It has been a long, long time since I first entertained the idea of having a bilingual site. Three months ago, after many more of research, I finally decided to put hands on (due thanks to AZ). I've been working on this blog during my spare time since then.

Often times I take too long to deliver! However, this blog is almost ready, and there are no reasons for longer delaying its official opening.

So, welcome to It's shine time!

Those who know me can tell how hard I look forward to be the best on everything I try. That is fine, however, it unnecessarily puts me on continuous stress, and every too often makes me extremely careful to the point that it takes forever to deliver. In turn, that makes me feel slow, saddens me, and distracts me, causing more delays.

The worst comes when it is no longer fun, and I end up delivering either because I am fed up, ran out of time, or because I have to. The good thing, is that I don't usually give up, so at least I don't end up completely defeated. In fact, I seldom fail, and most times my work is outstanding.

So, what is this blog about anyways?

Nothing specific, it is my personal blog, that comes to replace the old one. Here I'll be sharing happenings, news, opinions, and thoughts.

I wanted my sites to be bilingual because Spanish is my mother tongue, whereas for the last 3 years I've been living on a mostly English speaking environment. On the one hand, I maintain strong links with my home country, so I expect that to be reflected on my blog. Besides, I feel responsible for creating content in Spanish, specially for topics in which Spanish is underrepresented. On the other hand, I need to improve my English, I want to be a functional part of the community where I live, and communication is fundamental to that end.

So, this space is where I'll be writing for leisure and learning likewise (consider this an invitation to help me improve my writing.)

The title of the blog is just a personal reminder that a good job doesn't have to be perfect, and it often feels better to do little perfectible steps at a time, than trying a huge perfect leap. Moreover, it is a reminder that there is no need for wings in order to take off, and every little step is important and worth doing. Thus any time is a good time to bring another two cents and start to shine on.
