Ya punto com y de cómo darse de baja ya no es una Odisea
Este post se merece ser escrito en castellano pues nos concierne a todos aquellos que hemos, somos o estamos pensando ser clientes de ya.com.
Después de acojonarme al leer los casos y casos de personas que han tenido que pagar a ya.com aún habiéndose dado de baja, de personas que pidieron la baja y no se la tramitaron, de personas que han tenido que mandar burofaxes y cartas certificadas para poder darse de baja...
Resulta que llamo al 902 052 192 (no hay alternativo, lo siento y el horario es de lunes a viernes de 8 a 22h) les digo que me quiero dar de baja el día 8 de enero de 2009 y me dicen que como mi periodo de facturación es de 15 a 15 de cada mes, el 15 de este mismo enero me darán de baja y no se me pasará ninguna factura más.
El día 10 de enero ya me dejó de funcionar la línea.
Hoy 12 he llamado al 902 902 902 (912 910 520 de lunes a viernes de 9 a 22h) y me han dicho que ciertamente ya estaba dado de baja el servicio de internet, que es normal que un par de días antes de que se cierre el ciclo de facturación retiren el servicio y que ya estoy dada de baja en su servicio de facturación por lo que no debieran mandarme ya ningún recibo.
Ahora sólo me queda esperar a que sea ciero o despertar porque suena el despertador...
Yo sólo no los recomiendo porque si te quedas sin conexión o tienes problemas durante el fin de semana, nadie te atiende. Por contra he de decir que no es que me pueda quejar, pero creo que si tuviera que hacer de nuevo todo... elegiría telefónica.
Pero eso se acabó :P me voy a un lugar donde no están en el neolítico de las conexiones a internet :P

Tradition: Twelve grapes
This year I was asked why the tradition of the twelve grapes, so I decided to search information about it to know also myself, such a shame :P So I went to wikipedia and this is what I found:
The Twelve Grapes (Sp. Las doce uvas de la suerte, "The twelve grapes of luck") is a Spanish tradition since 1909. In December of that year, some alicantese vine growers came up with it to better sell huge amounts of grapes from an excellent harvest.
The tradition consists in eating a grape with each bell strike at midnight of December 31. According to the tradition, that leads to a year of prosperity. Each grape is eaten with each beat of the bell. After the 12th strike everyone should have eaten all their 12 grapes, although this seldom happens due to its difficulty.
The twelve grapes are linked to the Puerta del Sol tower clock, where this tradition started and from where the change of year is always broadcast.
This tradition was adopted also by places with a broad cultural relation with Spain such as Mexico, Hispanic communities in United States, other Latin American countries and as far as the Philippines.

This system is hopeless
When you see this kind of things you end up to this conclusions. With "this" I am refearing myself to something that happened in my town. My mom was in the local council, representing the town with the PSN (PSOE). Everything went fine, everybody was happy with her because she was different: "more social than politic".
There came the moment to disagree with the PSN team in one decision, in one vote. The issue of the Bardenas and the army training with bombs there. All the people in Tudela is more than tired of all of this. They were like 50 years for now and now the contract is ending. The local council had to decide what to do: we let them continue for another 20 years? we say no?
My mom, like the rest of the people from Tudela, is against the army throwing bombs there. BUT! PSN, from Pamplona and Madrid, decided their position about that issue would be to let them continue for another 20 years more. The problem is, when they wanted to win the elections in Tudela, the PSN declared that they were against that topic.
My mom was forced to vote "yes" so after that she left the PSN but not the local council.
Now the PSN is asking her to leave the local council so they can put another PSN person in her place, probably a person that can obey them forgetting the own conscience.
But you can read all the comments that actually are by her side, but she is not a good politician, she is a social worker and fighter. She made them look at themselves in a mirror and they didn't like what they saw. So, they ask her to leave so they can forget what they are: cowards. Because she is not the only one against the issue of Bardenas in the PSN. We all have seen them march in a demonstration each year against that topic, now silently agree with what they are told to do.

Sad but true
Is really sad the truth that we are living in this country. The average spanish person doesn't talk english at all. We have a very big problem, that is the fear to fail, the shame to be ridiculous.
And of course the english that we learn is not spoken english, we learn a little grammar and how to pass the exams. I don't know how it is in the language schools but what I see, what I have experimented myself is what I say. We don't learn how to express ourselves in english.
The thing is that in some companies the english sometimes is required. And is so sad when you hear someone trying to talk in english with a client.
I have just heard someone saying "imaje" like you read it in spanish to a client.
I don't know what will happen with the bilingual school students, but as far as I am concerned they don't work with the accent so much, I can see that in my sister, although it seems that she has a very good level but... she doesn't think in english, that's the problem, they have to teach that in a bilingual school, they should do that.
In other european countries you can easily find people talking to you in english when it is not their language at all.
The sad truth is that we don't speak languages.

WWZ: Are you prepared?
I think I have read about "The Zombie Survival Guide" worte by Max Brooks in Dkv's blog. Today I received an email from play.com with the last offers and I saw there the book of World War Z by Max Brooks. Then I started to search the ebooks in english and searching I have found in imdb that in 2010 they are going to make the movie "World War Z". As a Zombie fan I am I must read these books and see the movie even if it is the biggest shit on Earth :P
For now it seems only a project that Brad Pitt's producer, Plan B, is interested in.
But I hope they make another movie of zombies. After Romero, the Resident Evil series and the 28 series (I am waiting for 28 years later) what can I see about zombies??? Appart of that is truly shit. I have seen even movies I had to turn them off :D
This is the official website of the book. Enjoy!
By the way, you have to understand that I am a person that in a bar, in a building is searching for exits in the case a Zombie attack occurs to me... yes, I am insane and a crazy woman :P
I have heard that so many times I don't even try to deny it :)

Terminator Salvation
I didn't have any clue that this would ever happen... and in the case I would have guessed... I would not have thought that the T-800 would be Arnold Schwarzenegger no more.
Would be right to think that Hollywood has no new ideas anymore? Because we all are tired of the sequels and prequels, though we still go to see them (some of them to the cinemas :P I must admit).
Batman, I mean Bale, is everywhere now, he will be John Connor, so perhaps is a good movie againt all my prejudices.
