Well it has been some days that I don't upload anything about how my new life is going on here.

On Monday.

I woke up and the first I noticed was the f*cking cold weather: I'm definitely a warm person. I took a shower (again, f*cking cold) and had breakfast. I took the Metrorrey (aerial urban railroad of this city) to get to my work. It's overstated that I'm "suited" (with a suit)by this time. The Corporative Offices are amazing, the luxury that L. Zambrano has put into them is very interesting, to say the less. After all we are talking about the World's #1 provider of building materials and the third largest cement producer. After several stairs and halls we finally arrived to the initial presentation and meeting. We met our new colleagues and then we talked about this year objectives. Apparently I'm going to be cooperating in the Renewable Energy and Green Tech project area. One of the CEMEX's goals for next year (apart from making chunks of money) is to boost its social and environmental responsability and to project this scope to the Mexican society.

There are two parts of the project: one which I can talk about here and other which I can't.
The thing that I can talk is that if the project works and is implemented we would have reduced the dangerous, global-warming inducing, CO2 emissions in the average Mexican home by 20%. And of course the project needs planning, market studies, metrics, logic, and week taking thingamaging sessions of ideation and action. Can't reveal further details.

And after this session, we were taken in a tour through the Corporative. I had "hora de la comida" (lunch time). I had "cabrito" for lunch, with a soft drink. Then to read the preliminary reports that would be useful for the project and finally to the home to rest.

On Tuesday:
Pretty much the same routine, with the f*cking cold weather, but this time we were assigned to read (and I mean a lot) about the needs of the Latino and Mexican housing market and the opportunities for Green business around it. The day passed faster than I thought. I had tacos for lunch, with a bit of salad and lemonade. When I returned home it was very dark. You could hear the silence for a while. Finally I was safely at my department, writing this.

Wow! This is the first time that I write a journal as if I was really writing a journal for myself hahaha.

Also, you gotta see that there are other reasons for me to go living in Monterrey:

I think that most of my male viewers will enjoy this, unless one certain "brainless-wannabe-mechanic", who would rather prefer to see NFL jocks instead of *hum* ¿ the cheerleaders? darn, IT could be a bit more normal and at least have a like for mermaids. But again, he wouldn't enjoy the video because it features mexican girls, whom IT considers Klingons.

Take care comrads!

With love, Rodrigo.

After three days of moving, arrangements and travel I have finally settled in my new apartment, in the city of Monterrey, Nuevo León! A nice apartment on a blue flat, on a nice zone, near a park. In San Nicolás. I brought all my belongings (including my PC and laptop) and now I'm trying to catch up will all your kind messages!

There's a very good view of the city, albeit I'm not very far from the city centre. Just enough to be at a few steps from the mass transit system (Metrorrey), near a grocery store and at an adequate distance from my new workplace.

On this Monday, my team and I will have a brief meeting with our new co-workers and staff from the Corporative. We will be introduced to how things work here and will receive our schedule for what's left of the year and for 2010.

It will be interesting to know how living afar from family is. Freedom but with responsability!

Sorry for not being able to upload anything in the last weekend, I was busy with the preparations for the move.

I will catch up with that, too.

Hi everyone! I hope you have had a nice and excellent weekend, full of joy, fun, drawings and wild sex! Hahahaha, except for those who still live in a hill, drive an old tsubaru, get aroused by Tom Brady's pecs and leadership (which one?), and have been cheated over by their mexican gardner... For them, a multilateral, peer-supported PERMA-Block!

Now, to business!

Moving to another city!

I will be moving from my home city to the Industrious City of Monterrey, in the State of Nuevo Leon. The moving will come by Wednesday and the process will be completed by Friday, so it will be difficult for me to keep in touch with you all in the next days.
Why I'm moving? Well, it is related to the job. Apparently I'm doing the things right and they are assigning my team and I to the critical areas, near the Corp Offices. Who knows? I will tell you how beautiful Monterrey is once I get there. They say the weather is nice in this time of the year.

Mensa Society

I applied for MENSA Society Intl. last week, and they made me a series of tests: for measuring logical, mathematical, spatial and linguistical intelligence.

NOw, you will say: This physicbastard is just bluffing, being presumptuous and an a$$. Well, maybe the last one a bit, after all, because of my "fifth leg" people may confuse me with one... OK, Ok, enough of getting around the point.

I obtained 175 in the Catell Scale (or 150 in the Standard Scale) and they admitted me in MENSA I mean, a professionally reviewed test from a prestigious association (and not a pop-up, pop-quiz, pop-ad test) I mean, and the f*cking test was in f*cking english (I had disadvantage because it is not my native language) Were it in Spanish the score certainly would have been higher.



And just like THE only and original Jeepster" , says in his journal [link] High IQ is not meant to "look down at everyone", but to help everyone around.

Call me commie, I don't care, but I think that people who are gifted must "give" something to the Society in return. From each according to his ability, to each according to his need as long as the needed one demonstrates said need and the deep desire to stop being in need. That's why I'm working at CEMEX social program, to help the people of very low to low income to improve their lives, through a system that allows them to build their homes, with their own effort and sweat, but with a credit-savings scheme that helps them to get building materials of high quality and expert advice. And the best thing is that it does not create parasitism and dependency like the govt programs, since it's the people's effort with a bit of help, to help them discover their potential.

And well, that's all for today. Wish me luck and lots of "success" in the moving and at work, because God is going to return you 100 to 1 of what you wish for me. If you wish me one dollar, God will give you 100 dollars. I you wish me and my family 2 hardships God WILL give you 200 hardships. Pretty nice eh?

How good will you sleep tonight?
I heard Obama will enforce environmental laws and limit certain kinds of energy and electricity by applying new taxes... God bless him!
