MY DAILY LIFE
Hi everyone,
How are you Anne and readers? I love the pictures of Joshua and Raquel. They look so nice and full of life. Are they very naughty? I admire you Anne for being able to do a lot of things and manage to take care of them.
I’m also having problems with internet access. I’m going to change my Internet Server Provider.
So I hit the nail on the head :- ) too when I mentioned about buying a new pair of training shoes (is it the same to say “trainers” or “runners”?).
I have to apologise to my godson because I forgot to tell his name. Juan Pablo (my godson) is a very kind person. He is very responsible and he has always been very mature.
He is working at an important Laboratory and at the same time manages to study Chemistry at the University. He is great!
Claudia is the same age as me. In fact our mothers were pregnant at the same time. I was born in February (but my mother gave birth on the 8º month of pregnancy) and Claudia in March.
When we were children we liked to put on the same items of clothing and pretend that we were twins. We had a lot of fun and now we always remember that epoch with a smile. We are really very close and share our experiences. She’s got a nine year old son named Nahuel and she works in an important office.
Celia is 3 years younger than us. She used to live round the corner of my house so we went to school together (in different grades). We would walk 4 blocks and chat a lot. We had a lot of fun and she always remember the fact that she never got bored when we played because I was always making up games. She has a seventeen year old son named Pablo and he is my second godson. Now we are very close and see each other regularly or talk by phone. She is an accountant and is working in a Television Studio office.
Some families don’t like to have a large one because of the arranged gatherings but we only gather when we want and really enjoy it very much.
Now I want to share my DAILY LIFE with all of you.
I get up at 7:30 am, have breakfast and leave at 8:40 am.
This is the view I have from my kitchen and breakfast room. They look to the South
This is the view I have from my living room and our bedroom. In fact I’m in the balcony taking this picture. It looks to the North.
This is the Avenue on where I live
I take the bus at the corner of my house.
You’ll laugh at me because actually I work 10 blocks from my house but in the morning I’m too lazy to walk. So I travel by bus 7 blocks and then walk 3 blocks.
This is a picture of my colleagues. From left to right, Mabel, Lidia and Esteban (he is studying Economics at the University). He took this picture with his digital camera. He is very anxious because this time tomorrow he’ll be in Rod Steward Concert. He’s been looking forward to this event since December and I hope it won’t rain tomorrow. I want to mention that he helped me very much with the attachment of these pictures. He reduced the size in order to be able to upload them. Thank you Esteban! Luckily we work in a friendly and informal atmosphere as you can see.
Then, at 1 pm I leave to have lunch. Here are two pictures of the place where I have lunch everyday. It’s a little shopping mall.
At 1:30 pm I come back to the office and work until 4 pm. On Tuesday and Fridays I go to the gym. Twice a month I try to have a yoga class. The other days I do all of the house tasks.
Anne, really I don’t know why the word “porteño/a” is used to name the people who live in Buenos Aires city but I promise to find out its origin.
By the way, could you all of you watch the video of Buenos Aires I attached in the previous blog?
Anne, I’m also interested in pictures of Thailand.
About the 5 mistakes on spelling that you wrote, here they are
1) pork steaks
2) plain boiled rice
3) garlic bread
4) mushrooms to the sauce
5) This sauce also works
Thanks to Ana Paula, Kuldeep, Mercè, Nahhed, Erika, Masood, Vladimir, Tanya and Ernesto for all of your comments. Keep writing, I love reading them and they encourage me to write.
I promise Anne and Readers to give you a list of most of the books I’ve read and the ones I liked more. I don’t want to make this blog longer.
Bye for now,
Cris

Hi Cris! What a wonderful view you have from your flat! Besides that, it was nice to know about your daily routine. By the way Cris, I could see the video that you´ve posted. Buenos Aires is an extremely beautiful city :-). See you tomorow, Ana Paula.
It's me! =) I am very happy that you are the bloger of the month It's a unique opportunity Take advantage of it! see you tomorrow at work best wishes! Esteban
Hi Cristina! It was interesting to see your photos of Buenos Aires. Especially, I like the first photo’s view. Buildings surrounded by greens looks harmonically. Not only live you in a nice corner of Buenos Aires, but also you are lucky to work so close to home in a such big city. I put at least one hour to go to my job in a city less then yours. Best wishes, Vlad.
Christina, thank you for sharing you daily life with us. You may have noticed that my comments have been missing. The reason for that is that I have been extremely busy, but I have been following the conversation. Best as always…
Hi Cris: I have enjoyed myself very much sharing with you a day of your life. Really you seems very happy with your work's colleagues and with your family, especially your two cousins. I'm curious about your work: what does it involve? I'll be very grateful if you explain it us. I'm looking forward to read your comments about books. As i have said in previous blogs, I love and love and love reading. That's all for now. Have a pretty day!!!! Mercè
Hi,cris I live a small town in the the UK.you might remember or have heard about a arthquate a few month ago in the UK.The inccident hit the national newsparer's headlines.Thank you for sharing some slice of your life with us. Have a wonderful day!
Hi, Cris! Your blog is nice. Thank you for it. The video of your city is great too! I wasn’t aware that Buenos Aires is looking so modern. I like it, especially theatre – it was wonderful to see that you have a ballet there. I didn’t read all Argentinean writers but I will try to find these books in English or in Russian. I followed your blog every day but my commentaries not appearing every time when I have written them, so it is not my fault. Best wishers to you and your family.
Good morning Cris!I'm really like your entries and the information which you're offring to us about your country.I also enjoy the video about boenos aires it attracts me to vivite Argentina.I wish i hade time to visit it next year,so i'd like to have some advice from you about the best time to be there?Spring or summer?best wishes Bye
Hi Cris! The view of your house was fabulous! There are plenty of trees around your place so I guess the air quality in your country may so clear? I also take the bus to go to school everyday! The bus in Hong Kong is different from your country, as it have 2 floors so it can take more people. I'm looking forward to your next blog, enjoy your day, Erika
Hello Cris. What a beautiful memories of you, Claudia and Celia as girls. When I was a kid, I often thought I can't wait to grow up and be an adult. But now, I look back over my shoulder and realize that those childhood days were the best of my life. Have a great weekend.
Hello Cristina, This time we have got the opportunity to have a look at two different views through the windows of your house, it's lovely. You must be enjoying these views early in the morning to breathe in fresh air and in the evening to unwind all the tiredness of the day. Thank you for the video which you provided us in your previous post, it was great. Best wishes, Naheed
Hi dear Cristina , Nice to hear about your two God son and Your close cousins Claudia & Celia . it's really good to have some one at your age in your family , some thing that I lack in my childhood . My younger sister and my cousin were for years younger than me and most of the time didn't let me to play with them and always it annoyed me a lot . Although , now after a long old fighting it's time for peace and my sister and I do well with each other and enjoy our company . I 'm a bit curious about your every day lunch , as you are really slim , is healthy food is provided in restaurants in your city ?By the way thanks for the photos of your house scene and your collegues . Send my hello to all of them . Hope to have a nice weekend and byeeee . Kisses
Hi Cristina. As the story goes on, it gives some food for thoughts. After introduction the closest friends of yours, the most interesting staff in this blog is your incredible short working day. You’re lucky to work only until 4 pm. To what extend such a short working day is common in Argentine? Good bye until next time.
Thanks for all your contributions. This blog has now closed and can no longer accept new comments.
