Body fat and my birthday

This is a post on two totally unrelated topics. First as I told you before I just joined a gym last week. As part of my start up plan, I went to have a physical test to check my shape. It turns out I am officially not fat! My weight, body fat percentage and muscular mass are all within the normal ranges. However, of course I could be better so I set up a few fitness goals to accomplish in the next three months, so hopefully once I'm back in Lugano I'll me much fitter.

The second topic is my birthday "comida". I invited some people over to my place and I made pizza and sangria. I think they both were pretty good. As I told you before I don't have that many good friends left in Querétaro, but I least some people showed up and we had a good time, although to be honest, the best celebrations at VT76 were way better. I also bought way too much food and drinks so now I have lots of cheese, ham, soft drinks and 3 liters of cheap wine for sangria! So if any of you feel like coming down to Queretaro we could have a nice dinner.

I attach some pics taken with my dying camera, there will be better ones posted on facebook at some point. I'm getting a new camera soon.

Sporty Pizzaiolo

Is that how you spell pizzaiolo? I don't know...

Anyhow, yesterday was full with accomplishments (totally not thesis related). First, I started going to the gym, a supposedly fancy one where my mom goes, it looks like I won't be fatter the next time you see me. Then I cooked a pizza!!! that was quite a great accomplishment, I even made the sauce. What happnes is that I want to cook pizza for my birthday on Saturday, but I needed to try to make it first. It was quite good, I think. I used mozzarela cheese, tuna, corn, and zucchini. And finally I got a job interview, I was contacted by some person two days ago, yesterday I spoke with her and I'm still not sure if I would even be interested, but I think is always good to check it out. So I scheduled an interview tomorrow, maybe then I'll find out more about it.

So that's it for now... oh and in case it wasn't clear I am celebrating my birthday this Saturday, andI may cook pizza, not sure yet.

Ciao

Queretaro pics

I got my sister's camera and went to the downtown to use it and figure out how it works. I also wanted to be out of my house for a while, I needed some air. I was by myself since no one of the people that I know here was available. I used to go out by self in Lugano a lot, but here I almost never did it. strange, strange.

I have a thing for skys

and finally a beer, it was happy hour and I had two beers for less than 3CHF!

Mexico so far

So a few pics of my friend Adriana and I in a pic nic in my garden. She was just off the plane from London and I wanted to keep my Lugano style tan so we decided to get some food and a bottle(s) of wine and sunbathe in the garden. We took several pictures but most of them came out to look a bit inapropriate, so here are the ones that look okay.

our food

One last beer

A few pics from our last time at Oops. They are all red, it's "experimental" photography...

Re-entry

Well so I am back “home” and it feels very strange but good. The jet lag combined with the excitement and some stress about life manifested in three days of insomnia! I guess you all know me well enough to know that I never had trouble sleeping before. For the first days I just wasn’t able to sleep more than 4 or 5 straight hours at night or day, and couldn’t take naps either!

It many ways I feel a lot different than last summer when I came on vacations, of course now that I see it as where I’ll stay forever makes it a lot more dramatic… or as much as it’s possible with my so-called flat emotions…

I’ve been out in town twice already, once on Friday and then again on Saturday. On Friday I went out with a friend from my job, I had a few rum and cokes, we just cached up nothing special or too wild. On Saturday I met with my friend Adriana (the one who lives in London) who arrived on Thursday and three friends of hers. We first met in the same bar I was the day before and that I like, but then we went to another places suggested by one of her friends and we both hated it. It was just awful and the worst part was that I had to pay $120 entrance (about CHF 11), it was absolutely not worth it and you guys know I don’t like paying for nothing. I’d describe it as a bad Mexican antro. Anyhow we managed to have some fun, making fun of other people and having a couple of drinks. It’s so cool to have her here at least for the first two weeks to make the re-entry a little easier.

So this is it for now, I have to start working on the thesis today even if it’s just a little bit.

Please comment and drop by in here so I am encouraged to keep it going this time. I promise I’ll try to post on a regular basis at least for a while, as a means to keep in touch.

Ciao ragazzi

PS: Next I'll post a few pics from the last day at oops.
