Sketchbook

Estas son algunas de las páginas del sketchbook que estoy a punto de terminar, la verdad lo empecé con mucha inseguridad y sentía que lo iba a arruinar jaja, pero al final terminé con un montón de páginas atascadas de garabatos que me gustaron mucho. Al principio pensé que sólo iba a usar acuarela pero conforme iban pasando las hojas fui usando muchos otros materiales y experimenté con formas y estilos y estoy muy contenta porque va a quedar muy gordito cuando ya esté todo todo repleto de dibujos *✧₊✪͡◡ू✪͡

Y ya para terminar esta larga larga entrada dejo esta dulce tonada de Perfume, fin.

Nostalgia, horrible nostalgia

Found these pictures of my old room in Bilbao. Hey there memories.

Disposable

Third October post, yessss, here are some of the pictures I took with a disposable from April to October. Just the usual stuff, friends, family, the city, my dog, ahhh I still can't believe how skinny my dog was! We adopted him 3 months ago and it's so great to see that he has recovered so well :)

I love disposable cameras, especially cause I usually don't remember what the heck I took pictures of, so it's nice to get your film developed and being surprised with all the memories.

Wish List

Querida deidad de Octubre:
Como probablemente ya sabes, mi computadora murió, dejándome desamparada y sin ímpetu para seguir con mi vida y mi tésis, así que pido tu atenta ayuda para que me ayudes a conseguir un trabajo (porque no me gusta pedirle dinero a mis padres) y así poder costear un nuevo ordenador personal, con lo cual espero regresen mis ganas de ser productiva y así avanzar con mi investigación. Con tu ayuda espero titularme a mediados del año que viene, prometo esforzarme.

Ayuda.

Yours truly, Quetzallí.

(Google translate should do the job, also, there's no October goddess, I just made that up because I'm sad and helpless and unemployed and really confused about what do I want to do with my life)

This week in images

This week I spent a few days in a small town away from the big smoke, lots of gardening, bike riding, contemplation and hard work

Angst

Last year I had the wonderful opportunity to study one semester abroad thanks to an amazing exchange program provided by my university. It was all pretty cool, got to meet lots of new places, gained life changing experiences, but what really amazed me was how, umm... my creativity was at its maximum level, if that makes any sense, I was drawing and painting almost every day, tried new materials, new techniques, new shapes and aaahhh and I had so many great plans about how to "make it" once I was back in "the real world", but it's been almost 4 months since I came back and I haven't done a single thing! It's like I have lost all my drive/enthusiasm to do things, I am just not productive anymore and I really don't know why... DUN DUN DUN I'm in limbo!!!

It doesn't help that I don't have to go to school anymore because, supposedly, I officially finished all my classes (cause the semester I spent abroad was the last semester of my career), but that doesn't mean that I graduated, because... thesis, and social service. Since I haven't started my thesis nor my social service I don't think I am considered a student, also I don't have a job (funemployed!), basically I'm not a productive member of society, basically. Limbo, again :(

As silly as this may sound, this limbo I'm living in is one of the reasons why I started this blog, I think that if I keep this thing updated it will somehow help me to put my life in order, little by little.

So, the plan is to keep a productive and positive attitude, no more staying up until 4 am and then sleeping til noon (ahaha I'm a joke), no more eating like there was no tomorrow, this weekend I am going to clean my bike and fix it and ride it cause I feel like physical activity is what's going to help me to be active agaaaaainnn!!! Getting closer and closer to ~adulthood~ hell yes.

I also need to work on a new header, oooh it's all under construction.

Have fun, stay young, be cool! Cool beans! Solid!
