Me and my blog

Upon entering the University of Chile, I thought that it would be my opportunity to learn English properly, however, with many classes and jobs and a short time I had to unfortunately prioritize my compulsory courses in English. Learning languages ​​has always been difficult for me, I had them when I was little with Spanish and I don't know, I hope one day for my life goals to learn to speak and write in English, not just understand. This blog has helped me to think and write in English, also to ask my close ones for help about my doubts. I think I need to learn everything again with English, I know things by heart, also words, I have learned to understand, more than I ever imagined. However, expressing ideas becomes too complex for me. I think I will watch more series on Netflix and try to speak more English with my peers. I do not use English much outside of class or when listening to music or singing it, the truth is that I'm a little embarrassed for not knowing somethin...

Thoughts of me

What has changed in me these months? Do people really change or are only some personality characteristics revealed in times of stress? It may be that I have changed, or rather grown. I have wondered what things really matter in this year, what we should all be doing, when life shakes so much. I do not think that studies or work should matter or be the priority, but to enjoy the little moments. Realize that some people need help and offer it. I do not know if I did not think about this before, I think so. But right now, it is the recurring thoughts and not how this semester will go, not what will happen to my grade point average. I have not changed; I have realized things. Being a person who is always trying to get ahead of the future is not healthy and I am working on it. I have realized that the difficult things in my life have made me who I am, but I have also always been like this, with the same conflicts of anxiety and perfectionism. I have not changed these months, I have gr...

Photography Elective

Image
This semester I chose one of the best electives I ever wanted, the Language and Photographic Composition for Design elective. Due to the context, the classes were difficult, since the explanation is always better in person, but it was still a good class. Classes worked with weekly installments after each topic explained. I liked that methodology because it ordered me during the week and obviously, I had to use my beloved camera. During the semester we learned about composition, photography history, and creating a series of images with a defined theme. But the best information was light. Where we have to learn to play with light and objects, making the object disappear and creating something new in the image. This topic was my favourite because I had to force myself to be as creative as possible, which in this context had become difficult for me. It occurred to me to use a very old glass from my house, it was one of my parents' wedding gifts, and with the light of my phone to pl...

The best website: ILovePDF

In design carrier the works are the way to learn and evaluate. Some of them are concrete, creating physical and tangible objects and solutions. I must say that they are the ones I like the most. But not all there are like this. Others are digital, made by special programs or just written work, and as the visual is the most important thing, we have to place photographs or vectors that add size to the files. The teachers know this, so they put a maximum of weight per file. Here comes the salvation of I Love PDF. The website takes have a choice to do whatever you want with the file and most importantly, compress it. Making it smaller but with the same quality. Also, the site is quite easy to use, take a different option to edit your file. Always I visit this site, I like to compress the file always before delivering them. Here is the link, I hope it serves you as much as it does me. www.ilovepdf.com/es

My life in a pandemic

Hi everybody Today I tell you a little about the present of my life. All days looks the same, the paralyzing classes It was the best thing that could happen to me. I help in my house; we have all done a cleaning of objects and ordered everything. Now they tell me Betty Kondo. Also, I have time for me, I started going to therapy. Actually, I do not have time for really hobbies. I am living in Valdivia for now and the rain does not help. The only hobby maybe has been seeing all the series in Netflix, Amazon, and different platforms of video. I can recommend you the next series: The Handmaid’s Tale, The Good Doctor, The land at night. My obsession in this moment has been the sugar, I do not know how to live without something sweet every day. Now, I´m waiting for the return to classes and that does not drive me crazy.

A photo that I like

This is a picture that represent a moment of quiet and happiness. My boyfriend, Stefan, take the picture, were his eyes seeing me, and that makes me fall in love. Is a picture of me and the place special for us. This picture was a take the last summer from 2019, the first summer with our baby Kyra. It was a busy summer, but not bad, only with a lot of things to do. This picture remembers me a little moment of peace, where we only take advantage of the moment. Also, this picture is one of few that Stefan take me with my camera, I like to share with him my passion of the photography, teach him how use it and practicing taking photos. The camera was how we met, and it is something that will always unite us. Thanks, for reed me, I can be a little in love, maybe a lot.

Me and the street

In the street I see all the ugly of this world. I see the commercial structured for the idealization of problematic the society. For example: Publicity of exercise clothes with people that in life has had overweight problems. And this problem not only because the exercise, there is an infinity of elements in the routine diary and in the life of a person. The bodies are not all the same, and not exist only one what represents good health. Also, in the street, I see the system pyramidal of hierarchy, we are all lest that someone, and more than others. We are forced to compare ourselves by our education, family and where we live. And this, unfortunately I met him living in Santiago. In Valdivia never I had asked myself if it matters where I studied or what my house was like. Maybe life in Valdivia it´s less superficial.

My camera

My technology object favorite is my camera. Is a camera reflex digital of bran Nikon. My parents gave me also a gift for my resilience the year 2016. It was a difficult year. Anyway, my camera is like my baby, always making me company. The photography is my other passion after the design. My camera always travels with me, I fell I see better the world with her, and people see like me when they watch my pictures. Pictures are a memory that last forever and is other language. The only I do not like of the camera is when other people take a picture of me, or at least very few occasions. My life without her would be totally different. My camera teaches me see the things from another point of view, also, teach me enjoy moments alone. And the most important, thanks my baby camera I met the love of my life, my boyfriend.
