It was really a guessing.....understandable only by Argentinians.....

Being a native Spanish speaker I couldn't find any clue.....so definitely it was very challenged or any Spanish learner.....

I really never heard this saying, but let me try.....

"Pasar este examen profesional me está costando mucho esfuerzo, libros, clases, estudiar de amanecida, hasta dejé mi empleo para dedicarle tiempo y hasta ahora nada....Qué cara esta la cebolla!!....."

(It's just an example....it's not the history of my life, eh!)

Example? Just of being sad. Onion fumes cause tears. If you look sad then you have the "face of an onion." Onion-face.
