The Value of Normal
People tend to underestimate the value of normal until their situation is no longer normal. Then they start longing for normality. I haven’t written anything lately. Not for this blog or even for my personal purposes. The last few months have simply been crazy, hectic, confusing, exciting, full of difficult moments and of instants of […]
More About Online Shopping
You know you’ve been shopping too much online when the delivery guys from DHL and FedEx know your name, and when you know theirs. I realized that today, after I greeted Mario from DHL when he gave me a couple of packages. His comment was “I’m sorry I called you on your phone before getting […]
Football Vs. Dota
I used to get very excited thinking of the World Cup of Football. I’ve been working from a home office for over 12 years now, and I’ve always seen that as an amazing advantage for me, because while other people have to ask for permission to watch a match at work, I just need to […]
Alive
Sometimes we do many different things just because we like them, and ultimately because we like to feel alive. Gosh, there’s a lot more behind that sentence than it seems – much more philosophy at least – but perhaps that’s material for a future post. Anyway, I spend so much time in so many different […]
Lonely Worker
I have my own Company and I run it mainly from my home office, usually alone. I cannot get up and go to the other room for some interaction. The closest I get to that is changing Windows in my computer to talk to my colleagues via WhatsApp, Skype or e-mail. I virtually interact with […]

Online shopping
Boy, have our shopping practices changed in the last decade. Obviously not only that, but also the way we communicate and are entertained, but that’s material for a different entry. This time around I will focus exclusively in the shopping phenomenon. A couple of weeks ago, when I was immobilized in my bed, doing virtually […]
Gardening
I miss having a patch of dirt to dig and call ‘a garden’. My sister could very well hit me for saying this, since I was the horrible, terrible person who proposed covering the patch of dirt in the back patio of her house – where I currently live – but back then it seemed […]
Dota
I must admit the last few times I had the time and the clarity to write anything about Dota was because my favorite team had been defeated or eliminated from a tournament, and guess what? Team Secret was eliminated from DAC not 12 hours ago, so I better use my fix of inspiration triggered by […]
Updating my digital home
There is a proverb in my mother tongue that very frequently leaves me wondering if I am using my time in an effective manner or not. The proverb is “El que mucho abarca poco aprieta” and it basically means that the person who tries to do too many things at once will very often be […]
