Green life

I'm not consider myself a green person, I'm not very connected to nature, but still try to make efforts that can change a little bit the situation that we live today in our planet. When I was a child, I lived in a house that had a very large backyard, so we used to made compost with the organic garbage, like tomato peels or leaves, in order to fertilize our plants. Now, on my current house, we don't make compost because is a smaller space, but try to separate our garbage when is necessary.

Another thing that I started to do time ago is dump the kitchen oil in plastic bottles after we make fried food, because dump it to the water is bad and very complicated to process. In some places you can sell that oil and then it is used as green fuel.Also, when we have things that we don't use anymore, but are still in good condition, we gave it to another people, so they see if can fix it or sell it.

Probably the biggest contribution that I can do is recycle. Before I enter to the career, I didn't have much conscience that everything have a second life, but then working in theater projects I realized that nothing is disposable when you have to build an scenography or a costume! So you can save the planet and your pocket recycling materials of an old model, like paper or cartons.

The Night of Id

Thinking about extreme/weird/awkard experiences, I remember once I went to a party with my friends in USACH, called "La noche del Ello" (Night of Id), it was organized by the psychology students. My friend Gabriel studied there, so he invited us to party and have a nice time...but things became something more than "nice": the Id was released!

I remember that me and my friend Vero arrive, and the first thing that we did was buy some beers and a choripan, then we start dancing with Gabriel and their Friends from university, then another friend arrive with her friend and in that point I started to lose the number of people that were there. The place was crowded, the DJ was really bad and the music sounds awful but everybody was dancing, probably because the alcohol was very cheap, so I could see Gabriel doing his famous dance steps(that are actually terrible), Vero flirting with an Argentinian guy, and me drinking beer and dancing some cumbia villera. 

The thing is that in some point of the party, I started to feel really bad and sick in the same moment that Vero disappeared with the guy, and Gabriel, that was very drunk, didn't know what to do, so he decided to lay down me on a bench. I was so wasted that I couldn't stand or talk, I remember a boy who started to drink wine from a box near to me, and a girl that started to argue him that the wine was mine(???) so he could not drink it, that he was a bad man that not deserve to drink wine from other people. A couple of minutes passed and we decided to go home...and don't remember much about what happened after that, but there is a picture of the moment:

Kodak moment

Hungry in Santiago

Everytime I go outside to eat something with my family or friends, I tried to go to places that offer different types of food, like exotic food, or new restaurants. The good thing is that in the last years, lots of restaurants had opened in Santiago, and many of them have international food.

The first place that comes to my mind is "Speed Sushi", a japanese restaurant with nice people and perfect food, and the most important, perfect prices! Before I went there, I tried japanese food but it wasn't a good experiences, so when I got introduced to Speed Sushi, I was very surprised and delighted. The rolls are so big, and tempura rolls, my favourites, are perfect. And one of the best part of all is that is near the city center, on Angamos Street #304 (near FAU)

Another place that becomes in one of my favourite is an arabian restaurant specialized on shawarmas. I went there last week, and on the first bite I was completely in love with the food, big portions and good price. I didn't know it, because is a new place near the university (on Rosas Street, between Teatinos and San Martin Streets), some friends went there before and also think that the shawarmas are delicious! I tried one filled with falafel and vegetables, but the next time I will try one with meat.

Besides of this new places, I always visit whit my mom a chinese restaurant on San Antonio Street, around the corner of Santo Domingo Street. Is our tradition go there when we have something to celebrate, or if we want to eat outside, so is a place that I really enjoy and reminds me nice moments.

Dream Jobs

Thinking in future job's is very stressfull for me, what I'm going to do is a complete mystery, especially being a Theater Designer. Our career is open to many posibilities, but the field is too small even with the amount of Theater's Festivals that exist nowadays in Chile. Something that I am really aware is that I wouln't work in an office, stuck 7 hours doing the same thing everyday, that's why I'm studying a non-conventional career, eventhough is not easy to find a good job.

Something that I would love to do is work in something related to music (as I said in previous post), the other day my boyfriend show me some videos of the backstage of NIN's concerts, and how they make the lights effects and the concepts of their shows, and I was very excited because I thought that someday I could make something like that!

Another thing that I found very nice and funny to do is shop window design. On my current work I always try to organize the merchandisings and suvenirs in the way that look more atractive for the customers and turist, is a fun and stimulating work, and today more and more stores design their shop windows carefully and more professional. For example, film director Sofia Coppola designed the windows of some Louis Vuitton stores, and the results were beautiful! So I think that's a good option if I want to create different things.
