• Report # 952

  Hey everyone, I hope that you’ve all had a wonderful weekend and a great start to the week. On Friday morning I went to the migration place and I met the lady from Teleperformance there and showed her a from that I needed signed. She told me she wasn’t the legal representative for the company, so she was unable to sign my forms. However I gave her the forms and my job offer letter as it is the job of the company to hand all of that stuff in.

  I really hope that the stuff was passed on to the other lady and that it was signed and delivered today. I will definitely be calling tomorrow to find out if this was all done. I then will have to try and find out how long the authorization process will take, but seeing as it’s already the 17th, I think it would be pretty unlikely to receive the authorization before Christmas, so I’m thinking that I’ll probably be spending Christmas in Mexico. It’s a bit frustrating so slow the whole process has been going, and while each day I was making a little progress, never as much progress was made as I thought could have been made.

  Afterwards I took a bus over to the San Agustin mall and I had something to eat at IHOP. I then walked around the mall for a while and waited for the movie theatre to open to see The Hobbit. Now I’m not a geek when it comes to these types of movies, but I enjoy them. I did see some people who totally fit the image of Lord of the Rings fanatics though… a guy with a ponytail and his girlfriend wearing combat boots ! I enjoyed the movie though it was super long.

  I got into the cinema after 1:00 pm and I didn’t leave until after 4:00 pm, so it was definitely one of the longest movies that I had seen before. I guess it’s just going to be like Lord of the Rings with another two movies coming up so looks like everyone will have to wait to find out the real ending. Afterwards I purchased a frappuichino from the movie theatre, but it was made so poorly that it was basically chocolate milk. I should have complained, but I didn’t bother and just headed out and took the bus home.

  I went for a run on Saturday morning at Fundidora Park. After finishing I saw so many people getting ready for a race. I would definitely like to register for some more races in the future, and I’m sure Fundidora Park has a lot throughout the year. I headed home and had a shower after and then I walked up to the mall and had a frappuichino from Starbucks, and picked up a pizza and some spaghetti. I headed home and ate and relaxed the rest of the day until I made the very stupid decision to go to 7 Eleven a little after 9:00 pm.

  This decision ended up costing me big time, though I didn’t know just how much at the time. I had a hot dog and a chocolate milkshake type drink and while I didn’t feel so bad after eating that, I woke up throughout the night and I was throwing up. I threw up a couple of more times in the morning and the last time at just after 12:00 pm on Sunday afternoon. I think I finally paid the price for eating so much garbage. It didn’t help that I chose to eat kind of late, but the truth is that this had been coming to me for a while.

  I had to meet a friend at Fundidora Park on Friday at 12:00 pm, though I really didn’t feel good. I threw up the last time just shortly before she and her sister arrived and then I was well enough to walk through the park and along the Santa Lucía Riverwalk. It was definitely one of the hotter days this month as it got up to around 29 C (84 F) I did my best to act like I was feeling fine, as I had a mango smoothie.

  We talked through the downtown part of the city and stoppd at a cafeteria, though I just had a bottle of water from there as I really didn’t have any desire to eat anything. After stopping at the cafeteria we all got into a taxi and I got out by the metro station closest to my house and headed home and then lied down and slept for about two hours from 3:30 pm until 5:30 pm. I didn’t feel too much better after, and in the evening I went through periods of feeling super cold and then super hot.

  My parents forgot to get on skype to talk at 8:00 pm, though they did come on after 9:30 pm. For some reason the connection was working so bad and they couldn’t hear me very well, so we will have another skype call on Wednesday evening. I forgot I was supposed to have a skype call with my aunt and grandmother this morning, though I will sent her an email and try to schedule one for Wednesday morning. I still haven’t felt great today, but I’m definitely feeling a lot better than yesterday.

  I met another friend at Fundidora Park and we walked through the park and the central part of the city and then we took a bus to a part of the city where she lives that I hadn’t explored too much. We had lunch at Super Salads and after we went to Cinépolis to watch The Hobbit. I really believe this was the first time in my life that I had seen the same movie two times in the theatre. I didn’t mind as it’s a good movie, though I definitely don’t want to see it a third time !

  I took the bus home in the evening and now here I am typing this up. I think that’s about all I have for today, so for the next question:

  Have you ever gone to see the same movie twice in theatres before ? Which one(s) ?

  I will leave you all with some pictures from a very cool and cloudy day walking through San Pedro. Take care and I’ll talk to you all on Thursday, bye for now.
