What to do on Weekends.... ☀️👓🌴


When the week is coming to the end, many people are waiting anxiously for the arrival of the weekend, even when in the city the weather is not so good, there are many different options where to go if you are one of waiting for the weekend to go out of your routine.


Even if you don't have enough money to give yourself a well-deserved travel, you still have many different options near the city. One of the closest and more popular villages near Loja is Malacatos-Vilcabamba which offers the people good weather, almost the most part of the year is sunny and is visited frequently for tourists and people of the city.


This Village counts numerous places which you could visit and chill for a while, you can climb mountains, see landscapes, walk around the downtown place or go to the river and take a dip. Always is recommended to go there because of the near to the place respect for the city and the location. I recommend you visit with your family and friends instead of going alone.


Another option, but a little farther is to visit Catamayo, which is the nearest city to Loja, only 40kms apart from Loja. Catamayo gives you a variety of options, the weather there is like the weather of the coast cities, up to 35 C, and offers many recreative places, restaurants, and wide gastronomy (FYI: the most of dishes include meat). It will take you around 45 minutes to come there if you choose to go by car or bus. The city is bigger than Vilcabamba.


Or, if you don't have the time to go there, I recommend you visit the parks and walking trails that offer Loja, there are many different places to go too, but I prefer contact with nature and fresh air instead of closed places.


You can go to walk around the city, and maybe take an ice cream while you're walking, enjoy the company and try to see the buildings around you. When I go out to walk with my dog, I observe each building or people around me, I take the time to realize the things that surround me and enjoy the view.


On weekends, I usually take this time to go out to the walking trails and run, always it clears my mind and gives me the peace and clean air I need. I avoid staying out at my house or any other closed place, for me this is a waste of the weekend.

"OK Boomer"

Working life has introduced me to a whole spectrum of folks, spanning different ages and backgrounds. It's fascinating how age can influence the dynamics within a group. Back in college, my peers were typically within the same age range as me, roughly 20 to 25. But stepping into the workforce erased that age barrier entirely.  In my interactions, I've noticed some distinct patterns. The younger crowd tends to wear their hearts on their sleeves, valuing ideas and relationships above all else. On the flip side, the older and mid-life crew often prioritize climbing the career ladder and accruing material success. Bosses come in all shapes and ages too. Seasoned veterans bring a calm, empathetic vibe to the table, having seen it all before. On the other hand, the millennial bosses I've encountered can be a bit more... fiery. They're quick to react and slow to forgive, making them a bit of a challenge to work with. Sure, millennials might be shaking things up and spearheadin...

Another trip twelve years later

It has been a while since I finished high school, those were some of the best moments I have ever lived, my high school had a vast surface extension, many buildings and sections, and many classrooms crowded with hundreds of students. There, I studied for almost six years, I met good friends, some love and splendid moments that bring me a smile each time I recall. I never thought I missed my time there, when I was a teenager I swore I'd never turn back my sight to that place, now twelve years later I come back to the place that built me as a person. Last weekend, I had to work as an assistant for the referendum election in my country, as the last time I worked in the same position, I already knew what that job meant. To my surprise, the place was my old high school. I felt a nostalgia mixed with foreignness, I was part of that place for many years, but I felt like a stranger when I came back, many places were stagnant in time. I could visit my first classrooms just to find they were...

Prioritizing my to-do list

Since I started to document and follow my routine, endless things undone have reminded me that I need to make them time because they are also important. This feeling generates a guilty sentiment and anxiety for not giving them enough attention. But how do I prioritize among many significant things? Doing exercise is important, eating healthy too, studying and applying for jobs are equally important, but what receives more attention? what is not essential? This situation of deciding what requires more attention has put me in a challenging situation. Do I need to sacrifice my exercise routine to study more? What if I focus only on one thing at a time? While I worked my English routine decreased, and my motivation to study too, because as I mentioned before I was putting more time into either working or exercising. I thought I would have more time to do many things when I was younger, but the reality was different. Being an adult means you need to put some dreams aside if you want to avoi...
