Hoy te llamarán por tu nombre:.

Today I went with my family to the Teotihuacan exposition at the MNAH, and we really enjoyed it!!. We spent the afternoon at the zoo, and I have to admit that after an hour or so I was very tired. Four months ago I was able to walk all day, but I guess this is one of the consequences of my new way of living...I'll have to change some things:.

Before going back home we went to the Huellas de la Vida exposition. It's surprisingly good:.

Y vuelas libre a donde tu mente lo pide,
no más dolor de rodillas,
no tienes que disimular esta vez.

The ideal architect:.

The ideal architect should be a man of letters, a skillful draftsman, a mathematician, familiar with historical studies, a diligent student of philosophy, acquainted with music, not ignorant of medicine, learned in the responses of jurisconsults, familiar with astronomy and astronomical calculations.

Vitruvius, De Architectura (25 BC)

Y el mundo es un salón:.

Today I felt like going to the city center, maybe because it's been a while since I went there without having a reason to do so. First of all I went to the Museo Interactivo de Economía, and tasted a delicious coffee from Puebla, then I moved to the Museo de Betlemitas, one of the army's museums, and even though it's not a big building, there are some statues of pre-hispanic warriors totally worth seeing. My last cultural stop was at the Palacio de Iturbide, currently hosting part of the Banamex-collection, here the painting I liked the most was Vendedora de Alcatraces!!:.

Yo que era un solitario bailando
me quedé sin hablar
Mientras tú me fuiste demostrando
que el amor es bailar.

En danzas paganas:.

I'm about to finish the first volume of the Fun with Chinese Characters series. I truly recommend this book to anyone interested in the Chinese language in general!!:.

I hope I can finally go to the MNAH this weekend, there's an interesting exposition on Teotihuacan that I've been postponing to go for some time now. Considering I'm on a low budget I'll have to go on Sunday, free entrance!!:.

Dormido entre la hierba,
ya soñaba con tus manos
Cuando bailaba entre las tumbas,
sentia tu mirada

Desire is hunger:.

This week I finally got my Xbox back from the repair center, but the problem was that I also got a letter explaining me that they won't repair it because the damage is not covered by the warranty. It didn't took me by surprise, I had long lost hope on any Microsoft product, so I'll do what I first thought when it broke, sell it on ebay as a damaged product!!:.

Today I payed for my first semester at the master program, let us hope it's worth it!!:.

With love we sleep,
With doubt the vicious cycle turns,
And burns.

Das bin ich, das bin ich:.

Yesterday I watched HP's new movie and I really liked it!. I had my doubts about the dark nature of the movie, considering what other fans were saying, but then I realized that the way dark magic is combined with romance in the plot is at least interesting, it serves to keep the non-fans interested throughout the movie:..

Ich bin jetzt, ich bin hier, ich bin ich,
Das allein ist meine Schuld.

Porque yo vengo con apetito de obrero:.

Great weekend resting by the pool, just like an EJB!!. I had to drive half the way back to Mexico, quite an experience considering I had never driven in an important highway:.

Quick summary: I ate some delicious camaronillas, got hit by a mailbox, had wonderful pizzas for dinner, got addicted to Yoli, swam with my cellphone (ruining it), read HP1 and had breakfast like there was no tomorrow!!:.

This week I'll watch HP's new movie, there's a chance I'll go see it with a former friend, to be honest, it would be great to see her again:.

Yo no lucho por un terreno pavimentado
Ni por metros cuadrados, ni por un sueño dorado.

The good old days, the honest man:.

I love the daylight around 7-8 pm, you can actually sense the nature of the place where you are. For instance, Tlalpan has this particular shade of sepia, Barcelona had an amazing blue, and the place where I am right now, Acapulco, has a dark blue variant. This, at least for me, is like taking a quick view to the place's soul:.

The restless heart, the Promised Land
A subtle kiss that no one sees
A broken wrist and a big trapeze.

Para no cometer el mismo error:.

Tomorrow I'll go with my brother to Acapulco. It might not sound fair, but while he's doing some tests for his job, I'll be resting at the beach!!:..I'll catch up with him at night, we'll see what to do then:.

Today I saw an amazing report on the violence caused by the narcos here in Mexico. It's divided in two parts, with chilling names, Corrido para un degollado and Alfombra Roja para los muertos. You can watch it here: http://bit.ly/4ypHB9:.

Pero ya es muy tarde
El mal ya esta hecho.

Pero pase lo que pase:.

Today I saw two gore movies, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and its prequel, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. I found the prequel to be more interesting than the original, maybe because of the special effects, but neither of them is particularly good.

Talking about something else, I'll probably go on vacations to a mexican beach, though, truth be told, I'm not a beach-weather-fan, I prefer cold over hot:.

Damn Canadians, from now on you'll need a visa to go into their territory!!:.

Me callo porque es más cómodo engañarse
Me callo porque ha ganado la razón al corazón.

Y luego imaginé:.

Great weekend celebrating my sister's birthday and graduation!!:.


Ya ves, ni me quejo ni me quejaré
Mi ser, mis recuerdos y alguna canción
Son hoy mi premio de consolación.

Where a smile is not required:.

Today I updated to Ubuntu 9.04 and the system's overall performance is very good. I'm actually considering not replacing my machine this summer and stick with my loyal Thinkpad for another year and a half, there are just some minor fixes to be done:.

You might call it existential crisis
I simply call it the bravery
Of emptiness.

Something is about to give:.

I must admit that my progress with chinese characters has been rather slow these days, I'm around 122 right now. I know I can do better!!:.

I've taken the opportunity to go out with my little sister to show her around some historical sites of Texcoco. For instance, the other day we visited a nearby barrio, San Diego, where we bought some delicious ice creams for 2.50 pesos!. Yesterday we visited a historical city entrance, the Ahuehuete, and we even had the chance to see a train pass by, which was very good because she had never seen this happen in Texcoco:.

Did I waste it?
Not so much I couldn't taste it
Life should be fragrant
Rooftop to the basement.

A summer's disregard:.

Last Friday I was shocked by the news of my best teacher being sacked from school. Shame on you ITESM, he is more than a teacher. Because of him a lot of us feel this passion for software engineering, he made us think outside the box with the Head First approach and changed the way we saw this way of living, in a nutshell he is the reason why I think programming can be developed into more than craftmanship!!:.

For what it's worth, I've already complaint with the school's headmaster:.

And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change.

But everything looks perfect from far away:.

Today I saw two amazing movies, Cannibal Holocaust and Waltz with Bashir. I saw the latter months ago in Barcelona, but I didn't want to miss the chance to watch it here in Texcoco, with my parents and Nati. And for the former, I was attracted by the impaled-girl poster when I first saw it in my last roommate's movie collection. Both are excellent recommendations:.

108 characters!!:.

But it's thoughts like this that catch
my troubled head when you're away,
when I am missing you to death.
