one month and almost one

Dear blog-diary,

It's been one more month that me and Fer are together, it's our month-aversary, we're now officially 2 years and 4 months as a couple :) we're celebrating it in style and going to Camaron Shrimp Company.

What have we been doing? Well, mostly having fun. We re-discovered my cell phone can double as a digital camera, well everyone has been complimenting our pictures saying things like "omg I thought it was a professional camera" and such. Last weekend we went on a walk-trek to a park in Bosques del Valle, it had lots of trees, vegetation and that aroma of fresh grass. We took lots of pics and I'll try and see how I can post them here. remember I'm a noob as a blogger, so bear with me.

My boss has given me the freedom to choose my vacation dates and they'll be the 2nd and 3rd week of june, Fer's case is not as good as mine, but he'll manage. Veracruz is just a mere 3 weeks away.

Still no news from the Québec delegation :( this is I think the first time I want someone to charge me so badly I can't stand it... hehe well I'll have to exert my patience and think of other things. 

My MBA is finished this September. We're currently thinking about maybe enrolling in a college or something and that way if I'm married to someone, then Fer would get an employment permit, or so I've read...have to find and do more searching on the matter.

Last night, while searching for a file on my desktop at home I found some documents I had written...it was surreal to read about things I wrote about five years ago or even more.

I remember having been asked 'Why?' and my reply was that I couldn't be someone else, even if I tried, I would be myself...but I don't get it, why does it have to be so complicated for the others? I never question them or why they're how they are, they JUST ARE...so why can't I?

so, yes, I'm trying to get to somewhere where I don't have to explain myself because they do understand that one can't be or shouldn't be trying to live life explaining each and every movement they take or make.

wtyl,

angels & demons

well it's been some few days from the last post, still no news on the Quebec Delegation, so we're still on our toes waiting for any news...

It's been hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooth in here, so hot that we're making preparations for the installation of a minisplit, 'cause the heat is unbearable.

the good news is that we passed our French courses, I'll be now in 2nd level and Fer will be in level 2, which is all good, considering we are enjoying it more than when we started them. and we've learnt a few things or more.

we're always day dreaming about our futures, Fer plans to take a new career turnpoint....he wants to make a BIG splash on the fashion clothing industry and I support him :D yay for my panda bear!

from the logo to the name to how to conduct the business hehe we're sooooo business-y :)

and we'll try to think of some other stuff like going on vacation to Veracruz. The tickets were so cheap, for the two of us it's going to cost us a mere $120 and hotel stay about $164 or so, so we'll try the tourist-y side of our selfs and enjoy time on the beaches.

interesting notes: LOST is almost finished...yes I know it HAS ended, but I haven't watched it so it'll end on MY terms hehehe they say the finale ROCKS!

We'll watch also gossip girl, jonas, better off ted and star trek, possibly in that order haha and we're going out, we plan to mingle with some friends. saturday night out, baby, we'll wear our dancing hats and happy faces to the club. 

ocho de mayo

yeah, well...mmm I still haven't been charged for the application, which means either a) they don't want to charge me and they're doing it for free!!! yay for meeee or b) they haven't been working these past few days...

probably the latter...

h-anyways, I have decided to change the focus of this blog, why? you may ask... well since it's going to take some time, I guess I'll write about some other stuff. bare with me. I'll try and keep it interesting, yes, to me haha since no one else writes or reads, I think.

ok, so the other day we went to the movies, we watched 'I love you, man' it was a good movie, but not great.  it made me realize some things

1. we don't always have friends that share our same interests or let's say our futures

2. making friends is hard

3. some people never grow up

i can say i have friends, or at least I consider them that way. But most of my friends don't share my view of the world. Even though I'm 28, they think they're like 14 or 18. They want to party hard all the time and overspend. Most of them never save money or have an idea outside of a job to pay for their wants and "needs". It's not that I don't want to go out, but I have greater ideas for my future and won't compromise them with a trip to Vegas or Europe or going to a concert first-row.

I want to marry. Have kids. a house with modern appliances in blue or red :P a backyard to have bbq's or gatherings. trips around the world. but those things I'll get when I start my life and that starts when I go to Canada. Every day it's like a day less I'll have over there so I'm trying and doing my best to have everything that's needed to succeed up North. Taking my double MBA for instance, or taking French lessons, researching about people that have already gone through the same process I'm going. Well you get the drift, know before you end up looking like a fool...or as I always like to think 'don't think about what others can do (or tell you) but what you can do on your own and perhaps help them in the way'.

Also, I still have this population in Coupleville: 2. Me and Fer. Why do all gays tend to be single?

It's hard to be the only couple I know. Well I know another couple but they are always apart, one works in the US and the other lives here... so by my terms, they are a split/couple.

It would be nice to have another couple to hang out and go on trips, whatever...We have met other couples but they don't last or are not monogamous or are fakes and wannabes...we don't want to mingle and relate with them, as they probably won't do us any good. And I'm not saying that everyone in my life will benefit us, but I mean, what good will a couple who lies and cheats to the other will bring to my life? problems, that's for sure, so I avoid them like a kid does to broccoli.

This is my semi-daily rant about life.

ps. if you know a couple that is nice tell them to contact us... :P

cheers, wtyl,

el recuento de los años

or in English, the telling of the years (quite literal so it doesn't make sense)...anyhoo

well it's been a while since I posted anything new, so here it goes, in one sentence...or more, I'll write what has happened in our happy life :P

28 April: We got what we wanted yeah!!! work was suspended on the premises, so we could work from home... initially that sounded great... so I woke up late and went to the Campus to do a backup of some important files, then we went to the supermarket and buy plenty stock, the crazies were saying that maybe food supplies would be scarce, and so, we obliged... :P

29 April: first day working @home, what did I discover? working at home is not what I had imagined it to be....I'm not used to work with this laptop and was missing my SUPER powerful desktop...everything takes longer home because you're easily distracted by anything, from taking a peek at your bed and longing for an extra five minutes of sleep, to the TV, etc etc you get the drill...oh and this day I went for the birthday-dinner-party of my mother-in-law :P you gotta love those hyphens hehehe Swine flu alert got to level five! Yikes!

30 April: we had a virtual meeting... which represented more work for me... happy children's day? mmm here we celebrate kids this day, don't know if it is celebrated elsewhere. I felt sick, worried about this stupid swine flu...because I had runny nose, nausea, dizzyness, lack of apetite, etc and I didn't go out, because I feared it might be contagious... or whatever, I was just plain tired.

May 1st: no work makes Aldo happy :P well this day everything started to go back to normal, since they said swine flu was not as lethal. We had lunch with my grandpa and a visitor from outside...a Nun! ehehe we drove around and watched some TV at fer's home.

May 2nd: We are bored...what can we do if everything is closed?? we got in TV-Series mood :) we hugged and don't know if anyone saw us :O we ate dinner at carl's jr. Oh and Fer bought me an extra cool blue-squares shirt, LOVES IT!

May 3rd: I wore my new shirt hehe. we went to the shopping mall and everything was closed but some food joints, we had icecream, later we bought some tacos for dinner. Watched marley and me, note to self: never buy a dog that grows larger than me...

May 4th: I hate mondays...I had lots of work, I finished around 8, we found an excellent package to Veracruz (yeah, where the swine flu originated, talk about intelligent choice for a travel destination, but what the heck, we could use some time apart from industrialization...) I didn't see fer, his laptop is like having issues or something, but we managed to cyber-meet.

May 5th: Here I am, dreading tomorrow 'cause we'll go back to work as swine flu season has officially ended...for the time being. :( I don't want to have to wake up at 6... hehe waking up at 10 is a-ok by me :P and, Canada hasn't charged me with the application fee, so that means my application is still sitting at some desk collecting dust...let's hope everything gets back on track and that they speed up things at their front.
