My dear friend Bahanur has had the wonderful idea of creating a new project called "Kindred Spirits Café" for her penpals in her facebook group, a place where we all can gather together if we wish and talk on different interesting topics through the week, thus exchanging our honest thoughts and opinions on such issues and in this way getting to know each other in different and deeper levels. Like this, we can learn more on each other and who knows, maybe finding new kindred souls!!! It is just t

I can't believe I have reached the 50 random facts finally with this new post!!! This needs to be celebrated after you read them and laugh at some of the funny facts that keep on coming to my mind in a surprising way. It is interesting how such little facts can give a bit of shape to an individual and how all them influenced me in one way or another :))). This is definitely why I think that experiences and perceptions should be always shared!!! Enjoy them and if Elena seems at this moment alread

10 years ago, while I was taking a look at some penpal ads in a penpals page in the Internet that I had never visited before, I had the incredible good luck of paying attention to a quite interesting and beautifully written ad of an Italian girl who was searching for penpals in Eastern Europe and the Balkans at that moment but whose description of herself and her writing style enchanted me so much that I just had to make the strange exception of trying and see if I could convince her of maybe ta

This current week has been a hell of a one, specially at work with the beginning of the month and the monthly reports that I have had to do completely on my own this time...I still have one pending, but this is a record and I will give them before expected this time!!! :)))) Besides this, I have also been quite busy with other personal things, have also started to read unit 1 of my Literature subject, something I am simply enjoying, and I am not feeling very well physically speaking, but today i

Today I have been attending a presentation on the Maquis, the Spanish Anti-Francoist's dictatorship guerrillas resistance that were in active when the Spanish Civil War was about to finish (1939) and lasted till 1965. More than telling you on this resistance and the fact they also contributed to help France against the Nazi Germany and the Vichy Regime (something that will hardly appear in any History school book, and much less in France), I really wanted to talk on the treatment of History in o

“And as I sat there brooding on the old, unknown world, I thought of Gatsby’s wonder when he first picked out the green light at the end of Daisy’s dock. He had come a long way to this blue lawn, and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him, somewhere back in that vast obscurity beyond the city, where the dark fields of the republic rolled on under the night. Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future

As I already could foresee in my previous post, I had the feeling I wouldn't be able to write so many entries here as wished this month and now that we are almost in mid October I can say my prediction was quite accurate. Days are passing by too fast and between work and studies, when I realize it is 23:00 and I still have not had my dinner!!! I try to be around facebook as well just to see how my dearest friends abroad are doing and try to be updated in the Kindred Spirits Cafe event, but I hav

The unbearable lightness of loneliness.... I have been feeling quite lonely lately. And loneliness comes mainly from lack of deep communication with my close environment which provides me with a special type of emptiness and "numbness" that is traduced into something equivalent to alienation. I hate when I feel like this, cause such a feeling only produces me an extreme type of passivity that prevents me from communicating with the ones with whom I could really have deep and transparent commun

Many many years ago, while I was trying to search for new penpals I used lots of my time investigating different web sites that could grant me some reliable and wonderful new penpals worldwide and back in year 2001 you could find already many different penpals sites that were populated with many people really searching for penpals and international friends. I used several of them in the search of true friends with whom I could have deep and satisfying communication, but several of them didn't pr

I never could imagine how it would be to live without you, and I couldn't foresee I should have to learn to live without your love, protection and company so soon in life. You left us all too early. Indeed, being egoistic, I would have loved to have you beside me till my own end. But this is how things work, this is part of the cycle of life and nature, and that is why it is better to enjoy each single moment together with a person before it is too late. We all live life as if we were immortals

Que sí, que está muy bien. Que Internet ha crecido en tamaño y en capacidad de influencia. Que en setenta y dos horas, una ministra de cultura, una vicepresidenta, un ministro de justicia y un presidente se habían visto forzados a reaccionar debido a la presión ciudadana expresada en la red. Que sí. Lo que queráis. Pero estamos a martes, es festivo, mañana nos vamos todos a trabajar – los que tengamos la suerte de tener un trabajo -, y las cosas siguen EXACTAMENTE IGUAL: la ley sigue donde es...
