El pasillo 281/366 #project366 #october #spanglish Extraño verte en el pasillo donde usualmente te encontraba cuando llegaba a la casa. Extraño "pelear" contigo porque no prendías la luz para atravesarlo. Extraño tu sonrisa y tu "¿qué hay?" cuando te encontraba saliendo de allí. Extraño el sonido de tus pasos mientras iba detrás de tí. Te extraño todo, papi.
Instructions followed, Mr. Walters 280/366 #project366 #october #2016 #tbt Back in the dark ages, when there was no internet or iPhones and homework was done by hand, it was hard to find books in English in the Dominican Republic. Well, technically, it was hard to find quality stuff here. Whenever we traveled we went shopping for EVERYTHING, and when I say everything I mean it (my parents used to bring me bags of Mc Donald's cheeseburgers and Doritos from the US). Back in 7th grade (1986), when we started being taught by "high school teachers", our English/Grammar/Literature teacher, Mr. Jacobo Walters, requested we buy "The American Heritage Dictionary" if and when we traveled to the US, and if we didn't travel then we had to ask someone to buy it for us. There was no valid excuse for not getting it. This was our first and most important assignment. Our lives depended on it. No ifs, ands or buts, no Merriam Webster, we HAD to get IT, the Second College Edition. So my parents complied and soon enough I had my dictionary with me. Mr. Walters told us we had to keep it safe, take care of it as if our lives depended on it. I guess I took his "advice" too literally because 30 years later the dictionary is still in excellent shape and holds a privileged place in my bookshelf. See, Mr. Walters, I do know how to follow instructions!

White #fmsphotoaday #fms_white #october #2016 Well, thanks to Hurricane Matthew my nephew's weekend homework turned into a several day homework. Blanquita the rabbit is people friendly and today she was hopping around my friend's apartment as if she'd lived there her whole life 🐰 #otherpeoplespets #rabbit #conejo

Boot day thanks to Matthew 277/366 #project366 #october #2016 #hurricanematthew has brought water to our island on his "Caribbean Cruise". I wasn't about to get wet, so I went to the office wearing jeans and sporting my "rainy day boots". More water and bad weather is expected tomorrow, mainly because this guy, aside from being huge, is slow as a turtle. We keep our neighbor Haiti in our prayers as they will receive the blunt force of Matthew directly, as well as those less fortunate who live close to flooding areas and whose housing will not be able to sustain the winds. #huracanmatthew #santodomingo #dominicanrepublic #republicadominicana #weather
