sopaipilla' pasá'

sopaipillas y pebre

it's been cold lately
and being at home most of the time
i had a craving for sopaipillas

so my sister came
and we cooked
sopaipillas con pebre
and sopaipillas pasadas

a punto de ser sopaipillas

they were just amazing
and gave me the sense of comfort i needed
they reminded me of those cold rainy days
of my childhood
when i would come back from school
and there would be sopaipillas
it made me so happy!

sopaipilla' pasá' y con pebre

viva chile
viva la lluvia
y vivan las sopaipillas!

hablando de muñecos



mi linda amiga Lore
hizo un post hace algunos dias
acerca de un monito
que nos mando de regalo
para nuestro bebé
(acabamos de saber que es hombre... yey!!!)

aqui van mis fotos de ginger
lo llamamos asi
por que nos parecio que
se parece mucho
a una raiz de gengibre

me encanta!!!
y estoy segura que nuestro baby
(sea cual sea su nombre... pobrecito aun no sabemos)
lo va a adorar tambien

gracias lorelinda
tu sabes que eres
una de mis fuentes de inspiracion

llevo tanto tiempo pensando...
que hacer
por donde empezar
hacer algo nuevo
algo distinto que me haga feliz

y he pasado asi mucho tiempo
con mil ideas
pero muchos, muchos miedos

siempre que quiero arrancar
a hacer algo
me acobardo
en el mismo momento en que me lo planteo

hoy, nuevamente
me paso lo mismo
leyendo un post de noe
quise animarme y empezar
pero acobarde en ese mismo instante
espero que escribirlo aqui
me ayude a ponerlo en practica
y salir de mi estancamiento

me voy a anotar como
ayudante de the toy society
... en cuanto tenga mi primer juguete
les cuento
:)

morning-baires3

i know, i know
i've been away for quite a while
the first couple of months of pregnancy
where a bit difficult
i didnt feel liek doing anything really
soooo tired, and feeeling soooo bad

and i feel alive again
strong, full of energy, of ideas

my belly is growing
it is really mazing how it grows everyday
i cannot feel the baby kicking yet
and we are so anxious about finding out

... still some weeks to go...

by the end of this year
which is pretty exciting... and scary!

so... i'm back

good news

good news

oh my god!! yes, yes, yes...
i'm pregnant and i can't believe it
we are just so happy
and excited about it
also quite scared
as we didn't have a good experience
last year...
but, i'm pregnant!!!

yesterday we had our first sonogram
and we could see it
it's like a small bean-like baby
measuring 9mm
and with a heart that runs like mad horses
it was just so moving, exciting, touching,
there's really no worlds for it

so, i'm gonna be a mommy
in september
already started knitting
like crazy!

it's a new begining
it's gonna change our lives
it's so frightening
and wonderful all at the same time

what else can i say
i'm extatic

advice anyone?
knitting patterns to share?
clothes patterns?
ideas? anything?
i feel like i want to do so many things...

sentimientos encontrados

cueca a las 12

fuimos a chile a pasar la navidad y año nuevo
con nuestras familias y amigos

es tan raro estar en Chile!
y sobretodo en Santiago
me produce una tremenda sensación de pertenencia
pero una pertenencia especial
no mi pertenencia a Santiago
sino mas bien la sensación
de que todo ahí me pertenece
las calles, las plazas, las casas
los autos, el aire contaminado, los árboles
la gente, mi gente!

pero a la vez tengo una triste sensación de extrañeza
como una mirada mas distante
mas crítica, como desde fuera
-una caraterística que, por cierto, critiqué muchas veces en otros-
la outsider, que está como desenchufada y descontextualizada
un cierto desconcierto, como de no entender bien
no entender mucho la ciudad y su crecimiento
(sobretodo en la cantidad de malls y strip centers)
o la forma de vivir que impone esa ciudad
una sensación de no compartir
finalmente de no pertenecer

siempre al vovler a partir
me siento dividida, ambivalente
no sé si quisiera quedarme
o salir arrancando
no sé si quisiera ya instlarme ahi
y volver a pertenecer
o me da miedo perderme
en sus imposiciones y demandas

es una sensación incómoda

será que alguna vez
volveré a sentir
que pertenezco a algún lugar?

sing along

:S

last night i performed for the first time in front of an audience
wow!!!
it was so amazingly fun!!!

i've always been into singing
but never actually had singing classes
the times i tried to sing in front of someone
i would be so nervous
that my knees would tremble
and also did my voice
but last night... oh! last night

i've been in this singing classes since april
the tutor was great
the guitarrist was so fun
the poeple in the class were fantastic
all different people
going there only for the fun of singing
none of us is set to be a professional singer
so we just supported each other
and had fun together
once a week

i just cant believe how much fun i had
i wasnt even nervous
i was during the day
but strated having fun
once the concert started

i feel big and proud of myself
i could overcome my insecurities
i even had the guts to ask friends to come
and they did
i that felt great

and to go even further
in challenging my own fears... here you go (pass: mejillas)

i'm happy!

it's just water falling from the sky!

rain in spring

yesterday we got caught in an heavy summer rain
and we just stood in a corner for like 45 minutes
just watching and taking pictures (r. filming)
watching the people getting wet
watching the streets get filled with water
the people looking confused, amazed, funny
we stayed there until the water went up to our feet
and then we walked home
got here completely soaked!
had a hot shower, cofee and medialunas
and watched a film

it was a perfect rainy day!

mornings

morning-baires2

i don't know what is it with mornings and me...
it seems like we've always had a very intense relationship.

when i was younger i used to have difficult mornings, i was really moody, cranky... my friends wouldn't dare talk to me!

with time i've come to love the early time of day...

breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, the one i enjoy the most as i wake up really hungry and also is one of the only meals i usually have on my own... i love having a big cup of coffee and milk and some times cereals+yogurt+honey, or fruit, or toasts+butter. now that spring and summer are coming this way i'm hoping to have more strawberries and also avocado on toasts yummy!!! that's a very chilean thing and i just love it!

i love the nice tranquil feeling of waking up early, the silence, the chill, the idea of having the whole day ahead of me. i like to think of people rising to their own life, of the streets starting to be filled with people, of children waking up for school

i love to have time to enjoy mornings, to slowly begin to get in touch with reality. i try to give myself that time, but i go to bed soooo late!

but most and above all i love the morning light!
that crisp, bright and gentle light of a new day

white balance

wb

si, creo que ultimamente desde la perdida del baby
he andado con los blancos medio desbalanceados
eso me hace ver las cosas mas azules
con menos tonalidades cálidas

y cuando eso me pasa me dan ganas de arrancar
por que me empiezo a perder
y anhelo ir a un lugar lleno de colores
me cuesta vivir en el azul

por suerte ya llegó la primavera
mis blancos se están rebalanceando
y empieza a aparecer el color!
las hojitas nuevas en los arboles
los dias de sol y brisa
las florcitas

happy spring everyone!

yujui!!!!!

the greene's house

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
guau... cuanto tiempo ha pasado desde la ultima vez que escribi por estos lados!!!! y cuantas cosas han pasado en estos meses.
uff! los ultimos años de mi vida han sido tan intensos, que me pierdo. para todo el mundo es igual? les pasará a todos que sus dias, semana, meses, años, se llenan de cosas nuevas o sera que en nuestro caso por el hecho de estar viviendo en distintos paises nos pasan tantas cosas... me imagino que si!

bueno creo que empezare por ponernos al dia...

** la utltima vez que escribi estabamos por cambiarnos de casa, nos ibamos a ese departamento soñado en palermo... teniamos todo listo y finalmente en el mismo dia del cambio no resulto y tuvimos que cambiarnos a otro depto, muy comodo y me queda muy cerca del trabajo... fue dificil acostumbrarnos por que esta en otro barrio y no era lo que mas queriamos pero bueno, tuvimos que adaptarnos a la fuerza y la verdad es que es lindo!!!

** tuvimos muchas visitas: mis suegritos, pablo y la paz, carlitos y la vale, cox y la carola, el guaton y la cote, la fran y matias, la mª paz, la isi y la maca, mi papá y el nico, mi mamá y la chica y todas las locas de mis hermanas que no se quedaron en mi casa pero que hicieron temblar a buenos aires (fue tan, tan, tan entretenido)

* el 11 de junio nació manuelito!!! y fuimos a chile a verlo. antes de partir termine su chaleco que habia empezado en febrero... uf! soy tan lenta para tejer, pero en fin quedo precioso (con algunas dificultades de tejedora primeriza pero lindo al fin).

detalle

fue tan emocionante conocerlo por fin! , es tan lindo... y ademas nos pidieron que fueramos sus padrinos... aaaaaaaaa fue increible! es una belleza mi enano precioso. despues volvimos a ir a chile en agosto para su bautizo 0:) Ya vendrán sus fotos!

** para r en terminos laborales ha sido un buen año. con la revista ha tenido mucho exito, lo que se concreto con una alianza con una universidad chilena. este ha sido un tiempo de mucho reconocimiento que se lo merecia y lo necesitaba... te felicito mi amor!

** hemos estado mas cerca de la caro y dami, nuestros amigods argentinos que nos presento cotesin! para nosotros ha sido muy rico irlos conociendo y darnos cuenta que tenemos tanto en común! :)

** despues tuvimos un episodio lindo y triste. quedamos embarazados y despues de 9 semanas de ilusiones y alegría lo perdimos! ha sido muy duro recuperarse de este golpe. a mi personalmente me ha removido bastante el piso que estaba empezando a afirmarse bajo mis pies... he vuelto a sentirme mas insegura, triste, perdida.
he empezado denuevo a pensar en que quiero irme, que no se si quiero hacer lo que estoy haciendo, he vueto a cuestionar todo
creo que algo que me ha acompañado a lo largo de los años y que talvez se ha vuelto mas dificil en los ultimos años es una tremenda dificultad para disfrutar, me paso tanto tiempo pensando en lo que paso y lo que va a pasar que no logro disfrutar de lo que hay en el momento presente.
este intento por volver al blog, es ver si me ayuda a centrarme mas en lo bonito de cada dia, en lo que hay y no en lo que no hay, re-descubrir lo que me gusta y que puedo disfrutar... en fin creo que la idea es poder descubrirme a mi misma en el proceso! ;)

** finalmente hace un par de semanas nos fuimos al tigre a la casa de mi "jefecita"... veniamos de dias y semanas de mucha tristeza y esos dos dias en el tigre nos hicieron tan bien para despejarnos, estar tranquilos, no exigirnos, solo dormir, caminar, y estar juntos. fue increible... gracias diana!

el capitan!


y bueno... fue el 18! nosotros aqui no pudimos celebrar mucho!
Salu!

hard to handle!



i can't believe it's taken me over a month to come back to my old routine and adjust in our new home!!!! it's true i'm working much more than i did before, and also taking yoga and singing classes.... but i can't seem to get enough time do what i like to do... taking pictures, having new ideas, reading lots and lots of blogs, starting new crafting projects and so on.
will take care of it... i need to!
