Pictures that I really like

Hello everyone. On this occasion I will talk about one of my favorite photos. Actually I have many photos that rescue unforgettable moments of my life. My father is, among other things, a photographer, and since I was born he took me many photos, slides and videos.

For this occasion I decided to share a picture of my birthday in 2009. On that occasion I made a costume party. I dressed up as Cleopatra and my boyfiend as Julius Caesar. My friends came up with creative costumes. That night was perfect :)

The group photo was taken automatically. The camera was programmed so that we could all appear in the photo. The other was taken by my brother.

I like these pictures because they make me relive a very special night. I shared with people that I love very much, danced, sang, played and laughed a lot.

Actually I always liked taking photos. I have a lot of albums with photos of my friends. Since seventh grade my mom lent me her camera to bring it to school, and I could take many photos to my friends at recess.

In my house has always been a camera, but in September last year I bought my first camera. It has 12mp, a powerful zoom, 4GB memory, it can record in HD and its pink :). I love to bring it in my backpack and use it often.

Years ago, I collected printed photos. However, since 2005, when we bought our first digital camera, we don’t print the photos. Since then, we only store them in a computer.

When I was in school, middle school, I got a fotolog. As I had many photos,  to upload one picture a day wasn’t enough, so I made collages to share several photos into one.

Anyway ... photo capturing had always attracted me. I think it's amazing to save special moments portrayed in a beautiful image.

Childhood

My childhood was pretty quiet, nothing unusual really. I tell you, I didn’t live with my father's family because they all lived in Venezuela. By the side of my mother's family, we were four children between us we had less than two years apart. I was the youngest, and the only girl, so I always received much attention and care.

As a child I wanted to be many things, my first dream was to become a singer. My dad made a wood and foam microphone, and I liked to sing for hours, while my father played songs on guitar.

I don’t remember a single favorite toy. With my brother we transformed any toy into a fantasy to imagine for hours. However, one of my favorite toys was the jumping ball.

In relation to children, I think children today are very different from children 50 or 100 years ago. The social and historical contexts have changed at vertiginous speed. The strong emergence of technology in daily life has changed many aspects of daily life, and has had an interesting effect on the relationship between children and adults and children with the world. And not everything is learned from adults, children now, as natives of the digital age, can teach those parents many new things. Knowledge is not unidirectional.

I think the most important thing we can teach children is respect for others, themselves and their environment. The care of the environment and good relations with others are a valuable legacy for the children of today.

I would love to start my own family someday. My dream is to have twins of opposite sex. Also I would love to adopt a child. For me, three children is the ideal amount.

Technological Devices

For me, technology is a set of tools that, giving the proper use, can greatly facilitate some daily chores. I think the most important contribution of technological advances has been to promote various communication channels, such as cellular telephony, internet, chat programs and even video calls. These information technologies have been of great help to keep people communicated within and outside the country, in real time.

Among the technological devices that I use, I couldn´t choose a single favorite, I have two. The notebook and cellphone.

I have cell phone since 13 years old and notebook since 20. I use them to communicate with my friends and family. Half of my family lives in Venezuela, and I greatly simplifies communication with them through internet.

I use both devices very often, not a day passes without taking up my cellphone or my computer.

I like them because they have many uses. I can work with them for the university, playing or listening to music, among many other things.

I think that life without technology would be complicated in some ways, but, in others, it could be so much simple.

My Free Time

My free time is relative. There are weeks when I have spare time and I can be dedicated to leisure, but there are periods when I feel collapsed.
I spend much of my free time with my boyfriend, sharing with my family and hanging out with friends.
In my free time I like watching TV. My favorite cable channels are the music channels, but I also really like the cartoons and the movie channels. Sometimes when I'm with my dad, I watch the History Channel, Discovery or Animal Planet. I enjoy watching and commenting documentaries with him.
Pets are my hobby. I love animals and when I have free time I enjoy playing with them. I have a dog and four cats.
The next weekend I hope to get out of Santiago, because I feel that I need to escape for a couple of days of stress and air pollution in the capital.
I manage my own time preference always to the relaxation, entertainment and share with the people I love. The truth is that the study is never one of my priorities at the administration of my free time. However, I do not regret the way I order my chores, I feel happy and satisfied :)
