Yaoi o antiyaoi, esa es la cuestión...[2]
Aug. 31st, 2005 04:56 pmI wanted to begin this in Spanish, but I think I better do it in English, I can translate it later on. Anyways, I've been delaying this for so long now, and I think it's time to do it.

Jul. 28th, 2005 11:42 amI'm trying to finish a story I began in Spanish. I guess my talks with Aury always led me to write in Spanish and feel inspired. Also, after talking to Au yesterday, I've come with a new idea for a new story. Anyways, it'll have to wait 'till September at least. I'm not working on fan fiction during August and I need to leave a couple of things ready before I re take it.
1. I've got to finish "Escorpio" this weekend. Reason? Want to concentrate on English.
2. I've got to finish reviewing "Encounter" and type the rest of the story; since it's most of it finisehd and I have to make a "fine" ending...if that's possible.
3. I've got to finish "Eyes". Need to work more on the places description and since I suck at it...well...I'll try anyway.
4. Finish working on "Hate". I've got to admit it. This story has taken a totally new perspective. It's a writing very dear to my heart; but for some sort of personal reasons, this love I have for it is increasing.
I've got like three days or so for doing much of this.
Have been working on my site. Not that I've done much, really; but well...I'm trying to do a couple of things on my own. *faints*
Don't wanna rant no more...there's stuff waiting for me.

May. 20th, 2005 09:53 amI don't even know why I'm writing this here today. *sigh* Last Monday, one of my students called me an 'antipatriotic'. I couldn't have laughed more...or felt more offended. The thing is, she's learning English and calls me that because I teach English. puff....Dunno how I could hold myself back and not hit her.
It got me thinking, I remember a while ago, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
cygny asked about prejudices, specifically aghainst Belgians. It got me thinkling at that time, and it does again.
Well world, guess what?! I'm Colombian!!!! and from Medellín. Ohh yes, Pablo Escobar lived and died here, so did the Cartel. Yes, it was my city the one in March's issue of the National Geographic Magazine, in which many horrible things were said about my country. It is people like me, who's always stopped in the airports because we're allegedely charged with drugs....and so on and on and on...it's an everlasting list.
*sigh....again*
It's so easy to judge. Maybe that's why I don't judge people. I hate to be the one on trial. I hate to be the foreigner. Some months ago, a friend from Chile was telling me about how horrible it was to live in my country with all the terrorism and stuff. People have no idea what it was like to live in Colombia 'till say 10 years ago. Things are different now.´
There are a lot of good people still living in this country.
Some people, rant against those who say bad things of us, Colombians. I don't give a damn. I know my country. I know the people around me. I can see the good in them. If the rest of the world can't...well...what a pity. You're missing incredible people, incredible places...bad things do happen, but my country is not the only one with problems, where the most well known, which is different.
I guess that's why it pissed me off to be called antipatriotic. I love my country. Very. But it doesn't mean I can't like other stuff, like English. Even Naty has called me names beacuse of English.
Why don't you just get to a language schooo, learn what you haven't wanted to learn and stop talking about what you don't know. You're so frustrated because others can do what you can't, that you don't even pay attention to what is said.
If being antipatriotic is loving languages, then I'm guilty at charge.
I better stop here....
