The blog experience

In the first momment with the blog I was nervous Im not good to express myself minus in another language, the first blog I thought that I will do my best to have my first blog in the life, to be me.
And It was like a lot of self discovering in some topics (I didnt even know what was my favorite food </3) and a lot of funny to read about my other classmates blogs ♡ they are so cute, and Im a little shy, so with the blogs I can meet more my classmates and comments their blogs with love and let they something special.
So in this blog I can show myself, and express yourself in another language is like a new experience to practice and thinking about how can you say the words that you known in your native language.
So I feel confortable to be me and could have some space for recreation and talk about my personal tastes, like tv series or my favorite subject was like talk about things that you just talk when you meet some new person

And well the easy part for me was talk but know and meet my own person was a little harder.
Thanks for giving me this space

Ode to the pickles

Well I wonder too much time "what is my favorite food? Lasagna? Green beans? Maruchan?" But I thought something that always makes me happy.

The pickles

So yes Im like the mayor of townsville in the powerpuffgirls "gimme my pickle's jar". Sorry I know that pickles are not so popular by the smell, the texture and, the flavour but are my favorites because I like de bittersweat flavour (is my favorite taste) and I like the vinager (my guilty pleasure) even if the smell is too strong.
And some example is If u make me choose between "pickles or chocolate" I preffer 10 times the pickles (Valentine's day for me is better with pickles), they make me happy, they are my preffer dessert and I won't change it for anything ♡.

Addiction
So all of my addiction begins when I was in meiggs and my daddy give me to test some pickles and well in the first time I thought that are so weirdo and new for me, and at the same I thought they are so "crunchy" and I liked it.

My favorite combination are the onion lays potatos with pickles
But after eat it I seriusly have to brush my teeths

Scenic panic

The last year I Took a general formation subject about “theatre” because my oral expression is so poor, so I took this subject for my shyness, learning more about drama and principally for the scenic panic. 

In the first class I felt scared because there were so many people that were dancing and screaming so I wanted to run away from the class. But I thought that if I run I’ll never overcome my fear.

So I stayed.

The subject of theatre wasn't an theoretical subject but I learned so much about what means a drama or do a drama, and is not that easy how the TV use to show us or how we use to watch in a theatre, because that's basically the end of a theatre play.

So first you have to know your body and how improvise. You need to trust on your partners. And finally you must trust in yourself (And well this is the hardest part of the work).

The most beautiful that I did in the subject was meet more friends, talk with different people do bizarre role-plays, be another character of myself and of course, play the drama representation.

I think the theatre play is like magic, you can left all of your problems, and if you are scare you can see the reflects and you're going to shine

because you are shining in that momment 

(Sorry I'm a little clumsy inside) 

The spell of Muriel Barbery

Muriel Barbery was born in 1969 in France; she is a philosophy teacher and author of three novels. Her book “The elegance of the hedgehog” had a good reception and much success (the book even had a movie), in fact I knew her by this book.

How I knew her?

In my 17s I used to go to the library after school and spent my time reading books (I didn’t have many friends). One day I picked this book and when I began to read it, I couldn’t stop. Because the main characters were so deep and sensible, they made me feel a bit nostalgic and *unknown affection* And her cute style kept me stuck on the book. Sometimes I used to think that I lived the life of the characters and when something bad happened to my favorite character I wanted to get on the book to comfort her. The book has three points of view, one for each main character, and you can get attached by the situation that involved the character or with their life philosophies.

YouTube for my emotional stress

I’m in a hard relationship with my career. In my current state I prefer to distract myself from the academic arts and for that my best partner is YouTube. YouTube is an application and website for audiovisual content where you can watch and upload your videos. With YouTube I can watch the content from my favorite artists, even if they are not academic artist. Now I’m in a dilemma with the “academic art” like oil painting, well my problem is with the painting and the academia. So before said I prefer the “street art” also known as “urban art”, the art that the academia hates. On YouTube I can watch and listen some artist like Drefquila, Rosalía or Ms nina without thinking if they are doing some “existential art or a music paradigm”, feel part of what moves the world and dance with my heart. YouTube serves me during the time I don´t want to think about studying and when I want to discover new artists. The negative thing could be that I spend too much time in this app. But with YouTube I feel like can continue with myself.

My favorite photo ♡

Me and my family lived in the south, the city of concepción, in the town of Peñuelas. When I was a little girl I used to love "run and follow the rainbows" and playing with my friends.  I found a dog near my house whose name was Toby and I kept him, later we found a cat whose name was Cucho, I searched him for a family in all the nearly houses, but no one could have him so I went to my house carrying Cucho crying and my parents let me stay with him.
I used to love that place, specially for the memories. I liked to dress me up like a "huasa" or "huasario" (I used to make words)
This photo is special for me, because it reminds me of all these things. It was funny because the photographer hadn't a girl's huasa dress", only "boy's huaso suit" and my mommy got angry, but I love this picture for that.
I felt like I was breaking all stereotypes, because I guess the clothing has not gender. And I can use whatever I want.

A kid's show

Even now my favorite TV show is Courage the cowardly dog. This tv carton for kids makes me feel complete, because with a simple dog called Courage with an adoptive human family (Muriel and Eustace) puts a lot of paradigms and “adult” problems like the personal acceptance (I think the episode “perfect” of courage, is the best example, because courage can’t do perfect things, and in the end he accepts that he is not a machine, he is imperfect and that’s beautiful). I watched this series like 5 times, and my favorite episode is “the last of the star makers”, because for me is an inspiring metaphor for the creation of the universe and the starts, with giant squids that in the earth become flowers when they die

“For making stars of us, making flowers on the earth” said Muriel.

I had the luck of meeting the creator of this series John R Dilworth when he came to Chile, and I loved him. A fan questioned him “why he decided to do a cartoon series with too much adult content” and he answered that “children can be as smart as adults”.

My favorite technological thing

Well, in my mind the cell phone actually is essential for the life in 21th century, because the cell phone has an entire life in it like our photos, music, videos, books, etc.

 But that´s not my favorite thing, however I guess headphones are nothing without the music player (in my case the cell phone).

Yes, my favorite technological objects are headphones. Because with this objet I can disconnect myself from the world and put myself in the songs that are ringing my heart and even make internal dances, is for me too immersive, maybe if it is a simple objet. And I can listen to favorite artists like if they were here.

Sometimes I feel that the street noise is too loud for my nanai self and for me is uncomfortable and with the music I can disappear from the loud world and being in my own disco.  

“WHY ARTS? WHY? DON´T”

This horrible event occurred when I was a little girl.

I had 4 years when my world was just The lyon king  and Teletubbies, in fact my world was only the television. But one day my mom gave me some illustrative book about Perrault’s stories, and that was the epic mistake because I scratched all the book and I decided “I’ll be and artist of painting and drawing” –my mother laughed and my father said “WHY?”

When I grew up drawing was part of my life, but I began to think that drawing wasn’t enough for my future. I wanted to be a lawyer and sometimes a journalist (EVEN an engineer). 
Because I was always clumsy for my parents, partners and friends and I felt “Imperfect”.
My mission was demonstrate that I could be more being a lawyer or whatever.

But leaving out the art from my life was impossible. 
Now I still doubt about this decision, sometimes I think this is a mistake but if it is, then it's a beautiful one.

My Hypersomnia

My name is Paola I'm trying to talk about me, but I really don't know too much about me so I had to do some self-discovery and think more about "me". So I remembered that I'm a person who always wants to sleep and because of that Im a tired calm girl.

I'm always like 

“I don't want to do anything but sleep” 

“Why are the other people sooo energetic ”

And for that in the moment when the doctor said

“You have hypersomnia”

And explained me that "hypersomnia means being always with drowsiness because you need to sleep more than the regular people in order to be alright and that influences your mood and energy”

I was like

“Oh that explains all of my life”

Because I always thought that I was really weird for not being energetic or optimist, but when I discovered my hypersomnia was like “well this has a name”

Now I can tolerate and love my{hypersomnia}self.
