Happy Birthday Lucas.

Luca, I don't know if this is going to be around for as long as I want but I sure hope so.
4 years ago on a wednesday, mommy (You used to live in her belly, that's right) woke me up at around 3 a.m and said:
"I think it's time" so I started the preparations(that means I started panicking) so we gathered our stuff, got in the car, and drove off to the hospital.
Got there, checked in, they gave us a room and I started waiting for the big bang.
I wanted to pretend control over the situation so I pulled out my book and started reading (I was so in control that I don't even remember what book it was hahah)
Mommy claimed ownership over the remote and started watching Jerry springer or some other bad show.

Time went by and nothing, guess you were too comfortable in the belly and didn't want to come out.
Finally at around 10 a.m you decided it was time and started finding your way out, when that was over the conductor (Thomas reference for the uncool) handed you over to me and the first thing I said was, "It's a Boy!!!".

Today as you turn 4 I want you to know that ever since that day, I can say that you've made me happier than Disneyland 99% of the time; the other 1% I reserve for those moments when I'm not as patient as I would like to be.
I just hope I won't disappoint you.

I know there will be times later on in our lives when you're gonna think I don't get you and that's ok, I am aware of that, I went through the same thing with Chicho and I still like to watch gole matches with him even if it's just to root for the opposite team.

Having said that, all that's left for me to say is:
Happy Birthday super intendent of the Sodor Railway, I love you with all my heart. I'm just sorry I don't have 2 hearts to love you even more.

Daddy.

Not done with Tokyo yet.

Tokyo Tower.
The view from the tower.
It's that way.
Exclusively.

Different places, same reaction.

Every time Luca gets tired, or doesn't want to do something. He does this.
So far, I've documented 4 different places, I'm sure I'll find more evidence later, and if I do, You'll see it.

Leon, Guanajuato. Mexico.

Guanajuato, Guanajuato, Mexico.

Ensenada, B.C. Mexico.


MOMA, New York.

Lucas visits the Getty.

So I finally started consolidating all these pictures I've taken of the Luca.
I'm yet to be done with the colossal task but here go some of them.
This time we went to the Getty, and for some reason He kept sticking his tongue out.
The pictures prove it

Father's Day.

Hadn't had such a nice day in a long time.
Thank you.

"Then there was trouble"

That's Lucas' favorite phrase when he's being naughty.
(From Thomas and friends. Just in case you're uncool and don't know.)

Harajuku at night.

More Tokyo tomorrow, maybe some Luca.

Empty Streets.

Apparently not much goes on in Tokyo before noon and the streets are almost deserted.
I like it that way.

Insomnio.

Me caga el no poder dormir por que el no dormir me lleva a pensar.
Resulta que el pensar y yo no nos llevamos bien.

This picture is in honor of our friend Nidhi.

She's in part responsible for me going there and I know she's a big fan.

Algo que no pasa muy a menudo.

Mi facha en lugares publicos.

Big shoes in Harajuku.

Some temple, I forgot it's name though.

Narita Airport.

Does my butt look big in these pants?

Shibuya Station.

Advertising galore!!!!!!

while we wait for more Tokyo scenes....

Here's the boy.

It's his blog after all.

This is what tokyo felt like to me.

To some people, Tokyo may seem intimidating, some may consider it cool. I will have to disagree with those two points.
To me, it seemed overwhelming at first sight, then it became as normal as any big city like New york, Mexico city, Madrid or Bombay.(Never been to the latter two but I know I'll go to at least one of them), after becoming normal I started noticing certain things like: Everything is so damn expensive, take clothes for instance, they sell a lot a crap for ridiculous amounts of money, stuff that feels cheap to the touch and overall looks bad by itself and, here's where the secret lies.
Japanese people have an awesome sense of style but its all owed to their magnificent knack for combining clothes.
That, and, the fact that they don't seem to give a rat's ass about conventionalism; Is what sets them apart from the rest of the world when it comes to fashion.
Some fashion photos coming your way later.

I miss my boy.

Can't help it.

Vending machines in Tokyo sell hot happiness for 120 yen.

Yes indeed, Coffee in a can.

It's really early and Loulou is still asleep.

We arrived at Narita Airport yesterday at 4 in the afternoon (local time) Which for us was something like midnight.

Don't know what they were feeding us but it was delicious!!
