Freaking out!!

Now that Breaking Bad has finished I feel like I had lost a good friend. I started watching the tv show just a few weeks ago!! I knew about the serie but by one and other reasons I haven't had time to see it up to now. And this summer I started to see, what it is for me, like the best tv serie so far!!!

I have other series to watch like next seasons of Walking Dead, The Big Ban Theory, How I meet your mother... and other ones that family and friends have recommended me, and I know I will forget to Heisenberg shortly, but what can I say??? I am sad for not watching anymore his adventures... his special realtionship with Jessy... his love for his kids....

Always that I say goodbye to a good serie I feel in the same way, I feel sad for not being to able to see it anymore :-( and now it's time to look for in internet about curiosities, behind the scenes, interviews with the characters.... and especially I am looking forward to sharing the final episode with my friends and talk about it long hours!!!

I can't believe I am not going to listen this intro for a new episode anymore!!! :-(

Intern in World NGO Day

This summer I am participating in a project to promote an initiative "World NGO Day", and I am working with an international team from many cities around the world to get their diffusion through Social Media.

This initiative wants to get an international day (February 27th) to recognize the hard job of all NGOs that exist in the world.

Thanks to this internship I am gaining knowledge in this new field for me, because besides the tasks of the internship I am doing some courses of Social Media to learn more together with the practice, and of course, in a way for free and online, because like I want to be a good Community Manager, I want to learn everything by myself and with all the resources that the  internet gives me. Because you can find all what you are looking for in the internet, you only need to be a good searcher!!!

Besides to manage the platforms in the network, I have to do other tasks like to interview people from different NGOs, and I have to say that I have met very interesting people during that time. Even some of them have offered me a trip for free as volunteer in Nepal!!

To sum up, I am very happy with this internship because I am learning a lot about Social Media and how to be a good Community Manager, I am meeting new people and learning from them, and I am doing other different tasks like Marketing Street.

Last week I had to hang posters in my city to get the attention of the walking people. It was interesting, and now I want to show you the pictures of that day:

 

Happy Summer!!!

It has been a long time since I have posted in the blog, but I have been very busy (and a little lazy XD) since I left Groningen. The trip back was awful; it was my worst trip since I have been living in the Netherlands.... The problem was that my luggage was very heavy, and I had to do a lot of train changes and walk a lot!!! I went to my friend's house in Eindhoven for sleeping, because my flight took off very early in the next morning from there... so there I was... walking almost through the whole city till my friend's house!!! hahaaha, but I have to thanks to her for the accommodation and the good company!!

Finally I arrived to Spain two weeks ago, and these weeks I had to organize my life and find my own place here again. And step by step I'm increasingly happier with all that I have in this moment... a new job in social media and market research (that I would like to tell you all more about this in the next post), new sports hobbies, new friends and new times with my old friends and relatives. 

So by the moment, I am going to spend the summer in my hometown, working and chilling out... enjoying the good weather in Spain and the magic nights walking around the Alhambra's streets. Next step could be the Netherlands again... or probably London... I am not sure yet but I will inform to you all about my plans. 

I will write you soon my dears!!!! Meanwhile I am going to show you some pictures from the last weeks!!

My heavy suitcase from Groningen to Eindhoven!!!

Nights summer with a good company!!!

Spanish food!!! Tapas!!!

Social media: #Instagram

As I told you in my last post, I have an account in almost all the main social networks, and one of them that I really like is Instagram. I like the vintage style that you can put in your pics, it gives them an especial atmosphere. So now, I would like to share with you all my favourite pictures that I have in this website, and if you want to see more, only click in the following link.

See you soon folks!!!!

How much do you use the social media?

I am passionate about the new ways of communication and the variety of things that you can share with all the emerging social media. You can show your favourite places from a different "point of view" on Instagram, share your musical tastes on Youtube or even your own creations, give your opinion on Twitter, blogs and also show your skills to get hired thanks to profiles like Linkedin or Glassdoor.... Anyway, I am pretty sure that I cannot tell you something that you don't already know.

This is what I like about social networks... you can share your tastes, your passions, your hobbies, things you really love with the whole world.... -besides that you can comunicate with anyone anywhere and find information about everything-.... but have you thought how far social media control us? I would like to reccomend you to a popular series in UK, Black Mirrow, which shows us in each episode how the new technologies can control our life, our decissions...

I don't know what will happen in a future... if it can be a help for the society or a dangerous weapon.... It will depend on ourselves, we need to use the social networks in a responsible manner and especially have a life outside of it... enjoy the free things of the life!! and I am not talking about wifi for free ;-)

I would like to learn all the secrets about social media... even to be able to create one of them... hahahha, why not? What I am certain about is that I want to learn more about them, and in the fututre I want to work in the direction of creating advertisements or specific publicity for this way of communication... combining two of my passions, publicity and social media.

The Last Queen's Day

This year I had double lucky. I enjoyed another Queen's Day in Groningen, and besides that, I experienced part of the history in Holland for the last year of the kingdom of the Queen Beatrix (Queen of the Netherlands)!!! It was very special, due to the environment ... This year, Groningen has been even more orange than last year... or maybe last year I didn't put so much attention in that.... but this year there was orange stuff in every place or shop of the city.

As you can see further down, these are pictures all over the city, even inside of the supermarkets there was orange and costumed products with the picture of the past Queen and the new King (Willem Alexander).

And about the party, I have to say that I enjoyed Queen's Day more last year... Last year I danced in the street with a lot of friends of my student house and I was almost 15 hours giving the best of myself in the streets of Groningen..... It was very special... I would like to show you some pictures of last year!!! This year I have missed them a lot!!!!!

And this year, I enjoyed much more Queen's Night.... I spend a great time with new friends and I was dancing almost to dawn. Next day, in Queen's Day, I was so tired due to night before and I went to bed very early!!!! 

And now I want to share with you all moments of the people with whom I shared Queen's Night 2013.

I don't know if I come back next year, but I will always carry the good memories of these two years in my heart.

My trip to Rotterdam

Since I started this blog I haven't posted pictures of my trips for all over the world. I would like to do it occasionally and show you that I don't take the typical pictures tourists take.... as maybe I told you before in another post, I prefer to take pictures of graffiti, shop windows, untypical places, unsuspecting people.... and to have in my memory other kinds of memories.

But this time I am going to show you pictures of the city of Rotterdam, its main streets and buildings. I was there a few days ago when I went with a friend after I had a job interview in Amsterdam that same morning.

Rotterdam isn't the typical Dutch city... is most similar to other European cities like Brussels or London (with high buildings and modern places), but I saw that Rotterdam is really quite to be such a modern city!!!! It's a little confused... because can  you imagine London, Berlin or Madrid with a crowd in all its streets?? Rotterdam is of this way... although I was in the afternoon... I don't know if during the morning there is more business atmosphere...

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this short trip to Rotterdam through my pictures!!
