Hi Pln, yeah it's really a paradox for me too. I see some friends of mine that are quite shy until they go to the the stage and perform a impressing singing at karaoke. It doesn't happen to me LOL because I don't have this gift of singing. I didn't know Rocha was shy too :)
I would like to see everyone here in this group at the karaoke LOL Hey Pablo, you showed up! You're a lucky guy working in a place surrounded by a green area. I think everyone would like to work in a place like that. Unlike you, I have been working downtown, where I have been taking about 3 hours commuting. Fortunately I have found a good way to spend my time in traffic, read English book. Time goes faster now!
