An unexpected Friday. Hello people from the world. I just want to write about my last week which starts on monday morning with my boss saying "Good day Young man, did you notice it's 8:10? (I suppose to arrive to work at 8 o'clock) , then I saw him and said to him "Sorry I lost my bus and It's just ten minutes". I sat down and check my email for something interesting, but nothing. The same people saying same stupid and repetitive things like "Hello, I need you to do this task that I cannot to do but you are good enough" or "Hello, There are troubles with some server or some app" (troubles easily repairable but It seems like people are happy with me fixing their troubles). Finally my week ends on friday afternoon. I bought a pack of chocolate cookies and I decided to walk without course. Suddenly my phone rang, It was an unknown number on the screen. I said "alo" (It's the way people in my country answer phone calls). It was an Amazon recruiter asking me for an interview in english in that moment. I just got panic but I said, "It's alright, give a few minutes I'll go to a coffe shop because I'm in middle of the street", then the recruiter said "Ok I'll call you in a few minutes". Few minutes later the recruiter call me and she told me about job position, benefits , salary and other amazing things (It was amazing because I could understand at least 90% of what she told me). I said It's an awesome opportunity and I would be happy to be part of the process". She asked me some technical qustions about servers, cloud, coding and other common topics in my job. I answered each question and she told me "Ok, you are approved for second interview, please check you email frequently for a face to face interview next week" and the phone call ends. Now I am really anxious and excited about next week. Greeting from Colombia.

My english Hello I'm an English learner and I have been working on my English skills for a while. In this entry I would like to share some of my daily habits in English to keep improving. I already know that my English is not perfect but I know that my English has been improving for a lot of reason, for example on my job I can read all documentation without a dictionary or I can watch a full Simpson episode in English without losing anything. All started when I lose a job opportunity on a big company because my English. Since then I have been changing my environment to make English part of my day for example; My TV is in English caption and English language, My favorite music is in English even on the radio I usually listen protocol radio with Nicky Romero by the way an amazing DJ and I have some friends around the world to chat. An Italki I appreciate your corrections and advice to keep improving. Greetings from Colombia.

I pass my first Oracle certification exam Hello to all I did study a lot of time and a lot of material just because a month ago I lost my job in the oil and gas field by third time and it is imperious to get other job as soon as is possible. After two months of hard study I decide to pay the exam fee and take it. I was pretty afraid because that was my first Oracle exam and I didn´t want to lost my money or the time. I did click on the begin button and the time started to run (120 minutes), the first questions were easy and similar to those that I did study, after that I saw a couple harder but my knowledge was enough to complete it. I finished the test with thirty minutes to spare to review my answers. The time was over and a message told me "you will receive your results in thirty minutes by email". Those were the longest minutes ever. But finally I passed my first Oracle exam the 1Z0-061 the first exam to be an IT engineer in the databases field with 90% of score.

Awkward conversations with english pals I have found a lot of friends on Italki curiously the majority are from Europe and Asia just a couple from united states (I'm from Colombia)... Since the last week I have been talking with my english pals more often because I got a free time from my job. On my conversations I have found a pattern, Each time I said I'm 28, the second question was "How many children do you have?" or "are you married?" my answer each time was the same "I'm going to be single for ever" after that I felt people angry or awkward about me. I really didn't understand what happened because my english pals are around my age. I think this life choice is fine even sensible... Now I prefer to keep the topic of children or marriage out of the table just because my goal is to find friends and not get into controversy.

My new style life Hello all, I would like to share something from my past. All my childwood I was a fat boy. I used to eat all weeks at McDonals or in kentucky fried chicken (The food is delicious but not for all days), when I was at home I used to eat pizza while I watched TV. I used to think that vegetables were for rabbits and the water for plants but the things changes with the time. One day my friends invited me to a pool for passing the summer. It was really awkward because all my friends had muscles and they can swim fast and do a lot of things that I couldn't do. The girls never looked at me as a man just like a friend, all that things makes me change my life style. Nowadays I am a different man. I do exercise six times at week. I eat healthy and I got my owm muscles jajaja also I have dates regularly. A new life style is possible just if you wanna change. Greetings from Colombia

An amazing girl from internet I have been chating with a girl that I knew online in a chat from my country. This girl was awesome from the beginning because we got a lot of things in common that hardly I could find in other girls. For example Maria(Nick name) likes to play video games, she likes to drink beers and listening rock also she likes to dance and hang out with friends. On our first date out of the computer she seemed really cute. We watched a movie and we ate ice cream. On second date we became in a couple and we started dating... Seems like I'm going to have a happy Valentine's day this february.
