The International Day of Friendship, July 30th

7/30/2013

DECLARATION ON A CULTURE OF PEACE:

Article 2: Progress in the fuller development of a culture of peace comes about through values, attitudes, modes of behavior and ways of life conducive to the promotion of peace among individuals, groups and nations.

Today is an important day for everyone. Today we celebrate our friends. In 2011, the UN General Assembly with the idea that friendship between peoples, countries, cultures and individuals can inspire peace efforts and build bridges between communities proclaimed this day as the International Day of Friendship.Sadly, not all of us are privileged to say “I have a best friend.” However, there is always that someone who is always by your side for better or worse (not a wife or a husband) -- is it to listen, give advice, or just… be there. Friends...

Meine Meinung, a new type of music…?

As social media increases, our chances to expose our work gets easier. This doesn’t mean they are good at it or have the talent to continue torturing others. Today’s generation prefers things that are not “mainstream.” In other words, a rest from all the dissatisfaction we get from the “real” world. It is understandable though, that they are inclined to watch people failing or people getting hurt type of videos because this is a constant reminder that there are worse situations out there. However, A few weeks ago as I was surfing the web I came across an amazing band, Meine Meinung.

21st Century Skills

21st century classroom, has anything really changed?

In today’s world we are obligated to push our limits due to the need of developing special abilities that will prepared us for the challenges of work and life. These abilities also known as the 21st Century skills will not enable young and adults to be academically competitive in their fields, but also increased the level of awareness in their community, atmosphere, and everyday activities. I have identified what I believe are critical skills that if mastered will equip people with the necessary tools to understand their strengths and weaknesses.

However, this skills are hard to identify due to the high pressured path we are putting are children in. For example, today’s children are spoiled and are led to believe that they can do anything they want. But, is it really this kind of mentality we want to teach them?

International Day of Protest Against the Violent Abuse and Murder of Sex Workers

7/19/2013

0 Comments

July 19th, 2013 people are gathering in over 35 cities across the globe protesting against violence against sex workers. By reading this title, I can identify one thing: the person who wrote this or people against “this” are in pro sex workers but against violence against them? Now, after reading the whole article it seems clear that people support sex workers, here’s a piece: “Following the murders of Dora Özer and Petite Jasmine on the 9th and 11 of July 2013, sex workers, their friends, families, and allies are coming together to demand an end to stigma, criminalisation, violence and murders. In the week since the two tragedies occurred, the feelings of anger, grief, sadness and injustice – for the loss of Dora and Jasmine, but also for the senseless and systemic murders and violence against sex workers worldwide – have brought together people in 35 cities from four continents who agreed to organise demos, vigils, and protests in front of Turkish and Swedish embassies or other symbolic places.”

Butler Library, Columbia University

Pretty much everyone knows already that I am doing my master's at Columbia University, but few of you know how difficult it was to be accepted at an IVY League University. On my previous post, I talked about my fears and doubts of staying in New York, I didn't write or explained what made me change my mind (will do on another post), but for the sake of it, let's say Columbia was one of the major reasons for not to leave.

Columbia University in the City of New York, top #8 in the world, USA colonial university, known for it's intense curriculum and high quality programs in Law, Business, Psychology, Journalism, Politics etc.

Antes de venir a vivir a esta ciudad, siento que jamás imagine cuán difícil iba a ser vivir aquí. Después de tener un súper fail tratando de conseguir un trabajo en Japón, aplicando a más de 250 empresas, siendo aceptado por tres, mi visa de trabajo no pudo ser tramitada porque mi título universitario no fue expedido por una universidad americana. Después de pasar tres semanas lamentándome el hecho de que me tendría que quedar en MTY buscar una trabajo en logística -- la cuál me interesaba en lo más mínimo en ese entonces, decidí buscar opciones en otros lugares.

Cloud berry kingdom: game I've known for almost a year. I met one of the developers and played the game in the early stages of development in 2012. I loved it. Although, I am not a platform gamer, I found Cloudberry kingdom enjoyable and extremely addictive. Nevertheless, as pretty much everyone in my circle already knows, this game is about to be launched and everyone in the team seems to be excited - duh! of course! After years of development and constant work getting sales done and figuring out ways to program it, they can say, it's done!

Thanks to them and after the game launches I will officially become a translator. The Spanish version was made by me and it is going to be enjoyed by millions of people in a few months. I wonder how people will feel about the translation. The game will be available on Xbox, PS3, Wii U, PS Vita, Steam, and Nintendo DS.

I encourage everyone to check this game out as I am sure you will love it. Oh by the way, try to beat my score in Classic escalation 1.6m or double jump escalation 1.6m J I double dare you! I am positive you will enjoy this game.

Is there one way to simplicity? — There are as many ways as there are people who seek an uncomplicated life.

I would like to engage in the world of what it means to pursue simplicity, and if there is a way to get there — or more accurately, the many paths to getting to the many destinations.

What is Simplicity?

I could not found a single definition of simplicity. My view of a simple life will be different from yours or anyone else’s— and none of us is wrong.

My father told me a story when I was 14 years old and it was about someone living in a very rural zone in South America, with no electricity or running water or television or Internet. They used to wake up every morning to chop wood to burn for heat and cooking. They use water from a close by river for drinking and bathing. Nevertheless, these people were not able to go to town; they were indeed living a simple life. That is a pretty simple by most definitions. However, when I talk about pursue simplicity, I do not mean you need to step away from civilization..

“It was a dark and lonely night; and there I was waiting for my companion to arrive and begin our 10th year anniversary’s tradition. It seemed like she and I come from distant worlds and somehow I picture myself battling against liquid metal armor soldiers with a shield covered with crazy moving nasty spines and a devil-looking helmet covering most of their face. However, letting not myself get into a tremulous feeling of quivering fear; this is where I create and imagine myself flying to the shadows of ignition crossing from winter to summer and from fall to spring year by year sucking in every essence of energy left in this rotten world to battle them.”

There is a reason why many young people can not find their way today, find their true passion and/or most importantly know who they are; Is not to blame nor to point fingers, however adults and this high-paced world are giving less time to meditate to the young generation.
