Siempre = Always

SIEMPRE
de Pablo Neruda

Antes de mi
no tengo celos.

Ven con un hombre
a la espalda,
ven con cien hombres en tu cabellera,
ven con mil hombres entre tu pecho y tus pies,
ven como un rio

lleno de ahogados
que encuentra el mar furioso,
la espuma eterna, el tiempo!

Traelos todos
adonde yo te espero:
siempre estaremos solos,
siempre estaremos tu y yo
solos sobre la tierra
para comenzar la vida!



ALWAYS

I am not jealous
of what came before me.

Come with a man
on your shoulders,
come with a hundred men in your hair,
come with a thousand men between your breasts and your feet,
come like a river
full of drowned men
which flows down to the wild sea,
to the eternal surf, to Time!

Bring them all
to where I am waiting for you;
we shall always be alone,
we shall always be you and I
alone on earth
to start our life!

Looking forward to a groovy weekend!

While we're on the subject of Disney channel movies...

Finally, after six long years since Kuzco rocked my animated world, Disney Channel Asia is premiering tomorrow night a new cartoon series called The Emperor's New School. That will be more of Kuzcotopia and Yzmania for me. Yey! :-p

The Channel's marking the event with a Kuzco marathon (Emperor's New Groove, Emperor's New School, Kronk's New Groove). Therefore my friends, my weekend is solved. Oh, yeah. So solved. Hehehe ;-p

[I'm a certified Disney addict, in case you STILL didn't get the picture]

Like a doormat for diversions

Remarkably, my diversions to alleviate stress turned out to be a combination of an overdose of Disney channel movies, and a quarter-pack of Spanish lessons.

Yes it's trivial. But I must say that these have afforded me instantaneous cure. I would liken the sensation to platelets rushing steadily to rehabilitate a laceration ripping out in progress. For a temporary antidote, these diversions happened right on time, just as the doormat was about to be delivered to the sickbay.

Diversions -- or simply put, distractions -- offered me temporary relief. Memorizing lines from Disney movies by heart while looking forward to speaking conversational Spanish in three months' time have become my culture for the past couple of weeks. In a way, it's therapeutic. Really.

Am I making sense here?! Creo que si..
