My language crazy brain and its irregularities and stuff on my life
It's taken me forever to finish books lately. I just can't concentrate enough... I find it frustrating. XD ( Read more... ) -
Books you'd never thought you'd like
Since last year, my boyfriend kept telling me about this anime and novel called 'Sword Art Online', about players that get trapped in a virtual reality game, and the only way out is to reach the top floor and beat the boss. If they die in the game, they die in real life too. I admit it sounded interesting, but I saw the first episode of the anime ( Read more... ) -
Soon, mini holidays
One more day and I'll be off to the beach for 4 days. I know it's insane to go out on Easter, everything is full, but I so need the days off the city and away from everything. Besides, since we choose a sort of exclusive hotel with its own private beaches, it can't have more people than the one that can fit in the hotel, so it shouldn't be ( Read more... ) -
There's a virus going around
I got sick Monday and had to stay home for 3 days. There's an influenza outbrake right now in Mexico, is not particularly serious, no one is dying, but the meds for it have run out, so they are recommending people that if they feel sick (influenza or not, problem is the symptomps are the same) they stay home and take care, so as to not pass it on ( Read more... ) -
Wonderful Valentine's date
Work was a bit crazy last week, lots of translations to do for a trainning they will be providing for call center. And it calmed down since Friday so right now I've got free time. I had my first Portuguese test on Saturday, I think it was good, it was like the exercises we've done in class, so nothing we didn't know about. And they I just came back ( Read more... ) -
Of Social Security and Popes visiting
The IMSS (which is the equivalent of the NHS for England) oversees all health related issues here in Mexico along with the ISSTE. They are two different organisms and it depends on your company which one you will use. I've got IMSS, which I have to say, are nicer than ISSTE as far as I know. At least they sound more helpful on the phone ( Read more... ) -

Finally have a physical place at work
So, up until now I've been on a conference room as my office. It has been fine, I like the quietness of the place and the fact that nobody bothered me. However, my boss moved to another office building with two of our team colleagues (as far as I know, we have 3 or 4 buildings, we're suppossed to move to one some time this year) and so a spaced ( Read more... ) -
It's not easy being a bookworm
So, since people found out last year that I took on a reading challenge, starting this year I got an invite for 2 challenges. This is not good, mostly because I already have a ton of books on my TBR list and I shouldn't be adding books that I would have to buy. XD One was suggested by a friend from college, problem is that a lot of books repeat ( Read more... ) -
