Some say we walk alone:.

I wish The Dark Lord would have won!, there, I just said it!. He was the best of his kind, master of all worth mastering, he even reinvented his soul, his very nature!. His actions were portrayed as evil, but that's only because they were told by someone who couldn't understand them.

Let's get another thing straight, he was not defeated by some prophecy-powerless-unskillful boy, how could it be, it's not as if faith or prophecies have anything to do with what we can or cannot do, just our actions!. No, he was finally defeated by another great mind, the only one who could ever had the chance to be his equal, Dumbledore. The elegance and simplicity of his plan, well, breathtaking!. A true master of his craft, the way he acted and made others act, the way he made them think they were acting on free will.

In a sense, he was just like The Dark Lord, they knew there wasn't such thing as good or evil, in the end all that really matters is what you want!. Unlike everybody else, they didn't need justifications, no one to tell them what to do or think next, they just accepted the greatest truth of all: I'm free to do whatever the hell I want to do!.

=):.

So say I walk alone,
barefoot on wicked stone tonight,
will you leap to follow?
will you turn and go?.

Face to face:.

...es interesante ver cómo hemos cambiado. Esos rasgos de analizar y calcular, puede que fríamente, comparado con la inocencia o inmadurez de hace muchos años. No sé, interesante cómo nos vamos adaptando y las formas que encontramos para hacerlo.

Gracias por todo y de verdad espero que cumplas tu sueño de vivir, amar y disfrutar en Canadá =):.

Wherever you go,
wherever you land,
I’ll say what this means to me,
I’ll do what I can.

El tiempo a mí me puso en otro lado:.

Normalement je parle de mon présent et l'avenir, mais ce soir c'est une bonne occasion pour parler de mon passé. Comme certaines personnes le savent, bolitapop était le nom que j'ai utilisé pour longtemps. Pendant cette étape de ma vie, j'ai appris beaucoup de choses, visitait endroits magnifiques et aussi rencontrai des gens très intéressant. Une de ces personnes a été Sherinny.

Je l'ai rencontré dans l'université, et progressivement nous sommes devenus plus que des amis. Après l'université, c'était évident que nous voulions des choses différentes et chacun a pris un chemin différent. Bien que je ne le regrette pas, peut-être que la façon dont j'ai fait ça n'était pas la meilleur.

Le plus important est que merci à cette expérience, j'ai encore une passion pour le cinéma, l'Europe centrale et le Nestea de pêche. Il y a aussi des héritages négatifs, comme ma fascination avec des zombies et des films d'horreur, mais c'est un sujet pour un autre jour.

Je parle maintenant de cette question parce que j'ai déjà lu une entrée similaire dans son blog. Après tout, peut-être qu'un jour nous puissions parler face à face et sourire à nouveau =):.

El cine, las traiciones, los enigmas,
mi padre, la cerveza, las pastillas,
los misterios, el whisky malo,
los óleos, el amor, los escenarios,
el hambre, el frío, el crimen, el dinero y mis 10 tías,
me hicieron este hombre enreverado.

While my blood's still flowing:.

Ok, today I want to ramble about the subject that has been on my mind for the last months: the French language.

Before I started studying it, like many people, I had a biased opinion towards the language. I thought it would be very difficult to use, due to its guttural nature, it's writing also seemed daunting, and most of all, the speed at which french people seem to speak is shocking. But as many things in life, if you try to understand something from its very basics, you eventually realize it all makes sense.

I've been studying with an approach that doesn't rely on teaching you grammar rules, instead, you infer them from small conversations and guided exercises. It's all based on the way children learn, and it's great. It's no secret that in order for this, or any other, approach to be effective, you really need to put effort and time. But unlike children, we also have another tool at our disposal: abstraction!.

From the very beginning, you start recognizing similarities with other romance languages. I had previously studied Spanish, English and Catalan, so many things in French already seemed familiar. As you progress, you also recognize patterns in the way things are pronounced and written, and you understand it's not as chaotic as you thought it would be. You start using it and you like the way you sound, obviously not like a french native, but strange and interesting =).

So far my strategy has been focused on learning enough grammar and vocabulary by my self, but now I'll pass to the next level, practice the language and challenge myself with other people. I know this is the only way to master anything in life.

In brief, after 5-6 months of studying French, I can tell you it's a great language, daunting at first, but always interesting. I never thought I would stop almost all of my activities just to learn a new language, but I don't regret it =):.

My regrets are few,
if my life is mine,
what shouldn't I do?

Pick me up and turn me round:.

Last week I received excellent news, the opportunity of studying a PhD abroad is getting closer =).

To be honest, I have mixed feelings. First, I'm not yet fluent in the French language, and that could be a serious problem. Then, there's the thesis' topic, cloud computing. It's not my area of expertise, but I have to admit it's one of the most relevant topics nowadays, so chances are there are a lot of areas of improvement there, which ultimately means I'll have the opportunity to deal with many interesting things.

That's my real motivation, I just like to deal with interesting things =). I'll need time to catch up, but I'll have enough time and proper guidance, let us hope I'm up for the challenge!!

I love the passing of time,
never for money,
always for love.

That's what she said:.

Today two things will mark the end of an era. First, I'll attend to the graduation ceremony for my Master's degree, and second, the 7th season of 'The Office' will come to an end. I know that the second event might sound trivial, but I've been a huge fan of that show since I first watched it in 2007.

In the beginning, I liked 'The Office' because it really portrayed the boredom and awkwardness that you find in any traditional company. People are usually unhappy, they just go to work, expect to do the less amount of work they can, and then go back home and start all over again. The problem is they get used to it, and then one day they realize they're 40, they wasted their lives and there's no way they can change now...

With time, the show lost some of its original scent, and some even say it should've ended a long time ago. This is why this particular season finale is so important, it's the goodbye of 'Michael Scott', main character and world's best boss =). The show might not live long without him, but let's not worry about that now, let's just remember some his best moments. 

Good luck Michael!!

Non, rien de rien:.

Cela fait trois ans que j'ai décidé d'écrire toujours en anglais, mais maintenant je dois changer de langue parce que je veux étudier en France et j'ai besoin de pratiquer le français. Bien que mon niveau n'est pas bon, je pense que je peux améliorer avec assez de pratique.

C'est intéressant que les raisons pour changer de langue sont très similaires. Il y a trois ans, j'ai cherchais une occasion pour étudier une maîtrise, et maintenant que je l'ai fini, j'ai des plans pour un doctorat. L'éducation est encore important dans ma vie =):.

Non, je ne regrette rien,
Ni le bien qu'on m'a fait, ni le mal
Tout ça m'est bien égal.
