Ayer tuve la oportunidad de sacar un rato para disfrutar el cine local. Ya hace unas semanas están hablando sobre la película "Antes que cante el gallo" escrita por Kisha Tikina Burgos y dirigida por Arí Maniel Cruz. Seguramente ya han leído montones de reseñas y esta sea otra más, pero aquí va. Empezaré por recalcar que entiendo que las…
Yo me imagino que ya todos los Boricuas saben como se siente esta pendejá. Un rush cabrón de adrenalina mezclado con el corazón hinchado de patria y un poquito de sexy porque hay que admitir que la Mónica está linda. Entonces de repente te das cuenta que acaba de ganar al menos plata. Ya es medallista. Es como un episodio de…
Dear Mr. President: As you've signed PROMESA, I propose a more democratic fiscal control board. I won't beat around the bush and will go straight to it. (BTW, I write this in English so nothing gets lost in translation.) Puerto Rico isn't very happy about this law. I think a lot of people understand there is need for spending control,…
As some of you might know, I'm very fond of nature. In particular, I really like mushrooms. I think they look like tiny fairy umbrellas. This morning, nature blessed me with these that I share now with you.(All pics by me.) May you all have a Splendid Sunday!

Dear Readers: It's been an intense year, both good and bad. All the electronics managed to break down or suffer "unexpected" accidents, however, the writing is flourishing, the kids are happy, and the family garden blooms. I am happy... I expect great things in 2014 for all! That said I'm starting off the New Year with a brand new blog.…

A mí me encantan las buenas noticias. ¿A ti no? ¿No te dan unas cosquillitas que llevan una sonrisa a tu rostro y te hacen sentir bien? Digo, por algo son buenas, ¿no? Entonces, ¿por qué no se ven más? En Puerto Rico la prensa se dedica a reportar las malas noticias. La primera plana, por lo general incluye las…
This is the path that veers away from road 187.
Piñones is a small treasure of possibilities. From natural seawater pools, surfing spots, chinchorros with traditional fried foods like alcapurrias and bacalaítos, to fishing, fruit frappes and a pretty cool and ecologically diverse bike route. All this, only minutes from San Juan. From The Baldorioty de Castro Expressway or from Ave. Isla Verde, take road 187 to Piñones. The path…
