Update 07/31/2013: Sad News ='(
(¯`v´¯)
Prayers for¸¸.•´¯`» Maestro José Luís Gonçalves
I'm sure everyone knows by now... if not, I heard of this sad news on Monday while at the Artesia bloodless bullfight.
Jose Luis Gonçalves suffers from a severe craneoencephalic trauma and is in an induced coma ... currently at the Santa Maria Hospital in Lisbon. He fell violently from a considerable height on Sunday, July 28, 2013 during a rehearsal for the premiere of "Dancing with the Stars" show on TVI. Not much else is being said.
Please ... I know praying works ... pray from the heart that he will come through as fearless as he enters the arenas.
This is once again a reminder that life is precious and should never be taken for granted and never to be sitting waiting for life to happen. Live and enjoy life! ~Pebbles Kon

Update 04/21/2013: YAY!! I'm finally back in and updating my website! My hard drive took a crap on me and let's just say that it was just a head-banging situation ...no bueno is what it was!
Anyhooooo.... I updated the [EVENTS] page and will also add a special fundraising page for Al Magina of Our Lady of Fatima organization in Thornton, CA. More info will come soon.
If you don't know by now, I finally took the site to Facebook late 2012 ... so please come visit and engage in some topics of discussion or just stop by to say hello =) .... It would also be cool if you can "LIKE" and "SHARE" the page to your friends, family, etc. Help me spread the awareness of "BLOODLESS BULLFIGHTS" in California ... I want everyone to see the artistic form without the gory ending ;)
I finally purged and archived the old news from last year and the years beyond. If you want to see old stuff, you can view [HERE]
