Better late, than never

Ok, it has been a loooooooooong time.

I can't deny that, but many things had been out of my control. I just finished 2 exams that I had via Internet, and today is mother's day, at least here in Mexico smile

Anyway, my sincere congratulations to all of you that are mothers in your day.

Mexico DF and other demons

When I was writing the last post I was stuck in a Sanborn's restaurant. After all I needed Internet, and there wasn't any Starbucks around.

It was really depressing, because I was in México City, but I had forgoten how depressing is that city, all gray, you need to drive for hours to get from ine place to another, LOTS of busy people, and worst of all, no good coffee anywhere. furious



After a nice, and very interesting trip to the "Museo de Antropología e historia" to see some of the Russian collections of the Ermitage. The came problem when I realized that the hotel I would stay that night was far to the south part of the city, and... crossing the city vía Insurgentes up to Tlalpan... at the rush hour yikes it took more than an hour almost two, and I had just a Pizza for dinner, so, believe me, it was not the best experience I had. Besides... It seems that going from Insurgentes to Calzada de Tlalpan proves to be a lil... Tricky, to say the least p



But the next day I went to the UNAM campus and I visited some book stores, one of them "Gandhi", really burned my time faster than expected, because I found some books I really wanted, and the problem was to decide which ones I'll take, and which ones I'll pass until next time. lol

Food was awesome because with only $35, the rough equivalent to 2.5 dollars I had a succulent home made food smile And I ended having an ice cream in Santa Fe, which is a well known commercial center.

All that was in my way to Toluca to visit some friends, but sadly it was too late, so I needed to keep my way to Morelia. It was quite harsh for me, because I an known for falling asleep while driving, so... I was stopping at every possible stop to walk p

But it was quite Fun, after all I found some good places in México City. After all, even when it's a monstruous city with serious problems, it have many things that are worth to see and enjoy.

Where I have been?

,

Hello again...

I have been really busy (Like always)... I tryied to post, but for some reason my pictures didn't display as I wanted, so I let the post slip. Then I was about to let this blog die... But after all, it's something I won't decide, but you...

So... here is your chance... He/She who is free of sin... start throwing stones, and I hope those stones are big, because this thing won't die easily.

Well... Where I had been?

Some weeks ago... When I was playing WoW, a mason suddenly enter my house.... Thru a new made window, which (still) is in my XVI century, 1 meter thick stone wall !!!

As you may supose, I was quite, just... QUITE upset, and I am working with many instances of the government to fix this wall


Anyway... I'll post more info as it become available p

Merry Christmas !!!

I'll post better content, but first and foremost I wished to tell you all readers of this humble blog that I wish you a Merry Christmas to all.

May your wishes come true this season, and my best wishes to the next year...

Thank you for reading smile

6 things...

All right, after some weeks of forced rest, I finally can write something, and just in time, because it seems that I have quite some post to answer p

Firts of all, Violetisha asked me to write 6 things that make me happy, so here are they:

1- The Doors I don't know why, but the music of this 60's - 70's band makes me happy, no matter what was my previous humor. I like others bands, like Pink Floyd and Lynryd Skynryd, but nothing like The Doors.

2- My friends I don't have a lot of them, because I am very reserved, but thanks god the few I have are people just... Priceless!!! Violetisha is the person who showed me this wonderful community, and one person that I will always be in debt with. Iggy... you know I love you man!!! We had a lot of adventures together.

3- My cat After 17 years of being together, this little furball is part of my family smile

4- Programming That my way of living, and one thing that I enjoy the most

5- Photography & Graphical arts Even when I am a total noob with that, I enjoy seeing the world as some people share it with his/her art. Thanks to Nikio & Severin Sadjina. I wish I could do the same. But for sure... I will try !!

6- WoW OMG, I accept this, World of Warcraft is my favorite game, and I have been playing it for some years now.

So... Nothing fancy here, I am a person with normal tastes. But I would be glad to see your comments, maybe we can play WoW or share programming tips smile

Last minute notice !!!


I had a vacations planned for this weekend, because here in México will have a freeday on 17 Nov, because of our Revolution which is on 20 Nov, but we move the freeday to have a longer weekend and to have the chance to go on a small vacation.

Problem is that I was feeling pain in my shoulder from quite some time, but I didn't care. When I was scared, was the moment I don't feel my arm from the elbow to the hand bigeyes

The doctor said that I have three different muscles rips, one on the biceps, other in the pectoral and the last and more serious is on the back, but I don't remember the name of the muscle.

Well, it seems that my rip is 1cm of depth wich makes my nerves to be exposed, and that's no good, no good at all, because I may lose mobility on my arm cry

So I have my arm immobilized, and I am under some medications which make me feel really bad. I mean I can focus my mind on anything, I am feeling like if I am drunk, and I feel from time to time like If I was going to fall.

Having said so... No vacations for me this wekend sad

And This weekend was the Wrath of the Lich King launch, so I can't play either cry



Anyway... Don't let those small pains bother you, but Go to the doctor!, it may prolly be nothing, but we'll never know, and you may save some heavy medication.

A brave new world

,

When you think you know everything, there is always something that will amaze you...

That's a fact, and this time, I was surfing blogs of other people, and I was amazed !!! There was a whole world waiting to be dicovered, from points of view, to humor, to beautiful pictures. And all that was just a click away !

That makes me rethink my view about blogs, and Internet communities.

I hope one day I can visit all those wonderful places around the world, but if that won't be the case, at least I will have a better view of those places looking them thru the eyes of the people in Opera.

Thank you for sharing your world, your country or simply, your garden to other people.

I will try to do the same with mine bigsmile

MASTER Brother

,

Once upon a time there was a happy Family...



This is the story of a lifetime, the story about how people can be separated by a long distance, and still be linked by the heart. Years may come and pass, but we are still a family. And the story goes on...



I am very proud of my brother, because he attained his masters degree in History.It's curious that he's the second member of this generation of the family to get that degree (and the first wasn't me, even when I am the older brother), but my younger brother, who is even younger than Toño, has a Masters degree in publicity. But I guess I'll get my masters one day or another, because I want to be part of the "Masters" in the family smile

Obviously we had a party to celebrate that bigsmile


And I was glad to see all the people who went there, because I saw many people who I hadn't see in a loooong time, but that proves that the friendship endures the time and place. I just hope that someday I have that many friends.
We are a very small family, that makes our bonds stronger, but we are a family with tradition here, and we are working to make that count.
I'll start sending some more important stuff, but I needed to brag about my brother, I know everyone of you would have made the same.


Have a nice day smile

Let this happen!

Back in Black



Sometimes is hard to be on touch with people who is around the corner, just imagine people who doesn't live on your city... Now, imagine the difficulties of keeping comunication with people who live in other countries.

I hadn't been a fan of bloggin'. But this is an effort bigsmile

I hope you stay in touch Iggy... Alex, and all the others, we'll see, we'll see smile

For now it's over with this post, I hope you enjoy it. yes
