So, since September I havnt bothered to update the blog for many reasons, I havnt really been doing anything of real interest to anyone else. Working, the odd party in Zona Rosa and weekends in Cuernavaca...
Im here in Mexico City, working still for an artist . everything is going fairly well but im on the job hunt again as im not sure if in January I will be working with her for various reasons.
I have been back in DF just over two months and I think I have found my home. I love it, I feel so comfortable here and I have also made some amazing new friends over the past weeks.
Art History seems like a good option if i decide to start school in February here, there is a small university very close to my house and the hours would be perfect.
Halloween this year was great, I decorated the house, carved some very cool Pumpkins and we hae a childrens party for my bosses kids. It was a success. Closely followed by "Day of the Dead"... a mexican Halloween if you will, there were lots of interesting things all around the city to celebrate including Day of the Dead Alters and in Reforma, Fifty Skulls all decorated to celebrate the day. Check out some of the photos below.
There were Skulls decorated with Maiz, Hand Painted, Sprayed and also decorated with material.
(Check out my facebook album for all the photos)
So November rolled on and it was Birthday time, not just for me but for lots of friends here.
The 27th saw "His" birthday (I might go into my heartbreak later on, but its so high school that i might not even bother) . The 28th was mine and what a disaster that was.
I woke up early to find a txt message at 8am saying more or less that Id been dumped... on my birthday, Osea.. HELLO! how cruel can people be! Breakfast was good...great infact. I met Micho in Condesa and we had Carrot Cake and talked about the usual bla bla. After breakfast I went shopping and luckily managed to get TWO, yes TWO amazing little dresses and a beautiful jumper (retail therapy did make me feel better) So right now im sitting in one of the amazing dresses which suprisingly came from C&A... very retro and wonderful... I went for Lunch with the one and only Yami @ Big Red (cheap and wonderful as always) and i had made up with Mr Heartbreak by 2pm so the plan was to meet with him at midnight (sounds like a song ... or maybe im crazy) but as i was dressing in the little red fabric amazement, disaster struck again ( oh how i should have been expecting it) and that was cancelled.
Off i went to the Cinema, with hopes of "him" changing his mind by the end of my movie (but no such luck). So there I am, sitting, gripped by this amazing film, El Pasado for anyone that wants to check it out, film content making me feel slightly sorry for myself and I realise that in the almost empty movie theatre, there is a middle aged man sitting in the row infront of me, staring at me through the seats. At first i didnt pay attention but a few seconds later i realised that this "middle aged man" wasnt wearing pants.. and well, what he was doing i will leave to your imagination. I got up calmly, walked out to tell the security and well i guess the guy scuttled. After being outside a moment i realised what he really happened and fueled with my "bad day" emotions, i just fell to pieces, on the cinema lobby floor i was sobbing for a rather long time.... What a birthday hey !
So Christmas is almost here - I fly out to Guatemala on the 19th of December for a while which should be great. Im half hoping to meet a Tall, Handsome man to sweep me off my feet whilst Im there and make the end of my year a memorable one.
The Christmas lights are up here in the City, everything is sparkling and it looks beautiful.
There is an outdoor ice rink at the Zocalo and i will get there as soon as i can to take some photos - "Bellas sobre Hielo part 1"...
Coyoacan is also looking nice and festive. There was a projection display in the main square, lots of different christmas images projected onto the church... I took a few photos. I was really impressed with how beautiful it was.
