Would it be true that I'm thinking like a "man"?

Last thursday, I went to work on a promotional screening with my co-worker/friend and her friend and while we were talking about relationships and giving our different opinions about "girls feelings" when we meet or start dating a guy, he said something interesting about me and it was that "I'm thinking like a man".

And all this questions started to pop up on my head:  Would that be the reason why,  I've never been on a serious relationship with someone?  Would that be also the reason why I had never fallen in love or that I never had a boyfriend or been commited towards someone?? Would that be the reason also, that when someone is getting to close, I freak out and break it off?

I, to be honest I've always been very independent, done everything for myself, come and go without giving explanation to no one and have my own routine, so when I start dating a guy, is difficult for me to open up, let my guard down and let him be part of MY ROUTINE or LIFE to be less selfish.

I'm not the needy girl, I don't get attached completely and if the guy doesn't want me anymore, I don't beg, because I love me to much and I have lots of pride. Also, I'm not the girl who calls almost everyday(it's very rare for me to call), I don't text everyday, hell I could go days without texting and when I have the itch to text, I analyze the whole process "should I or shouldn't I" "Should I wait for him to do it" and then at the end I decide "No he should do it, why should I".  Even to invite him out I analyze it, because I don't want to look vulnerable or put my guard down, because, why if I do it and at the end I get hurt., I did it once, put my guard down just a notch and I got hurt, so why should I do it again..

I started to date someone three months ago, he is handsome, a gentleman, sweet, nice, adventorous guy, who also likes sports, great kisser and I do like him, but I don't feel the excitement that some of my friends have when they meet a guy and think they just found the love of their life.

Is that normal? Am I cold hearted? I mean, like I said I do like him, but I don't know what I really want.   Do I really want a relationship with him? I think that may be the reason why I haven't pop up the question of where our fling (if I can call it some way) is going somewhere,  because none of us had said something as this being "exclusive". 

We do hold hands, kiss, gone out many times and he also mentioned on one of the dates that he liked me a lot and would like for things to go slow for us to know each other better,  and see were this could lead us, because he doesn't want to make the same mistakes from his past relationships with me and it sort of works for me., but, will he be worth the wait? And also, Will he be preseverance and patient enough (if he really do like me) for me to fall in love with him? Or what he said about taking things slow to know each other is just bullshit.

All my friends say to go with the flow and let time decide what will become of us, so that's what I'm doing, I just don't know if I have the patience to stick to it. 

So, is it true? Would my co-worker friend be right? Do I think or feel like a man?  

I dont' know, it seems time will tell, how this "love story" will end, IF it became a "love story".

I like this song by Ednita Nazario called "Alérgica al Amor" in english is "Allergic to Love", because for some reason, I feel connected to it.  I hope you enjoy it!

Babv Rasta y Gringo se preparan para el lanzamiento de su nuevo video musical “Luna Llena”


Por: Alianette Almestica

En lo personal, tengo una fascinación por los seres místicos como los vámpiros y los lobos, personajes que estarán presentes en el nuevo video musical “Luna Lluna” de el duo Baby Rasta y Gringo mejor conocidos como “Los Lobos”.

Este video musical fue grabado en un prestigioso Castillo de las Colinas de Hollywood y  un rancho en Frazier Park.

El mismo fue dirigido por Carlos Martin, quién ha dirigido varios videos de Daddy Yankee y cuenta con la participación de actores de Hollywood como Nathalie Kelley (video de Bruno Mars “The Way You Are”), Yorgo Constantine (Fast Five) como el vampiro principal y por supuesto los extras disfrazados de vampiros, dándole así un ambiente bien al estilo Hollywoodense

Durante una entrevista telefónica, Baby Rasta explica que “Luna Llena” es un tema que trata sobre un amor imposible, un amor prohibido entre una vampira princesa (Nathalie Kelley) y un lobo. 

Pero algo que llamó mucho mi atención, mientras hablaba con Baby Rasta, es que tuvieron  lobos reales en el set, “Fue emocionante, pero al mismo tiempo tuvimos miedo, porque tu no sabes qué pueda pasar o cómo puedan reaccionar” explicó Baby Rasta sobre esta experiencia.

Mi gente (como buen boricua que soy), les recomiendo que estén pendientes  del lanzamiento del video musical “Luna Llena”, el cual promete personajes místicos, sensualidad y acción emocionante.

CAFÉ TACVBA’s“El Objeto Antes Llamado Disco” Is Set To Be Released On October 22nd


“El Objeto Antes Llamado Disco” (The Object Previously Called An Album) Is The First New Music Release In Five Years From “Mexico's pre-eminent rock band”.

“The pioneering Mexican rock band Café Tacvba brought audiences into the recording studio to assemble its new songs more or less live, which may explain the pop exuberance that courses through the album.”
- New York Times Fall Preview- October Album 



First Single “De Este Lado Del Camino” (From This Side of The Road) Is Currently The Lead Song Pick In The Fall Preview of NPR Music’s “Alt. Latino”:

MTV Iggy (Which Spotlights The Best Of Cutting- Edge Global Music)
Also Just Featured A Special Q&A With Café Tacvba To Recognize The Band As Just The Second Entry In Their Global ICONS Series:

“How many bands can claim 20 years of non-stop commercial and critical success, an adoring fan-base across the Western hemisphere and carte blanche to experiment as wildly as they please?  Since releasing their self-titled debut in 1992, Café Tacvba has become quite possibly the most important rock band in Latin America of the last two decades, inspiring fans with an omnivorous approach to music-making that splices together pop culture, folk traditions and the avant garde.”
