2 Years Ago...

Hello!

2 years ago... well, not exactly two years ago, but yes at the beginning of this month I celebrated that I arrived to Spain! Is in it crazy how fast time goes by? I wrote a small post thanking everyone, since this year I am not there I still wanted to thank everyone. It has been a crazy ride, but the most wonderful one. Of course there are days that I miss home so much, but it is also true that I have without even noticing, built my home there. My school, friends and adoptive family back in Spain, I love you so much and I miss you so incredibly much.

Hoy, hace dos años, llegué (por primera vez) a España! No lo puedo celebrar justo ahí porque la vida nos lleva hacia nuestros sueños, pero aún así para mí es de celebrarlo porque ha sido un paso muy importante en mi vida y uno de los sueños más increibles. No solo he podido hacer lo que amo sino que he conocido a la gente más increible y que me han ayudado a crecer. 

A mi gente en Nebrija, que aprendo de mis compañeros mucho y hacemos de las nuestras en clase. A mis profesores y directores que me han ayudado e instruido a mejorar en lo que más me gusta: el teatro. A mis Bernardas, que a pesar de la distancia nos hemos visto evolucionar y llegar a nuevas metas. 

A mi hermana del alma, Ari, que siempre digo que me haz enseñado a ser un poquito más mala, pero en realidad es a ser ma yo. Gracias por tantas aventuras y locuras, por siempre escucharme y sobre todo soportarme! 

A mi familia extendida, mi familia adoptiva que tanta falta me hacen. A mis tías y tíos adoptivos: la increible y poderosa tía Patty y tío Gustavo, la amorosa tía Anita y tío Turco, los graciosos y atentos tía Mariana y Jackie, con las locuras y ocurrencias de Almudena, y la cariñosa de Clarita y al tan ayudador de Jackie . Y por supuesto mis primos adoptivos! Además a mis hermanos adoptivos, Manu y Rodri por todas sus atenciones hacia mi. Y la la granDiosa Dessi, por hacerme reir siempre y tus paseos! Y a mi sobrino adoptivo Mateo, que su creatividad y talento me sorprende siempre. Y sobre todo a mis padres adoptivos, 

María y Julio, no me queda más que darles gracias, gracias y mil veces gracias! Me hacen tanta falta todos sus consejos e historias, el cariño infinito de María y su singular alegria y manera de hacer las cosas. A Julio, sus ronquidos y gritos al ver el soccer me hacen falta pero sobre todo sus anecdotas y locuras. Gracias España, por llenarme de tantas alegrías y logros, te haz vuelto un hogar y un gran pedazo de mi corazón!

The Birthday Vlog!

Hello!
So today I was doing some homework and all of a sudden I recalled my birthday, and I thought I could edit a video of that day... and here it is!

I had such an amazing time that day, I enjoyed it so much. The people that I love the most and that wanted to be there were there, well except for my people in Spain, but besides that everything went more than perfect.

In the video there are many special moments for me: my sister trying to avoid me filling her, my mom telling the story of the day I was born, my friends and our crazy conversations, my aunts singing, and the most special our friend Salome (my birthday was the last day I spent with her.). I miss her so much and it is still crazy to think that she is not here anymore.

Thanks to everyone who joined me that day and made it so wonderful

Sister Makeup Swap Challenge

Hello!
My sister and I have COMPLETELY different styles, she is more into Rock & Roll and I am more into a romantic edgy style (I guess...). So during the summer we filmed this just for fun, but I decided to edit it and send it to her, because I miss her craziness so much and just bein around her and do our stuff together. Thought I could share this!

Love you so much my lil' sis,

Dreams do come true

Hello


Yes, I know I always do this and I always say I will stop and do this frequently and I don't. Soooo I will stop promising that I will and I'll do it when I can do it. With this said I can start with my bla bla bla ;).

I always say that dreams do come true, of course there is hard work involved, but they do happen. I look back and I remember my 12 year old self dreaming of acting just on the school stage. Later on I day dreamed about acting on Broadway. I always said to my friends how much I would love to travel the world, act all around the world and live in New York. 

Now I see my life and I have no clue in what instant it all became true. It al started when I moved to Spain and since then all my dreams started coming realities. I have about a month and a half living in New York... NEW YORK. Of course I have to do a lot of sacrifices because everything is SO expensive, but in the end it is worth it. 

Also, I am attending to a University in New York... WHAT? So now, I did an audition, thinking that by any chance I would get a role. Then I got a callback and that on it's own it was insane, and then I got the read for the two leading roles on the play... CRAY-ZY.

Today I got the news that I am in the cast... as a LEADING ROLE. The role it is not important to me at all, I have learned to have fun doing what I love, no matter what the job involves. But of course, I won't lie, it is very satisfying to get this responsibility. I have been acting since I was five years old, and I have many joys but also many struggles. 

This have just started, and I am incredibly blessed. Full of joy, couldn't ask for more. I know this is just the beginning and I have to work three times harder.

Lot's of love
