Albino orangutan

An animal organisation rescued a rare albino orangutan from the jungle in Indonesia. A veterinarian said that she was in very bad condition and sick when people rescued her. She was very stressed, had skin and hair problems, and suffered from dehydration. The Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation, which found her, is asking the public to suggest names for the animal. 

Three suns in Mongolia

A weird celestial phenomenon appeared in Mongolia, and it looked like there were three suns in the sky. The middle sun was the one we usually see every day (the real one), but the ones on each side were the sun’s smaller reflections. A local meteorological centre explained that the optical phenomenon it's called anthelion, which means that the reflection is caused by sunshine high in the sky and light passing through snow crystals in the air. An anthelion can appear when the temperature is lower than -30°C, and the air is filled with clouds, vapour and ice crystals.

Cholera in Yemen

Cholera has been found in Yemen. Around 9,000 people this desease. Yemen can't help everybody get well because it doesn't have enough resources and there is not enough room in hospitals for everyone.One billion dollars is promised to the UN (united nations) because it is asking for money. 

Tornado in Oklahoma

Last Tuesday, one person died after a tornado struck houses in Oklahoma, USA. The storm destroyed about 40 houses and damaged another 75, as well as knocked out the telephone service into and out of the city. Aid workers brought food supplies into the area for the local residents.

Gap Year

I plan on doing a gap year when I finish batxillerat. Mainly because I don’t know what to do after that and I want some time to clear my mind and make a decision. It will be a gap year of work to gain some laboral experience. I plan on working in Sephora - a make-up store - in Barcelona or Girona. I want to be a make-up artist so this job it’s not far of my goal because I’ll learn about the brands and the products. I will also do client’s make-up if they ask for it. I will lear of all of this and it will help me in future jobs. My plan is to work there during the school year, from september to june approximately. I’ll earn some money so that I can go to a make-up school later.

My future

I often think about my future and what do I want to do with it. Now more than ever we have to choose the subjects and what we want to do in school to get into university or something like that. I want to be a make up artist, I've known that since 3rd of eso when for some reason something clicked in my mind and I realised that what I am good at and what I enjoy doing it's make up, so I will persue make up as a career. But sometimes I can't avoid thinking about what if make up doesn't go well? What if I can't do make up anymore? That's the reason I am doing batxillerat, to have options and maybe go to University. If I do choose to go to university, the degrees I will be taking are a degree in history or in philosophy. The two things interest me a lot and I don't know which one I would want to know more. I haven't thought of what would I do when I finish either of the careers, I don't think I want to become a teacher so I don't know what would I do. But all of this is only my second option first of all I want to try and be a make up artist because that is the goal of my life. I adore doing make up and I could never get tired of it. I will probably want to work in a magazine doing editorial make up or in a film set in movies and shows doing characters make up.

Vegetarian update

It's been a few months since I became a vegetarian. So far I really like it and I haven't seen anything negative. Everything has been great. I have not lost any energy which was the part that most worried me because I am very little and skinny and I don't want to lose energy or get sick because of not eating meat. I honestly haven't noticed any difference in my metabolism or in my body; the only thing I've noticed has changed are my pimples because I don't get them as much as are used to. I've read it's because of meat because it has a lot of grease and that's what gave me pimples. The biggest thing I've noticed it more personal and subjective and it's that I feel more happy with myself because I don't feel as guilty as I used to feel. I am very happy with my choice and I don't think I will eat meat anymore or any time soon. I am thinking I'll probably go vegan once my body stops growing and it becomes an adult body because I'll be sure that I don't need as much protein and energy as I need now so I won't be as worried to get sick or ill.

Where do I get my inspiration from?

I often get inspired by other things than make up. I found a lot of inspiration in flowers, trees and nature. I really like nature because there are a lot of colours and colour combinations that I can use later and I know that will look good. My other big font of inspiration is other other artists. I love to see what others create. I imagine what were they thinking when they created that so I can think about similar things and create my own art. I also like to take someone's concept and make it mine changing things. Another way that I get inspired is by looking at stuff I have a already done in the past so I'll try to make it better and change things. Music inspires me a lot as well. The things I create depend on the mood I am in. If I feel very happy I probably do something very colourful and with a lot of shapes and different things. If I'm feeling more sad I'll do something more simple. Also depending on the mood I am in the music I listen it's different so it will also affect me and make me create something more colourful or something more dark.
