Part time (25 hours a week) in the customer department of an international electricity company. I star the training on Monday, which will last 3 weeks, 8 hours a day, and for which I will be getting 500€.
Also, trip to up north has been confirmed. I’ll be off with my parents from Wednesday 10th (evening) to Monday 15th (its bank holiday in Spain, so no work on Thursday nor Friday).
And yesterday was so much, i mean SO MUCH FUN lol. Go check out the pics in my Flickr!

I even fail to do monthly updates lol. I didn’t update in May at all, oh well!
I’m still unemplyed, and its really depressing. Its been hard keeping my head above the water in ‘09 so far, and it doesn’t seem like its going to change any time soon.
However, i’m keeping my fingers crossed for a position i applied a few weeks ago. I went to the interview last week, they sent my resume to the company, the company liked it and a girl from human resources called me today for a phone interview. It went ok, she said she’ll finish doing phone interviews this week, so then she’ll call me for a third and final interview at the company.
Its only 70 hours a month, but its super good salary just for those hours. Plus, working only 7 days a month, i could easily get another job, if i found one that is lol.
I might make a quick trip to our house up north with my parents any time next week. Haven’t been there since last year when we bought, haven’t seen the changes or anything, so i’m kinda excited.
Summer is approaching way too fast. Its fucking boiling and its getting hard to have a nice sleep at night. I H A T E summer, hell yes i do.
That’ll be all! I hope everyone is doing great. Btw, i got myself a Twitter in English *points to sidebar* so go follow me! Kthx.
3 months today since the last time i updated. Yeah, i should be ashamed of myself, but let’s skip the whole “i’m sorry i haven’t updated blah blah” because its not like anyone cares nor reads my shit anyway!
Let’s see, in these past 3 months i haven’t found a job. Actually, i had a shitty job for a week but didn’t make it after the 1st week. So situation was a bit critical after being 5 months unemployed (Spain has a higher unemployment rate that all the Europeans countries in the European Union together, good Lord), my dad made me decide between studying to apply for a govement job or GTFO basically. So, obviously, i chose studying something i hate.
I’ve had a few problems with the academies i’ve encountered for the issue, but it was destined to suck balls since i didn’t want to do this to begin with. Bleh, i’ll find a way around it, eventually!
2 days before my parents’ trip to Mexico my dad fell and broke his humerus. He was in hospital for 2 weeks before he got surgery done, and then 3 more days post-surgery. He is home now and doing rather ok, back to his old self, whather that’s good or not, no comments.
I’ve also been partying a bit too much lately, too often for my own good and a bit more than i can actually afford. You can catch up with the pictures in my Flickr *points to navigation bar* Good times tho, GREAT times. Last night was crazy.
Since i’m a “student” again but still need money, my brother asked me if i’d like to go to his house a few times a week to do the chores and take my niece to the swimming pool twice a week. Normally his wife does this, but she is 10 weeks pregnant and bleeding, she was in hospital last week and she is back home but has to rest, so i’m doing that for them in exchange for a few bucks! (€uros really haha)
And, sadly, that’s all. It is weird summing 3 months of my life in a few lines lol
Now that i’m here, i’m gonna update the navbar and info and stuff. LATER!
Christmas is almost here! And i haven’t got a job yet, ugh! I keep going to interviews and sending resumes, but nothing. I need to get a job ASAP in order to go ahead with my *secret* plan haha!
Since i don’t have a job and haven’t been doing much lately, there’s nothing really to update on. It was my friend’s birthday party yesterday but it got cancelled in the last minute. So 2 hours getting ready, nails done, hair done, make up done and dressed for nothing! Bleh, at least i got to take a few self centered pictures HAHA.
Something i’m really excited about (because i’m a nerd like that!) is the Christmas Card Swap we’re doing at the boards! I sent out about 20 xmas cards and am expecting to get 15-20 as well! So far i’ve only received Sarah’s, love you!
Some of you expect to receive mine veryyy soon HAHAHEHEHAHAHO!
Life is simply chaotic right now. I’m done working at the academy (woohoo! up your ass PSYCHO). I finished there on Nov. 25th, have been to a couple interviews since, no call from any of them, but it’s cool.
I’m currently looking for a temporary position. I can not talk about it yet, but i have plans, big plans, so i need a job just for a few weeks. You’ll know why, eventually.
Definetely the best thing i got out of working at the academy is my friend Sofia. I’ve realized that from every place/job/couirse i’ve done i’ve gotten a good friend out of, which is good!
I’ve hanged out with Sofia couple times since we both got done at the academy (she quitted too). And it’s great. I.E, yesterday we went “statue raping” around the city LOL! And yes, it is exactly what you think it is!
I had quite a family day today. Went to see some family i haven’t seen in a long time and got to bond with one of my younger cousins. It’s amazing, you remember little cousins like cute little kids and now she’s 17 and almost exactly like i was at her age. We got to talk, and like i said, basically bonding over all kind of random stuff (mostly parties, friends and family views lol).
And then i came home to find my niece and nephew here. I’m taking my niece to watch Bolt on Friday, has anyone seen it? I hope it’s fun!
Many more pictures in my Flickr, although i must add you as friend so you can see them.

After a 2 weeks holidays, i came back to work yesterday. Not for long tho, since my contract expires on the 25th and they’re not renewing me (as for now, we’ll see. Wish i could explain further).
I really don’t know what to do now, and i hate finding myself in this situation. I could find another job instantly, or as soon as possible, and start working again, or i could take a break until after Christmas, and then find a job. I’m not desperate for a new job, not too keen on the idea of starting in a new place, new people, etc, and could live off the money i’ll be paid for the expiring contract for a few weeks. So just in case, i’m sending out resumes and going interviews. As a matter of fact i have one this evening, wish me luck!
Many people at work are quitting, or leaving, or not being renewed as me. Yesterday i stayed for lunch after my shift, it was fun, entertaining. It’s kind of sad leaving a place where you can have so much fun and get along so well with your coleagues, but oh well! C’est la vie.
I’m in desperate need of an Asian chicken and Starbucks session with Miguel <333
To all the democrats who have voted. To all the people who made the wise and smart decision to vote for Barack Obama. No, i do not live in the United States. No, i guess it does not affect me directly, JUST directly, because what does the USA that doesn’t affect, one way or another, the rest of the world? So for putting and end to 8 years of misery, THANK YOU.
A little something i told someone at the boards:
“All those republicans saying they’re scared of what’s going to happen, well welcome to our side, that’s how the democrats and the rest of the world has been feeling for the past 8 years. And we’ve been proven to have things to be scared of. What are you scare of? Obama not wanting to bomb every country in the middle east?
You said your country is based on military, and if Obama cuts 25% of it there’s no way you can have/be economic power. Why does your country need such big military force? No, really. How many times has your country been attacked by a foreign country in the past century? TWICE. Pearl Harbor in ‘41 (which happened in the WWII, so it doesn’t count because we all were getting fucked) and 9/11.
Yours is one of the most populated countries in the world, and even with 25% less of military, you’ll still be one of the richest ones, if not the richest.
This is not the 16th century anymore. Countries don’t go around trying to invade other countries for their territory. The Spanish Armada it’s not going to pop around Florida to cause trouble. The British won’t try to get their territory back. The Portuguese have enough in their plate, frenchies have moved on, and the rest of colonizer countries from the middle age have better things to do, it’s been centuries since we’ve had better things to do.
So maybe, the money that was going to be used for that 25% of the military will help families in your country. Isn’t that what goverments are for? To help their people, their citizens? Why invest so many fucking millions on sending troops to countries where you have no business at? Serisouly.
Maybe that money, instead of being spent at Iraq on military stuff, will be used to improve your very poor social security system. Maybe it will be used to help ex army families to start a new life as normal citizes. Maybe it will be used for social causes, medicine, charities, or any other problem more important to you than killing muslims.
Have you heard of the term “culture of terror“? That’s how experts, politicians and journalists over here describe how Bush has kept you for this past 8 years. “OH we will be attacked! People are meanies, they wants us downZzZ!” Well NO. 9-11 happened, it was horrible, but probably didn’t come out of the blue. We were attacked too, and so was England, do you see us freaking out, our presidents asking for money for the military, planning attacks on countries that have nothing to do with it, deploying thousands of our people to kill and invade those countries? NO. Did we survive? YES, did we move on? YES, were we attacked again? NO, were you? NO.
You should be happy you’ve been providen with a modern, peaceful president.”
Sidenote. Me loves make up long time. It’s sideways, sorry!
Lol! I should update about my job status. I resigned from work (receptionist at english academy), for a new job near my house, better hours and better salary.
Is funny that the day i had my 2nd interview at the new place, the guys from the academy told me they weren’t renewing my contract (i believe for some shit that happened with my manager, i might not explain it publicly). Anyways, it felt good telling them i was quitting anyway, and handing over my 15 days notice, YOUR COMPANY SUCKS ANYWAY!! Favoritism, drama and cat fights, i’ve been over that since high school sweetie!
Not getting into details, but i have my first date EVER today (a bit silly posting about it since he may read it, i guess it was going to pop in the conversation anyways, or so i hope lol). We met yesterday online, and i know it’s crazy!!! I have never ever met a guy from the internet, and if yesterday morning i was told i’d be having dinner today with some guy from the net, i’d laugh so hard i’d probably pee myself.
As i was saying. We met yesterday, connected almost immediately (to my surprise, since in +5 years on the net i’ve never chatted that long and connected that fast with a guy). We have many things in common. From our favorite stand up comedians, to our passion for cinema (he works in the industry, in publicity. He’s an editor and he showed me his portfolio, he’s done some of the most amazing and admirable tv adverts in Spain), he also offered to edit any material i could be filming in the future, so that was cool.
SO, he asked me out for dinner today. We’re going to a sushi place in the city (Pink sushi it’s called), and then to a café near the restaurant. Am i nervous? Heck yes i am! But i have a good feeling about it. A long chat with my bff was needed to get over my insecurities, so now that i have (little by little), i hope he doesn’t stand me up!
I’ll update you guys with how it goes Wish me luck!
Ps: I made a new layout for my Spanish site, check it out!
Last week was, stressfull to say the least. I wish i could give a detailed story about it, but i appreciate my head being attached to my neck y’a know.
Last weekend i volunteered at FICMM (Madrid’s International Film Festival). I’ve checked out the gallery and you can spot me in just one picture, bummer! LOL It was funny however, met some interesting and cool people, and some Spanish celebrities (pseudo celebrities too)
Job is going ok, not counting the huge ass argument i just had with a coleague…Our Service Manager was transferred to another center and today we are expecting the new Service Manager, a british girl named Sharon with whom i did the training and chat with from time to time on Facebook, she’s hilarious!
I’m also considering getting a full time shift. It’d be 2pm-10pm, KILLER hours i know (not because it’s too many, but because after lunch until night, ugh!). But money is money right? And i need to step away from the fucking internet….Ironic, since i’m AT work and ON the internet lol. Noone can break us apart baby <3 loloser.
This is my last week before holidays! I’m on holidays from Nov. 1st till Nov. 16th. I’ll be joining my folks and grandma up north on the 3rd most probably. I couldn’t decide between going up north with my parents or down south with my bff, but i’m broke as hell to mantain myself for a week at my bff’s and my mum said she’ll pay for my train ticket up north, plus you know, when you’re with your parents you hardly ever pay for anything haha! So that’s it.
I’ve been connectionless at home for a few days, just enough to acumulate a bunch of movies in my to-watch list.
Yesterday i watched “The strangers” and “Girl with a pearl earring“. “The strangers” wasn’t as bad as expected, but it’s no masterpiece either. I think i liked it more than it deserved because it’s based on a true story, and i really can not help empathazing with the characters.
“Girl with a pearl earring” in the other hand was quite disappointing. I’ve read the book not long ago and i loved it, but we all know that movies based on books always suck if you’ve read the book before. I don’t know if it was the way they wrote the script, or the editing in post production, but they took out very important parts of the story, not mentioning the different ending. Bottom line is, the movie sucks!
It’s Halloween this Friday! I normally don’t get too excited because i never dress up or anything (i think last time i dressed up i was 12. I dressed up as a nun lmao). But yesterday my friend Angela called me saying they want to do a group dress up this year. It’d be me, Angela, Virginia and Isabel, so i give me ideas! We’re 3 white girls and a black one, if that helps! Me (you know what i look like, right?, a blonde one, a red haired one with dreadlocks and a black one with…Fuck, she changes her hair so often i don’t know what it looks like right now LOL. Well ANY IDEAS? Help!
Ps: I’ve made my Flickr public again and added some pics. ADD ME!
Wish me luck!
