Remember that episode of Friends when Rachel, Phoebe and Joey, tried to explain to Ross, Monica and Chandler that they didn’t have as much money as them, and they get dragged to this fancy restaurant and they can only order a salad and a glass of water. Because they always have to go “somewhere nice”. That’s how I feel! Not everywhere, of course, this usually happens to me in Singapore, Japan, Australia and Korea, because there…

Am I the only who’s tired of his clothes? Well, there are 7.000.000.000 people on this planet, what am I saying? Of course, I’m not the only one. The estimated time it takes me to get bored of my clothes is 2 to 3 months, so after that, I either stop wearing them or keep wearing them without feeling special anymore. I stop looking handsome and start looking dull on them. So then its easier…

Lately, I’ve been comparing my ideas to the ones I had 10 years ago and understanding why did I have them back then and why have they changed over the years. More specifically, I was thinking about the homeless: while growing up, I was taught to dislike if not hate the homeless, because they were not working. What? That’s it? Just because they were not working? They hadn’t done anything wrong to me or to…

Today I found, in my local currency, the equivalent to 20 dollars, and the first thing that came to my mind was: One free day! As that’s what I usually have to pay to live on this planet for one day, including rent and food. so when I found it, I was so grateful, because this day was for free. I had been exempted to pay existence tax for this day, so I could just relax…

This story starts in the fall of 2005, I had just moved from Rosario, to Buenos Aires and had to start supporting myself for the very first time. Thought it would be easy. It wasn’t. Of course. A month down the road, I had somehow managed to find a job but had miscalculated the remaining time before getting my first salary, so I didn’t have enough money to buy some food until I get paid and…

I have recently come to terms with the fact that its ok to answer “nothing” to the question “what do you do”. Most of my life everyone around me said: “Bruno, you have to do something, you have to be someone, you have to do this and that, you have to be this and that.” You are what you do, they said. Our jobs make us proud, gives us honor, makes us decent people, if…

Everyone’s talking about SOPA now! Let’s analyze this for 5 minutes.. if I steal your car, then you don’t have a car anymore, if I copy your car, then you still have your car and I have a car also. So how can copy something be made illegal? It seems we have redefined the word stealing to fit the economic interests of the 1% up there. They used to burn books now they close websites.…

Its hard to describe with words what i felt this morning at the clinic when one of my patients, after i finished patching him up, stood up, put his hand on my shoulder, looked at me in the eyes and said: “thanks for looking after me, and the other patients out there, you guys are doing a great job” he said that even though, i knew, he was in pain, and had been bleeding out…
