A plane leaves every day 321/366 #project366 #november #2016 Today I was almost mugged by a "motorista" when I got to my friend's building. I was walking towards the entrance when this guy on a bike approached me from behind and told me "don't move". I ignored him and continued walking and shouted "guard, open the door, this guy wants to rob me" while the guy was still telling me to stop. The guard acted quickly and opened the door, the thief stared at me while still on his bike and left. I knew it was bound to happen soon, criminality has risen scarily in my country these past few years, alongside with corruption and poverty. I just never thought I would react this way. I'm sure I'm alive because dad protected me from up there. When things like this happen, all I can think of is leaving the country in search of new horizons, but then I think about my family and friends and how I'm not about to let my beautiful island sink in the hands of these antisocial individuals, so I'm gonna stay and fight for a better tomorrow. I'm still trembling, though.

A treat #fmsphotoaday #fms_treat I'm not much of a sweets person, but give me something salty or something fried and you'll see a smile on my face. This is a great treat for me!

All good things 320/366 #project366 #november #2016 Having my aunts over was wonderful, even if it was only for a few days. I hope they come back often and enjoy their "pajama parties" like they did this week. You are missed already!

Toy #fmsphotoaday #fms_toy #november #2016 A toy mocking real life. Local cops can't ever find the bad guys, even is they're under their noses (or on their roofs)

Freedom #fmsphotoaday #fms_freedom #november #2016 Freedom is something I gained on November 10, 2014 and lost on May 28, 2016. Freedom is a fleeting moment. You can see it like a reflection of a cloud in a puddle on a broken curb on a random street. Freedom comes and goes like the hours in a day.

Las Córdova Antón 318/366 #project366 #november #2016 Las hijas de Antonio y Julia Eugenia, nativas de Arenoso del Yuna y ciudadanas del mundo. Tía Milita vino a pasarse unos días con mami ya que no pudo venir cuando papi falleció y tía Loly también aprovechó para pasarse unos días aquí. Han reído, han llorado, han cantado, han hecho cuentos de su niñez, han chismeado, se han acostado de madrugada hablando hasta de botánica. Ha sido bueno ver a mami sonriendo en estos días y excelente haberlas tenido con nosotras. Espero que esto se repita más a menudo.

Wild thoughts 317/366 #project366 #november #2016 Sometimes I get this urge of giving everything up, running away and starting from scratch someplace else where I'm completely unknown, maybe even joining a circus. Perhaps I could become a sad clown or one of those girls who stand still while having knives thrown at her. One can only dream...

Horizon #fmsphotoaday #fms_horizon #november #2016 I was out of the city today and it was raining all day long. Coming back home mom wanted to buy some sweet potatoes but I thought we weren't going to be able to due to the rain. When we were close to Villa Altagracia (where you can buy sweet potatoes from vendors right next to the highway) the sky suddenly cleared up just enough for us to buy them and for me to see the horizon, complete with moon and everything.

Home sweet home #fmsphotoaday #fms_homesweethome #november #2016 Home is where your heart is, and mine has been on the same coordinates ever since I was born. Well, my heart is in two places now, here and where dad's ashes rest. I haven't been spending much time at MY home since I've been keeping mom company after dad passed away, but considering that we live in the same building, coordinates haven't changed, just the height.

Election night 313/366 #project366 #november #2016 I don't live there, I don't vote there but living in a third world country which considers itself as "South of Florida" their politics do affect us. I'm going to bed with Trump leading, hopefully when I wake up the tables will have turned, at least for the sake of the world.

Made me smile #fmsphotoaday #fms_mademesmile #november #2016 These past few weeks have not been good for my assistant. First her car got burglarized while parked at her house and then she fell victim of a phishing scam. I know it's not a funny matter, but her solution to one of her rear view mirrors being stolen was to use a hand mirror while she finds a replacement, and that made me smile today. Now, if she had only done what I did to Vickiana's rear view mirrors... #onlyinthedr

Guess who didn't have to get out of bed to turn this light on? 310/366 #project366 #november #2016 ¡Etaquetaaqui! Yep, me. I just grabbed my cellphone, opened the app, touched the screen and voila! Light lit! God willing, Chez Bracuta's will be as intelligent as it possibly can be (as intelligent as an apartment with one dog and 5 kittens is allowed to be). ¡Ay Dios mío, qué deuda! 😆

Ine o'clock #fmsphotoaday #fms_oneoclock #november #2016 A couple of weeks ago Vickiana blew out one of her front speakers. I dunno you, but the first thing I turn on after I turn over the engine is the radio, I can't imagine driving around without music blasting thru the speakers. Since the weekend before last I was complicated and the last one I was out of the city, today one of my errands was to change it. One o'clock caught me over Decocarro Omar waiting for Manuel to change both front speakers.

Best gift E-V-E-R! 309/366 #project366 #november #2016 Well my nephew @josehermidap his wife @renaseravalle and her aunt (dunno if tía Ale has an account here) decided it was time for me to jump into the future and got me this starter kit for Chez Bracuta's home automation. I've been reading, planning, adding to the already tight budget and looking for ways to expand and use, gotten nervous while opening the boxes, gotten afraid of plugging in and scared of using, but I finally did and WHOA!!! Thank you guys for my awesome gift!!! Now, start referring some clients this way because tía Eny needs to get herself some more lightbulbs and switches and sensors and outlets and Google Home and (the list keeps growing by the second)...

And today my godson turned 4 308/366 #project366 #november #2016 4 years ago I was over at Bahía de las Águilas getting severely sunburnt while my friend was in the city giving birth to my godson. I wasn't there when he came into this world, so I've spent the last 4 years making up for it. As usual, the writing on the cake (and other parts of the cake itself) didn't survive his wondering fingers, but you gotta love him still. 😊

Happy 100,000 kms, Vickiana! 302/366 #project366 #october #2016 Good thing I noticed today we were that close while filling up the tank before the trip. It only took us 3,356 days, but we did it. The best part of it all? We achieved this milestone in the best way possible: on the highway. (Don't worry, I didn't take my hands off the steering wheel nor my eyes off the highway 😊)

My country #fmsphotoaday #fms_mycountry #october #2016 This is my country, the Dominican Republic. A blessed island in the Caribbean, with the most beautiful beaches and mountains, green valleys and never ending rivers, situated right in the middle of the path of the sun. Where people smile no matter what and are always happy and eager to lend a helping hand. The land of merengue, birthplace of famous baseball players, the most beautiful land eyes have ever seen. The Dominican Republic has it all.
