Los finales se acabaron! Sobreviví mi primer semestre de Maestría en Biotecnología. Bueno... es el principio pero estoy contenta de que comenzé y terminé con buenas notas. Muchisimas gracias por su paciencias y su apoyo. Y ahora... a dibujar se ha dicho!

It was as if the dream was waiting for me, if that's even possible. I came back to my island on July 15 after being in the States with my friends. The dream started foggy then I was in the house. It was not white, but it had really light colors. And there was a lot of murmurs and noise. When I started walking around I realize the layout of the house is familiar, then I understand it resembled my grandmother's house. Her house was where we all gathered, this has been like this since I was a kid, so it's always a comfortable place to be. I go on and finally find people. My grandma is checking the preparations because we are going to have visitors, she says, and the house needs to be ready. I see my mom helping paint a wall and a gate and I see my 4 years-old niece watching and giving her opinions, which is funny and adorable at the same time. I see some of my cousins and my aunts going from one side to the other moving stuff and I just stare.

Somehow, I know this is a dream. I feel relieved inside as this all goes on because...if this is what heavens is like...I like it. I am sure grandma would be pleased as well. There are so many views and opinions we all may have of what heaven would be like...but most of them are just too flashy for my brain to comprehend. But this...a daily basic thing...it makes me happy. Makes me believe more.

I am not sure if this is true, if dreams can tell you about someone, or if people who are not here anymore may communicate by ways of dreams before they part...but to me, it was, and it allows me rest and peace.

Thanks for reading, and for your support.

Fue como si ya me estuviera esperando, si eso es posible. Regresé a la isla el 15 de julio de estar vacacionando en los Estados Unidos con mis amigas. El sueño comenzó borroso pero después estaba en una casa. No era blanca, pero los colores eran claros. Había mucho murmullo y ruido. Comenzé a caminar y me dí cuenta que la estructura era familiar, entonces me percaté que se parecia a la casa de mi abuela. Su casa era el centro de reunión, ha sido así desde que era niña así que es un lugar recomfortante para mí. Continuó y encuentro gente. Mi abuela esta supervisando las preparaciones porque vamos a tener visitas, dice, y la casa necesita estar lista. Veo a mi madre ayudando a pintar una pared y un portón. También veo a mi sobrina de 4 años vigilando y dando sus opiniones, lo que es gracioso y adorable al mismo tiempo. Veo a mis primos, primas y mis tias caminando de lado a lado moviendo cosas y yo solo observo.

De alguna manera, se que esto es un sueño. Me siento aliviada por dentro porque si el cielo es así...me gusta. Estoy segura que a mi abuela también. Hay tantas opiniones de como será el cielo...pero muchas de ellas son tan llamativas que mi cerebro no las puede comprender. Sin embargo, algo tan cotidiano y básico...me hace feliz. Me hace creer más.

No sé si esto es verdad, si los sueños nos pueden informar sobre personas, o si las personas que ya no estan en este mundo se pueden comunicar mediante sueños antes de partir...pero para mí fue real, y me da paz y tranquilidad.

Gracias por leer, y gracias por su apoyo.

This is a new month, and hopefully it would bring new, awesome things. Last month wasn't that good. My pregnant sister was hospitalized because she had H1N1 and my grandmother was also in the hospital. My sister is fine now but my grandma, well, apparently it was her time.

Thankfully things at work had been uneventful and my family has been strong and calm during the whole situation. I'm glad for it.

I had planned to go to Pennsylvania during this month, and I am still going, so I hope to have a great time with my friends. It's been a while since I last saw them :3

As always, thank for your support and comments. They help, a lot.
Have a nice day! ♥
