SAYINGS 'EL QUE POR SU GUSTO MUERE AUNQUE LO ENTIERREN PARADO'

This saying goes: the one that does something by its own will, will do it and keep on, even if that involves things that are apparently not favorable.

The one who dies out of his or her own will, will do so even if he or she has to be buried standing up.

I keep thinking about this saying in leu of our move to Guatemala. There are many things we will miss from the US and objectively we might be better off over there yet we are here and every time I found something that I am having to bear thanks to this decision I just think to myself: El que por su gusto muero aunque lo entierren parado!

QUE LECHE!!

Ever since I have been back in my element, expressions I have not used for so long have been coming out of my mouth, one of them being QUE LECHE!.

Que leche would literally mean What milk! but the idiomatic meaning is What luck! or Que mala leche! What bad luck!

I think I recently used it when I was talking to Walter my cousin`s husband about his travels through Mexico and how much leche you need to have to come out with no major incidents.
