In the Chinese city. Perspectives on the transmutations of an Empire

Sometimes I have received some criticism about the kind of education I am providing to my daughter Miffa.

Too many travels, too many parties, a little bit too much of excesses for a – no so little- bunny girl.

This past Sunday I decided to imitate my good friend Anita and after running 21 kilometres and 975 meters (Barcelona half marathon) we went to the CCCB. The exhibition was about the changes that have occurred through the time in China’s big cities.

Well, It was quite interesting but Miffa was sleeping most of the time arguing about the boring movies that new Chinese directors made to tribute five important cities.



Hey, I start a new job as a professional blogger

Some individuals have joined forces to start a big project whose visible head is, by now, a blog called: Ref S/N that could be translated as Reference No Number.

www.refsn.com

Despite being written in Spanish the site and the articles have enough visual power to transmit the essence of the matter. In other words, no words are needed in most cases.

Unfortunately there are some stupid rules – one is being a human to participate- and my father is the one who is credited and paid a huge amount of money for just copy and paste my work, or even worse, to write about my experiences and big knowledge as a Bunny sybarite and great connoisseur.



Bread & Butter; is this the end?

This will require further analysis, but the end has arrived. We have been there, actually me and Ramiro with Father Bunny. We were not in the mood to go there (we missed last editions) but we made the effort.

As my first impression, I would say…

Go to the fuck**g hell, you have became a bunch of boring idi**s.



In our way to the Marathon.

I am not going to loose my bet with my daughter and on 2009 I will run a Marathon no later than mid March.

On my agenda: Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon or/and Mizuno Barcelona Marathon.

Today I run another race – Barceloneta- to end a very hard week..

PS: This time Mem accompanied me.

As I have told you previously, the re-encounter with my sister has broken some pre-defined schemas. Being a super-hype bunny and staying at the top wasn’t my desire but I was. Now I have my sister and I feel we must recover the lost time.

So, again Xiam – the one who was in Sonar with FB- was in charge to cover a big event that, a lazy Mr. Cyteck has not covered yet, was our bunny reporter.

Outstanding visuals, music, and atmosphere. But the very best – forgive me, boys and girls- was again MuSik’s world domination

Como os he contado en algunas ocasiones, el re encuentro con mi hermana ha roto algunas de mis rutinas. Ser la super coneja de moda y estar en el top no es fácil. No era mi deseo pero soy la Paris Hilton Conejil (stop fantaseos Evaseé). Mi hermana y yo tenemos que recuperar el tiempo perdido.

Con lo que – otra vez – fue Xiam, bien entrenada en el Sonar fue quien cubrió la noticia – que el vago de Cyteck no ha cubierto antes-

Soberbios audiovisuales, música y ambiente . Pero lo mejor fue – perdonadme – el que ya es un himno de Musik : World Domination



Katanga’s Reflections (Reflejos)

Yesterday it was a major holiday in Barcelona: La Mercè. For the first time since I live here we didn’t do anything special, in fact we remained at home all day. Ok, Father Bunny was in the mood for an early run but this is nothing special to take into account. I think that we are only in the mood to discover Barcelona’s attractions when we have guests.

I went with my father to grab the newspaper and I discovered that my friend Katanga – and the only human who is a member of the Supreme Council- i
s the producer and director of Kiefer Sutherland’s new movie: Mirrors (Reflejos in Spanish).

Yes, I know that in the movie she is not credited in any place. But believe me when I say that if the movie, or at least the visual effects are not supervised by her, the “Reflections” will be lame photoshop filters done by underpaid inexperienced people.

Please read the sentence: El mal se esconde al otro lado – Evil hides in the other side.

Evil hides on reflections!!


Running "La Merce" 10k race

Today FB took part into “Merce 2008 10 kilometres race” Five years before he run his first Half Marathon in this date. Unfortunately Draculina wasn’t so good and she decided to stay at home with the rest of the family.

He did hi personal best with moderately effortless and enjoyed running by Barcelona’s most famous streets and avenues. Despite the good time he said that when he arrived to the finish line he was quite sad because he couldn’t share his joy with anyone.

Hmm, Draculina must go with him next time.



Damn, Father Bunny blasted me!

Look his metro ticket and his non electronic pace calculator
- a nice move because the heart rate monitor wasn’t working today-
may be the secret to achive a good race. Our race # 819.
I have the feeling that he has been training secretly and using illegal tricks to beat our 45:00 barrier. After a hard last race – after a hard night party I organized to neutralize his training- that ended with him and my sister Draculina stopping the chrono at 0:45:05 but suffering as they were in the lungs of hell in the second half, I raised the bar and I asked for an under 44:00 minutes.

He trained with 35 Celsius past Friday and Sunday for 16 and 21 kilometres (he wants to do a half marathon in September).

As ever before the over train factor was important and we thought that he will broke due to an extreme treadmill exercise made in 0:43:48 with the second half running over 14 kph. Lot of ice, lot of complaints but lot of muscle gained in his quadriceps in two weeks. Damaged but not so much.

Last game of the season, The Eurogames – surely too early, too hot, but his last chance to win- a non profit event organized by the European Gay & Lesbian Sport Federation opened to everyone that promotes integration and non discrimination between gender and sexual orientation. An event with athletes from all over Europe that will raise the level of the previous races.

The race, only one leg, that’s nice! close to the beach nicer!

My father has to carry Draculina with him all the time inside his cargo pants pocket or in his hands. With almost 32 celsius a cotton cargo pant over your legs with you underground ticket, sunglasses, some coins, home keys and dextrose pills is an extra weight and an extra power heater that you should better avoid, but my little bunnies, rules are rules!!

7:20 alarm clock, 8.10 underground, 8.40 a lot of people who is going to run an people who is accredited as organization are in the same underground train.

The old man is getting nervous – a French couple asked him, an English guy asked him…where are we going to get our race number? – the beginning of the end ?

May be, normally you can get your number for the race the day after but in Eurogames 10k race you must present yourself one hour before.

From the underground exit he was forced to run about 1.5 km to arrive 10 minutes before.

Draculina on the beach, after winning their bet with me, I invited them to Paella

Hahaha , he has used some energies – I was laughing in my bed.

Start!

First kilometre: amazingly the GPS said FB he was doing 4:10 a km, but the 1st kilometre mark was at 1,35 kilometres. This was very annoying because he forced his pace a lot during the first 6 kilometres where – suddenly – the gps and km mark began to match. (Well, I run out of money to pay the signal crew)

After 5,80 km nirvana arrived to Draculina and FB, they began to pass people on a very steady pace- but some tiny hills were on the last 2 kilometre- unfortunately he trained his last 21 on a hill and he was able to pass more runners and to lost almost 10 seconds arguing with Draculina before using his last forces to sprint at 14.5 kph the last 300 metres.

Unfortunately me and Mother Bunny got lost but you can check his result here. He won with a 0:43:41 chrono. But still a 21,065 kms and a 42.195 kms are part of out bets.



Sunday in the city.

Father and Mother Bunny went for a walk today while me and Miffo remained at home with our friend Daikin.
Umeko and Mem wanted to go to the beach but they’re quite small for the long walk so they decided to go inside FB’s camelback.

They walked around 12 kms in two hours, not so bad. Just another boring Sunday in Barcelona waiting for summer vacation.


More Bread, less Butter

As every year since a couple of them or something, Father Bunny and one of my sisters will go to this event that has been described as:

“In Barcelona fashion victims and those who really want to be walking on the knife edge while talking about fashion and music cannot afford to miss two events Sonar and Bread & Butter”

After the terrible experience in last year’s Custo Party (I had a golden VIP entrance and I missed the catwalk) I have decided to stay at home with my new Daikin AC on.

I would add this to the above statement

“People on their late 30’s and middle 40’s should not miss BBB, specially if they get excited cross dressing or wearing outfits designed for pre-adolescents who own their self stem to Noxima.”

Ahh, if you enjoy a lot of almost nude babes that’s for you too.
