I am bloody tired. I am tired of being the 'oldest sister' who has to know and remember things that I didn't even know existed. I am tired of having that brat always rushing me when the one who has to be much more rushed is him. I am tired of never working at my own pace.

When I had two moths here I knew where to look for every document in the dept ( Read more... )

I was really not planning to make a recount of the things that happened in 2008, but it was so eventful that I will enumerate a few:

- I got a very good payrise
-Discovered the concept of 'dressing up' 
- Cecilia, Sadara and Araceli were fired (thank God!)
- Unfortunately, Brisa was also fired. 
- Anyhow, Gaby, Janeth and Jose Luiswere hired and they  ( Read more... )

I immensely admire his writing. He always makes wrtten words feel near and warm and full of intonations and expressions that normally can only be perceived in a tete-a-tete. I want him to copyright my books, when I write them.

Till yesterday, my concept of 'entropy' was very linked to that of temperature, specially to absolute zero (of course). But ( Read more... )

I feel terrible today. I got the flu and feel all disperse and depressed. Friends have been fun, though, even if they are located quite afar. This Saturday I will dine with the Mootants and look forward to it.

I wanted so much to read 'Feux', but I cannot resist a book which has archangel Israfil in its cover. So now I'm stuck with 'Two oriental ( Read more... )

It bloody took me six months but... I made it to chinese sixth level!!!!! Though Diego will no longer take classes with me, and I don't know how Melina's exam turned out. Arturo also passed, so if Mei LiSan didn't pass, I will not be all alone.

It would have been kind of riculous not to pass me after I was introduced to the Xú guy as one of the ( Read more... )

Margarita, who was my chinese fourth level teacher, said my tones are far better that the other girl that also spoke to Pedro Xú last week, though I still need to practice. She also said that the other two native teachers told her that I was better than that other girl, who is also a first level techer. I think Margarita was just trying to be nice ( Read more... )

This year I will wear this makeup to the New Year's Party and reclaim my title as the Belle of the Ball:

I still have to decide what will be my outfit. I am thinking seriously of wearing the dress I wore for Gab's Daughter baptism, or the grey long-sleeved dress with fishnets, but this latter is really too much. I'd rather keep it for a really ( Read more... )

I was chosen to say a welcome speech to a certain Chinese professor that will visit the daxue in two weeks. I am also due to say a tongue-twister at the same event. The teacher chose me because (supposedly) my accent and intonation are good and clear, though my grammar bu tai hao.

The speech is fine, I am quite sure I can learn it and say it ( Read more... )

I am kind of paranoic when it comes to work. I am always fearing that someone, in order to slither out of shit, will say that I did not send a mail, or that he or she didn't receive it. That is why I keep not only the sent mails, but also the delivery reports. I've done so ever since I started working here.

That has saved my ass in numerous ( Read more... )

I was just informed that lasser hair removal takes from 3 to 8 sessions to get the desired results!!!! And that each session needs to be spaced from 3 to 12 weeks.

I really thought that you could go to the clinic and get epilated in about half an hour and reintegrate to society free from vellum and all lady-shaven.

Alas, no.

I am not willing to waste ( Read more... )
