Paris!
As you read in my last post I went for the weekend to Paris...It was great, I had so much fun and a saw the city on a completely different way. I went on a more relax and enjoying mood.
Anyway I am now very tired after all the walking and sleeping late... now is again back to normal life here in Belgium

Exams are over...
After almost month month of getting ready for the exams, I finally finish my exams... obviously I was not stuying for a whole month, but I started reading stuff almost one month ago, it is very hard to mix a full time job with a masters program.Anyway the exams are over now and I just need to wait for the results.... I am used to not have such high expectations for the results, because the more high expectations the harder it is if you do not have good grades, so my theory is to expect for the worst and hope for the best...Labels: Life update, Random thoughts
Is it not cool?

9 to 5
I have been in my first real job for almost 4 months now and I am starting to get in the 9 to 5 mood, I do not know if it good to start getting that type of mentality or not....
I do not want to be like the other colleges... I want to be a proactive person that has ownership of their work and is making a real change in the world...
I just remember my old times working for AIESEC in Belgium, when it was normal to work all night or to work in the weekends... I was doing all that not only because of the job, I was doing it because I knew my job was changing people lives and I was making this world a better place.
I just hope I can get that feeling again...
BTW the picture on this post was taken Friday at 6 pm in my office...

I know I have said this to many times... weekends should be a relaxing time but not for me...

Instantes
I just got this poem in a mail, it is very nice and it is a nice way to think and start the yearInstantes (Instants)
If I were able to live my life anew, In the next I would try to commit more errors.I would not try to be so perfect, I would relax more.I would be more foolish than I've been, In fact, I would take few things seriously.I would be less hygienic.I would run more risks, take more vacations,contemplate more sunsets, climb more mountains, swim more rivers.I would go to more places where I've never been, I would eat more ice cream and fewer beans, I would have more real problems and less imaginary ones.I was one of those people that lived sensiblyand prolifically each minute of his life; Of course I had moments of happiness.If I could go back I would tryto have only good moments.Because if you didn't know, of that is life made: only of moments; Don't lose the now.I was one of those that never went anywhere without a thermometer, a hot-water bottle, an umbrella, and a parachute; If I could live again, I would travel lighter.If I could live again, I would begin to walk barefoot from the beginning of springand I would continue barefoot until autumn ends.I would take more cart rides, contemplate more dawns, and play with more children, If I had another life ahead of me.But already you see, I am 85, and I know that I am dying.(Translated from Spanish) Jorge Luis BorgesLabels: Random thoughts
Whats up?
Life is getting back to normal at work and most of my collegues are back in the office, so work is again starting to get interesting :)
Also I had a great weekend, I went Ice Skating, I do not remember the last time I went skating but it was long time ago... also it was nice to see a lot of old friends and had the opportunity to catch up with them. This picture is me ice skating :)
The bad thing of the weekend is that internet is not working in my house anymore :( , but I hope the problem will be solved soon, I wanted to put some pictures and some comments in my blog but since there is no internet there is no blog.
