Triángulo Amoroso
Mi BFF&E (Best Friend Forever & Ever) Betty me envió hace unas semanas un reel de Instagram que me ha tenido pensando mucho. El reel en cuestión expone una simplificación, propuesta por la psicóloga española Emma Goberna, de la teoría triangular de Sternberg, que es una teoría psicológica de la autoría del psicólogo Robert Sternberg […]
Engaños Universales
(No English version available this time around — Talk to management if you have any complaints) Podemos engañar a algunas personas todo el tiempo. Podemos engañar a todas las personas parte del tiempo. No podemos engañar a todas las personas todo el tiempo. Se le adjudica erróneamente a Abraham Lincoln el haber dicho una variación […]
Para millones y para mí
(English version included below this one) Pues bien recibida la última publicación del blog en dos idiomas… parece que sí hacía falta que pusiera la versión en español, y yo recién me di cuenta más de 7 años después de haber empezado a escribirlo. Un poco lenta la criatura. En fin, a partir de ahora, […]
Sororidad / Sorority
(English version included below this one) Después de mi última publicación, alguien me preguntó que por qué escribo este blog en inglés y esa es una muy buena pregunta. (Aprendí, cuando daba clases en la universidad, que cuando el maestro contesta que esa “es una muy buena pregunta” la mayoría de las veces es porque […]
Zero Fucks
I have a specific cognitive profile and a couple of years ago, while reading about it in order to learn a bit more about myself to improve some of my personal processes – my creative process, for example – I came across a piece of information that made a lot of sense to me: I […]

30 Years of the Altar de Muertos
I placed my first Day of the Dead offering back in 1993. I was 13 back then and a huge fan of Germán Valdez, Tin Tan, a Mexican actor from the Mexican cinema Golden age. His comedic timing, his multi-talented nature – he was a good singer, and a decent dancer – and according to […]
A Brand-New Identity
My son had and accident a couple of weeks ago. He – somehow I am not willing to discuss in this forum – suffered a fall and injured his leg, his elbow, and his neck. I had to take him to an orthopedist who checked him and ordered some X rays to make sure nothing […]
“I don’t like being photographed”
This week I went on vacation to Mexico City, and something funny happened, because I felt like I was coming back home. I had described something similar to this feeling in an old entry of my previous Spanish blog, in which I wrote about how I felt going back to Guanajuato while I was living […]
8 Months and Macro counting
I haven’t posted any entry fully dedicated to my weight loss process in over five months, and I believe it’s about time I do it, for several circumstances that are now coming together. First of all, I stopped the chronicles of my weight loss because from November until the beginning of February my process mysteriously […]
