Hey Kai and Paola I did dream with you both.

This is the extrangest thing that I've dream in the last weeks.
You both know Kai and Paola that I don't know you, we spoke on the phone and a couple of times by email.
I knew that Kai was here in Medellin for a short period of time while I was away.., so we didn't have the oportunities to meet because when I arrove Kai was just leaving to her country.., However, I dreamt that Kai was here in Medellin, because Paola died (I can't remeber exactly how...). Can't remember too much details.., but this is the first time that I dream with people that I've only seen in pictures and not in the real life.

I Extracted the next pharagraph from a book that tends to interpret the dreams called "Enciclopedia de los sueños":
"¿Es posible que asi como nos enfermamos para expresar con el cuerpo nuestras frustraciones profundas, tambiém busquemos la muerte para expresar un radical desencanto de la vida? Y en tal caso, ¿que función tiene el instinto de conservación?"

My thoughts as usual..

I was just thinking that long time ago, when the Internet arrove to my country, I signed for 10 internet monthly hours via the phone line. I used to divide that hours between reading news, downloading some "very small" programs, chatting, reading and writing email. All of that in just 10 hours.
The time passed and now I've a broadband connection which I can use 24/7 if I want for the same fee. It's just incredible...... how everything evolves... However, I've to admit that we have pretty slow connections here in Colombia already..., I hope we can get better connections in the near future.

Before leaving to Switzerland, I use to live in another neighborhood and as a matter of fact in another building. The point is that I became a very good friend of the gatekeeper there, and also helped him with a reasonable amount of problems, he was very poor..., I also got to know his son.., we did share a lot of time, and when I was away he always used to call to my parents to ask how I was doing. Yesterday I went there to see him, to say "Hey I'm back, how are you doing" ?? I parked the car in the street and walked to the gate, knocked a few times, however I couldn´t see anything because of the tint windows. A man opened the door ( I didn´t knew him), so I asked him if Miguel (That was the name of the Gatekeeper) was there..., he replied me: "Miguel died 2 weeks ago"..., I was in a kind of shock, didn´t know what to say.., I just couldn´t beleive it......., then I asked him for details..., also for a phone number, but he didn´t have one.., so I asked him if he could try to get it for me with the other emplyees of the building. I left my old house quite sad, bored and impressed. That´s life, I know.., but it doesn´t mean that it has to be easy to understand.

A cool weekend...

On saturday, after doing some Operative Systems workshops Velez invited me to his farm with his girlfriend to spend the rest of the weekend and get relaxed. I invited Naty, and we left at 9:00 PM directly to his farm. We arrove there after 45 mins, maybe 1 hour, because it was raining..., however everything was perfect. His farm is by the airport, being more precise I think that the zone is called "El Tablazo". I remember that I went to his farm 1 year ago, and when we arrove there I realize that didn´t recognize anything...., so I asked him if they rebuild something or made any change to it, but then he told me that this one was the other house (I´ve never been to this house before) that was located on the top of a small hill.



After eating a yummy Mega Dominno´s pizza, we started to play some Rummi-Q, of course Naty won..., she´s a very good player, I didn´t win not even one match..........., anyway that wasn´t the big deal. After acouple of rounds (Again, I didn´t win) we decided to play Risk. That game was very awesome, but I was quite tired though so I didn´t pay too much atention to it. I got erased from the map on the first place (what a looser !!!), being the looser gave me the oportunity to cook for everybody on sunday (that was the penalty) and a kind of "food-slave".... I enjoyed it because I made with Velez a very cool lunch called "sanduches gratinados con papitas a la francesa", it tasted like heaven !!!!! We got some good words from the girls !! I have to admit it velez, we understand pretty well each other when we work togheter as a team.
After that great lunch we took a shower and got back to Medellin.

Right now I´m finishing a stupid work of an asignature called "Axiologia", quite boring I have to admit..., but now it's done.., time to go to bed I guess.
