Christmas Wishes To Chayanne And The Readers Of Pandora's Caja

Christmas 2010 has almost passed, but it would be remiss of me if I let it go by without a blog post. This blog post has absolutely no new information or scoop on Chayanne...actually it's all about me.....and the things that I wish for Christmas. (Please forgive the translation, you realize that I'm language challenged *laugh*)
(Por favor, perdona la traducción, te das cuenta de que estoy idioma impugnada *reir*)
I have already been given all that I could want for Christmas, the health, happiness and well-being of my loved ones.....so what else could I possibly wish for or want?

For Chayanne ~ I wish for you continued health, joy and blessings. I wish for you to know how much you have given to me and all the Chayanne fans of the world. I wish for you laughter beyond reason...after all laughter is the cure for whatever might be ailing you. I wish for you safe travels to where ever life may take you...but most of all I wish for you to have peace and for you and your family to be blessed.

Navidad de 2010 casi se ha pasado, pero sería negligente de mi parte si lo dejo pasar sin una entrada de blog. Este blog no tiene absolutamente ninguna información nueva o primicia sobre Chayanne ... en realidad es todo sobre mí ..... y las cosas que quiero para Navidad.

Ya he dado todo lo que pueda desear para la Navidad, la salud, la felicidad y el bienestar de mis seres queridos ..... así que ¿qué otra cosa podía yo posiblemente desear o quiere?

Por ~ Chayanne te deseo continuo de la salud, la alegría y bendiciones. Quiero que sepas lo mucho que le han dado a mí ya todos los fans de Chayanne del mundo. Deseo para usted la risa allá de la razón ... después de todo la risa es la cura para lo que pudiera ser usted enfermo. Deseo que usted viaje seguro a donde quiera que la vida puede tener ... pero sobre todo quiero que usted tenga paz y para usted y su familia para ser bendecidos.


 To Bariloche ~  My Caja comrade in arms...thank you for walking with me in what I hope is just the beginnings of a really great ride! I wish for you your true hearts desire.....the funny thing is...when we look for it...it never comes...it's like the proverbial "watched pot" LOL....sucks right!

To My Guajira Sisters in Arms ~ (You know exactly who you are *smile*) I wish for you all that you could ever dream of....I believe that we all find happiness in the most unlikely of places, and all of you have played a larger part in my happiness than you will ever know....so I wish for you that the happiness that you have given to me will be returned to you ten-fold.

To all of the readers and supporters of Pandora's Caja ~ A few of you I have come to know by name, but many of you I have not, but I hold Christmas wish for all of you, because all of you are special to me.....I wish that when you read this you will know that you inspire me to do what it is that I do....to try and share with you even if it's in a small way the joy that I have found on my Chayanne journey....I wish that wherever you are that you are safe, happy and healthy this Christmas and all the days that follow. *HUGS*


And with all of that said.....Merry Christmas to all...and to all a good night.....

~Peace

A mis hermanas Guajira de armas ~ ( sabes exactamente quién eres *sonrisa*) Deseo que todos ustedes que jamás podría soñar .... creo que todos encontrar la felicidad en el más inverosímil de los lugares, y todos que han desempeñado un papel más importante en mi felicidad de lo que nunca se sabe .... por lo que deseo para ti que la felicidad que me han dado será devuelto a usted diez veces.

A todos los lectores y seguidores de la Caja de Pandora ~ Algunos de ustedes me han llegado a conocer por su nombre, pero muchos de ustedes yo no tengo, pero tengo deseo de Navidad para todos ustedes, porque todos ustedes son especiales para . .... Me gustaría que cuando usted lea esto sabrá que me inspiran a hacer lo que es lo que hago .... para tratar de compartir con ustedes aunque sea en pequeña medida la alegría que he encontrado en Chayanne mi viaje .... Me gustaría que estés donde estés que son seguros, sanos y felices en esta Navidad y todos los días que siguen. ABRAZOS * *

Y con todo esto dicho ..... Feliz Navidad a todos ... ya todos una buena noche .....

~ Paz

Chayanne and Charytin Unlocked! (Entire Interview, English Translation)

You know I couldn't be satisfied with simply showing you the clips of the interview....I needed to know what they were saying, and I want any English speaking fan who saw these clips (and doesn't speak Espanol *wink*) to be able to at least follow along.

Many, many thank to Maria Tajeda for the incredible amount of work that she put into this amazing translation of the ENTIRE Chayanne and Charytin interview.

I'm not going to take up too much of your time....I know you want to get down to the nitty-gritty! Enjoy
~Peace



Charytin :  This renowned music idol whom I  Iove so much made me so happy by having him so close to me in flesh and blood…AGAIN!

Charytin:  I have a cousin whose name is Antonia, who asked me to touch Chayanne to check how everything is, yes,   Antonia, that’s her name and I am doing this for her (laughs)

Chayanne: Yes, Antonia, look, touch here Antonia….I wonder who Antonia is? (laughs)

Charytin:  Yes, Antonia, it is exactly how it looks or I would say even better!  Antonia, I will give you all the details later.
Charytin:  This year, 2010, was Chayanne’s year!  How did you keep the balance in your life this past year?

Chayanne:  The balance in my life this year, as well as the balance throughout my career is that I have been very fortunate Charytin.  I’ve been very lucky and I am super happy with my life and the skin that I am in. 

Charytin:  How do you keep your image so clean and serious and yet at the same time have that flirtiness about you and that flavor? 

Chayanne: Ever since I was 10 years old and left my house to start my career, I have been guided by the values and education that my mom and dad gave me.  And in regards to scandals, what happens is that no one finds about the bad things that I do, just kidding (laughs).

Charytin:  Christmas is here!

Chayanne: Yes, how wonderful!

Charytin: Thinking back to Christmas when Chayanne was a young boy, tell me what flavors, what smells, what do you remember about the holidays, what did you do to celebrate?

Chayanne:  My memory of Christmas is very special and I have always returned to my roots, to Puerto Rico, where you have your home, and where all of you have a home too.  Christmas in Puerto Rico is very special.  I get together with my parents, my brothers, with my nieces and nephews, with the different aromas, with the streets where I grew up, with all these beautiful memories, it’s amazing!

Charytin: How does Chayanne create memories with his children, like when your kids says…daddy remember this, mommy remember this?

Chayanne:  This is done with great dedication of my time.  I am not the only person that travels; many professions require people to travel.  What I like to do is have quality time with my children, when I am home I like to create those memories, for example going to Disney for two days, another day we go to the beach, another special day we eat together at the table as a family because it is a tradition, and little by little this is what creates those wonderful memories with your family.

Charytin:  Chayanne, somebody who travels as much as you do, and runs into so many women who are in love with you, including myself, how do you overcome these temptations?

Chayanne:  Well, I (laughs), I am the type of person who loves to listen, so I listen to them, I would actually sit down and listen (laughs).  No, I like to give a lot of love, and of course flirting exists and when I am in a show and I exchange a certain look with someone, yes, I  truly believe all of this exists.

Charytin: And your fans expect this from you!

Chayanne: Yes, of course, and I live that moment, and I stop there..period…suspense!

Charytin: And would we find someone like you taking his wife out dancing on a Saturday night?

Chayanne:  Yes, I could take her out but you will not see me dancing.  I love to watch people and especially when we are out in a place where people are dancing, I just love to watch.  And if you happen to see me dance a little introverted, sort of like a rock, not much movement (laughs).  But I guess I could dance salsa, I really enjoy this dance, and I feel it and dance it not only on the outside but in the inside too.

Charytin:  I wish all the best to your family, your success; I wish all the best in the world to you.  I remember when I was little girl and used to watch you (laughs).  I love you so much, I admire you, and I wish you all the very best!

Chayanne: Thank you very much!  Thank you for all your love and I feel very fortunate for all that has been sent to me from up above!




Charytin made Chayanne break into a sweat during this interview!

Charytin: Someone told me that in one of your shows a woman got up on stage and took of all her clothes (laughs).  What was that and what would a person do if this happens?

Chayanne:  This was a show within a show!!!  She didn’t actually come up on stage but she did get on top of her chair and took off her pants and her shirt.  And I saw that she was dancing and having a good time so I kept on doing my show, what can I do?  I could not stand there and watch her and tell her, be careful, it’s cold (laughs). I receive A LOT of love from my fans!!

Charytin:   They throw bras, panties, etc.  I heard that the members of the band save some of these garments and have a collection.

Chayanne:  Yes, beautiful garments! But I think this is a form of affection right?  It’s an intense passion and I truly enjoy my show to the fullest! And I love interacting with my fans and flirting with them.

Charytin: Chayanne, a few months back, in Argentina, one of your friends and co-actresss, Romina Yan, passed away.  I didn’t know her but I have to tell you that it impacted me and I cried when I heard the news.  I heard you were very affected by her sudden death since you and her had worked together in the past.

Chayanne:  I don’t like to talk about this very much, but since you brought it up, let me tell you a little more.  We did a soap opera in Argentina named “Provocame”, just like the name of my song.  It was Romina Yan and Aracelys Gonzales, two very talented and loved actresses.  And when I heard the news and the way it happened, so sudden, and the fact that she was so beautiful and so young.  She was at the peak of her career and a few days later it was going to be Mother’s Day.  All these things were going around in my head, and you get very emotional.  You ask yourself how these things can happen.  And it’s obvious that I don’t want to continue talking about this , but I have to tell you that I was in Mexico when I heard the news and I asked everyone to have a moment of silent.  I am not sure if everyone there understood but I explained to them that this was for a friend whom I had worked with and passed away.  When a person that you know passes away, of course you feel bad, but when it is someone close to you, that you love, that you have worked with, it is totally different and it affects you immensely. 

Charytin:  This tour that you are on has been so successful and all of your shows have been sold out.  But now you are going to continue your tour and will be traveling to Mexico, Puerto Rico on the 11th, 12th, and 13th of February, Valentine’s Day weekend and then you continue your tour.  Tell me more about this!

Chayanne:  Well, I am going to Mexico for the second part of my tour.  I am also going to Viña del Mar Festival and I am going back to Argentina.  I am also going to Peru, Venezuela, Panama, Costa Rica…I don’t want to forget any of the countries.  We’ve been to Spain already and for Valentine’s Day weekend we will be in Puerto Rico, the 11th, 12th, and 13th.  And this brings me a lot of emotion because I am from Puerto Rico and my family and friends are there and it brings you so much pride to sing in your own country. 

Charytin: Your show is very moved, you also have many ballads but most of the show is very high energy.  I think you should eat bananas to have more energy…they are very good; you’ve never seen a monkey laying down on the floor (they both burst into laughter).  So remember eat lots of bananas! So your shows are very full of energy right?

Chayanne: Yes, very full of energy – you made me sweat with that one (laughs).

Charytin:  I think you are the best dancer in the world right now, at least you are to me, and I am sure a lot of people feel the same way.  Would we find someone like you taking his wife out dancing on a Saturday night?

Chayanne:  Yes, I could take her out but you will not see me dancing.  I love to watch people and especially when we are out in a place where people are dancing, I just love to watch.  And if you happen to see me dance a little introverted, sort of like a rock, not much movement (laughs).  But I guess I could dance salsa, I really enjoy this dance, and I feel it and dance it not only on the outside but in the inside too.

Charytin:  Every time you express yourself you do it with such honesty, so beautifully.  And in your shows you transmit all your love and your energy to your fans. 

Chayanne:  Thank you!

Charytin:  I wish you a lot of success, more and more each day, you have the support of your recording label, people that love you, and your band while touring.  I wish you all the best in the best in the world. I admire you, I love you and I remember watching you when I was a little girl (laughs).

Chayanne:  Thank you for all your love, to all my fans for their unconditional love, my family, and I give you all my love from the bottom of my heart.  I feel very fortunate for all that has been sent to me from up above! Thank you Charytin...the same to you!

Charytin: Thank you!

Chayanne Talks About His Temptations (Article Translation)

20/12/2010
By: Betty Marriaga
Please see the article in it's original version on "Lo Qe Te Perdiste 



In a rare interview, Chayanne, speaking from one of the favorite corners of your home. His refuge, and the place where no one had arrived.

Charytín, the blonde from America and Escandalo TV aired an interview with the artist, who revealed details of their lives, their stories and experiences of Christmas with their loved ones.

For the singer in 2010 has been a lucky year: "It was a 2010 full of joy and good times. I have been fortunate to have a life so balanced and happy. "


The way to get away from the evils of fame have been the values that my parents gave me: "I've always been driven by the education of mommy and daddy. The level scandal do not know ... is that bad I do not see, "he admits, laughing.


 Chayanne Christmas was great: "My Christmas Recupero is to return to my roots in Puerto Rico. Christmas is a special time. It meet my parents, siblings, cousins and friends. "


With children, Chayanne is a slogan that is to give them quality time, "The Disney ride, ride to the beach and eat at the table, are moments that I live with intensity so that my children remember it."

"To overcome the temptations with the girls, I can be cute in the middle of a show, but I live up there ....and others, continue ... "he laughs.


"As for dancing in public recognize that I am not very social dancer, and although I do at shows, at family parties I am more introverted, but live in the sauce as you have no idea, and yes I dance, but not "concluded Chayanne.

Chayanne Opened His Heart to Charytin


Una Navidad Magica, which was hosted by celebrity host, Charytin, was an extremely lovely Christmas special. Full of all the sparkle and holiday magic that could be provided by having Disney, probably the most magical places in the world as a back drop.



But of course, the highlight of the special was an interview that Charytin had with our favorite Chayanne. (Of course I'm biased, but you knew that right?)



Just in case you missed the interview, here it is for your viewing pleasure.
