My hobbies... or future jobs?

Hi my little cupcakes! Today I want to told you about two of my favorite hobbies that I love so much to the point of maybe it will become in my job.
As you know, I study Art History, and I love it, but if I being honest I can't see me working on that in my future. I love the career, is there a lot to learn, but I don't think I will became a cuartor, a researcher o something like that. In other way, I have hobbies as anyone else, some of that I already told in other posts.
One of that is my love for baking, I discover that passion a least 5 years ago, started with my love for cookies with chocolate chips, but my mom don't allow me to buy it for healthy reasons (I always be a fatty girl) and told me that she we let me eat some if they were homemade but they didn't have the time, so, in deseperation for eat something sweet with chocolate, I asked "what if I do it?" and her accepted, teach me the basic. Later I started to see baking tutorials of different thing and I wanted to do it myself and there is how everything started and how I became de baker of the family!

This is one of my cupcakes, one of my favorite recipies

And the second one and that I always mention in almost all my posts: dressmaker. For know I only make bags and handbags, but I want to learn more and practice more to be able to create beautiful clothe with a great variety. I don't rembember well when this started, I just rembember askin my granmom to teach me how to use her sewing machine, later she inherit me. I love design and create clothe! even I search for ideas to copy or to take some parts as example. I simply love to do it, even if it is a lot of work, is something that it captivates me. If there something that I want to be is being a dressmaker.

That is all! bye bye my little cupcakes!

My favorite subject

Hello my little cupcakes!
For today I want to told you about my favorite subject. I have already talk about it in other post in this blog, but I never dedicate one only to that.
As you already know, I study Art History, and even If I'm going just in my second year I already have my favorite themes, but in this semester the one that I adore it was Colonial Art.
What we to in class is not really different in comparison to other subject that is focus in some art period (I guess what I like is the art itself with what work), in short words we studied how the syncretism is it present in the art, how the christian and native tradition mix together in harmony, his political use, the difference between the countries here in Latin America, how this make the christian representation in that period so different in comparison with other countries in the world, etc.
In class we basically work with images and the professor's explication, but I like that is almost just visual work, that is other reason why I like it. Is not just the significance of the study (the type of art of that time can tell us about their people and their culture, our history), is the big application of symbols, that is something that I found so beautiful.
So that is i! Bye Bye my littles cupcakes!

Zoltan Paulinyi

Hello my little cupcakes!
Today I want to talk about someone who I admire as a person, professor and academic: Zoltan Paulinyi.
A great master of the pre-hispanic arts and history, specially all the Mesoamerican culture. Sadly, I don't know a lot about his live aside his hungarian origin, but I know he has a lot of degrees, from his native Budapest to all the work he made in Mexico. He live close to 20 years in the country that I just mention, where he made a lot of study and investigations, almost all the photos that he use he take it himself. He has a Magister in aztec history and, as I know, he is working to get a doctorate.
He has a lot of work published, but the most known are (or a least, according to the University) The "Great Goddess" of Teotihuacan: Fiction or reality?, The Teotihuacan Trinity: The Sociopolitical Structure of an Ancient Mesoamerican City and The Butterfly Bird God Aan His Myth At Teotihuacan.
He is the greatest authority when something is about the prehispanic culture, but is not just that why I admire him. He has a great dedication to his work: he live in Viña del Mar, an hour and half from Santiago (where he come to make his classes), and even he is already an aged man he never not show up and even if some people say his tone of voice is boring I like it, the tone of voice that he use plus his notorious accent help me to pay more atention. But is not just that, he is so chill, he speak with calm and patience, never get annoyed if someone says that don't understand something, I like his way to explain the subject, with such calm and pasion at the same time, he has this aura of a man that know and has seen so much.
I always liked the prehispanic culture and art, but with him, that go exponential.
I hope be able to be someone like him in the future.

Bye-bye my little cupcakes!

Reflection

Hello my little cupcakes!
Heres is another entry for the blog, is a little reflection related to the career that I'am study. You may think that I talk a little to much about this topic (my career) but, what can I say? It take the most part of my daily life.
My career, as almost every career that is related to arts, dosen't have a big work field in my country, neither pay to much on it, to be able to  have a good wage you have to be really good in class, have good grades, wide knowledge about autors, arts periods, cutting-edge, artist and the historical influences that is related in the art.
I believe that Art History is a very tough career that you can't take it as a joke. But, even I don't fulfill the qualities that i mention before, I think that is good to work that harder and know that much to be recognised and have a good salary, because that push you to be the best of the bestest. Don't get me wrong, of course I think that everyone must take more seriously the arts and give to the people who work in it a better payment, but I like to see how that (bad) pressure move every student to know more and better, don't just have the degree and have a big wage at once.
An example of the case that I said before are some laws students, that ones who barely were able to graduate and know just the necesary, that demand a big amount of money in their first cases, even if they don't know how do it right (I'm sure that most of you have met some of that lawyers before).

                     I know that a lot people in Chile don't think abou M.O. as an example of a great person, but this quote is so good, not just for my career, for every student of every career. Don't forget that.

 

 

Bye-bye my little cupcakes!

Memorie

Hello my little cupcakes!
Well, as someone of you know, I'm not a really fan of using facebook, I mean, when I was younger I was obsess with it. But times changes.
The point is that I was looking in my page, just for boredom, and then I found this picture. An old one, from 2015, the last year of school.
I love it, because I'm there with one of my friends of that time (luckily, I'm still in contact with her), is was a funny time, the last month of school, so we just go and have fun around, taking pictures of us and the place (like this one).
I never say this, but school was an awful place for me, when I was younger I never fit with the kids in my classroom, for the rest i was a boring freak, the pariah who didn't like what they did. I was bullied (I don't know if i can say "luck" at this, but at leats they just insult me), I was taller than the rest of boys and girls, and fatter to, so I wasn't the most pretty for the boys and they make me rembember it indirectly.
So, as you can see, school was a nightmare, i hate it to the point that I didn't care of my grades and my well-being, I just didn't want to do school anymore. What help me to keep going was my family (specially my mom) and my friends, who where as freak as me, so thanks to them i didn't feel so alone and abandon in school. The girl with the white kerchief in all her face was one of them, I have a lot of disagrement withe her, but in the end, she is a great girl.
In the end, this photo make me rembember the feeling of freadom and friendship.The end of something horrible and the start of something great.
I want to tell you this, my little cupcakes, in life we have to endure terrible times, we will feel like is simposible, that we don't want to suffer anymore, to live anymore. But please, believe me, you can survive, you can make everything posible, you can laugh in life's face and say "Fuck you". You can fight and make everything better if you want to.
Bye-bye, my little cupcakes, and keep fighting!
