Fake Insight

Living in Mexico is not like all the world thinks; Mexican life is a great way of living. The culture of this country is unique and different from all the others. Mexico is good people, is tasteful food, magnificent constructions, catchy music, incredible nature places and the most important Mexico is variety, in individuals, in cultures, in education, in religions, in everything.

I have to admit that Mexico is not perfect. Yes, it has corruption and Drug-traffickers who make that Mexico’s reputation goes down, but I think that every country has the same type of problems and because of that bad people, the society’s thoughts are that this is the most dangerous place that you could ever find in the whole planet. The reality is that you have to care of yourself, but I’m not afraid of living in Monterrey, N.L. I like to live here. I go to malls, to party’s at night, at noon; at every hour of the day really, I hang out with friends, play at parks, walk alone in the streets, and I’m alive. The life here is pretty much normal and I enjoy it, but it is not fare to think that if you put a foot on Mexico you’re going to die, that is not true at all.

I guess that the people try to hide their truth and that’s why they don’t stop criticizing our problems and make them bigger than they really are. I want the people to know that Mexico is like other countries. It has schools; public and private, hotels, cities, fast food restaurants, cars and contamination!  Like everyone else, so the people could now try to imagine us like the other countries and stop the discrimination against us.

This is a beautiful and unique place, where you can enjoy a lot of nature, animals, food, dances, sports and a lot of fun things to do, I think everyone would like this country, but you will not know it if you don’t try it.  

Live now, not tomorrow

After two years of knowing each other, after being so much time together, the most incredible happening was about to take place, one man had something very important to say to the most amazing girl he knew. He walked to her, but in the way he got nervous, so when he arrived to the place where that girl was, the words that came from his mouth were: “let’s get marry”. His name is Rafael Perera and what he said was shocking for the girl, whose name is Eustolia Tirado, not a pretty fancy name, but it is from the woman he loved.

At the first minutes Eustolia thought it was just a joke, but at the time that no one said any word she realized it was really happening. She said yes, (but he was not asking) and ran to find the witnesses for their wedding. Rafael looked for the two witnesses, but he didn’t find his friends, so he searched for two classmates and took them to the Registro Civil. The wedding was going on the same day he proposed, it was not going to be on a church because he don’t believe in religions.

When the time came the only people there was, now, my grandparents, the witnesses of both of them and one sister of my grandmother. With a little group of people and nothing planed they got married. The celebration was humble, with some sandwiches and the ones who were at the wedding.   

He learned that the simples things are the happiest and o appreciate every moment with the ones you love and care for, also to do the things when you can, not to leave them for another day, “live now, not tomorrow”, like he says. 

Across the sea

One day after a very important meeting with the OSP (ocean stability people) I was in charge of the most important mission of all the oceans; capture the beast responsible for the ocean troubles, but, there were more people asking for me, so I decided to ignore the mission for a while.



After a couple of wild parties and little dates, I went to a short trip at the beach. When I was spending my money at the mall, I noticed that my brothers were there too! They were eating in a fancy restaurant, so I ran to speak to them. During our conversation my sister started to talk about the creature that was disturbing the oceans, she didn’t know that I had the capture mission, and then I said “Oh, the ocean creature, ha, mm, well, honestly it’s my fault that the monster is causing troubles”, “How could it be your fault?” she said. I answered-“Well, it’s my fault because a few week ago the OSP gives me a mission and the mission was to capture that beast, and, well, I, I ignore the mission”. She just got angry and I started to walk away, after a few steps, she screams loudly “we will help you in your mission” and everyone stared at us. I told that that if they wanted to come with me its fine, but they got to follow my orders.


We went to search the mysterious disturbing creature at all the oceans possible, but we didn’t find anything. After looking for days, and one day something hit our ship, then we saw a gigantic gray shark laughing at us. We started the hunting, but nothing happens, so I give up. Then the shark said “that was very fun, we got to do this again”, I just said “I’ll like it but the OSP wants me to destroy you, because you’re causing a lot of troubles everywhere and if I don’t show hem any prove of your capture I will never be free enough to play with you”. The shark disappeared, so that was the end of the hunting. Few minutes later, the shark reappeared and said “What if you take a picture faking my capture? Will that be ok for you?” I said “yes that will be perfect!” so, we went to the shore to take the picture and then we played a little more.
