On the inconsistency of my posting and the reason for a new blog

Well, since I couldn't seem to actually post to this blog, I started another one (ha!)...

I decided this new one would hold a collection of stuff that catches my eye while surfing the web (because I want all the cool stuff I like in one spot...I share things on facebook or google+...and then I forget about them, until a while later when I want to find something specific and can't remember where I shared it!).

Meanwhile, this old one will still be here to share exciting events in my life (ha! Don't hold your breath!...exciting hasn't been around for a while, as the dates of these posts can attest), outings, pictures and melodramatic rants.

Hi...remember me?

I finally found my blog again!! Lost it there for a while. :)
Well, you know, I've been really busy with, ah.... uhmm...uhmmm...important stuff...

...Like changing the color (just added highlights) of my hair... On a sidenote, getting your hair styled is good for your self-esteem... (well, assuming you go to a hairdresser that speaks the same language you do...literally and metaphorically :) ). I haven't had my hair this long since I was a young college student.



Before the hair thing, I was busy walking around the capital of my country, enjoying the contrasts of culture, architecture and social status. While busy with an internship at the Ministry of Education, I snuck in a few sight-seeing moments (unfortunately didn't have my camera with me, just the feeble cellphone one).

The Colón Opera House/Teatro Colón (mind you this is not colon related, rather Columbus related :) ). We (colleague and I) got there just in time for the last guided tour of the day...in English! (I was pleasantly surprised. It was quite good, actually).



We also stopped by the Galerías Pacífico/Shopping mall (window shopping mainly, as the prices are quite high-end). Looking at the beautifully painted ceilings is free, so we did lots of that. :)

Then it was back to work...work...work.
Brainstorming....on every available wall and board!! But hey, the 30 page document is finished! (well, mostly).

And that's a wrap-up, folks! Until next time!
