The fifth mountain -
A few weeks ago I was in search of a new book to read. I wasn’t sure what to read this time. I was thinking about that for a week...but, one day, I went to my mother’s apartment and she reminded me of some books from Paulo Coelho that she had, just in case I wanted to read them. Maybe, it didn’t call my attention to read it at first (the same feeling I had with Harlan Cobein’s novel) , but - in spite of that - I gave it a try.
She had four books from this author, and - for some reason - I chose “The fifth mountain” … this book had been on our bookshelf for many years, and nobody had read it before.
I only will say I made a good choice. The story simply was catching. I enjoyed most of the dialogues between the characters, full of wisdom, and especially I enjoyed the growth of the protagonist, whose growth came from facing very challenging tests.
Finally, I would like to add that this book came at a perfect moment, since I was wondering about the purpose of some challenges of hard moments in life, and what to do in certain situations… So, if you have had the same questions as me, you could give this book a try :)

Some months ago, I have heard a very wise piece of advice from a person: “become English as part of your life”
I remember listening to those words and saying, “Yes, that’s right… English has to be in my daily life”… it may seem simple - maybe obvious - but I realized that I never do that...I used to see English as a language that I “have to” study , but I wasn't enjoying it.
So that’s why I started to have different habits.
In my process of learning, I started to apply different activities which let me learn the language related to my interests.. one of them, it’s reading. So that's why I encouraged to read a novel. To be honest, it isn’t something that I have planned at the beginning... but one day, I was in my apartment looking for something - I don’t remember what- on the last shelf of my bookshelf…and then I grabbed an old book that I didn’t know that I had. I watched its cover and I read “Gone for good”, from Harlan Coben… it didn't call my attention the first time but, beyond of that, I decided to open it …only one paragraph was enough to spark my curiosity, especially the last five words “... my brother was still alive”.
Since that day I started reading the novel.. I am not going to give specific details about the story (in order to not give any spoiler), just I am going to say each chapter doesn't end as you expect, there is alway something new coming.., even until the end.
and yes, the final made me cry a little, maybe because I am a bit sensitive, who knows haha
But I am glad to have read this novel …it gave me the motivation in keep reading and now I am in the search for my third book :)

Rain and reflexion!
Some day we can have a bad day or including a bad week. In my case, I had a bad week. I was not focused on my studies or my work. The worst is I lost my DNI. I don't like the idea to not be diligence.
Today is an cloudy and rainy day, a perfect day to reflexion or to distend the mind. I don't want to be in a bad mood. Problems are terrible, but if I am thinking of them all the time it won't help to me.
Tomorrow is monday, so the best thing I can do is start the week with optimistic!

I have my hair cut
I had not thought to cut my hair, but I did it. I had a very long hair and it was very uncomfortable for me. I had to brush it every day and in the wet days it was impossible to manage it. For that reason I wanted to cut it.
But I did not expect to have my hair very short. Fortunately I like it ! It's a hairstyle very practical
The tedious thing is I have to update all my photos haha

A bad weekend.
This weekend have been the worst. There was many negative things that I had to bear. Normally I am a person enjoyable and full of optimism . But these two days I only was a irritating person. I only showed the bad part of me, and I know that it is not fair for people who don't have the blame.
Anyway, I hope things would better for me =)

Spending my saturday at the library.
Today is a beatiful day in Argentina after cloudy and rainy days it is common that people are happy and enjoy this sunny day. Maybe is not my case because I have to do a investigation work about work harassment for university, it's a bit interesting I must say.
But, due to a need for information I am obligated to go to the library. I didn't think I had to go there, but It will be a good oportunity to get air fresh, in despite I have to read a lot haha

Practicing English ... "at lunch" xD
Last days ago something interesting happened. I was at the faculty, having lunch. It is funny because sometimes tourist come to the faculty to see the building and the different pictures - I have to mention that the place where I study have like a little "museum" when you can see the many pictures or sculptures made from different of artists.
In brief, at the moment when I was having lunch a foreing person came to me and asked me "Donde está el museo?" into spanish, but how I realized she spoke into English, inevitably I answered ... but into English! xD ... Hardly ever I practice to talk in English but I guess it was in a good time xD Maybe that girl wanted to practice her spanish, I never will know haha

A stupid feeling
Today I only want to express my feelings... I mean, it is not something interesting to read but I think It is a good way to practice and why not, to write about a person who really I am in love with.
I never thought in my life I would come across with someone who wake the worst of myself... yes, that's what happens to me ... I am with a person who it is desesperate, jealous, possesive, insensitive sometimes...... I always argue pathetic and insignificant things... but ... for a reason, that person is the unique who really stay with me in the good and the bad thing ... And... in spite of my head gets crazy , that is only for that special person ... and this is a strange but wonderful feeling at the same time.
I don't know what happen to me, I am captivated in a way... I don't know what it will happen in a future, but nowadays I feel good.

Work & university: an stressful but magnificent combination
I am very exciting for my new work. It was a result of huge number of failed job searchs. But, in despite of that, I am very glad to work doing something associated with my studies. This will help me to be a good professional, who knows.
But the bad thing is the short time That I have to dedicate to my studies and the tiredness I feel lately ...
In short, all of this don't take away my vitality haha

Back to the studies -
I will miss the outdoors ... I mean, since I started my vacations I go out from my house and I visit many places. Specially I went ride on rollers almost all days. It was incredible! ... but the bad thing is that in a few days I will start a summer course of my faculty. It is a pity because I don't have much time to enjoy the rest of summer vacations, but for other hand ... I like the idea to make progress of my degree.
