Something that I just stop feeling in Venezuela was felt again in this conference...

YES! I AM IN AIESEC! The spirit is back and hopefully it will grow lots! AIESEC Venezuela is going to rock next term... The talent we have right now is the talent needed to bring AIESEC back to this organization. I'm very proud of my team and very proud of the reults we had in the conference!

As most of you already know Richard left the office almost 2 weeks ago... Sooooo, the new finance responsible during his absence iiiiisssss...... MEEEE!!! hehehehe, I'm back to finances... Is great to be back, although more work is coming, specially 'cause there are some fiscal and legal issues, and of course, finances are not always that fun when a conference is coming and you dont have enough money.

Anyway... last week was craaaaaazy... But the conference started almost on time, we got lost like 5 times on the way to the venue, but we (facis) arrived really early which gave us time to finish everything we had to prepare... Besides one guy, we had awesome externals, people loft them. We had session in the pool, sessions with projections on the roof, great outputs, like the contribution for AIESEC 2010, and great parties like the local cultural party.

People danced rollcalls, people cried, people did their best in order to make everything work and have the best conference ever!

Right now I'm back into the office... lots to do of course... meetings and issues to solve... But again really happy to be here... Although Im starting to think that probably it is my time to leave AIESEC.

:-o... Can't believe I said that...

Confussion

Lost in space

Sad?

Happy?

Satisfied?

ENJOY CONEXIÓN 2007!

HEY GUYS!!!

NATCO-LDS is comming... I meant... CONEXIÓN 2007! IS COMMIIING!!!

OH YES! And is comming really hot! We have a great conference on the way... It's gonna be awesome! Im sooooo excited about this... You have nooooo idea!

Anyway... I have classes now... Got to go!

ENJOY!

LOOOOOOTS TO DO!

Ok... Rob just told me that it seems that I stoped my editing moment... Porbably he's right... I just think that I came back to my reality and actually is kind of worse. Why?, I have soooooooooo much to do, I mean, I left the Cy once for IPM, that was ok 'cause it was my job and also I was on school holidays...

Buuuuuuuuuut I also left the Cy to go to Mexico and I missed 2 weeks of classes plus lots of work I had to finish by those weeks (I did some of the work in Mexico, but not eeeeverything). Sooo, right now I'm trying to catch up my classes and exams, paper works and friends (yeah right, they want to kill me)... Plus tons of work I have to do.

But you know what's the best thing?... Guess... I'm still excited, happy and frustrated... Im soooo happy with the work Im doing these days. The preparation of NATCO is greeat, the agenda, sessions. Im also in the tracking days of the national plan. Im having great meetings in the MC. Im watching opportunities eeeeverywhere. Im still listening a lot of music. Im just living!

To tell you a little bit about my life these days... I arrived on Good thursday and I spent the night with mny mom going to 7 different churches (catholic tradition), sooo insted of resting I spent the night in the whole city 'till 1 am. Anyway on friday I went also to the church, but this time I took my grandma who wanted to go, I stayed there for 4 hours almost. The cool thing is that I could see and talk to good friends I had long time without speaking to. For those who dont know me, I used to spend lots of time in church during 10 years of my life.

Saturday and Sunday were familiy and friends days... I had the chance to go to COPAS! (I really love that club) and I look for chocolate eggs in my grandma house, the adults (Im still a child) hided the eggs in all the house and the garden and we looked for them (fuuuuun!!!)... Of course, I couldnt miss my time to work on AIESEC during those days, although I couldnt do as much as I wanted.

These days I've been going to the office, having meetings, going to classes, catching up... Difficult, and I feel some professors actually look at me as the guy that is noooo interested at all in their classes... FUCK! I had an amaizing experience that gave me more than what they could give me in those 2 weeks :-P

Soooo... Thats the resume that I can give right now... Have to go back to work... Very excited and happy!!! I just cant stop movements in my body and music in my head...

Loooooove is in the air!

More images from the happy Franky!

More images for youuuuuuu.... And dont ask for more 'till I upload them :-P















This is our awesome conference team... we have OC and facis here... GREAT PEOPLE!















Here we are trying to practice the rollcall... This was our first office during the premeeting... Was very nice!

Love!

Love is in the air!!!

Just wanted to let you know that..... LOVE IS IN THE AIR!!!!

Hehhehehehe... Just happy! and no, Im not drinking!

Kiss!

Just finished!

Well guys! we just finished the Spanish Speaking Presidents Meeting (SSPM)... My last task here... My last responsibility as MCP of AIESEC in Venezuela here in Mexico... The meeting was great! we had good discussions and we got to commitments, hopefully commitments that are going to be accomplished this time... Im gonna make sure that Venezuela fullfil ours.

Now Im in the MC House working in some small things and answering some emails... Tomorrow I wanna go to the pyramids, to the computer center (need to buy a pd) and to "Basilica de la Guadalupe"... And Im pretty sure that there are some other things I should see... Buuuuut, no time!

So people... hope you're ok... Thanks for reading me... Dont ask for pics!

Love

Frank

Excitment!!!!

I think that in this time is just impossible for me to describe the amount of excitment that I have... Is not just 'cause we finish a great conference and the delegates are fucking satisfied! But is also 'cause I'm feeling soooo good about the result of the conference that I just wanna dance, jump, sing, open my body to the world and let them feel the energy and light that is inside me.

Actually the conference is finishing tomorrow, but today we had our last session as facis of ALDS... Or who knows, facis of Ser Mas Leaders Summit... hehehehehe... We'll see... I just wanna say that this is defenetly another experience that have a great value in my AIESEC career and in my life.

Shit guys... Conferences in AIESEC are the best... you can have any role, but the best experience I have had in my life have been IC 2004 as CC member and now AXLDS 07 as faci... I just wish that all of you could have this opportunity and could take as much advantage as I did.

I'm now going to the last party of the conference... Just wanted to share my excitment with people out of the conference... Love you all... Life is great! and more is coming... Hopefully this havent finish here...

Hugs and Kisses!

Some images from Guanajuato!

Here are some images!

Enjoy!

We were taking a decision in our office... Which?, dont remember, so dont ask :P

Here we have the faci team dancing our great roll call.. Can you find me?

For those who are wondering, this is our wonderfull and colorfull agenda!

Hidden behind the plenary

Hey!

So I decided to stay behind the plenary... The reason, there's a session going just infront the plenary, and Dey is taaaaaaalking about the SSGN action charter. And also cause I came into the plenary when the session already started and people start to clap cause of something about been late.

Anyway... to tell you a little bit more... We had an awesome outdoor day, my group was excelent! the activities were really good and I manage to dress up and go to the formal dinner, which was soooo good that I actually didnt want to leave... Soooo, we came back to the hotel (the dinner was outside) and I keep talking to people and received a greeeeeeat massage.

The next day we had the LN, completly a mess for us, there were no communication and I actually couldn't manage to understand our role in that part of the conference. So we went back to the hotel and work in the sessions for today, we ended up working 'till 4 am, and Irina and I went to sleep at 4:30 am... Today I woke up at 7:30 sooooooo sleepy, but I took my shower, went for breakfast and start my sessions of the day, which were very very very coooool!

Now I'm veeeery tired, in a faci meeting with something in my eyes according to eeeeeverybody... I wanna go to the party, hopefully I would be ably to, I think that all the busses already left.

Well... meeting finished... Going to find a way to go to the party!

Hugs!!!

mmmm... Franky is worried...

Yeap... Franky is really really worried... I have to prepare something for the team and I still dont have a clue of how to do it... But the good news is that I just got my computer to work, so I have access almost all day to a computer to get my things done.

To tell you a little bit more about my trip to Mexico... I got late to the airport, and the guy said: "5 more minutes and you could loose your flight"... Buuuuuuuuut, didnt happen, Im here!, the flight was great, I read all the time the preparation materials and I also "visited Costa Rica", sorry, I meant, I stayed in an airplane for 45 minutes in Costa Rica... They didnt let us go out!!!!

I arrived and as I said we went to Cami's house and we got drunk, Sebastian gave us Aguardiente Colombiana!!!, shit, my first time drinking pure Aguardiente... To tell you about the next days I should get the pictures... As soon as I get some you'll know more :-)...

I'm gonna continue working and looking for the way to prepare what I have to prepare... aaaaaaand Im gonna continue eating tacos, quesadillas, etc.... Are you jealous?... I would be if I were you :-P

Hugs from Guanajuato.

A quick post from a new Cy

I arrived to Mexico 3 days ago... The OC was suppused to be there, buuuut they were not. The good news is that I found soem Colombian people that went to pick up Jenn and Ale from Colombian MC... They took us to Cami's house and Sebastián made us drink soooo much that we end the night veeery drunk, sleeping where we were not suppused to sleep hehehehehe...

Next day we just went to Socalo, Templo Mayor and Garibaldi's Square... And of course, we ate sooooo much mexican food... We had an awesome day!

Now I'm at Guanajuato preparing the conference with an great group of people... Beautiful individuals hehehehe... Some of you will understand..

Got to go now... but I'll tell you more later :-)

Hugs from Mexico.

Franky

Happy again!

Just to start getting use to this...

On March 15th (today) I'm suppused to send my IPM report to Araz and Argentina (regional Director and regional Chair), if not Venezuela will be charged with $200. But that's not the funny story...

Funny is when I had a really buuuuuuusy day yesterday... Plan review meeting with the MC, interview with the MCP candidate, meeting with the Alumni Coordinator, thousands of emails to answer (as always), etc... I even missed my classes 'cause I was really worried about the fact that "yesterday was March 15th". Yes! that's the story, I thought yesterday was March 15th... So I decided to buy some redbulls and work on the report reading some information and deciding what should be there...

But then... Rob came online (12:30 am) and after talked with him about my stress he just said, "but today is March 14th for you, you have 'till tomorrow to send the report"... I'm pretty sure all of you have lived something similar aaand... So I just saw the light again, I laughed lots and remember how much I enjoy my life...

So today... Happy day... I'm working on the report! :-) and I enjoyed my first redbull... Still have 2 more...

Ok...

So yes... I'm Bloging again after 3 months... what can I say, Im just not use to this activity... aaaand Im actually doing this just to show you one special picture: The Franky 2010 picture, took by Yoel from Perú! In this pic I was on the Red Sea in Egypt!

Franky 2010:

Every day Franky wakes up and plays some music and dances... Singing while he's taking a shower.

Franky keep building on his network and try to go as deep as possible with each of the people in it. Providing excitment and learnings each time somebody is around him.

Franky keeps working on his own development and keep helping those who need it, specially people that want to understand why they are as they are.

Franky is still happy... and he's always making sure that he does whatever it takes in order to continue being happy... without harming somebody else...

Hehehehehehe... Dont have too much time to think... So probably I just forgot something... Actually, as I said I just wanted to show you the pic that Yoel took.

In case you're wondering what have I done? A little resume since December... Actually my vacations didnt ended in Morrocoy, I spent really nice days showing Aine parts of Caracas and some other beaches like Choroni, meeting new people and introducing her more people... I finished another semester (I passed all my subjects!!!) and of course, I worked a looot for AIESEC... We had the NSM and 2 days after I went to Egypt, where I spent almost 3 wonderful weeks, I'll let you know why in the next post (like in 6 months from now)

Right now I'm sick... But completly happy, in a new semester and just about to leave to México! TO BE FACI OF ALDS 2007!!!!

Anyway... as always... got to go... But at least I posted something...

Kisses! Franky.

Rolling down sand dunes

BeSt VaCaTiOnS eVeR

Hey hey hey!!!
What can I saaaay?... Me writing again... And guess what!... Aine already arrived on December 11th. (monday) to Venezuela! :) here we are -->

Her first week here was probably not the best, she had to come to my office and wait for me to finish my classes, exams, etc. She saw me studying (she has good stories about that) and she came to some classes with me (the buring ones), but of course, I gave her a tour around the campus and introduce her a few people. We went out a couple of times and she join me in the preparation of the LCP meeting.

I almost spent all night from friday to saturday awake, and at 4:30 am I woke up Aine and Kelly, we had to leave my home at 5 am to go to Barquisimeto, the city where the LCP meeting was taking place. We left Caracas just 15 mins. later than the expected time, but at the end we arrived late to Barquisimeto, guess what. An accident!, that's it, a stu... truck just had an accident and block the road for 2 hours!!!! I spent 40 mins. walking 'till the accident place and 40 mins. to go back to the car (I was reaaaaaaally curious about what could happen). Good thing was that I could sing and dance while I was walking to the car without my t-shirt :-).

So we arrived to Bqto., the LCP meeting took place... I'm defently not going to talk about LCP meeting, READ THE OUTPUT! (that's for AIESECers)... The only thing I could tell you about is the fantastic dinner we had, but I was sooooooooooo tired 'cause of the trip that I couldn't dance or go to party after the dinner... The last day of the LCP meeting we just run out of Antonio's house and gave a quick visit to Santa Rosa (like a colonial town inside Bqto)... Then we went to Chichiriviche!! we had a reservation in a good place there!, we went for shoping (food and alcohol).

course... Anyway, we decided after we arrived to the resort that weTuesday arrived and the week was actually starting... We went to Cayo Sombrero, the best beach in Morrocoy! and we had great time there, although not our backs, we ended all burned, Aine more than me of should buy ice and start drinking. We just stoped for a little while to see the sunset and the pink birds (Flamingos) flying from school to their homes... We listened music and took some pics... Right after that we just went back to out apartment. I dont know why, but we just went to the pool for a while and went back to the apartment and the last think that we remember is that at 9 pm we were already sleeping. Next day we went to Coro!!!, greeeeeeeeeaaat days, we went to Los Medanos de Coro, loooooooooots of sand eeeeeeeeeveeerywhere, I'll upload a great video that you could watch to see how much fun you may have with the sand. After the dunes we went to the northest place in Venezuela, Cabo San Román! was sooooo great to get there, also was kind of hard, but worth it :-). We went back to Coro and after long thinking processes we decided to stay in Coro that night, so we look for a place to stay and we found this little but really cute place. We went out for a while to eat and see how was the city at night, was a nice place, we saw a lot of lights (at least more than the ones I was expecting :-), after we just ate something and bought some ice to have some drinks in the room (we already had the alcohol from Chichiriviche ;-).

Next day we woke up and went out to see the Colonial zone of Coro... Was reaaaaallyyy nice... We just went to the FIRST CHURCH IN VENEZUELA!, that was AWESOME!, here it is... It was built on 1530 so it has almost 500 years! that was incredible... After that we went to the Cathedral, to a Catholic Museum and to a place where Miranda gave his first speech for the freedom of Venezuela. Was really interesting everything we saw there, squares, streets, the town... One hour later we were eating and leaving Coro Kms. ago... We were going back to our place in Chichiriviche, to eat Aine's food, she prepared an eeeexcelleeeent meal! We tried to go party, but I had a horrible feeling in my back so we decided to stay, I actually couldn't sleep 'till almost 2 am...

Friday... almost last day... We had a tour! we saw a place full of images of saints and virgens!, we went into an indian cave and we saw a boat almost into the water full of oisters... Then we went to Cayo Sal were we ate and slept... and of course, went for some swim... At 3 pm we went back to the hotel where we ate, went to the pool and finallyyyyyyyyy went to party at night!!! was not bad, this India place was good, and we actually met a girl that seems to has 12 but actually has like 18. She invited us to dance with all the group in the round. The place closed at 3 am, so we went to sleep almost at 4 :-)...

On saturday we just came back to Caracas and slept a looooooooooot... I know that we did something else, but I actually cant remember, so lets say that we stayed at home 'till the 24th... And that my friends is the next post of my blog... I actually feel that this post needs to end here! but next one is going to be cool too... We went to many places too :-)...

Love u all!

Catching up!

Loooooong time without writing here... As always... I just decided that I really need a break in the office and just remembered that I have this random page where I write about my life so people can take a look quickly... hehehehe...

Anyway... What can I say... from the last time I've probably dated many people, went to the beach hundred times and party a lot!... YYEEEAAAHHHH RIGHT!, MCP's life, hahahahaha. Well, actually I've been at the beach twice, one with some friends during a free weekend (that actually exists) and the second time with Araz and my team during AI's visit.. We had a great time there!

So... I still have a debt on IC's stories... and that will be a life debt... I dont think I could remember everything now... Let's just say that it was amazing see some people again, specially people from IPM and Aine, hehehehe... The conference was ok, and the discussions had... hmmm.. let's say that we had a good time together.

After IC... Lot of work, I received a totally new AIESEC (my guys went through LCP meeting, ER weekend and Finance weekend), I needed to receive transition at that time hehehehe... But finally the team was complete after IC, Antje was here... and we had our MC team daaayysss... we planed and spend moments together... but mostly to work... a lot :-(... And after that we had so much work to do that we actually couldn't have some fun.

During October... LDS and LCP meeting!!!... God! was awesome!... the guys from LDS just enjoyed the conference too much and me, I really had the best LCP meeting ever (this is my second year in the MC)... Was really a kick-off for my motivation, it just gave me a lot of inputs and ideas to continue implementing the direction and keep the good work!... Somewhere in the middle of October (preparing myself for the LCP meeting) I went to the beach, I spent a greeeeeeeaattt time there and we have a lot of fun... aaand a lot of time to rest and drink some beers on the sand!

Now the best month... The month of my brithday... Yeap, November... I'm going to skip half of november to go directly to November 16th, when I was already tired 'cause of the month but I wanted to earn some money, so I decided to work at night.... How.... in a commercial, yeap, a commercial for PEPSI as extra! I worked was there from 9:30 pm 'till 5:30 am... I got home at 6 am after receiving my payment (one of the best parts)... I saw some artists and have some fun with music and drinks... but I slept just 2 hours 'cause I had to prepared some things before Araz's arrival... Yeap, I went directly to the airport to pick her up... But... everythig about her visit you can read it in the MC's blog (I wrote that post) 'cause I'm not going to write the same again... Just stories about my birthday which started on November 18th at 00:00 in a meeting preparing an AIESEC conference and ended with a meeting 'till almost 1 am on November 19th... I just can say that I really tried to enjoy my party time after the meeting, but I was reeeeaalllyyyy tired, so I went to bed almost at 5.

After Araz visit I just can say that we had an awesome days!, we really enjoy to have her here in Venezuela... And now that I have read her 100.000 emails about her visit I really can say that for sure it worth it... About these days... I missed 2 exams (will present the later, I can do that ;-)... I've passed the rest of the evaluations... Aaaaaanndd I wouldn't be able to forget elections!... JUST CRAAAAAAZY days... everybody waiting for something bad to happen, and at the end Chavez won and here we are, having our normal life... working, studing, sleeping, etc. Some are depressed, but most of the people are really willing to get over it and have a better impact in next elections.

Soooo finally today... I'm happy to have the need of a break... I could catch you up and spend some time talking about me :-). But Why I'm extremely happy about is 'cause in just 6 days a special person will be arriving Venezuela... Aine, I really cant wait to pick you up (I promisse I will... I would try to think that it's not a dream, hehehehe).

I reaaaally should go back to work now... So I'll be in touch.. Probably in one month ;-)

Love u all! Hugs!

Franky - BABY!

Love you all!

Me at IC :)

What can I say... I couldn't fulfill my promisse about updating my blog once a month, week, I don't remember. Anyway, here I am, once again trying to keep you updated about my life.


There are so many things that happened during July-August... Dan arrived from UK, special day, my first international team member arriving to Venezuela, a new son for me, and since that moment we were a team of tree (Dan Richard and me). We spent days preparing the national conference and finally we had our national conference in AIESEC for national planning, that one was really great. The venue and the food were nice and healthy (something new in AIESEC Venezuela), I don't have pictures here, but was in a mountain, with warm-cold weather, individual bedrooms, individual bathrooms, everything was really nice.

Dan and Richard were there, I think that everyone as exited as me, our national conference to plan our term, to meet with all the leadership team for the next term, to share, create and grow. Dan prepared a camp fire and an activity with candles (then we ask why the people think that we are a cult), everybody loved it and of course after that we made the toast for the new term that was just about to start.

In my opinion the national conference started a new term for actions and results never seen in AIESEC Venezuela, and that's what will come after the conference, during the Finance Weekend, the LCP meeting and the ER Weekend, hehehehe. Unfortunetly I was not in those meeting 'cause I was in IC 2006!

Hehehehehe, yeah, IC 2006, again in one IC, but this time as delegate, what a difference, always complaining about the CC (just kidding)... The experience started in my way to IC, I spent almost 40 hours in the trip, from Caracas to Dallas, where everybody stop me to check something (of course, one young guy travelling alone), from Dallas to London (what an expensive city! GOD) and from London to Warsaw, finally there. The CC was there to pick us up and take us to the venue, and there I met Antje, yes finally I met my last team member. We spent the night talking for a while and talking with the people from other countries.

But IC's stories will come later... I need to keep working... We have MC Team days this weekend and I need to prepare some things... And I need to prepare Richard for the weekend, he's really scared about Dan's cooking, me driving, weekend's logistic (nothing it's ready yet)...

Hope you've enjoyed this words... and the pics... See you in a future time (maybe 3 months again).

A great team...

I'm just about to start my term as MCP... My transition is going really well, and the most important thing, I already have 4 more members in my team :), Antje from Germany, Dan from UK, Mario from Ecuador and Risho from Slovakia, great individuals. I've been talking to them through emails and chats...

I'm really glad 'cause they are extremly motivated to come here and work a lot for AIESEC in Venezuela with me. They have a lot of great ideas and experience inside and outside AIESEC. I'm creating a lot of expectations about our results thanks to the team I got. Now we're just waiting for the last member of the team, someone responsible fro Finance ('cause I'm not going to do that!)

Anyway... I also want to say that, again, 'cause of Aine I'm writing these words... You have no idea how dificult is for me to get use to this life-news spaces... I wont promisse again that I'll do my best 'cause you will think that I wont do it.. So, see you later...
