Some thoughts

The last weeks I have been living in the eternal happy, hot and friendly Barranquilla. This amazing and extraordinary town was the place where I studied my university and started my working life. Now I'm back here trying to rebuild this working life. The problem is that all the positions and jobs here looks to be occupied. Sadly but as a reality of most of our coast cities the occupation of our citizens is low and the majority of the person who are working got their job due to recommendations or family ties.

This is the reason why I decided to start looking for opportunities abroad. Again I'm shaking my contacts and using my AIESEC experience to find a good and decent job position in some country. The opportunities are out there just waiting to be found and this is my commitment now. Let see what is gonna happen.

What about the rest of thing for me? My dad was celebrating his birthday yesterday. Another year I'm thankful to have him with us. I'll stay alone in the apartment I'm living now (Puppy's home) because Doña Vilma is heading to Medellin for vacations and visit her sons and daughter. What am I gonna do with an empty flat? No clue.

Yesterday we also had the spectacular defeat of our national soccer team against Paraguay selection. 5-0 the final score (Paraguay won). It is not a good beginning for a new generation of players and a whole country looking for good news that make us think about different things (yesterday 11 kidnapped regional deputies were killed by the FARC left-wing guerrilla). As many people recognize it, in Colombia we have two passions: beauty contests and football. And if those two passions don't give us joy we are really screw.

On the other side, news from my hometown doesn't sound anything good. The Sinu River flooded some part of my department including some areas of Monteria, Cerete, San Pelayo and other smallest towns. Is the worst flood in Córdoba in ten years. And we never learn of our past. We are always running to patch the river instead of implement long-term solutions to maintain the river in its riverbed. Here is when the corruption of our political leaders comes to the surface. And we are still waiting for the decision of two arrested thieves about who is gonna be the next governor and major. Sad.
