A Christmas present I would like to get

"HO, HO, HO"

I love surprises, and I love presents. For me, presents represent how someone else sees you and how that person really knows you; people who gives you presents are giving it to you because they know that it’s going to like you.

It’s true, giving presents might be complicated, because sometimes you don’t have time or money to get the present that you would like to give. That’s why I try, when it’s possible, to make a present myself to give it to my friends and family.

So, the Christmas present I would like to receive would be a present that was made or bought with love and caring by someone. The best part of this is that it could be anything, I really don’t care the present I’ll receive this Christmas, I don’t want or expect anything, because if I expect something in particular and I don’t receive it, I will be disappointed or sad, and that’s not the point in giving or receiving a present. You just have to be grateful that you care enough to someone and that person thought of something that could like you and that you could enjoy. 

Summer Plans

Se détendre

My summer plans aren’t a big deal for me, there not something I worried about or think of with anticipation, just because I don’t have the chance to go to places where I would like to go. If it would be after me, I would go to Rapa Nui, Brazil or some place in Chile. I’ve only visited San Antonio or Las Cruces so I have the desire to visit wherever I’m invited.

I’ve actually been invited to Osorno in February and I’m hoping this plan works out. I would go with my boyfriend, because he’s the best company to have beside me and my friend who lives in Osorno and invited with his boyfriend.

Been honest, I don’t know the things that we would do together, probably sleeping and eating will be our priorities but even if we’re not sure, I know for certain that we will have a great time together.

Something that I’m sure we won’t do would be working or studying, I’ve had enough this year with classes and assignments to do, so I am going to clear my mind and breath fresh air.

Maybe, we could visit some volcanos and lakes that are around Osorno, I’ve never been there so everything will be new for me, everything will be a surprise! Just like a little kid in a candy store.

I hope this trip help me to enjoy my vacations, so I can be prepare for the year that comes for me, with a lot more works and a lot more responsibilities, and surprises of course. 

My favorite piece of art

"La tristesse durera toujours"

In my opinion, the most beautiful and perfect piece of art that exist in the world! It’s Vincent Van Gogh’s The starry night. This piece of art in specific has a movement and an intensity that I love, because you can feel the sky moving and you can see the stars shining; this painting has a life on it’s own. 

Vincent Van Gogh was a post-impressionist painter, who fought his way through recognition and fame during his life, and finally having the respect and influence in modern art after his death in 1890. 

Van Gogh painted over two thousands paintings in his career and specialized in watercolor to paint all kinds of styles, like self-portraits, portraits, cypresses, flowering Orchards, flowers and wheat fields. We can watch his art at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. 

In his last year of life he "had fits of despair and hallucination during which he could not work, and in between them, long clear months in which he could and did, punctuated by extreme visionary ecstasy” .

Even with all his sadness and mental problems, Van Gogh gave us extraordinary paintings that transmit us his perspective of the world, a world that, through his eyes, it’s complex but at the same time, worth of looking at and keep discovering. The starry night it’s the clear example of that.
