Canción del Amor Sincero

Prometo no amarte eternamente,

ni serte fiel hasta la muerte,

ni caminar tomados de la mano,

ni colmarte de rosas,

ni besarte apasionadamente siempre.



Juro que habrá tristezas,

habrá problemas y discusiones

y miraré a otras mujeres

vos mirarás a otros hombres



Juro que no eres mi todo

ni mi cielo, ni mi única razón de vivir,

aunque te extraño a veces.



Prometo no desearte siempre

a veces me cansaré de tu sexo

vos te cansarás del mío

y tu cabello en algunas ocasiones

se hará fastidioso en mi cara



Juro que habrá momentos

en que sentiremos un odio mutuo,

desearemos terminar todo y

quizás lo terminaremos,

mas te digo que nos amaremos

construiremos, compartiremos.



¿Ahora si podrás creerme que te amo?

Another birthday

Yes it is another birthday in my life and as many of them before far from my family.

But the important thing is that birthdays is an opportunity we have to sit and think about what we did during the last year and evaluate all our results and the objectives we didn´t reach.

Unfortunately, this will be a sad birthday for me and not because i´m away from home (I can live with that) but for all the things that happened and specially the ones that didn´t to me during last year.

But life continues and we need to live with it. It is up to us to make it better all days because life just happen once and we need to use it as better as we can.

Happy Birthday To me!

Annoying Things To Do On An Elevator

If you do any of these things,let me know how it turns out!

1. CRACK open your briefcase or handbag, peer Inside and ask “Got enough air in there?”
2. STAND silent and motionless in the corner facing the wall without getting off.
3. WHEN arriving at your floor, grunt and strain to yank the doors open, then act as if you're embarrassed when they open themselves.
4. GREET everyone with a warm handshake and ask him or her to call you Admiral.
5. MEOW occasionally.
6. STARE At another passenger for a while. Then announce in horror: “You're one of THEM” - and back away slowly
7. SAY -DING at each floor.
8. SAY “I wonder what all these do?” And push all the red buttons.
9. MAKE explosion noises when anyone presses a button.
10. STARE, grinning at another passenger for a while, then announce: “I have new socks on.”
11. WHEN the elevator is silent, look around and ask: “Is that your beeper?”
12. TRY to make personal calls on the emergency phone.
13. DRAW a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers: “This is my personal space.”
14. WHEN there's only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder, then pretend it wasn't you.
15. PUSH the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more.
16. ASK if you can push the button for other people but push the wrong ones.
17. HOLD the doors open and say you're waiting for your friend. After a while, let the doors close and say “Hi Greg, How's your day been?”
18. DROP a pen and wail until someone reaches to help pick it up, then scream: “That's mine!”
19. BRING a camera and take pictures of everyone in the lift.
20. PRETEND you're a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exits with the Passengers.
21) SWAT at flies that don't exist.
22) CALL out “Group hug” then enforce it.

The Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction
This is the law by which we're creating our lives. The Law of Attraction states that like attracts like: debt attracts debt, negativity attracts negativity, failure attracts failure. At the other end of the spectrum, wealth attracts wealth, positivity attracts positivity, and success attracts success.


We transmit energy constantly; others pick up on that energy and gravitate towards us (or are repelled by us). The Secret is the most recent incarnation of the Law of Attraction, which states that like attracts like. It's as simple as that.

You're a positive person when you:

1. Stay in touch with your dark side and weaknesses, and are willing to grow towards healing and strength
2. See the positive qualities in other people
3. Feel compassion towards yourself and the world (we're all doing the best we can!)
4. Listen to – and try to understand – other perspectives, regardless of how different
5. Give the benefit of the doubt
6. Express your true self in thoughts and actions, gently and honestly (and free others to do the same!)
7. Share your negative thoughts and emotions
8. Celebrate the success and happiness of other people
9. Feel fear and defeat, and keep persevering anyway
10. Follow your dreams and desires

You're not positive when you:

1. Ignore your dark side and weaknesses (and then act them out)
2. Focus on other people's mistakes and weaknesses
3. Obsess about being perfect; whether it's at work, at home, or with your appearance (or other people's!)
4. Try to change other people's perspectives and opinions
5. Try to please people constantly and ignore your own needs
6. Let other people's moods and energy dictate your own
7. Swallow your negative thoughts and emotions
8. Resent the successes and joys of others
9. Allow fear and cynicism to harden your heart and color your perspective
10. Ignore your goals, plans, and passions

Perfection and popularity

Positive people are determined to do their best, and to see the best in the world around them. They don’t focus on “should have” or idealized, perfect expectations that are impossible to live up to. They have an open heart and a sense of humor. They don't care about being popular or keeping up with the Jones's – and they stay in touch with their hearts and souls.

Failures and disagreements

Positive people make mistakes and own up to them. They keep lines of communication open, opting for discussion and connection – and they're satisfied with “agreeing to disagree.” Neither failures nor disagreements faze them, because they know they're part of living and working with humans!

Glocalization

Namaste!

Yesterday I watched an interesting Discovery Channel special called Globalization. It was an amazing TV show explaining how the Globalization phenomenon is affecting young people of Bangalore and India in general.

Thomas Friedman, three times Pulitzer Award winner and well-known as the author of "The World is Flat" explained how the explosion of wealth in some Indian cities (like Bangalore) is erasing hundred of years of culture and tradition of one of the most populated countries in the world. I must admit I was surprised. I had heard about how you can go back in time just walking a few meters in main Indian cities but it was shocking actually see it (at least on television). Big and state-of-the-art buildings surrounded by poor (very poor) neighborhoods, young people Americanized, extreme capitalism, ancestral traditions lost among others problems were shown in this special.

But something that really inspired me was a concept this author introduced during the show: Glocalization. This term is a portmanteau of globalization and localization trying to explain the way in which ideas and structures that circulate globally are adapted and changed by local realities. We can not fight against Globalization, this is a reality we are living and we must accept it, but we can do is try to press multinational corporations that are running and international business in our communities to tailor its outputs and organization to our own local taste. Corporate responsibilities are more important than ever before. Companies must admit the way they are affecting its environments (social, economic, natural, etc.) and seek for options to minimize this impact.

To all my Indian friends, I really loved this show and for sure someday and somehow I will visit your country. I just hope to do it before your culture basis have been truly affected or forgotten.
