Fiestas patrias

These Fiestas Patrias were different, normally I am alone and only go out with friends, but this year was the first one since we moved in together with my girlfriend. There were not so many days off for me because I had to go to my internship on the 16th and 17th, but on the 17th when I got to the apartment my girlfriend and my sister-in-law made empanadas de pino, I helped them finish putting them together. On September 18 we went early to my mother-in-law's house, she made a delicious barbecue, after lunch we started drinking and returned to our apartment at 1 am.

On the 19th we slept a lot and in the afternoon, with my girlfriend we went to a friend of mine's house. Most of my group of friends were with their girlfriends, but we got along well with each other. In the evening we went to a gay disco, called “Limón”. We arrived at the apartament at 7:00 a.m. the next day, we had a great time, but i got sick to my stomach. We tried to rest all the 20th and 21st to be fine on the 21st at night, because the 22nd in my girlfriend´s birthday, and we wited for 00 at a party with her friends, I didn´t drink anything and she wanted us to be lying down resting and smoking all day on her birthday.

5 Favourites

 The song I am going to share is Sal a Caminar by Antidoping, it is a reggae song that I have known since I was very little, I talk about trying to reach happiness by yourself and that this is a road to travel, it also talks about being with the people that make you well and contribute in your life. My favorite phrases are “Don't stop the course of being happy” and “Give a little bit of your heart to those people, who believe a little more in you”, I listen to it or sing it in my head when I am very collapsed and remember that I do everything to try to have a better life. 

I have many favorite movies, one of them is Avatar, released in 2009, it is a science fiction movie with a lot of use of space effects, where they create large blue humanoids that live in harmony with nature, the Na'vi tribe. The main theme is, how the human race tries to exploit the tribe's natural resources, regardless of their lives and the love they have for their land. I fell in love visually with the special affections, and how they reflect the tribe's beliefs and rituals.

A piece of technology I use a lot is my hair clipper, it was my family's, because most of us have shaved hair at the back and sides of our heads. When I came to Santiago in 2021, it remained among my things because I was the person who used it the most, I was not going to come back for months, so my family bought another one and I have the old one. I need help to shave the back of your head, so many people have used it to help me. I'm very fond of it, it still works well and never gets lost. 

The first time I read a book without the obligation of school, it was because I was determined to read a book of my own free will and I found “Sexual Anarchy, Feminism and Homosexuality” by Johanna Elberkirchen. From the first page I was shocked, it is a very strong book, of a woman shouting out the injustice that her gender has suffered by men. She talks about many taboo topics without filter, prostitution, rape, parenting, work, and in general everything that women have kept quiet and endured for years.

I have a necklace that I wear every day, without fail, it is a thin chain, with a shiny circular jewel. My mom had a twin sister who passed away in her 35 year old in 2019, she was the one I always considered my mom. It was very hard when she got sick and passed away a few months later, some time later my cousin, her daughter, gave me a necklace that belonged to my aunt many years ago. Since I got it I wear it every day, it makes me feel protected, I squeeze the pendant every time I feel bad or anxious, it is as if she is always with me.  

A Good Friend

 Parte 1: Summary

Friendships are very important for mental and physical health, during any period of life, as children, at school or work, even online. A friendship arises from common interests and enjoying spending time together. We learn to think about other people, even if they are different from us. This is why the UN declared July 30 as its International Day of Friendship in 2011. After the first idea of a celebration in 1958, the World Friendship Crusade lasted a week. It was organized by Dr. Ramón Artemio Bracho and his friends in Puerto Pinasco and Paraguay. Then it spread to different countries that celebrate it on different days, between July 20 and the first week of August. Others celebrate it on February 14. People usually celebrate this day by getting together with their friends and giving each other small gifts, or sending cards and greetings over the Internet. 

Parte 2: A Good Friend

My 4 legged old man, his name is Jupiter, but I call him Pupi, Chupiter or Mi Vaquita. He is 9 years old and his birthday is January 8, when he is happy he likes to lick a lot of fur, that's why I call him Chupiter and I call him Vaquita because he is black and white and he likes to eat grass. I met him because his mother is my older cousin's dog, she had a litter of 6 puppies and I kept the oldest one, he was very sweet to give him as a present and the family was very fond of him. When you meet him he is very scary, his bark is loud and it seems that he is going to bite you, especially men, but he has never bitten anyone, he only defends the house. He is very friendly, he likes affection and to lie down all day, he doesn't like to go for walks, he is happy inside the house and in the yard. When we lived together he would stay with me all night while I smoked out the window and listened to reggae, then we got cold and he would cuddle under the sheets with me, he would make a nest in my feet and stay there. Now that he is older he doesn't like the smell of cannabis, but he still sleeps with me.
