Ok, it started on saturday at 4:30 AM when I woke up after going to bed at 1:30 AM (not too much time to sleep) .., however I drove to the coast with Naty and some relatives and friends, a 8.5 hours drive, everything went ok, the road was ok, no problems at all. Arrived at 2:30 PM and then you can feel the amount of humidity that the air has...., personally I don`t like that too much..., in fact I like the warm weather but just for a couple of days, no more than that.., I consider myself a person that it`s prefered habitat is the cold weather, remember that.., cold weather is the key..
Ok Ok.., let`s continue with the story that I was writing before...
Started to read "Angeles & Demons" from the same author of the "Davinci Code".., what`s he`s name..., I can`t remember... ( I just googled it and it`s Dan Brown), and I really like the way he writes..., you can`t stop reading it, but I did, because I lend it to somebody else.., so I didn`t advance that much.., but I`ll continue this week.
Days passed quite normal, then on the 5th of july it was my birthday, my 24th year of life..., INCREDIBLE !! Celebrated with a brown cake with a yummy chocolate sauce and some marshmallows on it.. yummy again... Thanks to all of that who remembered it and in one way or another.
Did Scuba Diving..., awesome thing to do, but very scary at the begining..., I have to admit it.., I felt like a 100% beginer.., in fact I was a 100% beginer because the closest thing that I ever done closer to scuba diving is snorkeling. So as I was writing, the first time was very scary.., getting used to breath with the tank is easy but you don`t get used to it after a couple of minutes.., then learning how to go up and down wasn`t that easy..., and sometimes I got desperated.., but I said to myself "Just relax and enjoy..." and I did it.. That was not all of it.., I spent so much air, that happens when you`re scared, also it was a bit difficult to compensate at the begining but after a few times it was piece of cake... After 14 minutes of the inmersion I got a headache, not the best thing too feel down there because that added a little bit of terror to my scuba experience. The water was very cold, we went down to 80 feet`s.., that`s about 26,6 meters, and everything was very dark......, didn`t see too much animals though, but I did see a lot of corals and plants... I was diving with naty and other guy called Mauricio, at some point naty got out of air so she had to use my tank..., what a mess.., that was a little bit difficult at the begining because I wasn`t that used to the equipment and doing tricks and things under the water is not easy because everything has to be done through hand signals..., so you can`t be that descriptive..., I guess that an advanced scuba diver can, but that wasn`t my case. However.., naty started to breath from my tank, and while doing the maneuver she cut herself in the leg with a coral.., poor girl.., that did hurt !!! Ok, so the air run out very fast so finally and thanks to god with went to the surface..., and when we started to go up the water started to warm slowly, very slowly.., and I start to calm a little bit more myself.
What a headache !!! I was feeling a little bit weird but not that much.., anyway I was ok.
The next day we headed again to the see to do another inmersion, and I was scared..., I didn`t know if I should do it or not.., but I did it and that was the best one..., I was much more relaxed.., more confident...., enjoying it more..., no headache at all..., everything went just fine....
Didn`t see too much animals at all, but again the experience was veryyyyyyyyy cool.
Yesterday we drove back to Medellin..., we arrove here at 1:30 and I just falled asleep for the rest of the afternoon.

Falling Asleep..
It´s Friday afternoon and I´m sitting at my desk....., almost sleep..., falling asleep, what´s the difference......, don´t want to do anything at all.... I just drank a cup of coffee, it was very dark and didn´t taste well at all, maybe it was overburn........., waiting for the caffeinne to do it´s magical effect. I´ll drink a sip of O2 to take out the bad taste of it.... GLU GLU GLU GLU !!!
I just put my headphones and listen to some eletronic music to make the energy go up ! It´s not working at all !! jajaja, I´ll just switch the song.... "Forward"... Well, it seemd that now is working.., jajajja, or is it maybe the caffeinne ??? I´d rather say that´s a mix ! Eletronic + Coffee = Will awake u !
I was looking at google images one image to paste here to try to ilustrate my concept but I didn´t find it at all...
Fridays afternoons are kind of depressing somehow..., I´m not depressed or something.., it´s just that you can feel how low the energy is arround you..., everybody is tired from the week that it´s just ending...., everybody is just looking forward to get out of it, to get a rest.., to don´t have to wake up early the next couple of days..., to do some sports.., there are plenty of reasons...., it´s also kinf of funny because I read once an article when it said: "Never buy a vehicle that was built on a friday or monday" guess whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ? It´s just funny to see everybody doing everything but work...., well.., don´t get me wrong.., I´m not saying that nobody is doing anything at all.., it´s just that people is more relaxed.., you can even tell that by the way people come dressed on fridays..., very sporty I would say..., and the funniest thing is that it´s a "Rule" in almost all the companies....
I´m definetively heading for the coast tomorrow until the 10th of july.., so I won´t spend my Birthday here in the city with my family.., that´s sad..., I can´t remember when was the last time that I spent one of my birthdays with my family.., I guess it was 2 years ago..... Well.., I´ve to go to the bus station to get a reimbursment for the ticket cuz I won´t be using it at all....
Got a New AC for the office, but it didn´t avoid me to fall asleep....

Arrgghhh
Yesterday I went to "El parque Lleras" to be more precise to "Open Sky" to celebrate some friends birthday... I did park my car in a sidewalk where YOU CAN park...., the thing is taht I did it behind a car that was beside some stairs, so it couldn´t go down..... The thing is that I spent 2 hours there, and where I was coming back I saw that my car was going to be picked up by a big truck !!!!! Luckly for me I arrived just in time, so I had the chance to move the car but didn´t save myself from a nice ticket that will cost me $190.000 ARGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
In the other hand, the mother of one of my colegues died yesterday....., that´s sad...., very sad..., because my mother for me is the base of my hole life..., I guess she was for him something like that or even more..., the fact is that I put myself on his position and honestly I won´t know what to feel..... There are not much words that you can use or tell to somebody that´ve lost a loved one..., nothing that you can say can relief that person from that endless pain....
Just be there, with your presence..., nothing more, nothing else.., makes that person feel that he/she´s not alone....
Can´t get concentrated today........................

K.I.A
I consider myself K.I.A (Killed in Action), yesterday I went to play paintball as usual on saturdays.., this time we played in the field of a couple of friends that we shot so many times a few weeks ago...., well.., our turn came and we got wasted yesterday.., 10 shots.., 2 of them on the top of my head, 1 in my back, another one in my shoulder, 2 more in my left arm, 3 in my stomach, and 1 lethal in my leg....
Today I can barely move.., I'm so damn tired..., ran tooooo much yesterday, however I enjoyed the game very much.
After playing in those "friend's" field, we headed to another one from a friend that call's himself "Aladino", he's building a new field behind the Esso Pump Station in las palmas road..., it's quite cool !! and HUGE!!
Changing topic, I'm very happy with my Italian lessons..., I'm not to good already..., but I hope to be able to make a full post on Italian soon.
Work is doing pretty good..., working very much....., with a lot of enthusiasm on it.

Io sono Esteban..
Well..., long time since my last post.... I´ve been lately kind of bussy..., but I like it. The fact that I know that I´m doing something productive with my time makes me feel good..., makes things more interesting.
Started Italian classes 2 weeks ago ! I´m enjoying that so much..., tuesdays and thursdays at 5:00 PM.
Work is doing very well..., I´m now more adapted to it, enjoying the time at the Nabocondusor.., .., being more productive at the same time.
I´ve also improved a lot in paintball..., soon I´ll be the "Paintball Authority..." jajajja, I´m just kidding.., but I can´t forget that sticker on that car. Actually, I´m selling my paintball in case that you´re interested..., being offered on MercadoLibre.com right now.., why ? I need more range..
Well, my vacations have been everything but vacations...., maybe I´ll be planning a trip to "El Peñol", if you´re interested just let me know.
Right now listening to: "Give it to me" - Paris Lounge 4.

Eureka !
Ok, creo que di con la solucion a mis problemas.
Supongamos que mi vida en este momento es un buque que lleva mucho mucho peso, por lo tanto no puede navegar tan rapido. Empezé a tirar cajas al agua....., de manera que al disminuir peso este puede empezarse a mover mucho mas rapido. Voy a terminar de tirar todo ese peso que tengo al agua y cambiar ese buque grande por una lancha rapida, donde pueda transportar pocas cosas pero de una manera mas rapida, es decir, dedicarmele solo a algo, enfocarme en ese algo y terminarlo bien, disfrutarlo mientras lo transporto, es decir, mientras lo hago, y una vez hecho esto enfocarme en la siguiente tarea.

Carrusel...
A veces definitivamente las cosas no salen como queremos o como las hemos planeado, simplemente pasan, siendo en algunos casos bajos razones especificas, mientras que otras sin ninguna razon.
Llega entonces un punto donde dejan de funcionar tantas cosas, donde todo se va al suelo, donde nada sale como deberia, o al menos como se espera, que lo unico que encuentro como solucion es solo esperar a que pase la tormenta, y luego empezar nuevamente a reparar todo lo que esta daño, paso a paso, cosa por cosa, situacion por situacion.
La verdad, o al menos por el momento no estoy contento en el trabajo, por otro lado un proyecto que tenia se vino al suelo y hubo varios puntos que no me gustaron....., siento q mi vida de cierta manera entro en un camino donde no se puede mirar atras, solo adelante..., y este camino no se bifurca hasta dentro de un buen rato donde al mismo tiempo no hay posibilidad de virar hacia atrás, entonces aparece aqui un comun denominador llamado monotonia, lo cual todo lo hace mas aburridor y mas pesado de lo que deberia ser.
Empiezo a darme cuenta tambien de las cosas que quiero para mi vida..., pero al mismo tiempo me doy cuenta de que hay muchas cosas que todavia no he definido...., lo que de cierta manera me pone a pensar demasiado...

Finally, vacations !!!
Well, today was my last final..., I didn´t perform that well, didn´t study too much.., however I don´t need any grade, actually I need a negative one..., did some of the exercises, so it won´t be that bad.
In the other hand I´m here at DMG, waiting for Rengifo to arrive so I can start working on something.., WTH...., cloudly day.
Ok, today I got to know that because I´m new here I´ve to invite everybody in the office to Empanadas and gasimba !!!! I said to them that they should invite me..., I´m the new guy.., but Nooooo, I´ve to..., well.., I guess I´ll do, unfair situation anyway.

Got a new Job..
This week I got a new Job at DMG as a developer Eng. Going to start working on a project to develop a virtual catalog for a company called ALCOA.. All of the guys who work here are from my university.., some of them are already studying with me.
No access to gmail until now.., that´s a pain in the ass..., I´ll have to do some research to see what´s wrong with it.
Feel low on energy today.., don´t like too much when I feel like that.., however there´s nothing I can do about it.
The other thing is that here in the office there´s AC, and I hate it...., it´s not healthy..., and if it´s not healthy I don´t like it.
Tomorrow I have my last final exam at 6AM.., which means that tomorrow I´ll be in vacations at least from the university. Need to finish studying for that asignature today.
Well, I guess that´s everything for now............... I´ll be posting later.

Fondue and magic mushroms..(Cheese Night)
Don't get me wrong first of all.., I call the mushroms as magical because they're that tasty that you won't want to stop eating them..., the recipe ??? Mushroms of course, mix some garlic with some albahaca, some onion and the roots of the mushrom.... After that put that magical mix inside it and its almost ready. Then put some parmesano cheese on top of them, send'em to the oven and wait until the cheese is melted.., then it's time to eat them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Fondue was amzing..., swiss cheese..., I shall call this night "The Cheese Night"....
Right now is raining...., I was supposed to go today to watch on the movies "The house of wax" but I was that tired that decided to stay......., and watch some WB, Sony, AXN..., Cinemax...... or whatsoever... The other problem is that I'm wearing sandals (With this weather ???? Yes), and on the movies the AC is kind of strong.., so I'll get killed..., that's the other reason..., however I'm very lazy today...., sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I'll just stay here..., on the bed..., researching and watching tv..., and I'm, getting a little bit hungry, so I guess I'll have to cook something, otherwise nobody else is going to do it for me.

Right now doing a lot of research about a new project that I want to start (I'll be posting about this later on).

Deception..
I was expecting to feel this..., a big deception and at the same time disappointment, but as I said this is something that I was waiting for.., it was only a matter of time. Today we exposed the Sistemas Operativos Final Project and it didn't work at all..., I knew it had a flaw., but I didn't have the time to fix it, also it wasn't my responsability. I need a 2.0, hopefully I'll get it.
