Secnd semester reflections

This semester has been hard too but the worst of it is has become very long and I think that less productive that the first one. Suddenly is Christmas and I don't have the feeling that I really advance in the university things. I hope it end the soon. The good thing is that I do new things like travel to beautiful places, I enjoy more being in my house and worry about it like buy pretty things. I'm a hoomelover so, be in my house surrounded by my things it's something that I appreciate a lot.  

I'm Happy because this year I live hard thing but now I'm alright, I get over a few things that I think it make me a better person? maybe a more understanding person. I hope the people who I love see that and I expect that a few do the same exercise than me, sometime it's hard but always you have to work on yourself

In general has a good year, of course it have good and bad things but I enjoy the all learning part, to know more people and continue knowing others.
About my evaluations, I think you always have the opportunity of work harder but I try to progress constantly, that is exactly the concept that I try to apply to every category of my life.

Arts and i

When I was in school, one day in an art class, I was doing my final work I realize that I could do that my entire life. So I decided study art and once there I chose for the mention of textile, because is the specialty that I think is closer to the things I want to do in the future.
In my first year I learned about different materials, techniques and operations with them. Was very experimental and autodidact semester however the second semester my classmates and me learned how to weave on loom. We go through traditional tapestry and experimental tapestry. So far we have learned techniques of dyeing like shibori and ikat that consist in dyed reservations by tie and all this aplicated to our personal projects. That’s what I like about textile, because it have a lot of interesting techniques that the most people don’t know so you can create original design almost all the time. That is what I would like to do in the future, mix the things that I love most with the things that I learn in the university.
This year I think a lot about going to somewhere to study clothes design, complement both worlds or something to make me feel comfortable and allow me to live as I want

Cheers

how green are you?

It is not that I don't care about ecology, but I really don't do anything special for it. I mean, when you go to some place where the basket of trash are different for every type of residues, I separate the things but in my house I don't really do the exercise. I don't think that is because of weakness, I mean I even have a trash bin!! I have the thing but I can't put it back the door of kitchen furniture because I need a drill, so, for the moment, I have a very fancy plastic bag. 
Of course I care about ecology, If I can do something about it, I do. I don't have a car neither a bike so, like any mortal person I use the public transport. I try to not contaminate for free when I'm walking in the street or when I go to natural reservations. For ejample, recently I went to Perito Moreno glacier and, before to start the walking for the walkway there was a sing: "from here you can't smoke" but below, close to ice, there was people smoking. I try to don't do that. 
Now that I think I care about it but I don't do much about it, I mean, besides the obviously things.It is some thing I would like to change.
It funny because, always the publicity allude to us when they talk about ecology care, when the impact of a normal person is minimum, the real change must start for the biggest factories, when they have restrictions days?

movies

A movie that I love and a movie that I hate.... First I have Memories of a Geisha a movie of Rob Marsall tell the story of a poor little girl name Chiyo who is sold by her family to an Okia (Geisha house) There, mameha (Like the owner of the okia) try to become a geisha from Chiyo. This movie is mainly about older Chiyo and her struggle as a geisha to find love, in the process making a lot of enemies... chan!
I think it have a coherent esthetics because, although is an American movie you can understand the oriental touch and the casting is very good! Is an example that an American guy can took a slice of story from the other side of the word and turn into a good material, not very ambitious.
All that leads me to a movie that I recently see and opposite to the other, this one promise a lot with a strong argument but left you with a funny taste. I don't know if I hate this movie or if I love it and that is Only God Forgives. Is about Julian, a guy who lives in bangkok and have some troubles with him... He run a boxing club that acts as a front for drug trafficking. His mother, head of a powerful criminal organization, disembarks from the United States to repatriate the body of his favorite son, Billy 's brother Julian was killed after being savagely raped and killed a young prostitute . Full of hatred and revenge, Julian 's mother requires the head of the murderers, for which you must then deal with Chang , a strange retired policeman , adored by the other cops. The movie is basically about the family, the pride and loyalty all this beneath a red mist of revenge but it is to artistically slow and I don't know. It is like those movies that when it end, you are out of words, in the good or in the bad meaning.

A day to remember

I feel like this post and the last one are emotionally deep or not? So lets see, a day to remember that it is important for me because I remember a lot of things... This year, I don't remember exactly when but, someday I was in my mother house, it was early but no so much, like around 11am. I was recently wake up and in the house it was just me and my princes Emilia (my dog) when the phone ring! When I answer the guy say to me that he is a policeman and call me to corroborate a situation; immediately ask me if someone out in the morning from the house and I say: yes! my mom. So this asshole stat to tell me that my mom had an accident, she was hit by a car because she cross the street an inappropriate place and, if that wasn't enough, the people on the car result hurt for train to avoid an imprudent mom. Like I'm a person who love her momy in that point of the story I was desperately crying . After the tragedy the guy on the phone say to me that the person who crush my mom was now, ask for money to not present charges against her and that she say that in some place hide in her bedroom there was money and now I have to find it and take it to somewhere that the guy in the phone decide. 
In that moment, when someone tell you something like that with all the details, I never think that it was trick for rob me! and with the adrenaline I start to look up for the supposed money.. and of course after a very long moment I couldn't found a SH.... They do it to me the "cuento del tio"
I don't know how this people don`t touche with the sadness from the others but, I'm no one to judge but I think there is so many ways to get some money so, why ruin and play with someone feelings?







Special song

I have a lot of specials songs, I'm that kind of girl. You know, when a guy dump you or you wake up in the morning feeling amazing. I have a song for all that kind of stuff. But if I have to chose a particularly special song ( in the deep meaning of special) I would say.. "Black" from Pearl Jam. Even thought I love the band and even more the very old songs, this one is more than special for me. Of course it talk about love or instantly I associate with that jajajja but more than the love stuff, the song transport me a few year ago, when I take "important choices", if I can say that. Makes me remember good and bad days but important for my very own process to "grow up" Now when I hear it, obviously I don't reflect in the deep meaning of the song for me, I also just like it, Pearl jam is catchy and you can imagine your self singing in the typical video for MTV with the ripped clothes, shout suffering and living the song at the most pure style of Eddie. 
We all have a moment in our live when the existential questions start to appear, fortunately in my case, those questions wasn't very much philosophical, do you understand? for example I have a friend that remains in things like The Matrix questions ( It's real the universe around me or it just a dream?) jajajajja he is crazy! 
Anyway, Black and some songs of Pink Floyd are very special to me ;)

My future job

Mmm I think that after university I'll go to somewhere out of this country to study clothing dissing, If the money allow it of course jajajaja. I don't want to go because I don't like Chile or something is just that I would like to live in somewhere else, know different cultures and all that stuff but not for very long time, you know, like for two years or something. Maybe, in this dream place where I'll be studding I work just like a waitress but, once back in Chile I would like to put a little store where I have my sew machine and I can design my very own "dresses".

I would like to teach in some moment of my life, anything, I want to feel what is like but I'm not very sure, my boyfriend do it and it seem very hard. Perhaps if I have more adults students would be more easy and interesting for me. 
I think that whatever I do,if I love it, I'm going to enjoy it, even though sound cliché. Maybe the day of tomorrow I change my mind... who know
