Note to the Reader

My blog is a mess. I mean if I were a reader I'd be like WTF is this about! So I think I should explain it. The blog posts are about anything and everything that passes through my head at that moment or that day. i thought of changing my blog into a fashion blog but then I thought how many fashion blogs there might be out there and how many blogs about my life/thought were out there . Fashion blogs: 13458613132 (or more)
Blogs about me: none
So I decided to keep this blog. But I will still be blogging about fashion, things that bug me, random things and gossip. If you knew me you would know that you could ask me anything about any celebrity and I'd now what happened, what 2 different websites say about that, what the celebrity did, etc. Basically everything about that gossip. I know I shouldn't get so entertained about gossip because their human beings, they need privacy , etc. But its kind of funny how the gossip websites get all hyped about that thing that happened. If you've ever seen E! News you can see how seriously they take this gossip. Sometimes they announce a break-up as if it were the start of World War III or something. I mean of course if its the break up of a huge power couple I can see their urgency. ( Like the break up between Brad and Jen in 2005 or if Brad and Angelina broke up today) But when it comes to break ups between I don't know, lets say Snookie ( from Jersey Shore) and her new boyfriend breaking up its ridiculous! I mean this comes from me who takes a lot of little things serious, like when I hit an iPod or my cellular or something I automatically have to say sorry to that object or else I'll feel guilty all day. I even took Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer's break up like WOW! I didn't stop talking about it like for 2 weeks.
See how off topic this Blog post ended up being?

Burberry Prorsum 2010 Autumn Collection

This past week was Fashion Week throughout the world. The main cities where Fashion Week is hosted are New York City and London. The shows are designed so that the events in each city don't overlap.This year Fashion Week started with a sore note since acclaimed fashion designer Lee Alexander McQueen died a few days before his runway show in New York.
Tomorrow will be the end of Fashion Week in London. Though today the Burberry Prorsum Collection, one of the most anticipated collections of the year, was shown. Unlike past years, this show was broadcasted through out the whole world. You can see the show online. In many cities like Los Angeles, New York, Dubai, Tokyo and Paris it was broadcasted in 3-D. It was broadcasted in big wide spaces were there were special made silver screens from where the runway was shown.
The show was amazing. It started out with outfits that had earth colors. Then the outfits went to darker colors (blue and black), more elegant pieces. Then came the skin coats and and from there more and more outfits were coming out , first darker tones and then more live tones like brighter greens, yellows, blues and magenta's. At the end there were coats with animal fur, mostly sheep so not many animals were killed in the process.
The main article in this show were all the jackets worn. Almost every outfit had a jacket that went with it no matter it being formal or informal.I noticed that most jackets had a sort of military and aviation vibe to them. Christopher Bailey, Chief Creative Officer, said that " The jackets had aviation like a pivotal point to them."
In the end I think it was a very successful show and many fashion magazines will praise this collection.

Earth Colors:Darker Colors:

Skin coats:Lighter Tones:

Not alot happened today. A friend of mine broke her foot playing soccer. The good thing was that she made her first goal! Thats what she told me when I called her. I called her all worried and once she told me what had happened she said the good thing was that I made the goal and it was my first goal. That was the highlight of my day. Besides that I went to the dentist. Since I have brackets they changed my wires. My teeth still hurt. That's about it I think. As you can see it wasn't a very interesting day.

I just finished doing my Photography homework. I forgot that I had it tomorrow until my friend, Fernanda, asked me if I had already taken all the photos. The homework was to take about 34 photos of an object (any object that you chose) but in different scenarios and it had to have 2 different photography planes. I think I took the photos wrong because I did it in like an hour while my friend has been doing it since yesterday and still has 22 photos to go. Anyways the object I choose was a wrist watch, but an old wrist watch.
My dog was half asleep when I started taking the pictures, we have to use film cameras for the class and film cameras make noises ( at least mine does), it woke her up. She started looking at me with an expression on her face saying "what in the world are you doing?". I took about 5 pictures with her and the watch, she tried to eat it at the end because she got hyper. Even though shes 6 years old (42 in dog years) shes as hyper as the day we got her. The only difference between then and now is her size and well her age. But not emotional age. I'm sure she'll always be a year old puppy at spirit, even when shes breaking her hips trying to walk faster or roll on the floor.

Bored to Death

Right now I´m at a friends house. We´re supposed to be doing a proyect but as you can see we aren´t doing anything. I´m here with Fer, Santi, and Agus. Fer and Santi are wrting on their blogs. Fer is blogging about how happy she has a Blackberry, which is a smart-phone, and a quote she heard on the movie, "Valentine´s Day". While Santiago is writing about Fernanda, once again. I´m serious like 5 out of the 10 posts on his blog are about Fernanda. I´m sure all his posts have something about Fernanda in them. He might be in love with her... you never know. At the same time me and Agus think she might be enjoying it! When something happens between them I´ll be the first to tell you guys, dont worry, just check in daily and if you want follow me. Anyways right now we are sending a friend a voice message by Blackberry Messanger, Fernanda is sending it. If you´ve read her blog you´ll know that she really IS obsessed with her blackberry.
OK I dont want to start being like Santiago so I´ll stop gossiping about her. If you really want to know more about what she does just look at Santiago´s blog, which is attached to his name above. So we are here Santi and Fer on their BB´s while my BB is not currently working, FML. Seriously technollogy HATES me! It´s not even funny anymore. Last semester when I was in computer class two of my proyects misteriously froze before i could hit the save button. Its not in my imagination! I have like a whole class as my witnesses.
So right now Fer wants to kill me because she wants to read this blog and I haven´t let her. So I´ll Blog more later about what I did yesterday and if you want more about Fer and Santi´s love/hate relationship.

Restrictions?

Doesn't the quiet annoy you? I mean when there's no sound what so ever around you. I get really annoyed by it. When there's nobody at my house but me and my dog i have to put the TV volume kind of loud or else I feel like there's someone else in the house apart from me and I start freaking out. even when theres people in my house i need noise to be able to funtion. If theres no sound at all then I just sit around, start doing my homework but then get unfocused looking for my i Pod or something so i can hear something. I can't even sleep if there's no sound around me, if there's no sound then I just toss around the bed restlessly. I know its weird since people usually need silence to sleep but I just can't. So you can imagine that I cant get on my computer without automatically going to a music website and hearing music. Or I'll just get on to watch a TV show. Which brings me to my other point. What bothers me is when you go to a TV channel website were they have put the full episode and you click to watch but you cant. The reason why you cant watch it " You are currently in a territory outside of the U.S and the content is blocked". What does this mean? This show is being showed here but its just not up to date so how can it be blocked? Or when music videos are blocked on youtube. Thats just the highlight of my day seriously I can hear the music out of which ever person who puts it up with alone but i cant see the video. Why?? Is the video to special to be shown in my country? Seriously?

I should probably talk about my life. Yesterdays post talked about how hard it is to leave your friends but I really didn't talk about my life and moves. I mean I talked about me moving 5 times but i didn't really go into it.
Since i was a little baby I have been moving from place to place. My first move happened when I was about ten months old, it was to Brazil. Though I don't really remember much from Brazil it affected me a lot since my first memory if there and I began to walk there. My family lived there for about two years and then my dad was sent to the States.
I remember this move a bit clearer since I was older. I started pre-kinder there, even though I'm from Colombia, my first language is English. This affected me since most of my family only knows how to speak Spanish and i was the only person who talked with an accent while speaking my mother language. I stayed there for about 2 years and then we were moved to Venezuela.
If you ask me now what i remember from Venezuela I can tell you every single memory I had there. I think Venezuela has been one of the places were i have lived the most. I remember how i used to think that I was a grade above from the one i was actually in. So you can see my confusion of when i moved to Argentina and being places in a grade level "below" the one i was in before. In Venezuela i made long lasting friendships and great memories, and a lot of the vocabulary still comes out every now and then. I lived for about 3 and a half years there. When we moved to Argentina, I cried so much but after a while I couldn't really tell why i had cried so much.
I got to Argentina in the middle of the second semester of second grade. So i had a lot of catching up to do but my new friends, who would later become best friends, helped me a lot. After about six months I couldn't imagine a life without me being in Argentina. In the 3 and a half to 4 years i was there my childhood was formed. As i have said before , i truly couldn't picture me leaving Argentina. But as always after a time period of being in a place my family was moved once again to Colombia. I've been in Colombia for over 4 years now and its been good being here close to family and a new expirience for me since its the first time I live in Colombia for over 14 years.

Best Friends

Don't you just hate it when your best friend lives in another country?
I'm sure many people live right next door to their bff but when you move alot like me, its gets really hard to see them or even speak with them. That happened to me three times since i was born. I have moved countries about five times in my life and I'm only 14 years old. So in average I stay in a country for about 3 years. I started moving since i was 10 months old and my most recent move was back to my home country, Colombia. Since two of the moves happened when i was small it makes sense that i don't remember all my friends and well at least right now I don't remember how i reacted to moving. When i moved from Venezuela, where i had made most of my first memories, I cried almost every night for about 3 months. It was really hard for me to be far from my mom for like two weeks, I was 6 years old. But soon after I got there I started making friends and I didn't even resent my parents for making us move to there. The best part was that my best friend lived in the same neighborhood and I would always go to her house. As we settled into our new life's I began to meet more and more people and I had almost forgotten all the good friends i had left behind, but not entirely. I still remember but were not as great friends since we haven't seen us in a very long time and well we have lost touch. This is really sad since lots of great friendships have died down.
As I started growing up and making more and more memories which would end up being my childhood memories I really started to think that I was going to grow up there with all my friends. And naturally I became attached to the idea and my friends. At the end of fifth grade I was ready to go to vacations like all of my class mates. Though two of my best friends were leaving, and i felt sad, everything seemed normal. The second to last weekend of May I received the worst news, I was moving back to Colombia. I couldn't believe it I was leaving my home and worst of all my best friend. You cant imagine all the nights I cried before and after leaving Argentina. When i got to Colombia, all i thought was that nothing would be better than Argentina. I cried, literary all the nights for about 6 months. I missed my friends and all the things that i was used to doing every afternoon. Don't get me wrong I have great friends here but those first months i just dreamed about going to Argentina and seeing my friends again as if nothing would have changed. Then I realized that there's no good in thinking what could have been. Whats in the past is in the past there's nothing you can do to change anything all you can do is live in the present. When I realized this everything just seemed so much easier and i made new best friends here. I still missed my best friends, but when i created a Facebook and saw that my best friend had one, we started talking again. I still talk to her now and though its not the same as having her here ,its better than to not have any contact with her at all.
