Sitting in another chair

Can you believe I am in Vietnam!!!!??? I dont even believe it myself! Promise to tell you all about it once I am back in Madrid.. Day by day... So far, one of my best trips... If you ever have the chance.. take it.. and enjoy it.. Right now, Im headding off to the beach.. so goodbye readers!!!

A white coat, a pair of white tennis and a voice sweet but "slightly" out of tune started the night. Dolores O'Riordan was on stage, singing for the first time after 7 years out. Walking from one side to the other side of the "Vista Alegre" stage, dancing like to make a fool of herself, saying over and over again "Gracias" to the audience. An hour and a half were just not enough for those who had high expectations from this concert (myself included). Songs like "Animal Instinct", "Promises", "Linger", "Zombie", "Salvation"... were the most chanted ones. We definitely missed "Just my Imagination". The scenography was not as impressive as the ones that I have seen not long ago in the "Depeche Mode's concert" or in the "The Killers" one. But still, this group didnt need that in order to make people enjoy its music and its simpleness.

Mimi, my flatmate, whose also known as Mylène, had some french friends over at our house. Since Mimi doesn't go out much to places that involve alcohol and "I do", she was counting on me to take her friends out and introduce them to Madrid's nightlife. Where to take them was the BIG question... She wanted to go to a big place with cool music and cool people.. We had 2 options: " Kapital " wich is nearby our house has 7 floors + different music on each floor or " Pacha " which only features electro music. I think you can guess what we chose. Kapital was crowded. We spent about 1 hour just trying to put our coats in the wardrobe. Don't even get me started on how long it took us to order one drink! First we chose to go to the "latin music floor" and we spent about 2 hours metting some people and dancing a bit.. Then we went for a tour of the 7th floor which is a terrace. The terrace had a laid-back atmosphere, chillout music and cool se...

The subject of this post is the copy of an initiative that my flatmate started. She was taking pictures during 365 days and sending it to her closest friends and family during her stay in Spain as " Erasmus " in Madrid. So, starting tomorrow I will be posting a photo and my experience in a specific day, which I hope you enjoy.

Do you like sports? Well, as I have said in many of my previous posts, I dont like sports very much. But this weekend we had some french girls (friends of my flatmate) that wanted to go to a basketball match. Since I have a friend that works for one of the teams (Madrid - Estudiantes) and which with luck were playing this weekend, we went there and entered without paying. We were located in a zone that was worth 40 euros per head. When you access the stadium is interesting to see how well ligthed it is. A lot more people than what I expected. During the quarter breaks, kids entered to play in the main area. And its just very funny to see that the kids are so short and the basket is so friking high that they wouldnt score not even in dreams.. A new experience, just as many as what I have lived this past month.... I strongly recommend you go to one of this matches... Either in Madrid or in your local city.

How good is it to feel that when you are leaving work late there is someone/something waiting for you... How good is it to feel that you don't need to rush to the last bus, because your car is there .. Transportation here is good. Good enough compared to the one of the Dominican Republic and I believe that it is compared to some other countries... But still.. isn't it better to have your favorite music turned on, the air conditioner on or the windows down whenever you want them, or simply arriving or leaving at the time you please. Not being surrounded by thousands of people like a tuna can. I miss arriving home from work in 10 minutes, the food made by my granma, my dog barking whenever she heard the sound of my Ford's wheels. I so miss my sweet tiny Ford Festiva :( No matter how difficult was to turn in a corner, because of the hard wheel. No matter how many times it didn't want to run. No matter how weird I may look.

24 is a good number.. It is the number of hours in a day, the name of a good tv show.. and the most important thing, is my new age... Yep.. Yesterday was my birthday.. And it is not that I like this very much, but I guess I have no choice but to face the reality and deal with this until I turn 25. The few past weeks were pretty strange. My nearly 4 year relationship came to an end, my direct manager was changed to the person whom I was really working with and my rent was reduced 30€.. One of those 3 things hurts me a lot, but I try not to think about it too much, otherwise I would cry all day long... One of those 3 things makes me feel that my company realized that one should depend on those who are actually overseeing what you are doing, because its the only way to progress and be evaluated fairly... And one of those 3 things makes me feel as if miracles can happen! Having rent reduced!? Has that ever happen to anyone?! Again, 24 ... wow.. many things have happened in my life.. where ...
