more books!

actually, I have considered many times to continue with my studies, I really love studying new things and I'm open to studying any subjects, for example, I'm atheist, but now I'm reading the bible, just because I´m interested in what counts and why people believe in it so much. The last time I thought about my studies after my graduation I had in mind to get a diplomade in designer production. My career is cinema and the design part of a film is my favourite part, also directing but I know if someday I'm going to direct a movie, who knows. If I studied something after the university, I want to study in another country, I don't want to stay en Chile, but it's not because I hate this country, I really like it, but as I said before, I want to learn new things, and that includes new places and new cultures. I have considered Japan, Spain, South Korea and USA, but I don´t know yet, first I need to learn the lenguage. At the same time I want to do many short classes where they teach me new drawing techniques and also dance classes. I love dancing but I do it as a hobby, I wish I could only work on dancing, but it's somethings I don't practice as a child, so I think it's a little late for me to do it in a professional way. So sad.

Animation Movies

My ideal work is very childish, but I think that this dream was what motivated me to study cinema and is to make animated films. I've always loved animated films, I think they achieve a magic and beauty that no film with humans can achieve. Animated films are so underrated, I wish too much that people could realize how beautiful they can be and that they are not just children's films. When I was a little girl I loved to draw, I still love it, so it would be wonderful to be able to make a film with my drawings. Before my dream was to be able to work at Pixar, I think it still is in part. Also work at Studio Ghibli, but only accept Japanese. My dream is to be able to live in Japan for a while, to learn about its culture and religion and to make animated stories based on this and Chilean stories. I honestly think I can make it. I am a shy and untrusting girl, but I have managed to show myself how capable I am to do great things. I think I can get it and fight to get it.

Melodrama

I listen to a lot of music, from different genres from different countries, it's very difficult for me to choose just one album, but I think I'm not wrong to say that "Melodrama" by Lorde is one of my favorite albums in the world. Lorde is a singer, producer and composer who was born in 1996 in New Zealand. It has songs belonging to the genre indie pop and alternative rock. At the age of seventeen he consolidated his career with his first album, winning Grammy awards in the categories "song of the year"; and "best solo pop vocal performance". Lorde was not a singer that attracted my attention in the time she became recognized in the world of music (more or less in 2012), I did not understand her speech, what I criticized, I ended up ignoring and hating a little. But as I grew older, I realized her feminist discourse, I paid more attention to her and I realized that I loved everything she said in her interviews as well as in her songs. Personally I like pop and I was embarrassed to say it, but once she said this: "For a long time, pop music has been this super embarrassing thing, with which people don't want to be associated [. . . ] But the way I see it, pop doesn't have to be stupid, and alternative music doesn't have to be boring: you can mix the two together and do something great";. Her words made sense to me and I loved her. Then he released his second album: Melodrama (2017) an album that sincerely made my mind fly. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but the album talks about the end of a relationship and the feeling of loneliness, comparing it to a party, that's what most songs are about, talking about the different moods that this entails. Love this album with my life. I think that very few times in my life I have been able to listen to an album where I find every wonderful song, this is the case and I love it. I'm not a Grammy fan, but I remember that Melodrama was nominated for best album of the year and Lorde refused to sing at the awards because the organizers wanted her to sing with other people and sing a song that wasn't hers, while the men who were nominated gave her space to sing her own songs alone. This was a very macho act, which Lorde decided not to attend the awards. In the end he won the Bruno Mars album, an album that only talks about him being a man with money and having many women around him. Lorde made me open my eyes and see a patriarchal world, but I can do something to fight that. This album really sums up my musical tastes and thoughts, I love it and I feel that if I have to look for an album that represents me is this one.

Arigatou Gozaimasu

I’be learned to love the cinema. To be honest, I wasn’t a big fan of movies, but my dream was always been make a animation movie about magic and new worlds no one has ever seen before, with music and landscapes that really get the people excited. So today I want to talk about my favourite movie in the world. It's a anime movie called Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi from Studio Ghibli. It’s a kind of complicated to explain what the film is about, as it has too many metaphors. At first glance it’s a girl who gets lost in a ghost town where she need to work to find their parents. It’s hard to understand, it’s seems like it’s a just strange story, but the film really talks about the capitalism and the child exploitation, but it’s really hard to come to that conclusion alone. I had to look for a lot of things about symbolism to understand it.

Holidays

I think my best holidays has been in Parral, it's a town near Talca and Chillán. Parral has always been my vacation spot. I used to travel with my parents and brothers, we traveled to a place a little far from the village and we camped in a small forest next to the river. We set up tents, fire, makeshift kitchens and that was it, we cooked in the fire and ate under the trees and then went swimming in the river. When we made these trips we went with my uncles and cousins, they are too many and they are all men! I am the only woman! but even so I forced them to include me in their adventures to the forest. Now it has changed a bit, because my parents and my uncles bought plots near the place where we used to camp, right now my uncles and my parents are building their houses in that place to move. Anyway we continue traveling to Parral in the summer, the big difference is that now we stay in the small houses they have built, but we keep going to the river to swim, I enjoy with my cousins and we talk too much all night long seeing the stars, as there is not much light you can see hundreds of stars, it is beautiful.

A country I would like to visit

Since I lot of time, I’ve always wanted to visit Japan, it’s a very beautiful and interesting country. The culture in that place is so fascinating and the landscapes it has are hard to believe that they are real, but maybe it’s better if I explain why I think this. When I was a little girl, I only know superficial things about Japan, like they ate sushi or they practiced sumo (which for me were just fat men pushing each other). I remember that one day I saw my brother watching “anime”, it’s a style of animation. he liked a lot, then I started watching the tv with him and I love it what I saw. Programs like Pokémon, Digimon, Sailor Moon are memorable, they had romance, adventures, drama, mystery and made you want to be part of that world. After of that, I discovered beautiful movies, like Sent to Chihiro no kamikakushi or Hotaru No Haka from studio Ghibli. The magical stories they tell are amazing and are things I’ve never seen before in my life. They talked about magic and social problems, but in a beautiful and innocent way. A child could never understand until the grew up. I realized that these TV shows and movies have a something in common, they were created by Japanese. The I began to study more about their culture and traditions and I discovered that they are as magical and special as the stories they create. They respect and appreciate little things that in my life I never stopped to thing, like the morning sun o small sounds that we use to express like “mmm” when we saw a delicious food or the simple fact to doing something that gives us life without the need to give us “success” in life, actually they don’t relate success to money or marriage like the adults from Chile. The success is obtained by doing what gives your life, there is a term for that, called ikigia. I want to live in Japan for a long time, it’s my dream. I want to learn from them, to be able to appreciate life and the small details of our life and give up my ego (this is something that is also related to ikigai) and stop thinking that I must have expensive things to be successful. I want to learn to be humbler, to connect with nature and with different religions like them and to be able to use that magically fill the world of a child as wwll as an adult.
