One Year & Counting

Thank you!! A thousand times, thank you, to all those readers that keep reading and sharing. Love you guys with every molecule in my body!! Looking foward for this coming year, hope you guys are ready cause some changes are coming to the blog!! (Good ones! :) VB Production and I cant express how grateful we are!!

December 22, 2o12

Today was a pretty long day!! Woke up early, to see my beautiful dog on my bed. Spoke with a couple of my crew and talked about the upcoming anniversary of the blog. Worked on some applications for university, and wrote a morning post. At noon I got ready to go do some last minute Christmas shopping and had a great time in the stores. Went to the mall's local Starbucks and bought myself a coquito frappuccino! ;)

Walked around and marveled the Christmas decorations and then headed back home. On my way home I took a beautiful sunset picture of the road, once home started wrapping all of the gifts!! God I cant wait for Christmas Eve!!

___________________________________________________________

Hoy fue un día muy largo!! Me despierto temprano para ver a mi  hermosa perra acostada en mi cama  Hable con mi equipo a ver que podíamos hacer para el aniversario del blog. Al mediodía me prepare para hacer unas compras navideñas de ultima hora. En  el mall vi un Starbucks y me compre un Coquito frappuccino! ;)

Camine un poco y vi las decoraciones y me fui para casa! De camino a casa le tome una foto al atardecer y cuando llegue empece a envolver los regalos!! Dios mio no puedo esperar hasta la víspera de navidad! 

Easy Breakfast for those Early Wakers

A great way to start your morning is by having a great breakfast with coffee!! ( Or tea, or hot chocolate idk. You guys decide its your morning it need to go the way you want it to be! But I love coffee so yeah! hahaha) Today as a present from VB Productions to you guys we want to share our easy breakfast recipe! We eat this the days we happen to be in a rush and need to go bolting out the door really early in the morning for a photo-shoot or film. Its really easy to make and its done in a matter of minutes! 

The things you will need are:

1. Two Eggs

2.  Two slices of Ham (Any type of ham!)

3. Cheese (Any type of cheese as well!! I personally like swizz.)

4. Salt & Pepper, the perfect yin & yang!

5. Two slices of Bread

6. Butter or Olive oil (Or both!!)

Lets get Cooking:

1. You place a  nonstick pan on top of the stove and add about one tablespoon of butter or olive oil! We want to create a light cover to soften the surface of the pan so the eggs can come out nice and soft. Turn the stove on, and put it in low medium. 

2. Crack open your eggs into the pan. If the olive oil starts spitting that means you have the fire to high, lower it. In a few seconds the egg will start changing color. Cook till the whites of the eggs are set and good to go, and the yolk is still runny. While your eggs cook put your slices of bread on the toaster and wait for them to toast.

3. With your spatula flip over the egg and wait 20 seconds to make an over-easy egg. This will cook a bit of the other side but it will leave the yolk runny. If you want the egg yolk to be harder than leave it there for one minute. If breads are done being toasted, place the slices on a plate. Lower the fire on the pan and with a spatula remove your eggs and place them on top of the bread. 

4. Grab your two slices of ham and place them on the pan. Wait a few seconds till the side of the ham is a bit golden. Flip and wait for the other side to be golden as well. Once done turn the stove off and remove the slices of ham. Roll them up and place them on top of your eggs. Grab a small handful of pepper and salt and apply to the surface of your eggs and ham, to give it a bit of more taste. And bam your done!! 

To complement your easy breakfast, you can buy cupcakes  or fresh fruits from your supermarket or local markets. Adding another healthy choice to your morning! (The cupcake I had was a pumpkin one, mmm it was so good!) Hope you enjoy this recipe from the crew of VB Productions!! Enjoy and "Buen Provecho" ( Enjoy your meal!)

La Feria!

Ah the fair!! it is the closest thing Puerto Rico will ever have to an amusement park. Sadly it comes once a year, at the beginning of Christmas till the end of June. The fun thing about this fair is that I really don't remember much about it! I remember my last visit was like two years ago, and I had a great time. Couldn't get on everything but I had a great time. This year I got on everything to the point that they shut down the amusement park in order for us to realize they were closing down. In other words they kicked us out. 

What I love about the fair is the fact that its functions as a portal to the old world. To the time where people listened to Elvis Presley and admired Marilyn Monroe . A time where teens where starting to be independent. A period of TV and radio rising to fame. A period known as the golden age of America, the fifties!!

One thing that shocked me about this fair was that they had bump cars and the old ones!! You don't see those anymore to the point that I saw elderly people making the line to ride with their grand kids. Why wouldn't they?? That was one of their rides in their times. So an overall of everything, it was a really great experience. I made friends with an Emu (Bird like animal that has huge similarity to an ostrich) and played with my fellow VB Production team!! Merry Christmas to you all and thanks for everything Nana, Sami, Bianca & Scott love you guys!! 

Tips For When Buying New Clothe

If you know your closet youll know what works with what you have. Youll know what your missing and what you need! If you go to buy clothe with the right company you will most likely make better choices than buying with someone that is constantly rushing you. Plus youll have a lest possibility of making a bad choice! 

Take pictures when you try out your clothe in the changing booth that way you can see your clothing and how it looks through the eyes of a camera. That way you ca say if you like it and if you feel comfortable with it!

Know yourself! If you know who you are and what you love, you wont have a problem choosing your clothing. Find your style, find what suits you. For last ask yourself the golden questions. If your clothing pass through each of this challenges than your clothing is perfect for you! 

Changing booth the New Photo Booth

Now a days finding a good photo booth can be quite a journey. Especially now, that technology is rising and most of the stuff we couldnt do, now we can with just a click of the finger. So for those who have a bit of a vintage nostalgia and want to keep following the traditions with your own modern twist, I am going to tell you guys one of my versions of a photo booth which so happens to be a changing booth!! 

When I go on a shopping rampage, I am the first willing to try new clothe. I am obsessed with jackets and its many families like sweaters, cardigans, hoodies, etc. Therefore when I choose all of the clothe (or jackets!) I want to try, I call for a worker and tell them "i wish to try the clothe on." The workers ever so kindly open the door to the changing booth not knowing what is to happen in there. I go in and boom!! The booth is my own personal photo studio, I go crazy with the camera and take as many photos as I want. There is a reason for it! Ill explain later in another post.

Once done trying out the clothe I look at the pictures and decide what im taking and what stays. Then with the many apps we have now a days for editing, I give the pictured a bit of lomo-ish, vintage feel to it. One way or another creating my own personal photo booth in a changing booth!

I encourage you guys to try it out and send the pictures to us so we can make a collage and show it on the blog!! Looking forward to hear from you guys!! You can send them via:

Tips from Bosch: Loving yourself will help you love others!

I figured since today is 12-12-12 and people are speculating its the end of the world why not take a last picture for the blog. But the difference about this picture among others that I have taken is that this one is really simple. Simple pose and my really shitty and yet simple webcam and me!! No fixing makeup at last minutes, no combing my hair, nada, nothing! Its just me in my favorite holiday hoodie and drinking great coffee! I didn't even brush my teeth before taking this picture, lol!! I wanted to share with you guys something that I learned from this small spiritual journey I underwent through. Something that might sound selfish but it really isn't and well might be of help to you. You gotta learn how to love yourself! You got to know yourself, what makes you who you are! Do you define yourself or does society choose who you are? Learn to trust yourself, your mind and body.Understand them, learn them cause they are what makes you!! Think about it!

Beautiful morning over here! Happy 12-12-12, hope you guys have a good day!!

Merry Christmas ;)

El Coquito

Coquitos are a traditional holiday puertorrican drink, that is well known among the island.  Its one of my favorite drinks for the holiday and its really easy to make. You may find the recipe similar to that of the eggnog but this one is more tropical and well in my opinion way better! So in this post as a gift from me and VB Productions, we want to give you our own recipe of this wonderful drink!

The materials youll need are as  mentioned below:

1.) 1 can of  Coconut Cream

2.)1 can of Sweet Condensed Milk

3.) 1 can of Evaporated Milk

4.) Cinnamon Sticks

5.) White Rum (Better of P.R. rum)

6.) Empty Glass Botles

Steps:

1. Open the can of coconut cream, sweet condensed and evaporated mil and pour them in the osterizer. 

2. Grab the cinnamon stick and shave the cinnamon that way you can have a more pure taste of cinnamon for your coquito. If you want to use ground cinnamon then use two tablespoons and put them with the rest of the mix.

3. Mix it all together in the blender and pour how much rum you want your coquito to have and blend it once more.  

4. Once you put the rum and blend it again, pour the now finished coquito onto one of the empty glass bottles and throw a cinnamon stick inside. Close the bottle and shake it. Voila!! Your done making your coquito. Put on the refrigerator for 30 minutes or more ( the colder the better) and enjoy!!

Christmas Wish List

Lets face it, we all still write letters to that imaginary being that wears a big red suit and scream
"ho ho ho" at Christmas eve!! Dont try to hide the fact, yeah im talking to you! All of you write letters of things you want for Christmas so people have an idea of what to buy you right! So yeah that counts as a christmas list!! And who is to judge you?? Me, your parents, your friends, society?? NO!! You sit down and write that letter cause fellow readers, I have one as well!! LOL!! 

All I want for Christmas is:
1. Lord of the Rings Extended Blu-ray edition (cause im a nerd for it and my precious is calling me!! ;))
2. Billabong Surfboard ( Its time for a new one!! Mine is sort of old!!)
3. Red Vans Baseball Jacket ( I love old school and vintage stuff and this will give my soul a bit of vintage nostalgia.)
4. Coffeemaker ( I dont have one and desperately need one to function during my day!)
5. Books ( really dont care what type of books, encyclopedias, novels, their old favorites! Just something new!!)
6. Oakley Frogs ( I love those glasses!!)
7. Vans Shoes ( need new pair mine are about to go bye bye!)

Shoes that Bloom

Finally a store that goes with my believes!! The OAT Shoes store believe we are all connected, that's why they have their special brand of shoes. They believe in a future in which mankind & industries re conciliate with nature as one. They state that we come from earth, we grow in it, play around it and die in it. But this past few years we have been ignorant for it. We have been ignoring the fact that every small thing makes a big impact in our planet!! In order to make greener and stylish choices in life, they created this really  cool Eco-friendly sneakers, OAT shoes!!

This shoes are biodegradable but with style. The industry made them that way so that when your ready to get rid of them you can plant them in your backyard and in a matter of six month wildflowers will be blazing and growing in your backyard!! Isn't that beyond amazing!! I believe all shoes should become biodegradable. Sadly they only have stores in Netherlands, Belgium and other parts in Europe, but it wont be soon till they come to the US!! God I want one of those shoes!! 

World Aids Day 12.1.12

Today December 01, people all around the world will come together as one not only to mark the 24th annual World Aids Day, but to make a difference. People today work together to raise awareness on how to prevent HIV and to ensure they take action. They are also raising hope and helping out those who sadly have already been affected. There are 33 million people infected around the globe by HIV/Aids. There are many lives that have been touch by it and today we can get to zero, one person at a time!

But, how can we do it when we are simply one?? Easy, gather your friend, parents, schools spread the word, tell them of the actions they must take in preventing HIV/AIDS. Do fundraisers that can be of help to HIV/AIDS organizations, and encourage others to do the same. Remember we have 365 days for us, spare one day for others. Focus on others problems and helping out at least one of those days and today could be a good way to start. Make a difference!! If you are intresting in learning and finding more ways on how you can help this cause visit worldaidsday.org!!

Congreso de Lideres

Sorry I havent been able to post about my thanksgiving adventure, its sort of a long story lol. But a story worth talking about, maybe on my next post. Today I want to talk about this convention/workshop I went to as soon as thanksgiving break was done. This convention took place on the Marriott in Condado, P.R and goes by the name "Congreso de Lideres"(Congress of Leaders.) Those two days were one of the most hardest and interesting days of my life. They truly helped me form and give shape to the way I want to tackle my future. They opened my mind to see how this world truly functions and how one way or another everything is connected. I understood that you create and mold your vision of the future, but life molds small pieces that make a huge different in the ending results. 

Every mistake is a coincidence! We must not fear mistake for it is from them that we truly learn. Thats one of the big things I learned there. Among others I learned that in this world if you want to get things done you have to do it yourself, not wait for others to think or make the decision first. If we come to see, it is you who need to make the difference not the others. Those things are just small samples of the great conversations we have with some of the most important leaders in our country like, Kurt Schindler, Edwin Rodrigues, John Richardson, etc, etc. 

All an all the experience was great and I had a vast amount of time to go exploring the hotel. The rooms were really comfortable and had great views of the ocean. The food was beyond great, and I had an opportunity to experience a fancy meeting of the San Juan Rotary club. All of this thanks to the work of two beautiful, great and interesting ladies. Hilda Brizzie and Vanessa Caban, truly did an amazing job creating and building this Convention and to them I have to give the biggest of thanks for letting me form part of that team and letting me go through all this wonderful experiences!!

BRB, Ill be Eating

Today is Thanksgiving and we really wanted to tell you guys that we are thankful for all of our readers. We all love you alot and without you I wouldn't have the blog I have today. You guys are like my family and well I really wanted to thank you and my team for everything!! 

So devour you food with no regrets, Happy Thanksgiving! 

-Sincerely Bosch & VB Productions team

Zone Free of Discrimination

The world everyone lives in is so captivating and strange. Its haunting and beautiful. Its broken but its getting fixed and its full of mysteries and life. But one of the most captivating things in this world are the beautiful creatures that live there. Those fragile and yet strong creatures have come to  be known as humans. They have endured so many challenges since the beginning of time. They have endured extreme weathers, plagues,  wild environment, wars, different kingdoms and heritage, different will of power and prosperity, loss and many more things. Those events that are marked in worlds history books or encyclopedias have been overcome by people of different races, sexual orientation or physical status. 

Alexander the Great, great leader that brought the Greek empire to its golden glory and helped bring prosperity in many ways, like science, jobs, land, etc. As we all know he had several wife's but some of his true lovers were actually men. Especially his best friend Hephasteon. Does the world go on discriminating him of his attraction and feelings toward men? NO! (Maybe his few wife's  But either way, NO!!) Other great leaders are Mitchel Obama. She is black, do you think that stops her from moving forward and working hard for our country? No, oh but it gets better just the fact that she is a woman and black is enough prove of why my blog is a free discrimination zone!! Mitchel does an even harder work than men and focuses on ending what she started. This things are subject that human beings don't grasp. 

Don't judge a book by its cover! If you haven't had the decency to even read or browse the summary of the book. If the world sets apart their difference, there is this inner spark that kindles this small hope of progress and evolution inside of me. A change that can be for the better of this world and for the better future. Thats why im taking the step and announcing that this blog is as stated in the top in perfect Latin,  ZONA LIBRE DE DISCRIMINATION (Zone free of Discrimination!!)

Obama 2013!!

Barrack and Mitchel Obama are purely amazing!! They both have the heart and the spirit that scream I am american and I work to strive for the american dream. After winning the election he went to his campaign team and thanked them in person and in that beautiful speech he shed some tears in front of the cameras and everything. We have a great man as our president and a superb first lady. God Bless America!! I know you all might have seen the "Obama thanks his campaign" video, but I still believe I should post this in here in memory of him and his team! If you havent watch it look at the full video below.

Salvador Dali+Vouge & Playboy

So im browsing the internet, listening to great 60s music and drinking my coffee and I come across this!! Now I am in love with Salvador Dali's surreal art and style. To be precise he is one of my muse and my favorite artist of all time. Discovering that he had collaborated with Vouge & Playboy is really cool and funky. God Bless Dali! 

5 Awesome Horror Movies To See Before you Die

I love horror flicks! Ghosts, monsters, vampires, witches, demons you name it I love them all.  This are my top 5 horror movies you should see before dying a gruesome unexplained death or a good movie to rent out for this Halloween! Sincerely and with warnings! - Bosch

Nightmare on Elm Street (Original)

One of the things I love about this movie is that you cant really run away from the bad guy!! Freddie kills you in your dreams, not fair! I mean you could be dreaming that your having this hot date with Emma Stone and your about to kiss her just to see that she truly is a guy and not just any guy but Freddie!! Not cool! And have you seen his long ass knives! Those things can hurt you!! But either way Nightmare on Elm Street is a great horror classic. Beware when watching!

Let the Right One In

This movie is like the first twilight!! Who is not to say Stephanie Meyer did not see this movie first and then go on to dream that famous dream that made her books?? (kidding lol) 

But yeah even though the movie is a bit bloody and deadly this two kids make the whole movie seem cute. The way their love grows through out the movie is just beautiful.  In my opinion this movie is the best vampire love story ever made. The movie is in Swedish, but they had made an american remake not so long ago so you should check them out!   

Scream

This movie is like the stereotype horror film from the 90s. A masked murderer killing teens from this random small town, yep doesn't get better than that. This movie is really funny but it has its scary moments. To be honest this is one of my favorite scary movies. I love the way the killer kills and how everybody keeps talking to this random stranger who sounds like a pedophile and whine up dead. And the way the killer just falls around and gets his ass kicked by girls, show some girl power!!  Btw, how about a game, can you watch this movie alone in the dark with the caller id off??

Signs

To be honest this movie creeps me out. This is the reason why I had nightmares when I was a kid and panicked when the lights went out. This is just a simple alien horror flick that revolves around this family that is trying to cope in life due to the lost of one of their family members. The movie starts off slow but then you start to see things in their life similar to yours and in the end you are left thinking that all of that could happen to you. I really recomend you go watch it! I have grown to love this movie due to the fact that this movie was the one that got me started with my horror flicks obsession lol. The part where Joaquin Phoenix is watching a news of an alien sighting in mexico manages to still scare the crap out of me!! 

The Shining

Well this movie certainly made me cry. I saw this movie when I was like what 6 years old. I cried in this movie. I know I already said I cried like two times but I really cried. I was one of those kids that would always go on vaca. with his parents and have a great time but this movie made me think twice before going with them on another trip!! This movie is scary, like really scary and Jack Nicholson did a great acting job but he took his paper way too serious. Either way I rank this like a ,if you want to have horrible nightmares for a couple of days you should totally watch it, type of movie.

"Heres Bosch!!" Get it, cause im Bosch! Not funny I know I tried and if you didn't get the joke watch the movie then! 

Thoughtful Monday!!

Tolkien Week!!

Yes, unfortunately I am a nerd and obsessed fanatic of Lord of the Rings!! Most of my childhood revolved around Lord of the Rings. Everything I did, I thought of or even wrote of was based on Tolkien's work! He is so far my favorite author and for those of you who dont know "The Hobbit" is my favorite book! I have read it a couple of times and cherish it by heart. So as a tribute to my favorite author and my favorite book I will be having a second breakfast tomorrow and Saturday!!

Now I know! You must be wondering what I mean by second breakfast, but dont worry I will explain in the next sentence after this point. The hobbits in the book normally have a schedule dedicated to eating. We have breakfast, second breakfast, elevensies, luncheon, afternoon tea, dinner and supper!!  Yep all of that in one day!! So this post will clearly be dedicated for Tolkien Fans around the globe and to any who wishes to partake on this celebration. This Saturday, September 22nd we will be celebrating Bilbo's & Frodo's birthday. So fans and readers around the world will be doing a second breakfast in their name. And I made one myself!! I have decided on making and omelette filled with spinach and mushrooms, with toast and bacon on the side and coffee!!

The recipes may be found on the link below!! For the Omelette, cause im guissing all of you can cook your bacon! But either way this is my Second Breakfast recipe you dont have to do one exactly like mine! Alter it, create your own!! Send pictures to our blog of your second breakfast or even your experience and it might show up in our Facebook page and Twitter or even in our next post!! 

Happy Tolkien Week!!

 Omelette with Mushrooms and Spinach!

Share a Photo & a Thought: The Moon

The Moon

Majestic and beautiful she is. Teaching us of the phases of life, from death to rebirth.

Teaching us that in life we will have moments of illumination and others of pure darkness. 

Her phases shows us all that and even if in a new moon we can not see her, her essence is still there.

One way or another she tells us, we are immortals! For our memories will always live in the

hearts of those that love us, in pictures, in nature and in history. Our essence just like hers 

might not be seen once we leave this life, but it will be there. It will be there.

Book Review: Cloud Atlas

What if our souls reincarnated? What if our past lives way of life, thinking and doing stuff affected who we are today? What if we fall in love and when reincarnated we find this person once more??
Those are the "what if" questions that I have been asking myself when reading Cloud Atlas. Cloud Atlas is a novel written by David Mitchel. The novel is composes of six different stories that intertwine one way or another throughout the story. At first it might be a bit slow and it might loose you but once you start to click together the pieces of puzzle together it will take your breath away. 

David Mitchel managed to write a great  original science fiction that reveals how desperate people connect, how their fates intertwine and how their souls travel in time and stumble upon one another in a future. He manage to play with your mind with great philosophical and scientific speculation and in the end leaves you wondering and asking questions about the subjects he touches(like the ones I had!) I really liked the book and I believe you should all read it. I also believe they were making a movie out of it guess ill have to do a bit of research on that. But this being my first review of a book I would have to give it a pure four star out of four star!! Cause I really loved it! 

Men of Steel

Well my fellow readers the wait is over! Now that the Dark Knight has gotten the epic ending it deserves,  its time we had another great DC heroes come to the big screen. So I am happy to announce that the anticipated trailer for the new Superman movie has fallen on my hands. Before you judge or decide to stop reading the post because its for Superman, trust me when I tell you it is heading the right way!!

Im going to be honest the first two Superman movies are really good, but after those two they just started to go down hill. Superman Returns was enjoyable, it wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst either! For years Hollywood has tried to bring the great icon to the big screen with a great story but they haven't managed to do so. They always focus on his origin and on how he is weak to kryptonite.  This was not the case with this upcoming movie!

In 2010 David S. Goyer approached Christopher Nolan with an idea on how to present Superman in a modern context. Christopher Nolan impressed with the idea told the studio and eventually ended up as producer for the film. It is said the film will chronicle the entire life of Superman from the early days of Krypton to the end in which he looses his powers as the sun starts to undergo through supernova. In other words there will be more than one, we can be sure about that. 

Zack Snyder was chosen as director for the first film "Men of Steel" and casting was done as soon as possible. 

The cast consist of, Henry Cavill as Clark Kent/Superman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Russell Crow as Joe-El, and many more. Men of Steel is set to come to the big screen on June 14, 2013, but enough with the talking why not let you guys see the teaser itself. Comment below and tell me what you think! Do you think the movie has potential or will it be another failure??
