CURRENT MISSION

stop eating crêpes!

ABOUT ME

All about you:
Hm, all of me... (that's jazz in my ears! hahaha)

Well, I study Law and Politics (currently in France -erasmus-, normally in Spain), now I'm in my 4th year (or first master year as the French like to call it ^^) and, no, I don't want to become a lawyer.

Ok, and now something more interesting than just CV stuff... I'll tell you something that happened to me last weekend in the supermarket:
I was looking for oatmeal because I wanted to bake some cookies (I loooove cookies! And muffins! And crêpes... OMG), some really tasty cookies -coconut oatmeal cookies- but I didn't find it. I started feeling stupid (and blind) when an old lady came to me and said something in French I didn't understand.
She kept on talking and I just looked at her, amused, trying to get a word of what she was saying. Finally, I figured out that she was complimenting my dress up.
With every minute I understood more and more. She told me about her mother who died 80 years ago, when she was born; about her father and sister who hated her as if it was her fault... And she swore on reading books.
By the end of our ephemeral talk, I had hugged this woman four times, wished her a nice weekend, told her that she was wonderful and that her family should admire her because of her strength and huge heart.
The last thing I remember are her last words "vous êtes adorable"... And that smile on her face. So glad; so lucky... As if she would keep our conversation in mind for a long time. The thought of being able to make somebody so happy with so little almost took me to tears.

PHILOSOPHY

let life flow

Interests

"music, books, people, photography, travelling, flowers, mojitos, the 60's... Food, TEA!, chocolate... (I'll come back to this in the future, right now I'm so hungry that I can't think clearly LOL)"

Well, that was my first CS session. Hum, I think now I'm able to express this hunger in better words: I love food (not every kind of food, because I'm following the soul-sisterism-culture, which is a diet based on the dishes that my soul sister and me like the best - it's a little selective, but it means basically: hardly meat, hardly fish/seafood, a looot of pasta, rice, vegetables...mmmh... and sweets! Oh, and I love spices, above all: vanilla, cinnamon, pepper, oregano, nutmeg, curry, ginger... Well, ok, I stop). What else do I like?
Japanese - I mean the language - and Asian culture in general...
Oh, damnit, I adore my guitar! And I adore everybody who plays any instrument... Even more if it is on the street! I love people who play in the street, so brave, my friends!
And I love conversations about capitalism, alternative economical systems, governance, globalisation... and philosophical subjects that make me think.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
The Lost City (soo nostalgic ^^), Memoirs of a Geisha (only case in which I prefer the movie rather than the book), Inception (so Dalí!), The Sting (looove Paul Newman and Robert Redford when they act together), Whatever works (best Woody Allen-movie), Breakfast at Tiffany's (Audrey is so lovely), Singin' in the rain, The Darjeeling Limited (perfect movie for a perfect moment), The Good The Bad and The Ugly (how come I like spaghetti western better than normal western??) most of Tim Burton-movies... Well, there are actually looots of movies I do like.

Music: Mando Diao (I feel so teenage when I admit that I love them... but, sorry, I do!), I also love The Beatles and rock music in general. Cuban music, jazz, classical... I like almost (just almost) every kind of music, because it's one of the most wonderful ways to express feelings.

Books: lately, I'm obsessed with political and economical stuff (but nothing worth to be mentioned).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

New York - A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. :D

Teach, Learn, Share

World shows us everything we need to know.
France taught me that "il n’est pas nécessaire d’espérer pour entreprendre ni de réussir pour persévérer".
Germany taught me that only "die Gedanken sind frei".
And Spain gave me the clue to understand that pessimism is something wonderful.
But all of this happens through people we meet on our way.
Learning is hard, but the day I'll stop learning, I won't want to live anymore.
Sharing is easy and everybody should share.
Teaching is sharing in a way that the other one understands the path of the thought.
