The Fairies=)


The fairies existed since man exists, and the legends that speak of them are lost along the origin of mankind. The word fairy is derived from the Latin FATA, which in turn derives from the word meaning destiny Fatum, and was also called to a goddess who was responsible for human avatars. The same source is the French word "fee" which are derived the English word "fey" and "fairei" which refer to the world of fairies. Every culture has its magical aspect, so there are several myths that say that fairies exist according to each existing mood and occupation on the planet. There are tales of love, poets, musicians, artists, anger, the sadness and each lives in a world alternate to ours where it is always spring and the colors shine more brightly. Most say that fairies are growing in the depths of our hearts and they leave that place only when we want to portray to the world what we are, that is why most said that they are our defenders against the rest.

My lasts summers



In the summers between 2004-2008 i used to go to a Summer Camp as a Teacher of girls and boys of 5,6 an 7 years old. This camp is ubacated in the north of Quito in Real Audiencias Av and Murialdo street, in a priest community that allows their space, yards and fields to create this Summer Camp that is headed for a Teens Group of the community. I went there for free, and all the teacheras are volunteers that want to help and do some useful things in their summer. There are many speciallities that the kids can decide to practice during their summer, like: dance, a scouts group, art and crafts, soccer, basketball, ping-pong and tennis. As usual I always was the dance teacher of the summer camp, and at the end of this one, my group of girls has to present what they have learned during the time in the camp.

The Polemic of Sisley´s Last Campaign: ADDICTED FOR FASHION


As we can see in the image this is the last promo picture for the Sisley brand. The idea is to compare addiction to fashion, providing the fashionistas, with any other drug, refering to the relation between fashion and cocaine. But this image caused a big polemic between the fashion world, the competition and the customers, because in any point of view spending money in clothes is more healthy than spend money in drugs, the thing here is that both cause addiction (fashion and cocaine). Most of the customers of Sislet are agree with this image, but the models are desagree because they think that this is against them, since it is known that most models are already addicted to cocaine while in fashion as in the case of the very famous model Kate Moss.

Dancing is my passion


Since I was very young I loved to dance. When I was 5 years old I entered in a ballet school, after 5 years I decided to stop and rest a little. After some years came the idea of learning a different rhythm that's when entered to the dance studio latin dance, where I learned to move more, dancing hip-hop. One year of practicing this genre we had the opportunity to participate in the CIAD (ineteramerican dance contest) to be held in Quito, dancers came from Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and several provinces of the country. This contest lasted a full week between preliminary and classifications. At the end of the week, my dance group and I were very lucky and because we prepared for a long time for this contest we could win the gold medal proudly in this genre.

New Year Celebration


The party of the new year eve this year my entire family and I traveled to the beaches of Canoa, where we all share a house of my family. This new year eves holiday we stayed a week in the beautiful sun of the province of Manabi, where you can enjoy beautiful scenery, all kinds of birds and sometimes whales are jumping through the sea of Bahia de Caraquez. The last time that i went there was 5 years ago and this last time I went, I found the whole town of San Vicente greatly changed, new hotels, new restaurants and new people. The night of 31, just like Christmas all my family, we were in the same place, but on the beach, dinner, burn the doll jumping over it to get over the things from the past, we eat 12 grapes that represent a wish each of them and finally we run around the block, that means that you are going to travel in the New Year that is comming, all these types of myths we do this tonight, it's fun to see how we are so different to other cultures from around the world

CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY


December is one of most beautiful months of the year, Christmas celebrations are very colorful and varied around the world. In Ecuador people are very warm and homely. In my family, the Christmas night, we all meet in my aunt's house at 9 pm, we have to wear a semiformal suit and each family should bring a salad, dessert or some kind of food for dinner. On December 24 is the day that you eat the most during the year, the board is everything from red rice to potato´s croquettes. For me it's the best day of the year, not only because i receive some gifts, is mostly because this night is when I see my whole family, all my uncles, aunts, cousins, even my grandma who lives in U.S come for this big party.. This it is most tired night of the holiday because during the day my sister and i have to help preparing and get averything ready for the night. There we pass having conversations, dancing, laughing, then at 11 at night we pray the holy bible and at 12 we have the dinner and then we open the presents. The next day we again meet together in the same house for lunch, eat what remained of the night before because there is always that leaves from the night before.
