something you like to do outside

One of the activities that I like to do outdoors is walking the streets, watching and looking at the interesting details of the route, paying attention to the space and draw or take pictures.

I like it a lot when I make drawings of space, because I feel that it is something I am good at and that it is not so easy to perform in general. Besides being entertaining for me, for being part of something I quite like that is drawing, when I do this activity I feel less exposed to the public space, less exposed to the rest and more confident in what I am doing when I do it, it is as a corner in which I feel safe and comfortable being outside while the world goes around, so I forget all my fears or worries that are generated while being on the street and I feel safe and calm drawing, it is a sensation that I like a lot.

I started with this activity since last year, and over time I was feeling better every time I went out to draw those things that interested me in my journey, I sat in one place and I dedicated myself to look at it and get the best out of my drawing. Today is little time that I have to do such an activity, but it is still my favorite and generating the same effect every time I do it.

A city I would Like to Visit

One of the cities that I would like to visit is Havana, the capital of the largest island in the Caribbean: Cuba. 

I would like to visit the island for a lot of reasons, its tropical climate that maintains an eternal summer but balanced by the rains at mid-afternoon in certain months, its beaches of warm water and fine sand. In addition to its picturesque colonial buildings, the most modern built during the twentieth century and during the process of the revolution, in addition to its history in the Latin American context.

 Havana is a city trapped for tourism at the time, particularly in the early years of the Cuban revolution, which makes you travel until those years, being perhaps the few places in the world that still manage to revive one of the most revolutionary epochs of our recent history. In addition to the good rum and mojitos that are the specialty of the bars on the island. 

Havana is a Spanish Colonial city, was one of the first founded after the invasion of America, and has experienced a series of revolutionary processes being the last one in the island, the revolution of 1959, the iconic Cuban revolution that convulsed throughout Latin America. 

Mainly for all these reasons I would like to go, and I am sure that my boyfriend would also like it because he loves Cuba, rum and tobacco, as well as Cuban history and revolution.

A birthday or a celebration

A celebration that I remember and I like is Christmas, not in a specific year but in general. I like it mainly because this celebration was held at my aunt's house, which took great care that it was special, with everyone gathered.

Every Christmas, a whole work was done so that this was the best, meals were prepared, the tree spectacularly decorated with lights of different colors besides the decoration of the home. Before it was twelve o'clock, the children left in the hope of finding the Old Poinch looking at the sky, to see if his sleigh was showing up somewhere. Before the boys and girls returned to the house to receive their gifts, the bells rang to resemble the sound of Santa Claus and his sleigh. After that, the youngest were dedicated to distribute the gifts found after the passage of the Old Boy to each of the family members present in the order in which they were.

The first times we celebrated Christmas at my aunt's house, it was just me and my dad, because the relationships were not the best between my father and my mother, so it was just a visit from brothers. But with the pass of time, things got better and my mother also participated in the Christmas celebrations at my aunt's house.

A TV programme i enjoyed as a child

The program that I liked the most when I was younger was SpongeBob, a Nickelodeon caricature that was on the air almost all day on the channel (it was one of the star programs of its time, even today it is still on television). The theme of the program was mainly comedy, and it focused on the life of SpongeBob Squarepants, a sea sponge of square pants that works in a fast food restaurant on the sea floor (specifically in the bottom of Bikini) next to his neighbor Squidward, an angry squid fan of the clarinet, and his boss Mr. Krabs, who like any businessman was a fan of money and profits. The adventures were developed around the problems lived by the inhabitants of Bikini background and Bob himself, who generally in conjunction with Patricio Estrella (A starfish) and Arenita (A squirrel that used a helmet to survive underwater) they faced daily complex issues for the lives of Bikini Fund residents. Along with these appeared countless extra characters, such as Plankton the biggest rival of Mr. Krabs and Bob, and many others that gave way to a lot of adventures for Bob and his companions. What I liked the most, besides its characters and the jokes of the program, was the song of the introduction, which is perhaps one of the classics of the history of the introductory songs to television programs.

That's all folks!

A hobby

Generally the drawing is considered an activity understood as a hobby for most, because it has a perspective of entertainment and distraction, but in my personal case drawing I consider it a much more important activity than a mere hobby, for me the drawing is a tool and a way to express and develop my deepest ideas, to the point of being a fundamental part of my development as a person both in my intimate sphere and in the future. This is why I do not consider it a hobby despite being an activity that I develop frequently.

For that reason, I consider that within what I might consider a hobby is playing music, particularly with my ukulele. Over time I have dedicated myself to learning to play it looking for videos on YouTube because I am not good at reading scores and the videos help me learn to play the music that I like. The first song I learned in my Ukulele was Edith Piaf's Vie en Rose, which has great value for me because it is the song that my father liked. From there I learned some other songs, mainly Twenty One Pilots that is one of the groups that I like and that despite being of an Alternative Rock style, they introduce this instrument in some of their songs, which has also helped me to learn to use my instrument better.

That's all folks!
