Hello my people, I hope you have had a very nice welcome of the new year, today I will tell you what this year meant to me that even though we lived so many bad things related to an insufferable virus, it was also loaded with nice vibes and fulfilled goals and a happiness that I did not think to reach so quickly in my life.
The year started off a little slow, but January was full of photo shoots with the bands I was in. By then I was working hard on learning about cryptos, practicing hard on the piano, among other things.

After this it was approaching the 23rd birthday of my beloved with whom I was renewing my relationship in the best way with love and patience. We had some simple but very nice dates during this January.

During that December 2019 I had sent several resumes to companies looking for a job, for January I had a couple of interviews and precisely on a Wednesday January 27th I had one before her birthday it was quite extensive because I had to fill out several very boring forms that almost immediately made me reconsider if I wanted to go to the interview. I remember that after that I ran to Guarenas because I was planning to arrive early, but everything took too long.
My gift was something a bit simple, but of course I made it with a lot of love.

February
February started off with a rough start because we were in the process of releasing a song called "Repite después de mi" a song that actually is not for me the best collaboration I've done, but it's something I was able to do this year. At the same time I had a job opportunity in a small company who almost took me by the arms to work with them but I didn't like the vibe they had and when I talked to them about the salary offer they acted crazy (as we say here) and never told me exactly when it would be, it was something a bit random because it depended on the jobs that came in, They were also very tempted by my signature as an engineer, which gave me even more of a bad feeling, so much so that in the end when they told me that we would talk about a salary offer in person I decided not to go, I thought it would be a waste of time. I know it was the right decision, but I found out after a while.

March
I had an unexpected visit from my niece and her daughter (my granddaughter) so at this age I am a grandfather by fate, they came precisely on the birthday of my mother, sister and aunt who have birthdays at the same time, it was a very beautiful day full of happiness for all of them and for me, By that time I was working in a liquor store but I had already received a call from a company that was very attentive to me for some reason but for various reasons such as a severe inflammation in a gum by a tooth that was already completely destroyed I could not attend at the first opportunity, it was not until I went to Guarenas to extract it once and for all.
Celebrating a little bit the birthdays and my granddaughter's visit.
Visit to the dentist !
When I was able to do that, coincidentally when I went out they called me again from this same company to interview me and so I could arrange a different day to finally get closer to try it, it seemed strange to me the insistence of the company to go to the interview was not the first time it happened to me, but I knew that the company was recognized and has a history of about 74 years now, so it was something big. I don't remember precisely when the first interview was, but I know it was almost at the end of March, as soon as I had it and I knew the salary offer (because I asked for a morning off from work at the liquor store to go) I quit because they were really offering me an incredible amount of money for a relatively simple job.

April
My April arrived full of excitement because it was certain that I would start working at Industrias Alimentacias Corralito Giacomello I had to wait a bit while I spent the holy week in which I really did nothing more than being excited to start and because on the 11th of that month Chiqui had some little healthy puppies, although sadly 1 of the 4 that had been born died, apparently he choked with his tongue and by the time I arrived he was already dead. I was able to give them all up for adoption after a couple of months had passed and I couldn't help but fall in love with a little guy we named Juancito.
I started my new job on April 20th getting to know the company and taking a tour, the next day I got to know my work team and more or less how was the movement inside the department, it seemed to me something extremely busy full of mechanics, electricians and capable specialists, very good people. My job was something extremely extensive that at the beginning was full of a lot of pressures because a certain person made my life impossible, although at the beginning she showed herself as a friend. But before all this I dedicated myself to celebrate the successes.
Celebrating successes
May
My birthday month arrives and my mind does not stop thinking about this, but of course I was understanding better my work, what were the primary needs, what to do first, second, third, etc., and that was how I was able to advance the work more quickly, it was a difficult process I will not lie but God has put me great people in my way including a graduate in accounting named Wilman who is a brilliant and very helpful person, he had very good ideas and I had a lot of fun with him, he was a very good person, he was a very good person, he had a lot of good ideas and he was a very good ideas and he was suggesting them to me in a very respectful way above all, besides he is a crack in Excel (something that in these last months I have learned to use better).
It was also Mother's month and my dad's birthday on the same day.
My mom's gift
My dad's gift !
By the time May 19th arrived it was a Wednesday and I had already completed 1 month in the company, they had already mentioned to me that from that moment on they would give me weekly bologna and if I had a birthday they would give me a special gift, I sincerely believed that it would be the week after that that this would happen and I did not imagine that they would give me the birthday gift from the company, but how was it? I was 100% wrong because that day I received my first mortadella and the following week I received a birthday gift which was 1 pepperoni, 1 salami and 3 additional mortadellas, I was extremely happy and not to mention my birthday celebration was the best in many years to be honest....
I had a cake that matched me, the surprise that my girlfriend showed up at the last minute to surprise me with her visit and dress super beautiful (more than usual), it was one of the most beautiful moments I have ever had in my life because I think it is the first time I celebrate a birthday this way in my house, I played music, there was food and the best company of friends and family, I was too happy on this day. I danced, laughed, drank, ate, enjoyed, hugged, kissed and everything until the wee hours of the morning, it is truly one of the best birthdays I ever had (sorry if I mention it too much). As a plus there was a lot of cake that I ate during that weekend.
Celebrating my 28th birthday
June
It was one of the months that I worked the hardest at work because my contract deadline was approaching and I was very nervous about whether or not I would stay with the company, we were literally able to inventory in several weeks about 6000 parts from a warehouse that was in complete disarray, with the help mainly of Wilman we were able to do too much really.
The nerves of the whole department remained, but I remained positive, although a little scared this job was paying me very well, I had a good team and I was having a good time there, it should be noted that they made a salary increase that was excellent for us.
The rest of the month was spent trying to pick up Chiqui and waiting for them to take the rest of my furry grandchildren, only one furry female and Juancito were missing, luckily everything with them went very well. This month was normal for the most part.
July
The next month was somewhat similar, but the company had a fire drill and I was busy identifying parts in the warehouse. The only dark part of this month was that my other dog Thor was sick and was getting worse every day, he had me a little worried, but not as much as he was at the end of the month, he was suffering quite a bit.
August
It was quite a stormy month because Thor could no longer cope with himself, he was losing his vision and on one occasion he went so far down the ravine near the house that he was lost for several hours, I went down and found him on someone else's land where thank God there was no one, but I saw him lost and almost blind, I did not know what to do.
Days later the dog could not even walk well, he staggered and fell, cried a lot, lost hair and I walked with a broken heart for all this, I could not find relief for his being. It wasn't until Thursday August 11th after trying to stop him from crying all night that I decided to put Thor to sleep, that morning I cried a lot because I didn't want to let him go, but I had to do it to avoid his suffering and to let him rest once and for all.

The vet came on August 12th (a Friday) to try to put him to sleep, but we didn't succeed, the good thing about that day is that after giving him some sedatives he could finally have a decent night's sleep, I asked for that day off from work because I wanted to say goodbye to my friend, my boss accepted without any objection.
On August 13th it was time to say goodbye to him, the vet came and after several things and details that I prefer not to mention, he was injected in his heart with a medicine that stops it, my girlfriend covered my eyes at this moment because it was a strong scene and it was not necessary for me to remember my little black suffering so much, I saw him take his last breath, I thanked the vet, I went out to the yard of my house with Thor in his basket, my girlfriend and a little bench, I put him on my left side, I sat down and started to cry, my little black one was gone, but I know he was finally calm. I was very sad but little by little I started to feel better and I realized it was the best thing for Thor.
September
It was a month of small but great successes for us as a couple starting the month we bought our travel bags at an excellent price and excellent quality, it was a quick but fair decision, it is these small steps that inspire us to move forward. Overall it was a quiet month, I continued with my work and met a very cute pitbull.
I also started practicing piano regularly since I had several months without playing due to obligations and the little time I had, plus I had the opportunity to give piano lessons, which I was very excited about because it had been a long time since the last time I taught.
We also made a coffee mask for each other.
October
It was a very prosperous month full of nice dates as a couple and as entrepreneurs, we went out several times to eat and to walk for a while, I also had a visit from a very special cousin in the middle of the month, we watched some movies and had a great time that night.
I went to visit my mother in law and the following week I went to see another barista course that I really enjoyed a lot, I learned a lot and I can say for sure that I can prepare an espresso, I just need to learn about the late art to go climbing as a barista... But this is not all in this month, finally we could buy a new high quality light ring that would help us to record our videos with better quality, better lighting and more professionalism, I felt that we reached incredible goals in a very short time. Of course I recorded several videos.

NOVEMBER
The month of true love... This was the month in which I proposed to my beloved in a beautiful and special way. I didn't think I was going to get engaged this year actually, but I think it was the right time plus the beach was beautiful all around.
My marriage proposal
I was able to see a great friend of mine singing like never before, she is very talented, I have told her to come and post here for the world to hear, but she hasn't been up for it.
Besides this I started to train at the gym to be in better physical condition and relieve the stress of everyday life, this improved my mental health even, plus I realized that I was stronger than I thought.
And the month of December...
was full of gifts for my loved ones, it was full of love, happiness, food, work, video recordings and a lot of partying, this month is summarized in this post.
Mi diciembre 2021
This year was a year of great learning for me, I was able to diversify myself more as a person, learn new things, straighten my compass towards my destiny, discover even better what I am capable of, feel better about myself, enjoy a lot, grow as a couple, laugh, dance, dream and pursue my dreams, I could hear and make music, I could record things, I could say goodbye to a great furry friend, I could exercise, I could propose marriage, I could with all the tests that life put me and I know that this new year and the coming ones I will be able to do much more.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH 2021, THANK YOU VERY MUCH GOD AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH LIFE.
