Today I am going to talk about a recent project that I’m starting.  I usually work on my own projects, but this time I am working with my boyfriend Nicolás.   He is a musician, a folk singer. He makes little concerts in many different bars in Santiago.  I always help him with his graphic content, the posters and the photography.  Now he is starting to work in his fist disc, so the work that I must do is his songbook that will come with the disc (and I also have to create the disc sleeve but I am more excited for the songbook). We haven’t figured it out how we will make it or how will it look like but the fist thing he must do is the pass me the lyrics of the songs and then I should start thinking how i’ll do it. I have a few ideas tho, maybe it will be like a fanzine, or maybe like a pop-up songbook.  I think is a little bit difficult, because I want to capture exactly what he wants and I want it to look great. I don’t know how lo...

I love watching movies, I love going to the movies. I go every time I can, and when I can't I go anyways. And it's very difficult to decide what my favorite movie would be, so I'll talk about the last movie I went to see at the cinema: Ema, by Chilean director Pablo Larraín.

The film is set in Valparaíso, and is about a young couple, Ema and Gastón, both involved in a contemporary dance company, who decide to return their adopted son. Ema wants to fix the damage she has done to her son, but otherwise, she feels unable to take care of him. The film shows some difficulties of the adoption process and how painful it can be, also questioning the meaning of family. It is more symbolic and experimental.

Today I am going to talk about a special celebration that I really liked and it was really fun. Last year my roomates and I throw a Christmas party in our apartment. It was like the 8th of december and we did it because one of my friends was going to Europe for one month and we wanted to celebrate christmas in our home. We decorated the apartment completely, we put lights everywhere, and a friend of mine lent us his christmas tree. Our apartment is always pretty but I think that time was the most beautiful it has ever been.  We made dinner for the three of us and a lot of Sangría (with a lot of fruit) and that was delicious. We invited about 30 people and we also made a digital invitation, they came after our dinner.  We had a dress code with a red garment, so everyone went with red clothes, even one friend bought a red t-shirt just for the occasion.  And we had a lot of fun, we danced a lot and we baked duchess potatoes at 3 am. Although the next...
