Una ciudad concava y convexa

Last week, I was talking with one of my work mates here in AIESEC, strangely I got a little bit nostalgic, I was remembering or thinking about all the things that I will miss from Mexico city.

When I used to come for vacations to Mexico City everything used to be fun, new, exciting, fashion, dark, interesting; that was the time when I started to think about in moving to the city and work or study here for a period of time, not realizing all the things that this city can offer to you. It´s all about living in one of the top 10 biggest cities of the world and the biggest city of North-America

The year passed, and one year and a half I got selected for being part of a team and work here in Mexico city in an office as a graduate and professional person, working for an organization that leads more than 700 people here in Mexico. I arrive here the last week of June of 2009, with a lot of expectatives, fears, dreams, goals... So that´s when my experience started.

Living and moving around Mexico city, it´s not so easy but it´s cheap, you can move through the metro, taxi or metrobus that are cheap for some people´s pockets but you can catch them in very crowd hours and can be a mess!!! I will remember how much I enjoyed taking metrobus not in crowed hours and pass all Insurgentes Avenue, the trees, the cars;

About some places in general, see the sunlight in Coyoacan, with all the trees like a wood, the fog during winter time, going through the downtown and all the old building full of history and memories, walking in La Condesa and La Roma, full of fashion, strange, funny, interesting places and shops, every part of all of this have something to remembers, and for sure I will miss it.

Living in a city of this size give you the chance to have a list of possibilities and things to do during the week and the weekend that never ends.

Now that is time to move on again, I´m trying to recapture all the feelings, mental pictures, sounds, smells, to keep it to me and when I feel kind of bored sometimes, they will just come in my mind.

And now I will start making the list of the things in spanish

- Los molletes de Frutos Prohibidos

- Comer esquites afuera del Superama de Michoacán

- Comer tamales rosas :P

- Andar en Metrobus cuando estaba solo

- Usar el taxi y que costara barato

- Ir a Coyoacán

- Ir al Parque México a bailar los domingos

- Ir al Superama de Michoacán solo a dar la vuelta al super

- Poder salir a las 2am y caminar por el parque

y mucha muchas cosas mas... you can name it if you want

Año del Tiger

Como cada 14 de Febrero, el calendario chino marca el inicio, este 2010, para ellos será el año del Tigre...


¿Qué nos deparara este año?

Yo solo espero que sea un buen año...

Modern Love

Hoy recorde un articulo que hace ya años leí en el NY Times, el cuál me recorde el por que uno no es propiedad de nadie mas...

Modern Love

Chequenlo, quizás a algunos les guste a otros no

changesssss...

Like the David Bowie song says: "Cha cha changessss, turn your face straight, changes", y sí, and well looks like I started the 2010 year with the right foot, even though the bullets in Culiacán were sounding... maybe they were my "lucky charms".

Traditionally I always take away the suitcase and run around the street, I starte to do it since I think I was 12 years old, thinking and still thinking that this will bring me a lot of trips in my life... sooo far sooo good, I had the chance to travel, not to so many places, but travel, inside Mexico and outside too, thanks to my family and also to me jajajaja... Then I started university, and started with AIESEC, that at the begining I thought will bring a lot a lot of trips, that It was not the common rule in the first one year and half

But this year, 2010, will be different I know, the first thing with which I started was having good news, one of them was that I was selected to be part of the Conference Team in the Iberoamerican Leadership Conference that will be happening in Lima, Perú in March, great point cuz now I knoew that I was going there and working also in one of the things that I enjoy the most... AIESEC.

During January I saw poeple that I have time no see them, and thought that never going to see them again, but it wasn´t true, we met again in Culiacán, delivered an amazing conference and share so many goog moments there. Then it was time to decide what I was going to do with my life for the next period, so I decided to apply and Member Committee in AIESEC in Spain, cool country to challenge yourself and others, stay few days in Culiacán, went to the beach in Mazatlan, visited my family and sudendly I was starting another process of my life...

And this week I got elected in Spain for bein Member Committee Vice President of Local Committee Development, strange position for the people that it´s not in AIESEC, but let me tell you that is a position were you have the chance to lead the growth of local entities in one country, which I find quite challenging coming from another country.

Now I will start another period of saying goodbye to some things that I like here in Mexico City, getting more apart from my family, but knowing that such is life and we need to welcome the cHanges because sometimes they are inevitable...

The question for this time will be...

Am I going to challenge myself this year???

OFFFF COURSE I WILL, that´s one of the things that make me feel alive, getting out of my comfort zone, and do what I think is right...

Los 10 pecados???

Abriendo hoy mi correo que manejo en mi trabajo, me encontre con el "newsletter" que publica una empresa de publicidad orientada a la responsabilidad social.

Y me llamo mucho la atención en la cual anunciaban cuales eran los 10 pecados de los "chilangos", ahora dejo a discusión ¿cuáles serán los pecados capitales de los culichis?

pasarse los altos, no ceder el paso, respetar la vía pública? seria interesante hacer esa encuesta aquí.

Aqui esta link pa que lo chequen

like it's 1999

Estamos a pocos días de cerrar el año 2009 y como puse en mi entrada : "It´s like 1999"- lo cual me recuerda aquel año en que pase mi año en la Cd de México, pensando en que se iba a terminar el mundo y que las maquinas enloquecerian, pero nunca paso, mas bien lo que se aproximo fue algo mas retorcido, haciendo que esta decada fuera algo inusual, llegamos a los 2000´s con calentamiento global, narcotráfico, secuestros, presidentes de color, "presidentas", olimpiadas chinas, maremotos, mas guerras en Medio Oriente, 20 años de la caida del muro de Berlin, así como tambien, grandes avances de varios aspectos, ahora vivimos nuestra vida a traves de los blogs, de la web 2.0, nos gusta la privacidad mas publicamos nuestras fotos para que todos nos vean.

Personalmente, para mi ha sido una decada donde he vivido muchas cosas, desde terminar la primaria, pasar por mi etapa de "teen", hasta haber terminado la universidad, trabajar en una de las organizaciones juveniles mas grandes del mundo, quizás tendre mucho que platicarle a mis hijos, como cuando yo preguntaba sobre la guerra y cosas que habían pasado cuando no había nacido todavía.

No me gusta ponerme muy filosófica y esas cosas por que la verdad no es lo mio, pero es algo que tengo muchos dias pensando y lo tenía que sacar de la cabeza de alguna manera...

Sientanse libres de postear lo que quieran... comentarios, musica noventera y cosas significativas de las deacada... jajajajaja

Saludos


P.D. Feliz Navidad, espero que no haya tanto balazo

About the name and the creation of this Blog...

Today my roomates (also my co-workers) were having a discussion about the blog utility in our daily life. I questioned them if it was necessary to have a blog to write about your life, what are you going to write about it, and we, the comparision about post on Facebook, Twitter or here...
Finally I read the blog about one of my co workers, the rumanian girl, who is writing about her live in a different country and different costumes, so I said, why not me writing about a girl in a different part of the country living with 7 strangers (still...), so now you know how this blog was born...

Now, sometimes I will write in english and sometimes in spanish, is just to practice both languages... and well the name why is "Natural Peligrosa", there are 2 words that a friend thought were related with me, Natural was a character, a cartoon girl that was pictured in different places, beach, woods, street, so he thought I was "Natural" in the real life, then "Peligrosa" came out, we I told him that I was studying Karate in the High School, so for him I was dangerous for that, maybe sounds silly or maybe stupid... but I don´t care is my blog and I can write whatever I want...
