The Girls of Churubamba are better than Ronaldo!

Today I thought about talking to you about brave women around the world and the Churubamba came to my mind.

In the Peruvian Andes, at an altitude of 4000 meters, the Indian Quechua women are trying to escape the hardship of their daily life by playing soccer.

Soccer allowed them to do something else besides bringing up kids, house working, laboring the lands and raising cattle. No, they have neither heard about Zidane and his head-butt at the Worlds, nor about Beckham and his underwear’s commercials, as they don’t even have electricity in those remote villages and the closest town lies at one hour distance. No, they don’t play in nice t-shirts and sneakers, but in their colorful traditional skirts and sandals. Each time that they score they’re all happy and they really have a laugh. I found myself watching them on tv and saying: come on Churubambas!

These women are still discriminated in their region and treated arrogantly by the mixed-raced people from their region(mix between the Spanish colons and the Indian population). That explains why they have less funds given by the Government and why they are paid almost nothing for their goods when they go to the market to sell them. They also barely speak Spanish and that’s another reason why they’re mocked so many times. Because of the soccer championship organized in the region and their winning against the mixed-race team from the town near, they acquired a sort of respect and started having a “voice” in their community.

Well, you might ask me, why I consider them even better than Ronaldo. The answer is simple:these women are playing soccer in the Andean Mountains, not for millions of dollars and a sickening adulation, but for PLEASURE and because they’re driven by an unmistakable PASSION.I found their mere joy really refreshing!

Hats off Churubambas!

 

 

The Other Three Types of Men+ The Bonus

 

I had to do guys some justice…though I feel that I am a bit too generous, I should actually leave them boil in their own water…:))) So here’re the other types of men, that I recommend you to meet if you have the opportunity! They’re pretty rare birds, but they’re not impossible to find.The Wonder Boy

* He’s the guy who makes everything possible! When he says that he’ll do something for you, he’ll really do it! Why? Because he’s like that! How? There’s no “how” for him, as he’ll always manage to get what you want.  You’ll hear that your favourite band will have a concert in a few days in your town and that the tickets are already sold out. The next day, the Wonder Boy will come with two tickets at your door and you’ll never find out how he did it. You’ll have an interesting project, but not enough money to finance it. The Wonder Boy will come up with a few sponsors on the list and your project will get to be done and again you’ll never find out how he did it. That’s who he is; a wonder! And you found him! He loves making the impossible possible, as that’s his reason of living and you’ll always live in a wonder world with him: He’s magic!:)

The Non Gescheft

* This is the guy who’s willing to deal anything besides his feelings for you, who thinks that there’s business to make in everything and yet he’ll not trade you for anything. To figuratively explain you about what kind of type of person I am talking, I decided to use the Yiddish term “gescheft”, which means business. So this guy means business a lot in his life, and yet he’ll always have time for you. You’ll actually be the one thing(person) that he’ll not think as a business. While you have shut the doors of your heart and have become all about appearances, he’ll have the courage to open them one by one and reveal you that there’s still love even in this “gescheft” world. He will also not give up on you for a misunderstanding or for a “yes” or “no”.  He’s the guy who learnt the lessons of his life, therefore he understands that you’re one chance in a billion that he wouldn’t want to miss it. Life’s too short to spend it alone in a fantasy world and he’s clever enough to realize it, that’s why he won’t just promise you the dream, he’ll make you live the dream and all that by his side.The classy gentleman who’ll make the fairytales become true life stories!

The Priest

* He’ll  care about how you’re doing and look for those options to make you feel better and more accomplished. You’ll receive every day  a love song from him and a text like: “Good morning, Wonder Woman!” (and he’ll mean it). If he offers you the best holidays of your life, then he’ll offer you the best holidays of your life, as he’ll focus all his attention on you, as he knows how lucky he is to have finally met you. He’s the one who tried all the “creams” made by all the laboratories in this world and knows very well that you’re that  regenerative and youthful cream that every face would dream to test it.  He’s all about persistance, and he’ll never renounce at you. He also knows that life can be a bumpy road with ups and downs and he’s strong enough to face all the hardships just to be with you. He’ll be decided, straight to the point, honest and he’ll mean no silly games. He’ll appreciate you for what you are and be proud of who you are. You’ll feel like always opening your heart as in a sweet confession with no judgemental thoughts at all.

Now I think it’s time to add the bonus  and that is the combination of the all three types of men listed above! A mix, a combo of the three types of men turns into the 4th Type of Man and we should call it the Jackpot Type:  “Only to be with you, I’m just a freak for you!”:) That’s the ONE you should meet!

An old woman gave me her “scooter” for two seconds, so I can take  a picture(see below).

I asked a stranger to take  a fast picture with me in a casino, as I wasn’t allowed to.

Love and care,

Your bragging girl

 

 

 

 

 

My Edelweiss!

« There’re billions of dicks, but only a few men on earth »(sorry for the bluntness of my words)…That’s what my Godfather wisely explained me one summer day…:)
I remembered his quote a few days ago, when I had to get my feet back on the ground and realize that there was a lot of truth in it…
So, there’s this question about love, honor, respect or just plain sex…

I actually don’t get it most of the time and I’m trying to understand: am I a pig-headed girl, a dumb, an old fashioned one or just maybe a normal person with legitimate aspirations of pure, unstained love? Hmm, I tend to say the last version suits me better…

While the libertinism in the Sade’s period was still having a sort of message, nowadays, the “I’m a libertine” or “ I’m young, I need to get as much experience as I can” mean nothing to me! If you’re an idiot at 18, you’ll be one at 40, as well! Just a trashy person with no real values in this world.
Libertine means a sexually promiscuous person and there’s nothing to get proud about it. It takes more guts to keep your pants on, than off!
The “I have a girlfriend/boyfriend, but I’m still screwing the others just for fun” reminds me of how low on the ladder of morals, some of us have become…

Getting a bit upset and sad about how the world goes, I went to wet my tomatoes(trust me, it puts the ideas into one place, the dear earth, back to roots!)…

In the garden, I started talking with my neighbor of 74 years old. And got my answers to all the issues that bothered my head and soul. There’ll always be trashy people and knights of love!
She started telling me how her husband has issues with his heart and that they’ve been together for more than 47 years: “It’s not about sex, my dear, when there’s love, there’s more than that! It’s when you look into each other’s eyes even after 47 years and when you know what that person mean, and when even words are useless! As a woman, I know that I have a mission, we all have a mission here, and my mission now is to wake up four times a night in order to put my ear next to his chest to hear his heart beating.I’ll try to help him on his road no matter how hard it will get”.

Sex: you can find it everywhere, anywhere, but love is like a fragile edelweiss flower(go back to the romantic German movement of poetry from the 19th century).

Love is pure and noble!
You rarely find it, and when you do, try not to spoil it!

Two edelweiss:)
