500 Words, Day 159. Streets. Roads. Cars. People in pieces of metal speeding along the highway during the early morning hours in a small country at the center of the American continent. I block out the noise as I put on my earphones and walk, and I watch and observe as the day begins. Grey … Continue reading Day 159

500 WORDS, DAY 156: Growing Up In Two Different Cultures

In all … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 156: Growing Up In Two Different Cultures

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 51: Working Back Home and Abroad.
I'm at work at the moment. Normally we don't have internet connection here to access sites not related to the job itself, but I just randomly tried to get on WordPress today and it worked, and there's a lot of free time in between calls, so it's a perfect moment for me to get started … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 51: Working Back Home and Abroad.
1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 17: Why Hip-Hop? (Part 1)
I was born in the beautiful, extremely hot and tropical country of Honduras. Honduras is a small third world country in Central America, and apart from being an amazing country in many aspects, rich in natural resources, it unfortunately also suffers greatly from ongoing gang activity and violence, as well as shameless government corruption. For … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 17: Why Hip-Hop? (Part 1)
1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 13: Immigrating to Canada, Pressure from Parents.
I was born in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. I lived in Honduras, both in Tegucigalpa, the capital, as well as San Pedro Sula, the industrial capital, for ten years before my family immigrated to Canada.

Sixth day of writing and publishing a thousand words.

DAY 5: 1,000 WORDS: RETURN TO VANCOUVER & LONG-DISTANCE LOVE.
Fifth day straight of getting a thousand words down and publishing them! When I started this challenge I was afraid that I would lose motivation after the second or third day, a thousand words seemed like a lot to tackle every single day. I see now that by taking this challenge I've proved those expectations … Continue reading DAY 5: 1,000 WORDS: RETURN TO VANCOUVER & LONG-DISTANCE LOVE.
DAY 4: 1,000 WORDS: WORKING IN HONDURAS, AND MEETING MY WIFE.
Fourth day of writing and publishing 1000 words. Thankfully I woke up today feeling really motivated to finish my writing before I left for work. I realized I can reach more people during the day, probably since most English readers are awake at around the same hours as I am. I also realized that putting … Continue reading DAY 4: 1,000 WORDS: WORKING IN HONDURAS, AND MEETING MY WIFE.
DAY 3: 1,000 WORDS: WHERE I’M WRITING FROM (part 2)
Third day of writing and publishing 1000 words. For the sake of honesty I have to say, my energy and enthusiasm today are not as high as they were during my first two days of this challenge, and for that reason I wasn't able to post this in the morning as usual. I won't let this sudden mood change kill … Continue reading DAY 3: 1,000 WORDS: WHERE I’M WRITING FROM (part 2)
