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!

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

I knooooow, I know

Hi once again!

I know I always say I'll be back for sure but since I've arrived I haven't had a free moment. I was elected group delegate and I had rehearsals almost every day.

We had our Bernada Alba adaptation last friday and it was very different from our last version but it was an awesome experience. I'm so happy with the cast and the director, we do an amazing team.

Also my laptop is broken *cries eternally* and I must wait until december to fix it. Which meeeeans I'll spend holidays back home! I thought this year I wouldn't be back but I'll see my friends and family an eat delicious holidays food.

I'll try to post more with the app (which I hate... aaaagh), but still I'll try and also with the school computers (which I also hate because is very uncomfortable but jhdfabpviapig).

Lots, lots of love

Back in Spain!

Hello! I'm back in Spain! I got here on Monday, my trip was terrible I felt I've traveled for an entire week, but well I'm back and the year started great. We're rehearsing again Bernarda Alba and I couldn't be so happy about it. We'll be performing in a festival in Madrid.

I must say right now I really miss home, I want to be with my mom and siblings but I now I must keep strong. As I said before this year I have a big goal: New York 2015-2016. I'm hoping I can go on exchange, and I'm working very hard for it.

Well I must go back and learn some monologues... sight* I'm officially back.

Fainting...

Hi! Ooooook, so I was very proud of me cause I was posting blogs daily buuuuut something happened...

So I got this big pain in my neck and when I went to the doctor, she did some weird move in my neck and I fainted for a while. The thing is I've been resting a lot and that why I couldn't blog. But I'm back and the countdown continues till I leave, I have a week left and I'm already feeling nostalgic. 

I also wanted to share with you guys what I did now in my makeup class.

This one was sooooo much fun to make! Sadly on tuesday I'll have my laaaast class.

Make up class!

Hello! I've been taking this week some make up classes, but not any type of make up... MAKE UP FOR THEATER <3


Today we did some drag, and it's so crazy! Specially getting the eye brows covered...


In my previews classes I did an old women and a kinda very punched faced.


It's been so much fun, sadly I have to classes left, and as I said yesterday the countdown continues. Today I started packing because it's what I hate the most of traveling. Oh well, 12 days left.

So the count down starts for me to leave my home town. I'm going back to (my now second year) in Spain. I must say times goes by so fast and I can't believe it's been a year now. It also make me sad that I have to leave again, I miss everyone around here very much because costumes are very different from ours. Still I having so much fun in Spain and I enjoy studying what I love and my adoptive family over there is so cool. Also in october we'll be doing our Bernarda Alba adaptation in a theater festival and that makes me so exited and happy.

I have 13 days left *cries

"If I Stay" Review





Yesterday I saw this movie, and I must say it wasn't what I expected. First, personally I'm not a big fan of Chloe's acting and this movie wasn't the exception. At first I thought this movie would be more like a "life choices" themed with the love story, but it was mainly and exclusively about their love life.


I do like chick flicks with all that they include but in the trailer this seemed so much different and interesting. I must say I did cried in the end because of a scene with Chloe's character and her grandpa, but that was it. This movie would have been really complete if they would've shown more about her home life and the music and not focus on the problems she had with her boyfriend.



I'm not saying this is a bad movie, the thing is it got sold as something very different from what it is. If you like chick flicks this is a very good movie for you.
