¡¡¡Sorpresa!!! he regresado a buscar mis mangos al campo universitario de Jusepin.

Camino sin cesar, y no consigo nada de lo que fue ese lindo campo que siempre estaba lleno de alegrías; Chicos con sus guitarras cantándole al amor, grupos estudiando bajo los árboles y la cola del comedor. De las mascotas recuerdo a la famosa Rafaela, meneando su cola para que le dieran comida. Extraño los pájaros carpinteros y el canto de las coro coras anunciando las lluvias. Había plantas frutales por todas partes, pero las más famosas y deseadas eran las de mango.
OMG, después de salir del comedor, mis compañeras de residencia escogíamos que mango deseábamos degustar. Decíamos:

Tin marin de dos pirigue…

La mata de manga de la estación experimental y la mata de mangos redondos que se encontraba frente al laboratorio de Entomología eran nuestras preferidas. Pero la estación estaba muy lejos y dejábamos las mangas para la tarde, cuando el sol cayera y la tarde estuviera más fresca. Bajo la manga entablábamos nuestras tertulias y chismes de la farándula leyendo la revista Ronda. También los enamorados aprovechaban de pelar pava, como decimos los venezolanos.

De la peladera de pava o noviazgo bajo la mata de manga de la estación nacieron muchos amores, y de los cuales algunos se consolidaron y formaron un hogar. Todo gracias a una deliciosa manga. OMG, en realidad, como esas mangas no he vuelto a comerme otra en mi vida. El campo universitario era una belleza y de esto no queda nada. Solo las asas de los empleados y algunas residencias que hoy habitan familias.

La mayoría de las clases eran en la mañana porque los profesores viajaban de la Ciudad de Maturín, muy pocos vivían en el campo universitario. Había un solo teléfono Público en la entrada o portón donde estaba el vigilante. Ahí esperábamos que nos llamaran y hacíamos la cola para nosotros llamar.

Los días miércoles, el autobús nos llevaba a Maturín a las siete de la noche, y regresaba a las nueve. Aprovechábamos de ir al cine, de hacer compras y de visitar a la familia. El Club Sucre era el único sitio en Jusepin donde íbamos a bailar. La única estación de radio que se escuchaba era Radio Maturín, y el DJ de esa época tenía un gusto que para qué les cuento. OMG, solo colocaba vallenatos y una canción conocida como “Nayla”, y esta dice así:

“Nayla, di por qué me abandonas, si bien sabes que te quiero…”

Esta melodía es del colombiano Rodolfo Aicardi. Está basada en un poema del español Federico García Lorca conocida como: “La casada infiel”. Ahora que lo pienso bien, pobrecito el DJ, estaba muy despechado y engañado por un amor que lo traicionó. Espero se haya recuperado. Tengo muchas anécdotas del campo universitario, y recuerdo con cariño a todos los compañeros que me acompañaron en este camino.

Se me olvidó decirle que las venezolanas usamos la expresión: “¡¡¡Mango!!!” Cuando un hombre es buen mozo y guapo. También, cuando nos atrae y decimos: “Está como para chuparse los dedos”. Todos los venezolanos son muy jocosos, siempre bromeando, echando chistes y haciendo meme. Quizás esta manera de ser ayuda a sobrellevar los problemas.

Amigos de #Empowertalent, hay tiempos buenos y tiempos malos, pero en mi opinión, el encontrar amigos en el camino para apoyarnos mutuamente es lo mejor que le puede pasar a una persona. Todas las personas que pasan por nuestra vida son necesarias. Quizás algunas no sean leales y salgan de manera abrupta, pero para bien o para mal, cumplieron su misión. De esa amistad nos queda la experiencia y esto nos ayuda para no volver a tropezar.

En el mundo hay gente buena y hay que tratar en lo posible de estar en este grupo, porque los buenos siempre seguiremos siendo más. Agradezco por todos los amigos que me ha dado la vida, tanto del mundo real como del virtual.

This year the season of mangifera or commonly known as mango, is very good and they are found everywhere. There are all varieties; round, tino, and dudu, gold and others. My favorite ones are the delicious mangas. Surprise, surprise, the mangoes have arrived and with them you have to clean the garden twice a day and they also attract flies and mosquitoes. I need a magic wand or a robot to clean the garden.

As I enjoy the rain, I hear the "Plop!" the mangoes make as they fall to the ground. I think back to my life at Jusepín University Campus and everything revolved around mangoes. Student life, I think, is the best since the only responsibility is to study. OMG, running to pick up a mango from the ground. Believe it or not, this is very dangerous friends because any animal can also want the mango.

A fellow resident, who thank God survived, tried to pick up a mango and at that very moment a snake bit her hand. I am very cautious when I go to pick something up because you never know where a snake or poisonous animal might come from and give me a scare. My life at the Jusepin university camp was very good, and I have beautiful memories and great friendships.

Like any student with ups and downs, I passed and failed, but I always kept going. I never gave up, even when I didn't practice this career and I don't like the maticas. I have many friends from that time and we still keep in touch. Thanks to technological advances and social networks, we are united. Three years ago we formed a Whatsapp group.

Through this medium we chat and send each other memes, prayers and congratulations to those who have birthdays. I remember them all with great affection and send them a big virtual hug. Mangoes and anecdotes with them are reasons for joy and smiles. The mango is the symbol of the group, and the singers of the group at the end of the year are given the Golden Mango award, given by the activities team.

Mango!!! It's a shuttle to my residence. I'm back here #Hive friend.

Surprise!!! I'm back to get my mangoes at Jusepin's university campus.

I walk endlessly, and get nothing of what was that nice field that was always full of joys; Boys with their guitars singing to love, groups studying under the trees and the dining hall queue. Of the pets I remember the famous Rafaela, wagging her tail for food. I miss the woodpeckers and the singing of the chorus coras announcing the rains. There were fruit plants everywhere, but the most famous and desired ones were the mangoes.

OMG, after leaving the dining hall, my dorm mates would choose which mango we wanted to taste. We would say:

Tin marin de dos pirigue....

The mango tree at the experimental station and the round mango tree in front of the Entomology lab were our favorites. But the station was far away and we would leave the mangas for the afternoon, when the sun would fall and the evening would be cooler. Under our sleeves, we would engage in our conversations and gossip about show business by reading Ronda magazine. Lovers also took the opportunity to pelar pava, as we Venezuelans say.

Many loves were born from the "peladera de pava" or courtship under the manga bush of the season, and some of them consolidated and formed a home. All thanks to a delicious manga. OMG, actually, I have never eaten manga like that in my life. The university campus was a beauty and nothing is left of it. Just the employee lobbies and some residences that are now inhabited by families.

Most of the classes were in the morning because the professors traveled from the city of Maturin, very few lived in the university campus. There was only one public telephone at the entrance or gate where the guard was. There we waited for them to call us and we queued up to call ourselves.

On Wednesdays, the bus would take us to Maturin at seven in the evening and return at nine. We would take the opportunity to go to the movies, go shopping and visit family. Club Sucre was the only place in Jusepin where we went dancing. The only radio station we listened to was Radio Maturin, and the DJ at that time had a taste for what I can't tell you. OMG, he only played vallenatos and a song known as "Nayla", and it goes like this:

"Nayla, say why are you abandoning me, if you well know that I love you..."

This melody is by Colombian Rodolfo Aicardi. It is based on a poem by the Spaniard Federico García Lorca known as: "La casada infiel" (The unfaithful married woman). Now that I think about it, poor little DJ, he was very scorned and deceived by a love that betrayed him. I hope he has recovered. I have many anecdotes from college camp, and I fondly remember all the classmates who accompanied me on this road.

I forgot to tell you that we Venezuelan women use the expression, "Mango!!!" When a man is handsome and handsome. Also, when we are attracted to him and we say: "He is finger-licking hot". All Venezuelans are very jocular, always joking, cracking jokes and making memes. Maybe this way of being helps to cope with problems.

Friends of #Empowertalent, there are good times and bad times, but in my opinion, finding friends along the way to support each other is the best thing that can happen to a person. All the people who pass through our lives are necessary. Maybe some are not loyal and leave abruptly, but for better or worse, they fulfilled their mission. From that friendship we keep the experience and this helps us not to stumble again.

In the world there are good people and we must try as much as possible to be in this group, because the good ones will always be more. I am grateful for all the friends that life has given me, both in the real and virtual world.

Thank you for visiting my Blog at #Hive.
