Back


I'm back in Portland, after visiting my family and friends for almost 1 month in Medellin. I'm back in my reality and my life, and it feels really good to enjoy being back.

Before my trip to Medellin I was really anxious, thinking about how it will feel be around my friends and family again, if the time has changed us, change me in a way the I will no feel comfortable around them, or maybe I will feel so comfortable the I will like to stay and don't come back to Portland.

It is good to be back. I was missing my space and the bit of my life in Portland, and of course, I was missing my husband. It was good to be back in Colombia too, see my friends, feel their energy, the familiarity of the jokes and the memories: It was also good to see my dad, hug my mom, spend some time with them. See Santy as a cooker and saw Harry Potter with Tin, our type of movie :).

But is good to be back in my routine, my house, my bike, even when it is cold, and waiting for the best.

Taza o pocillo

El pocillo o taza es de cerámica pesada, de esas que se hacen con la arcilla se quema por horas o hasta días. Usando el método de medición imperial, ósea el gringo pues ellos se rehusan a el sistema métrico como el resto del mundo, mide un poco más de 3 pulgadas de alto. Mis pulgas por supuesto. Y como no tengo un metro o regla a la mano, diré que es igual de grande que la palma de mi mano, aunque eso y lo de las pulgadas no dice mucho, pues ustedes no saben cuanto mide mi mano. y para que se hagan una idea, es solo un poco más alto que la mitad de un teléfono celular. En fin, conocer su altura al dedillo no es tan importante.    Tiene forma de cilindro con base redonda un poco más pequeña que el resto. El grosor de la misma es al contra un poco más grueso que los laterales. Me imagino que los diseñaron así para evitar que calentar mucho más de lo necesario las superficies donde se posa. Su base es lisa, plana, y se diferencia del resto al tener una textura como porosa y ser d...

The outdoor magic

I love my beautiful Colombia. I'm 100% proud of said: I'm Colombian and that Colombia is a great country, with lots of faces, both good and bad. All the goods and bads make the country a special place, a place really enjoyable for live, love and play, so don't get me wrong with this but: Live in USA rocks! Yes, I said it: Life in USA Rocks! but not for any of the reasons that a lot of people have the "American Dream", in fact often I realize that life here can be even harder than in Colombia, a "3rd wold country". I'm not saying the USA rocks because of the malls, the clean streets, the feeling of safety, or the Calvin Klein outlets. I'm saying it rocks for how easy it is camping and scape to nature; how easy it is enjoying the outdoor magic! I was a boys scout ( in Colombia it is unisex), so I can say the I knew what camping was, and thanks to my family, I was able to enjoy the countryside often, I even have a funny story about the last ti...

A smoking job!

In 2005 I was hired as a Team Marketing Developer intern for British American Tobacco Colombia. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this company, BAT is the tobacco company of Lucky Strike and Kool, among other brands. For me, as a recent Marketing and Advertising graduate, it was a lifetime opportunity. Finally, after many jobs on restaurants and sales, I had an open door to a multinational corporation that invests millions of pesos (well dollars really) in marketing and advertising worldwide. My job was "simple": I and two others interns (Andres and Mauricio) will be in charge of expanding the product placement and brand visibility, while helping sales rep to increase sales, in specific city areas. The job was lost in PR and cross-sales with bars and restaurant owners. In other words something like "If you buy our products from our sales rep, that new cooler you need it will be on us (with our brand everywhere, though), you win, we win, everyone wins!"....
