Irony..

Guess what.., I´m just eating a Toblerone right now... (Juanma thanks !!), I´m just loving this chocolate bar.., it´s kind of my favorite this days..., and the interesting thing about it is that it´s made in the land of chocolates or clocks where I was 2 years ago..., and I could have eaten lots of them..., but I didn´t because I wasn´t that magnificent chocolate lover as I´m becoming..... Arrgghhhhhhh.....

Milkshake

Today I´m trying a new milkshake recipe invited by myself, the ingredients are:
- 1 cup of milk.
- 1 full spoon of protein with chocolate flavor.
- 2 bananas.
- 1 twix (Candy Bar).
- 1 cup of ice.

Put it on the blender and it´s ready!!
I just tasted and it´s yummyyyyyyyyyy !!!

Esteban´s Time..

Normally it goes from 6:00PM until 8:00PM and it´s the most important time of my day, where I have no cellphone, no connection to internet, no fixed phone, no nothing...., just me.... , and plenty of time to thing about what I´ve done, what I´m doing and what I´ll do with every single thing that surrounds and affects my life .....
It´s also a time where I balance long computer hours with plenty of exercise at the gym.




Best of all..., no interruptions !!



Se Finito !!

Brigadas..

2 weeks ago we went to Carambolas for another session of our "Brigadas de la Salud y la Solidaridad" where we did some activities for the small and for the adults..



For the kids we did an observation race where we talked to them very much about the team work and at the same time we taught them about a wide variety of topics, and for the adults a series of awesome conferences about the family where they did a very nice paper work (specially the moms!).

In the other hand, we did a journey by the neighborhood where we visited a series
of people with different kind of illness, what allows us to get more sensitized with the community.
Its very sad to see these people in this kind of situation having in mind the poor conditions that they face every single day of their lifes.
All of us got a warm welcome by each one of them, we saw the happiness of these people when we came in...., they´re very lonely people...

We are definetively just soooooo lucky of living the way we live and how we live, because we could be occupying their places and their ours very very easily... Its just so sad that sometimes people just don´t realize how lucky they are because they´re always looking above their heads, but never underneath them..., and is much more what they´ll find if they look underneath that if they look above... Helping the people that needs us is very easy..., you just need to want to give soooo much without expecting to receive anything in exchange.., but believeme, with this people you receive 100 times or more what you give them, and is something that money can´t buy, your parent´s can´t give you..., is something that you can only gain it by yourself.

In the middle of it...



PVD party was just amazing...
I guess the picture can talk by itself.

Paul Van Dyk: Politics of Dancing Tonight..

Tonight.., at paisatown (Medellín) is PVD Politics of Dancing 2 !! This party is going to be awesome, I´m just listening some intros of the songs and they look quite amazing...., also having in mind that this is my favorite dj.., and my last party was 2 years ago with him in Zürich (Unforgetable).... It´s 9:00PM..., and I´m planning to be there at 10:30PM.. I have to work tomorrow (that´s the only bad thing), however I´ll make sure to have plenty of fun !

What I like about PVD is that he´s not only a "DJ", just take the time and read the following and you will realize what I mean:

Fear and Love..

I was listening to 40 gigs of music that a friend did copy to my hard drive..., and after listening soooooo manyyyyyyyyy songs I found this one called "Fear and Love" from a band called "Morcheeba" which plays a laid-back mix of fusion, funk, and blues (I just realized the name of it), however I used to hear this song very much while I was living in Switzerland, so today I searched for the lyric of it and here it is..
I think this song has applied to me in the past, in the present and probably will in the future.


Fear and love - Morcheeba


"We always have a choice
Or at least I think we do
We can always use our voice
I thought this to be true
We can live in fear
Extend our selves to love
We can fall below
Or lift our selves above


Fear can stop you loving
Love can stop your fear
Fear can stop you loving
But it's not always that clear


I always try so hard
To share my self around
But now I'm closing up again
Drilling through the ground


Fear can stop you loving
Love can stop your fear
Fear can stop you loving
But it's not always that clear


I'd love to give my self away
But I find it hard to trust
I've got no map to find my way
Amongst these clouds of dust


Fear can stop you loving
Love can stop your fear
Fear can stop you loving
Love can stop your fear
Fear can stop you loving
Love can stop your fear
Fear can stop you loving
But it's not always that clear"



Weird Dreams.

I keep having this weird dreams that are almost real, so real that when I wake up I get confused for a while thinking if what I dreamt I really did it or if it was just a dream.... There´s no problem with that.., the problem comes when you do bad things like in my dreams...., they stop being dreams and get converted into nightmares..... What´s the difference between a dream and reality ? Studies have shown that the same areas in the brain get activated whenever you´re seeing something or dreaming that something.., so another question here is: Which one is really seeing? The eyes or the brain ?? And again.., what´s the difference between reality and dreams ? The only answer that comes to my mind right now is that dreams are not as consecutive as reality...

Missing you..


Hey mom, it´s been just 2 days and I´m missing you like never...., even though I talked with you a few minutes ago. I know you´re having a good time with your friends on the beach and I like that.., because you were needing that space!
Probably I´ll be going also to the beach on July, hopefully everything will come up flawlessly..

Cooking Time...

This cooking has been the best of the best...., the food was just so great..., each one of us did a little part of it..., and the result was hilarious. I just received the pictures today and in the moment I saw them I started to feel hungry....

Beagles...

Theres a new beagle in the family, it´s called Beto. I think I already posted about him, I even showed a picture of him. He´s just so big this days...
Yesterday I went to the farm because of the father´s day and had lunch with my family, well, not all of it because sadly for this time my mother wasn´t here, and other memebers were traveling.., however it was a pretty good time. I took some pictures of Hugo, Beto and Salpina... Salpina is a dog from our neighbors but she likes very much to come to our farm. Her kind is of those dogs used to do agility (like in animal planet..), it´s just so funny...



PD: Can´t wait for the 25th of this month !

Silicone..

I´m shocked !!!.., today I decided to go to the gym in the morning cuz I have something else to do on the afternoon, so I went there and started to see lot´s of womans with silicone on them..., I decided to count and got a rate that 2 womans out of 3 had silicone implants on them... Isn´t that too much ?? I´ve read and found out that Medellín is a city with a very high rate in this kind of surgeries..., why ?? Some people says that´s because of the fashion mostly..., at the same time Medellín is one of the cities with higher rates of bullimia (is that the correct way to write it??) and anorexia........, they also say that´s mainly because of the fashion.... So my question is what´s the fashion doing with our nice people ?? To be honest I prefer a girl without any kind of surgeries, makeup or whatsoever.., I prefer natural people.., however I´m not against a little bit of vanity to fix some imperfections but here this is going crazy... To fight that, EPM (Empresas Públicas de Medellín) in association with other companies are throwing a pretty nice and strong campaing about all this kind of #%$#%#, showing for exampel a cammel with huge back implants on it (looking pretty ugly), a pretty thin giraffe (looking also ugly because that´s not natural...., I mean, not normal). I´ve found girls with huge implants on them that instead of looking nice they look like porno stars.. and to be honest I don´t like that, it doesn´t look right...
A few weeks ago I was at the university doing the line at the cafeteria to buy a yogurt, I looked back and saw this extra thin girl.., obviously she was anorexic.., you can tell by the color of her skin, the way her hair is..., and other couple of things that I´ve learned from girl-friends that have been throughout anorexia or bullimia. But this girl..., it reallly shocked me..., the width of her arms and legs were just soooooo thin that I think that if somebody touches her she will break inmediatly.....
