Work in team is = MOCOMA

2007-05-20T23:16:00.000Z

Once I thought that I had overpass the work in teams but NO. Mocoma is especially work in teams. Sometimes it goes well and you discover nice people that you never meet before, as Pablo or Marta, other you confirm what you have tough about a concrete person.

For example I remember de Group dynamics. It was so fuc**** tiring, and unrealistic, but I the end I got fun. Marta you were the Idol of that assignment singing “by the rivers of Babilon” Estelle making the dance of Benny hill and me putting the ring tone of Benny Hill in my mobile phone without Stop. I still remember the white chocolate, and the paprika cheaps…. And also RUI when he told us “I was to lazy to look for that” Finally the job was well done.

Another assignment “incredible” was that of the PR cases and the MUD. Come on! a team with 8 people is never going to be serious, but at the end once again was Nice.

I’ll show you pictures, maybe in one of them is appearing Mr. I tink!

Our last pic of Europe

2007-05-20T21:08:00.001Z

…Sometimes a unique green line may mark the difference…. What happens when you’re abroad?
Your mobile phone changes, I mean, changes the name of the company, change the habitudes (e.g if you go to UK cars are driving on the left side) but sometimes what can change are lines of the Highways.

Last Satuday Nico, Victor and me went to the last continental point of Europe (Come on, I’m not Idiot I know that it is not the last part, but for me is the place most in the north I’ve ever been) The only thing I didn’t like was the cold wind in the beach…. To much for me and my fly.

(Yes I’m ill once again, each time that the rains appears in Gent)

Ahh tanks Victor for the Pipas and the explanation of the snake and the pharmacies. Nico thanks a lot for you “dedicated song” I here I’d like to congratulate you, for your progress in “Spanish Advanced Course of fans of Shakira”

Moulin Rouge

2007-05-20T20:44:00.000Z

In 2001 (quite a long time) I went with my best friend Mónica to the cinema to see “Moulin rouge” a movie with Nicole Kidman and Evan Mc. Gregor. It was a Friday night and I remember us watching the film as a video clip. The music, the colours, the scenes, the dialogues WoW…. I’ve ever seen something equal.

Nowadays in 2007 I’m thinking to see it once again, it also means something special… Ana and me were singing the Elephant Medley last Wednesday went we came out of the Pub La la la in Overpoort. A friend of Rui was playing there (Electro) and at the end I felt that I had enough, so I went out and I saw Ana (I always call her Mesqui) Steven (Ana’s roommate) and Nico, then Kasia joined us, and I don’t know why my Mesqui began to sing…. “And I... I drink all the time, we should be lowers, we can’t do that, we should be looooovers and that’s a fact” suddenly we were singing, or better said, shouting the music of that movie. It was so cool (now I have a strange sore throat since then)

Two days after (so last Friday) I spent all the afternoon in the Vooruit working in my fotolog (Laura you’re right it’s kind of weird to define that as work) what the fact is that we were there, and then Nico, Mireia and Victor Came. We were really tired so we picked up a pair of pizzas from Pizza Mario (ummmmmmmmmmm) and ate them at Laura’s Place (Out of topic: eiiii Laura when are you going to organize a party at you new place?) And Nico Shown us a nice version of the song Roxane.
Here it comes the link. Roxan’s Tango is also appearing in the movie Moulin Rouge….I my Good and Laura hadn’t seen it before. So…. Ok guys lets mark a date for our cinema evening.

Hip Hop moves me

Coca Cola Vice City Advertising

2007-04-16T17:02:00.000Z

This is the latest advertising of Coke in Sapain. After seeing that you can understand why you have been singing for ages the claim: "Always Coca-Cola"

No more coments.

TAPAS

2007-04-14T16:26:00.000Z

In Spain, appart from the bulls, flamenco singers and dancer, the sun, the paella and Almodóvar (Jejeje) we also have something very, very, very tipycal called TAPAS.

The official dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy of Languages says that a TAPA is a small portion of food served with a drink. However this is not completely true you can have a complete dinner eating only these small and delicious bits.
In the north of Spain they have even contests where the most famous cookers take part.

But just before the Easter holidays we celebrated a Spanish tapas night at my place, just to bring to my friends a piece of my culture. As Estelle says…. Yami!

We prepared:

1.- Prawn cocktail
2.- Garlic prawns
3.- Garlic mushrooms
4.- Tomato bread with Spanish ham
5.- Brave potatoes
6. Wine Chorizos (spicy dry pork sausage)

Of course, we took all this different food with bread and Wine.
I really invite you to taste it. The basic one as the brave potatoes is very simple to make and the result generally is fantastic.
For this reason, in the link below you can find some recipes of tapas that for sure are going to cause a sensation among your friends.

Hip Hop from the Bronx

2007-04-13T17:54:00.000Z

During few weeks I was attending to Dance classes, hip hop ones to be more concrete. But unfortunately the last time i went I was kindly invited to not to come back again in this timetable. They suggested us that maybe it was better to go to the beginner level on Mondays, but..... Oh porca miseria on Mondays I have lessons and it was to difficult to go.

So now, I need to see into another direction, proven that my short career into the dance is over. I've tried to run, but I find it boring, the bike..... ok I'm biking too much so the only option felt is swimming.

The only disadvantage of this sport is the fight against the old people that every time you must have to win your space into de pool to can swim. If we think it carefully for a while we can get easily the conclusion that they're not there to swim, but to open its social nets.

Now the video I took to Estelle in our last hip hop class.

Ahhh one more intersting data the man with the green cup is the teacher.

The country of tentations part 2

2007-03-15T23:00:00.000Z

Brugge, 13th March, 2007

It couldn't be in another way. The tentations of Belgium are wating for me round every single conrner, in each window, in each square.

Last Tusday Mocoma Students we went with other students of Artevelde to visit Brugge (Ohhhh What incredible city)

The question is that we were more than 40 of us (even with the sudden absence of our TurKish colleagues)and we couldn't manage to go together to the museums, so after the intial division in small groups to be able to answe such ridiculous questions as "How many steps has the Belfort Tower?" :-~ after taking hundred photos in the big fountain, after see the gate, afterwards, only then is when the big schism arrived. The organizator decided to put us in two different mixed groups to favorise the integration between local and foreign students. And curiously while all my closer friends were in the group visiting the beer museum, I was in the other group, that one visiting the Chocolat Museum..... Nyami!

When I heard the word Chocolate and my name in the sentence, I couldn't bealive my eyes... they have readen my mind. I don't regreat not have gone to the other place. For me a real chocolate egg which weighs more than 115 kilos is a serious thin to take into account.

Yasmis, Tomas and other guy where the organizators, altought sometimes I felt as I was 15 years going round the city asking for different places as we were in a holidays camp in Canada, I must recognise that they work hard. Maybe for the next time we also can do a normal visit, more appropiated to my age.

Belts, your choice

Hi bloggers,

After have taken some beers at Oveerpoortsatraat in Gent I’ve decided to revise my fotolog and my mail…. Why not it’s only three o’clock in the morning (nice time to work, everything is calm, even the pub round the corner, even my neighbours upstairs) and I’ve found out and old advertisement concerning to the use of seat bells. I enjoyed it a lot, so I wanted to share it with you.

Maybe I’ll install one in my yellow bike

My First Flu

2007-02-16T09:15:00.000Z

Hello People, maybe It can seems strange but after only two weeks living in this country I 've have my first Flu.

In Spain almost never rains and now I know the reason: All the water has fallen in GENT during this two weeks.

The rain has been my inseparable partner during this time, whenever I went, to the supermarket, to the bank, to the Uni, to Patty’s place, to My PLACE, she was with me.

I wonder how Belgium can manage this…. So if you can help me, maybe give some tips about this, you’ll be welcome. And if I get nice answers I promise you that I will create a “Pentalogue” for the perfect co-inhabitation Spanish-Rain, Rain-Spanish.

I’ll keep you informed
