MAFE!!

Her real name is Maria Fernanda but everyone calls her MAFE. She was born in Peru but up until last year she was living here, in São Paulo. Now she is currently back home in her senior year. I really do hope that she ends up coming for college in the city because not only is she one of my best friends but, she has also given me many, many unforgettable moments.


She was the one that presented chapel to me when I first arrived in Brazil back in the year 2006 when I was a 7th grader. We didn’t have the best start but by the end we had already become inseparable. She is hilarious, charming, smart, influential, and pretty. She tought me a lot about life and how to look at it from completely different perspectives.

We have a few traditions that occur almost every time I meet her. We like to go shopping a lot where we can try on clothes that will NEVER be in our wardrobe while we take pictures. We later enjoy ice cream or depending on where we are we go to Franz Café. Our biggest tradition is Martinezlandia which, is nothing huge or anything like that. We do a sleepover at my house where we watch various movies, we bake too many cakes to eat, and we talk about our feelings for endless hours.
