The best escapist in the feline world

Hello! How are you everyone? I have to admit that my day didn't start very well, but I hope that it will get better soon. Sometimes you got to stay calm and be positive :)

So..did you ever know how I look like? Ah well, you saw the picture when I was in Arica with my friends, Maria Jose y Francisco, so you may have an idea about how I am. But you never saw a picture of my little friend Robert Houdini. I'll show you a photo when he arrived to my house:
  


    This photo was taken by my boyfriend Oscar,  the day that I adopted my baby. It was a sunday in november, but sadly I don't remember exactly the date. The story goes like this: In that sunday morning, when Oscar and I were going out of the market, a married couple came around with a bunch of cats in a box. They told us that the cats and  the mother were abandoned in their garden's house. They didn't know what to do, so they were in the market giving the babys of the cat, because they only could take care of the mother. I doubt about take one of those cats, because I live alone in a department, so if I went to the college or somewhere else, who would take care of the kitty? 

  But Oscar knew that I always wanted a cat for pet and how lonely I felt because my family is far away, so he insisted to take one of them. With his support, I decided to choose the little one that was desesperated to get out of the box. For his playfull attitude and the repeated times he tried to escape from the box, we called him Robert Houdini (for Robert Houdin and Harry Houdini). I love this photo because he was so little and cute, also he was very excitated with the ball I bought him. However, he was very scary in his new home. In the photo he is calm, but in all that day he hide of us. 

  Today, my baby is not a little one, he grown up in a healthy way and I'm very happy about it.






 He runs around the house with a plastic bag in his mouth or a shoelace, goes for a walk in the backyard and a days ago he came with a present: a dying rat. I was scared all night long.


   That's the story of my roommate! Now, he maybe is sleeping or playing around the house jajajaja

See you soon!


Take care and eat cake! ;)

My best enemy in the world

Good morning to everyone! I hope you don't read this with a zombie-6:00 of the morning- face (jajajajaja). Today was normal for me, the subway wasn't full of people, so for me it is a regular way to start the day :)


 I have a question for you...Did you sometime felt really alone? I mean, that it didn't matter with how many people were around you, if it wasn't that special one you feel sad? Somedays I feel in that way.
All of you may not know this, but since I live here in Santiago, I'm living alone in a department. It was difficult for me in the beginning, but my boyfriend, my Santiago's friends (Rosita and Camila) and even my cat helped to diminish that little pain.  However, I always remember my Arica's friends nostalgically ,especially three of them: Francisco, Maria Jose and Sarui. 


    Because today I saw some videos that Francisco sent to me, I'll tell you about him...It's a weird friendship story: We met when I was 11 years old, he was new in my classroom and...Well... I HATE HIM. He was the boy that I always tried to avoid  and he always tried to talk or at least say hello to me. That behavior of mine was because some girls told me that he had a crush of me. So, like the ingenuous little girl as I was, I believed their lie and my answer for that was "UGH NO!!" and so I run away from he for a long time in school...even when it was a time that I didn't remember why I hate him so much.
    
    So, when we share places in the directive of the elementary school (I was president and he secretariat) at the age of 14, we met each other so much better. I think that he become one of my best friends because he is a good listener, someone who you can trust, really cheerful and even when we had some argument, we still being close friends. 


  Uhm...Now that I think about it, I have to say that the way how we met is my best memory with him, in fact, when we remember it, we laugh about it and I ask to myself "How dumb was I, that I didn't realize that he was a marvelous person?" 


 Now that I'm so far of him and busy with the college, we don't have the chance for take a time and go to walk, go to the cinema, to dance in a club, to lunch a improvised tacos, to watch some funny videos... That kind of stuff that you start to appreciate when the person is so far away. When I went to Arica for summer vacations, I met with him and another friends. In the picture shared for you, I was with Fran and Maria Jose, and behind you can see the lights that illuminate the Arica's Morro. It was a great night, and even when I spend time with them like the"old times", I knew that nothing would be the same..and I think that they also knew it.




      
       I don't want to imagine a life without my dearest friends, or even without all of them. So I try very hard to don't lose communication and caring about their problems,even when I not there to share my shoulder and comfort they.


       Take care of the people that loves you, that's all I can say. In that way, you would never  regret of the things that you didn't share with they. Make you better effort and so you would have they for the rest of your live, supporting each other in the best and worst times. 


      See you soon! :)

Drawing digitally

    Hi, everyone! How are you? I'm a little tired because today I had to wake up a little early (6:00 in the morning) So... Yesterday's holiday was enough for resting in this week? I hope so!


    Well, you already know that I have the bad habit of drawing in everywhere, even when I have to pay attention to something very important (like classes, for example). But something that I didn't tell you was that I also draw digitally, thanks to my personal digital chalkboard. There is a example of how it's this gadget. 






   A 4 years ago, in Christmas, my aunt Vania gave me a present. I had no idea what it could be, because when she ask me: "What gift do you want in holidays?" , my answer was: "Nothing in particular...so, surprise me". When I opened the box, I saw that little gadget, ready to be used in any moment that I wanted. In fact, I already used it, I connected the USB cable to my laptop, installed the programm and started to draw. But I never imagine how difficult would be draw in that thing. Then, it took me months to learn how move the pencil, coordinate that movements with the picture in the screen, also painting, the shadows, the details, etc. So, in this days I can use it without a problem, and that is fruit of all the labor with only perseverance :)




Let me show you a little piece of my work








   Anyway, in this days I don't use it very often. In fact, since I started the college, I draw in sporadic time...It makes me sad, because I learned a lot of things and met a lot of people thanks to submitting pictures in internet. Without it, I probably stayed in the pencil and paper, and I never knew the others way to draw that are in this word.


  So, I'm very thankfull to my aunt for giving me that present ;)


Well, that's all for today, my beloved fellas! (jajajaja)  The last thing I have to say is that even when my chalkboard was a expensive gift, the importance that I gave to it with all that work and patience, is even more that the price. You may have something that represent the same thing, no?


See you later!


Take care and eat cake! :D
