“GIN GIN” The Place For Gin in Mexico City…

Un secreto a voces que ha despertado la curiosidad de los locales y descubierto nuevas formas de consumir el gin. El Gin Gin es un espacio ideal para tomar cocteles con ginebra y disfrutar de un menú reducido pero muy exquisito. Un Kitchen-bar dedicado a servir en un ambiente muy misterioso, poco tradicional y muy interesante; la decoración incita al secreto y hace de una casa vieja, un lugar increíble para disfrutar los mejores gins de la ciudad. 

Pueden probar una gran variedad de cocteles, incluso cocteles vírgenes para todos aquellos abstemios. Es un lugar que vale la pena visitar, la música es para todo tipo de gustos y a través de su Página de Facebook pueden observar los diferentes DJ’s y músicos invitados que estarán tocando durante la semana. Un bar ubicado en una de las zonas más hispters y “trendys” de la Ciudad de Mexico, La Roma. Dónde la luz tenue y las plantas crean una atmósfera acogedora y llamativa para esta espectacular ciudad. Para conservar la intriga y el misterio las reservaciones se realizan únicamente a través de su Página de Facebook.

¡Gracias por leer y espero les guste mi recomendación!

A new “speakeasy” that has conquered the inevitable lifestyle of the locals in Mexico City. It is a Kitchen-bar located in one of the trendiest and hipster zones in Mexico called La Roma. The ambience has its own mystery and charm that will surprise you every time. People come here for the Gin cocktails prepared exquisitely by the bartender, definitely the best gins in the city.

The menu is small but the dishes are delicious, I completely recommend trying the peanuts with olives seasoned in spicy spices and the pizzas. I don’t remember the name of my favorite cocktails but one was made with cucumber, sake, gin, and tonic; and the other one had a very special gin mixed with the juice of the olives and a splash of tonic water. They sound simple but they are completely astounding. The decoration is quite peculiar and interesting but cool and classy at the same time. It is a place worth visiting. In order to keep the secrecy, reservations are made through the Facebook page. Hope you like the recommendations and always remember to Keep it Local!

 

Rainy days…

 

“You can’t have a rainbow without the rain.”

“Anyone who thinks that sunshine is pure happiness has never danced in the rain.”

Even the rainy days should be part of our majestic plan of life. Because whatever happens, just remember that it never rains forever… How are you feeling this Friday? Today I am feeling grateful for all the rainy days and rainy moments that gave me my own rainbows in life.

This is ME…

“We age not by years, but by stories.”

“You can be gorgeous at thirty, charming at forty, and irresistible for the rest of your life.” Coco Chanel

“Between childhood and adulthood there’s this instant called life.”

 That day when we most feel vulnerable, that day that melancholy fills up our entire system, that day when we realice that another year has passed and we believe we stood still because it passed incredibly fast. That day, the day you call your “birthday.” For most people is a matter of celebration, an excuse to get together, to celebrate life; for others is a reminder of age, a reminder of life, a reminder of existence; and for the rest is a day a regular day in which they get to attend a significant but irregular number of phone calls from people who care and love them. What is it for you? Is it the best day of your life, do you like attention, do you seek comfort in people when they tell you they love you? Do you celebrate your life or run from it?

We Wait… And We Wait

“Hope but never expect, move forward but never wait.” 

“How foolish is a man! He ruins the present while worrying about the future, but weeps in the future by recalling his past.” Ali Ibn Abi Talib

We live, we struggle, we fight, we cry, we encounter, we race, we rush, and sometimes, most of the times: we just wait… We wait for tomorrow in despair of hoping for better circumstances, for better places, for better timing. We wait for the future so that it can repair our past, so it can affect our present. We wait for life to come up with better and greater ideas about our destiny, we wait for that perfect moment that will change our lives. It’s like when we take a picture, we take several of them so that one, only one, will turn out perfect so we can share it with the world, and then what? Who will be happy with this “perfect” picture, you? me? the people who see it? or even nobody? because maybe that “perfect” picture is no longer perfect afterwards. I don’t know if I’m making sense, probably I am not, but we don’t realice that all the other pictures are better than the “perfect” one, because they show exactly who we are, they don’t show our “fake” pose.

What if…

“The more you love a memory, the stronger and stranger it is.”

                                                                    Vladimir Nabokov

“You will always be my biggest what if.”

What if we create what we dream of. What if we conquer our fears and live the way we want to. What if our life is more wonderful than what we take for granted. What if we are living the life we weren’t meant to live. What if we let go of the things, places, and people that were supposed to change our lives for good. What if we just lost the opportunity to become more than we ever dreamt of. What if our lives will never be the same. What if we forgive who has hurt us. What if we let life surprise us. What if, what if, what if… These and many more “what if”s are the ones that make our life miserable. We get stuck in the past or we begin to live in the future without understanding that what we got right now is today! We live by dreams, just dreams, instead of making them the end of the “what if,” we constantly lack of courage to begin to live the rest of our lives. I think we create what we are afraid to do only when we have no more time or when something unexpected happens and we can’t do it anymore.

End of Summer…

“The greatest cruelty is our casual blindness to the despair of others.”

We all tend to believe that the things that happen to us, only happen to us; that when people hurt us, they do it intentionally, that everything that surrounds us is for the sake of making our life the way it is. We never stop to think that maybe, just maybe, what people do to us is the reflection of their own personal problems, their own unhappiness, their own despairs. I think that the greatest virtue we could all have is compassion, we never know what that other person was going through when they did the things that hurt us; or maybe we look for perfection in everything when mistakes happen around the corner everyday. We have to be compassionate about others, about their problems, about their life. I believe it is the greatest form of love. Compassion shows our human side, our belief that we all ride together in this enormous air balloon called world that will eventually break; even though we all have different problems and circumstances in life, we all suffer, so believe in the greater power of empathy and don’t be careless or blind to what others might be going through. How are you feeling this Friday? Today, I am feeling remorse for the way I am sometimes with the people that care about me, for the times compassion wasn’t in my heart and I forgot that people might have bigger problems that I.

That’s what he got for waking up in Vegas…

“Sometimes the only way to stay sane, is to go a little crazy.” 

From movie “Girl Interrupted”

“Here’s to the nights that turned into mornings with the friends that turned into family”

¡¡¡Ya es sábado!!! Si me siguen en Instagram o en Facebook sabrán que el pasado fin de semana mi esposo y yo decidimos “renovar nuestros votos” o hacer un “remarriage” en Las Vegas. La verdad fue mucho más divertido de lo que me imaginé, hace meses reservamos la capilla de Elvis y superó nuestras expectativas. Elvis nos casó, cantó y nos hizo reír con todo lo que nos dijo. En este Feeling Friday quisiera compartirles lo que le dije a Daniel en ese día, que aunque era más de broma y de loquera que de seriedad, quise hacerle saber que mi vida no existiría sin el. Ya me puse cursi, pero al final, si leen todos los FF que hago, la cursilería es parte de mi vida. Espero les guste.

Selfishness, good or bad?

“Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, is asking others to live the way we want them to live.”
Oscar Wilde

I’ve heard many things about selfishness, some people say it is necessary, some say people who act selfish live longer, and others believe that being selfish is the perfect way to end a relationship with life, with love, with friendship. What do you believe? Is it possible to live your life without thinking about others? Do we need to be selfish to have a better and happier life? I believe we are all selfish by nature, we tend to think about our problems, our happiness, our regrets, our comforts first and then we focus on others. We do the things we do because it is what’s best for us, not because it is best for everyone else. All of the things we do have a selfish thought behind them. However, I do not believe that acting selfish is what will make us happier; yes, it will probably make us live longer. But what kind of life are we destined to live if everything we do, we do it just for us? We would be completely alone.
