New GUP

Well, another gup under the belt, or at the belt, I don´t really know. Last Sunday was the adults exam at our dojang, and we all passed the test. The only freakish moment was when Jean Marie (who by the way doesn't like her name) noticed she didn't have her diploma(?) and there were none left at the table. She asked what was that about and Soobamnim ran to look for it.

Well, so now we're (Christina (who by the way doesn't like her name either), Jean Marie, and I) all now green and blue belts. Pictures are here.

And also, nice 2 notice some 3 people mentioning the fact I don't write much these days. What can I say? I'm sorry, people, but I got depressed when I thought my friends were quitting TKD. Also, I live freakishly far from work, so I get home late, and my bro's chatting every night. By now, all I know is that work seems to have solved itself. No more guilty stares, I get out at 5, as it SHOULD BE. Well, that, or my next check will be their last for me. Jaja, I know, again with the "getting fired" paranoia, that's me. I need to learn too much stuff, and there's too little time... Need to learn Japanese...

By now, lets wait for Music Fest and see how that goes, and also if really got the guts to move out of my house... I'll need a laptop... and my ps2... and my dvd's... and also a girlfriend who will teach me how to cook, and clean a house... oh! and money, I guess...

Some news... some bad, some good

New style from now on. No more divs... never really liked them. Well, unless people like ask 4 it or something..., but I really doubt that will happen.

So, I saw "Codito" the other day. Funnily enough, he was driving out of a parking spot that belongs to the company that I work for... hmmm... let's let it slide. Well, he asked if I'm not writing anymore. I think I'm not writing anymore, 'cause not much people reads this... that's kinda sad.

Now, some good news, my friends and I are moving up another gup this weekend (si Dios quiere). So we must be getting our blue-green belts (I'm not the 1 in charge of the colors). I'll try to post some pictures. Man, I was thinking I was gonna be the only one to get that degree, Christina and Jean Marie were missing classes, but they've been going this last week and they're ready enough. I'll be helping this red belt guy who's gonna show off how he knows how to break people's back over his knee. Qué Sólido, Awe'ao!!! Well, the other red belts are chicks and they don't want to do it, and I just can't let them be worried about that.

And the latest, if you heard about this street by Villa Cáceres that got hit by a truck... we were right there!! Yes, we just got out of the car, ordered, and the fireworks started. The truck that was being carried by the other truck hit the street light and loosened a high-voltage wire. So, Jean Marie just wouldn't get into her car, 'cause the wire was under it. She says starting her car could make her get electrocuted... well, the firefighter who moved her car didn't die or anything, so... Watch the pics.

Watch Fun with Dick & Jane

Not only is it hilarious, you could actually learn one or two things about what could happen to you when all that matters in your life is working for a big company.

Pay special attention to what was Dick's (Jim Carrey's character) pension plan. To me it was the funniest thing in the movie. I'm sure that has happened to a lot of people.

Well, not much more 2 say without spoiling the fun of the movie. Just remember to be ready for when you get fired, or the company you work for goes belly up.

Back 2 Bloggin...

I'm back!
Well, after a few days that my PC was dead, it's back at work, so I'm back at blogging... I don't care if only 4 people read my blog.

After all, my friends say it was a sign from the heavens that I should dump working on carnavales. Funny thing is they're kinda right, what I was going to do is not what the client wants, so it'd have been wasted time.

So, today I learned a few things, like the fact that I WAS about to get fired from my first job when I quit from it. No hard feelings there, I had a great year in my next job. Also, it seems now that my way of working is not 100% wrong, as it's getting easier to leave at 5PM o'clock without the "guilty stares".

What else???.... Oh, yes, so Christinaquit from her job and got a new one. However, she had to "botarla" (do her thing) and be worried that they would'nt let her leave 'till all her work was finished. I mean, don't you realize there's new work for you everyday? It's never gonna get done! No matter what you do! But well.... that's Christina. Man, and she and Jean Marie are shy about getting a picture taken... it's like trying to get throught carnival without drinking a beer. Which reminds me, that "wine" they make in Santiago does have a great flavour.

And now, some pics from "LOS CARNAVALES".
