Future is uncertain these days..

Well, since last week I haven´t stop for a rest, too much study, too much work.., too much of everything, but I hope to take a breath this weekend.
There´s a trip that maybe.., but that maybe seems to be very small now...., there´s a kind of cloud over it that each day that passes becomes more foggy making the trip less possible each time.

Yesterday was funny, here at the office, there´s a publicity agency doing an advertisement work for a newspaper called "El Colombiano", so one of the guys called me and asked me to take one picture kissing a girl, well not exactly kissing.., the idea was to make it look like if we were going to kiss but we didn´t.., it was funny though.

Esteban !! You were in danger and you didn´t know !!

Well, today as I wrote before, I had a task, and it was to get my car to the garage to get a breaks inspection because it had a very particular sound....
I woke up at 10:30 stayed in bed until 12:00 doing a lot of sort of things in my computer, and finally when I was ready I call to the garage and it was closed..., so I came home, and called to "Metrofrenos" that is a very good place, it was open, so I went there, and they told me that I had th replace the discs, and other very important pieces that were just toooo wasted..., the guy told me that it wasn´t that safe to have that pieces in that way... Finally they replace all the pieces and my breaking system was like new again...., I can feel the diference...

It was weird.., and the bill was huge.. arrghhhhhh

Virtual Past??

Maybe the term is a little bit crazy..., but I found that very intersting... Today I´m let´s say incorporating all my old information (PST´s, email´s, files, history´s, etc..) since the year 2000 into my new computer..., somehow I feel identified by all of that..., I mean.., I did all of that.., I wrote all of that., for example I found emails that I exchanged with people that I don´t even remeber, other that I don´t want to remember, other´s that make my life happy, and other´s that I´ve been in touch with for hundreds of years... It´s just so crazy to see all of that...., "My Virtual Past"...
I think that in the last years I´ve done so much, but when I start to see all of this past informatoin I remember much more and realize even more all the things that I´ve donde since 2000, the most incredible thing is that almost all of that is inside my head, maybe not in an active way, but yes in a pasive one...., the mysterious thing here is that I can remeber every single line that I wrote..., and when I do, I remember much more things like sounds, smells, images associated to that situation.....
I´m just amazed with this computer, right now it´s sitting on my legs, and when I move it has a move detector, so it inactivates the hard disk to protect it from scratch or something like that..., the same thing happens if my computer falls from my hands..., it inactivates the hard drive to protect it from data loss..

Well, breakfast time.., so I´ll be back later.., so much things to do....

Tasks for this weekend..

Well, at the beginning of the week I thought that this weekend was going to be just of rest, but I was wrong, I have quite a bit of things to do, among them:
1. Write my thesis project.
2. Study for Economics Engineering Quizz.
3. Study for Cuantitative Methods 2 first parcial exam.
4. Tune up B-software webpage.
5. Configure my new laptop IBM Thinkpad T43.
6. Take my car for a revision in the front left brake.
7. Read a book for Geopolitics.
8. Clean up my Dell Inspiron 6000.

Well, I think that´s all for now......, be posting more in case that I have more to do´s.

Drained out..

It´s thursday and I would like it to be friday ! I´m just so tired this week, so much things to do, so much things to be prepared, so much stress, so much of everything except rest....

For this weekend I have some things to study, have one parcial exam and one quizz, the parcial is for Metodos Cuantitativos 2, and the quizz is for Economics Engineering..., let´s see what happens.

In the other hand I´m kind of white mind today.., so I won´t write too much, however, I guess that I´ll post something more interesting later..

Google, google google, now in IM.

I downloaded this morning Google Talk, I´m very impressed because now Google is present in a huge range of products, ranging from the search engine, google earth, email, IM, plus that is developing an Operative System and a Browser..., I think that Microsoft needs to re-think their business model, because Google now is taking the world and everything for free !!! That´s just incredible !! I won´t mind if in one year my computer runs on 100% freee software (sponsored by google) and each time that I do something see some kind of small advertisement., thats the price for that but I think that it will be a win win situation, plus that it will help you on your daily work specially if you work a lot with search engines.

This morning I had 6:00AM class, so I woke up at 5:00AM, the thing is that I was that sleepy that I just stayed for a couple of minutes more, and when I woke up it was 5:36AM, obviously I was late for class.., not the big deal however..

Today I have an appointmen with the head of my career in the university, and I´m going to expose him a project that I want to develop as my thesis, I have a good feeling about it, however, I´ll put more details if this think works.

Well, that´s it for now...........

BTW, I´m in the paintball fields again...

Sleeping is definetively a waste of time...

Ok, 6 hours is enough......., no more no less...
Today I decided to come earlier than normal to my office (6AM to be more precise), the reason is because at this time in the morning everything is quiet..., I can be more productive.., but well, to be honest those are only excuses, the main reason is that my day becomes longer..., longer in terms of what I can do in one unit of time, in other words what I can do in one day.
There´s only one difficult thing, and is when at 5:00AM in the morning my mobile wakes me up to say: "Hey Esteban, time to wake up !!", in those minutes the only thing that I want to do is stay in my "nice and warm" bed...., but after I beat that feeling..., then everything is Ok.

Changing of topic, my mother gave me a very cool ultra small umbrella, I didn´t use it until yesterday!! God it was raining !!!!!! It was very helpfull, and at the same time very handy ! Thanks mom !!!
The Enginnering day was yesterday, so here at the office the "Zape Pelele" drew a comic of each one of us, it was soo funny, actually I look very similar in real life..., if I have the chance I´ll scan it and after that post it here.

What else can I say...., I guess that´s all for now....

Started working on a new Project..

Well, yesterday I started working on an application for a charity foundation called "La caja del amor", what this foundation does is basically help people in very poor zones of the city, they achieve this selling boxes called "la caja del amor" for a small amount of money, each box comes empty, and then after you buy it the idea is that you will put on it as much things as you want, for example grocery things, coats, toys, etc, the idea is to give this boxes to the poor people on christmas with the objective of giving them a happy christmas eve !!, I have so much things to do there regarding to the IT part..., and I´m 100% sure that with my help this foundation is going to boost so much..., they are planning to sell 3,000 boxes this year, but my objective is to make that number double, I mean 6,000 boxes.., how ? Well, what I´m planning to do is to create a virtual box with the name "La caja virtual del amor" or something like that.., the idea is that you can go to the foundation website, configure the box in the way you want or you can, and after that pay for it in this case via Bancolombia or Conavi..., it would save so much time, and at the same time it can be forwarded to more and more people very very easily.., like the way you forward nice and funny emails.
I´m sure that the divine power will be with me on this one....., it´s for a very very good cause, and I hope that you, the reader will buy at least one after the system is running, I´ll post some pictures here about what I´m talking about..., when I saw those pictures I was soo sad...., because you can see that these people doesn´t have anything at all, and we have everything...., those people get happy with a bag of rice, do we get happy with that ???

Might God be with you..

: (

I got sick last friday.., actually I got a cold.., almost everybody in the office has one.., so I guess it was very difficult for me to not get one.., friday was not that bad, but on saturday I was very ill, being sick is the worst thing..., but at the same time makes you realize that when you're healthy you don't apreciate it.., so then you have to be sick to be able to.
Have a lot of things to do on this week, being bussy is good, because I can use almost all of my time in a very profitable way..
Well, I guess that's all for now.., my energy is kind of low plus that I'm tired right now, so I won't write that much.., anyway I dont have to much things to write these days..., actually I'm in the middle of a lot of things that may happen soon, but I rather not to post nothing until the alignment is ok.
I have been thinking quite a bit about my future, my plans.., and I now that I'm in the correct path, but at the same time I also know that I need to do some tuning and change some things that need to be fixed.

Tomorrow I'll be able to sleep a little bit more than usual because I have "pico y placa", which means that I can't take out my car before 8:30 AM, so I'll start working at 9:00AM.

Time for me to go to sleep.

I don´t have a title for this post..

Well, as I said before, I don´t have a title for this post, usually I do, but today is definetively the exception.
This week has been full of work and study, today is finally friday, but the thing is that I have a class from 5PM until 9PM, and tomorrow I´ve a class from 8AM until 1PM, that´s great, isn´t it ? It means that today I can´t do much if I want to be able to go to class tomorrow, the good thing is that this asignature will end in 2 weeks !! I know that this schedule is very thight and difficult, but it was for only 1 month.., so it´s not the big deal at all. I´ll be with only 3 asignatures in 2 weeks then..., which is good, because this semester I don´t have that much time to study.
Yesterday I went to a charity dinner in "Caná de Galilea" which is a very fancy place in my city, the funny thing is that I went for dinner and I didn´t get one, in fact all the people who were siting at my table didn´t have dinner at all, why ? Because so many people went there that they ran out of meals very fast..., so what we got as dinner was the introductory dish twice and the dessert, no main dish at all, however it was ok, it was for a good cause.

With my drug prescription everything has been ok for the last 2 weeks that I´ve been taking it, I can get concentrated pretty easily, work without getting that tired at all, sleepy sensation is gone, getting as a conclusion that I wish I had gone to the NeuroDoc before... My performance has increased soooooooooo much...., soooo much that sometimes I can´t beleive it.

For this weekend I´ve no plans at all, maybe tomorrow I´ll go to my farm, cuz there´s going to be a "paella" there.., so that´s a posibility, I also have to study for a economics enginneering test next week, read some books for another asignatures, so I don´t think that I´ll do too much. I´m gonna try to play some paintball on sunday, haven´t played in 2 weeks..., I´ve a shape to take care off...jajajaja, anyway..., yesterday I took a haircut..., it´s just so incredible the price of a haircut here, I remember that the last year in CH going for one was an Impossible because of the price (60 CHF, which is in Colombian pesos $120.000), and here is just $7.000 Colombian pesos........ It´s just s incredible.

Well, I think that´s all for now....., I´ll be posting if anything new comes up..

-------Connection Dropped-------------------------

Update...Update..Update...

Well, last friday we went to the airport to pick up "Poveda", jajajja, well, the thing is that when we got there I saw that a lot of people were waiting for other people holding small pieces of paper with the name that they were waiting for writen on it..., so I did the same.., and because the paper wasn´t big enough I wrote "Andy Poveda"...., when he saw it that was funny...
After picking him up we headed down again to Medellin, and meanwhile we were drinking Aguardiente in the car, not a very good safety driving practice.., however I wasn´t driving..
Poveda wanted to give the sourprise of his arrival to his family and his girlfriend se we helped him on that.., so the first thing that we did was to pick up my car because we were 4, then headed to Poveda´s girlfriend.., she was very excited when she saw her....., I really like that kind of sourprises.., you know.., I like them that much that I did the same with my parents when I got back from Europe. After picking her up we went to Juana´s house (another friend) and stayed there for 1/2 hour maybe..., and then to Poveda´s house.., some friends came by..., and after 1 hour his parent´s arrove.., they were very sourprised...., that was nice.
I left his house at 12:00 because I had to wake up early the next day (saturday) for "Mercadeo" class..., so that´s the end of that story.
Next day (saturday) after class I went to the "Cabalgata", for those who don´t recognize the word is somethign very typical from here from Medellin, is a day where a main road is closed and lot´s of people riding horses goes throughout it..., so there´s people everywhere..., drunk people, young people.., you can find everything !! I stayed there maybe until 5:00PM, after that I was very tired..., so I gave a lift to Poveda and his girlfriend to Andy´s place..., and after that I went to naty´s house....., the rest is history until the next day.., I was soooooooo tired.
On sunday did some studying, went also to the supermarket..., not big deal..., talk also to an old friend, Brendan from NYC and well..., that was all.
Today I had 6 AM class, it wasn´t that difficult to wake up..., and in the lunch brake the company gave us our new Id´s with a yummy lunch..., I think that I drink too much wine.., because I was like in the Nebulosa here in the rest of the afternoon, even though I managed to get concentrated after a couple of coffee´s...
My boss is leaving the company, she gave us the sad notice today..., I only had the chance to work with her for 2 months and it was a very good experience...., I´m gonna miss her so much..
Well, now it´s almost 5:30 PM, so I´ll be heading home...
