XMAS MONTH!! Dec 2nd

OH MY GOSH! I F'ing freezing and the cold hasn't started yet. I think I won't survive this winter, if I die please tell my family I love them.


Today began a mexican Teleton, for those who don't know what the heck is a teleton, let me explain. Teleton (in Mexico) is a foundation for disabled people, usually the first weekend of december they do an aired show on TV to collect founds. Last collecting record was over 400 million pesos. They have like 10 care centers around the country. It's a pretty cool organization. So, yay for them!

Also today is the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery, stablished by the UN back in 1986

Today is National Day in Laos and United Arab Emirats

But the most important thing.... It's the first weekend of the month, and you know you should do? Gather your friends, go buy some [insert your favorite drink (Coffee, Water, Vodka, Coke, wahtever is fine)] and go have some fun.

See you around!

Monday! Nov 7th

Almost everybody is bored today, because yesterday was Sunday, because there's nothing on the TV, some people like myself are sick, I caught the flu, so I went to see a doctor today, so yay for me I'm going to feel better in a week or so. Anyway, looks like it's a bored day around the world too, because the most important events are about Commemorations like Commemoration Day (The anniversary of Ben Ali's succession) in Tunisia, October Revolution Day in modern Russia, the National Revolution and Solidarity Day in Bangladesh and the National Day in Northern Catalonia (I need to get a map)

Maybe the whole world is still hungover because of Halloween... At least, I am. See you on Wednesday, looks like a pretty more intesting day.

Nov 1st - AAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNND..... We're back

Wow... It's been a very rough month. I hated this October... but we're now in November Hooray! 


Yesteday, HalloWIN was celebrated in many many countries around the world. And today is All Saints Day, you see, some people don't where does the word 'Halloween" comes from. Wikipedia says Halloween is a contraction of  All Hallow's Eve. an annual holiday observed around the world on October 31, the night preceding All Saints Day. Much like Day of the Dead celebrations. I don't want to dig more about Halloween's history because there are other holidays who deserve some attention too!


Apparently Vegans like to party, because guess what... It's World Vegan Day! (Yeah... Again) The Day was established in 1944 by Louise Wallis, then President & Chair of The Vegan Society UK. So... Yay for vegans!


In Mexico we present our respects with two days, the first one is today, Day of the Innocents where we mourn the loss of childs. Tomorrow's the second one, where older people get mourned.

Also, It's National Day in Algeria, so yay for them!
