My Future Job

I really don´t know how start to talk about some kind of job that I would like to have, because if someone pay me, it's a incredible idea, I need a lot of money because Santiago is too expensive for an student ... art student!!! . Today have two works and it's difficult for me wait for a fantastic work in the cancun or whatever, but ... I want to work in that way someday.  In the real life the work is complicated.

My real job my real work would perhaps settle with some workshop with some classmate, make my own creations and sell them or definitely work on some fixes place and not have to do directly with my career, it would be as realistic and....If one day I become in a recognized artist  I hope to work in art, and earn some money with this, I want to travel around the world with my art work, preferably not in an office, and especially I want to know all America with my camera and live my life in differents places for learn and discover the astronomy, agriculture and others topics. 
I think that we have to learn from the ancients, see and act like the ancients because by the history we can be better persons and do right things. We can't forget our roots and if I can be a contribution, with my work, I'm glad to help for a teach to others and with the art build a new vision of the world, this would be my dream job.

The Perfect song

When I was a teenager (oh, I'm still a teenager. Yeah) I used to listen Placebo. The thing I liked about them is that they were weird, not in a negative way, but in a good way, because they were something new for a young girl who was looking for her identity. I felt represented with that slow-sad music, because I was a lonely teenager fighting against the world. The album is called Sleeping with Ghosts there's a song that I love is called speacial needs Brian Molko sings, I remember listening a lot in winter way home after school with this song I feel great peace to hear, but the song sounds more melancholic I to imagine many situations when listening especially when traveling from Talca to Santiago and backwards, I always imagined videoclips that at some point wanted to do but were only in my imagination. The video of the song I also like a lot by using air pressure to make the simulation there are two people hugging. I would have liked to go to the concert of them when they came in chile, but at that time did not have enough money to go and if you now do a concert, only I go for melancholia to bring me the group, because since pulled the drummer who had their last discs I do not like much.

A day I will always remember

I still remember that day my cousin called to say he could not go to the concert of radiohead and because of that he decided to give me the ticket to the concert it was when I was nineteen years old. In that year, 2009, I recently had left the school, It was a very exciting situation for me because it meant having to travel to Santiago, get together with the friend of my cousin who I did not know (although I did not care much if he knew or not) and being at a concert of one of my bands favorite !! I could not believe it!! definitely that day became one of my favorites, and the day of the concert, everything he did was special, being in a different place, traveling alone, all preparations for the concert, running when they opened the stadium gates, locate and then just wait for the show radiohead, the truth was very beautiful everything, I still remember everything and want to repeat that same day but over the years I have now, there is little difference of years, but many more seem.

Artist I Admire

This picture is a drawing from Don Hertzfeldt, he is the creator of many short animated films. He uses an older metod for his animations, he takes photos from each drawing (frame-by-frame). Other animators use the tecnologic from his works, that is why i like this animator. This is a frame from the short animated called "Rejected" from 2000, and it was win 27 Awards and nominated for Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 2000. I don´t know when Don Hertzfeldt was take this photo, probably, one or two years before 2000. I like this animation because is a funny situation for one cloud and his friends (other clouds), in the beginning, he scream "Everybody dance" and all clouds dance with a music from the Swedish Christmas song, Nu är det jul igen. Until, the cloud starts bleeding, and scream "my anus is bleeding". The others clouds don´t answer and they still dancing. I like the ironic sound of happiness with the pain of one cloud, the music is happy and friendly for the situacion. I think it´s a ridiculous history, and brutally situation very hilarius. I recommend find and watch other shorts films from this animator.

The best holidays I've ever had!

Since a girl, always go to the mountains, in Region del Maule, my family have a very nice house there, so every holiday we visit that place called Cipreses. I went all my childhood there, that's why I have a good memories from there. I've also been to the beach , but not the same I prefer the mountain. When I go to Cipreses, I feel great, because it's so quiet, and I can read some books or see any movie in my laptop, or just sleep under the trees. I stayed around 5 or 6 weeks there. I really love that place. But my last holiday I didn't go, I prefer stayed with my cousin, him mother, and my grandfather. These two months I worked in a supermarket like a packer When I finished that job, I save up so much money, after that I buy a lot of things for the apartment, like a pretty dining room set. But actually we still haven't a refrigerator (its so hard living without that). Anyway, always think in Cipreses like a nice place to stay alone, or if you want, you can stay with some friends. But always you feel great, because that place it's amazing, and for me, it's an important part of my life.

Since 2006 I want to go Iceland and live there many years. I think, the people there its amazing, they are living in a unknown place. Iceland is an island from north of europe, near from England. Later, when I was 20 I saw the movie "Heima" (a documentary from Sigur Ros) and I thought about to know or maybe living there. Because the landscape it's so beautiful you can see the mountains and the ocean. Personally, I like two musicians from there, Sigur Ros and Bjork. I think to that place has a relationship with human behavior. In "heima" the people are pacify, because the climate of there, makes the conditions for relaxing. In the cold weather, you need to stay close than any source of heat, like in the south of chile, the people maybe it's like that. Or maybe I'm just thinking wrong. Anyway, always I want to live in other place such a Japan, butafter this career I want to go out, I just wanna take a camera, a laptop, and traveling with a friend, recording and make videos. The only problem I had, I dont want to leave my little cat (Cabernet) alone. From the moment I need to prepare a plan for carry Cabernet with family member. Cya!
