I LOVE the feeling of hearing a song that reminds you of a vivid memory.. listening to ¨Jessie¨ by Joshua Kadison has been giving me those goosebumps for the past week-- oh how great were the days of setting up our very own NHL Skills Competition (even creating our own goalie with the 5 hole!) in David´s basement and rollerblading around with our ( Read more... )

 Let´s just say that this journal will not do justice in describing the greatness of the past 6 days, but here is my lame attempt to try to do so ( Read more... )

Yesterday my movil decided to take a swim... in the toilet at work!!  Qué asco!!   Talk about a not-so-funny at the moment, funny story!!  At least my coworkers got a good laugh and later my kids loved playing with my movil because now when you put the battery in it, the phone constantly vibrates and has a black, fogged up screen, until you take it ( Read more... )

As you can see, I barely have internet, but I hope that is about to change as I am currently looking for another flat.. I have this week to find something and move out!  haha  and yes, as I have been disconnected from the other part of the world, internet is one of my reqs..

Yes, I´m still alive.  Still without internet at home as well.  2Euros each hour for internet is definitely not one of the perks of living in one of the best parts of Madrid :P ( Read more... )

To be honest, it was pretty rough to ( Read more... )

 .. I just found out that Saina, an int´l girl who had studied at EMU a few yrs ago, was hit by a tram and killed.. I can´t imagine.. RIP Saina

sometimes I wonder.. do I not pursue things because I'm almost afraid that they're TOO good, almost like if I get them, I'd have nothing else to look forward to, creating explanations/ideas rationalizing why they'd never work out, therefore never doing it.. Or is there too high of a chance of having a 'certainty factor' and I'm afraid of committing ( Read more... )
