My dog is a Hipster

Something has been happening lately. I do not know if you remember my dog, Pipa. You know, great hair, regal presence and hyperactivity problems. Well, she has been changing lately. She is becoming a hipster.

It all started a month ago. I brought her to a Starbucks. The symptoms started to appear slightly afterwards.  She started wearing thick-framed glasses, even when she has an awesome eyesight, and started drinking things like chai latte. She bought an iMac and says that The Black Keys have become too mainstream. She likes Tarkovsky movies now, in original version. She spends hours curling and styling her hair so it looks like she just woke up from bed.

I do not know what to do. I suppose I will have to face the truth, my dog is becoming a hipster.

Our economy is in crisis, who had not heard yet?Therefore, I am broadening my professional horizons by learning Arabic.

I already know the basics, say hello and goodbye, say thank you, or the formula to sell a friend in a bazaar; but I need to know more.

This is only the beginning, it is just a two-month course after all, but I am sure that when I finish, I will be prepared to find me a proper arab sheik to sustain my poor economy.

Jump Around

A while ago, during a job interview they asked me which super power I would like to have. I answered without a moment of hesitation, flying.

I have been really lucky in life and had the opportunity to travel around the world and visit a lot of different countries.  Every time I visit a new city, or a new country, I have the need, the urge to jump and immortalise the moment by taking a picture. I would love to really be able to fly, and that is why I content myself with jumping, a lot.

When I was a baby my parents put me in a jumper and let me there jumping for hours. Apparently I could not be any happier while jumping.

Maybe that is why I have this fixation with jumping ala Heidi.
