Cielo Rojo en Sydney

Hola a todos..

El día 23 de Septiembre, me llego una noticia muy rara...

Mi novia me comento que Sydney había desaparecido... Yo me quede ¡¡¡COMO!!!, "DESAPARECIÓ", apoco David Copperfield tenia cuentas con Sydney.
Bueno, mi novia termino diciéndome que hubo fuertes vientos, los cuales habían levantado arena rojiza del desierto llevándola hasta Sydney, cubriéndola con un manto rojo.

Investigando en Internet, encontré que estos ultimos dias ha habio vientos muy fuertes en NSW y en Australia del Sur provocando que se levantara arena rojiza del desierto australiano llevándola a la ciudad de Sydney.

Esta ultima amanecio con polvo rojo como marte y hubo muchas contingencias.

Se suspendieron los vuelos a la ciudad, los cuales fueron redireccionados a Melbourne o a Brisbane.

La visibilidad era muy poca, por lo cual transitar por las calles se volvio todo una faena, ya que solo se podía ver a unos cuantos metros de distancia.

Este acontecimiento no es nada común en las ciudades australianas, por lo cual se le pidió a la gente que se abstuviera de salir y que mejor se quedara en casa.


Saludos







Hi Mates..

The last September 23, 2009, I recieved a very strange news.

My girlfriend told me that Sydney had disappeared. 

I said WHAT!!!, "DISAPPEARED", That's insane. Has David Copperfield had problems with Sydney?.

Well, with all that confusion, my girl told me that the problem was produced by strong winds from the last days, those winds loaded with red sand from the outback covered Sydney with a red dust cloak.Searching on the Internet, I found a lot of information about that situation.

I found that the cause of that rare event, like my girl said, was produced by the strong winds from NSW and South Australia, those winds lifted a lot of dust from the outback cause is too dry out there, this caused that in the morning, the sky of Sydney looked like sky of mars, producing many contingencies.

The airport suspended the service and all airplanes on route was redirected to the most nearby airports like those Melbourne or Brisbane.

The visibility was so blurred and caused a slow down on the street traffic, because you could only see a few feet ahead.

This is not a common event on Australian Cities, that is why the goverment asked the people to don´t leave his homes and stay on them.

Here you can find some pics about this rare event..

Estos últimos días....


Hi mates..

Ha pasado algún tiempo desde la última vez que escribimos, y bueno nuestras razones tenemos.

Para mi una de ellas ha sido el trabajo, al igual que para mi novia.

La otra el ingles, desde la semana pasada iniciaron los cursos de ingles en mi trabajo, 3 días a la semana a las 7:00 de la madrugada.

La otra es que ya comencé con el gimnasio otra vez, voy 3 días a la semana.

Estos dias han estado muy ajetreados. Trabajo por aquí y por haya, pero bueno, como sea hay que salir adelante.

Y por si fuera poco, la tesis, ha
que la Tesis... me ha dado de una de dolores de cabeza que casi esta apunto de silbar como cafetera, jeje. Y es que bueno, para variar de nuevo nadie nos
puede apoyar ha hacer nuestra tesis, que de plano los maestros no dan una, es un tema muy sencillo, es sobre sistemas distribuido, que de plano esta muy difícil???.

Pero bueno, mejor opte por realizar el seminario de titulación y créanme que le doy gracias a dios que en mi trabajo me van ayudar, pagando la mitad de este, ya que como se pueden imaginar su costo es de $ 3 pesos. Pero bueno, sólo falta que pasen el pago y que me inscriba en el curso; espero que mi novia tenga mejor suerte en su escuela que yo.

Aquí en mi trabajo las cosas han estado un poco pesadas por el proyecto que llevo, estamos abriendo una nueva filial del trabajo en Perú, ya casi terminamos, y después de Perú sigue Colombia, pero antes de está, mis merecidas vacaciones, créanme que tropicalizar un neg
ocio no es cosa sencilla, pero bueno, todo va viento en popa...

Y por si fuera poco me púese a estudiar para realizar mi examen de certificación de Microsoft, pero bueno, con tanto que hacer, creo que lo voy a tener que posponer un tiempo.

Ya ni tiempo he tenido para practicar uno de mis hobbies favoritos, la fotografía; no soy muy bueno, aún no he tomado algún curso, pero me gusta mucho y hace poco cambie mi D40x por una D90, me ha salido muy buena esta ultima, y mas porque tiene 11 puntos de enfoque, a comparación de la D40x que solo tenia 3, entre otras muchas características..

Ahorita nuestra meta se ha centrado en obtener nuestro titulo, para así proceder con la aplicación para la visa, todavía no sabemos si la realizaremos por nuestra cuenta o por medio de alguna agencia, aunque otro punto importante de la aplicacion es el examen IELTS, ya que este es un punto clave en todo esto, solo le pido a dios que nos siga dando las oportunidades y los ánimos que hasta ahora nos ha dado para continuar con nuestro camino, ya que gracias a el todavía seguimos adelante.

Les damos las gracias a todos los que nos han mandado sus comentarios y correos para darnos animo..

Gracias a todos.

Saludos!!!




Hi mates.

So much time has passed from the last time we wrote on our blog, but we have our reasons.

One of them, the work, so many many work arround our heads..

Another one, the english courses; the last week, the english courses started at my work, 3 days a week, at 7:00 hrs.

The last one, the gym. I started again, but this time, I'll go 3 days a week.

These days had been too hard. All I see arround me is work, work and more work, but we are on the way.

Just one more thing. the Tesis, the fucking tesis. The only thing has gave me is a headache and feels like a exploding pot; cause, again, nobody want to help us. The tesis, is about distributed systems, is not a difficult topic, but, well.

Now I have decided enroll me in the degree seminary, I´m glad to god, because my boss will help me paying the half of the course, and his cost, just for 3 pesos, my boss will pay 1.5 pesos and I 1.5 pesos, gee, that´s great, of course I'm being sarcastic. And now I'll wait for the payment to enroll me on the course, I'll hope my girlfriend's luck be better than mine.

At the office, I've had so much work to do, we are expanding the company to another countries, like Costa Rica and Peru (I'm working on the last one), we are almost finish, and after we have finished, the next goal is Colombia, but in first place are my vacations; Believe me mates, to make an operating subsidiary is not like doing enchiladas.

Some days later, I started to study for my microsoft certification exam, but, with so many things to do, the only thing I can think now is work, work, work. I'll postpone my exam for a while, when I'll get a little time.

These days have been so hard in the work and I've almost had not time for one of my favorite hobbies, photography, I'm not so good enough, still I don't attend a course, but it doesn´t matter for me, I like that so much, and that's why I bought a D40x, but a few months ago I changed it for a D90, this one works fine and one of his profits are the 11 focus points better than the 3 focus points of the D40x and some many other stuff.

For now, our goal is get our degree and afrer that get the australian visa, we don´t know if we'll use a migration agency or we are going to do it by our own way, although another important issue to get the visa is IELTS Exam, this issue is the most important of all others ones, I pray to god every day for all the opportunities and the strength he has given us at now to continue with our objectives, because thanks to his help we can move forward.

We are gratefully to all of you for his comments and his mails to give us encouragement.

Thanks to every one.

Best regards.
