All Good things come to an End

As Nelly Furtado Sings: " Why All Good things come to and End" Well I suppose this is the beauty of life ,enjoy those things, make the most of it and hopefully many ,many other good things will bump in to your life.
I am very sorry I have been spaced out for a while, but this course is very intensive,physically,emotionally,,,,,vow demanding 200% of oneself. Our schedules are at full since 07.30 in the morning until 09.30 in the evening, with hardly a time to enjoy the healthy food around here (healthy is good,but GOD how much I miss a good steak,a good hamburger,a good piece of chocolate,,,,,ahhhh).
The hardest bit ,I think for everybody, is the morning class, 07.30 is to early for meeee!! and with and empty stomach,with a superstiff body and with your eyes still half closed,,,,,but not impossible of course.It's amazing how your body gets used to everything so quickly, and so our bodies too. Sweating and sweating is the most common action of the day: you sweat in the morning class,you sweat after the morning shower, you sweat in the class (coz u have to speak in front of 23 people and u feel bl**dy nervous ),you sweat after lunch,sweat,sweat,sweat,,hehehehe!!! But well is all worth it!!!
Although the hardest week is about to come and the challenge is not over yet, my feedback is very positive. The connection of the group is good,people so different from each other but with something in common: willing to run a 90 minutes hot yoga class sticking your personality in it.
A rollercoaster of emotions: happy,feeling like shit, excitement, tireness,powerful,emotional,vulnerable,cheerful, frustration, amazement,,,,,and so many,many more!!!
We are working very hard but we are spoiled : the staff here is fantastic, the teachers, food is served every day for us, we don't have to clean, to worry about tidying the rooms(thanks God!!)
Only studying,studying,,memorizing,squeezing the braing, stretching bodies to the maximummmm!!!
Uauuuuu,,,,,my biggest fear before starting this course was how I was gonna feel here, with the people ,with myself, with this new thing in my life that is nothing to do with what I am doing now,,,,Am I doing the right thing????
Am I gonna able to one day teach a hot yoga ckass? Do I have to be boring teacher???
But well answers have been coming all the way along this course: I feel blessed coz life has given me this chance,coz I took the decision of doing this,coz I follow my heart and coz I have met people that otherwise I would have never met in my entire life.
Life is not about what people say,is not about who you must be, is not about getting married at 33 and having children before 35 (Oh Godd!! being a mature mummie in her 40s is such and awful thinggg!!)
Life is about being yourself, having your principles,your ideals, your dreams,and fight for this.Otherwise ,where is the wonder??? Follow your heart using your brain, but do what u think is the right thing to do , even if it looks like the impossible. Nothing is impossible, believe and work it out.
But of course the easiest things are the non challenging and the ones are not being appreciated.
So the most difficult ones are the ones staying with one forever, I believe!!!
It took me 13 interviews,to be able to work as a cabin crew!! And here I am ,this job has given me many good things:my friends, all the places I have been,all the people I have met,,,,,,,,
If I followed what the rules of life say, I would still be in my hometown ,married to a nice guy that works in the local bank, and knitting nice socks for my babypeas,,,,,
I respect everybody's decission, Everyone is happy in one way or other!!!
But I must say I am happy that,I feel lucky ,I feel bliss!!!! I am 33, (upps 34!!) ,single and with difficulties to find nice guys, I dunnot have children, I dunnot have a bloody driving license, I am a terrible housewife, I am clumsy and messy. But I have a wonderful sister, a lovely dog,the best mummy in the world ,the best friends of the universe ,a bycicle and a heart to feel,to dream and will to be who I want to be.
Be yourself and don't let anyone to break your dreams. I will always follow what Mr Steve Mcqueen said with a cigarette in his mouth:" When I believe in something ,I fight like hell for it"

choose your life,do not let life to choose you....

Ohhh Godd!!! This is what I am thinking while I am immerse in this fantastic adventure,,,,,I dunno why, but all the good things and best in my life have always been a both good and hard choice, but so worht it!!!!!
Thanks to my stubborness (well I must say is not always an advantage) I have come accross fantastic people,fantastic places,fantastic moments ,,,,and definitely I am grateful for that!!!

I have chosen to come to Thailand,to do something is not related to what I am doing but something I think it will make me happy and it is making me happy.
So I think for people who still wanna be singers,dancers,actors,actresses,happy wives,happy husbands,sexy litte things and whoever you want to be in life,,,there is always a chance ,,,you only have to look for it an work it outttt!!!!

Welll I must say that this week is been quite harsh,,,I must apologize for not been able to work out in my journal. I really want to share this experience with you all, my friends ,my blood,,,,whoever is reading this. But I have not found the time to seat down and press my fingertips in my pc keyboard.
Waking up at 7am everyday,start the day with a 90min yoga class,sweating like a PIG!!!! Well it takes time to get used to it ,with an empty stomach,,,,People have come out the class feeling dizzy, feeling like puke,,,heheheheh!!
But the food here is fantastic,,,is not only veggies,we also get chicken and fish and coffeeeeee in da Morningggg!!! (coffee,coffeee,,,,,love itttt!!) But you dunno have that much time to enjoy with so busy schedules: if you dunno have to study,you have to lift your legs or study philosophy of yoga ,or do a yoga lab,or talk how to be a good teacher,,,,,The study is not easy,so many things to memorize,,and in English ( which is not my first language) but the teachers are fantastic: so experienced,they have taught all around the world, they have been working with athletes,training all kind of people,,,,,it feels so good to listen to them!!!

I am sorry if I cannot stop saying nice things but well this is how it is,,,,The yoga sessions are good experiences,practice and learning,everyday you learn something ,not only from the books,or from the teachers but also from the people .....People come from all around the world: Ireland (hip hip from Ireland,,,God ,Mary is hilarious!!),Finland (Jarna and Laura have come our new good friends,,,,),Singapore,America,Canada,Holland,Korea,Thailand,,,,,I thought that all these people were going to be a very ,very yoga "freaks" like only living for the yoga and being superexperienced in it... but nooo!!! They are normal and very nice people,,,some of them are very good ,some of them no as good!!! But all of them with something in common : willing to learn how to be better and be able to teach one day. Every one is different but I think what it counts is the intention and how much effort you are willing to put in it!!!
Santi and I are getting along, although he gets on my nerves sometimes coz I look like the Mamma (Santi you have to eat,Santi wake up,,,bla,bla,bla ) Maybe I should learn to relax and breathe in and out ehhh!!! Am I such a hard girl or are Men such a softie human beingsss??????
Well besides of all that,Santi is a good company and I am happy he is with me coz we are having a laugh and we can have our humour session moments,,,, I am sure he thinks I am such an hysterical and crazy girllllllll!!!ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
But well I guess life is not only about oneself but about share and learn with the others ,,,keep the good and leave the not as good on the way ehhh!!!
Well yesterday was our first night off ,,,we wanted to have a long night,drink tequilas and have a dancing crazy night,, We went to a beautiful restaurant in the beach and had few bottles of wine but afterthat we were all deadddd!!! So went for foot massage and BELIEVE OR NOT ...I FELT SLEEP!!!! ahhhh noooo!!!!!
I promise to be better next time and last for long and enjoy more the night life ( God I am such and old lady likeeee!!!)
For the moment ,today I am going to have a beach day,,,,,feel the Thai sea water in my skin and relax with a beer,,and maybe have a Pedicure eh???
I will leave the study for later,,,
Promise to write soon, my friends!!!!!
Loveeeeeeee

International Yoga Class,,loving it!!!

Aiiii,,,,,where did I leave u last time??? Well maybe few miles away from where I was yesterday,,,Bangkok!!! Well last night is was a train journey.We boarded the train thinking we were going to come accross a decent and clean 2nd class train,,,but unfortunately we were a little disappointed with what we found,not air conditioning,old seats, dirty, little insects running around mixed with a sticky and humid air floating around the cabin. But well this is
adventure,so let's be ready and cope with it for the next 12 hours.
Anyway after a while, the guy who was checking the tickets and arranging the beds (wonder of seats that become bunk beds in less than 1 min) came to us and ask us whether we wanted to sleep in a better wagon with air conditioninig and decent beds...of course we say yes but of course we had to pay (only 3 pounds though),,,,,

That made a difference and help us to feel comfortable to lie down and enjoy the rest of our journey ( well try to close the eyes for few hours).Our thai guy tried to convince us many times to go to the toilet with him what forrrrrrr??? well to get stoned with joints ....this is what he does all the time after making the beds of the all train,,,he saw our happy faces and thought maybe we could share a smoky time with him,,,poor thing!!! After a while he passed through us and he could hardly opened his eyessss: bad,bad,boyyyyy!!!!

I was surprised I could get few hours sleep, even though it was very cold and all the lights were on,,,,!!! But well at 8 in the morning we arrived to Surathani where we were picked up by a bus ,that accidentally or unanccidentally broke down and thus we had to change to another one,where we had to seat next to a rare_couple of : young-thai-sweetgirl with a suspicious-young-man-that-in-europe-will-be classified-as-a potential-freak???? maybe I am wrong thinking this and if so My apologies then!!!
Anyway the guy behind us could not stop banging his head against the seat??? Coz finally we found out that he was not retarded but had only many very few Singha beers....God ,when u travel the people u find around,and all the characters they are showing is extremely amazingggg!!! Are we all crazy in many ways??? Well maybe I dunno bang my head against seats but I can shout like a viking and eat like a beast,,,this is not very normal either.....hehe!!!
Blaa,bla,,,,,and we took finally the ferry to Koh Samui,,,God in the ferry I was tired,jet lagged,feeling hot and feeling like kin of hungryyy...I bouth a packet of oreo and I ate it all,,,feelinf stuffed like a pig later on and getting cramps in my stomach that with the sticky and sweat does not really help isnt'????
And another hour and finally we got to Koh Samui around 10.30 and took a taxi to our little Sanctuary,,God I could not wait to have a shower and go to the toilet to get rid of all the oreos I was eating before,,,,So yeah,,,We are here now,,probably u have already seen the pictures in facebook, so you can have an idea what does the place look like,,,It's charming and beutiful and relaxing ,,,and the swimming pool is pretty and clean...
We met our next month mates few hours ago and have a conversation with all the teachers.The vibes are good and people come from everywhere: Holland,Finland,Australia.America,Singapore,Thailand,Canada,Austria,,,,We are 24,,,so I think is the perfect amount of peopleeee,,,,,But we got many books,ahhh,,,I have to study philosophy,anatomy,all the yoga postures,,,,,hard,hard work!!! But Ilike it,,,Tomorrow wake up call 7 a.m,,starting our first yoga class at 7.30( with and empty stomach noooooooooooooooo!!!)
then breakfast,,,plus busy schedule until 09.30 pm (with another 1h 30min yoga class between),,,And two breaks between for study or for taking a dip in the pool??? What would u do??? I know,I know,,,,I will get my bkn,,,,
Santi wants to sneak out at nights and go to the center to have few beers,but well I dunno if we can do sooooo,,,, At the moment,until we manage a plan,,we were satisifed making friends with the finnish girls and dipping our feet in the ligthened pool while watching at a beautiful sky full of stars.Let's see what brings tomorrow.,Have a good day,have a good night.xx

"When u travel by train ,there are many things from nature that you can really appreciate" Agatha Christie

eiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!! Hola hola.....so following Mrs Christie advise, we are challenging ourselves to the night train to Koh Samui,,,,we don,t like perfection so we took second class tickets (well the true is that it was much more cheaper,,hehehe) with air conditioning and bunk beds!! It does not sound bad,but I am not very sure about the sleeping!!
Anyway ,I am still jet-lagged and my body wakes up from 8 pm until 5 am...so I cannot believe i am becoming a real vampire,with the difference I am not up to blood yet!!!!
So maybe the train is gonna be a quite challenging adventure!!! I am sure...
No one would said I am a luxurious international trolley dolley..!!! Maybe is because my very strong gypsie roots or it is simply my weirdness that makes me go always for the cheapest and the adventurous: if I could I would always be eating in the street,walking barefoot, following the locals,using my backpack and wearing my bikini plus flipflops...but well when you travel with people you always have to adapt yourself to the others and not only this,try to learn from the others!!!
Santi is more classy than I ,so keeping positive ,,I will say is good to seat in a table and enjoy a nice and cold beer ,it is good to try to behave when you are eating and control your burps and be a little bit lady like!! why not ehhh!!!!
today I had a very good massage,a Thai massage and so cheap!! I only paid 5 pounds for an hour,,God these girls are billions worth it!!! Alway so nice and then after ur nice massage we enjoyed our tea,What else can you ask for for 5 pounds!!!
I keep on eating very spicy food and everytime I am havig it I say the same to myself:" Leti,this is the last time you are eating glass noodle a la superhottie style" . How can I be so tremendoulsy stubborn???
Anyway I am writing now because I don't know when I am gonna be able to write again: tomorrow I am going to meet all my group,the teachers,my new home for a month,in a beautiful island that I have nver been before and that I hope does not start moving back and forward in time??? Does it sound to much LOST??? i will let you Know soon , my Dharma friends!!!
Make love and practice yoga
Namaste

DAY 2. STICKY AND SWEAT

I am sorry but today I am writing in Spanish ,,This is in honour of my wondermamma coz she does not understand the English and she deserves to Know where I am going to encounter the danger init??? Well I dunno if many people is reading this but I feel good writing so if there is only one person o 2 o3 o3333333 o whoever and u wanna Know all this excitiment of my life plus u dunno understand The Spanish (apart from tortilla y jamon yvino),,u can use the www.thesaurus.com ( good dictionary for translation,,,pitty does not translate rude words,,upps I did it again!!!)

Mamma,,,,mira que escribo en castellano rustico asi me entiendes!! ahhhh
Bueno hoy me he levantado como Mecano: hoy no me puedo levantar!! estoy tan sudada que me encuentro fatal!!! jajajjaj,,pero ehh esto es bangkok,,se me habia olvidado del calor tropical y pegajoso enganchoso de este pais,,,,pero me encanta!1 es diferente y ahi esta el trick de la cuestion,,,Jo aunque como colmo desayunarte un porridge con leche supermegacaliente con una banana mezclada a las cuatro especias no ayuda,,porque luego me quede como una hoguera de San Juan: echando fuego por todos los laos!! Madre mia,,,,,,
Bien hemos hecho un poco de sightseeng en el tuktuktuktuk,,,aunque el coleguilla nos ha tomao mas el pelo que nada!! claro muy barato ya decia yo peroes que todo en esta vida que vale poco tiene truco,,asi que nos ha llevao a la tienda de su primo lejanisimo de Nepal a haber si nos haciamos unos trajes con corbatas!! blabla,,,vaya rollo nos ha metido el pobre!pero que penica si es eso lo que tienen que hacer para ganar dinero pues a aguantar ,,y asi le hemos aguantao el rollo hasta que le hemos dicho que lo pensariamos, y se ha quedao con una cara de Al Paccino en El Padrino que te cagas!! Madre mia ,,aqui no solo tienes que tener miedo de los camisetas rojas,,tambien de los vendedores que despues de meterte el rollo no les haces el business!! yo pense que el hombre nos iba a sacar la navaja y cortarnos a trozos para hacer el Pad Thai de la comida!!! ufff
Anyway el tuktuk driver nos queria llevar a la tienda de su hermano que vendia vuelos a no se donde y le hemos dicho que NOOOO,,,llevanos a ver el Superbuda acostao (reclining Budha) y nos dejas ahi,,,y el cojonudo nos ha llevado a otro maravillo templo ,vamos donde le ha dado la gana!!! joer
Pues nada que hemos cogido un taxi al final continuando con el turisteo. Luego fuimos a probar una clase de hot yoga en bkk,,,joer que wonderful!! claro un estudio de pelicula,,,con unos probadores que parecian la casa de la barbie mil maravillas!!claro ya estamos hablando de la zona rica de bangkok,,,donde todo cambia,la gente ya no va medio descalza, y las tiendas pasan a SER Gucci,Armani!! pero me ha encantado,,la gente asiatica tiene otra mentalidad!! aunque no lo parezca son mucho mas abiertos y adelantados que nosotros en muchas cosas. A los thai les encanta practicar yoga,hot yoga,,,y la verdad es que ese estudio y los profes que tienen dicen mucho de esto..!!!
pero imaginad...tanto sudar,sudar pues a sudar mas!!! lo que no me he dado cuenta es que tanto andar con flip flops por las calles guarrillas de bkk me dejaron los pies mas negro que el tizon,,jo pues imaginad!! en la clase ,en primera fila, con todas las thai pijas girls,,,y yo levantando la pata con mi pie guarro del coponnnn!!! Amennnnnnnnnnnn
jajajjajaja this is me!!!!!!!
Bueno cuerpo sano en mente sana con pies negros,,me encanta jajajaj!!!
Pero la recompensa ha sido buena,,despues de sudar y machacar el body hay que darle energyyyy!!!
que mejor que un Pad Thai noodles con zumo de Papaya a la tailandesa,,y todo esto por tres euros!!! ( y yo pensadno joer que caroooo!!!) asi da gusto viajar.....
Bueno ahora de momento se ha puesto a llover,aunque aun hace calor de espanto, pero al menos espero que refresque un pocooooo,,,,y si para, estoy tentada de irme a dar otro masaje en mis piececitos lindos (que en España me da verguenza porque la people se piensa que mis pies vienen del dinosaurio Austrolopitevcus,,,,)......
Y otra Singha a lo mejor,,,,Uppppsss asi da gusto vivir,,verdad????

Day 1 in the Pad-Thai Land,,,,,,,,

Hiiiiiiiii yaaaa!!!!
Finally, after a long and adventurous flight I got to Bang-bang-kokokokoko city,,,,,!!! God I felt the same as every time I have been here before,,,so comfortable,so happy....Until after passing the passport control I went to pick my suitcase up and lalalalaal,,,,,nothing was running on the KLM 788 belt,,,,So that means that my suitcase with all my primark knickers and ,bobby and billy,,,,,,,was somewhere else???????Yeah the poor thing is in Amsterdam and is coming tomorrow at 8.am,so they will send it to the hotel we are staying in.
Well,after this little incident I waited for Santi to arrive, I hanged around the airport and visited the toilet 5 times in a hour (is me the only one who feels like weeing like crazy after every flight???),,,,,So yeah,Santi arrived and after trying to bargain with the boss of all the taxi drivers to give us a lift for less than 10 pounds,,,,we decided to take the bus to the ,wonderful,awsome,crazy,dirty,,,Khao San Road!!! Aiii I love this city!! I will never get tired of it,,things have not changed within 3 years...Thai say Bkk is safe() dunno worry,,and yeah this is what it looks like!!! We found a cheap hotel close to Khao and we then went out for a walk!!!
I want to eat crunchy insects but I have not been lucky this time. Hopefully I will find them somewhere around the city within the next two days,,,and then maybe eating them I will get over my spidergirl trauma!!!!
Ohhh I had a foot massage and ohhh that was heaven,,I have been in heaven!!! the poor Thai girl must have thought I was having an orgasm with my aiiii,ohhhh,yeahhh!!!!
Probably it was but after such a long day I am not very in control of all my senses and emotions,hehehe!!!
Anyway I could not help it and I ended up buying some baggy pants,hippie and blue and delightful!!! But I am going to behave coz today is the first day and We have a month to go!!! and after that a delicious Thai dinner with a Singha looking at all the old man hanging on with the pretty and young thai girls (bizarre ehh???),,But well this is Bkk:lights,noise,smell of curry,bargain,tuk-tuk,,,,What else???? Oh God I love travelling and I will never get tired of it!Open your mind,open ur horizons: THIS IS THE F*****G AND AMAZING LIFEEE!!AHHHH

Things are not easy...but well here is the challenge....!!!

AIAIAIAIAI!!!LIKE THE OLD GRANNIES SAY WHEN SOMETHING IS NOT IN ITS PLACE....
BUT WELL THIS IS ME TODAY,,,,AIAIAIAIAIA!!! STILL IN BARCELONA,,,I HAVE TRIED TO GET IN ONE KLM FLIGHT BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS FULL AND THERE WERE 3 GUYS LOOKING LIKE THE ROLLING STONES BAND (BELIEVE OR NOT THEY WORK FOR KLM,,,) THAT TOOK ALL THE SEATS AVAILABLE,,,,

I TRIED TO GET ON A FLIGHT WITH TRANSAVIAN AIRLINES,,BUT THE STAFF THERE COUULD NOT GIVE ME A SEAT COZ THEY HAVE FUNNY RULES (WELCOME TO SPAIN EII!!!),,,SO I WENT BACK AGAIN TO KLM WHERE THEY HAVE TRIED TO LIST ME TO ANOTHER FLIGHT TO BKK. I DID NOT KNOW THEY COULD CHECKED UR SUITCASE ALL THE WAY THROUGH THAILAND. SO I REALLY HOPE IT GETS SAFE AND NOT FULL OF WHITE POWDER,,COZ IF DOES SO,,,I CAN IMAGINE PRACTICING MY YOGA BETWEEN BARS,BUT WELL I CAN BECOME A SEXY NEW LADY GAGA,,,AND USE THE TETTETETETELEPHONE TO CALL A SEXYMAMAMAMANNNN TO COME A PICK ME UP????

WELL I AM WATING AT BCN AIRPORT STILL!!!!!!! WITH MY FINGERS CROSSED AND MY TOES INTERLOCKED,,,,AND THINKING OF PLAN B AND C IF A DOES NOT WORK,,,
