Must visit in Houston: Biscuit Paint Wall

May 11, 2015

You can't really say you've lived in Houston if you haven't snapped at least a few pics in front of the infamous Biscuit Paint Wall. A clever marketing ploy by the houseware store (at least I think that's what they sell) Biscuit Home, they've truly capitalized on this generation's obsession with new and interesting selfie backdrops, and even have #BISCUITPAINTWALL boldly printed on an awning over the door to complement subsequent social media posts. Now that I mention it, I think we forgot to take a selfie. #Dangit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vivir en Houston sin sacar un par de fotos en frente del Biscuit Paint Wall es como vivir en Paris y no sacar un par de fotos con la torre eifel. Uffff. Mentira. Exageración total. Pero ustedes me entienden. Nada tontos, los dueños de la tienda a la que le pertenece la pared se aprovecharon de nuestra obsesión por encontrar fondos para nuestras selfies cada vez más interesantes. Incluso el toldo sobre la puerta tiene en letras mayúsculas #BISCUITPAINTWALL. Ahora que lo pienso, se nos olvidó por completo sacarnos una selfie. Ahí será para la próxima.

Birthday musings

January 22, 2015

Yes, a birthday is just another day but it's also a marker. A milestone. A checkpoint. An excuse to pause and reflect, check your status, analyze your progress. It's easy to look around at people your age and think that they are happier, wiser and more successful than you. That they are "on the right track", they've got it "figured out". But the problem lies in the comparison. We should only compare ourselves to two people: the person we were, and the person we want to become. So today I sit and ponder these questions:What kind of a person am I? Am I learning, growing, appreciating a little more every day? Am I loving and giving, or selfish and disagreeable? Am I working on my temper? Am I a person of action, rather than reaction? Am I a person of integrity? Would baby Holly be proud of me? These questions aren't rhetorical, but I am still working through the answers. It's a work in progress, my friends.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sí, un cumpleaños es simplemente un día mas, pero también es un marcador. Un hito. Una excusa para hacer una pausa y reflexionar, revisar mi estado, analizar mi progreso. Es muy fácil mirar a la gente de mi edad que está a mi alrededor y pensar que son más felices, más sabios y más exitosos que yo. Que están "en el camino correcto",  o "en donde deben estar". Pero el problema radica en la comparación. Sólo debemos compararnos con dos personas: la persona que éramos, y la persona que queremos llegar a ser. Así que hoy paro y reflexiono sobre estas preguntas: ¿Qué clase de persona soy? ¿Estoy aprendiendo, creciendo, apreciando un poco más cada día? ¿Soy una persona amable y dadivosa, o egoísta y desagradable? ¿Estoy trabajando en mi temperamento? ¿Soy una persona de acción o reacción? ¿Soy una persona de integridad? ¿Hollycita bebé estaría orgullosa de mi? Estas preguntas no son retóricas, pero sigo trabajando en las respuestas. Ahí la llevamos, amigos.
