Favorite Blog Post : Drawing

Many, many teachers may truly hate me for my bad habits in class but, what can I say? I simply love to draw. I like to draw in bed, during classes, in airplanes, while watching movies in my house, while eating, and others I can´t remember at the moment. The truth is: I used to hate to draw………. I liked it but I didn’t know how. And I still don´t know how to draw animals, or people, or complex objects. But slowly I learned how to draw more abstract drawings and objects that don’t make complete sense but they are still fun. I get my inspiration from dreams, little things I see, and other pieces of art. It would be amazing if one day I could get payed for drawing so that I could do the things I love as a living. Unfortunately for me that is just not going to happen because I have responsibilities and a future to pursue.






The only thing that sometimes annoys me is the math that may be involved in each drawings. Its not complicated math or anything but I will still complain about it. I am a perfectionist when it comes to drawing and when I make patterns they have to be just right. Everything in its perspective place and the right size so that it looks neat and organized in the end. If something is meant to be in the center trust me, it will be in the center.

(I did not make this but it is my favorite style of drawing)

HERE IS A PICTURE THAT I DID MAKE:

Haagen Dazs

Now here is something that most People LOVE!! Haagen Dazs’ ice creams. There are so many different flavors that you can try out that when I go to the store each time to pick out an ice cream to enjoy at home, I get so indecisive that it becomes nearly impossible to pick one single flavor.


Among their copious amount of flavors, my favorite ones are: Cookies and cream, Strawberry Cheesecake, Vanilla Caramel Brownie, Chocolate chip cookie dough, and Midnight Cookies and Cream. Some of them are so weird but their combination is genius. What impressed me the most was how much I can eat. In one sitting, depending where I am, I’ll eat up to one can of their ice cream.

Haagen Dazs was not created over night….. it took them about 4 decades to perfectionate their products. Mr. Mattus, supported by his wife Rose, made this company based on the vision that was soon going to become the world’s number 1 ice cream.

MONIQUE VON GABRIEL

Have you ever met a person who can be described in one word? Crazy. It is a simple word that can be followed by endless explanations. Monique is this crazy person to me. She is a great friend and she always comes up with new and creative ways to make people around her laugh. A lot. We think very differently in many ways but, that doesn´t matter because I believe that, that is why she is a close friend of mine.


She has always been a very cute person to me. Someone who is there when I need her. If I am in a happy mood she will laugh with me for hours without even having a true reason to laugh. When I feel sad or somehow depressed she accompanies me by giving me advice or simply being there. She shows that she cares.

Something that distinguishes Monique from almost everyone that I know is her selflessness. At break time sometimes I find myself without money to buy anything or during class when I starve and have nothing to eat. She finds ways to help me with small things or big things. She does this to anyone who shows to be her friend. This is why I LOVE MONIQUE VON GABRIEL!!!

MAFE!!

Her real name is Maria Fernanda but everyone calls her MAFE. She was born in Peru but up until last year she was living here, in São Paulo. Now she is currently back home in her senior year. I really do hope that she ends up coming for college in the city because not only is she one of my best friends but, she has also given me many, many unforgettable moments.


She was the one that presented chapel to me when I first arrived in Brazil back in the year 2006 when I was a 7th grader. We didn’t have the best start but by the end we had already become inseparable. She is hilarious, charming, smart, influential, and pretty. She tought me a lot about life and how to look at it from completely different perspectives.

We have a few traditions that occur almost every time I meet her. We like to go shopping a lot where we can try on clothes that will NEVER be in our wardrobe while we take pictures. We later enjoy ice cream or depending on where we are we go to Franz Café. Our biggest tradition is Martinezlandia which, is nothing huge or anything like that. We do a sleepover at my house where we watch various movies, we bake too many cakes to eat, and we talk about our feelings for endless hours.

Listening to Music

I don't get it. I truly don't. Statistics say that we must never listen to music when we are doing homework because we wont be able to concentrate. They even say that your grades will be bad and bla bla bla. The ironic thing here is that at the same time they promote us to listen to classical music while we do our work in order to be better at it. Are we, or are we not able to do more than one thing at a time? Well, I really don’t know the answer to that question but I am still going to listen to my music while I do my homework.


Every time I listen to the type of music that I enjoy the most it relaxes me and it allows me to do my work will less stress. I don’t listen to it word by word it is mostly in the background. My mind is mostly focus on my math homework or my other class’s homework.

I have a playlist with mostly calm songs that I’ve heard many times before so I’m already used to their tone. I don’t only listen to music while I’m working but also when I’m at the gym or outside my house jogging. With time and age music has become more and more involved in my life because I listen to it in various activities that take place during the day. I listen to it while I’m showering, in the car, exercising, studying, dancing, and many other activities.

I don’t know anymore what I would do without music.

HERE IS A PICTURE THAT I DID MAKE:

E entertaintment Television

E Entertainment Television and MTV are my two favorite channels in TV. However E has a diversity of things to watch. They offer from documentaries to reality shows. Even though it all has to be related to Hollywood one way or another, you still learn a lot by watching some programs like Dr. 90210. It is a reality TV show that involves a lot of woman and men of several ages that have to get so and so operations so they go to doctors in Beverly Hills. They interview the patients as well as the doctors and you go through the entire procedure with the patients.


WARNING: if you do not like blood or cuts DON’T WATCH THIS SHOW.

Even though some selected episodes may be relatively gross you learn a lot about the human body and their functions. I learned about the culture in certain areas of the United States and the standards that most women are dying to meet. There are other reality shows like Keeping up with the Kardashians, The Perfect Catch, Temptation Island, and Kendra to name a few.

The Red Carpet season is also a big deal in the film industry and E always invests a lot of money on transmitting these famous events directly home so we can watch them. The season is during February and March . Different types of celebrities are invited to a diversity of awards for their performances. The Oscars is one of the biggest events and it involves mainly best movies, directors, and actors. The SAG awards are for TV show, and the Grammy’s is for the music industry.

This channel offers news as well and comedy based on it. Most of the news you will see won’t be based on the most recent natural disaster or the political situation in some country unless celebrities are involved. The soup is a show were celebrities are caught in embarrassed situations and the host of the show makes their life miserable and jokes about them in a very sarcastic way. In comedy and news you also have the Chelsea Lately Show. Chelsea, the hostess, makes fun of the current situations in Hollywood including live interviews with celebs.
