Movies 🍿🎞️📽️




Is Friday night, and I realized that there were nights like this when I spent watching movies, sometimes alongside my family, some nights alone, and some others with friends. I have a collection of movies in my external memory disk that I saved since 2014 when one of my closest friends shared his collection with me.


We usually watched movies in his house; he had a big TV and a good stereo, and it was barely noisy in his home. In those times, I hardly knew about the world of the seventh art; for me, movies were only something that I rarely watched entirely; I only knew about some popular films.


I remember that in those times, we watched classic movies. My friend shared with me his collection of movies and series downloaded for a long time, and he recommended the webpage to download them too; at that moment, I didn't assist at college, and I had much free time to see all of them.


Furthermore, I started to download series and starting to watching them; some I can remember were: Breaking Bad (Although I never ended up watching it), True detective (One of my favourites), Cosmos (another big series), Daredevil, and House of cards, among many other.


I was fascinated by the history behind every series or movie; I started to be a "cinephile"; at the end of 2014, my memory was already full of series and movies. I began to subscribe to a good Youtube channel, Zepfilms, where nowadays I still watch their videos and listen to podcast shows.


But that passion vanished over time; once I returned to my studies, the marathons of series and movies diminished; the times when I used to gather with my friend to see a movie were less frequent too.


Now, I rarely enjoy a good movie until the end, even though now the use of Netflix and other platforms makes it easier to watch a film or series, and I must admit that seeing an entire series makes me lazy. But, still, there are moments like this when I want to see a good movie and just enjoy a moment to see a good story.

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...
