Longing for ‘Nochebuena’
Christmas Eve is probably my favorite holiday of the year, even with everything that’s happening and sudden cancellations (let’s just skip this 2021 and 2020). And the evening dinner is definitely the thing I missed the most about not being home. If I could have ONE teleporting roundtrip, it would be to go home and…

An Omicron Christmas
They’re finally here! Christmas’ Eve and Christmas, possibly my two most favorite holidays. Pork and Turkey dishes, family gatherings, lots of desserts, presents and people are overall happier, that’s just a fact (well, omitting seasonal depression for the sake of this sentence). But this year — like the past one, shit— things are starting to…

Number 10
This one is going UP —to the main menu, I mean—. Well, it’s been 10 days and 10 posts since this whole ‘project’ started. One per day, just as promised, and keeping strong. First and foremost, I want to thank all the people that read my words and interact with the page on a daily…

Winter is not coming, winter is here
First day of Winter, whoop dee doo! Today is Tuesday, December 21, marking the winter solstice. When Earth’s Northern Hemisphere is tilted farthest from the Sun as possible. It’s known as the shortest day of the year, or the longest night of the year (reads like a glass half full scenario, but ok). Some cultures…

Chronicles of a severe procrastinator (pt. 1)
Let me start with the obvious. Yes, it says pt.1 because there will be more. First step in any recovery is recognizing you have a problem. Bear with me, please. I have to admit, I missed this feeling. Looking at the white screen of the processor (sorry, black. Because in this house we have everything…

An ocean exists in the space between our shoulders
It all started with a failed love story (doesn’t it always?) Excessive amounts of affections, unbridled passion and the naive hope of wanting it to be everlasting, where the laws of time have no authority and every day is unique, and you never want them to end. Until you start a new one, only to…

The difference between honesty and bullshitting is the dose
Recently I got asked: “How do I know you mean the words that are coming out of your mouth most of the time?” First I was surprised. Then got offended. But immediately remembered that the person in front of me hasn’t known me for a long time, at least the REAL part of me that…

The real story of a sharpened object (seriously)
Today it finally happened. An endless tradition for every chef since the first potato was sliced and thrown in boiling water. No, that’s ‘factually incorrect’ like a girl once told me before storming out of the room. […] for every human since the hunting of antelopes and gazelles over 1.8 millions years ago. A ritual…

The story of a sharpened object (or something like that)
I don’t consider myself a superstitious person, not even a mystic. But I definitely believe in an order. As I said in the other post, ‘actions and consequences’. Again, NOT a superstitious person, but there is an order, a balance to be upheld and respected. Easiest way to explain this would be some sort of…

Third time’s the charm
Made it to three! That’s a STREAK, “Ladies, gentlemen, and others” (thank you, Bowie. Thank you so much for everything.) Trying to set the tone, start a conversation, avoid rants. OOF! Love me a good one–topic well-researched rant. I’ll spare you — for now—. But it will come, wait for it. As sure as eggs.…
