Music I like

This is pretty similar to some kind of interview. I don’t talk so much about music so I’ll give it a try and let’s see what happens.

- What kind of music do you enjoy the most?

I think the music i enjoy the most are 80's. But i usually listen some electro and even sometimes some jazz and bossa. I have no real preferences in music and I’m always searching for new sounds. Most of the time it’s not so easy and requires some practice, it looks easier than it really is. 

- Why do you like this kind of music?

I can’t say it completely. I feel that 80's songs have something nostalgic that I enjoy much. It must be some synth sounds we usually listen on that songs. I have to say that the songs from 80’s I really like are just a few, but synth’s sounds they have in common 

- When do you listen to this music?

I use to listen music when I’m going on bus to classes. Is a very long trip, so I pass the time with my earphones on and sleeping . Sleeping makes the travel seems shorter and the music makes it less boring. When I’m back at home. Late at night, I listen music as well. At that time I use to listen new discs. I’m always searching for a new interesting sound.

- What effect does this music have on you?

This music relaxes me. It keep my mind thinking in other things so it keeps me calm. During the night it helps me sleep too.

Here are two songs i like from 80's.

The good and bad points of the first semester

Last semester was full of interesting new things, like the new things I learnt about arts and some ideas I though, but it was pretty strange too. Somehow I couldn't realize than it was actualy ending when for me it was just starting. It was stressfull, but I think than after all it wasn't so bad, I mean it really could be worse as I can see today thinking on that. The most thing I´ve been worried from then is that I'm seriuosly needing to find a job because I just don't have enough money for the things I need, this is getting complicated, and though I wouldn't like to works on weekends I think this is my best option. I'm hoping everything will be better for this semester, even next year. I have to keep mi mind clear and focus and keep going, you know, hanging in there. After all, I enjoy been on faculty and my classmates are really good friends. I suppose if I got a job soon I'll invite them some drinks too = ) .

What about fashion at arts?

If you think that painting is the way artists observe and then show their physical and emotional environment, then for sure you can expect to see plenty of features from the people and their living exposed over the canvas of a painter, and that's exactly what the exhibit at Musée D'Orsay put on focus through the impressionism's artists work.
The impressionism movement has been always associated to the way we observe nature. But on their paintings we can also see the way they represented the French culture and the urban landscape from early 20th century. We can even see how they put lot of emphasis on the way people dress, with 'elegance and display' as the review mention. Is not a surprise that things like this happen, thus the artist shows than he is more than an observer but somehow part of this society too.
Through the paintings from artists like Manet, Monet and Degas, including dresses from the collection of Parisian museums, the exhibit shows how they take interest in fashion, as they painted people in motion, outside, on streets and squares. Very much interesting and distant work work from the Académies paintings, who otherwise used to paint inside their workshops simulating scenes.
For this exhibit (last until 20 january 2013) three museums have joined, Orsay, the Metropolitan Museum of New York and the Art Institute of Chicago. As you can see this is a huge exhibit.

I personally pick this article because i have an interest in fashion too, and by reading this article it seems logic the relation between the impressionism and fashion by the apparition of first fashion magazines in the same decades, and impressionism is really a great moment in paiting. I have my favourite influential person in fashion too. It's David Bowie, check it out.

My best holiday

My best holiday was about seven years ago. I went to the beach with my friends from high school and it was real funny. We were a group of ten and we didn't have much money so first we had to figure out how to spend it well. We started on November and it was so difficult to make an agreement than we finally went out on last days of February, but it worth.
We finally went to Quinteros for five days. We stayed on a very small cabin but we didn't care because we just used to sleep, passing almost all day at beach, taking baths or just sitting around and playing cards. It also was funny go for a walk during the night, when there was nobody and you could hear the sounds of the waves perfectly.
That vacations was important to us as well, since that year we graduated from high school. I specially enjoyed that vacations that's why I think they were the best.
From then I haven't seen my friends again so much, of course now we're all doing different things, I'm still studying for example, and others already finished and have a work. It doesn't matter if we're separated, I still remember the moments we pass and they were good.
Here are couple of pictures of that vacation (they're actually not the original pictures though you can still got the idea of how it was :P ).

So, this was me taking a bath with some snorkels on it, pretty casual photo. I didn't pose that's why I look so natural.
 Here with some friends, enjoying taking us a picture more than playing volleyball, laughs.
