Esta foto, del 2002, un poco antes de establecerme en Montreal. Es en crucero que hice cuando visite New Orleans en el 2002.. Cuando aquella ciudad estaba llena de furor que trae el carnaval.
Esta otra es en Octubre del 2002, en el grupo de baile: "Escencia del Peru" .. Amigos del Peru y del mundo, compartiendo el amor hacia la musica y hacia el folklor peruano.
Se me ve bien de cholita no ??.. Se me sale el mote!!, jajaja, con mucho orgullo, auque haya nacido y crecido en Lima, mis padres vienen de un distrito llamado Huambos, en el departamento de Cajamarca.. bueno, por algo me escogieron no ?, jajaja.. La verdad, adoro todo tipo de baile y mas aun si este forma parte mi origen, mi herencia ;)
Bueno, ahora siguiendo con la secuencia: Esta es en Diciembre del 2002.. de regreso de visita en Lima, con amiga Gina, las dos llegaditas de Montreal a pasar el tiempo con nuestras familias!! :)

Holidays in Peru
I had a great time of holidays starting on December 21st until January 9th. I came back to my origin country: Peru the ancient Incas Land
I gave a big hug to my father and my mother.. and in the way home, I saw the streets, some of them have changed some of them remained the same and some of them were completly new to me.
The "nostalgie" touch me that day! when I saw my house, my home and bedroom again (since years).
I reviewed my album of pictures, I could remeber how I grew up, all my childhood and my past last years in Peru, everyhing in a Photo Album.. which almost made me cry. It was as if all the memories I left there were waiting for me till this time... They made me meet my paths, my heritage.
I met some few friends and I didnt have time to meet others .. I met some other people .. who seemed to be nice and open minded, but when talking to them very openly... I refelt their openless sprit and all the machist stuff I wanted to get rid off .... I remebered who I was some time ago ..or who I was forced to be .. A girl with no opinion which didnt have the right to express her own opinions cause she would have risked to be judged in a very bad manner.... This situation has a name: "The machism" .. I encountered again this kind of situation and I said "Hello!" and "Good Bye, Freedom is my right".. but of course, this was a tiny issue that didnt caused me so much pain.
Well, regarding the places I visted: Los Organos (a beach town in Piura) and Mancora (in Tumbes).. Everything there was awfull, I enjoyed every single moment there.
I also made a tour into Lima, to some turistic places, famous parks and places ... And of course.. peruvian food..Sincerely, we have the BEST STUFF, I enjoy more than 20 different kind of dishes... And of course, I also enjoyed of folklore music and dance
Well, what else can I say: My mother and my father is all that I have, I missed them a lot, and fourtenately I saw them again....
I dont have sisters and I would have very much like to have one.. just a stable person close to me. Things would be better cause she would be a girl as me, but there's no sisters in my life... I enjoyed a lot my holidays ..and even if there're lots of better things that make you remember who you are, there are allways things or at least a little clue that makes you remember why you went so far!...(The othe face of the coin) .. This remainds me about what a peruvian folk, living in the states told me: "We will allways have a foot on the land where we are right now, and the other.. in Peru"
Abortion in PeruWell, first of all this is not my favorite subject of conversation , but some times you get involved on it and there's no way to run away from.
As many of you may know, I live in Montreal but I am from Peru, a country where catolicism is mostly practiced and abortion is forbidden by governement and it's not well accepted by the society there.
I had a "friend" there, called Antonio, that's how I'm gonna call him, he got pregnant... or should I say: Her girlfriend got pregnant.
Anyway, my friend Antonio, even if he had a professional degree, he tried to do his best to survive in a country were there is lack of jobs. He was unemployed for months, and her girlfriend was unemployed for about a year. Both of them planned to study, cause due to the unemployment situations, employers become more and more picky regarding the educational background.
Well, they had good intentions ("
The buenas intenciones esta lleno el infierno") . Now she is /was pregnant, she doesn't/didn't want the baby, my friend wanted to have it but neither he nor her girlfriend had a peny to "
keep him alive".
He offered her to support the baby, but she was really scary about her economical situation, she didnt want to be a single-mother, she didn't want the baby unless they get married. Antonio loved his freedom, he wanted to be responsible for it, but he didn't want to marry her. ... And !
Abortion in Peru is not legal.. which it means, there are lots of places that can offer that "ilegal" service,
none of them are secure!.She took 2 pills, the supplier said she would abort.... it failed! .. They insisted, they got a breverage which she drunk it up, and ... we dont know yet if this is gonna work... but If it doesn't
Antonio will take her to any clandestine chirurgical center so that they extract directly the baby from her. .. They will do it, I know they will..and more now than before.. they say the baby can already be damaged for those thinks she drunk ...The decision is taken!
I always analyzed the pros and cons of that decision if I was directly involved, I was always against abortion, but besides that, I wouldn't want to bring a child whithout the moral support of a father, or a child whose father is a jerk or a "pendejo" (excuse my language). No, I'm not Antonio's girlfriend, but I must say I would have used nextdaypills because if this had happened..but abortion..?I tried to persuade him to look into other alternatives but without success.
I made some research into internet and I was touched by the picture I posted on this blog, which I found on:
http://www.mttu.com/abort-pics/This is really more than a coincident!!
... on that site I found this picture, the picture of this blog. I saw that picture and I said to me: This is it! and when I checked the picture I was surprised to know that the baby had between 6 and 7 weeks, EXACTLY the same time that Antonio's baby has! (or should I say had! ) ?
Please, feel free to post you opinions and comments!! I know this is a controversial subject...
Sorry if I don't write in spanish (for my peruvian folks) .. I'm trying to get to most of people!
Thank you guys!
Una breve presentaciónYo, de diferentes perspectivas: Apasionada de la vida, a veces timida, a veces muy expresiva.
Intelectual en el trabajo y libre y fugaz durante las noches boemias.
Adoro el baile, y este representa para mi una expresion corporal artistica que puede conjugar diferentes ritmos hacia un solo fin : permitir al hombre expresarse en cuerpo y en alma.
Por que :
The Cinnamon flower ? , La respuesta es: Chabuca Granda, cantautora de musica criolla peruana, compatriota mía, cuya cancion popular: "La flor de la Canela" ha marcado en mi desde muy pequeña un sentimiento de amor y pertenecia hacia la historia del suelo que me vio nacer y crecer Lima-Peru.
