Pensaba en un post para hoy y recordé un episodio de terror que me ocurrió un octubre, hace diez años: Estaba en casa de una amiga, con un grupo de compañeros de clase. Preparábamos el proyecto final de 5° Año. Sin darme cuenta se hizo de noche. La mayoría de los muchachos vivía en dirección opuesta a la mía, sólo Evelyn y yo teníamos la misma ruta hacia el centro, así que caminamos juntas hasta la parada de autobús. Las calles estaban completamente oscuras y sólo podíamos…

🇷🇺 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗯𝘀 The other day I was watching a video of my friend Eugeniu (Женя) about the russian verb Переборщить [𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗯𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁'] (𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗼) So, I posted a comment using that verb in a sentence: я часто переборщаю с майонез❌ [𝗬𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗯𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘆𝘂 𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘇] (I often overdo with the mayonnaise) The thing is that what I thought was the correct conjugation (using the 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘫𝘶𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘦𝘴 I've learned) he told me it was different for this particular verb: It…

𝐇𝐨𝐲 𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢́ 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞 Últimamente tengo la sensación de que mi vida está mejorando. No porque haya habido un cambio significativo o porque mis problemas se hayan solucionado, es más bien un cambio en mi actitud. Comienzo a retomar ése rumbo que perdí —o que comencé a perder— hace un par de años. Todo éste tiempo desde que inició la cuarentena, incluso antes, me vi rodeada de tragedias. Me enfrentado a un tipo de dolor que no conocía y sobre el que no sé si algún día seré…

🎬 𝐒𝐨𝐛𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐥𝐢́𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐬 𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐬 📚 ¿Se han fijado que algunos personajes de libros parecen estar escritos para un actor específico? Siempre que leo un libro suelo asignarle un actor real a cada personaje según me vaya pareciendo su personalidad. Cuando leí "𝘼́𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙮 𝘿𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙤𝙨" de 𝗗𝗮𝗻 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻, aún no había visto la película correspondiente, sólo la primera; por lo que 𝗧𝗼𝗺 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀 ya tenía su papel asignado sin tener que pensarlo.

Today I tried to prepare a recipe from my friend Yuta. He made some kind of lasagna, but with rice; he calls it "Japanese-Italian food". I just made a slight change 'cause I didn't have all the ingredients; I also added some broccoli. And now it is ready to bake it with pasta. Sorry, Yuta for taking out the japanese part off of your recipe. But sure it will still be delicious. 😂頂きます🍜 #food #recipe

𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗻𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 I just noticed that when I'm waking up, my brain starts switching between english and spanish. Like if I couldn't coordinate my thoughts with my hands, I was having trouble finishing a four lines english post about food and it was like: Sentence 1 in spanish + sentence 2 in english + sentence 3 spanish again...🇺🇸🇪🇸🇺🇸🇪🇸🇺🇸 It took me half an hour to fix all that mess.😂 But I'm glad 'cause this means that I'm finally thinking in english. That also reminded me of…

Today it was bath day for these two (Blacky and Misa). It's funny because when they see me holding the shampoo and wearing my waterproof pants they run af to hide, but when I'm drying them they look so happy of being softy and to smell like cologne. --- Hoy fue día de baño para éstos dos (Negro y Misa). Es divertido porque, cuando me ven sosteniendo el shampoo y usando mis pantalones impermeables, corren a esconderse, pero cuando los estoy secando se ven tan felices de estar…

I like going to run before sunset, it helps me get to sleep at night. But these two years I stopped doing it because of the quarantine and my university classes. Today I started again and I feel great. Long time ago I used to go swimming with my cousins. I prefer swimming over running because I sweat less, but I have no idea if that place is still working these days, or how much does it cost. I think it would be awesome living near a beach, I could do both running and…

I guess I just got excited with the machine and made too many repetitions. It's funny, I thought it would be my KNEE the one giving me trouble. 😂 The good news is that my friend Frank started his project as an Online Personal Trainer last year. I'm gonna contact him to design a custom routine for me not to get hurt again. I know, I…

Hello, Noise's tasters and travelers. Today, after a long morning doing home tasks, this tasty gift arrived right on time for lunch. In my country we call it "cachapa" and it's some kind of corn pancake that you can eat with cheese, beef, pork... Whatever you want. You can make it with grounded corn or corn flour (I'm pretty sure this one was made with corn flour). Few months ago I learned how to make it: Just mixing corn flour, salt, sugar and baking powder. I won't tell…

I spended the whole semester programming coordinates transformations on Excel, so I no longer want to see a single calculus sheet for the rest of vacation. Now I have to make a budget and inventory... But I'm procrastinating it. The only cells I want to see are from a Scrabble board. 😂

Hellow noisers!🐾 Yesterday I made some new friends. I was jogging when I saw a doggy running in the middle of the avenue, he seemed lost and didn't know how to cross the street, also his leg was hurt, he was limping, so I went there to help. But he didn't allow me to get closer and started running fast from me. I noticed other people were trying to catch him by offering some food without success. Then a lasy stopped her car and asked me if the dog was mine, and I said "No,…

⚠️ Warning: Long Silly (and probably nonsense) Love Story. DON'T READ IT. Keep on scrolling to another post. I just need to drain this somewhere ⚠️ (😂) What is the craziest, silly thing you've ever done for someone you had a crush on? This morning I had the best of surprises when I was at the store. I met a friend from college, it has been almost four years since I last saw him in person (I remember it was November 21st 2017, Student's Day). I mean, I've always kept contact…

🇷🇺 Hello, Lingo Noisers! I was looking for an old tweet and I found these other tweets from the time when I started learning russian. And I wanted to show what I did to learn cyrillic alphabet: I pasted all the letters on my keyboard and started tweeting as I usually do, but in russian. I just had to change the keyboard language setup every time I needed it, using a shortcut. I remember it used to take me about THREE minutes to write a simple "Я хочу кофе с молоком" (I want…

Today it was "studio" afternoon. 🎤 I learned Avril Lavigne's new song "Bite me" and made some vocal recordings; the lyrics are full of mouthfuls, I must to say... And I love it!🎵 Now I'm going to read a little and then go to sleep. Sunday's over, guys! I wish you a Goodnight! (And to those of you who are waking up: Have a nice monday full of coffee! ☕️) #english #wemakenoise

Today's weather surprised up with lots of rain after several hot weeks. It was an active and productive day though I didn't even moved from my computer but to fix a cable that almost got on fire in the kitchen (I can't say the same about the light bulb, 'cause it DID burned out). Then later, I was going to bed when I got TWO messages. The first one, it's about a job opportunity I was expecting; and the second one it was a reminder of an online conference I signed up for a…

Hello, noisers! Today I get my 𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙤𝙙𝙚 🧠 fully activated for this weekend. I will spend the next three days learning about productivity tools, design prototype technniques and a new programming language (new for me). I got my coffee cup, so lets get started! 🔥 ✌️

𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 3 Goals proudly achieved.✌️ 6 cups of coffee and lots of water. And I still have energy to come post it here. 😂 Everything I learned this weekend will allow me to write better content for Noise —especially for #LingoNoise— and it is also a big step on my career and projects. By the way, I also learned that I URGENTLY need to buy a 2 GB RAM and my blue light filter lenses! So, that's it. My learning weekend is over, but my 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙠 starts tomorrow!…
