LADIES AND GENTLEMEN...VALENTINA PIAF!

IS IT TRUE WHAT I'M WATCHING?

It has always called my attention how low can people go. But this is something a little...hilarious, and terrible as well. We have all heard the story of that man known as "El Profeta de Peñalolèn" (Peñalolèn's Prophet) or the selfnamed prophet Jacob, eventhough his name is Hugo. He doesn't live in Peñalolèn anymore by the way, he now lives in Champa ( note that between Champa and "chanta" there's only one different letter) Chanta : fraude. Last night while watching the news-as always, something that I can't help- surprisingly there "HE" was. It happens that now the "prophet" is going to have his 7th wife...why? beacuse a more than naive woman prayed and asked to get pregant with a girs, and what is her way to say thank you???...of course! by giving HIM her maiden and virginal daughter who is going to be 18 soon. The law can't do anything, she's going to be 18. But besides this...it's the 21st century we are living in!!!! for God sake!!! after watching the news, I though, anything could happen. Maybe I will create my own church and I'm going to call it...The Last Drinkers of the 8th Day ( ?? just to name it some way). Let's face it, human race is sometimes stupid and maybe there are some who just want to be stuped, it's easier. But, if being like that is going to get me a big and beautiful house, a great salary and even sex...forgive but I'd rather be me, no money, my house, but I choose thinking. And another thing...the guy is...how can I say it...soooooo atractive, you can not say no to HIM.

P.S. Please note some sarcasm in my words, if you couldn't identify them, here they are: "HIM" and "sooooooooo atractive", unless you think neanderthal is hot!

AUTUMN

Autumn. What can we say about autumn? is it boring? it's not as popular as summer, not as "creepy" as winter and absolutely not as happy as spring, isn't it? but however, there's something I think autumn has that no other season has: it makes me want to be at home. It's the only time of the year that I want to see rain- not to get wet of course-and have a big cup of hot chocolate. At this time I'm sitting in front of my computer writing this, Valentina is playing with her toys and every now and then she comes closer and ask me something that I can't understand but I can guess. I'm feeling a little bit cold but it's not so unpleasant, it's the perfect way to enjoy this weather. I should be just coming home from work but I'm enjoying this thanks to my morning sickness and my brother's influenza, which is not so nice when you're pregnant, that's why I had to be here instead of going to work and then to my mum and dad's to take Valentina home. Now, I'm going to stop writing because my little girl wants me to put a little tiger on ...I don't know where but...I can guess. Happy Autumn!

FATIGUE...

Oh God...could I ever feel worse? Is it the pregnancy or just me? the fact is that I've felt tired, but Tired...(with a capital T). Only today has been an almost normal day, despite of the bus strike,everything was almost ok.

From now on I think I have to take care of myself, but seriously. After all...there's someone else inside me, and another one beside me, I mean Valentina.

IT'S GOING TO BE 4 OF US NOW!!

Yes, it is. It seems very strange to me, I'm just trying to get used to the idea that by the end of the year it's going to be four of us. Do you know what it means? It means that eventhough we are going to feel tired, our lives are going to change... a lot. It means that we're going to be even happier than before. Two days ago we went to the doctor for an ultrasound, and there he/she was. The difference now is that Valentina was also there with us, so she could look and say hello. Today when I was watching that tape, she came closer and said " look! brother!" can you believe it? she is growing up, and she is understanding everything, so when the moment comes we will be ready for this new member of the family. Welcome little one!

OH...HOLIDAY...

One of my favorites words is "beach", and by "beach" I instinctivly think of Guanaqueros. Yes, the place where I go every single year since 1996, and dispite of jokes and everything, I don't think I would change it, those who have been there know it. Searching in the web I found too many people who use to go there and they think as I do. Anyhow...the point is in two more days my 2008 holiday begins, and I'm as anxious as always. I already miss the beach, seafood, sand, and well...everything, so for those who stay...this little present about our 2007 holiday: enjoy the view.
