Time ago, I read a book called "Jesus of Nazareth: A man without equal" and then I saw a quote from a man named Phillip Schaff.
I will translate into Spanish. I love this quote, besides; I found more quotes about Jesus:
"Jesus of Nazareth, without money and arms, conquered more millions than Alexander the Great, Caesar, Mohammed, and Napoleon; without science and learning, he shed more light on things human and divine than all philosophers and scholars combined; without the eloquence of school, he spoke such words of life as were never spoken before or since, and produced effects which lie beyond the reach of orator or poet; without writing a single line, he set more pens in motion, and furnished themes for more sermons, orations, discussions, learned volumes, works of art, and songs of praise than the whole army of great men of ancient and modern times." –Philip Schaff
Jesús de Nazareth. Sin armas y sin dinero, conquistó muchos más millones que Alejandro Magno, César, Mahoma y Napoleón; Sin ciencia ni educación formal, él aportó más luz sobre las cosas humanas y divinas que todos los Filósofos y Eruditos juntos; Sin elocuencia académica, él habló palabras de vida como nunca antes se habían dicho, y produjo efectos que se extienden mas allá de cualquier orador o poeta; sin escribir una sola línea, él puso más plumas en movimiento, y ha sido tema para muchos sermones, debates, libros de enseñanza,, arte y las más dulces canciones de alabanza que todos los ejércitos y grandes hombres de los tiempos antiguos y modernos juntos”. -Phillip Schaff

Why Mexicans are late
This sunday, me and a friend of mine were driving to a party, probably it was around 12:20 am and we had to be there at 12:30, but i want to buy a notebook and i was little hungry for a kind of snack. And I knew that i'd be late, he noticed too. I am talking about that we always are late in parties, meetings and something like that. They have to tell us around one hour before the party start, and i can says that it is not about we are lazy or irresponsable, it is just because we like to have what we want. Maybe, one of you (not Mexican) would go to the party and would buy the notebook other day, a Mexican no, we go for the notebook and for the snack, and we goin to be late, and we have both things that we wanted.
there are tow parties, one at 3 and other one at 8:30, a "normal citizen" just will go to one party, a Mexican will go at 8:30 to one and then around 10 to the other one. But i am not saying all Mexican are like this, just most of us.
We always say: "Mas vale tarde que nunca" (It's better late than never be there"
The way you are
Today, i went to visit a friend of mine at Tech, it was about two weeks that i didn't see her, it was so fun spent the time with her. We spoke about us, how we met us, about the first time we tried to keep a conversation, i was surprised how she can remeber t, it was about a year and a half ago. Then, we start talking about our lifes, I told her about my feelings for her, she said that she feel some attractions too, but it can not be possible, no in our cases, nothing can be happen beetwen us. But we only talked about the chance that something could happen. Then, she told me that there is song that makes me reember me everytime she listen it. The song is called The way you are by Bruno Mars.
Oh her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day
Yeah I know, I know
When I compliment her
She wont believe me
And its so, its so
Sad to think she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look okay
I say
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
Her nails, her nails
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think its so sexy
She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day
Oh you know, you know, you know
Id never ask you to change
If perfect is what you're searching for
Then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking
If you look okay
You know I say
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
The way you are
The way you are
Girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
Oh her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day
Yeah I know, I know
When I compliment her
She wont believe me
And its so, its so
Sad to think she don't see what I see

Measuring the world just with rice
1 Rice = 1 Person
The creator of the unusual exposition use an idea pretty simple: one grain of rice for each person in this whole world. When visitors walk by the lobby, they can see piles of rice with different sizes that helps to visualize statistics about the world.
For example, one pile represents the demography of a country. Other pile is about children that will be born in this world in the next 24 hours. When we visualize the different sizes, it helps to see different proportions that we can’t see just with numbers.
Some of this piles shock our mind by its impact visual. One big pile represents the people died in the Holocaust. Other one, amazingly big, represents the children in the world with hungry. And this third one...
...Represent the children that will be die in the next 24 hours by malnutrition :/

"Mientras mas tiempo paso lejos de México, más Mexicano me siento." - Jorge Ramos
[While I am more time away from Mexico, I feel more Mexican]
Jorge Ramos is a Jornalist from Mexico. He lives in Miami. He works for Univision, an Hispanic Network. Jorge Ramos is an immigrant. He came to the United States as a student in 1983. In November 1986, at age 28, he became one of the youngest national news anchors in thehistory of American television. Since then, he has been called “the voice of the voiceless” for other immigrants like him.
Jorge Ramos has been called "Star newscaster of Hispanic TV" and "Hispanic TV's No. 1 ccorrespondent and key to a huge voting bloc" by The Wall Street Journal. Time magazine included him in the list of “the 25 most influential Hispanics in the United States”. So did People magazine . Latino Leaders magazine chose him as one of “The Ten Most Admired Latinos” and “101 Top Leaders of the Latino Community in the U.S.”
He is the author of ten books and bestsellers: “Behind the Mask”, “What I Saw”, “The
Other Face of America”, “Hunting the Lion”, his autobiography “No Borders: a Journalist’s Search for Home”, “The Latino Wave”, “Dying to Cross”, “The Gift of Time; Letters from a Father”, and the children’s book “I’m Just Like My Dad/I’m Just
Like My Mom” (HarperCollins) and “A Country for All; An Immigrant Manifesto”.
Ramos has been instrumental in promoting literacy among Latinos. In 2002 he created the first book club in the history of Hispanic television: Despierta Leyendo (Wake Up Reading).
From his childhood days in Mexico, to his experience of censorship in government–owned Mexican media companies, his student years in LA, and his early beginnings as a journalist in the USA, Ramos gives us a personal and touching account of his life.
He is my role model in Journalism.

Podcast
Imagine getting new “radio” style talk and music shows to listen to on your iPod or other MP3 player every day. You wake up and automatically have new shows ready to listen to while you exercise or commute to work. This is the podcast listening experience.
Not only that, but anyone can create his or her own “radio”style show and broadcast it to the world in very little time and at very little cost. All you need is a computer, a mic and the internet.
And this is kind of interesting, because you can be out of the traditional broadcasting radio that only play the music over and over again.
I am beggining with podcast, i have some followers from Mexico, it's kind of my first steps for Broadcasting radio.
Podcasters (as they are called) are not restricted by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission ) or traditional broadcast formats and regulations. This allows for numerous subjects and formats.
I am a fan and follower of Mario Filio Podcast.
