Dear Miss X,
January is almost gone.
When 2011 ended I had thought thoroughly of the many things I’d like to do and/or accomplish in 2012. Perhaps they are a shit load and I won’t be able to fulfil them all —I bet I’ll forget some—, but they are not New Year’s resolutions. I’ll let you know how all this jazz went down if we get to have a Merry 2012 Christmas. :)

Feliz Navidad
«Cada año es lo mismo» pensó. Y era cierto. En Navidad, era reglamentario ir a la casa de su abuela a pasar la noche con toda la familia; verse las caras y cenar juntos, actuando como si fueran todos cercanos y cariñosos unos con otros.
—Todo es hipocresía —se dijo a sí mismo.
No lograba entender, mucho menos sentir, el significado de la Navidad. No era un joven creyente, así que poco le...

Es mejor no mirar atrás
“Hay veces en las que es mejor no mirar atrás.”
Estiró el cuello para ver por encima de la pared de su cubículo: ya estaba anocheciendo.
Su jefe había tenido la amabilidad de informarle, minutos antes de su hora de salida, que era necesario corregir y poner en orden la documentación comercial del mes, lo cual significaba que debía aplicarse a ello a la voz de ya sin...
