Back to the Writing

I’m back on this finally. Since my last post I’ve been working hard to get customer for my firm. I haven’t gotten any of them but we’ll start on this along September. Funny things are going good, I’m playing tennis 3 times a week but I will reduce it to 2; the other 2 days I work out in the gym to get some muscles :D. I’m also going to dance salsa with my Cuban teacher and some older people, older people are some times funny. I’m also trying to learn German through www.babbel.com. Weekends are always to party… going out, drinking some beers with friends.

One the other hand I feel a bit desperate cause I don’t get enough money to spend so I have to very careful to buy only what I’m needing.

Nothing really big but at least I keep myself busy. Have good week!

Uncertainty

These days things are quite uncertain. On one side I’m strongly working to consolidate the consulting business and the support seems to be sure. But on the other side I’m applying for jobs which perhaps could get easily but, I look forward and I’m not completely convinced of them.

Last Saturday I made an exam necessary to be admitted in a master program which is offer by the college where I studied and Carnegie Mellon University. The exam what for free to I decided to make it.

Tomorrow I’ll make an exam for applying to a job. It’s gonna be a long one, 6-hour-exam. Wish me good look.

Reflection in Silence

I’m really forcing my self to write about this topic. On one hand is the pathetic feeling that wants to make something against the goddamn psychosis that goes around the city where I live but, on the other hand, is embarrassing for me be writing about this because I now that this post is gonna be read by people from maybe around the world. However, I have to say this seriously: if the government and the society of this county and countries involved cannot do anything against this we need to ask for help…

This is the situation; for several years that consumption of drugs from people has been increasing. Is well known developed countries are higher consumers than poorer countries. Following some of the basics of the supply and demand lay we can inferred that while having demand we’ll have supply. But why am I talking about this?... It’s because the US is a very attractive market for drug supplying and as you maybe imaging any kind of business with weed, cocaine, crack and these kind of shit is illegal in México or any State of the country, therefore you can imaging how big is the drug dealing business in this country.

Since the beginning of this year only my State (Sinaloa) has more than 580 people murdered, most of these people had some kind of relation with the drug dealing business. The problem is that the rest of them have been killed because they have pass from the scene of crime or they where in the garage where they were fixing their cars but they never knew they will be killed with by a stray bullet. And we; family, friends, relatives, and more are living with the psychosis of being reach by a stray bullet.

This is my so called solution:

Of course this wasn’t the finding of a scientific research nor a copy of a book. This is my judge about reducing the consequences of this social issue.

Hard Work!

I’m sittin’ on the living room of my home listening to Brazzaville songs, almost finishing the cd and resting from a hard week. The weather is quite hot on the other hand I’m not hot… yeah, now shine on your crazy diamond song is playing on the music component… I also finished a cup of tea (green stuff and chamomile) :D but it wasn’t hot cuz is not very nice drink a hot tea with 35°C.

As I wrote a couple of week ago, I’ve been making up a plan for a project in the fabrics’ retailer. These two week have been fairly tuff, working 8 to 9 hours a day, reading and learning on the day-to-day. So far, my partner is working very hard too. I believe she’s motivated as well. I learn from her everyday but I always try to find alternative solutions as a way to compare different options.

Perhaps, we’ll be presenting the plan to chairman of the company during next week. We must find the ways to convince him about the benefits of everything what we’re offering but let me tell you that I’ve been making mistakes during the development of the project plan. I guess is normal for inexperience people.

2 Weeks after the Cuban Trip

Yes… now things are different… i’m running out of money and now I need to steal or get start a job. During these two week I’ve been searching on these job portals where you can publish your CV and find a vacancy according to your profile but, you know what, I really think this is not the best way to find one effectively, therefore, I started to send résumés to people that somehow I know and are working on companies where I’d like to work too but in either cases I haven’t received good choices so I’m still looking for.

On the other hand I was asked to work as advisor or junior consultant in a fabric retailer of my city, afterward I’m working on a proposal to improve point-of-sale and inventory processes. This project is planned to be executed by my partner and me… and by the way, I have support from my uni to start a firm. It’s a challenge but is very motivating for me.

I’m really excited at this time but I’m also a bit worry about a failure on this, anyway I’ll put all the effort to achieve the goals and objectives defined. I would be glad to write good news on this blog next week, so, keep reading.

Bye bye!

The Cuban Trip

This trip, organized during the last week of May was fantastic. The group visiting the Caribbean island was composed by Alicia, Alma, Yésica, Yohanna, Joaquín, Oscar and Me. The interesting thing about this group is that it wasn’t a group of friends before, I met most of them but I didn’t use to go out and stuff with them. Anyway during the week in Cuba we were together the whole week we shared many things.

If you thing Cuba is an exotic and very interesting country, I agree with you. They have a great mix of cultures which create a wonderful Caribbean culture. People is very friendly, they love talking with foreign, they enjoy simple things of life, they love music which is present in every place, and as extra information I would like to tell u that they don’t have analphabetism and they one of the best medical services in the world with one of the lowest infancy death rate.

Perhaps you thing that they’re not happy with their life and the government but I’d say, what I could appreciate during this week, the greater population agree with the regime. On the other hand many of the citizens would change things of the country… current politics seem to be changing.

Take a look at the pictures of Picasa (http://picasaweb.google.com/ochand)… they’re nice. Aren’t they?

Read me next week :D

Celebrating!

I just came back from Cuba and now that I have more free time I was in the way to post when I realized that I haven written since the 11th of may, shit… 2 week off… as always I don’t want take even a week off but urgent things take control of me… hahaha…

I will start writing what I’ve been doing since the 11th…

As you read along the lines of the last post, I had a dinner with the alumnae (graduates) and our closed family, I mean, we had 4 chairs; mom, sister, bertha and me… few hours before we had a mass cuz is common in Mexico have it in order to thank God for the ending of our studies… anyway after the mass we took pics, you know, with the family and friend and other graduates then Almita, Paúl, Raúl and me went to a coffee shop closed to the cathedral we drank a beer to start with the celebration :D… unfortunately Raúl forgot the keys of his car so I were a bit delayed to the dinner, but wasn’t a problem, finally were there.

During the dinner we were so happy cause it was very nice cuz many people were there congratulating us and taking pictures with us. I was in charge of the speech of my major. I think it was quite concrete and I feel that I say exactly what I wanted to say. After that, we had the dinner and it finished around 12 am cuz the degree delivery was the day after in the morning.

The solemn ceremony took place in the main theater of the city. There were a lot of important people from the institute and one of the most important business people was in charge of the speech for the graduates. I got my degree and then we took pics and stuff… after this I had luch with my family in a restaurant, I slept during the afternoon to recover energies and start the weekend celebration.

During the evening I went to a party organized by a group of graduated, it was in the garden pretty nice, we danced and drank whisky and beer, it was funny and I really enjoy it but I couldn’t stay a long time cuz we had plans to camp at the bech the day after.

In the morning of Saturday, we agreed to meet us in Violetas’ house to depart to Altata, this beach that I’ve mentioned lots of times before. The first stop was in El Tambor, a beach near Altata, but with no houses, only the open beach not a bay. We made a kind of photo session directed by Adolfo, a friend, who loves photography. The session was great; there are lot of pictures in facebook, but in my friends profiles… I will try to get all of them to have them with me. Just after this we went to Altata and we started to make up the camping and stuff, we spent the whole night having fun, drinking some beers and eating, the day after Cynthia was celebrating her graduation with a big party, we were very tired cuz you as you might guess we didn’t sleep enough but anyway we were there and we danced the whole night… lol… :D…

… to be continue… with Cuban Trip...
