i have a feeling....

OMFG!! i'm a truly monday hater! reporting LIVE from my kitchen table hehehehehe

weekend was good! had a few beers, nice dinners and good chats! went sunday to puerto madero and posted some pics on facebook.

kind of crazy today it was the deadline to decide for my next quarter internship.
i truly made the decision at last minute... so let it be! all i can say its that it might be either NYC or SAN FRAN! soo be ready cause i'm going back to the states!

for the rest, tons of work. keeping up the book and producing some more work! exciting.

in the meantime, here's a little sneak peak of my video from buenos aires. the challenge was to produce a 30seconds clip, AND of course that's almost impossible for me. i talk to much to resume everything in 30seconds!! hehehehe

i will keep adding up to it, it's kind of hard to catch up with all the pics and stuff but eventually everything will be posted!

for now a few pics from this week, including the PENIS ice crem cone! hehehehehe

and the link for the video ;-)

passing on my GERMS!

hi there world wide world! hehehehe
another week here in Baires! i've been pretty sick this week. i missed work monday and half tuesday. kind of sucks to be sick, it makes me homesick. when you are sick all you want to is be in bed and pjs and well i wanted to do that in M I A M I!!

oh yes, the sunshine state was in my mind!! unfortunately, i don't have an apt, home or even my dog ;-( -- btw, cocho is having fun with grandma and grandpa. he's taking walks and practicing his wolf skills... he's getting so much better.

we do skype everyone now and there and he freaks out.

what else?!! geez, here in Baires meds are available without prescription. i went and ask for something for the cold. apparently, i should not mix that with my US FDA approved medicine!!! i woke up tuesday morning freaking out. couldn't recognize where i was. it was horrible. my roomates where not here so i kind of panic for a few minutes till i finally realized i was in argentina!! fucking crazy! i know, i am a drama queen!! hehehehehe

this week has been full of work tons of brainstorming for coca cola, nike and geez thinking where should i apply for my next quarter.

that will be a mystery till i get it all resolved. deadline is monday morning!!! OMFG

hmmm, hopefully i will get better and i will get a chance to visit some touristy sites this week!

for now peace, i have to design nike logos! aghhhhh procrastination is essential.

Paty Aventuras... Uh Uh!

wooooow!!! what a week! we left the agency early, went silk screening, got sick and slept on the bus for 1:30hrs!!! oh yes!!!

friday, on my way to work i decided to take "el colectivo" which is the bus. apparently, i fell asleep for one whole hour! when i woke up i was like where are am i? so i asked the driver how much longer for my exit Ave. Rivadavia and he was like we passed that 30 minutes ago.

i immediately ask him why you didn't call for my stop?! i specifically asked him to do so, and he said i did call twice the exit but you didn't move. little detail... i was with my headphone soooooooo i didn't hear anything!

i was the only one at the bus chilling with the driver. i got to work around 1:30pm -- i was supposed to be at work at 11:00am. AWESOME!!

saturday, i went to "la carrera de los mozos" really funny. all the waitress and servers get together and run for one mile carrying their trays. really fun!!

at night we had a house party.. oh yeah! it was good until our guest decided to get delivered FERNET! Fernet is a type of amaro, a bitter, aromatic spirit with herbs. tastes like robitussin or worst! and they mixed it with coca cola... even worst!!!

i tried it... never again! its horrible. anyway house party was good. a whole mess we woke up today but that's ok.

i'm sick fighting the cold and hoping to feel better!

Los 6 Chiflados!

Another night en la ciudad de la furia!!

It's time to meet up the gang here in Baires! You will see their photo plus my sketches of them. It was for my illustration class... BE AWARE: thank god i'm not an illustrator.

Anyway here they are:

QUINN: Art Director. The other roommie. She's a south girl who loves Anthropologie and ñoqui (that's how the say here). Quinn eats ice cream every single day... sometimes twice a day!! She's liking it here -- hehehehe

JACQUIE: Art Director. She's a crazy bee who loves to dance... all the time!!! she comes from the miami ad school Minneapolis. Jacquie is Emmet's roommate

EMMET: Graphic Designer. She's from Sweden ;-) and has as many names as you can think. Her name is Emmet Emma Isabella Grahn... awww out of breath.. lol! She's a sweetheart.. and she loves orange! She reminds me of a god friend, Carla.

BRAD: Art Director. He's one of the roommies. He's from Detroit but went to school in Miami. We (Quinn and I) are always making fun of him. He's also known as Brian the mexican or Benjamin... lol

ALBERTO: Copywriter. Dominican and crazy as well! Always makes funny faces and he has the weirdest slangs ever. Like: Ah no, Chocolate... which means it's cool. hehehehehehe i think that what it means.

So this is the whole gang! We are all the FURIA: ARGENTINA quarter away kids!

Week 3

Yay!! week three already in Argentina... time flies!
So far this week is going pretty sweet.... the boss is out for vacations which means leaving on time the office ;-)

Since everyone ask me how is it really Argentina I thought I might highlight 10 important points:

1. Here they don't have CHURRASCO (skirt steak). In Argentina Churrasco is how they call meat!! So good luck ordering a "churrasco" you might get whole parrillada.

2. Bife de Chorizo: sounds like a lean chorizo hehehehe NOT! It's pretty much a New York Strip Steak

3. The toilet is different... to flush you press a square button on the wall.

4. I still have to see, but there's NOT that many hot guys in every corner as they say!!! ;-((

5. Everything has DELIVERY service... everything! Laundry, ice cream, food, BEER! you name it. The other day I called the laundry and they came and pick up the dirty clothes... hehehehehe AWESOME!!

6. Trash is left on the sidewalk and a guy comes and picks it up but not in a truck... instead is a huge bag with wheels... weird

7. THERE'S NO SOUR CREAM!!! The saddest news ever!!

8. Membrillo is the best fruit ever!!! I don't even know how to explain it. It looks like guava paste but better!!!

9. Coca Cola is cheaper than water.

10. Chimichurri criollo is red and made with red herbs... delicioso

FORRO!!!

hehehehe i like the sound of that word! it means asshole! hehehehe
i'm learning fast all this slang ;-)

soooo, it's Sunday! boooo ;-(

this week was kind of good. better than the last one. it was rainy and grey but at least we left work kind of early.

Thursday we went to the gallery show of Nate Williams
check out his website, he's an American illustrator who lives in B.A. and his work its pretty sweet. the good thing was that they were doing free silkscreen of his artwork.
who all went and got pimp out t-shirts of his work!

friday, was as sweet as it can be! TGIF!! we wanted to go out but we all fell asleep.

saturday, was good! I kind of miss Miami and my apt, my car, COCHO! i know it sucks! Don't get me wrong I like it here, but I miss my rutine. So, then saturday I spent the whole day by myself! Sweet as hell!!!! Went to the mall -- Alto Palmero and walk around Palermo and came back to the house.

At night, Jackie + Emmet locked themselves out so they stayed here. We all went for dinner at Lupita's an amazing mexican restaurant here at Las Cañitas! After that, we all wanted to go to this bar Jacko's where we were going to be meeting some guys from work but it didn't happened. The line was way too long! So we stayed having sweet drinks and chilling at a bar called Unico @Palermo Hollywood.

Today is sunday and damn I have sooo much to do, it's sick!

Tomorrow, we are going to week 3 here! 7 more weeks and it's over!! ;-( time flies when you've fun!

first: the gang! jacquie, quinn + brad

When you've a shitty day just WING-IT!

Yes, that what this Tuesday looked like. It has been raining all day and it's cold!!!!!
again, a non-stop walking day, but instead wet! not cool.

went today to see "La Boca" one of the barrios here. everybody scared me about the place. like be careful, don't take your camera. don't talk to anyone...
seriously, the neighborhood was just like "La Perla" in PR. it was bad, but nothing that i hadn't seeing before.

it was really colorful and for what i heard its one of the oldest areas of B.A. it was full of graffiti, art and tango! pics later to come! i'm tired to upload... lol

you bet i try to dance tango! i even have the picture as evidence. next time i will wear my sexy outfit to kick it up a notch -- lol

after that i went to "Puerto Madero" another area but it was sooo shitty outside that i didn't had an option but to leave. that's when out of the blue i saw this magnificent location called: HOOTERS!!! hehehehe

my eyes were amused and you bet i wing-it! wings and beer, the lunch of champions. although, i have to say Argentinian hooters girls have zero game next to the us chicas.
i guess i'm used to the blondie bimbo girls! anyway it was good, spicy as hell. no tabasco here but the real deal... AJII AJIII AJII!!! hehehehehe

ps: we just had ice cream delivered to the apt... AWESOME!!!
