Little Women.

Haven´t you ever read a book to please someone and end up loving it???Well, I have, I have read a few, but actually the one that deserves a post is Little Women.

I read it after my godmother gave it to me one Christmas, it is actually one of her favorites books. I was nine and it was the first actual novel i read by myself; And I loved it.

Of course as it was the first novel I read all by myself I read it slowly, but I finished. I would take it everywhere with me so if I had the chance I would read it, in school I just waited for a teacher to be late or to give us a free time or reading time -I hadn´t mastered the art of reading under the desk, I do it frequently now and I have´t been caught once!

So let me tell you why I love it. Little woman is not the tipicall romatic novel that it´s all about a gorl falling in love, no it´s about friendship and family bonds; growing up and social pressure. I think it is the only book in which I don´t like a cannon couple, I would´ve loved if Laurie and Jo ended up together. and talking about Jo, she´s of course my favorite character she´s all I want to be and I´m like her in personality and have curly hair, so yeah....

I don´t have sisters, only brothers and reading about a house full of only women is like a so different, but is nice to read something different. of course I fell for Laurie, like man of the girls who read the book.

So who´s your favorite character? Tell me about what you like of it?

By the Sea Mr. T oh! I know you´d love it.!

Ok, so, this is the third time I try to write a post. I was reading My Wonderland´s blog -Go chek it out is awesome- and she said that she almost googled "Cool thigs to post about" or something like that and that gave me an idea. Yes I googled it, didn't find anything -depressing I know.... So I decided to give up and wait for inspiration to strike.
So I went to the beach, and inspiration struck. I decided to post about the place whre I have been going since I was 2 weeks old, and that is such a big part of my life. It had been almost a year since I went there and I had forgotten how much I loved it. So I´m going to let you know a little bit more about my life and let you know why I love it so much.
The beach is the place where I have been going every summer that I can remember, it´s part of my life. I learned to ride a bike, I met one of my best friends, broke 3 fingers….. Don´t you just love to be able to walk around shoeless, the smell and sound of the sea? I love to be able to do nothing all day, I love to sit and read by the sea, I love so many stuffs.
Even though I love the beach I do not like to go when there´s too many people, I like feeling like if the beach is mine and I can do whatever I want with my friends. But anyways the beach is the beach, that little part of my life which is full of fond memories……. That sounded cheesy!
Happy Christmast!!!!!!!!
I know is short but……

New blog title..... I owe you an explination

Today I realized that my title had something in it or rather didn´t had; it didn´t have this charming blog title, it was a pen name; and I decided to that I was going to change it and I did as you can see.

I decided to Change it to "Wonders of a City Gypsy" because:
1- I like it
2-it has two meanings, first meaning: What do Gypsies do? they dance, they tell you your future, read your palm....But basically they wonder around, they are universal and eternal wonder-ers. So "Wonders of a City Gypsy" as in a gypsy wondering around.
Second meaning: Wonder as in "I wonder if...." that explain the whole lot. So "Wonders of a City Gypsy" as in "Thoughts of a City Gypsy"

I know it´s short, but I just wanted to explain.

The Beatles


Greatest band in the history of music -there is not doubt about that- their music has influenced almost every band in the present, and I don´t know the first person who does not like their music. You know? I think they´re the band that after the break up earns more money.

My ad learnt to play the guitar to play Here Comes the Sun -So did I, But I´m not good enough to play more than the intro yet. And Hey Jude! has the most touching background, Paul McCartney wrote the song for John Lennon´s son, Julian ,when John Lennon and Cynthia Powell divorced.

My older brother told me that the music records with who they first singed didn´t want to sing them in because "bands with instruments were dying" - Yeah right!- and Vl -my friend remember he form the Venezuela post?- told me that they singed them in because they were cute, when I told this to my dad he said "Ringo Starr, cute? he was a nose with hair!" I of course laughed out loud and then he remembered that Ringo Starr joined the Beatles after they had signed with the music records.

I love and thank all the Beatles for the art, but my favorite Beatle is Paul McCartney, he is I think a good man, and one if not the best musicians in history, Yesterday - which he wrote- is the song that has most covers in history. Wikipedia says that he´s the most successful songwriter in history. and he seems like a lovely rock ´n roll grandpa -it would be awesome to be one of his grand children or children, imagine saying to the teacher or to a friend "my daddy -or grandpa which ever you chose- is Paul McCartney!".

I totally, utterly hate Yoko Ono, John Lennon´s wife, she´s blamed for the break up of the Beatles -That´s reason enough to put her on the top 3 of my hate list- The Beatles break up is with Henry VII and Caterina of Aragon´s is the most world changing break up in history. Yesterday my mom, dad, older brother and I were talking about them and my dad was not sure if Yoko Ono worked for Apple Corps -Which belongs to the Beatles- and my mom was like "No, if she worked for that record I think that the other 3 Beatles would have died" even my grandma hates her!

But in the end The Beatles changed my world and I don´t know what music would be without them, they have so much influence upon the world that my computer dictionary came with the world Beatles included!

So I want to Finish this post saying Thank you Paul, Ringo -love your name, George- did you know that the guy that invented the portable clock was named just like him "George Harrison"- and John for everything the music the art the conversations themes, for inspiring me to learn to play the guitar, for everything.

Personally I love this picture they look so natural!


They were English men the had to drink tea!

Pillow fight!!!!!!


Hello America!!!
What does it says?!



I don´t know why I love the way they´re dressed here!
