and we're back!

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

now we've come to the second trimester
and i feel alive again
strong, full of energy, of ideas
it's me again

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
if it is a boy or a girl
... still some weeks to go...

we also found out that
we have to go back to london
by the end of this year
which is pretty exciting... and scary!

so... i'm back
and will be posting again soon

thanks for stoping by
and ... happy easter!

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

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

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!

3 years!

last wednesday was our 3rd wedding anniversary
and it feels like such a small number for so much that has happened in this 3 intense years

lots of movement
lots of change
lots of places
lots of people
lots of experiences
lots of trips
lots of sorrow
lots of joy
lots of anxiety
lots of relax
lots of nice food: old and new
lots of games
lots of friends: old and new
lots of projects
lots of doubts
lots of music and dance ;)
lots of talk

3 different countries in three anniversaries
2005-wedding-Santiago-Chile
2006-1st-London-UK
2007-2nd-Khajuraho-India
2008-3rd-Buenos Aires-Argentina

I'm happy to keep building stories with you <3!

mwa!

it's just water falling from the sky!

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!
