Thunderstorms. How I have missed them! Says the girl who has always been terrified of them. It was but when I was expelled from both my mothers’ and my brothers’ bed as a safe place during thunderstorms that, around the age of 12, I decided I had to do something…

Continue reading →: The Perfect HousewifeIt’s not even 10 am and I have already cleaned the entire house, done the laundry, emptied and stored the suitcases, and I even have had time to drink various coffees. It must be that I have finally become the perfect housewife? Maybe the fact that we had just arrived…

Continue reading →: Loosing the NorthI am -literally- counting the days to go home. I have been away for so long, that I have lost count of the weeks, and that I can’t figure out wether it is either spring or autumn, wether we are going towards summer or winter. It is a strange feeling.…

Today is Dia de la Memoria, another public holiday. If it weren’t for my school, this day would probably have passed like any other Sunday. Quiet, relaxing. But exactly on this day we were send out by our teacher of ‘fotoreportaje’ (something like photojournalism) to shoot this event. First of…

Ok. This is of course a subject that can’t be missed. We have a new pope. He is Argentine. I am an immigrant in Argentina. So he is kind of ‘my pope’. Although I really didn’t see it like that at all, quite on the contrary. I was out having…

Continue reading →: Thats what they all do! (cosi fan tutte)
In other words, this is about Mozart’s famous opera, which is probably my favorite. Although it doesn’t have -in my opinion- the best arias (I love arias), I just love the story of this one and the fact that is funny. Its an opera buffa. Considering it is quite a long…

But not for Christmas (as in ‘Driving home for Christmas’, by Chris Rea). Christmas seems so long ago, but it was only at the beginning of the summer holidays (yes we live in the Southern Hemisphere). At that time we were just getting started to relax and enjoy the end…
