Hoy Es El Dia
Buenas noches a todos,
Today is the day...hoy es el día. I've been my father's soccer watching companion for as long as I can remember, my earliest memory being the 1998 World Cup in France. Through soccer we've created a special bond that's so dear to me and that I'm sure many of you can relate to. That's the beauty of soccer, it's power to unite and instantly turn your day from a bad one to the best one in a manner of seconds. It's power to make us feel home despite being thousands of miles away.
Just like the Peruvians at home, we've suffered through the lows like when Peru missed the World Cup in 1997 by a difference of one goal and screamed our hearts in the highs like when Peru tied the Argentina game in 2010 in the last few minutes, a game they didn't deserve to lose.
Right now Peruvians all over the world are all united, with butterflies in our stomachs thinking about this paramount game. A game that can bring us back to the world cup after 35 years. Win or lose I know I will fall into my father's arms with tears in my eyes of happiness. Of happiness of all the wonderful moments this soccer team has brought us and the immense pride we have to wear the Blanquirroja today.
Que viva el Peru carajo!
Buenas noches a todos,
Hoy es el día que todos hemos esperado. Desde pequeña he sido la que acompañaba a mi papá por las mañanas para ver partidos de fútbol, como una fiel hincha. Mis recuerdos más tempranas son la de la Copa Mundial de Francia de 1998. A través del fútbol mi papá y yo hemos creado una relación muy cercana y especial para mi, y esa es la belleza del fútbol, su poder para unir y instantáneamente cambiar tu día de uno malo a uno bueno en solo unos segundos. Su poder de hacerme sentir en Perú aunque este miles de millas de distancia.
Igual a los Peruanos en casa, nosotros también hemos sufrido cuando perdimos la clasificación al mundial del 1998 por una diferencia de un gol. Y también hemos llorado de la emoción cuando Peru hizo un gol en el último minuto empatando a Argentina en el 2010, un partido que no merecimos perder.
Hoy Peruanos en todo el mundo estamos unido, no importa en qué partes del mundo estemos. Con mariposas en el estomago y con un nudo en la garganta pensando en este partido tan decisivo. El partido que nos podría regresar a un mundial después de 35 años. Ganen o pierdan, se que está noche con lágrimas en los ojos abrazare a mi padre de felicidad. De felicidad de todos los grandes momentos que nos ha brindado este equipo y con inmenso orgullo de vestir la blanquirroja nuevamente.
Que viva el Peru carajo!

Mis Guerreros!
¿ Imaynalla kachkanki?
Yes, I have been MIA from my beloved blog and readers but I have a pretty good excuse, I got a new job over the summer that has been taking up most of mental energy and well in terms of physical energy, I've become immersed in different activities that have kept me exhausted. I decided to try kickboxing and I ended up loving it more than I imagined, it's an amazing way to get in shape and let out all that stress! I've also decided to try Colombian salsa and Brazilian samba classes after contemplating it for a while and they're both dances that require very quick feet movement. These are all things that bring me immense happiness and I've lately just been doing things that bring value to my life. No one will care or push you through your internal fears more than YOURSELF so always remember, to TREAT YO' SELF!
On that note, my blog has always been in the back of my mind, and now more than ever with what's been going on in the past few weeks with DACA. You guys are going through a difficult time and I would like to share a quote to anyone going through difficult times:
Life in general, the life of an immigrant and being part of an immigrant family is one filled with many obstacles but think about all that we've gone through until this moment. Find strength in all the times you 've pushed yourself through the lows of your life and overcame them. You know what is something we all have grasped from these painful experiences? We. get. through. them. Fate puts these experiences in our lives to make us stronger and wiser...guerreros, warriors.
This may sound cliche but my parents are my heroes. When I'm in a situation where everything just seems dark and it's impossible to get out, I think of all that my parents have done to get to where they are now. Our parents didn't have the option to say "It's impossible" when they got here, there was no turning back. These experiences gave us the thick skin and perseverent mindsets that have made us unstoppable.
Achieving a dream never comes easy, and for those who do have DACA and for those that didn't qualify, the path is not as smooth and filled with bumps along the road, but never lose faith and get to the finish line. The plan you originally had may not work but change the plan, not the goal.
If you need anyone to talk to for some uplifting, I without a doubt am all ears and you can email me or send me a message through my instagram; kay_monge
Also, application fees are very expensive ($495) and by going to Undocumedia's page you can help sponsor a DACA beneficiary!

Peru & Colombia Need You
Rimaykullayki everyone,
It is my hope that through this medium I inspire or motivate at least one person to go out and donate to these causes. Every little bit counts and every little bit can make a change.
I hope everyone's been having a productive and not so stressful week so far, and if you are, you got this! In NYC its been raining a lot these past few days which is normal during this time of the year but in Peru and Colombia, its been raining more than usual. Due to global warming and the cycle of El Niño, countries like Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru have been suffering from heavy rains that have lead to flooding and mudslides. In Peru we refer to these effects as huaicos and while our April showers are bringing May flowers, the torrential rains in these countries have been devastating, killing hundreds of people and leaving thousands upon thousands of families homeless with no food or water and susceptible to diseases. This is the worst Peru and Colombia have experienced in terms of natural disasters in many years and both governments didn't expect and weren't ready for the level of damage these huaicos have left.
Every morning for the past few weeks I've been following what's been going on in the northern part of Peru, the one most affected by the huaicos. Cities like Piura, Lambayeque, Trujillo and districts like Chosica that are near rivers have been greatly affected and the floods have brought diseases from the carcasses of animals in the roads which puts those living on the streets in greater danger. In terms of numbers, almost 1 million citizens have been affected by these huaicos, leaving over 130,000 homeless and about 100 dead. Through all the pain, there have been beautiful acts of humanity that have inspired the entire nation.

On Sunday, Mocoa, a city in the southern part of Colombia near the borders of Peru and Ecuador, suffered from heavy rains that led to a huge landslide of mud that has left over 250 dead so far. Half the city of Mocoa was affected, leaving thousands without a home, damaged infrastructures, no access to electricity, gas, telephone, and sadly, many looking for loved ones. This tragedy happened quickly and unexpectedly which is why there's many missing now.

It's heartbreaking to see so many suffering and I know it's sometimes difficult to figure out how one can help being far away. I've been reading and talking to family in Peru and a friend from Colombia on how we can help. Here are a few of the best options I've come to find:
- If you have family or a very close friend you trust in either Peru or Colombia (or both) you can send them money to buy food, clothes, water, medicine, etc to help out. My mother and I did this 2 weeks ago and through Whatsapp my aunt (Tia Eli who is such a sweetheart 💓) showed us the things she bought. That weekend she went with some friends to go help distribute the items, so we have that joy in our hearts to know that these things have gone directly to the hands of those who need it the MOST.
- Buffet Peruano Benefico, on Sunday April 9th, from 12-5:30 PM the restaurant Jalea Peruvian Cuisine in Hicksville, NY will be donating all their proceeds from this buffet. There will also be entertainment. Tickets for Adults will be $30 and for Children, $10.
- Desde Lejos, Contigo Peru!: Recaudor de Fondos, on Saturday April 29th, from 1- 6 PM there will be a dance with many Peruvian artists in which all the money will be going to the damnificados. This will take place in la Iglesia San Bartolome in Elmhurst, NY.
- Marathon Unidos Por El Peru, on Sunday April 30th from 12 PM at La Boom in Woodside, NY where the donation fee will be $10.00.
- Consulado Colombiano en New York on Sunday April 9th from 3-9 PM the embassy in NYC will have artists, music and delicious Colombian food in which donations will be received for those affected from the Mocoa natural disaster.
* There is still not many events here for the Mocoa tragedy considering that it happened recently. If I find more, I will be adding it to the list so check for updates.*
It is my hope that through this medium I inspire or motivate at least one person to go out and donate to these causes. Every little bit counts and every little bit can make a change.
#SomosPeru
#TodosConMocoa
#UnaSolaFuerza
Despues de cada derrota, comienza la reconstruccion. I know that these tragedies will result in stronger infrastructures and most importantly a stronger and more united nation. 🌄
Blessings to you all,
Karen

De La Victoria A La Gloria
Rimaykullayki!
*por si acaso, esta es mi primera vez escribiendo en español despues de mucho tiempo **
*por si acaso, esta es mi primera vez escribiendo en español despues de mucho tiempo **
La gente de Alianza Lima se va, se va...
Hace una semana todo el mundo amaneció con la devastadora
noticia que el avión que tenía el equipo brasileño, Chapecoense, y también muchos
periodistas brasileños, había estrellado. Nomás sobrevivieron 6 personas, 3 de
ellas jugadores del equipo, y al cielo se fueron sus compañeros de la vida.
En este avión fallecieron jugadores con un futuro muy brillante en el
futbol que se murieron con los ánimos en alto para jugar la final Copa Sudamericana
con Atlético Nacional de Medellín, Colombia. No habrán
podido jugar ese partido tan esperado, pero salieron triunfadores. Al fin
ganaron la Copa Sudamericana y más importante, se ganaron los corazones
del mundo entero. Nunca los olvidaremos, igual que nosotros los peruanos nunca olvidaremos a los potrillos de Alianza Lima que también tuvieron ese trágico
destino igual que el Chapecoense.
Y sobre el cielo de Lima, llegaron hasta
la cima, y sobre el cielo de Lima se quedarán...
Hace dos días fueron 29 años, que en un día como el 8 de diciembre,
el Perú fue impactado por unas de las tragedias mas conmovedores en toda su
historia, El día en el que todo el equipo de Alianza Lima, con su entrenador y cuerpo técnico que estaban en el Fokker (un
avión de la marina de guerra del Perú), fallecieron. Nomás hubo un solo sobreviviente,
el piloto que estrello el avión quien ahora dicen que vive en Australia. Al
cielo se fueron jugadores que hacían parte de una de las mejores generaciones del futbol peruano que querían llevarnos a
otro mundial después del 1982 y un entrenador increíble. Marcos Calderón, quien fue el
entrenador del equipo peruano que ganaron la Copa
América en 1975. Ese día... también
se fueron esas alegrías que alumbraban al Perú en unos tiempos bien oscuros políticamente.
No volverán, no volverán...
En 1987 el Perú estaba bajo el gobierno de Alan García, quien con su gobierno aprista y corrupta inspiro a muchos peruanos como mis padres de irse del Perú. Trajo al Perú en una gran recesión económica donde la gente ya ni tenía suficiente para comprarse un pan o taro de leche por la inflación. Mi padre, quien era ingeniero en esos tiempos, tuvo que trabajar como policía también porque el dinero no era suficiente. La gente, quien estaba con el alma caída por estos tiempos de frustración encontraban felicidad al ver su equipo triunfar. Eso es lo maravilloso y mágico del futbol y los deportes en general (pero más el futbol). En tiempos oscuros, como en aquellos tiempos en el Perú, estos chicos se rompían el alma en la cancha para traer esa felicidad tan necesitada para su gente. Ellos no les debían nada al Perú, pero ellos se ponían ese peso en sus espaldas y por eso siempre valdrán un Perú.

Ellos no les debían nada al Perú, pero ellos se ponían ese peso en sus espaldas y por eso siempre valdrán un Perú.
Cuando la gente venía con el alma caída a casa después de
ganar una miseria que era común en aquellos tiempos, en el 75’ con Francisco Morales Bermúdez y en el 87’
con Alan García, ¡nuestro equipo
peruano nos daba la vida! En los 70's
el
Perú era el país que hacía temblar a los grandes como Brasil, Uruguay,
y Argentina. Mi padre, con
mucha alegría que se transmite por el brillo en sus ojos, me cuenta como era
vivir en esos años dorados. Los años
dorados que inspiraron una generación de chicos para que ellos también sean
grandes y lleven el nombre del Perú en alto.
y al vernos llorar por
ellos, pidieron permiso al cielo, y con los negritos nuevos
regresaran...
Al perder básicamente todo el equipo, excepto 4 que
no habían bordado por estar lesionados y cosas de la vida, ya no se veía un
futuro promovedor para el Perú. La Alianza Lima era uno de los mejores equipos peruano,
pero ese día hinchas del Sporting
Cristal como mi padre (¡y yo!), del Universitario, del Melgar, todos se unieron al dolor de los aliancistas. Ese día todos fueron uno y la
solidaridad que es una de las características más hermosas y humanas que
existe, se veo en los gestos de muchos clubs en el Perú y también a nivel
mundial. La U, quien es el gran rival de la Alianza, fueron uno de los primeros
en ofrecerse en dar algunos jugadores para que tengan un equipo de 11. Otra
gran sorpresa fue del equipo chileno, el Colo
Colo, quien presto a 4 de sus
mejores jugadores, y con este gran acto de solidaridad de un país que es el eterno
rival del Perú todavía se aprecia hasta hoy y los Aliancistas le hicieron una canción.
Alianza Lima y Colo Colo, simplemente uno solo...
Y nomas dos años después, Alianza Lima pudo levantar otra
copa Sudamericana como lo hubieran hecho en 1987. Otra vez alegrando a su
gente, y aunque ahora no estén pasando por sus mejores momentos, este equipo sabe
que nuevamente podran ser gloriosos.
y volverán, y volverán...
Y con esto quiero concretar que tengo la FE que el equipo Chapecoense, que está
pasando por unos de los momentos más dolorosos en su historia, volverán a
alegrar a sus hinchas que les serán fieles por toda la vida, generación a generación.
Con diferentes jugadores que jugaran a todo dar, a sudar y llevar en alto la
camiseta que llevan puesta y con jugadores en el cielo que los estarán guiando
por toda una eternidad.
También, tengo la fe que algún día voy a
poder gozar al ver a mi Perú darlo todo en un mundial, igual que mi padre. Que
gritare y los alentare igual cuando fui a verlos jugar en Foxborough,
Massachusetts para la Copa América contra Brasil. Nunca olvidare ese día tan
especial, el primer partido que fui a ver con mi papa y fue un partido HISTORICO. Esta es la magia del
futbol, una magia que existe hasta en los momentos más dolorosos para
alegrarnos la vida.
Que tengan una bendecida y feliz fin de semana.
Con mucho cariño,
Karen

Count Your Blessings
Hello there,
It's finally December! Christmas is just around the corner (as well as finals week but lets get our minds off that just for a bit) and I know many people that have their mind set on all the gifts they yet have to buy for their friends and loved ones. I think we should also take some time to reflect on the billions of people in this world that have their minds set on how they're going to make it through the next day. I was actually going to write millions when I then decided to google how many people in this world are living in poverty and it's really heartbreaking to see the statistics that are part of our reality. Just a little over three billion people live on less than $2.50 a day and at least 80% of our world population lives on less than $10 a day...and to think that there's that 1% of individuals that owns 50% of the world's total wealth.
Knowing this makes me feel so thankful and full of gratitude for the circumstances I was born into which is better than 80% of the world. Escaping from the inflation and terrorism that was occurring in Peru, my parents didn't have much in the beginning and we were very humble yet very rich. Very rich for the simple fact that we had a roof over our heads, running water, yummy food to fill our bellies, and to be living in a nation where my sister and I had many freedoms and opportunities we would've been deprived of if my parents stayed in Peru.
We have the tools and laws in this great nation where with an education and hard work, you can make what you dreamed as a child a reality. There's so many children who wish to have the luxury of being able to go to school and become the person they envision themselves to be, and it's so important for us to not take that for granted. To not take for granted whatever tools we have here in this country, because by simply having access to the internet and by simply owning an electronic device, you are so much far ahead and wealthier than over half the population in this world!
Every single person in this world, as our brothers and sisters, deserve to have the right to every single life necessity. No one should be sleeping tonight on an empty stomach which happens very often for example in Yemen where their children are currently suffering with severe malnutrition. Every child deserves the chance to make their dreams come true and have the right to an education and not have to drop out to start working at very young ages. We have the means to restore faith in so many people around the world and an impact so much greater than a Huda Beauty Rose Gold palette for a make-up lover can for Christmas and it doesn't take much!
I don't have much, but I know for certain that the little amount I can give to some charities has contributed in making a difference in someone's life. And that by little by little, when we all come together, that 20% of us (especially that 1% on the top), we can make a great impact and monumental step forward in helping eradicate the severe poverty that is still existent. My mom always tells me,

My mom always tells me,
"Lo ultimo que se puerde perder es la fe" ~ "Faith is the last thing we can lose"We CANNOT allow them to lose hope in a better tomorrow. Here are some charities that are my favorite and where donations will be great Christmas gifts to give:
- itsjudyslife and benjimantv with their Dancember movement. Every December, they dance every year for their viewers in order to raise money for the charity of their choice. Other Youtubers also tend to tag along and I know this year is supposed to be HUGE! The charity of their choice for 2016 is feedONE, a Convey of Hope initiative where they plan to raise $500,000 to feed children in poverty.
- Angelina Jolie with USA for UNHCR, a charity that focuses on providing aid to dislocated people, refugees, where sadly the numbers keep increasing. They help those who are fleeing Aleppo and Mosul as well as many other places.
- Pencils of Promise where since 2009 they have been able to build 380 schools. It takes $35,000 to build a school, so if just the people of NYC each gave one dollar to this charity, and in NYC there's 8.4 million people, that would make 250 schools. Just one city with 1 dollar.

| Gotta add a Mulan quote up in here because Disney can be deep. |
Count your blessings this holiday season and try to give the gift of opportunity and faith to those who need it so much. So little can do SO much.
With lots of love,
Karen
