An End, a Beginning

It's weird how websites and virtual identities affect us. Well, maybe it doesn't affect you, but it affects me, I might be too geek.

I've started shoesandbooks with an idea of a girly blog, talking about life, men and you now...girly stuff. I wanted to share my stories, I wanted to share what I knew about men in order to help others and I wanted to know your knowledge too.

Of course, talking about men stops someday. Most of the time it stops when you meet THE one. And I know that I've met him. I have the most amazing boyfriend ever for over 6 months now. I never thought I could ever meet someone like him. The last letter, the last chapter of my book, I hope it will be D. I've never been so happy and I hope this is my happy ending.

Love exists. I can tell now. And it doesn't matter where and when you met him, what really matters is what you feel for him. Good luck to all of you that are still waiting, he will come !

I "killed" @shoesandbooks on twitter (!), I changed username so it's now my personal (international) account, you might have already noticed the change: it's now @yhoanis.

I invite you to follow me on @yhoanis or on my french account (regional tweets) @LaGeeke. 

Also, I have a new blog, techno-cultural-social blog, with is LA GEEKE :) as you may see, I'm trying to start my virtual life based on a more geeky side ;) Not that I'm not girly anymore!

Anyway, I will keep reading your posts and I invite you to add my new blog to your readings :)

I won't close www.shoesandbooks.com yet, I might have a little idea on how to re-use it (stay tuned!).

Love, M. S. (which, you may have noticed aren't my initials...but what does it mean? who knows...)

Playing with A.'s heart

I can't believe that some people have that much free time that they try to mess up others relationships.

Hopefully I'm not talking about my relationship with D. thanks God everyone seems to like him and I'm happy so everything's fine with that.

I'm talking about my ex A., let me refresh your memory, it's that cute peruvian guy I dated like a year ago. We dated for like a month in Peru and 3 months being like 6000km away from each other. I know it may sound like a lot (it sure is!) but for some people it actually works. I got some good friends that got married with their long distance man and they're still happy. It's not a friend that told his friend that told another friend that told a friend that told my brother that told me. It's really people I know. So, like a 10 years old girl, I believed it could work.

Lots of people were between us, they didn't want me to go out with a guy like him. Why? He's poor, doesn't have much education and he's an artist. Here it would be sexy, but in Peru...no. A woman like me needs a doctor, a lawyer or just someone REALLY ambitious (and if he's rich it's a +). Of course, I hate that kind of man (okay I can deal with the rich part...). Anyway, we're not together anymore, he dumped me for some random girl (he said he met her after but let's admit it girls...who really believes that?) I just realized he was way too far to have an healthy relationship and they were right, I need to feel proud of my man...not to buy everything for him.

The thing that happened these days (of course he's trying to get back to me and saying he misses me, typical latino, but I won't fall for him again) is that someone texted him saying something like: "I know you don't want me to send you messages but I'm sorry for our misunderstanding. Of course I'll be sending you a gift with my father." Why am I telling you that? Some days before, A. wanted to interchange gifts. He wanted to send me a gift and I send him one. Of course all he wanted was some special thing he needed and in exchange he would send me some random girly thing. I wasn't stupid, I said "no I can't". Then he received that SMS and it was definitely like I was sending him that text. He really thought it was me, he sent me an email telling me he was sorry, explained how to fix things so he could pick it up and told me "I miss you and love you". I was in shock, how could he still loves me?!

The thing is, I told him that I never texted him. That it's was mistake, that it wasn't me. And now he discovered it's a phone number in Peru. Someone is trying to mess things up between us...again. We're not even together anymore, we're just friends! He felt so stupid believing it was me sending him that message, apologized for his love declaration but still...who would be so mean to try to break his heart again? A. might still love me, it's not good to play with other people's heart. So I'm trying to figure out who did that, and if someone tried to mess up things before too that I wasn't aware of?

I don't want to believe it's one of my friends over there. Even if they say they were trying to protect me. Enough with overprotecting and controlling my life.
