us know when this day will come and having anxiety over it doesn’t help anyone. But just because we don’t know when that day will come doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t set aside time to  think about it. The past couple of weeks have left me numb loosing someone very special to me and it made me think about some things. Pour some cafecito and cut a piece of dulce de leche and let's talk.

Dear God, It's 2019; now what? Well this week we are still on vacation.. I know primas y primos but you see your prima has had a rough two weeks and just needed to some time to regroup, but guess what!! 2019 is going to be FAVALOUS so stay posted because quiet means I am brewing up some nice cafecito on the low!! See you next week..

Dear God Happy Holidays!!

Oye we all know Youtube ratings for kids is the all time high. Kids are Hilarious!!! I should have said that in caps... Listen Linda Listen, better yet Cha-arleeeie bit my Finga...Children are always innocent and brimming with wonder. That is why asking them silly questions can be quite fun and insightful. Sometimes, their answers make actual sense. But many times, their answers are irresistibly funny and amusing.Next time you come across a kid, ask questions! You’ve got nothing to lose. You might even stumble upon some meaningful responses and ideas. Also, asking questions is a great way to break the ice to those kids who gove you the stare down and are super serious. I needed a laugh so I know you will too! Primos Y Primas introducing to my precious niece...

No, No, No, No, No  it means all the same in every language.

Rejection for everyone is so different, but the feeling inside can burn like scotch bonnet  peppers on some Jamaican brown stew fish!! ( can you tell I am hungry; you know what I mean ) But how about if we could learn from them ? How about if there is a deeper meaning for them and we just cant see it. No one likes rejection. I mean who wants to put themselves in a vulnerable position only to be slapped down. But I’ve found that if you truly want something in life, whatever it may be, rejection just comes with the package. Look primo and primas its Necessary!!! This one might be a hard pill to swallow but if you focus on doing what is easy, life will be hard. If you focus on doing what is hard, your life will become easy because you challenged yourself. Rejection is a very hard thing to deal with because it takes a direct hit to our egos and who we think we are that we would rather avoid it then face it head on. But it is only in that moment that we face the uncomfortable moment of rejection that we are freed from its limitations and can move forward with a little less fear and a little more courage. No se pero you tell me, Sip that cafecito slowly and tell me what you think.

Primos y Primas !! Every heard this saying? "

You cannot know what silence is if there was no noise. So the noise is essential for silence to know itself.

ya tu sabe!! I mean the noise I am talking about is not the grocery list or what to get Tio for christmas. It's the noise that alters your perception and can be confused with the powerful word we all hear called fear. However we all know fear isn't even real it's a great word that Marketing pros have monetized in every self help book including mine( so no I am not judging I have a different take). Now if you say emotions, those right there can scare the living platanos out of you no matter what the situation may be. I would love to hear your thoughts about todays show, I could totally be wrong and that's ok so go ahead and shed some light. Pass the cafecito and turn it up and enjoy.

 

Wake up primos y primas times are changing. Who can you trust? How can you tell whether someone who borrows money from you will pay it back? or better yet how about if you forget to say hello, please and thank you, Who will be judging you? This is crazy, have you heard about Chinas new Social System score. So the government came up with its own equivalent: it will score peoples' trustworthiness using not just court and bank records, but also data from the online shopping companies and basically how you "act" Lordy, if this comes to America my Dominican people will be voluntarily deporting themselves back to DR. I have something to say about it and want to share with you but don't sleep on it because our dique "America the great" is Made in China anyways. Stay tuned and let me go find me a hacker BFF. Oye charlie donde estas...Tag your smartest IT friend...

Why are we so darn afraid to talk to someone when our junk catches up with us? There is a full mouth answer to that and you’re NOT alone! The decision to begin anything that has to do with speaking your feelings can be hard but listen up “ talking to a professional sometimes helps gets us out of our head and the monologue we’ve been telling our self past down from generation to generation.People think needing therapy makes them “crazy,” while others fear the potential embarrassmentof telling their innermost thoughts to a stranger. ( latinos like to say “ don’t be telling people your business to dice a therapist, talk to your mom she’s a great therapist hahaha YIKES!right?!” haha) But guess what prima and primos these thoughts are normal—particularly for those struggling with depression, anxiety, or other mental health challenges—and many who later start therapy reveal their initial fears about the process were overblown and exaggerated. Yup the fear hype wasn’t even real!! Que? Que? So get that cafecito and tune in with an awesome Daniel @thecitypsychotherapy an awesome therapist based in NYC . Pass the azucar and enjoy the show!

This is not a rant about history, rasicism and blah blah blah. Just an inquisitive mind and question on my recent trip from Italy wondering about BC and AD and my ancestors. I take a detailed look through the sistine chapel and have so many questions about religion, facts etc and once again my ancestry.  Didn't God create everyone but why didn't Mr. Michelangelo paint them? Ok maybe after squinting I saw some dude fair skin with big lips, maybe he's one of us and they ran out of brown paint. I don't know about you but when I travel to other countries I wonder about these things. Please tell me what you think and if you're a history buff please put me in check with some knowledge. As for now I'll sip my cafe con leche research away.
