How can I say « en el peor de los casos» in english? Could say it with other phrase?

Boring Today I was boring and I though what could I do?, first of all, I ordered my room, after I cleaned the bathroom. How I stilled boring, I played with my brother, we liked to play mancala, it's a table of wood with twelve holds (6 yours and 6 to another player)and inside of them there are four cristal pieces, and you must put one of them inside other in left and if you put one in your empty hold you can take all pieces of your adversario The winner is when someone no have any pieces or who have more pieces. Obviosly the game have more rules, and they must be memorize before played it. Its a very interesting game and more easier than it apper.

Books I have read many books, but i want starting new one, but i don't know which one and i though that italki is a huge community and perhaps people who reads this entry can give me one suggestion, but before you ask me which gener i like, I must write which books i liked more. My plant of Orange Lime ( short and very sad book about a poor boy); the count of Monte Cristo( adventure, revenge and love book), essay of blindness (very descriptive but it didn't boring, the author introduce yourself inside story) and renglones torcidos de Dios (like physiquiatric book, is about a detective woman into a mental institución). Thanks, and I will hope your recomendaciones.

Red lights Today I decide to watch another Robert De Niro's movie, however his character is like a secundary role, because the end it's more than I will expect. This movie is a thriller, but was a litle boring in one part and i fall sleep then And I have to repeat the last 10 minutes to understand the movie. In resume, is a good movie. It's about a phisician that try to discover the fake psych. The end will supervise you.

Movies Recently i saw two funny movies, i recomended you, one is a Robert De Niro's movie, maybe one of the last it's called The Intern it's about a Man in his days of retired and how is starting a new job and new live. The second was The Hot Persuit with Sofía Vergara and reese witherspoon is was a about a cop and a person who testified against cartel.

Pimampiro The last weekend i went in this little city called Pimampiro, it was at north of Ecuador and there live My grandmother. For those days Pimampiro celebrated 135years of creation, and i went to many activities for that. First of all, parade of happiness was in friday, race of wood's handmade cars was on saturday morning and at Night i was in a popular Party . Sunday it was dedicated to sports like fútbol, and Basketball. My days were very funny and relaxing in Pimampiro. Ahhh, it has a wonderfull view and Long fields

Why ? In this days I saw the italki's notebook page such in spanish and english and i have noticed that notebook spanish entries hasn't be corrected less than entries in english. Why do you think that is? I thought that english people were very busy or spanish entries weren't interesting or too long, maybe. Or spanish people are more friendly and that s why they corrected more entries.

Meaning few days ago I read a note, and I realized that a word in my city it is used with a very different meaning than it is in the dictionary is used ,so common is their use now that I wanted to agree , I forget . It has not happened sometimes they want to remember something and can not even have it on the tip of the tongue and can not even have it on the tip of my tongue as they say vulgarly I remembered ! the word was "crisol" , which means container made ​​of refractory material , but it used to say that something remains very clean, (la habitación debe quedar hecha un crisol)
