The Shack

This is the book from this month, The Shack written by William P. Young.

I was reading some singer’s post about how she found this book, that it wasn’t religious like “forcing you to believe in god” religious, and i got interested, so i went to the library and i realized that it was a number one book on the new york times, and i really like the majority of the book’s that they recommend (i love Roberto bolaño or Haruki Murakami for example) so i was more exited about it now and i bought it and i was so happy…

I read the book let’s say in one day, and it really didn’t impressed me that much. I am not trying to say that the book is not good because for some reason everybody seemed to like it, but for me it wasn’t enough (i am just giving an opinion based on the fiction story)

Now on the other hand, this book is really good for people who like to have faith , like to have a reason to live, and are very open minded too. Why do i say this? This book is totally away from church things, so you can learn a lot on how to start living a peaceful life and feel happy about everything, and i really mean EVERYTHING in your life.

So that’s why i put it here on the book of the month, co’s it wasn’t enough for me, but every single person is different right? so maybe you are going to love it. And easy going book, very simple to read and understand, you can learn a lot about it if you think deeply and i totally recommend it as a gift now that christmas is coming.

Russian Hamster

My mother, is always wining about how much she wants to have a little dog. A chihuahua let’s say, because all other dogs are big, trust me, they are small in the pet shop because they have like 1 month yet but the guy who wants to sell you the dog will always say that they don’t grow up so much, and 5 months later you have a huge dog in your apartment. So the thing is, that we went to the pet shop AGAIN, to watch the dogs, and while i was watching some other stuff i saw this beautiful hamsters cage, it was all plastic and the colors were amazing, some sort of electric blue and fluorescent yellow. So… i kept thinking about that cage all day long and i saw this beautiful hamsters. Why so beautiful? because they were small because they are russian hamsters, the thing that my mom wants, a smaaaall pet. And obviously, i watched her and said “mom, why don’t you buy one of this hamsters…they are very small, you can carry them in your bag like you want to” she laughed, because she doesn’t like  hamsters she didn’t liked Chihuahuas too but one day she started to like them so we were watching them and I kind of liked them. So i don’t know wich day i am going to go, but i will do it and i will buy the cage and two hamsters. After all the things that have happened, i think i deserve a gift. My birthday is coming! OH, and my boyfriend got an I-PHONE, OMG he is going to be so popularrrr haha, just kidding.

I went to an airline interview again. This time, i was absolutely prepared, i have to tell you, that the interviews there are with two psychologists who test you with: Zulliger test, tree test, person under the rain test, pressure test’s. So, i have my lovely psychologist cousin who told me what to do and how to do it (remember the story of the coffee shop interview that i had before, and they called me, yes that sort of thing) So, it’s really silly when this bitch girl says to us, “remember we told you what we needed” so that’s why only 8 persons of sixty made it to the second interview. What they needed was a kind smile, public service vocation, outgoing personality , blah blah. So i remember one of the guys who made it to the second interview. He stood up on front, said his name, said he was an engineer, then he remain silent, then he said i am from (some city) and then that was it. That was his presentation, and when  we had to wait outside, he never talked to anyone. So, why did he got the job? can you explain me that?

So, it didn’t make any sense to me , as if i go to a mathematics test and i have all the answers and then i don’t approve. Thats the way i felt when i did everything on those tests, all the time i make pressure tests i get the “advanced” kind of brain and also what i hate the most, the thing that most made me feel like shit bad was that, while we were waiting the answer, one guy out of nowhere said to me, “this girl is going to get the job” and the girls said “yes, i loved your presentation ,i remember it” and on the past interview , a lady said to me the same thing can you believe it? she looked at me and said “i tought you were going to make it” so weird.

So this is not a hater letter even tough it sounds like one, but i really think, why in my country they make this tests first i mean i totally respect psychologists and i love them because my cousin teaches me all the things and they are very interesting, but why don’t do it backwards? why don’t you first take the time to know the person, see if they smile, see if they are polite, kind, outgoing. Why don’t first put them on hard situations, pressure stuff, see if they can do it, and then, see if they are psychopaths and stuff. I feel disappointed about the company’s and the way they hire people. One psychiatrist that looked at my IQ test , said to me “why are you here? you are not going to like this job, you are way to intelligent to work as a flight attendant, you have to go to the university” and i said “how can you and i say that, if i have never been a flight attendant before” and she kept saying “no, no, blah blah” i really hated her. So, why do you have the policy of NOT SAYING WHY YOU DIDN’T MADE IT. I understand, it takes a lot of time, and time is money. But don’t you think, really, don’t you think you are wasting good people’s time either?

So if i convinced some random persons about how great i was , really, i will keep going to interviews and i am going to get that job. Seriously i will…

I feel very rare…

So guys , so many things have happened in such a short time, all my family is here now and we’ve had a great time, but on saturday they will leave. My cousin Muriel is also here.. she is like my sister co’s we share a lot of things and we really like each other not like those fake brothers who don’t know anything about you , or your boyfriend, or your life. So we were talking the other day about how much we don’t see each other working on the careers we are studying now, administration and safety. So, i asked her what about going in a cruiser. She explained to me she didn’t have any idea of how to do that. So we searched on the net, and we found the office of the persons who hire people for cruisers here. The name of the CEO is Tulio Hernández and the web page is www.crucerostms.cl . So we made a resume and we went there, they received it and she asked a lot of questions so she was kind of, getting in a better mood. As far as me… well , nothing happened untill today i went to the Emirates Group Careers page and guess what iv’e found. An assessment day in Mar del plata, Argentina. So Argentina is very very close and i am already checking the prices of flights to go over there . I want some airline to call me tough.

Karaoke night!

It’s very late but tonight we had the most fun karaoke ever, it was with my boyfriend’s friend and we had a great time. My troath is killing me hurts a lot but wathever haha. Also we are on holidays now so no job call or anything yet. My cousin said that my resume was awesome ugly , so did my boyfriend so they will make me a new one and hopefully that will work to be a flight attendant. Also i decided i want to buy a lot of anime things , so i bought a hello kitty wallet wich is this one

I am very tired happy, today i went to the interview, the psychologist was very young!! and he was very nice. So we were about 7 girls and 1 boy and we had to present ourselves, so everyone talked crap and then the famous “person” and “person under the rain” drawings came up. So i have to say that, i cheated have a cousin who happens to be a crazy psychologist and, she did not say to me how to draw the persons. Days before i draw her those things and she said ok you have a lot of problems kid have to do this better blah blah. So i had an idea of  how to make the useless drawings and , if the girl calls me that means that i am a very lucky person did them good. If she doesn’t call me, i’ll better go to the pshychiatrist some drawing classes before i go to another interview.
