Burrada – dicho o acción torpe, brutal.
They’re called burradas because they are things we all do without thinking. Things that might embarrass us or even make us feel pretty clueless for a couple of seconds. Sort of like blonde moments – we all have them regardless of what color our roots might actually be, and they’re just pretty hilarious. So take a look at some of our best blonde moments caught on video.
I still say I make/have fewer burradas!
It was only a matter of time! We’ve figured out how to TAG people on videos through YouTube as well now. So, this week, for our “Los Metiches” episode we figured it would be fun to tell you more about ourselves. Stuff like: Who are Los Metiches? Where did they come from? What are they doing? You get the picture.
¡Los Metiches!
And here it is, our very first Official TAG Video about Who We Are!
We also thought it would be incredibly chingon to have you guys submit your own videos answering these same questions. After all, the whole point of a TAG video is to do just that. Plus we just really want to know who you are. To get the ball rolling we’ve already tagged a few people ourselves. Hopefully they’ll jump in and keep on tagging others. If you’re so inclined, please make your own video and leave us the link here too. We’d love to see it!
Oh yeah and before we forget, since we know you’re all busy, here’s a quick Cheat Sheet (with times) for all of the Questions on this Video:
1. 00:26 - What do you think is your best quality?
2. 01:24 - What is one thing that people don’t know about you?
3. 02:35 - What was your first job?
4. 04:37 - What do you consider is one of your worst habits?
5. 07:13 - What is one of your fears?
6. 08:33 - What is your favorite movie or book?
7. 09:42 - What is your strangest or most unusual talent?
8. 10:48 - What is one of the nicknames you’ve had, past or present?
9. 13:50 - What is the best decision that you have ever made?
10. 16:05 - What achievement are you most proud of?
11. 19:03 - SPECIAL TREAT for hanging in there with us!
Thank you for playing!!
¡Charanga, Pachanga, Charanga, Pachanga!
It should be pretty simple to tell. I mean you can’t pass off a tamal or a torta for an hors d’oeuvre, much less frijoles pintos or asado… though in all fairness, word around the street is that these new gourmet food trucks are doing wonderful things with our comida. But for this question I figured (well Anjelica pointed it out to me) that it would be better to let Los Metiches answer for all of us. Check it out!
Spanish is actually my first language. Y a pesar de haber estudiado y vivido toda mi vida aquí, nunca deje de hablar el español. My parents wanted us to speak both languages and made it their job to teach us español at home. Por eso ahora cuando la gente se sorprende y me dice “oye, ¡qué bien hablas el español!”, me da muchísimo orgullo que mis padres nos ayudaron a preservar esta parte tan linda de nuestra herencia. No hay como pelear, amar, sentir, y gritar en español. Porque como ustedes bien saben, nuestro vocabulario es mucho más Romántico y amplio. A veces al traducir una palabra de español a inglés se le pierde todo, especialmente la emoción y el corazón.
Por eso cuando me invitaron a participar en “El Día E”, el día oficial para celebrar nuestro idioma alrededor del mundo, no lo tuve que pensar ni un solo instante. Acepte con todo gusto, y aquí les presento mi palabra favorita en el idioma. ¡Gracias a todos por las sugerencias en las redes sociales! Espero les guste el videllito (a y nada más pa’que sepan, la cámara agrega unas cuantas libritas… pensé que debería aclarar eso, jajaja). Compartan sus palabras en español favoritas conmigo porfis!

Not much of an intro is needed for this video, creo yo. You asked the questions, and well, I answered them. Thank you all for participating.
¿Cuál de los dos?
Beginning today, every Friday on Juan of Words I’ll be offering a weekly vlog series titled Viernes Vloguero. Why? Just for fun… and because I’m hoping it will be a good kickoff to all of our weekends. At the very least, a good laugh at my expense.
What will be on it? Mostly burradas that I come up with, strictly for your entertainment, prometo, along with any of your cool ideas that I’m brave enough to carry out… or able to produce in a halfway decent manner. Espero les guste la idea y se sientan libres de dejarme comentarios. ¡Los que sean! (bracing for them)
So this first vlog is on Machos vs. Metrosexuals! Well, more accurately, on how this mexicano came to the realization that I do have more metrosexual in me than I would care to admit. The proof is in all the chucherias stashed away in my restroom right now. Way more than junk than I would have ever imagined!
Can you say facial scrubs and blackhead strips? ¡Uuyy, que cosas!
