Spring flowers

Spring is my favorite season, why? Because here in Cochabamba you can see beautiful flowers while you're walking on the streets, and the cost is kind of cheap. I want to buy some red and yellow freesias to make a crown. Here are some  lovely pictures:

A spring afternoon

 This afternoon I started to do the formalities to get my bachelor's degree. the day was a little bit strange. In the morning the sky was cloudy and I thought it would rain, but in the afternoon everything changed, the sky had no clouds and it was warm, so I decided to take a walk after doing the formalities. It's interesting walking in the streets there are so many things to see, the sellers, the flowers, the floor, the people walking very quickly. Cochabamba is a quiet city, and you don't see the typical chaos of the big cities, Cochabamba is unique, the breeze caresses your skin, you see a lot flowers, trees. I enjoyed this afternoon but I wanted a cup of coffee, sitting quietly in one of the best Cafe of the main square of this city.

 On the corner of the main square of Cochabamba.

 Near the university.

The main square and some flowers.

 Trying to look spontaneous... :P

It's tuesday night, listen french jazz and throw pieces of paper with messages to your neighbour's roof, but not threatening messages, funny messages .

Spring in Cochabamba

Since today the spring has come to this valley. The weather is warm in the afternoons and cool at nights, but I like the weather in the morning, it's a little bit different than warm and cool. When I leave my house and walk in the streets I can appreciate the color of the flowers and the blue, blue sky. Tonight I want to do something different and a good choice is a jazz concert in an old house.

I forgot, here in Bolivia today is like valentine's day, and the streets are full of cards sellers and stuffed animals. I think the chocolates and the florists stores are working very hard today, It's their day! I don't like that because I don't need a day to remember how much I love to someone, as a matter of fact I'm against any specific day that involves buying and selling of products and that is the unbridled consumerism; you don't have to give any presents just for specific days, you can give presents everyday, but beautiful presents that will live forever and don't cost anything.  Write a poem, say sublime words, make a present with your own hands but please don't think you can give them just a day, don't think like sheeps do. Don't follow anyone  and hate consumism.

Have a nice day and night, give kisses and hugs for no reason to the people that you love.

And watch this video performed by the greatest Jamiroquai.

The secret of flowers

I love flowers, when I smell,touch and look at them I feel very happy. Today I read an article about the meaning of the flowers, and It was interesting, the author talked about how in the victorian era the lovers used to send messages with flowers, each flowers represented a feeling; the florists were poets who made art and verses with roses, lilies, orchids and other flowers.

I wish I could get a message on a bouquet of flowers from someone that I miss very much and unfortunatelly is not with me anymore, he didn't die but I realized that our story is dying in oblivion... 

P.S. I love all kind of flowers but I hate red roses, I don´t know why.
