HD

For more than a year I have been trying to watch everything I can in HD, if I have the option of watching something with a better quality I welcome the extra pixels, for most people it might not make a big difference, but once you note it there is no coming back, I mean, I will not get angry if I can't watch something in HD, and if there is no other option I'll still watch whatever I was watching, but if there is an option, then I go for the best quality available.


BTW, I didn't forget to post yesterday, it was windy and my internet connection went down, and it didn't look like it was coming back, I did wait for like half and hour and nothing :(

Weird service...

After two weeks without phone here at my house Telmex finally repaired our line, I reported it in July 27 and I was told that either that week or next we should have a technician visit our house to check if there was any problem with the line, well no one ever came, my mom reported it again last Tuesday, and she was told the same thing, that a technician would come here before Friday.

And no one came, I do not know what was the problem with our phone since we had internet all this time, it was just the phone that wasn't working. And today we received a call to make sure that our phone was working properly... yes we received a call, but no technician ever came here, and now after two weeks of waiting they just call? I'd like to know what happened, well, I don't care that much, but it was weird since we have no problems with our payments and the phone was fine, and as I already said we had Internet. It is working fine now, and that's what matter, but it took too long, but why do I care? The only reason I use the phone is when I can't use my cellphone or to call for pizza.

Must eat...

Here I am, it is 3:00 a.m. and I feel hungry, this whole week I have been eating very badly, this has been for two reasons, the first because I started working out again, and the second because I have been working hard this week for the projects I have and reading a little for my therapy session next week.

The reason working out is affecting me is because I decided to cut my meals and divide them through the day, well, I haven't been able to do this properly, I do cut them, but I am just eating less because I forget to eat at the hours I am not accustomed too, and since I am working most of the day I forget about it and I go grab something when I feel really hungry, that is if I do not forget that I was hungry by the time I decide to go grab something.

I should probably try to write a schedule, but I suck at things like this.

Movie debate...

As part of the plan to get some funds to pay us at the "Centro Colegiados" we are doing a movie screening in a theater, but not only a movie screening, it has to have a meaning and something of value for the people we are showing, so we decided to take a movie that shows a mental disorder and make a debate after it with some specialists in the topic. If things go well this could cover a good part of the salaries of the people who work here (including me).

Some of the movies that we have in mind are
Sleepers
Sybil
One flew over the cuckoo's nest
As good as it gets
... and I can't remember the others >.<

Well, these are some of the movies we could show.

Opportunities...

As I wrote yesterday, I am officially working for the "Centro Colegiados" or Capsic, for the moment I have just one patient, but this opened an opportunity for more things, today I received an e-mail for a vacant for someone good with psychometric tests (I must admit that I really like this and am good), but this is only for those that already work here, so I am applying for this too, I still don't know the details for the job, but I will try anyway, there is nothing to lose for trying.

A bet on the future...

As I already wrote, my institution is passing through difficult times, but that doesn't mean that it will stop working, yesterday I went to my school again to see if my credentials were ready, well, they weren't, I need to call next month... fuck that, one more month without documentation is too much.

Ok, I have something to confess here, I do have a work, I haven't write about it because right now I am not working properly here, well, that was until this Sunday, for the last months I have been studying  hard to learn web development, I form part of a web development business that is run by 3 persons (me and another 2), but this isn't the right time to write about it, I'll write about this in the proper time.

Yesterday in the afternoon I received a message from a friend for an opportunity at the "Centro Colegiados", one of the projects of the "Colegio de Psicólogos", my friend told me that there was a patient that wanted to receive therapy, but he wanted a male psychologist, and since there aren't many there they called me, I am now officially working here and will probably get more patients.

But there is a problem, since there is the situation with the money it isn't sure that they will be able to pay me by the end of this "quincena", they still need to figure out this problem, but I made my bet by staying and used this opportunity to get some experience, also I still have one of my projects (a project of vocational orientation), the other one that I said is actually a project for my company and the "colegio", a web site for it, but this one can't be paid for obvious reasons, we are still going to do it, for free, and get some advertising.

I am betting too much for this projects, and I will work my ass off for this to succeed.

Yoquigua

So, my last name in facebook is listed as Yoquigua, but here in gmail I have it like Gutierrez, my official last name is Gutierrez, but it really should be Yoquigua, that was the last name of my grandpas dad, but due to circumstances out of his control back when my grandpa was still a child (between 8 and 10 years old) he had to change it, his father died when he was very young and since my grandpa was the legal owner of thee lands that his father owned his uncle convinced his mom to send him away and make profit from his lands.

I don't remember all the history my grandpa told me about it, and how he changed his last name, but he once told me that it should really be Yoquigua and that he would like to change it, but he is too old and it would be to much work, I like it and that is why I use it on facebook.

That is really a good story that I will write some time :), but right now I can't remember it as well as to write it.
