V-Day

Noe asked me to do something about my absence
and clean the dust that the blog has been accumulating due to its lack of use.

My apologies. 
The thing is that in a short period of time,
I've been forced to generate
a decent amount of new ideas for other projects
and all in all, my brain feels squeezed.

In light of V-Day: Valentines' Day,
I will be traditional and feed that sentimental and romantic side
that exits in all of us,
and share a few words from F. Scott Fitzgerald,
who always keeps me wondering:

"I'm not sentimental - I'm as romantic as you are.
The idea, you know, is that the sentimental person thinks
things will last - the romantic person has a desperate confidence that they won't."

I will also feed that revolutionary and nonconformist side
that also exists in all of us,
and talk about a different meaning of the V-Day
(Victory, Valentine and Vagina Day).
Yes, you read correctly: V a g i n a.

You can read more about this V-Day in its web site
but basically, 
it is a global activist movement to end violence against women and girls.

On Feb. 14th, 2012, they launched a major campaign to raise awareness on the issue:
ONE BILLION RISING.

The campaign ends TODAY.

TODAY, women and men all over the world are celebrating
and adding a new meaning to the V-Day
and are raising their voices and their hands to end gender-based violence worldwide.

Experience LIVE the rising worldwide in: http://onebillionrising.org/

It's definitely an inspiring way to celebrate V-day.

Love
brings pain
but also happiness.

Let's not close our hearts to it.

Un beso,

ME
