Fiestas Patrias



I’ve always been eager for Fiestas Patrias, mainly because I get to rest (which for me is just laying on my bed not thinking of all the things I have to do) and sleep a lot. And also because everyone is extremely happy during this time (maybe due to the alcohol haha) and that makes me happy too.

This year, I spent it more with my family. We went over my grandma and ate everything we could, specially ‘’empanadas’’ that she always makes, they are no doubt the best I’ve ever eaten. We went to the trustworthy Fonda in Parque O’Higgins, which is always good and well organized, so you can’t get lost and there’s about everything there, from food to drinks to handmade crafts. The only problem is that it was overcrowded (like always), but besides that it was great

I also went to another Fonda near where I live in Maipú, and honestly It was so boring and I was a little bit tired too, and I only wanted to go home. To make it even worse, there was way, way too many people there, you could barely walk without stopping every 5 seconds, it was horrible. 

But the best part of Fiestas Patrias, came the next day, when we had ‘’pastel de choclo’’!!. It’s my absolute favorite, I wish I could eat it every time of the year (which you can, but it’s not that common) and not just when September arrives. My mom makes it and I always like to help her, because I also really enjoy cooking. 

So, after all, I really enjoyed Fiestas Patrias this year. I got to spend time with my family, to sleep a lot and rest from doing works, even if it was just a couple days.

IT

Last weekend I went to see ‘’It’’ to the cinema in Costanera Center with some friends. To start, it was a chaos to be able to meet up all the six of us. We set an hour to gather in the subway, we said ‘’Let’s meet up there at 11:00-11:30’’, and so we did. Some arrived there at 11:00 and others nearly 12:00, so some of us had to wait almost an hour there! And the movie was at 12:00!! And obviously, there was still one of us who hadn’t got there yet, and worst, he didn’t have a chip on his phone, so he couldn’t receive or make calls and we weren’t able to contact him. By the time it was already 12:00, but luckily there was another cinema show at 12:40, but we still had to hurry, because we needed to buy the tickets and some food. So we were there, at 12:25 with no tickets and no food and only 5 of us. We finally decided to just go to the cinema, we thought that maybe the one who hadn’t arrived yet was in his way, or worse, in his home peacefully sleeping. We got there, and sudde...

DOGS

Dogs have always been called the men best friend, and it couldn't be more right, but for me, they are so much more than that. And as a dog owner (and lover) myself, I have experienced my whole life what is like to have a dog by your side and to love them deeply. So in this post, I'll write about dogs that I've owned. My very first dog was ''Tunga'', he was a crossbreed (of breeds I don't know) and he was quite small, but man, he was a fighter. He used to live more in the streets than in our home, but he always returned at night. I was too little when he passed away, but I know my family suffered a lot with his death, because he was just a great dog. There were another dogs in between, I believe so, (not sure if before or after the one I'm about to tell you), but they, for reasons I'm unaware of, they didn't live too long in our home.  Then came ''Tomy'', which we loved, but caused a lot of problems. He wa...
