Metamorphosis - Stage #3

Renaissance:

Here I am in the first post of the year..

Last days of 2007 are gone, and, as I posted before, I went to BCN and had a wonderful time with many friends and great people I met there!!

Here you can see some pictures from the trip:

Montjuic

Right now I'm in Buenos Aires figuring out what to do within the next months and of course enjoying my friends and people around me.

Geek section:
I use skype very often in my Linux/Debian machine, but that version doesn't have the SMS option, altought the API does allow it, so I've tried some python tools made by a Skype developer and the SMS script seems to work fine.
Here is the blog of this guy explaining how to install them.

Goals

Talking with a friend from Orlando today about my goals for this year makes me realize they weren't in my blog, so I thought of adding a short section (look at the right side) with all them and publishing a post like this one to comment it..

2007 - I wanted to..

[change my 2006 job] decision based on a professional growth. I cannot complaint, I was working in a huge company with excelent people around me.

[get my driver license] since I've never needed it, I was never interested in it, but in MTV is unthinkable not to have it.

[finish my eng. degree] this is something I've posposed to make some trips, so it was time to make it end.

[improve my english] I want to understand everything and being understanded by anyone in all aspects of the english language. I made some improvements, this blog is also helping a lot.

[live alone] somehow at the beginning of the year I was living with my father, obviously I rather like to live in my own apartment.

2008 - Expectations..

Hopefully next year I'll have more stability in my life. I want to settle down somewhere (I have to find out which place would be the best for me), get a job where I can feel I'm growing professionally, and have a nice person who I can enjoy all that with..

[Time for me to stop the car somewhere and enjoy the view]

Metamorphosis - Stage #2

Before my announced trip I've been studying for 2 weeks (and that's why I haven't answered some emails, sorry) to take the 2 last tests for my title of "Information Systems Engineer".. and I've passed them!! so now I don't have to worry about it anymore!! Amazing, uh!?

You may not believe this but I got my tickets to BCN 32 hs before the flight (12/19, the same day I took my last test) and they are not electronic ones.. so you can imagine how insecure (aka scared) I was about it.. but luckily I'm here now! pheew!

Unfortunately, I didn't get any news about a job I want to get [no more info for now ;) ], so that added a bit of nervousness to my head.. at least I'm sure this uncertainty won't last for a long time..

As I've anticipated, I'm in BCN and I'm staying in the hostel "La Palmera".

Here I was having fun with a friend and another great people, we were talking a lot, hanging around, going out, having some "tapas",.. in two words: enjoying BCN! :)

Yesterday I was walking around the city and taking pictures to the buildings which have a very particular architecture.. really awesome! (I'll upload some photos soon).

Metamorphosis - Stage #1

*tap tap* - Is this thing on?..

Well, in this opportunity I want to proudly announce that finally, and after so many indecisions and researches, I bought my ticket to Barcelona (aka BCN)!! so I'll be flying next Friday (12/21) and I'll be there till the first Friday of January (01/04)..

I don't know where I'm gonna stay yet, but soon I will hopefully find that out..
