Post 5. A Photograph you like

Hi! Today I'm going to talk about my favorite photograph. 

I know it was taken with a terrible camera and also the light is terrible, but this is one of the last pictures with my grandma. I don't remember who tooked it, maybe one of my sisters, but was in February, 2015, in el Tabo, Chile. 
My Grandma's name was Balsamina, like the flowers, but we called her "Lela". She was like a fairytale grandmother and a brave woman. She left her abusive husband with two kids and pregnant in tough times for women, and she also loved the ocean.
This was in the afternoon, and a cold wind started, so I lent her my scarf for cover her. That day I went with her to dip our feet in the sea, and suddenly she told me longingly and with tears in her eyes "This is the last time that I'm going to see the sea". I hold her hand and told her that we already have planned the next year vacations in a house with ramps for her wheelchair and I promised to her that we will be there next year seeing the waves. She just look at me and smile. 
She was right, she pass away just on February, 2016, just one week before the vacations. 
We all loved to her so much, and still loving her, I miss her every day with her brights eyes. When I got pregnant always dreamed about her, she would have been so happy with her great- grandson.  She is my role model, I wish I could have just some more minutes for lie down with her, but I will always remember her with her sweet smile.

Post 4 "Tv shows and series"

I really love series and Tv shows. I have had a lot of favorites series like Breaking Bad, Orange is the New Black, La Casa de Papel, etc. Right now I love RuPaul Drag Race, I just finshed season 10, and now I have to see the All Star's seasons 3 and 4. What I love more about the drag race is the competitors. Some of them have very shocking life stories, I think that see this TV shows help us to know how hard is the life when you are not in the mold that this society imposes. I really hope that this  midsets change and that we all could walk free and not be afraid for the streets for just being who we are. I also love too see how them makes her clothes and make up. 
Nevertheless, I think that my favorite serie of all times is How I Met your Mother. It's so funny and I love it. I have saw this series like a hundred times. I am not a fan of the end, but there are a million of things in the storie that make me forget it.

I really recomend How I Met Your Mother for this days when we need to escape a little for reality, but now is only in Amazon. So if you only have Netflix I recomend for laughing Brooyn Nine-Nine. If you don't have neither, Malcolm in the middle Is also very funny .  
I would like to see Vis a Vis, but the chapters are so long, so I just have seen 2 of them making pauses when my baby sleep.
Wich  TV shows or serie do you recommend?

Post 3 My favourite piece of technology

Hi! Today we have to talke about our favourite piece of technology. It's really hard for me to choose one, at first I thought about television, becouse I love soap operas, also we have Netflix on tv, and we love to see RuPaul's Drag Race. Nevertheless, I think that this is becouse the quarantine, before covid 19, I did not see a lot of tv like I do now.

So, if I think about my life before covid, I believe that my cell phone is my favourite piece just because it allows me to be in contact with my baby, his paternal grandmother took care of him when I went to the university and for me was very hard and sad, so the possibility of get in contact with them was very important for me. Also I used it for the long way home, I listened to the music and then I felt the time run faster.
The first time I had a cell phone was becouse I went a school far away from home, so my aunt give me one to be on touch, the fisrt time that I received a call I was terrified becouse I thought something went wrong with my leg, like Parkinson or something.

Nowadays I don't use it very much becouse when I'm not in classes I'm taking care of my son, and I don't want that he become in a technology addict. But when he sleep, or playing with someone else I love to see Instagram and Youtube videos. Also I talk with my mom who is staying in her work in Las Condes because Covid and with my sister who lives in Los Ángeles.

Sometimes my cell phone become in the moment with my own, now that I am a mom, so my life without it will be different, but would not be the end of the world to me, I could find another thing to do now, but without it in my normal life I would probably feel very anxious about being far from my baby and don't know if everything is ok.

Post 10 >> Some reflections

This first semester 2020 has been very hard. Of course a lot of good things happened, I'm really happy about spending time with my baby,...
