updating!




it's been a while since my last post. not because i'm not having fun but because i have been lazy. these two weeks have been fun. tons of work but also some chill time. last friday we all went out to this bar called "El Alamo" it's supposed to be an american bar. actually its just a bar with american music hehehehe. the best thing about el amalo its that you pay a fee of $30 pesos = $7.50USD and you get a pitcher of beer.... wait till you see the picture! it's a huge!!!

after that we went to a club called cocoliche. pretty good music but the club wasn't actually pretty.

this past monday and tuesday were a holiday in celebration of argentina's bicentenary. unfortunately, we had to work because we had to brainstorm for a coke presentation. we all came out with great ideas!!

what else??!!! hmmm it's getting cold as hell. friday again we went to el alamo.. saturday was rainny, but still we manage to go out and get some shopping done. today i went to work again it was the shooting for the new Nike commercial.

since our time here we have been working and brainstorming for the new nike campaign. it's a marathon where if you get together with friends and run 5,900k together they send you to chicago to run the marathon. pretty cool.

it was a pretty sweet day except it was freezing as hell. it's getting pretty cold... can't wait for the sun and the beach!!!
here are a few pics of our nights out!

PRUUUUUMMMM, PRUUUMM is cold!



omfg, baires is getting colder by the minute! not good ;-(
it really makes me miss the beach and the sun!! i'm not meant to coexist in cold weather hehehehehehe.

anyway, another week full of work and new possibilities.

the picture from above is my daily scenario. everyday i see dog walkers with at least 10-15 dogs at the same time. baires is full of dogs and with that comes shit everywhere! it's 10 times worst than miami, i swear!

anyway, i thought it was really cute.

---->> funny joke: i took the bus today and i ask the bus driver for directions. inmediately, he knew i am not from here, so the 1million dollar question comes along:
"where are you from?!" i said: Puerto Rico and he's face changed completely....
he inmediately told me he loves reggaeton specially wisin & yandel. i'm like cool! trying to ignore him. not really working. soooo, he comes again... i love cosculluela... i'm like i dnt know who's that! he gave me the look. i really don't follow reggaeton so i'm lost. he takes a cd or something and plays it out loud in the bus!!! PRUUUUMMMMM, PRUUUUUMMMMMMM, PRUUUMMMMMMMMMM!!! oh yes!! reggaeton out load for you my peeps! i wanted to die! there was an old lady next to me. her face was priceless. almost as mine.... sooo yes! be careful when specifying nationality.. maybe next time the driver will make you throw some moves... lol lol lol

chillaxing

sup!!! i'm upset is sunday! ;-(
and time is flying... 4 more weeks and its over! can't really imagine that.

i'm trying to see as much as i can before leaving. however, for some reason i just don't like to move on sundays hehehehehe lazy as hell!

yest. i went to recoleta and check everything out. got the touristic pics and so on. at night we all went together to have dinner. pretty good! after that we went for a few drinks at this really cool dutch bar.

funny... at the rest. since we are americans they change the music for tupac! omfg, it was a nice fine dinning restaurant. tupac wasn't exactly the type of music for that place... typical stereotypes, what can i say?

it's getting really cold boooooooooooooooo ... it's 55F but its so humid it feels like 30 hehehehehehe.... can't wait for the sun and the beach!!

for now just waiting for news hopefully this week i will know what's my next destination!

La Boluda esta cansada!



yeah, that explains the lack of postings! i have been really busy this week. tons of work and i got sick again.

this week we worked on the installation for the 48 barrios in celebration for buenos aires bicentenary. the exhibition is currently displayed at el centro cultural de recoleta.

after the exhibition we all went out for some drinks and as always had some fun ;-)
pictures later to come!!!

also thank god for pharmacies around here. you don't need a prescription if you go to a small pharmacy!! that's how i got the good stuff.

today we had luch with Furia's new partner it was really good.

Tomorrow hopefully i will go around for a walk and some sightseeing.

In the meantime, here are some pics from this awesome diner place we went called MUU @ Palermo. Desserts were amazing!!


ps: time is flying... i only have 4 more weeks here and it's over :-(

El Tigueron te va a coger...



no pare, sigue sigue! hehehehe yes! today we (brad, quinn + collin and me) went to TIGRE. Tigre is a small city on the outside of capital baires. it' pretty nice, surrunder by rio de la plata and restaurants.

the town sits on a island with an exit to the ParanĂ¡ Delta. it's pretty sweet the town itself is pretty small and it has "the biggest amusement park in latin america" or so they say, the fruit market and tons of restaurants.

we took a water taxi to see a little bit of the Delta and it's incredible. imagine living on the country side, far away, wood houses, full of green and nature but instead of having a main road the only way of transportation is a boat!!!

they have police boats, emergency boats, a supermarket boat that goes around weekly. they even have schools and kids take the boats... soo funny!

it was cold, full of fog and smoke from the fireplaces.

see all the pics here:

Son of Bully?!





hehehehe yeah! don't freak out... this is one of the headlines for Bully, a cashmere sweater clothing line. at the agency they are on charge of the store advertisement and as part of the launching they did a huge party!

some of the guys design bags and other did an installation. party was Thursday night and we all got wasted! was actually the first night we went all out together and we definitely had fuuuuun! ;-)

there was FREE champagne + wine, so the rest is history!

look at the pics from the party.... pretty sweet!
