About Me

About me… Born and bread in Barcelona city...You'll say?!, the city by the sea with the weird Gaudí buildings?...Yes, that's the one!! Though, after 24 years of living there, I confess it got a bit boring!...believe it or not, there's only so many stag dos one can put up with... After 4 years in London and I'm still liking it! I'm a graphic designer working as an account manager for a major comms agency in town. Yes, I know, I’ve sold my soul to the devil. We promote tobacco and alcohol and pretend that is not as bad as it looks like just because by law, you may consume them responsibly. Well, you see, they are taxed drugs!, don’t be fooled by the government. There are better drugs and healthier drugs than alcohol and tobacco. Let me think…About my hobbies...Cinema, books, good cuisine -I consider myself a good cook and a 'foody'-, and more cinema and movies. Friday nights are the usual with the usual suspects, a drink, a laugh, some jokes and probably a hangover the next morning./
