Workshop in San Antonio, TX.

I visited San Antonio, Texas from August 9-13, for a Workshop in BTOP; a state-of-the-art PC Lab I’m helping to set for my new employer. A great project, unique in this field and the best part, it’ll provide great and much needed services to the community I serve.

I was so impressed by the River Walk, with all those wonderful smelling grills, which makes it quite a difficult decision having to choose where to dine.

I’d love to live there just because of this incredible sight!

Spain wins its first World Cup!

Exactly a month ago,we were wondering this outcome. Spain came into this tournament as the favorite squad to win it all; and, they haven’t disappointed. They’re World Cup Champions for the first time in their history. Two years ago, I watched them win the Euro-Cup, two years later I cried again when I saw them pick up the World Cup in 2010. Well deserved, at last!

Saying farewell to two of my classes.

Today, I have said good-bye to my morning classes. It’s been really hard.

This is the first time in my life I feel really happy doing any job. I love these classes. I’ve gotten such instant gratification on a daily basis; and today, I was given an incredibly inspirational speech by one of my students. It was almost surreal.

Thank you very much to all of you who made it such a pleasure to be part of your lives. You have also touched my life!

I will miss you and I shall never forget you all!

Julio Iglesias at the Count Basie Theatre in NJ.

Julio Iglesias gave a magnificent performance at the Count Basie Theatre in the Red Bank of New Jersey.

I was sitting in the 4th row, really close to Julio.

The show included three female singers and Tango dancers.

He entertained the audience who packed this fully refurbished facility. Some 1,500 of us applauded the most important and celebrated Hispanic singer in the world.

He joked around saying something like: “You know, I’m now 47. Ok, ok, 51… [laughter] Ok, what I’m trying to say is that when I was very young; just a couple of years ago. I used to make love before the show so I would provide a great show; the problem now is, unfortunately, if I make love before the show, I cannot make the show. So, basically today, I make love while I make the show, and you pay me for it.

You Americans have everything. In Ukraine for example, there are only Ukrainians, but around here, everybody comes form somewhere else”

What an incredibly amazing coincidence that he chose to talk about Ukraine when he could’ve talked about any other country. I attended the show with my Ukrainian girlfriend who enjoyed the show as much as I did.

Julio continues to be as good as he ever was and has always been. He’s absolutely the best!
