Gender and stereotype

Ok, hiiss... Gender and stereotypes, first of all, I talking about tha clothing (yas, it's a subject that I still do not let go). What is gender? Is a question easy to answer, the gender is only a social construction, so... if the gender doesn't exist in the body of people (becouse is a social construction), why the clothing can? Just like colors, shapes, seams or extravagances it doesn't belong to anyone. So, I can use extravagant clothes, clown clothes or whatever I want, and that would not mean anything.

The clothing more than meaning something, it is a creative way to express yourself  (I really enjoy fashion) where can we to combine colours, and be originals. I dont want to exaggerate, but is very entertaining play whit the clothing and choose what you can wear.

I remember when I was a high school, I used to go see clothes at the fair with a friend after school. None had money, but we had a lot of fun. I remember we loved men clothing, because it is was more comfortable than women clothing, more variables in their colors, and prints or phrases were more attractive. Instead tha woman clothing it is was more adjusted and shiny and... EW, I hated that (but my mom is old fashioned, so I used diva lenses, a little girl whit diva lenses).

Ohh, I remember too when parents of Angeles ( a friend of the high school) they got angry with her becouse she did not like to wear brassieres. I didn't understand why her parent were so angry, until her mom told me ''ok, but when you have a husband...''.

I insist, another stupid stereotype.

Why journalism

Hi! firt of all... Why journalism? Unlike many of my classmates, I wasn't born with the idea of studying journalism, in fact, most of my family wasn't informed so I had no incentive to think about journalism. So ... how did I choose this career? It's a good question, I'm an indecisive woman since I can remember, so until the middle of the 3rd grade I wanted to study all the careers in the humanistic area.

To be honest, my ideal career at the beginning was always dance or theater, but I don't come from a family with many incomes, so I wanted to choose a career that would give me at least to live (later they told me that journalism wouldn't be ' 'that career, but I'm stubborn). And both dance and theater remained as simple hobbies, which I do not practice because I don't have enough time.

Finally, (after thinking about it a lot) I applied to all the careers I wanted, reaching the top of possible options. My first option was journalism at the UCH, with the faith that I would not enter (do not ask me, I dont know either) and as a second option I put advertising. I enrolled in advertising, then that same day (after watching the morning show with a deep depression that I still don't understand) I received a call from the University of Chile and I enrolled in Journalism.

It suited me in every way, it was Santiago and I could also apply to the student residence of the University, I had no way to get lost ... and I didnt get lost.

My hobbies

Hello again, well ... I've lost a bit, although a few years ago I had an endless number of hobbies, I don't do much today. I think that basically my main hobby was to innovate in other things, to do what caught my attention, until I found what freed me. There was a time when I wrote too much, there was another time in which I drew and painted a lot, but those things that most excited me were skating, singing and dancing.

It sounds really basic, I don't know anyone who doesn't enjoy singing or dancing, but I have the idea that they are so liberating activities that, if they were not common, it would be strange. I remember that at school I stayed two days a week at the female choir of my high school, and they even gave me a solo. I don't think I was good, in fact, it was only a small school in a small city and also free, but it seemed super to my past self.

Other of my favorite activities was dancing, as well as my other pastimes such as singing and skating, I had days where I dedicated myself to them, on weekends I danced with a small group of girls that I met in the city and on Thursdays with a old group of the basic (folklore dance and k-pop, I'm not very proud of the last, but I love it), and about skating, I did that almost every day, but because it was dangerous,they wouldn't let me go out alone, so I always dragged my sister and she sweated with me.

Currently I don't do anything that I really enjoy (because time) but at least from time to time I see videos of people who do them (I don't want to cry, I'm fine). I know I can do everything I want when I get organized, the problem is that it has taken me more than a year.

A photograph and its story

A photograph and its story

Ohh, hi! They are some of the best people I know. My friends and my loves. I think any photograph where they appear could be worth talking about. All of them are important.

When this picture was taken we were doing the same of everyday: Little talks I mean, your problems, my problems. We laugh for stupid things and many times we don't understand what speack  the other. In that day, we joined force for to out of home and smoke a while (in home they don't allow us smoke) and we walked arround the block. At present we walk arround the block a few times, but in the moment when this picture was take it was the first time we did it. The tradition has mutated a bit since then, jeje.

I think... for me this picture portray all of moments we live together and the suport what we give to the other alway. I love this girls, they are my family. And... Idk, I hope to have them around me all my life
byess.

My favorite Piece of Technology

Hi! Since I was a little girl, I've been used to wearing headphones all day and all night. It's more than an obsession to me. I love this device, and you know why? I was a sad girl, hehe! -joke (maybe). I listen to music all the time because it makes me feel happy and alive. It helps me to start my day and get motivated. I don't like silence. I love to dance and sing more than anything in the whole world.

(If I could have an mp4 or mp3 again, OH! I WOULD TAKE CARE OF THEM LIKE GOLD)

Despite how much I need to have headphones in my life, I'm very careless with them. I usually lose them, break them, or wet them in the washing machine. But... in that way I demostrate my love for them, and in this way I don't get bored whit the monotony of a single hearphones.

I don't use headphone to ignore people, but rather to excuse my deafness. Furthermore, the transportation is a perfect panorama for reflect on your life or your problems or just ramble, and with music is greater. I reiterate I'm not a sad girl, I only enjoy my own company, and the music is my environmental curtain.

You know what are the problem? I get bored of my music, not because I don't like it, but rather because I can't bear with the monotony, and I need to find new music. Sometimes I just listen to the radio to get out of the monotony.

(God, I have a problem).

But, it's okay, I've kept myself alive.

Presentation

Ok... Hi, my name is Gisella, but my friends (and i) call me Giss. I usually turn years every year, so that I am nineteen years old. I was born in Chañaral, a little port that nobary knows. I live first years in differents northern cities, until I finally stay in Iquique ''tierra de campeones''.

Actually i live in Santiago-Chile, i'm not sure yet if i love this city, but I admit that I am intrigued because i never felt so free as here, I can be like I really am and i love it, jiji. 

Why I move to Stgo? Honestly, i love Iquique, but there are things in my house that I still do not want to understand (or accept), so I moved. BUT, the reason original is my vocation, i'm studying journalism at the Universidad de Chile and though it does not seems, I love my career.

I HAVE TWO PRETTY KITTENS, which I love very much. Both of them were they were rescued from the street, they still do not know they are adopted, but since they were little i have taught them that is not necessary have blood to be family. Even so, do not tell them.

I'm gemenis, is that necessary? I love the horoscope since I was a child, so I think it can be something that describes me jiji. I dont know, when I was a little girl I used to ask every new person who knew what zodiacal sign were and I also used to guess, I was very weird.

but I like it that way.

I don't speak english, but i know say ''Weona, how brutal '' to the perfection.

Test me, trash
