Fried Rice! :D

What most Puerto Ricans call chinese rice is actually called fried rice.  This type of rice can be procured easily.  Fist, one must cook medium sized rice in water with oil and slat.  After this, one must employ various ingredients that will add peculiar flavors to the rice.   These can be lettuce, green or red peppers, shrimp, ham, among others.  After this, soy sauce has to be added to the rice in order to add color and taste to this type of rice.  This is according to the person that is cooking so it can be a superfluous or a minuscule amount.  Though this is a very tasty rice, it is not the original fried rice that people eat in China, it  is only a Puerto Rican version of this rice.

Music...

For some, music is a distraction; for others it's entertainment; but for me, music is inspiration.  Whenever I plug-in my earphones, I delve into a my own world where my imagination can run free.  Music helps me ponder about my work, concentrate on what I'm doing, and thus complete my work auspiciously.  Sincerely, I can't imagine a world in which music is not present.  This would be a world devoid of creativity and imagination.  It is futile to deny the importance of the fanfare of instruments creating a beautiful melody that I relish so much.  What I am trying to express through this is that I cherish music with all of my heart and I believe that my life would not be the same without it.

Love?... or Obsession?

There is a fine line between love and obsession.  Love is characterized by putting that person before anything else.  The opposite can be said about obsession, in this case the person puts his or her feelings above the feelings of his or her object of obsession.  Also, in the case of love, we normally take into consideration that a person feels compassion and affection toward the person he or she loves; but in the case of obsession, that person feels only desire and thus expresses themselves in an impertinent way.  This will ultimately make an obsessive person become abstruse and develop a sullen personality.  These two aspects are very similar though.  When we talk about love or obsession, we take into account how a person thinks or feels about another person.  If I can confer anything through this entry is that we should avert obsession and embrace love for it is an endued quality that any person can have.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction...

Our world is a fragile one; because of this, we have to be very careful when we dispose of the garbage that we accumulate.  There is no excuse for the negligence of littering.  This may have colossal repercussions on our environment, and thus may affect us in a negative way.  Pollution has the capacity to destroy many ecosystems that hold important organisms.  These creatures may be essential in the food chains of the environment to which they belong.  If these organisms die, others may be affected inside of this bionetwork.  In the end, these events will reach us.  This is not inevitable; we can incite our society into being more cautious about their decisions about the environment.  This way, we will be able to mitigate the likelihood of these occurrences and stimulate the improvement of our environment.

A conversation with grandfather... :$

My grandfather was a very special person in my life.  I saw him almost every day when I was in tenth and eleventh grade since he lived close to my school.  Recently, he left us due to old age and it was very hard for all of my family.  I wish I had one more opportunity to talk with him and tell him how much he meant to me.

Grandpa:  Hello, how are you?

Me:  I'm fine.. I just miss you a lot.  How have you been lately?

Grandpa:  I've been fine, watching over you.

Me:  You have?  Why?

Grandpa:  Because you are very special to me, and I love you.  I've also been watching over your aunts, uncles, and cousins.  You are all very special to me and I just want to make sure you all are all right.

Me:  I love you too!  You have no idea  how hard it has been to pass right in front of your house almost every day and not be able to visit you.  It has been very hard... on all of us.  We have all felt an immense sense of loneliness.

Grandpa:  Don't be sad because I left, be happy because I was with you and was able to spend time with you.

Me:  I know, it's still inevitable feeling like this when you lose someone important to you.

Grandpa:  You haven't lost me completely.  If you really loved me, a part of me would stay in your heart.   This way, I will always be with you, helping you, and watching over you.

Me: Like a guardian angel?

Grandpa:  Yes, exactly like that.  I will always be with you, and I will try my hardest to keep you and  your family safe.

Me:  You know, I never really told you this, but you are very important for me and I love you very much.  I may not have always shown that I love you, but I did... and still do.

Grandpa:  I know you do.

Me: Still... I thought you should hear it from me.

Grandpa:  You didn't have to say it.  When you spend time with me, it is evident that I am special to you, just like it is obvious that you are very special to me.

Me: I love you grandpa!

Grandpa:  I love you too.  Now I should leave, but remember, I am always close to you and I will always be watching over you.

Me: Bye!  I love you!
