“Adiós, adiós, adiós, Borinquen querida…”

Tres semanas y 12 años atrás, tomé mi último examen de ingeniería mecánica y me gradué de la Universidad de Puerto Rico, Recinto Universitario de Mayagüez. A diferencia de muchos no tenía un trabajo fijo y mi internado no resultó en oferta permanente ya que no había cupo. Despues de 9/11 las oportunidades en la […]

Batman: The Killing Joke (2016 Movie)

DC has proven once more that they are catering to the comic book reading masses by delivering an animated movie that is not only true to the graphic novel of the same name but also expands on the great work done by DC animation. This is not your parents’ Batman, and after a few tweaks […]

A Strong Woman Doesn’t Need To Be Handled

“I can handle a strong woman.” That’s the hardest statement to dissect as a female because it implies that strong women must be handled. Handled by definition means to manage, feel or manipulate with the hands. An assertive, focused and driven individual is not something you want to manage or manipulate with the hands. In […]

My Beef With The Facebook Newsfeed 

You’d think the pretentious stories about how husbands are perfect and how precious people’s children are would be the reason why I have a beef with my Facebook’s newsfeed but this isn’t the reason I created this post. My beef with the newsfeed is that the algorithm decides for you in what order you will […]

Between Two Vines: A Weekend Wine Tasting and Pokémon Hunting in Walla Walla, WA

The Washington State AVA (viticultural region appelation) is full of all types of grape, terrain and care. Red Mountain has a more acidic terrain, and the Columbia Valley has grapes up to Wazzu, literally. (WSU) If you want to taste them all, you will need a few weeks to navigate the entire Yakima Valley and […]

Home Sweet Home: Moving On Up Part Deux

About 6 weeks ago, if not a bit more, I posted that we were moving to a brand new house. Even though time has gone by the construction work has crawled which is understandable since structural inspections and corrections are no easy task. Based on what my realtor has dug up there have been no […]

Ghostbusters (2016)

The new Ghostbusters movie is a reimagining of the original 1984 title that featured Dan Aykroyd (Ray Stantz), Bill Murray (Peter Venkman), Harold Ramis (Dr. Egon Spengler) and Ernie Hudson (Winston Zeddemore). The problem was that instead of men the new cast is composed of women. *Gasp* Backlash aside, people thought that the movie had […]

10 Things I Hate About Being Married

I’m happy. Yes, blissfully happy with a partner in crime that has allowed me to grow and experience life as an adult. Mistakes are allowed and forgiven but not forgotten for learning purposes. There are many things that I have gone through as a modern working wife that gave me enough insight to write this […]

When I First Moved to the USA…

When I was 23, a big engineering firm hired me to design their products, processes and tools in their PNW facilities. At the time I was fresh out of college and had lived all my life in one place, a city of about a million people in a tropical paradise. My US Citizen status, awarded […]

You Can’t Love Someone That Doesn’t Want to Be Loved, Part II

A few musings ago I posted a poem with the same title as this article and although it captures most of what I feel, there is something to be said about the subject of unrequited love. It is not unreasonable to argue that in most cases, from divorce to suicide pacts, the end of a […]
