I have apparently been doubly tagged (whatever that means). I’m supposed to write 5 things that no one knows about me. It’s easy to figure out 5 secrets (and even more) that I keep, the difficult part is deciding what to share here. I guess I’ll give it a try:

1. When I was in highschool, I used to write the names of girls I liked (usually encoded somehow) in my notebooks during classes.
2. There’s one Windows feature that I like best over the Mac OS X implementation: copying and pasting folders. In Windows if you copy a folder and it already exists you can merge the contents. In OS X, the folder gets replaced.
3. I hate slow drivers! Which sometimes causes outburst of road rage…
4. My music library includes a song by Celia Cruz (La vida es un carnaval) rated with 3! stars. I guess it’s got good rhythm.
5. I’m only posting this in hopes of getting some earthly delights (just kidding) (or am I?).

Now it’s your turn neop, you’ve been tagged!

I am really excited because I just won a Leadership Award for my work as a WebSphere IT Specialist for IBM in Mexico. Aside from the recognition, I get a 4-day trip for me and an “adult guest” to New York. Since I’m single, I still haven’t made a final decision as to who will be my guest, so submit your application ASAP (women only please) :P. I’m also accepting suggestions regarding must-see places.

In recent news, I have been appointed as the WebSphere Integration Solution Architect Leader for Latin America, which makes me the focal point to guide other IT Specialists in the region interested in pursuing this competency. I am still figuring out the specific action plan, but it seems like a good chance to get to know and collaborate with fellow IBMers.

Finally, frequent visitors might be aware of ads appearing in some of my pages. I decided to experiment a bit and will evaluate if they should remain after a trial period.
