It brings back such great memories. Angel was so little, time has really flown. So if you can't go on Christmas vacation and you need a little break, check this out!!

Change of Plans- Off to School we go!!

So a change of plans. Change is good!! I am going back to school. It's been 13 years since I been a program with exams and where lots of studying is involved. Yikes! But it's all good.

It's what I prayed for, meditated for and projected. I was sooo happy yesterday you couldn't wipe the smile off my face if you tried! That is when I got the final okay!! So I am in a deep state of gratitude!

It's a good program at a great school here in Vancouver. It's Emily Carr! And the program is funded. It was quite the odd situation as it's only funded for people who have very low or no income.
Sadly that's me.

I've tried. I think you can see that, I have tried with my blogging, my photography, my web design, my social media, my videos, my book publishing. Yet it's not enough. I don't have quite the right skills the industry is calling for. I was stuck. I couldn't upgrade because I didn't have the funds.

Now though, I have been very blessed and this will all change. I will be learning more Wordpress, using current design applications like the latest Adobe programs and I'll be learning how to make apps. And that's a biggy.

Angel knows more about apps than me. I asked her...so if someone wanted to know what are apps and what are they for? What would you tell them.. and she launched into all this.
1. games
2. tips
3. games w/tips for real life gaming. -I didn't know this :(
4. most important- they have to be fun- or if they are boring everyone will uninstall (smart kid!)
5. Cost- Free- $1 or $2 - paid apps are usually $1 she tells me.

So what else do I need to know.
Well she says...
Will it have physics? What will the controls look like and where will they be?

And she goes on...

So see I have to catch up. I have to go back and learn because I am only 51 and in Canada we have to work to 67 to get retirement...I have a long ways to go and I have to take care of my girl. I want the best for her that I can give. I want to learn this new technology and use it in a "green way!"

Something cool happened. Have you heard of the GREEN SCHOOL? http://www.greenschool.org/ I saw something on CBC about it and then googled it and found a Tedtalks video and learned a lot more.

I would love for Angel to go there. Wouldn't it be so cool for us to go there for a year and then go to Zipolite and try and start one there.

Well that's my new dream/goal.

So until then we are both in school. Angel has to go to school if I go. So we are school kids together now and unfortunately we won't be going to Mexico this year. Well not until at least March...when my program ends and then only if miracles happen and we have the funds.

We sure will miss it, but Angel did want to spend Christmas here, so we are all getting our wishes to come true.

Isn't life AMAZING!!

Anyways, I just wanted to share that I put some little support thingys on the right side there. Since I will be super busy with the program and they really discourage you from working while in the program as they want you fully committed...things are going to be tough...when aren't they..right!

But at least after this program things will get better.

Anyways,
- if you like our blog,
- if the videos made you smile,
- if the photos and music triggered wonderful memories or inspired your travel bug
then could you please share the love and support us and treat us to something. (See right sidebar)

We would be so very appreciative and we will definitely give you a shout out!!

Okay so that's the big news. If your heading to Mexico, especially Oaxaca and Zipolite, ENJOY!! Have a wonderful time, think a good thought for us while you are there and say hola to our friends. Almost everyone knows Angel ;) Please send our love and tell them we miss them. Here's a list of the people who definitely know us and if you visit them please let them know. Gracias. http://zipolitazstudioz.blogspot.ca/p/clientz.html

Hasta Luego, Tina aka Zipolita y Angel aka Angelita!

Watch the little boys dancing in this video...sooooooooooo cute!! This catchy music was stuck in my head. I think the headdresses are so cool and a fabulous idea. Watch for the golden angel, he was so beautiful. Angel did the best she could to take a photo of me and him, but some guy squished her she said :( and he wasn't very nice...so she was upset, but I just fixed it the best I could in PhotoShop. I got so nervous I forgot to take off my glasses. It's one of those moments you'd like to redo but it is what it is. The last is Angel and I having a DELICIOUS cup of Hot Oaxacan Chocolate!! yummy!! You get to see how they make it!

To all our friends in Bucerias and anyone in the way of this, we are sending prayers for you and your homes and loved one to all be safe and I've included a Special Prayer, see below. Go Away Jova!!

Hurricane Jova

National Hurricane Center

Hurricane Jova slows off Mexico's Pacific coast

By Miguel Angel Gutierrez and Mica Rosenberg

MEXICO CITY | Mon Oct 10, 2011 11:44pm EDT

(Reuters) - Hurricane Jova weakened slightly on Monday night as it headed for one of Mexico's busiest cargo ports and popular tourist resorts along the country's Pacific coast.
The storm, with top winds reaching 120 miles per hour, was about 155 miles southwest of the port city of Manzanillo late on Monday, the Miami-based National Hurricane Center said.
Jova is expected to make landfall on Tuesday afternoon northwest of Manzanillo near the resort towns of Melaque and Barra de Navidad, on a stretch of coast dotted with fine beaches. Read More

We were given this book, it's about angels- BOOK OF ANGELS by Francis Melville.
http://www.amazon.com/Book-Angels-Guidance-Comfort-Inspiration/dp/0764154036

I swear the angels have really listened and helped so many times, with little miracles and big. I took that book to Mexico and back and it holds a very special place in my life and heart.

There is a special prayer for hurricanes.

I hope it's okay with you Francis. I really think we need them right now. And the more people to share this prayer the better. So please share, it can not hurt, it can only bring us closer together. Positive energy is what we need.

For Hurricanes
In the name of the all- powerful Creator
I invoke you, great Angel Zamiel,
As the Angel of Hurricanes,
To calm the fury of this terrible storm.
May you divert it from it's path from the most vulnerable places
to blow itself out where few can come to harm
I honor and thank you for hearing my prayer
In the name of the Almighty.

He also states "Your invocation should be addressed to the four winds, starting in the east and working clockwise". Any number of candles may be burned. Visualize the calm of the storm and imagine drawing in the winds spiraling around it, calming them until all is still and peaceful.
* Be VERY CAREFUL WITH CANDLES! Never leave them unattended. Watch out for kids and pets.

Mexico- West Coast-Hurricane BEATRIZ- Say a Prayer Please

Blog post by Tina Winterlik © 2011

http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.com
(This is being cross posted on Tina Winterlik & Adventurez in Mexico)

There is a hurricane hitting Mexico's West Coast today. Please I ask you to take a moment and say a prayer, to think a calming thought...for winds to calm, for water to calm...for Mother Earth to calm down, for the wind and the rain to calm. I am praying for all the wonderful people in those areas that we met when we travelled, for friends and families. I am sending this little angel to watch over you all. Please God look after all these wonderful people and keep them out of harms way. Please Mother Nature, let there be peace and calm.---

Do you ever wonder if all the tensions and negative energy around us create these negative events in nature? I heard a man speaking recently saying that we are one with nature...we are not outside nature. Perhaps if we all calm down, Mother Nature will calm down.

Semana Santa-Holy Week in Oaxaca City Mexico 2010

Blog post by Tina Winterlik © 2011

http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.com

We had the greatest time in Oaxaca City last year. We got to stay 17 days. We were very very blessed.

It was a really special time. It was an opportunity for both Angel and I to learn about Mexican traditions and to celebrate Easter in a different way than we had in the passed.

We met old friends and made lots new ones.

We visited Santa Domingo, a 500 year old church and Monte Alban - the famous Oaxacan Ruins and visited El Tule- a 2000 year old tree.

We learned how chocolate was made and we drank LOT of chocolate milk.

We bought wonderful souvenirs, hand made and hand embroidered velvet tops, pottery, green and black. We hung out in the Zocalo and saw parades. We got fresh fruit from the market everyday and had fresh squeezed orange juice everyday. Yum! We had the best time. I really miss it!

So I just made the video you saw, I'm improving all the time, below is a video that was made last summer, when I came home. I used Animoto , I really loved them, but it's really nice to make your own videos, so stay turned.

Join Adventurez in Mexico as we watch a parade in the Zocalo, we buy some Almond Treats and check out the activities as they prepare for Semana Santa

Santa Domingo in Oaxaca- an incredibly gorgeous 500 year old church!
