My new art

To really love a woman
To understand her - you gotta know her deep inside
Hear every thought - see every dream
N' give her wings - if she wants to fly
Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman then tell her
that she's really wanted
When you love a woman then tell her that she's the one
'cause she needs somebody to tell her
that it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
- really really ever loved a woman?

To really love a woman
Let her hold you -
till you know how she needs to be touched
You've gotta breathe her - really taste her
Till you can feel her in your blood
N' when you can see your unborn children in her eyes
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman
then tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman then tell her that she's the one
'cause she needs somebody to tell her
that you'll always be together
So tell me have you ever really -
really really ever loved a woman?

You got to give her some faith - hold her tight
A little tenderness - you gotta treat her right
She will be there for you, takin' good care of you
Ya really gotta love your woman...

Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman
When you love a woman you tell her
that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
she needs somebody to tell her
that it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
- really really ever loved a woman?

Just tell me have you ever really,
really, really, ever loved a woman? You got to tell me
Just tell me have you ever really,
really, really, ever loved a woman?

INNER STRENGTH- I need it!

"Inner Strength"

Gotta find your inner strength
If you can't then just throw life away
Gotta learn to rely on you

Beauty, strength, and wisdom, too
You're beautiful inside and out
Lead a great life without a doubt
Don't need a man to make things fair
'Cuz more than likely he won't be there
Listen girl, gotta know it's true
In the end all you've got is you "

Master of Education- studying at home

I am now doing my Master in Melbourne University. It is an Education Master. Therefore there is a lot of reading involve. When I first chose this Master I was so exited about the big amount of subjects and areas in which I could choose from. And when I finally new what I wanted to specialized in I decide to do it in"Education and Social Equity", but I discover that some of the subject for that area were offered only in summer or others were not offer this year at all. After that I start looking to the subjects all over again , and I chose the area of "Thinking, Knowledge and Creativity".

But when I received my time table and my subjects for this semester I realized that I had only 3 days of classes, I was on shock the only thing that i wanted was to go every day to Uni and learn as much as I could in One year period. I was even more impressed when I realized that my classes were from 5 until 8 in the afternoon. What was I going to do the entire day at home?

Well Know I know that doing a Master it spending all your free time READING- SEARCHING- READING- HIGHLIGHTING- AND UNDERSTANDING BOOKS/ ARTICLES.

But is so hard to concentrate and study and read so much for so many hours a day. Some time I fund my self in the most wear positions on my bed reading or on the grass of my back yard looking the small ants walking across my articles, books and notes.

It has been a different and difficult experiences. And I am still trying to controlling my self (from sleeping to much- using to much Facebook- scaping from my readings by doing some crafty thing- wanting to be all day taking pictures outside) so I can pass this new challenge in my life.

WISH MY LUCK!

METhis is my lovely and awesome boyfriend, we have been together for more than one and a half year and we just fell like the first day , we love each other every day more.

My two biggest passion are Traveling and Photography. I really like traveling, I have been in six countries and I have already lived in USA for 6 months and now in Australia for more that 9 months. And thanks to my passion for traveling I have the opportunity to take beautiful pictures, Each day I love it more.

This is mi lovely MOM!

I love my family of them are in Chile (L) and I love my friends they are with me always, where ever I go I carry with me all their love and care.

I enjoy the nature and animals with all my heart, all say that instead being a teacher I should study something related with animals or nature.

I definitely adore going for a coffee/ dinner/ lunch/ picnic/ dinner/ brunch/ breakfast/ tea and so on I am fascinated by trying new thing to eat and taste.

THIS IS ME!

Mandalas

I love and enjoy mandalas, I am able to relax, create and think better by doing a mandala. It has help me very much in the last months in Australia. Further more I know the have a spiritual and ritual significance in cultures like Buddhism and Hinduism, so I really thinks Mandalas help me spiritually to connect with others, the nature and my self and they also help me to meditate. I have chosen mostly flowers, and I created some blossom mandalas :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Amo y disfruto de los mandalas, haciendo mandalas me puedo relajar, crear y pensar mejor. Me ha audado mucho en los ultimos meses en Australia. Mas aun Se que tiene un significado espirituat y de ritual en culturas como Budismo e Hinduismo, por lo tanto realmente creo que los Mandalas me ayudan espiritualmente, me conectan con migo misma, los otros y la naturaleza y tambien me ayudan a meditar. Escojo siempre flores y he creado florecidos mandalas.

Cuncunas/ Caterpillar

I really love caterpillar, I like to see them and imagine how will the be when they change to butterfly. It is also one of my favorites words in English, that epistemologically comes from the old French "catepelose" meaning "hairy cat". I wander if some day will I be able to find a caterpillar with cat face :). Although I have never found a yellow one, they are the main character of my favorite children song "Cuncuna Amarilla" (Yellow caterpillar).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Me encantan las cuncunas me gusta observarlas e imaginar como seran cuando cambien a mariposa. Ademas es una de mis plabras favoritas en ingles Caterpillar, que segun la epistemologia de la palabra vendria de una alteracion del Frances antiguo "catepelose" que significa "hairy cat" o gato peludo. Me pregunto si encontrare alguna con cara de gatito. Ademas es la protagonista de mi cancion favorita desde pequeña "Cuncuna amarilla" de Mazapan. A pesar de que nunca he encontrado una especificamente amarilla, aca hay algunas de ellas.

This a caterpillar, we found her on a rainy day in Studley Park in Melbourne. We were hiding from the rain down a tree, and she was there enjoying rain drops on her body.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Esta es una que encontramos un dia de lluvia en Studley Park en Melbourne. Refugiados bajo un arbol para no mojarnos, la encontramos a ella que pareciera estar disfrutando de tener su cuerpo lleno de gotitas.

We went to Ballarat Wildlife Park in Melbourne so we can see tipical australian animals.

But there was no dute that the best picture that we took was this one a beautiful caterpillar

on a colorful leave.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fuimos a un parque de vida salvaje en Ballarat, Melbourne a ver tipicos animales autralianos. Pero sin duda la mejor foto fue la que dejo esta cuncuna caminando sobre una hoja llena de color.

Every single caterpillar is different, and therefore on their butterfly life they will be too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cada cuncuna es diferente a la otra, tal como lo seran como diferentes mariposas.

Mordialloc

A beautiful place to visit, is 24 km South east of Melbourne. The name Mordialloc comes from an indigenous word Moordy Yallock meaning "Moody creek" . This is a nice place to visit, you can walk on the beach or the bridge and rent a boat. To finish with the sunset next to you, you can walk on the bridge and you will find the Cafe bar "Doyles Deck and Bistro" on The Bridge Hotel. A cosy and elegant place. The best is to sit in front of the chimney on the sofas, perfect for a Autumn or winter day. You can order a wood fire pizza, the Marinara pizza totally worth it. A bottle of white wine and at the end a warm banana pudding with vanilla ice cream.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Un lugar bello para visitar a 24 km Sur Este de Melbourne . El nombre viene de una palabra indigina Moordy Yallock que significa "moody creek". Lindo lugar para caminar por la playa o arrendar lanchas. Para terminar con una puesta de sol, caminando por el muelle lleno de botes, se puede llegar a Cafe Bar, Doyles Deck and Bistro en The Bridge Hotel. Un lugar acogedor y elegante. Lo mejor sentarse en los sillones alado de la chimenea, sobretodo en un dia de otoño o invierno, mirando el muelle y los pinos cerca del restaurante. Pedir de todas maneras una pizza, el chef hace las masas a vista de todos y en horno a leña, recomnedable pizza Marinara (calamares, langostinos, pezcado, salmon) y una botella de vino blanco y para terminar banana warm pudding con helado de vanilla.
