Ok, free topic? It's difficult, you know. I feel
like I have nothing to say right now. But I'm gonna talk about contingency.
Hmm, September 18th it's getting closer and I'm seeing how people are preparing
for that happy and loud time of the year. Supermarkets are full, people buying
pounds of meat and veggies to prepare barbecues and salads. Fondas and ramadas are
getting ready, also some families are hanging flags and all kind of things to
make their houses look pretty and really really chilean.
And I have to confess, that I feel kind of envy, of
seeing all the people motivated and happy. I'm not a boring person (I think), I
like going out, dancing and drink terremotos and all that kind of things, but
when the time comes, September 18th by itself, I never get motivated and I
totally prefer staying in my house, eating something, maybe watching movies or
whatever. Of course my family forces me to go out with them, to some place out
of Santiago and I don’t use to get bored, but I would prefer to stay home, cook
a little barbecue with family, listen to Victor Jara or Violeta Parra, while we
drink terremotos. Also, I don’t use to go out with friends, not because I don’t
want to, but with my family we use to go out, to places like Rancagua, Los
Andes, El Monte and we come back to Santiago really late, like 1 or 2 am.
Whatever, I don’t use to cheer up on this time of
the year, but at the end of the day, I do everything my family wants me to do. Never
mind.
