Don’t waste your free time in bed or traffic

I´d like to tell you that a modern museum’s concept has been being developed inside our crowded city since few years ago; surrounded by nature and fresh air from Chapultepec’s wood, it takes place in the side block of Reforma avenue and shows a lot of pictures in a thematic order on each time. I have had the opportunity to go by two or three times and I really like it. I recommend you to do so, because in this month is held the exposition “La ciudad del cine” which is including among 130 and  150 pictures about mexican famous films and it is part of the 5th edition of the International Contemporary Film Festival, which is going to be held from February 19th to march 2nd 2008 here in Mexico City.

Harry Potter, good for ones bad for others….. What about you???

Since our common point of view, all the latest stories evolving magic and wizards are performed to the purpose of  entertainment only, however for some people who is involved in certain social circles or religious commitments these are not in the same way.

Today I’m going to talk about the Harry Potter series, which are the stories about a young, neglected orphan who discovers he has magical powers and is invited to attend a magical school. There, Harry makes friends and tries to stop the return of the evil wizard Voldemort, who took his parents’ lives.

According to critics made to this great “Best seller” in order to rfuse the subject of witchcraft and consider it an insult to religion, they claim that fearing it might undermine traditional spiritual values, although Harry defends good against evil at personal risk and upholds values like honesty, loyalty to those we love, and courage in the face of danger.

Well, in fact, those stories are part of the banned set of books for some school libraries…….. 

What do you think about it?

Are You Happy?

There are few definitions about the question you could be asked about suddenly by a friend or some people in the street, so pay attention to them and conclude whether or not you agree with this part of the history.

For ancient greece people, happiness was one of the favorite topics of philosophy. for Aristotle, it was the supreme human motivation and consisted of constantly practicing the principal virtues whereas the philosophers known, as a Cynics believe that happiness was attained by discarding material possessions. One of the most exponents of this theory was Diogenes, who lived in a barrel whit no other earthly belongings than a cape. Another greek thinker, Epicurus, claimed that the ultimate gold in life was to obtain as much pleasure as possible and avoid pain. On the other hand, the Stoics saw happiness as accepting destiniy, eliminating passions and achieving peace of mind. Taoists believed that being respectful of nature’s laws, humans would enjoy good luck, acting spontaneously and trusting their own intuition.

I think that there are no miraculos formula for getting happiness, since, rather than end goal, it is a path filled with adventure, involving and ongoing search that inside ourselves. So, be happy and tray to smile all the time…….

New eye to the space

Seeing the origin of the universe will actually be possible with the Great Millimetric Telescope.

I´m pleased to talk about the latest mexican successful in science, which is called “Millimetric Telescope”. This project is currently  being developed in a place known “La Negra Volcano”, which is located in Puebla State, very close to Veracruz, and the equipment for it has been set up at an altitude of 4,600 meters. It has been developed by the CONACyT (National Board of Science and Technology), National Institute of Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics and the University of Massachusetts, which are spliting expenses and responsibilities fifty – fifty.

The idea came up 15 years ago, and it was based on a needy for a new window through to  which to study the universe, the developing teem have been working on it for 8 years. By enabling scientists to see greater distances, GMT will also, allow people to see back in time, into the distance past. The furthest back we migth see is the origin, which, according to scientific community, dates about 12 to 15 billion years ago, when the “Big Ban” ocurred and everything began to take place and shape.

As a conclusion, let me tell you that some scientists have even gone as far as to say that the GMT (Great Millimetric Telescope) project is likely the man’s landing on the moon or the launching of the Hubble Telescope, because it will herald a new era in scientific learning. The millimetric accuracy of the telescope picks up wave lengths of between one and three millimeters, and it makes the exploration possible.

 I think, without a doubt, we have to be praud of Mexico for this reason at these moments !!!!

Resting in a good place

After a hard working week, finallyI’m in Queretaro city, enjoying some free time with my family and some friends, yea!!!! I have been very busy in my office, may be, at a certain time I believed that this weekend was not coming as soon as I wanted…….

At this moment I am with my daughter and my wife in my sister’s bussines, she and her couple recently opened a galery in this city, they sell a lot of things from all over the world, also they ofer some kind of  music, performed by some specialized musicians like Putumayo and others. They also ofer many egipcian handicrafts, lamps, puzzles, etc.

I hope you are enjoying your weekend to.

Absurd reality

Hi to all !!!!!

I’m here in my office with a lot of work waiting for me, ha ha ha……. It seems to be laughing of me, because I’am every day working very hard and, at the same time, I’m recibing more commitments(?) from my new boss.

Yeah !!!!! I said it is absurd, because having all the people who work in this corporation, complain about the hard schedule we used to have in past, our CEFO (Chief executive finantial officer) released a new plan in 2006, that allows us to choose our personal schedule, and my director has taken it in account and he demand from us extrictly respect to this plan, it means we have to arrive exactly on time and leve home in the same way. To compliance this commitment he designed one of us as supervisor, who is in charge to review all the stories of the office, in order to find out someone working after hours and reporting one to the director. So I have to hide myself in the parking lot meanwhile the process is going on and then, come back to my desk and continue working, even it is aggainst our own demands.

Cool place to share experiences

Hello to all!!!!!

This is my first time in this kind of web pages, in past I used to chat in some sites, all of them were in real time and there were interaction with many people at the same time, but I’ve never thought it could exist. Also I think it seems to be more secure, because the last time I was in a chat room, I got married……….

I like this, and I think is cool due to we can keep in contact after class, tough, It could be possible in weekends too. Yes!!! I can talk about some of my trips and you can give me some advise about the places you know, and eventually you can ask me for something you want to get from these places…..Well, actually I almost always go to Queretaro City, which is my second home, however, some times I visit some other placer of the central region of Mexico.
