Naughty American Clup

weekend report.

First a few details that you certainly want to read too, it just happens so much, because you can one or the other more or less important detail ever forget.

Roy, I even know you some time ago had met on the bus, was recently spanked the center to visit. I was just a little earlier than I was called from the gate of a person, it was Roy. He told me to wunk, looked very smart, clothing style, with sunglasses and completely modern. He brought three Wilberth bread, why and what I did not understand, but I did not care. He told me that he now only sometimes sleeps in the other rehab center, mostly with his mother in Alajuelita. He still sells things on buses, this time he had this sticker. He sent me down for 2 sticker sheets in hand, "for you .."... Benita then he wrote me a note with his number and the small note "from 6 clock call in the evening ... I should speak up. I'll do it not, why? but still was a nice gesture, I am glad that he's OK.

Jose, you might not remember him, he is one day before my first day got there. He had me until recently regularly given chocolate and letters written. Oh right, the first love letter. Mitlerweile he has given me his feelings of love over to another person. A girl who lives in Alajuelita and eats regularly at Funda Vida. Funda Vida is also a social organization, they include well represented in the center. Every day there is cooked and children and mothers who have little money for food, can lunch there, the children play well. To get this Essstelle must be carried by the center, almost running up the hill. At Funda Vida by then the entrance to the church. In any event, the Queen of Hearts by Jose eat there every day and so they have probably met. He regularly writes her letters and now even he is bubbling with good humor. Friday, he then had a love bite. Whether I have anything against allergy I was asked, I am only became aware of them. According to him, he has this mark but not by the girlfriend, but he got him Pavas. To Pavas later. There he worked at night with Guillermo as a night watchman. He fell asleep and during the he kissed a woman, probably a friend of Guillermo, who had invited this on the neck without it or did he knew, of course. All this according to Jose. He would believe himself that it is happening. I've just anyway accepted me and amused as he tries to make his neck look more red, so it really looks like allergy. Really fun!

to Pavas Now, I thought I had already told them, but I'm not sure .... The pastor has a project in Pavas. Pavas is a part of San Jose, where it is quite dangerous, for there is much poverty and many drugs (stimmt. I've seen it). There is a facility Pastor of the dressing can be straight, in which there is a soccer and basketball courts and a playground for children or intended to give the whole thing is under construction. There will be even meals there, working on a kitchen. Some Interns must therefore help in this project. Some have to work there during the day and help build, like Kevin, have two people at night and guard the premises. It seemed strange, then I was told that there all night, people would use drugs if no minders were there. At night there are always two interns on site. Last week I added Jose, says that before the site someone was shot, as he has just worked, and his Father was so very worried when he heard "Man shot in Pavas." And yes there where Jose was so straight. Details, he did not know the circumstances. For about a week, the pastor has even taken me then there. It is a fairly large area, almost like a small park, is certainly a nice place to play and eat. On the way back we went through some times of districts Pavas down that seemed Slumähnlich. If there were houses, they were small and dirty. Most of the huts were made of corrugated iron, you could see many children on the street and you could see the poverty people. Quite deliberately, the pastor has therefore chosen this area for such a project.

saturday I was so with Johnny at home. His mother and his little sister (4 months old) were not here unfortunately, but his aunt, grandmother, sister, cousin and brother got to know me. Aunt I already knew. Somehow, all lived there, as here even. Little privacy is as announced, why do it here all the way, I still do not understand quite. Everyone was very friendly to me and asked Johnny's grandma, if I would often times come. Johnny later I said then, according to his grandmother, I was a very pretty and nice. I can probably do quite well anyway.

... another drawing of Johnny. If one likes me because sometimes not.

Sunday I had then with Rodolfo, Johnny, and Raquel, the Tica-girlfriend, who was a year in Germany last year agreed to worship in my project. We did not stay long, but time for a "few" photos remained. The two Allan did not come, said David introduced me to his mother, who was living here in my block in Guadalupe. She has offered to take me home with you. Since we still wanted to go to San Jose, I said no thanks.

Carlitos right, left, sells, usually near the bus stop from my home on the street fruit or vegetable ...



David. Mitlerweile he has increased somewhat, Thank God, even if it does not look like that. A month ago, when he came to the center, he looked worse. As bad as he was then seen many people in Alajuelita, crack crack crack crack crack ....
2 weeks ago, David has given me a stuffed animal. This was shortly after Allan left the project. A sheep in which one can get a baby sheep from the bottom. Yes! Very cute! He said he had received from his brother. I then told him he should keep it but please, it's finally his brother. Then he said that he found it indeed sweet, but a bit gay to sleep with them. "And besides, Allan will understand when I tell him that first I gave the sheep did, because I love you very much have ... "


all the" stare "when I have pictures with all! You feel like a star. Somehow, I'm one too.

call
Leiman anything on.

Kevin ... we'll see, unfortunately only on Sundays, because he works during the day in the week in Pavas. He is 18 and has a 2 year old daughter with a 30-year-old. Sunday, he was pissed because the mother of his daughter wanted him to spend time with his daughter. Whatever. more remains unknown. It sounds like it just the problems and tries to cheer her up as best we can.

San Jose, Avenida Central, Sunday afternoon, a break dance group perform on.

Today I had a very interesting conversation with David. As for drugs he is very experienced, not only is he a drug addict, but also his two brothers and his father is an alcoholic, he knows the words with the psyche. He told me how to manipulate and lie all addicts. I had heard that before, in Germany, and again, I noticed a few times, especially because I have already anticipated this and have put so much faith in all not yet so secure statements. Anyway, he told me about this same survival strategy, on the street and then also a drug addict you have same or similar kind of food, drugs . Come You can tell already, that most people have two personalities there. In the center, or with me, they are super sweet, attentive, etc., but of stories, we know that they are on the road other people. I would personally address the most out of my project is not so much as unknowns in the street. This can already conclude that behind every still something infected.

David and I talked briefly about Jimmy, because the end is indeed his brother Allan left. David is angry with Jimmy, his solution is: he wants to go to him with a knife. When I held him and then completely shocked myself a little sour about this idea a dressing that I'm completely not at all favor and make me very angry, would the whole thing with a long and detailed explanation why, he was then kleinbei, probably to get me not to talk further. Later went to steal it, that some plug in, also at the center, things just lying around, or similar Then David said, "If you happen to you, then tell me who it was, then I call to friends of mine ... they will kill him. I should not do these things so, or you will become so acidic, but I have Friends who can make it for me. " HMM!
Anyway, I think the conversation has only made me more sensitive to lies and manipulation. Johnny, for example (the one still in Project), then asks me all the time to buy him a rope, with which he can make jump rope for sports. I then told him my trainer sells for about 2 € if he wants one, I can get him if he gives me the money. He often asked if I could not buy him. Until now I've gone out of the way of confrontation, but today I told him then told him that I would not buy the cable, since it makes no sense to me that he regularly got money for joints but not for the rope. Indirectly, I would also support that therefore drugs. He wanted to make me a bad conscience, as I would want to give anything, is after all not so much money (by the way it's more money for the people here than in Germany ...). However, it's me, purely a matter of principle, less about the money.
any event .... I had this idea with lying, etc. even before I got here, but forgets or Displace so things sometimes when you are so wrong on a daily basis with everyone there and almost quasi interconnected lives. One thinks containing different than most places but it is still just at the same level. Is after all what else ... but quite interesting.


The first strange for me pray before dinner, mitlerweile it is this:

The International Colour Chart (icc)

There's something going on ... New arrivals

For a long time today was really something going again. We're usually around 20 people in the center, because the remaining work out and come back when I'm long gone there. Today we were about 40 that day were in the center. This was among others also because so many new ones are there, and the new are first concerned with work in the center and leave the first project.

The new David has now tried to weave me a Bauernzopf, but unfortunately not quite work out. He said it was because my hair is cut stage. Secretly, I believe, however, that my grandmother Maria have done it would! Still, it was nice that he has worked so long with my hair and took me to also combed.

Johnny now had time to work not outside, so I've seen him today for the first time this week. He's a funny thing, but now he uses a rather strong personality and his predatory career can be quite intimidating. I'm trying to obstruct his Einschüchterversuche by I just me myself and represent my views and desires without letting myself be influenced by words. Thus I need not have to worry if she likes what I do or say, or not. That works fine as long as you believe that own ideas are the right people. He often asks people, ex-interns, people who work outside or if I once again take a trip to Limon (Kiff-state point 1) do to bring him a joint. I fight myself a strictly against it and although he was initially snapped always seem to accept it after all. He must ultimately yes.

Today I am sitting down with David and Carlos and begin teaching German. Basic expressions "How are you" etc. and the verbs "be" "have" and "must" were announced today. David is very diligent in learning, he treats me like a princess, "do what you want, Benita ."... precisely in such Situations, I ask myself before him on the street, he robbed people on the street has lived and consumed. It was time for my stolen cell phone, but I should put it between the breasts, where it is not stolen. In this context, he told me that he has been deprived of women and has them stolen the mobile phone between the breasts. Earlier, of course, everything used to be ... And so once again he tells a story of how he has accidentally stabbed a man to the ground as he wanted to rob them and this has resisted. David was on drugs and has only just thought about how to procure the next drug. And so one eats me out of my hand ... can probably only Positive meaning for me.

Before I left I gave Carlos then this ...
He then told me very shy, he has something for me, but do not know whether he should give it to me. It should not be misunderstood, even by the others. I just thought 'I've often been through here. I know how it runs when it is learned that someone gives me gifts, or I speak with a person more than the others. " I told him he should not worry. More and comments will come upon those to whom I give much attention, or dealing with me. I see it, but rather as jealousy on. Everyone would like to receive much attention, but it is simply, first, I can not share me, and secondly, there are characters with whom you get along better than others. If someone signals that he likes me, as he gives me much attention, of course honored me, and I am therefore friendly to the person who is not? Leiman recently made any comment on Rodolfo stenkernden (when he was still in the center) (we have finally worked for many weeks together in the kitchen) and me because we have a lot of talk. If he throws it against a similarly flippant comment term to indicate that the whole is one thing, the judge should just not at all, is something like "Benita did you already changed quite at the beginning you were different .."... you can feel jealousy. Because if you then it comes in, and want to know how he thinks that is just "Oh nothing ... just forget it ...". So they try to manipulate you. Many thoughts do you do in such situations, how should one react, how did they respond. Ultimately, I'm 90 percent sure that I react properly and I therefore have such or similar statements garkeine only need to worry. I enjoy attention just as I must reveal my limits when it is too. The hard job of Benita Rose. That was a bit ironic, but it's hard to believe: It IS hard! They are all out quickly astray. If you are a cherished a brief friendly hug, does not mean that each of the Interns must embrace and touch me. Sure, they all want, but that is not so easy to signal in every little situation when something is too much. One tends to make small situations in mind, but now they smell more chances to find even more. Unfortunately, this is the bitter truth of my being in rehab. But I'm learning for life, I probably can not hurt.

pictures of yesterday, Leiman and Carlitos:


he likes me better than on the road ...


This morning my Abuelos gone to Miami with my host aunt. The house had been cleaned and I'm already excited to see how it will look in 10 days. I am convinced that neither Jessie nor Valeria cook or clean, may get other guest makes my aunt. She has now offered me directly that I can always come to them when I have such hunger and no food in the house. She would not cook as good as my grandma, but still. I was very fond of her. In the house I have even been charged with the laundry the kitchen, I'll try to keep as clean as possible. How so all the time. Otherwise, I'm excited! When I got home, it was unusually quiet. One notices, however, that the grandmother neatly wind brings in the booth.
Valeria'm still not a departure date, time and again it is changed, then the project does not like her or any other problem occurs. We will see ...

Today I had dance classes again. Merengue, Salsa and Swing make super fun, the rest, bolero, mambo and cha cha cha are also fine. After the course was my dance partner and friend, while Michael and I once again in our regular-after-the-bar-dancing class, where the Mango Colada is best without alcohol. There we are in regular from about news in the life and the like. has
