Okay, so I said, I would have the video about our Thailand trip done by now, didn't I?
Well, truth be told, it's not done yet! I'm doing a little bit on a regular basis and I'm about half way through the trip. Already, it fills about 18 minutes. It's going to be a nice little souvenir! But...not yet. So patience, please, I'm on it.

Somehow, I'm into so many things that it takes a decent amount of planification and and even bigger amount of calmness in these moments when you realize that the day only has so many hours, before sleep hits me like a truck at night. I won't give up to sleep at least 7.5 hours a night, though. Having them is a precious part of being happy in life.

So, now, I will be doing my 7 Minute Workout, take a quick shower and head off to play with some building blocks with the kids - let's see if say will understand a bit more today already!

To not let you off without anything tangible, let me give you a quick recommendation of my favourite chat app for smart phones: Telegram. Private chats, groups, encrypted chatting and available for your PC, in case you prefer writing from there or in case you don't have a smartphone. Pretty cool.

What I've been up to in the last year

Ok, here is just a quick summary to see where I left off and what I'm writing about. Jauary - Topped up hours to work full time as senior analyst quality management at Computacenter Iberia. February - trip to France with a relationship-changing experience March - Got an award for best performance 2013 - rookie in my job and decided that it was taking up to much of my time. Where's the music? April  - New opportunities coming up - new position or new life concept? May - started my Spanish self-employment: working in Germany June - Started to go running July - Moved to Madrid, stayed with Rubén's parents for a month. Then trip to London to see my Canadian host family again after ten years! August - Trip to Wuppertal, my home town. People are nice, the weather is nasty. Seriously doubt I will ever want to go back. September  - New flat in Alcorcón and the first routines in the new area - meeting new friends, going to blues sessions, going out with Madrileños Oc...

My December: Thailand!

Yay,  I finally finished my video on my trip to Thailand with my sister! It was quite an experience. I had not done a backpacker trip like that before and it was to serve me as one of those trips where you step out of your comfort zone. As I don't want to bore you with many details, I will show you the video instead: Funny how in the end, I am left with only the good memories. Right after the trip, I dreaded the moment when people would ask me: "So? How was it???" Because honestly, it was not as cool as I had imagined from what people had told me. It was colorful and people were friendly, that part is true. But the backpacking? Well, I'm not a backpacker. I know that now. I don't like to pack and unpack my things every other day. My mood shifts drastically with every hour of transport I have to undergo in order to reach the next place. Travelling with my sister was a new experience. Although we had lived together in a shared flat as adults in the past...

Back to routine, baby!

Today is my second Sunday back home and it feels great to be back. Having moved to Madrid just this summer, I felt quite settled in November with my new life being ready to grow into routine. But instead of doing that, I detoured for a month and went to Thailand with my sister. Yes, report is coming up, but it'll take time as I'm not the best editor of videos. But now I'm back and I can't wait to get into everything again. Already, I had a really nice gettogether with Rubén's family, we spent the Spanish holiday "Día de Reyes" together. This used to be the day Spanish children would get presents which were brought to them by the three wise kings. Nowadays, both Christmas and Reyes are celebrated. More food, more presents, more time with the family. Apart from the presents, I'm all for it. We had a nice walk up the  peña of Cenicientos  and could enjoy a lovely view onto the village.  I was lucky enough to find some new friends right in the su...
