home sweet home...

This is my new house (well since March 1st)... It is in Palermo.. A 2007, concrete building...



little courtyard down below...



the red thing is the elevator on my floor...



entrance to my wonderful apartment..=) a view from the front door... on the right side is a small room with a sliding door, on the left side guest bedroom... Right now, my temporary roommate,Tom stays there... for 1 month or so...


This is the small "office" on the left side in the hallway, before the kitchen and living room...


This is the view of the living room, the kitcken and stairs to my bedroom...

upstairs include my bedroom, a living area and a full bathroom.. it is almost like an other apartment there... Also, you can notice Unicow, far far away, sleeping on the bed... =)




And here is one of the best parts... BALCONY!

wow... I just watched Lost's last episode... and I want to say wow... I cant wait for next week, this was a good one...

So I got an interview from ETS , the English Language Institute here. It is Monday at 3pm... We will see how it goes I guess...

Dr. Schnur, the EliteHealth CEO(the website that I do freelance editing/writing for) is here today... Johnny, the boss, will take the team to dinner tonight... 

Addition to the TO-DO List:

- Buy Tango shoes (well make 350pesos extra just for that!) 

March 25

Second step is complete as well.. I have been to the gym everyday (both days I mean) since I became a member... Unfortunately to confirm that I need to get back in shape as soon as possible.. I was only able to run for 5min the first time and 10min the second(big improvement)

~I have been spending some time at Johnny's office lately. I am doing work for him... editing/proof reading the whole website. 

I might have an interview with an English Language School here for a teaching position next week. I will let you know when it is confirmed. I love teaching and a bit of extra money would be nice.

I am also looking at some other photography courses. However, they seem a bit out of budget for now... 

I have a new roommate. He, Tom, will be staying with me for 3.5 weeks.  He is a friend of Irina's... 42 years old, work from home (some sort of consulting for university exchange programs business) . He is very nice and it helps me with the rent... but I do not like living with people...(once more confirmed) and he talks abit too much for my taste...

..

I have a new gym!~ so first step towards accomplishing my to-do list is done...Yay...

Back to to-do lists

Someone once told me (could be a famous person) that a  messy room would lead to a messy life... I believe that there is some truth in this sentence... MaybE?

So, in the hopes of sorting out my life a bit, I cleaned my "office"...(a bit)

I used to make and remake lists of what I wanted to do in life...it never really got me anywhere, but it sure relaxed me to see them written down on paper. Oh and something else that relaxes me as I find out is washing dishes... Maybe it has to do with the sound of water?

Here is a current list...

What I want to do, learn, be....

-read more 

-dance more 

-write more (OR WRITE!!! seriously!! what is wrong with you)

-Learn photoshop well

-Create a photography portfolio

-Make some money (teaching, writing, bar...)

- travel to at least one more location before end of May

-find a more steady writing job in a magazine.. turkey, us, ba...?

-work out!!

-speak better spanish... 

In limbo

there is a lack of satisfaction of an accomplishment.. Everything feels incomplete... 

my screen keeps freezing and I push the restart key.. over and over... i lose my changes in the process and start over.. as you start over to the same thing, it wears you out.. I feel worn out.  

...

when does something new gets old? 

is something old ever exciting or desirable?

is something new ever comforting and genuine?

the moment right before something new becomes something old... is that moment ideal?

i want something in between... as exciting as new, as genuine as old...maybe not as shiny and desirable but comfortable and meaningful. 

all shoes are pretty when first bought... they hurt your feet a bit initially... soon you get more comfortable in them and wear them everywhere... as they get worn out you consider other shoes and soon they get replaced by new ones that will go through the same cycle...

there is a feeling.... the weight of a heavy coat 

couple words...

i feel like i haven't dropped words on a paper for longer than ever. It bugs me but i still believe everything happens for a reason... the words are in me somewhere waiting to come out at the perfect time..-or maybe the most appropriate time-

i have been preoccupied with my lovely visitors... and maybe was focused more on having good time, seizing the day -hence partying and not thinking- for a while... and it was great. slowly, with the same questions coming from right and left; i am getting into the future-worry again... cities to live in, jobs to do, people to have around... life of a city-hopper is not as easy as it sounds. especially when money is an issue. and especially when your heart is distributed in pieces to three different continents.

Trip to Mendoza

a fun 3day trip:

Lots of wine, a tent without comfortable mattress, bicyle winery tour, winning at Bingo in the first class bus, camping site, asado, election of the wine queen, absinth....
