Trees and Kids

I've been creeping on trees and little kids lately

Spring Break 2012

I had the really great opportunity to spend my spring break (or reading break, because I'm in Canada and things aren't looking too spring-y yet) on a school field trip in California. We visited some really great artists, art galleries, and a couple of animation studios. It was life changing! 

If you're interested in how the trip went, check out the ECUAD Animation dept blog C:

Here are some doodles from the trip:

Ughh I need to get better at watercolors!

Doodling some ideas for my grad project:

Do I get to brag a little? I visited DreamWorks! It was a dream come true, everything was great and everyone was welcoming and friendly <3

Winter Break 2011

Happy 2012 everybody! My winter break was amazing. I had the great opportunity to visit my mom's family in California (I *am* that hispanic stereotype with the enormous extended family). We did some really cool tourism, and some really cool hanging out with those cousins-I-didn't-know-existed. It was so much fun to be around my family and eat Salvadoran food almost every day! I missed pupusas so much; I didn't have any last semester and they are just the yummiest dish on Earth. God bless all delicious-pupusa-makers of the world.

2011 was a year in which I learned a lot about myself. I believe I was too selfish and self-centered the entire year (I did volunteering and protested against something terrible once over the summer and it was great, but I don't think that's enough), so one of my resolutions is to try and be more selfless, more helpful, and to take action in standing up for causes I support.

Anyway, I'm really excited about 2012. This year is looking pre-tty good, and I'm very happy and thankful to be doing what I love. It's absolutely crazy that I'll start working on my GRAD PROJECT in a couple of months... Time does fly. 

May this year be blessed with awesomeness of all kinds for you guys as well <3

¡Feliz año nuevo a todxs! Salí como dos semanas y media de vacaciones de la escuela, y me hizo una falta inmensa no ir a El Salvador. Sin embargo, no me quejo de nada, ya que bajé a California a ver a la familia de mi mamá (porque soy salvadoreña y *obviamente* tengo una familia inmensa). Fue una vacación excelente. Logré hacer un montón de cosas y ver un montón de lugares que no había visto antes - sin contar la posibilidad de comer comida salvadoreña (casi) TODOS los días. Sostengo que las pupusas son mi comida favorita. Dios bendiga a todas las pupuseras (o pupuseros) que pueden.

El 2011 fue un año interesante para mí. Creo que pasé más tiempo sola del que hubiera querido, pero logré aprender mucho sobre mí gracias a esto. Aprendí que soy más egoísta y egocéntrica de lo que creo, y que esto es algo que debo cambiar (porque hice voluntariado una vez y fui a protestar a Capres por una cosa horrible, pero igual no es mucho). Quiero poder ayudar más y poner manos a la obra en causas que apoyo.

Estoy mega emocionada por este año nuevo. Admito que vivo una vida increíblemente bendecida, y estoy muy agradecida por poder estar haciendo lo que quiero. Es ridículo pensar que en un par de meses voy a empezar a trabajar en mi tesis.
En fin, espero que este año esté lleno de todo tipo de bendiciones maravillosas para ustedes y sus seres queridos <3
