Si cocinas no te enojes

Hombres y mujeres pueden cocinar pero una o uno que este de mal humor es mejor que no lo haga y opte por el ayuno, creanme, cocinar estando triste, nervioso o enojado afectan a la comida es como si lo que sientes le estuvieras transmietiendo a tus alimentos, si tienes un día de mierda pues sabrá horrible tu sopa o tu plato fuerte... Escribo eso porque un miembro de mi familia cocinó una sopa de maní y lamentablemente estaba con el enojo encima y  la sopa sabía a agua de maní...  Ya se, debería yo haber cocinado! Pero no pude, estaba ocupada en otras cosas. De todos modos aquí les dejo algunas fotos que describen un poco lo que estuve haciendo estos días.

 El domingo fui a las Alasitas! Es una feria de cosas en miniatura.

 Registro de mini documentos de identidad.

 Perhe!!

 Dinero falso que adorna las alasas.

Ya tengo Rayuela de Julio Cortázar!! Compré el libro en un lugar de baratija, las hojas se estaban saliendo y las pegué cada una al libro, después lo forré de una forma singular... Los  y las que me conocen pueden admitir que soy creativa pero con una lógica medio burda, ¡Así soy yo!

Translation
Don't cook if you're mad, believe me when I say that, the food would be horrible! Read the whole post with the google translator.

Don't you worry child!

These are some pictures that describe my weekend that was kind of interesting. On Friday afternoon I went to a Fairy Café, it was very amusing, there were trees inside of it, and thunder effects, I asked a glass of Ice tea, it wasn't good but the place was nice. Then on saturday I had classes with my little monsters at church. Then, On sunday I went to visit my aunt to the hospital whom I haven't seen  for a while.

So here are the pictures

 My little monsters with the bees that they made.

 The Fairy Café!

 Me.

 The lovely tree.

The spring is coming and I can feel the smell of flowers :)

Sentimental concerns

"Una campana impiadosa repite la hora y ine
hace comprender que vivo, y me recuerda, también,
que sufro.
Sufro un extraño mal que hiere narcotizando;
mal de amores, de incomprendidas grandezas, de
infinitos ideales.
Mal que me incita a vivir en otro corazón, p^ra
descansar de la ruda tarea de sentirme vivir dentro
de mí misma." Therese Willms Montt

If you wonder why the paragraph it's a passage of a book, this afternoon I read a piece of a lovely book written by Teresa Wilms Montt, a Chilean writer of the beginning of the 20th century, the way she wrote her books was amazing, she was a melancolic woman who committed suicide at the age of 28. I just don't  know why I'm attracted to suicidal writers, but it's something  that I can't describe because in a certain way I identify myself with them, it seems that they are writting for me, I don't know...Well, I know but I can't say  the complete truth of my desires.

By the way, I found this picture of me, it was taken last may in a party called Spear Wolf Party vol. 3, by Night Animals, and it was a surprise, I didn't notice that they took me a picture, I like it although I think I look like a Drag queen... hahahahha.

If you want to know more about this party visit their facebook page with the name of Spear Wolf Records.

Eat hamburguers!!

The importance of melodies

When I was a little girl I used to listen to my dad when he was rehearsing with his band or he was studying with his guitar, my dad is a musician but he is an empiric one, for me, my dad is a wonderful musician he makes the guitar talk and cry. Once, my dad told me that he would have liked to study Music, but there were two reasons to not doing that, his parents thought it was a bad idea and the second there wasn't a music career in my city.

As Plato said: “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.”  I'm sure that music make this world a beautiful place, do you imagine if there wouldn't be music? It's unimaginable, because music is in everything, in the nature, in the body, in the air. Listening to good music is a unique experience based in a bunch of mixed feelings.

 But let's focus on what I'm trying to say,  unfortunately Cochabamba, my city, doesn't have the career of Music in the University of San Simon, this university is public, I studied there Sciences Education and is one of the most important universities in Bolivia. However, there is a problem,  some authorities don't accept the program of Music so some people who want this project run as soon as possible ( because many people wants to study this career)  are asking for support signing a petition in order to show these authorities the great importance of this career  in Bolivian society. So please support this program signing in this link, many young people would be thankful for your support.

Today is la fete de la musique in Cochabamba, if you are here, well, go to some good pub and listen to good Cochabambinas bands.

Afternoon of art

yesterday I went to a wonderful cafe called Arte Urquidi Café, it was an incredible experience having known such a creative space, full of art and interesting things, the paintings are amazing and you can meet the artist called Cayano. If you come to Bolivia, visit Cochabamba and this lovely cafe, you'll have the most delicious pumpkin coffee, also the craft beers made by the owners. Arte Urquidi Cafe also is an art school where you can learn how to draw and paint paintings, I don't know if the word is correct. Here you have their facebook fan page.

I leave you with some pictures of this place. 

Cry if you want to feel release.

World of ideas

Have you ever wondered if you are living a lie? Have you ever wanted to break all the rules but you can't because of fears? Why changes are most of the time bad for some people? What is thruth? Have you ever wondered sometimes? If you want to change the world you have to make yourself many questions and you would realize that all the answers are inside you or  maybe through the wind that caresses you when you walk on the streets or in the laugh of a child or an old woman.

I wanted to write this little paragraph in order to start the revolution wich is a long process with up and downs but in the end I will feel satisfied because I tried.

Here are some pictures of yesterday. I'm going to take some pictures of me and show my diferent faces and moods.

 On sunday I cut my bangs and I know that looks awkward... But I'm starting to like it. Good advice don't cut your hair when you feel a little bit depressed.

Yesterday I was walking through a nice square in the downtown of Cochabamba and I found this interesting mural so I took a picture of it.

This square was a part of an old convent that became a museum. El convento de Santa Teresa is the name in spanish of that convent.

Have a nice day and pray, feel released.

Awkward funny night

Yesterday night I met with my friends Nona and Marisol, at the beginning we wanted to go to Oxid, a bar that plays electronic music, but we changed our minds and went to La Troje, it's nice place but the first fridays of every month is really crowded. I got a little anxious because I don't like to be surrounded by many people, and you couldn't walk freely and when you are in a crowded place, something happens... I accidently touched, unintentionally, a guy's something private... And believe me it's embarrassing  when that person is looking at you as an stalker... I said sorry and  I walked away... Then My sister, my friend Marisol and I wanted to dance and we went to a place called La Tirana and guess what, It was closed! Then it started to rain and there was no cab, we got wet and decided to go home. Here are some pictures of yesterday.

My friend Marisol and I.

My beautiful friend Marisol.

Me, Nona and Marisol.

I like this picture :)

These days are awkward, I'm nervious, sad, angry and I wish I were to another place... like in a Berlin café chatting with a dear friend who lives in Europe, he is now in Berlin, he was in a café with his girlfriend, and he was chatting with me by facebook, he told me he was there and I asked him if he could tell me how that place looked like, he was kind enough to explain every single detail.

These days I don't have any advice to give you, sorry. 

Good music made in Bolivia

I really enjoy listenning to Lounna Dazz, he's wonderful dj, and his from city!! There are amazing musicians here in Bolivia, specially in Cochabamba, I'll show you later more Bolivian bands.

Listen to this song called Delha (Malala).

Have a wonderful month :)

Alasitas

Yesterday I went with my friends and my siblings to the Alasitas, it's a fair where you can find anything in a tiny size, it has something to do with the  andean catholic syncretism. We had a great time, then we went to eat hamburguers and laugh about everything.

Here are some pictures.

Have a nice day, right now I'm about to make a decision. I'll tell you in a few days.

Tiataco

Today my sister, my friend Nona and I went to Tiataco, a small town in the outskirts of the city of Cochabamba, we went there to see the Mast'aku, is a celebration where you can see all the ceremonies that they do after All Saint day, they make several tables, full of food that the dead used to like.You can see, the wallunk'a that is a kind of ceremony to get a boyfriend or something like that, they do a lot of wallunk'as in the outskirts of Cochabamba and the cholitas (girls who are from the country) swing and they have to catch a basket of flowers that is hung in the middle of two big trees. You can see a lot of things there, they have typical food, chicha and guarapo (if you ever visit Cochabamba you have to go to the villages and try on these wonderful drinks that are made with corn and strawberry), it was nice day, I had fun. 

Here are some pictures 

 The Wallunk'a.

 The Mast'aku.

Look at these interesting cups.

 The dough for the t'antawawas, a kind of biscuit with different forms, since babies, stairs, animals, etc.

Nona and I made T'antawawas, Nona made a clown and I made a pencil and a sheet?

Te quiero Tanto, tanto, tanto

Listen to Lounna Dazz, he is a Dj from Cochabamba, I love this song :)

Golden saturday night

I had a great time with my friend Nona on Saturday night, we chatted a lot about our lives . 

I was released about something that was hurting me every single day... Sometimes it's not good to be hopeful in someone who feels insecure and doesn't know  what to do with his life, the best thing you could do is to move on with your life, just thinking about you, you can't fix other's existencial problems... It's hard to let someone go but it's the best way not to hurt or embitter. I don't feel guilty anymore, I don't regret all  the things that I've done.

I don't know what tomorrow will bring but I know what I want, and all I want it's to look for real freedom and enjoy the moments with people who make me happy. I don't know if I'm going to have my own family if I'll meet the man that I want in my life, a man who is confident and is able to share a life with me living in harmony, a man who will work with me in order to help others to have a life in freedom.

I have many projects that I have in mind when I come back and I need someone who supports me in all the things that I want to do and of course I'm going to support him in his dreams and projects. I'm eager to do my master degree in another country and I'm praying it will happen soon.  

I'm not happy but I'm not sad.

Here are some photos of my saturday night.

   

My friend Nona.

We went to a  bar called Oxid, and danced with all the mixes that this Dj made that night.

Dance with the wind and hug the wind.

A spring afternoon

 This afternoon I started to do the formalities to get my bachelor's degree. the day was a little bit strange. In the morning the sky was cloudy and I thought it would rain, but in the afternoon everything changed, the sky had no clouds and it was warm, so I decided to take a walk after doing the formalities. It's interesting walking in the streets there are so many things to see, the sellers, the flowers, the floor, the people walking very quickly. Cochabamba is a quiet city, and you don't see the typical chaos of the big cities, Cochabamba is unique, the breeze caresses your skin, you see a lot flowers, trees. I enjoyed this afternoon but I wanted a cup of coffee, sitting quietly in one of the best Cafe of the main square of this city.

 On the corner of the main square of Cochabamba.

 Near the university.

The main square and some flowers.

 Trying to look spontaneous... :P

It's tuesday night, listen french jazz and throw pieces of paper with messages to your neighbour's roof, but not threatening messages, funny messages .
