ANI ANI ANIMAL LOVER

 Im going to show you why i am an animal lover! after this set of images you will probably die of cutness. Look at this:
   


NOW I DARE YOU TO TELL ME THOSE AREN'T THE MOST CUTE THINGS WALKING ON THIS PLANET!
I think i'm an animal lover, i would love to have a lot of animals and take care of them all the time!
I don't have any pets now because ,basically, i don't have the space enough to have them; but when i was a child i had a lot of dogs and i loved them with all my heart! Specially one...
Her name was Laika, ( like the Soviet space dog who became one of the first animals in space)
she was a gift from my mom and my aunt when i was 3 or 4 years old. She was the best pet ever , i was so little and i loved to run  behind her in the backyard of our house.
Animals are amazing and i can't stand that they're used like instruments in medical researches, it's unbelievable and cruel. I'm not a  vegan , nore vegetarian and i know this might be a little bit contradictory but i think there're other ways to know if a product is safe or not for us - human beings- without using them, ignoring the fact they're creatures that  feel the pain just like us . Of course science need to "move one" and "work for us" because " we rule this planet" but no. We don't, we are just another animal here, we have to live in peace and try to find friendly ways to make "our science". They're not our slaves.
The "Zoo's" are another thing i'm not agree with. Because a lot of them are tiny places where the animals are so stressed! they can't even run around! its awful. If the Zoo has the conditions enough to keep the animals safe and comfortable is... ok? i don't know. I really don't like Zoo's but i think that now, in the times we're  living through , sometimes ... the animals are more safe in Zoo's - just in some of them- ( i have to point this out because there're a lot of zoo's with amazing conditions , with people  very worried of taking care of the animals and saved them of the worst predatory... the humans).
for example: people who buy and furry coats. They must be in jail forever!

About dogs:
I think dogs are responsibility of their owners. Dogs aren't "bad" by nature. Is the men and will always be the men the problem here. If you have a dog and you take care of it properly  you wouldn't have problems. The world wouldn't have the "dogs problem" . How many time has do wee need to realize that we are the problem here? . Dogs shouldn't be banned or muzzled but let's be honest.. we can't do that now. We could if we change our minds, if we change how we acts and if we stop being the horrible persons we are. Who would think about leave a friend alone in the street, by his own, without home , without food, without love? Would you? Would you leave a friend? I think you wouldn't, so why abandon your dog friend?.

My Animal Spirit:
I think about this a lot... if i was an animal which one would i be? , i think  i would be a QUOKKA. BECAUSE -this need a photo-


LOOK AT THIS BUDDY! IS THE HAPPIEST ANIMAL EVER!

TECH EYE

Some days the sky has a weird and beautiful colour, sometimes i just want to savesome seconds for ever, the night, the stars, some lights, trees, flowers, clouds, the ground, streets, faces... forever. Sometimes i want to save the moments with my friends  and sometimes, only sometimes, i want to save my own smile, so  one day when i get older i'd be able to see the pictures. I'm a keeper of good feelings, a keeper of moments.
My favourite piece of technology is this weird thing people call "camera".
I've got it about a year ago,well.. actually isn't mine but i use it like it was!! ( i want my own camera so bad) I like because with it i can save the best moments for a long time and rewind them everytime i want to.
I use it when i find a good thing to keep in my memory, i don't know.. sometimes i take pictures of my bother when he's dancing around me, or pics of my friends when they're laughing, or pics of my hair when is blue, or pic of the sunrise, basically i like to  take pictures about all the things that make me happy and pictures about all the thing that makes me feel "something" deep in my soul... the emptiness of the desert.
It's amazing what you can do just by pressing  a button. (of course i know it isn't just a button but i think you got my point) , i take pictures  very often , i have a lot of folders in my computer just with pictures on them. I won a photography contest once, it was amazing by the way!!!
i think i already told you with i like this tech piece, is amazing the fact that  you can save moments almost forever , at least for a long time  , so you won't forget the thing that were happening when you took the pic. It's amazing.
I think that my life without it would be so forgettable, because taking pictures is a way to tell your story, it's a way to tell others what kind of thing do you see because not everyone see the same things, the details,the feelings inside a picture, the speech in the photo... it's a way to tell others about yourself and about the world through your eyes.
YOU SHOW THEM THE WORLD THROUGH YOUR LIFE, THROUGH YOUR EYES, THROUGH THAT TECH EYE.
The photos are the stories and history through the people eyes.

THE FIRST HELL ... MAYBE.

That's right.. we're living the first hell time in university... THE FIRST SEMESTER! YAY! , i don't know if it's hell to be honest, because even when is hard is exiting but... we have the test week right in front of our faces and we're..i am, kinda terrified .
This semester i'm taking 6 subjects: Philosophy of Social Sciences, Anthropology,Latin American History, English, Methodology,Biology and Archaeology.
I think my favourites subject are History, Philosophy and Archaeology because i feel i'm learning a lot of things i always wanted to learn about.
This semester i'm not taking extracurriculars because i think i don't have time enough to take them and i really want to use all my energy and time with the "important" ones.
i'd love to take french and theater the next semester, i hope i could... but firts i need to know how this new "system" works and how much time i need to study and do all the things i have to .
About other activities in the university  i have to say that i'm not really into doing some right now, i barely have time between the buses and the university , adding the fact that  i live away (so far way haha)  from the faculty so i can't take other activities even when i'd like to.
I expect to have good grades in all the subjects, at least in all the "important" tests of each ones because i don't want to give exams, I NEED MY WINTER BREAK !.
That's all about my little firts hell in univerity, i think...
ps: i have 3 tests next week and i don't know if i have to cry or kill myself right now. For Real.
ps2: i'm just kidding, but i wish i had more time to read all the stuff i need to read in .. 3 days .

One Hundred

I'm Javiera Vargas, i'm 17 years old and i'm going to tell you a little about myself in one hundred words.
I was born in Santiago  but i moved to Curicó,a small city in the VII region of Chile .There i went to elementary school and then high school, where i made a lot of good friends. I always wanted to study Anthropology after high school and the only option i had was to move again to Santiago, so i came back, but this time alone. I used to live with my parents and my little brother but now I'm living with my grandmother , my aunt, my cousin and uncle, it's pretty awesome but i can't deny i miss home a lot.
When i was in Curicó i loved to do a lot of things in my free time, like dance flamenco and do theater, now i don't have much free time but i'm still doing some things, like listen to music, writing, painting, drawing and reading.
The university is a whole new world for me and even when its hard to be comfortable in some way, i'm having a good time and i'm truly enjoying it.All the subjects i'm interested in are joined in this career , that's why im happy with it and i'd love to success.
I think i should tell a little freak facts about me because .. let's be honest, we all love the weird facts about people.
I like to eat ice cream in winter and i hate bugs, i don´'t like vegetables and love the rain, i like to read poems out loud and dance when nobody is watching. I love to watch the sky when is full of stars and i hate when people think everything is always wrong... i love to smile even if i'm sad and i like to share hugs ... I hate when the day is cloudy and i don't have a coffee and my hands, i'love to paint and draw in my arms and i'd love.. someday... being in the moon.
