postChange Agent
Few nights ago, I saw a documentary on TV about Islam. They were interviewing this girl Irshad Manji, she wrote a book called “The problem with Islam today”. In the interview she was explain that most of the Muslims are not terrorists, but still they remain quiet when they should be shouting all injustices. Now I am not going to discuss in this post if I agree or not (coz I do), I find that this girl can be a role model even for non Muslims. I mean, she is doing something to change the world, she wrote the book and she expects the change. That makes me wonder, and I relate this with something that I’ve been writing about lately, about finding my call. She found it. I really hope I can find mine, I guess I have to be patience.

postAnniversary
Yesterday, my family and I celebrated the 40th anniversary of my parentsparents’ marriage, we went to the church an then we had lunch all together. ... I really don't have much to say about it, they do love each other, in their own particular way but still, they support each other and they fight each other. When I see them, I just ask myself, how can I not be tolerant with my boyfriend? And once I find the one, will I tolerate certain level of discussions and few fights just like they do? Or will I run away at the first argument? Well it doesn’t matter… for now hehe.
Anyway I admire them, to endure someone for so long is still quite a challenge.

postPassionate about expansions
There is something about expansions that captures me. Is that feeling of starting something new, the feeling of making other people learn the wonders you know for already a while. I would really like to go to an expansion initiative to the Middle East, but most of all, I would love to start expansions here in Latin America.

Two weeks ago, Efrain and I went to Honduras invited by Jose Maria Deras, one of the Global Vice-presidents of JCI, to a JCI convention. It was great meeting people that looked like AIESECers but older hehehehe. JCI and AIESEC have a lot in common, that’s why we have a global partnership right?
Well the point is that they are very interested in starting operations of AIESEC in Honduras and JCI in El Salvador. We went there in what we called “exploratory mission” to see what was feasible. We are currently writing the report and we will see what happens next....

postlost economist (economista perdida)
I am an economist now but what does it mean?
I wrote something about it some days ago, but didn't actually wrote what it means to me. And that's because I haven't find the answer yet, I am not obsessed (yet) with finding an answer, it’s just this annoying feeling of emptiness in when I see my diploma.
I know I have to hurry, I have to find the answer soon, even the priest said something today about finding our “call”.
Sigh
I know I wanna make positive changes in my society, in my country, etc, etc, etc, that is why I joined and mostly why I've stayed in AIESEC. My real problem is that I haven't find what am I really good at? So how can I cause positive changes if I haven't find my biggest strength? and how do I find it?
I feel happy... as always.... just a lil confused...

postsick leave sucks
Damn! I've been sick since monday, and I didnt go to work for 2.5 days. I have a huge infection in my pharynx (sorry if you feel offended by reading this, but this is very normal for people with Asma), my back hurts, my head hurts, my throat is itchy, thank God my nose is not blocked, but still the feeling is terrible, specially because, even when I get sick very often (at least 5 times per year) this is the first time in many years that an infections makes the doctor send me home!!! So I came back on Thursday, and my new friend, Bharath (from India) comments to other co-workers: "Ethel is specially quiet today, do you know what happens?" ehehehe, and he joined our team about 2 weeks ago!!!!
