My brother's visit :)

Hola!!!
Empiezo en castellano a pedido de Frank... Ahora el problema es que siempre hay diferencia (sutiles) entre lo que escribo en castellano y lo que escribo en Inglés, asi que el juego es tambien encontrar esas diferencias :)

Ok, yendo al tema de hoy. Mi hermano estuvo de visita en Febrero, estuvo una semana en Buenos Aires aunque apenas si nos vimos. Cuando el se acostaba yo me levantaba a trabajar. O incluso los fines de semana ya no me da por salir a trasnochar, prefiero ver una peli o salir a cenar. Como sea, aca algunas fotos de su visita. Las primeras dos fueron sacadas en el Café Tortoni.

Andrés tomando una clásica Quilmes y yo mi clásico te de tilo :P

So Frank :) I'm starting in spanish as you requested, although I don't think I can make a post everyday... My life is not that eventful. Anyways, usually there are some differences between the English and Spanish version, there are not major and the main idea is there... Try to find them!!!!

Anyways, back to the entry subject. My brother visited Argentina in February. He stayed almost a week at my place although we barely saw each other :P I would wake up to work when he was arriving from partying. Truth is that I'm not longer used to stay up at night... I prefer to go for movies or have dinner, but I'm not longer a bar fan, or maybe I haven't found the one I like here... who knows?

The first two pictures were taken at the Café Tortoni. Andrés is having a Quilmes (the national beer you could say, although is own by brazilians now and actually is not THAT good) and I'm having a linden tea (so I do not get all stressed out).

Estas dos que siguen las saque un dia mientras almorzamos cerca de casa. El nuevo depa esta a dos cuadras de Las Cañitas, una zona de unas 5 cuadras con varios bares y restaurants. Este es uno de mis favoritos, se llama Las Cholas. Esta bueno ir al mediodía porque a la noche se pone muy lleno y ademas la luz es muy baja y casi no se ve lo que uno come.

So these last two pictures were taken while we were having lunch at a restaurant close to my new place. I think I forgot to mention that my place is just a few blocks away from all the bars and restaurants in Las Cañitas. This one is my favorite, it's called Las Cholas. I like to go there for lunch rthaer than for dinner. At night it gets too crowded and the lighting is so dim you can barely see what the hell you are eating :(

Ahora a esperar un añito para la próxima visita :) Now I just have to wait another year for the next visit. I do actually like having him home for a few days ;)

I have a view!!!!!

Here a few pics from the balcony view... such a nice change from my other apartment (no balcony, no natural light, no view). The net you see is there because the former residents had a kid, so it's a safety net. I'm too lazy to remove it.

Unas fotos con la vista desde el balcón. La red es porque los dueños tienen un nene de 1 año asi que la tenian por seguridad. A mi me da fiaca tener que llamar a alguien (y pagar) para que la saquen. Igual esta tan lindo tener un lugar donde se ve un cacho de cielo!!!!

and moving in!!!

Continuing with the moving saga :) This is my new kitchen. Continuando con la mudanza, esta es mi nueva cocina.

My new bedroom, with natural light!!!!! Mi nueva habitación con luz natural!!!!

My new living room, with balcony at the end... Note all the baskets there :( Dad and I were able to unpacked everything in two days (it was hot on top of everything) the day I moved we were dead tired!!!!
El nuevo living con balcón :) Y todos los canastos :( Con papá pudimos dsempacar todo en dos dias a pesar del calor infernal. El primer día quedamos de cama.

First things first... Computer and stero are working!!!!!!
Primero lo m''as importante: la compu y el equipo conectados y andando!!!
I will post in a week or two more pictures of the apartment completed (curtains, etc) so wait for it because it looks cute.
Voy a postear en unas semanas fotos del departamento ya terminado, con cuadros, cortinas, etc. La verdad es que quedo muy lindo!!!!

Moving out...

Hello!!!!

I know I have been lazy about my blog lately. There was too much stuff going around, one was moving, the other was that my Mom had a surgery (all went well and she's doing great) so my plate was kinda full. Things are getting back to "normal" now. I have started Yoga and I love it. Besides that work is the same, although I will get pay 7% less caused by the crisis... At least I have a job (crossing my fingers). Anyways, here go some pictures of my moving out.

The moving experience was different from my previous ones... Basically this time I had furniture and appliances to move and also is amazing the amount of crap I was able to gather in two years. the good thing is that I'm not longer a poor grad student so I could pay for a moving company. The only thing I had to do was pack my crap on those orange basket you see. We filled 19 total!!!!

Hola!!!!

Ya se que ando muy vaga con el blog, pero bueno, andaba con varias cosas en la cabeza y recién ahora es como que todo empieza a tranquilizarse. Por suerte la mudanza ya esta :) Esta mudanza fue muy diferente a las anterioes en Ames o Baltimore. Por primera vez mude más que una cama y un escritorio, además de que es increible la cantidad de cosas que junte en dos años!!!!!

Lo bueno es que ya no soy una pobre estudiante, asi que al menos pude pagar una compania de mudanza. Ellos te traen los canastos naranjas una semana antes y vos te ocupas de llenarlos con tus porquerias... Llenamos 19 en total!!!!

My dad came to town to help me out. Here with half the baskets full. Papá vino a ayudarme con la mudanza, la verdad es que se me hubiera complicado a mi sola con el laburo y demás. Acá esta con la mitad del trabajo hecho :)

Mayra came to the rescue the day before the moving and got all my kitchen stuff ready to go in 2 hs. It was AMAZING!!!!!

Mayra vino al rescate el día antes de la mudanza y me ayudo (casi todo el laburo lo hizo ella) a empacar la cocina en solo dos horas :) Diosa total!!!

Ok, now we are done!!!!! Just waiting for the movers...
Todo listo y esperando a los muchachos de la mudanza.

That's my room before moving out. Mi habitación antes de mudarme....
