If I remember right, boloque means like a bundle.

As far as the word bicho it simply means bug/insect in Mexico.

Jane, your avatar is quite mysterious.
Thank you Maria for changing that annoying teddy bear for something more animate.

I'm glad you like it. I think Jane doesn't agree with you, though. I don't know how long it will last anyway. I suppose by now you've noticed that I think variety is the spice of life...
About terms of endearment, I would like to say I very often invent my own, especially when I talk to the children. There's a new one every day.
P.S. I'm thinking of a beach ball for my next avatar.

Leí en un poema por Gabriela Mistral (Creo que fue excrito por ella, pero tal vez no) en que ella invento la palabra dulcedumbre. A mi me parece muy cariña.
María, eres una pelotera caprichosa.

Mysterious could be a good thing, Poli, and right now I like mysterious.
But like Iris rightly said, who knows for how long...

Who says I don´t?
I know you can do better than that, though.
Something more you.

Is this more me, Jane? At least it reflects my saintliness...The pelota element is missing, though...

I can't speak for that mysterious Jane, but personally I think cupid would be a better choice over angel. Cupids are lovely little innocent dieties of amor. The art of love requires more pelota than a typical angel would use. A simple formula: angel + = cupid .

Seems to me a throttle angel. Quite good.
