A short story about some LEGOS, a question, and a box
This is the 2nd “Chapter” of the story I started writing with my grandma. After the last update some events happened but I will keep writing them. A little bit of her stories, mine and a few crazy ideas here and there should make it work. Thanks everyone for the support so far. Best, Alej…
The following is a concept I started working during the last month, even if “romantic” narrative is not my thing we had some fun with my grandma talking a little bit about her stories, mine and some mutual friends haha. Today I decided to release the draft before I leave Ecuador, if you read all…
There is a bigger history to what you may know, at least always in China this is the case. While there has been a lot of articles during the last 3 years on the fast development of American football in China (Grantland, New Republic and now NPR) the actual story of how this “fast development”…

Sere muy honesto el Futbol Americano (o Football) no es el deporte mas popular en Ecuador, en un pequeño país de 15 millones de habitantes si se dice vamos a jugar futbol/football el 99% de las personas asociaran esto con ir a patear un balón con los pies y el único que utiliza sus manos…
American football is not popular in Ecuador (厄瓜多尔), in small country with 16 million people the meaning of football is 99% associated with kicking a ball with your foot and that only the goalkeeper can use his hands*, so: how did I end up playing this sport in China? How did I get the chance…

A quienes lean esto, tomen un minuto y en la parte de abajo respondan, aun si es anónimamente, que estarían dispuestos a perder o dar con el fin de brindarle más tiempo o esperanza al más joven de su familia? Cambiaria esto si no conoces al beneficiario de tu acción? Existen muchos temas que he…
Hoy salió ese tema, el porque el nombre del blog. Y creo que será fácil de entender: Después de ingresar más de varios títulos, que incluían palabras o frases que son tradicionales de Ecuador (hablando la plena, veza gabardina, no tan chévere, etc.), ingrese descolado, porque así me hacía sentir WordPress, pero OH SORPRESA!… Tampoco…
Despues de analizar muy detenidamente fue obvio que querer topar muchos temas, ser un blog en ingles y espanol, y principalmente no tener un objetivo claro, no servia para nada… Asi que una palabra ecuatoriana, para narrar lo que me pasa dia a dia o el menos en bases regulares+vlogs, con el fin de estar…
