El Perdedor

El perdedor
July 25, 2014


El Perdedor
Enrique Iglesias ft. Marco Antonio Solis
Qué más quieres de mí
Si el pasado está a prueba de tu amor
Y no tengo el valor
De escapar para siempre del dolor
Demasiado pedir
Que sigamos en esta hipocresía
Cuánto tiempo más podré vivir
En la misma mentira

No, no vayas presumiendo, no
Que me has robado el corazón
Y no me queda nada más
Si, prefiero ser el perdedor
Que te lo ha dado todo
Y no me queda nada más
No me queda más...

Ya no puedo seguir
Resistiendo esa extraña sensación
Que me hiela la piel
Como invierno fuera de estación
Tú mirada y la mía
Ignorándose en una lejanía
Todo pierde sentido
Y es mejor el vacío que el olvido

Yo prefiero dejarte partir
Que ser tu prisionero
Y no vayas por ahí
Diciendo ser la dueña de mis sentimientos

No, no vayas presumiendo, no
Que me has robado el corazón
Y no me queda nada más
Si, prefiero ser el perdedor
Que te lo ha dado todo
Y no me queda nada más

No, no vayas presumiendo, no
Que me has robado el corazón
Y no me queda nada más
Si, prefiero ser un perdedor
Que te lo ha dado todo
Y no le queda nada más
No me queda más...

Qué más quieres de mí
Si el pasado está a prueba de tu amor

The Body is a Temple of the Holy Spirit

The Body is a Temple of the Holy Spirit
July 25, 2014
By: Gina Yoryet Roman


It took me a couple of bad reactions towards certain food I was tolerant to, before I realized that my body has changed substantially over the years. For the last eighteen months, I’ve experienced a series of bad reactions towards very specific food items. For instance, just yesterday I had a couple of guests over for late lunch. I stupidly and unconsciously had a few bites of chorizo here and there, without remembering that it is PORK! Of course I didn’t digest it well AT ALL since I had not had it in more than ten years! I woke up at the crack of dawn with a very sharp pain in my stomach which caused me insomnia for the rest of the early hours of this day.

Prior to yesterday when I decided to be a piglet, I was doing my best to detox from low quality food and I was doing real well until then. I was trying my own recipe. A water mix with small chops of eggplant and a few slices of lime. I was also walking everywhere for two reasons: 1. My car was at the shop due to a small bender I was involved in, two weeks before. 2. I wanted to feel more confident about my radio talk about health and fitness (The different blood and body types) on July 24 (yesterday), on 105.9 FM, Simplemente Adriana.  I feel better overall but my temple is still very feeble because of the lack of strength exercise. My acupuncturist clearly indicated that I should stay away from strenuous physical routines, otherwise I will never recover from my physical injuries any time soon.

As an independent woman, I must admit that it is VERY difficult for me to follow orders and sometimes I can sabotage a faster recovery. Yesterday when I went to my acupuncture appointment, I tried to put myself in my acupuncturist’s place and resolved to do as I am told without complaining from now on, otherwise I won’t reach physical wellness now or ever if I continue pressuring my temple too much.

That’s why the older I get, this bible verse that I keep using over and over, resonates in my stubborn mind every morning when I hop out of bed.

19Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? 20For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.

Today when I went to evaluate a couple to put them on a nutritional plan and a physical routine, I wrapped up with this wise phrase and they really loved it. I can’t wait to see the results in four weeks when I see them next. People like them, who rely all their trust in me, entice me to fight harder, they are the fuel that keep my spirit alive...

I want it real and I want it here and now

I want it real
and I want it here and now
July 15, 2014
By: Gina Yoryet Roman



I am elated, but first and foremost, I’ve been captured in a bubble of peace and harmony. That solemnity I always long for, and which almost seems like a mirage when I am entrapped in the tempest of life.

This time it is not a delusion, it is a reality, MY truth that is slowly and tenderly developing day by day...
If it were up to me, I would  have it here and now but after trial and error, I am well aware that only fools rush in, that's why I want to save the best for last.

Today I am ecstatic when I close my eyes and envision that it is NOT a mere illusion of my deceitful imagination and my throbbing heart, but the certainty that there’s someone, somewhere, in this planet who yearns for spiritual, personal, emotional, physical, professional, and financial fulfillment as much as I do, and best of all, that someone is envisioning it in congruence with the woman I am looking at in the mirror right this second...

That is the best of all victories and glories!

When I was driving today, silence revealed the answers.

A healthy weight loss tactic


A healthy weight loss tactic
July 13, 2014
By: Gina Yoryet Roman


I’ve attempted to write in the last couple of days but at the same time I’ve been trying to stay away from the computer for two reasons. One of them is to avoid sitting down for so long - a great part of my work requires me to use the computer, therefore I don’t move around enough. The second reason is because my right arms hurts I guess from using the computer for long hours.

Let’s see how much I can withstand it this time...

Earlier this week I thought about this popular weight-loss strategy that a few people have mentioned in the past here in Guadalajara. I am unaware as to how many have actually tried it or if it really works, I have yet try it myself just once to see what kind of outcome I get because I have never taken any kind of supplement or anything to lose weight, I rather work out and maintain a healthy diet. Dieting has never been my best allies, that’s why I have never done it. I do strongly support a healthy diet (even when it is one of the toughest challenges for me) and working out even now despite my physical limitations. 

This ‘miraculous water,’ as it is known, holds many benefits, now I really want to try it!
  1. It helps reduce belly fat.
  2. It’s a good weight loss method.
  3. It helps reduce cholesterol.
  4. It lowers blood pressure.

Among other healthy benefits. The recommended consumption amount is one liter a day. BUT we have to make sure to supplement that with a healthy diet! Sometimes people are under the impression that they can pack down everything every day but we have to be careful. Sure, we can indulge every once in a while since we are humans but we have to keep in mind to burn more and eat less!

Here’s the recipe:

1. Slice one or two eggplants and boil them.
2. Once they are boiled, pour them in a water jug and add a few slices of lime.
3. Let them sit in the fridge for a couple of hours, or depending on how cold you want it. 
  1. Add some chia seeds (which also contain a lot of healthy benefits).
  2. Don’t add sugar. 

Now you’re good to go!

Frequency? It depends on how fast you want to lose weight and shed the grease wrapped around your belly. Anything in excess is NEVER good!
Sometimes I alternate ginger tea two days a week and green tea another two days a week to help my blood flow better but I don’t necessarily stick to anything every day.

5 more minutes

5 more minutes
July 11, 2014


While at the park one day, a woman sat down next to a man on a
bench near a playground.

"That's my son over there," she said, pointing to a little boy
in a red sweater who was gliding down the slide.

"He's a fine looking boy," the man said.
"That's my son on the swing in the blue sweater."

Then, looking at his watch, he called to his son,
"What do you say we go, Todd?"

Todd pleaded, "Just five more minutes, Dad. Please?

Just five more minutes." The man nodded and Todd continued to
swing to his heart's content.

Minutes passed and the father stood and called again to his son.
"Time to go now?"

Again Todd pleaded, "Five more minutes, Dad.
Just five more minutes."

The man smiled and said, "O.K."

"My, you certainly are a patient father," the woman responded.

The man smiled and then said, "My older son Tommy was killed by
a drunk driver last year while he was riding his bike near
here. I never spent much time with Tommy and now I'd give
anything for just five more minutes with him. I've vowed not to
make the same mistake with Todd.

He thinks he has five more minutes to swing.

The truth is, I get five more minutes to watch him play."

Life is all about making priorities, what are your priorities?

Silence reveals the answers, Prayers provide solutions

Silence reveals the answers
Prayers provide solutions
July 8, 2014
By: Gina Yoryet Roman


It’s 10:00 am and I am growing impatient (patience has never been one of my virtues) because my student has not shown up yet...

10:24
She just appeared!

7:00 pm,
Earlier today, I sat down quietly absorbing every single second of quietness. Those quiet  moments when I have a face off with myself have been my greatest inspiration to use my imagination and release my deepest emotions. I have always been very emotionally driven so why not release those sentiments through writing and share my thoughts with friends and family?

Towards the end of last month when I was required to write down my after thoughts about ‘Rules and Tools that Build Successful Women, How I Achieved Life, Work and Balance,’ I unleashed everything that was buried deep down in my heart. I spoke out very honestly and gave my reasoning for that. First and foremost, the woman warrior who gave birth to me and who’s taught me to never give up, my sisters, my female best friends (Rosie, Norma, Jenny, etc.), my female mentors and all the successful women in my life. All these women are the real ‘why.’

After thoughts:
Being part of HERspectives is yet another long-sought victory.
A  childhood dream turned into passion, a passion diverted into reality. A verdict that reveals my essence and proves that obstacles are nothing but tiny matters. These principles were written very enthusiastically and every word that comes out of my heart and soul has a reason. ´YOU!´ and millions of women worldwide for you to resonate with it all and keep going despite all the stumbling blocks lying ahead.

Ayn Rand once stated,
“I want to see, real, living, and in the hours of my own days, that glory I create as an illusion. I want it real. I want to know that there is someone, somewhere, who wants it, too. Or else what is the use of seeing it, and working, and burning oneself for an impossible vision? A spirit, too, needs fuel. It can run dry.”

My spirit would´ve run dry long ago had I not had a reason. Yet, I found it and that´s what´s ignited me and kept me going...

This morning I thought of this victory and emphasized the why. Then I meditated about my whole life in general.
I am the ‘who,’ the protagonist of my own existence that’s why since I was a little girl I have yearned for the answers of why, when, how, which, what, where. To this day during my prayers I still question all the aforementioned.
How did I end up being Gina Yoryet, why does my bond with my faith and spirituality grow stronger every day?
Why was I so beautifully blessed with such a big family?
Why do I always challenge myself to thrive higher and better, why do I love my job and helping others through my skills and knowledge?
What led me to develop a profound love for health and fitness?
When and how was I pulled towards charity work?
When was my interest for reading developed?
Why, when, how, where did my dream for a game called words turn into a passion and when did that passion divert into ‘MY’ reality?
What is the purpose of my ALWAYS being so speculative and reflect about even the littlest things in life?
When and how did I learn to embrace and welcome the simplest things in this universe?

Today that peace of mind, those moments of quietude revealed the answers to all the questioning. I was meant to be a woman with a very powerful mind who dreams,  sometimes plans, works arduously, thrives, achieves, a woman who finds it necessary to share her skills and wisdom with others. Someone who tries to change her life by helping others to change theirs. All my why’s and reasons are intertwined, one has slowly and progressively led to another and they have backed up each one of my ABC’s to help me remain spiritually, emotionally and physically resilient.

Praying has always provided solutions, when I leave everything to the divine power above me, it all works out sooner or later...

Now that I've found my reason, I don't want my spirit to ever run dry.

Es tan fácil romper un corazón

Es tan fácil romper un corazón
Miguel Mateos
July 6, 2014

Si me llamás y te dan ganas,
podría decirte tantas cosas,
yo que vos, no jugaría,
con situaciones tan peligrosas.
Las abuelas buscando bebés,
bajo las luces de neón, neón,
y yo encadenado en mi habitación,
esperando que llames,
como un tonto y su primer amor.

Es tan fácil romper un corazón,
Es tan fácil romper un corazón,
te alejarás, luego volverás,
Oh, es tan fácil romper un corazón,
Es tan fácil romper un corazón,
y es tan tonto el amor,
que se deja atrapar,
por un corazón que no sabe amar.

Puedo gritar, puedo esperar,
porque tengo el alma dispuesta.
Y aún perdido como un disparo en la obscuridad,
sigo adelante buscando respuestas,
mientras tanto empujamos el mundo,
para verlo rodar y rodar,
como chicos pateando un balón,
creyendo ser, dos bandos en un callejón.

Es tan fácil romper un corazón,
Es tan fácil romper un corazón,
te alejarás, luego volverás,
Oh, es tan fácil romper un corazón,
Es tan fácil romper un corazón,
y es tan tonto el amor, que se deja atrapar,
por un corazón que no sabe amar.
No me lastimes,
porque conmigo
habiendo tantos corazones heridos
Es tan fácil romper un corazón...

The beginning of a new stage

The beginning of a new stage
S. & A. Summer camp

By: Gina Yoryet Roman


S. J. J. R., precious,

I hope that you have a wonderful, relaxing and quiet time during camp weekend.
I also want to tell you that I miss you dearly and that I think about you every day and I am counting the days until I see you next.

I want to share many special moments and walk you through life in this new beginning, this new stage as an adolescent in which you will encounter many ups and downs like a roller coaster. It sounds intimidating, doesn’t it? Well, don’t let it because I am quite certain that with the principles, morals and values that both your parents have taught you, you will blossom into an amazing woman because your good nature will reveal sooner or later.

Keep in mind that your grandmother and I are always thinking about you and we wish nothing but the best. You can always come visit us, it would be wonderful to have you here with us.

Take lots of pictures and have a lot of fun!

I love and miss you dearly.

Your aunt Georgie



A. B. J. R.,

Sweet heart, I am just as excited as you for this nice retreat in which you will have a chance to refresh and spend time with many children your age. Take advantage of this great moment and many more to come.

Sweetie, I can’t believe time has gone by so quickly and you are closer to growing into a young man. I am very glad to be your aunt and I want to share many special moments with you filled with joy and happiness.

Take a lot of pictures and send them to me, I want to live the experience when I look at all your pictures, I want to see you filled with energy and enthusiasm.

I love you and I am proud of you!

Your aunt Georgie

On the road to recovery

On the road to recovery
July 1st, 2014
By: Gina Yoryet Roman

About two weeks ago I ran into my downstairs partier neighbor. The first thing I noticed about him, was the colorful patches on one of his knees. It turns out that it was KT tape,
an elastic sports and fitness tape designed for muscle, ligament and tendon pain relief and support.

WHAT IS KINESIOLOGY TAPE?
Whether you’re training for your first marathon, getting ready for your next game, reaching a personal fitness goal, or just trying to get through the day, you already know that nothing slows you down faster than pain and injury. KT TAPE is lightweight, comfortable to wear, and can be used for hundreds of common injuries such as lower back pain, knee pain, shin splints, carpal tunnel syndrome, and tennis elbow, just to name a few.
KT TAPE not only looks good, but it also provides 24 hour relief per application for days at a time through sweat, strain and humidity, and can even be worn in water thanks to our specially designed adhesive.

I immediately asked him where I could get it and he recommended me to go to his  Physiotherapist to get checked and for her to apply the tape. Not only did Gemma understand the gloomy and painful year and a half I’ve spent trying to recover at no avail, but she also helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel once again.

“I want pink, orange, blue, bright purple and the colors you have, just apply them all over the place,” I told her. What I didn’t know is that the color of the tape indicates the intensity of the injury, every day is a new learning experience and I thought I was real close to knowing almost ‘everything’ about health and fitness!

Anyhow, it’s only been a day and I can feel a substantial difference. I can just picture myself jogging, running, sprinting and surging all over the place on the road to marathon land once again! I have to build strength and endurance and regain discipline and self-control! I find it a lot more challenging now but as long as I am physically well, I am confident that I will prevail with my fitness allies!

I can't upload the pictures I took today!!!
