Enjoy Life how it is.

Something to share this photo’s and learn to appreciate everything in your life.
Enjoy life how it is and as it comes.
Things are worse for others and is a lot better for us :-)

If you think you are unhappy, look at them



If you think your salary is low, how about her?



If you think you suffer in life, do you suffer as much as he does?

New language policy

MESSAGE FROM CORPORATE OFFICES

TO: ALL MEXICAN STAFF (and colleagues from other countries)

FROM: HUMAN RESOURCES

RE: IMPROPER LANGUAGE USAGE

DATE: OCT 10, 2008

Several corporate officers have brought to our attention that Mexican
staff commonly uses inappropriate language. Such behavior, in addition
to violating Company Policy # 23.2, is regarded as highly unprofessional
and offensive. Therefore, from this date forward, everyone concerned
should immediately adhere to the following rules:

1. Words like 'carajo', 'chingada' and other such expressions will not
be used for emphasis, no matter how heated the discussion might be.

2. You will not say 'pendejo' or 'la cagas', when somebody is being
reprimanded, or 'que pendejada' or 'que mamadas son estas' when a major
mistake or conflict has risen. All forms derived of the verbs,
pendejear', 'mamar' or 'cagar' are unsuitable in our environment, for
they lead to further confusion and potential disagreement.

3. No Manager, Director, or least Vice-President under any circumstances
will be referred to as 'hijo de su chingada madre', 'hijo de puta',
'cabrón' or 'ojete'.

4. Lack of determination will not be referred to as 'falta de huevos',
'pinche puto' or 'maricón', nor will persons with lack of initiative be
referred as 'culero' or 'pendejo'.

5. Unusual creative or original ideas should not be referred to as
'pinches jaladas'.

6. Do not say 'como chinga' or 'jode' if a person is persistent, or
'está jodido' if a colleague is going through a difficult situation, or
his or her department's position is untenable or ill-conceived.
Furthermore, you must not say 'que chinga' when matters turn
complicated.

7. When asking someone to leave you alone, you must not say 'vete a la
chingada' or 'vete al carajo', do not ever substitute 'May I help you'
with '¿qué chingados quieres?'. When things get-tough and unacceptable,
and statement such as 'We are going through a difficult time' should be
used rather than: 'esto está de la chingada'.

8.Performance Management sessions with staff should never be referred to
as 'esto ya mamó'.

9.If you make a mistake just say so, and not say 'ya la cagué' or 'ya me
llevó la chingada' when your Direct Reports get to know about your
mistakes.

10.Under no circumstance should you call our staff members who are
approaching retirement as 'rucos ojetes'.

11.When in a hurry never use expressions such as 'ándale, cabrón' or
'orale, pinches putos'.

12. The statement 'te la pelas' should not be used to discourage
someone.

13. 'Nos la pelaron los pinches gringos' should not be used to convey
the idea of victory in a negotiation.

14. When a problem is not your responsibility, you must not say 'no es
mi pedo', for there is not an accurate translation of the statement in
our language.

Thanks and have a nice day.

Leisure activities



Lyrics - Billie Jean (Michael Jackson)


She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
She said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round

She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round

People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

For forty days and for forty nights
The law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
(Do think twice)

She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine (oh, no!)
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby

People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
She came and stood right by me
Then the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one

Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is

Not my lover
Not my lover
Not my lover
Not my lover

Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)

Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is

Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is

Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is

Welcome to Berlis

Hello there,

As you should know we started a new section into the SAPEDAS blog: english lessons. The objective of this new section is to improve our english by ourselfs using the cross-training method.

Normativity.

- Every month each one of us must post a note in english into the blog.
- Every Monday and Wednesday we're goning to spend at least an hour speaking only in english.
- When the english session starts, no one can tell any word in spanish, if you do, you will pay 1 peso for every word you pronounce, except if you get a phone call.
- Everyone must prepare an activity per day, we're going to split the activities among the week.
- At the moment just SM1, A1S and Raul are participating in this new activity, however everybody in this blog is cordially invited to participate.

Guys, if I'm missing something please remind me and I'll update the 'Welcome'
