Shareable...., and surreal!!!!!

CPD -- "Continuous Professional Development" or "Compelling Predictable Delusions"....?
Great example of professionalism to follow !!! Shareable times
August 11, 2007 11:02 AM PDT
Even though I am an advocate of blogging, the lapse of time there is between postings in this blog clearly proves it's difficult to keep a periodic pace publishing. But there are times when momentous experiences urge your updating, when life comes up with the unexpected, which, either for the better or for the worse, is always the case. And there are also those turning points which you do not feel like making public, which you need to keep to yourself. Or maybe which you´d choose to put up in another kind of blog you have opened for yourself as a kind of diary to indulge in later in life. This one is the most shareable of all. The one I guess will be of more interest to readers, to colleagues, to friends. It's the least complex, the most factual, the lightest, the most enjoyable, perhaps. And certainly the happiest of all. I jotted down this entry as I watched 17 colleagues answer a Professional Development Test at Cultura. And I'll immediately post a more objective reflection on this day...
Still, there may also be a third layer of thoughts which are hiddenly stored inside. Those are the ones you only share with yourself, and only at times...., if ever. Those that you'd rather be thankful to forget.

After a very difficult selection I had to make of the photos taken in Seattle, I'm posting here a photostory I made up.
Incredible Seattle Experience
March 31, 2007 02:49 PM PDT
Incredible experience it really was..., meeting so many so-far-unseen friends f2f for the first time and sharing fun and meals and even a room! This album is powered by BubbleShare - Add to my blog January 30, 2007 05:45 AM PST
A PIPE DREAM COMING TRUE
December 17, 2006 07:17 AM PST
More than the kind of blog that all bloggers open to keep track of their everyday dreams and deeds, this one is the place I resort to when big emotions overwhelm me with joy... After around 5 years of meeting online, sharing opinions and ideas, experiences, findings and discussions, plus photos and voices..., many Webheads will be meeting at the TESOL Convention in Seattle, next March. Getting together with John, Vance, Tere, Nina, Leanne, Aiden, Tom Robb, and hopefully many others who are trying to make it from different parts of the world will certainly be a landmark in my life. The mere thought of it, the preparations we are into through messages and chats are all adding to the joy it will mean seeing each other f2f and sharing what will be an unforgettable time together. I'm getting ready for thousands of photos! COMING SOON....!

They are coming soon. They feel my life with joy and happiness. They'll be near me in a month. I'll be able to squeeze them!!!! GLOBAL LEARN DAY TEN
October 23, 2006 08:45 AM PDT
An unimaginable experience. Unforgettable. A pipe dream made real. That was Global Day Ten, the worldwide event John Hibbs created for educators and technologists from all corners of the world, to speak from their homes and their working places on the use of technology in education. It was a moving pleasure to hear people from India, from Africa and the isle of Guam talk with audiences made up of volunteers, ready to share their own views and hopes.

Here she is, sweet, clever, cuddly, beautiful. Not a tango, but background music. A waltz at times, a swirl of joyous pranks, a soothing melody at others. A wealth of joy. A promising life tentacle of mine, in the distance.

In January 2005 we travelled to Portugal and I met there f2f a great friend of mine, Teresa D'Eça, another Webhead with whom I have been sharing years of work and friendship.

August 21, 2006 07:00 AM PDT
After many years in which part of the history of Rosario was silenced since it was related with the times of legal prostitution, a new outlook on this stage gave way to an unprecedented step taken by local authorities: that of integrating a "shameful" period into the true history of our city. A parade of old carriages and people dressed up in the fashion of those times --1911-1933-- were the background to the story an informed guide told the audience that had gathered in the neighbourhood where 80 years ago brothels were part of men´s lives in the Argentinian machist society. The existing maffia, backed by the law, imported beautiful girls from European countries, who were made to work in these brothels, for the benefit of malevolent "exploiters". Here´s a photo of Madame Safo´s brothel, a well-known character who administered and controlled the place for male owners.
Tango dancing in the streets

We´ve been seeing Rosario with Annette with visitors' eyes. And we were lucky to watch a celebration in a neighbourhood where, 80 years ago, brothels were part of men´s life. A guide showed us in as we toured what now is a public attraction, while telling us the history of prostitution in the "Chicago Argentina". A beloved English friend visits Rosario
August 20, 2006 06:20 AM PDT
And now it is my turn to play the hostess..., with the enriching company of Monica, another good friend I have the joy to share work with... And Malena, with whom I have also shared many years of solid friendship.... Annette Capel, who lives in wonderful Cambridge, has come to give a talk here in Rosario, but, mainly, to visit. She loves our place, since her mom was born here, and her affectionate nature and cheerful disposition has enhanced our daily life for a week now... Last night we took Annette out on a tango spree..., she could sense the spirit of the music and watch couple dance in a local, non-touristic atmosphere. Friendship. That is all life is about, if it's to be fully appreciated. Nothing compares to the bliss of choosing likeminded people to enjoy all the range of adventures life comes up with every single day. Meeting another dear friend

Meeting dear friend Ruth in Helsinki was one of the highlights of my trip. Being abroad
August 09, 2006 03:37 PM PDT
Being abroad broadens one's mind and one´s horizons.
First Ruth, then Susan, two encounters that made us --hubby and me-- still richer. What does this have to do with the tango, I myself wonder. It's the stirring of feelings that listening and dancing shares with visiting new places and with meeting dear friends, the elation they all trigger to then stay inside forever.
I feel so happy and privileged! April 05, 2006 08:04 AM PDT
Learning to dance the tango is marvelous! Feeling the rhytm and realizing that the efforts made to be able to imitate what teachers do are not in vain..., gives me a thrilling sensation of satisfaction... Besides, this "tango boom" in Argentina is a very curious phenomenon. For about 50 years the tango was ignored in this culture. Young people listened to pop music both national and international, and those few who stuck to the traditional tango were looked upon with a kind of "derision". It was an old-fashion habit of elderly people. Fifty years later, fashions have changed, coinciding with architecture: no longer are "antique" buildings pulled down to leave place to the modern, but they are refurbished and much appreciated. Thesame has happened with the tango. There are tango shows, tango teachers and tango lesons all over the place. People from neighbouring countries come to Buenos Aires monthly for tango lessons... There are fixed "milongas" (such the name of bars and cafes where tango can be danced) for each day of the week, sometimes with live orchestras and singers. Dancers of all ages can be seen on dancing pits performing elegantly and weirdly. But the most curious custom observed in this end of the world is the fact that these new sources of gathering people only start at 10 pm. Some people arrive still later, to stay up to 2 am next morning.
