Frogs

I guess each country has its collection of weird signs...

The progression of Spring

One of the things I love in this country is the huuuuge contrast between seasons. I already talked about the white winter and now comes the multicolor spring.

It all started like a very shy intent to get rid of the winter...


But soon the plants got confident and their color explosions began!



And the best for the end: my all time favorite the Magnolia tree


En la flor de la vida

Six months are gone since I started working. I've met very nice and interesting people and I've learned things that will help me improve myself in the future. But now that I was starting getting comfortable I've gut to go. I've got to rotate. Start from scratch. I'm changing from Controlling to the department of Business Development, where I've never worked before. I will not be "controlling" our figures anymore, which in these days can be kind of depressing... I will not be caring about today or the past (which is the focus of the controlling department), but I will be caring about the future. It will be a refreshing change. My new colleagues in the Business Development department analyze new business opportunities that might be a future opportunity to improve our company.

Six months I've been working in Controlling and another six months I'll be in the new department. After that time I'll have to go again. But we won't talk about that now.

Right now I'm enjoying a short brake of 9 days that I'll be taking off. My brother is visiting me, the weather is wonderful, the spring is beautiful and I feel I'm in the prime of life... or what's the same in Spanisch: estoy en la flor the la vida.
