Go on, go on. Just walk away.
Go on, go on. Your choice is made.
Go on, go on, and disappear.
Go on, go on, away from here.

Come back, come back. Don’t walk away.
Come back, come back, come back today.
Come back, come back. Why can’t you see?
Come back, come back, come back to me.

The more you ignore me, the closer I get.

And there’s always been laughing, crying, birth, and dying. Boys and girls with hearts that take and give and break and heal and grow and recreate and raise and nurture, but then hurt from time to times like these.

And drop a smile passing in the hall, but there’s no...

And drop a smile passing in the hall, but there’s no laughs left ‘cause we laughed them all. And we laughed them all in a very short time.
Time is tapping on my forehead, hanging from my mirror, rattling the teacups, and I wonder…

Who are we? What we got? Are we a firework show?
Growing pale like a star that burnt out years ago. Stranger things have been, stranger things have gone,I find it hard right now to name you one. Tell me do something true and drop the fairy tales.

En verdad no sé quien sigue -o alguna vez siguió- mi blog en español, ni menos cuantos. Eso da un poco lo mismo a la hora de escribir cosas esporádicamente, así que aquí vamos.

Como ya se habrán percatado, ha pasado un año y medio desde que regresé a vivir a mi país natal, Chile. Cambié tierras escandinavas por brisas criollas y vistas hermosas del Océano Pacífico. A eso se sumó una nueva dieta vegetariana por razones morales, junto con buenos paseos y salidas en una bicicleta amarilla con azul. No les voy a mentir. No fue fácil tomar la decisión de volver y mantenerla para quedarme y armar una vida nueva acá, pero creo que ha sido un buen camino a seguir, a pesar de todos los tropiezos (que no han sido pocos).

Estos días me encuentro trabajando veinte horas para una aerolínea. Ya terminé mi primer año de arquitectura, aunque estoy en trámites de cambiarme de universidad por lo cual es incierto cuantos años más estaré realizando mi pre-grado. La próxima semana parto a un destino completamente desconocido para mi: Buenos Aires. ¿Por qué? Patrick se encuentra allá. Un chico escocés que conocí a mediados del año 2011 en Edimburgo, que luego vino a visitarme en Santiago. Creo que va a ser interesante irme de viaje al otro lado de la cordillera. Lo único que conozco hasta ahora en Sudamérica es Uruguay, junto con una visita muy apurada a Bogotá.

Pero en fin, tengo que cumplir con mis horas de sueño y dejar de bloggear a las casi 2 de la mañana de una calurosa noche de Enero. Hoy se viene pesado, porque saldré a rutear por primera vez con mis amigos y compañeros de la universidad: Germán y Gonzalo, a los cuales no veo desde hace unas semanas.
Aquí vamos. Espero seguir con esto pronto!

Rendezvous

Sat, 05 Jan 2013 14:57:48 -0300

You have occupied my mind for two straight months and some days now, since we accidentally met. There is certainly something super special about you that I liked. I still don’t know what this was, or what exactly made me play all my cards when I had the chance of doing so. You know, I rarely play cards.
You might as well think that this happens all the time, that is just another rendezvous with a random stranger you’ve only met a couple of times. It happens to me always. But something changed -thank you Jarvis- when we first met. Something changed because of the way you looked at me, with those sparkling green eyes, with that witty smile upon your face. Something changed because the way you talked to me, decided and close. We danced.

The music, the travels, the taking a cab together, the early walks and drives home, the heavy breathing, the whispers, the drinking from the same glass, the let’s leave now, the tension right before, the I’m not looking for anything serious, the minimal separation while talking, the jokes, the I’m going out with somebody else, the scent, the we can’t do this anymore, the wanting. Oh, so much wanting. So much wanting me with you.

But I know now it’s over. Last rendezvous.

Para combinar, para estar con vos, para descubrir y considerar, sólo me hace falta que estés aquí con tus ojos claros.

Back again

It’s been quite a while, I’m sorry for that.
You know when you’re approaching the end of a semester, and all the academic pressure comes as a snowball towards you at a stupidly fast speed. We all know that.

Things just keep on getting better after November, which I thought was going to be the highlight month of the year, but no. My final studio work exam wasn’t that good, and I got a bit low for that, but anyway, this last weeks I’ve met some very nice people, and I’ve been going out to quite good looking places. Some pretty awesome music’s been around as well. Ah, what a life!
Today, I mean yesterday because it’s past midnight, I got to know I’ve been awarded with a scholarship to attend a German language course in Berlin in February. Freaking amazing Berlin! (you can read my travel-diary entry about my trip to Berlin in 2010. look it up in the archive) I can barely wait for that. So now I’m making all the due arrangements to leave in late January.

So I ran out of ideas again, but they’ll be back soonish. There are so many things going on right now, and I feel so tremendously lucky. Super hard to explain. I’ll just have to wait and see.
Thanks for reading and keeping me strong on this! Cheers!

Hello! I'm thinking about applying to UWCRCN. I'm from Finland (Åland). I have a couple of questions though. Is it a lot of hard work? Because I tend to put a lot of pressure on myself, so I'm not sure if I could handle it. And also, do you have to know a lot about politics and enviromental issues and be really well-informed? And one last thing, did you miss home a lot? Thank you!

Thu, 20 Dec 2012 00:37:12 -0300

Hi!
Nice to hear from someone from Åland. I had a roommate that was from there, and a couple of friends as well!
The IB will be what you want it to be. I mean, it IS in fact a lot of work, but if you take it easy, it won’t get as hard. I mean, you will spend quiet a bit of time studying every week during two years, but it’s definitely a great program. You are your own measure source!

Mmm, about politics and issues related, I think it’s good to have a solid background, but you will learn so much more there. That’s for sure (at least that was my case). You at least should be interested.

I didn’t miss home, and I don’t say this quite easily. It was just the way it was, even though I love my family and I have a strong feeling of attachment to my home country. The thing is that RCN is simply amazing, everything about it. Sometimes it can get overwhelming, but there’s always a way to bare that pressure.

Write to me if you have any other question! Good luck with the app.
Cheers from Santiago!

“Of all the many men that were out that night, you walked in and stopped.
Of all the various places in the world, I got to be there. You were as well.
Of all the ways of having a decent conversation, we couldn’t really keep a distance.

You are like the morning breeze coming from the window while the sun is setting up. Like walking down old European streets, listing all the amazing places we will once get to see. Like drinking pink vodka while playing a game of chess at five in the morning. Like making out in the living room with its windows wide open. Like a subtle whisper before falling asleep.

Your eyes can set fire and I’m pretty sure about where I want this to get.”

Goshhhh, and I’ve only met you once!

It just came to my mind this one time we went out with Xavier and some other friends, I think Rafael was also there, and we had this terrible hangover on a beautiful sunday noon. It was sunny, and we were feeling terrible. Clearly the hard-boiled eggs didn’t help much to our stomach, nor the fresh orange juice, and we just prepared this super crappy soup I have brought from home. We sat outside Finland house to drink it out of cups. Miserable but tremendously lucky.

Hahaha, good moments those at rcn!
