yei! :)

wooohoooo done with portfolio!! :) finalmente ayer entrege portfolio + web page + book.... estaba q me volvia loca. Fue entretenido!
Yo, estaba super tranquila, mas bien queria acabar con eso pronto! pero todo el mundo comenzaba a preguntarme "are you ok?" "no estas nerviosa?" y con tantas preguntas similares llegue al salon donde presentariamos y estaba sudando hasta por donde no se suda! hehe ok.. suena nasty. Pero d verdad, los nervios me agarraron. Por suerte no eran nervios de trancarme, quedarme en cero, si no nervios de tonterias, que por lo menos los hice reir hehe, ya que conocia a la mayoria de los del salon y siempre echaba broma con todos. Si hubiese sido prof q ni idea de quienes eran y alumnos que jamas habia visto (q habian unos cuantos) si me hubiese trancado. Ah que a demas, por lo menos cuando estaba en Preportafolio solo eramos en el salon los d pre, los que presentaban y 3 prof., esta vez eran un monton d estudiantes y mas profesores.
Pero bueh, era la hora de presentar, el primer nombre que llaman gracias a mi apellido (Castillo) era yo. Me pare diciendo "why me?" el prof dijo porque eres la primera, al menos que alguien se ofresca d voluntario" por supuesto nadie dijo nada! bueh... primera en salir d eso. Puse el DVD, dijeron que hablara algo d mi y yo oh Dios... que digo d mi...
Hola! soy Yosmar (sip, ese es mi nombre pa los q no sabian, no es solo Yoss), amo el cine y hacer videos. Me encanta todo, desde escribir, producir, dirigir incluso actuar! solo que a lo que me enfoco mas es Edicion y DP (direccion d fotografia) o trabajos con camara. Aqui esta mi demo. ME sente d un lado y todos vimos el video. Escuche unos 'nice' otros 'cool' asi que supongo que estaba bien. Al final aplaudieron (era normal, aplaudiamos con todos!) me dijeron que estaba bien, me preguntaron de nuevo que di DP era lo que mas queria hacer y yo sip. Luego presente la page, 'great job' me dijeron y done conmigo! no mas! toy libre! donde esta la vodka?

Rick Case Honda

Omg! It's been a whole month and still haven't pay for my new Honda Civic.
I went to Rick Case Honda in 2002 to buy a new car, I got it so fast, without any problem, the people was so nice, great place to make a good deal. 6 years later I want to change my car for another Honda of course, since I LOVE Honda as a car and Toyota as a SUV. Where to go? Rick Case Honda!
Everything was great at the begining. First I wanted to sell my Accord by myself so I can get enough money and give it as a downpayment. Around $5000-$6000 was the asking price for my 2002 Honda Accord. At Rick Case Honda didn't belive I could sell my car for that price, well I had a lot of offers and they actually checked over the Internet and saw the price (with milages and the year) was $5000. So I accepted to sell them my Accord for that price and get my new 2008 Honda Civic. Love my car, don't like anymore the people from Rick Case Honda! Why? Well, they told me I was approve so I can give them my car as downpayment and the amount I was thinking as monthly payment, that everything was perfect so I could take my new car with me. I just had to bring some stuff next day, so I did!
After a week they called me telling me I wasn't approved! What? You said before I was! So, you lied to me! and I had to pay $2000 more as downpayment? WHAT? That wasn't the deal! I took my new car because we both accept the deal! and now you are changing it?? Ok, give me my Accord back and take the Civic. Oh no, they don't want to do that! so we made a new deal!
Another 3 weeks, that's not the phone number of your office (They said). No that's my old cellphone that I was telling you all the time if you wanted to delete it and you said it doesn't matter (I said). We need 3 month bank statement from you (they asked) bla bla bla

I mean.. why do they give me a new car, after saying everything is great. After we both accepted the deal, we both signed it and now... after a month they want more money? Just cuz I'm a girl? just because they think I will give them more money and change the whole deal? a Deal is a deal! if we both accept something is because we both are ok with it! Now you want to change everything? the bank doesn't approve it?? Say: we need to call the bank to see if they approve the loan, if they do you come back in a week and drive your new car! Isn't that EASIER AND HONEST??? but nooo let's see how many people are going to give more money and change the first deal?

I woulnd't care or be this angry at them if they'd said something like that at the begining not changing their minds every week because they don't make the deals first with the people from the loan. If you say "everything is great" at the begining, don't come after me saying "oh no, it wasn't great! The people from the loan don't accept it, now give us more money!"

I'll get a Toyota next time...
