WE NEVER KNOW WHAT THE PAST PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE

Vitezi belega volka  (Promotional Video) 

 
Yeah, here I am, again. Enjoying the life, doing whatever I want, writting this lines inside the bar of Mladinski Center Celje, with a white coffe (Belo Kavo prosim...) because outside there's already -6ºC, good weather for wear short pants if we take in consideration the Slovenian winter: temperatures can arrive around -20ºC. =)

In a few hours I'll be in Croatia, close to Zagreb, with Vitezi belega volka (middle age group, they are amazing, they fight with swords and armors that weight around 5 to 15kg or maybe more, great people, and also, they start to make a fire group and I'm really illusionated about that, gremo gremo, fire fire!)

This weekend we are going to participate in a big battle field of knights, if I didn't understand wrong, around 200 people are going to take part in that event. Close to Zagreb, food, sleep and show guaranteed...

I'm really excited about this, because never I've been in Zagreb and also because, now starts a new circle in my life, new doors are opened, a new world it's going to appear in front of my eyes, and at this time I'm not feeling alone, in this uncertainly way I'm walking with others and the big shit is that I already jump and now I don't know how to stop this =)
Also there's something true about everyone of us: CAMINAREMOS POR SENDEROS QUE NO IMAGINAMOS (we are going to walk by paths that we never imagine before...)

Also if I didn't understand wrong, tomorrow I'm going to participate in my first fight with swords, sure they will kill me the first, but anyway, it's gonna be a good day for die!



A otra cosa mariposa,  last week, exactly yesterday after work, we had a lunch meeting with friends and EVS people in Slovenske Konjice, remembering old times (well not so old, but the EVS life seems that happened long time) only four months, but ¡me cago en la puta, qué lejos que queda!

We had a good time and good conversations, at the end this is the most important, enjoy all the moments, thank you guys! See you next time!

What else, oh yeah, one step ahead, I've found new jobs, trainning kids in track and field (athletics) and one day per week adults, only for few months but, well, better it's that than nothing, in two months I will see what I'm gonna do, but for the moment, there is.

For all the people that it's following that lines, the international project that we are preparing in SRK Celje, still we are working in it, we got some.... setbacks, but we are trying to find new strategies and keep on working, the motivation didn't fall down, but after 4 months of meetings and really hard work, couldn't present the project, was quite hard for all of us... Next deadline in May.

 

See you soon?
Sure I will try to writte something about this weekend, and picture it. I hope will be epic!

Hey guys, don't give up!

ALREADY ONE YEAR...

Well, this weekend it's going to be my first year in Slovenija, one year far away from family, friends, work, university, my training tracks...

It has been a year full of emotions, with no middle terms, has been a year full of good and bad experiences, but over everything, has been a year that I have found myslef, although I suspect that I haven't found everything of myself, but sure I've found a lot.

I've found friends, I've found trip partners, I've found new challenges, new fears and also I started to face old ones. "Life it's a challenge..." This is what it's written in one bottle of water, and it's true but it's a challenge only if you want, If you are disposed to feel the emotions in their maximum expression. Only it's a challenge if you are disposed to go untill the end and follow your dreams even if somebody tell to you that you are crazy...

For me, even I'm really positive and omptymisthic, it's not easy be abroad, and less, start from "0", my mood all the time it's like a fair attraction, now it's up and then it's down, I'm circles, flips, curves... After the experience of EVS the life turns harder and, more... uncertain... I'd deceptions, dissappointments, but from every I learnt a lot.

Of course, I could come back and stay in Spain... But no... This is not my style I try to don't regret anything what I decided... Always I'm following my pulses and then I convert my life in a frenetic and intense experience... Maybe I'm wrong all the time, maybe I should come into the normal way, live a normal life, walk in the same direction that the others, but no, I want to see what will happen if I decided to follow my thoughts...


When I decided to start that... adventure? Trip? Searching of something...? I knew, that won't l be perfect and won't be full of bliss all the time, I knew what to expected from myself and also that sometimes I should put my... because the things won't follow the plan, if ever I had one.

A part of following my dreams I'm trying to find my place, I'm looking up for that place that I will feel like home... Every day I'm closer I know, but before arrive the day I have a lot to do.

I achieved new jobs, new style life and new projects for my future. I like the situation that I'm living, permit me to have open mind easly, be more creative all the time and that feeling of outsider it's one of the best and worst things that ever happen to me!

"SOMNITIMES" HAPPEN before to end the year...

SOMNITIMES HAppen you are walking trhought the street and the police decided to stopped you and check if you are the guy who somebody saw in the door of the supermarket asking for a money. Also SOMNITIMES happen you answer to that, of course I don't have anything else to do but for the only thing that I would ask is for work. SOMNITIMES happen this s****** policeman is advising you wich is the best place to go, he is stupid, this not SOMNITIMES happen, ALWAYS HAPPEN.

SOMNITIMES happen  you feel weak and with no energy, but then also if you did you homework and you are trained SOMNITIMES happen the voice of your conscience say to you, you already decided for that, you already knew what you will have to face some day, and SOMNITIMES happen you listen that voice and decided to go ahead even you are not in the best moment, 'cause SOMNITIMES happen you know that everything it's gonna be all right, and you will find your way, this ups and downs ALWAYS HAPPEN.

SOMNITIMES happen you must be pacient, if something have to be, will be, if not don't worry, make it easy is the most difficult thing. But ALWAYS HAPPEN you might try and do your best.

SOMNITIMES happen before to end the year, you recieved such a bad notice and you decided to stay home SOMNITIMES happen that you recieved a unexpected call from the last person that you will expect and invite to you and his friends to distract your mind, this not ALWAYS HAPPEN, but never we walk alone, this ALWAYS HAPPEN.

SOMNITIMES happen you want to end your year practising sport, and ALWAYS HAPPEN you did, of course with efford.

AND NOW, i DON'T know what SOMNITIMES happen, I'm really interested about what it's going to occur in my life, of course, I won't do empty promises and wishes for 2013, only work hard in my projects, health and bliss for everyone....

But yes, SOMNITIMES happen you also start the year doing what you love, practising sport, here the pictures from the swim on the river SAVINIJA 1st of Jannuary, with a lot of crazy people and more members of SRK Celje

ULTIMOS DÍAS DEL AÑO

Bueno y seguimos a lo nuestro, hoy se ha puesto a nevar otra vez, hemos bajado a -4ºC y me siento muy perezoso...

Esta semana la estoy cerrando mucho mejor, porque la semana pasada estuve al límite del derrumbe físico (literalmente), demasiados entrenaminentos, muzanda al búnker, nuevas notícias, reuniones... pero parece que poco a poco mi cuerpo va asimilando este estrés y también la alimentación, me he decidido por controlarla un poco más y mejor, asi que voy ascendiendo "sin prisa pero sin pausa".

Si el mundo no se acaba se preveen unos días un poco complicados, compromisos sociales, menos trabajo debido a las vacaciones, más entrenamientos... En resumen, van a ser unos días moviditos, espero que para todos vaya a ser lo mismo y para los que tengáis objetivos en mente, no os desviéis mucho del camino o la vuelta a los entrenamientos ¡Váis a querer morir!

Qué puedo decir... Oh si, tengo una bici de ensueño, es más vieja que yo, 30 añitos ni más ni menos, marca puramente Eslovena y va fina como la seda, espero poder ahorrar un poco y convertirla en fixie con plato de 53 jaja. El cuenta quilómetros es de aguja, con estilo racing, muchos de vosotros seguro que no los conocéis, yo tampoco, aunque no me resultó nada extraño cuando la conseguí gratis. Pesa una tonelada y media y rodando al límite cada día... Cuando pille la de carretera...¡Voy a volar! Aquí van unas pics:

A parte de rodar en bici cada día, con el ojo puesto en la temporada de triatlón que empieza, trabajo duro cada clase de spinning. Me dejo la piel en ella y si es necesario se baila gangan style en mitad de la sesión! Fue genial! Estoy orgulloso de trabajar muy duro porque después tiene su recompensa, al final de la clase siempre hay algun alumno que literalmente ha flotado y te lo viene a agradecer. Pues para eso estoy, trabajo para ellos, para darles en una hora algo especial, que les haga sentir diferentes y además hacer un entrenamiento duro. Pagan por algo, ¿no?

Christmas training

Mañana me toca una sesión de demostración de spinning y tengo que prepararme la clase aún... Buff que desastre que soy...

Hay un montón de proyectos abiertos, algunos de ellos los hemos empezado a trabajar junto con Sandi, otros... tengo que esperar a que pase fin de año y otros pues estamos en ellos sin embargo no podemos coincidir pero lo conseguiremos ¡gremo Keglo y Sabrina!

Lep posdrav 
Srečno novo leto 2013

SNOW TIME...

...it seems that in Slovenija, the christmas already has landed, everything it's white, and also cold... Really, I'm not use to that weather, but anyway I will survive! The christmas lights are working and the people start to buy presents, you can drink cook wine and eat goulaz (it's f**** good meal!), and you can smell in the air the winter holidays are close... Yeaaaah!

Last Sunday, 9th of December, we went with the triathlon club to Velenje, to participate in Sta. Barbara's relay race, 3.3k, was a snow cross, I think it's the best word to describe that race. the teams were formed by 4 members.
We had a sunny day and was a great party! For me was the first run after 3 weeks without runnning and I enjoyed a lot.

I met a lot of people from my European Volunteer experience in Sl. Konjice, the coach that taught me during these 9 months, the president of the Athletic School, and also some great athletes that I had the pleasure to met and worked a little with them also in these experience... Was nice to see all of you again!

What more can I say...? I don't know, I'm having a great time in Slovenija and everything it's starting to move ahead, so... In few days I hope I will start to have my own routines and miss the free time! :)

The big big family

Se vidimo!

AFTER ONE BIG STEP...

And here I am again... Slovenija, a nice country for live. Small and extrem in all his senses. Slovenija is a contrasts country without any doubt.

What am I doing here? This question round in my mind every night, before to fall asleep... And the answer is simple, following my dreams... I think I am one of the luckiest persons in the world.

Sometimes I think about I'm a young victim for the economic crisis, in a little part it is true: I went to other country, one year ago, but when I went to my country I wasn't wanted to stay there, I wanted to work for grow as a person, open my mind, open new doors.

All my known tell me this: "every start is hard" and they are right, I'm feeling really lost all the time, even know the country and some people that they are helping me a lot, it's still hard.
I don't know how can I payback all the help that I'm recieving, because they are making my introduction in Slovenia life easier. I want to thank all of them.

For the moment I found some flat in Celje, cheap place and confortable, my house owner will be a old man of 60 years old, he doesn't speak English, good challenge, I will learn Slovene faster than I thought. Also I can be stay concentrated in my work, learnings and trainnings. A lot of new challenges are comming, I'm sure.

"Simple, because I'm following my dreams. And I'm excited about that!"

THE LASTS MOMENTS IN SLOVENIJA

Después de unos meses, esto toca a su fín. La verdad una gran experiencia a la que quiero invitar a todo el mundo a seguir... Imaginar si me ha gustado que no quiero volver. No me voy a poner a escribir lloriquerías pues este post va sobre los últimos eventos en los que he participado.

SPINNING(r) Halloween marathon 2h non'STOP

Al final conseguimos organizar algo con cara y ojos y mereció la pena la cantidad de días comiendo mal, durmiendo poco, estresado perdido para llegar a culminar con un evento que dejó a todos boquiabiertos y que todo el mundo disfrutó, tanto los que pedaleaban con nosotros como los que estaban fuera mirando.
Aquí el vídeo resumen

SPINNING(r) Halloween


Fire Show en ZooLand en Slovenske Konjice

El 30 y 31 de octubre fuimos contratados como compañía de fuego para amenizar la noche en el ZOO infantil en Slovenske Konjice. Hicimos 2 shows de fuego en el primero tuvimos alrededor de 70 personas, en el segundo bajamos a 30. Subidón de adrenalina, quemadas y chamuscadas de pelo! Nuestro primer evento y esperamos que en el futuro hayan muchos más en diferentes países.
Aquí enlazo el video y dejo alguna foto.
