DINARRÓN | Or should I say Dinarellaron …

✷✷✷ (For any and all Dinarrón content, refer to disclaimer in these posts) ✷✷✷

᪥

From Narcos: Mexico, Season 2, episode 2 - Alea Iacta Est

Aka that one time all three Arellano siblings eyed Barróncito like the prime rib he is went heart eyes for Barrón.

And who can blame them? Even los Arellanos are not exempt from popping the occasional catching the occasional workplace boner crush.

᪥

Already. I mean cmooon, given this entrance with that little shy-boy chin bop, wtf did we think was gonna happen??? They were all gonna look at him and be like, “nah?” Sksksksks no they were all fucking goners, right off the bat, like no match to the silent-but-deadly magnetism our boy is droppin here.

᪥

Oh okay, and then this little walk he does down the stairs. Like in all seriousness (i’ve talked about this with Món/Manuel Masalva before) there’s something about his physicality, like it’s all over that legendary S3 scene at Christine too. And idk if it was the directors, or the writers, or just Bobby Soto plain being like, “So, imma walk down these steps in the sexiest way possible, hope that’s cool with you guys” no te preocupes, chulito, it’s v cool with us but like his whole physicality is just undeniably h o ttttt.

᪥

OKAY YOU MOTHERFUCKINGXDJDKSKDJDNDNSJ GOONS. This is it. This is the first time Dina lays her gotdamn beautiful brown eyes on gotdamn beautiful Barrón. And what praytell does she look like? Tell me what she looks like????? I’ll give you a hint …….

SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE SIZING THIS BOY UP LIKE HE A SLICE OF PECAN PIE WITH A FAT SCOOP OF VANILLA ICE CREAM ON TOP. SHE SEES THAT SWEET SNACK SURPRISE AND SHE KNOWS OKAY

᪥

And just join me, for a moment, in overanalyzing this shot bc it’s not just Dina who’s enamored. Juuuust after Barrón leans back, before Mon shakes his hand. Take in that image right there and tell me they don’t ALL look like they wanna climb him like a jungle gym. They straight look like Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed from the Lion King, bout to bust out into showtunes before making a meal of the kid sksksks. And lbr, he and Panchito were in prison for a min so his look might be “aaaah, memories.” Cuz they never really tell us like what is it that made him such a faaan of Barrón in the first place. And gorl was pushin real hard for the rest of the fam to like him, just sayin.

᪥

There’s no logical Dinarrón reason for me to include this except that the way Ramon walks here rivals aforementioned Barrón stairwalk in terms of pure sexness sksksks like godddd he looks good🥴 OH EXCEPT, the way Barrón follows Mon to confront Chapo and Cochi. Already the work ethic. Mans means business strollin behind, already all-in with the backup even tho he just got there.

᪥

And then we have over here Dina also surveying the scene, making sure no one pulls ANY shit, ready at a moment’s notice to fucking cut you no but like literally sksksks she will actually cut you with the champagne bottle she cracked over that putamadre’s head. SO BASICALLY, Dina and Barrón are literally doing the same damn thing, providing the saaame damn function, in case things pop off in this convo between Mon, Cochi and Chapo which I did gif and desperately wanted to include but couldnt bc of Tumblr’s stupid 10 image limit 😤😤🙄🙄

᪥

And here, I’d like to welcome you to our next edition of Inside the Actors- no Scene overAnalysis with Your Local Space Witch, Kaybron. Wherein I will transform, before your very eyes, into the It’s Always Sunny Pepe Silva meme.

First off, Dina adorably rubbing Moncito’s head like, “yes, good job with fam protec against that scareee Chapo and scareee Cochi, big strong, prad of u.”

Second, just after the adorable sibling head rub, Barrón proceeds to PUT HIS HANDS ON PANCHITA’S SHOULDERS like a “cmon buddy it’ll be okay” gesture or “echoes of our secret prison love affair” gesture I’m not sure cause they’re bestest good frands and he don’t want his bestest good frand to be mad at his own party. SO BASICALLY Dina and Barrón YET AGAIN fulfill the same function as the resident comforting watchdogs, at the Same. Damn. Time.

And lastly, but most importantly…. And it’s crucial that you’re here with me, in this moment, because….. there is, for a millisecond …. it’s literally blink and miss it …. but there is A Look. Right after adorb sib head rub, Dina throws a look Barrón’s way and he fucking looks at her back while he’s walking by steering Panchito with adorable shoulder rub. THERES A LOOK. ITS FUCKING THERE.

᪥

AND👏🏼FUCKING👏🏼THEN👏🏼 this pinshe tonteria.

The other Arellano sisters exiting the frame to reveal BOTH OF THEM IN THE MIDDLE mad-dogging tf out of the Sinaloa camp, THE SAME gotdamn expression on their faces, RIGHT next to each other……….

*foaming at the mouth, flips table over* LIKE ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING. IM SUPPOSED TO FUCKING THINK THEY ARENT DESTINED FOR EACH OTHER? RLY? LITERALLY SHOVING THE NARRATIVE SYMMETRY IN MY FACE BRANCATO?? AND YOU EXPECT ME TO BE REASONABLE??

Phew. *wipes sweat from forehead, gathers up red string, crumpled paper, and tacks*

And with that, your Honor, The People rest.

TO SUM UP OCTOBER

October was quite good in reading numbers, but the books weren’t really high quality. I absolutely loved Cemetery Boys, and had a nice time with Born a Crime, Pan’s Labyrinth, Killer Kung Pao, and The Memory of Babel, but they didn’t really stand up to me, which was a bit sad because I did have high expectations. As to the rest, well. Best left forgotten.

However, I’m quite happy because I read 9 out of the 10 books I planned for in my monthly TBR post, so that’s an accomplishment!! 

How was your month?

Northern California is one of the most wonderful places in the world and if I had two weeks, here's some of what I might do! Arrive & San Francisco Start in San Francisco. Don't rent a car, just take BART from SFO or OAK to the city. If you can find an AirBnB in the Mission District, that's where I would stay. The Castro would also be very nice. Both areas are hip, residential with tons of places to eat and things to do, AND close to public transit that would get you around the city and the bay area. There are tons of other nice spots to live or stay, but some of them will leave you taking Lyfts absolutely everywhere. I would personally avoid downtown, just because it's very metropolitan and busy and just so work/commercial, but it's also easy to get around from there. Get dinner in the Mission and just wander around. There's always a ton going on here, plenty of live music, etc. I love tacos at Tacolicious, Panchita's for delicious papusas, Dandelion for excellent desserts and chocolate, Craftsmen & Wolves for good pastries & really good coffee. Obviously you'll need to spend a day seeing the Golden Gate Bridge. I highly recommend seeing the sunrise from Batter Spencer, then taking a hike either up the hill to Hawk Hill, or renting a car and driving around and seeing Rodeo Beach, Muir Beach, Muir Woods, etc. If you go that route, head up Mt Tam to watch the sunset! It's so pretty up there and on foggy days you'll actually find yourself in the sunshine above the clouds. Pretty amazing! Probably as a first time tourist you'll want to spend a day at Fisherman's Wharf. I would probably skip this altogether, but if you enjoy the wharf feel make sure to check out the sea lions on the docks, get a caramel apple at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Company, and have a chowder bread bowl at Boudin. You'll definitely need to visit Musee Mechanique (bring cash to exchange for quarters) where you can look at all of the cool old toys. My favorite is the laughing lady (hilarious and creepy) and all the toothpick things! You could take the cable cars from near here (and the Chrissy Field Beach area), which is quite nice and I think a better waiting experience than going from downtown. That would land you downtown for some shopping, etc. If not, then while you're on that side of San Francisco and depending on your stamina, you could visit Coit Tower (pay to go to the top! the view is pretty). You can drive to the top or you can hike all 162 steps (or however many it is... haha). You'll love a visit to the Ferry Building. Hog Island Oyster Co is a favorite (although you can also visit on Tomales Bay for a less crowded experience) as is Miette and their macarons. Blue Bottle coffee is really good, but definitely not my favorite coffee in SF anymore (especially now that they are owned by Nestle). Honestly if I need coffee here I go down the street to the Philz, which is so so good. Philz is all drop coffee made to order and to taste. You pick your beans and then they make you your bev. Bring your own cup for a deal (a large for the price of a small). San Francisco is not a city of cheap coffee, if you want the good stuff. Expect to spend around $3.5-5 a cup. My favorite Philz location is the Castro one, but you'll see them all over and they are consistent and super tasty. I'm not a huge fan of the North Beach area, but it is a cute little Italian neighborhood and street. The Beach Blanket Babylon show is a classic and super funny, but you also wouldn't be to terribly worse off if you didn't want to afford it. I do like the Stella Bakery, although it's more traditional Italian than modern San Francisco and I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. Nopa is pretty cute, although I don't know the area as well as I could. Definitely it's worth getting lunch at Soulva (sit in their back patio or the front on the street) for Greek salads that are delicious, healthy, and reasonably priced. After lunch get their frozen Greek yogurt with the sour cherry topping and walk up to Alamo Square to see the Painted Ladies. If it's before 3pm get chocolate ganache mochas from the actual cutest coffee truck, Lady Falcon Coffee Club, roasted & brewed & run all by women. Hayes Valley is adorable and definitely worth a walk around. I love Absinthe for a fancy, decadent French meal, or Soulva again for cheap ish Greek salads. Definitely spend some time walking around and looking at all of the fancy, hip shops. I always window shop here and even try things on. Homemade shoes, the hippest clothing, etc. Another reason I love Hayes is that it's so very close to San Francisco City Hall and the Opera House and Symphony Hall. San Francisco City Hall is an incredible building and so pretty. It's free to go in and open until 5pm. You'll need to go through security, but it's super worth it. The building is really gorgeous: make sure to go up to the 4th floor to look down on everything and then just walk around. The grand staircase is insane. Added bonus is that you'll get to see tons of brides and grooms and happy families. So fun. Trouble Coffee is worth a visit, for sure. I love seeing Broadway shows at the Orpheum, such a pretty theater. North Beach My fave Italian in SF, especially if you're going to Chinatown and/or Downtown Santa Cruz Spend a day exploring the beaches along Davenport and Santa Cruz. Go for a walk along West Cliff and watch the sun set and/or rise over the water. On a clear day, you can see the two stacks of Monterey in the distance. Eat at Hula's (expect a wait), where the macadamia nut crusted fish is the best. I loved staying at the Sea and Sun Inn, which has an excellent location and modern ocean front rooms. I woke up for sunrise when we were staying here and walked down to the beach. The actual best! I saw dolphins! Pumpkin Patching in the Fall More pretty Santa Cruz that I love & brunch suggestions! Camping in Santa Cruz Best place for Ice Cream in Santa Cruz and other things I love here Monterey and Carmel-by-the-Sea I love this part of California and could spend a whole week driving down the coast, first stop here! The Carmel River State Beach is wonderful and so worth a long stop at. It's really pretty. In Monterey, you should definitely do a whale watching tour. We saw Orcas here and it was so insane and incredible. Go earlier in the morning and bring sunscreen, hats, and water. If you get sea sick, take something. We ended up out there on a rougher day and I never get seasick usually, but found myself a little queasy by the end. In Monterey, you must visit the Parker Lassau bakery for breakfast and then maybe again for second breakfast. It's so delicious and adorable and I highly recommend! I loved renting kayaks and kayaking around the Kelp beds. We even saw sea otters and had a feisty one trying to climb up on our kayak (super cute, but also they bite! be careful!)   Napa and Wine Country So, Napa. If you want to go and see vines and stay in the countryside and drink wine, you're in luck. I loved staying at the North Block Hotel in Yountville: Super chic and cozy and their hotel restaurant Redwood is also very yummy (and delicious cocktails). I loved staying there (although I did a trade to get this room and took some product photos, so I actually don't know how much it costs). For Christmas last year, Sam got me a hot air balloon ride with Aloft and it was so wonderful that I cried. Highly highly recommend. No need to do the breakfast there. We stayed at the Inn on Randolph and everything was perfect. The room was amazing, the wine and fireplace fabulous, and the breakfast in the morning delicious. I also love heading over to Healdsburg and going wine tasting there!

Conoce los restaurantes que tienen buenas prácticas ambientales

New Post has been published on https://www.ctvsatelital.net/conoce-los-restaurantes-que-tienen-buenas-practicas-ambientales/

Conoce los restaurantes que tienen buenas prácticas ambientales

La ministra del Ambiente, Fabiola Muñoz, destacó el esfuerzo que vienen desarrollando diversas empresas privadas dedicadas al rubro gastronómico en favor de la conservación ambiental y el desarrollo sostenible en el país.

En esta oportunidad, Muñoz visitó algunos restaurantes de la capital que tienen buenas prácticas ambientales en sus actividades y procesos de producción, contribuyendo así con el cuidado del medio ambiente.

En esta oportunidad visitó los conocidos restaurantes:

Central y Panchita,

los cuales trabajan en coordinación con la

empresa Sinba

especializada en procesos de

manejo adecuado de residuos sólidos.

Durante el recorrido, Muñoz Dodero pudo constatar que en tales establecimientos se usan alternativas biodegradables como envases de cartón o bambú para reducir el consumo del plástico.

Además, hacen una buena clasificación de productos orgánicos e inorgánicos, gracias una metodología bien sistematizada con indicadores mensuales

A continuación, se detallan en qué consisten estas buenas prácticas ambientales que son aplicadas en los citados establecimientos:

El restaurante “Central” no utiliza sorbetes ni tecnopor, además tiene una planta de purificación de agua en todo el establecimiento que permite ahorrar este recurso.

En convenio con la empresa Sinba segrega en fuente los residuos orgánicos, convirtiéndolos en alimento para animales de granjas. 

Los residuos inorgánicos son entregados a los recicladores formalizados de la misma empresa. Sinba capacita al personal del restaurante a fin de mantener sus buenas prácticas ambientales.

En tanto, el restaurante “Panchita” ha remplazado los envases de tecnopor y plástico por alternativas biodegradables, permitiendo así la reducción de plásticos de un solo uso. Tampoco entregan sorbetes de plástico a sus clientes.

Otro establecimiento que se suma a esta iniciativa es el restaurante “ÁmaZ”, que realiza un buen manejo de residuos sólidos orgánicos e inorgánicos, utilizan sorbetes de papel y han reemplazado el tecnopor por envases biodegradables. Sus proveedores entregan productos nativos de la Amazonía peruana.

De otro lado, Sinba es una empresa socioambiental que transforma desperdicios de los residuos orgánicos en el sector gastronómico, convirtiéndolos en alimentos para animales de granjas urbanas. Trabajan con empresas del rubro de alimentos en general y con recicladores.

Como parte de las iniciativas que promueve el Estado peruano, el

Ministerio del Ambiente (Minam)

viene desarrollando la campaña “Menos plástico, más vida”, que impulsa en la ciudadanía el consumo responsable de bolsas plásticas, sorbetes y Tecnopor.

Esta práctica está llegando a diversos ámbitos, logrando que empresas privadas como restaurantes se apropien de los mensajes y los difundan entre sus clientes y proveedores.

[camacamiliabroad-blog]

A little background here

For those of you who don’t know me, I’m a Junior at MTU studying civil engineering with a focus in water resource. I’m also getting an international Spanish minor, which is why I’m here!

My school offers a study abroad program for service, learning, and culture in Lima which is faculty-led and lasts for 40 days. I heard about it before last summer through my Spanish professor Carlos- the faculty that leads the trip- but by then I had a summer job all set up and pretty much assumed it was not something I would be able to afford. After working all summer and learning that I could get loans, I decided that this is an opportunity I should seize. Not only would it enrich my life (@erin), it would help me improve my Spanish, and it would open many doors for me, as someone who hopes to work with the fresh water crisis in Latin America. Basically, it would look great on a resume AND be a dope experience.

So here I am, sitting in my residencia room in Lima, and I am beyond happy that I came here. My program is a service, learning, and culture program through MTU and ISA. I am taking two classes (6 credits): Task-Based Spanish for International Literacy, and International Experience in Lima. I’m also auditing the other class that’s offered, which is a lit class based around Peruvian literature. Lit. I also get to go to Cusco and Machu Picchu on an included excursion thanks to ISA, as well as some other optional excursions through ISA such as Huaraz and Iquitos. We also get to volunteer with other ISA students for programs like Casa de Panchita and Mundo Libre.

I will use this blog to cover my weekly activity, highlighting excursions, services, activities, and anything I think is worth highlighting. It will likely mostly be text posts, which I know is boring! Feel free to skim through those because I'm planning on posting a lot of bomb photos, and maybe some sick gifs. So keep your eyes peeled. I'm starting this blog 2.5 weeks into the trip, so forgive me if the beginning is terrible!
