Xime's Journey Through The Marvelous World of English

POST 5: MY FUTURE JOB I’m considering to work as a children’s book illustrator at a publishing house, I’m not 100% sure, but I’d also love to make personalized toys for children. It is my dream job to make handmade colorful toys.   It would probably be indoors, I don’t enjoy being outside and working that way could affect my performance at my future job.   If I were given the opportunity I would love to travel a lot and do different studies about my area of knowledge. I think Japan is the place I would love to visit for working matters, I love Japanese children’s books, they stand out from what we have here in the West.   I’m torn between working for a big toys company or doing freelance jobs, both have pros and cons, so time and experience will tell me which one is the best option for my needs and capabilities.   I’m nervous just thinking about majoring in something…I think I would take a major in editorial design in addition to my graphic design career as a plus, I...

POST 4: WILD ANIMALS AND PETS   I consider myself an animal lover, I’ve loved animals since I was a little girl. I used to have two stray dogs back when I was younger (they are not here on Earth anymore). Now I have a beautiful cow-cat (it is white with a few black spots on its back and its tail), it is a male and its name is Merlin, Merlin is so funny and lovely, he loves food and he also enjoys when I kiss his belly (that’s really unusual for cats to let people give them kisses on that area).   I don’t think it’s right to keep wild animals in a zoo, I can’t stand it, it makes me really mad, they do not exist for our entertainment. Behind that fake “entertainment” there’s animal abuse and exploitation, if an animal that doesn’t belong in a specific area is relocated into another area where they do not have the environmental conditions to survive, it will suffer from its consequences and we are 100% responsible for that.   A dog bit me when I was 5 years old, funny thing ...

POST 3: MY CHILDHOOD DAYS The one thing that really makes me go back in time to those beautiful and innocent days is the smell of a certain type of flower that grows in my mom's garden, that flower is known as "Fresia", the scent is soft and sweet, just like what my life used to be like back then. My most favourite childhood memory goes back to when I used to play Playstation 1 games, my favourite game was "Spyro", it's an open-world game about a young purple dragon that goes on multiple adventures defeating enemies and collecting gems. Those are some really valuable moments for me that I would love to recreate now but I sold my console and it makes me so sad that I can't enjoy that game just one last time :( My favourite activities outside school weren't much different from what I do now, I didn't have so many friends at school so I was alone most of the time and I loved spending time drawing a lot, specially at home while I watched cartoons tha...

  POST 2: THE BEST HOLIDAYS I'VE HAD A warm experience through a really cold place! Almost 3 years ago I went to Puerto Natales, it was one of my favorite Holiday trips ever, I stayed there for 11 days with my mom and sister.    The first place we visited there was Torres del Paine and I can’t describe how incredible that experience was for me, spiritually and mentally. I was flabbergasted with such beauty and I’ll absolutely visit them again. Here are some beautiful pictures I took: Torres del Paine in different angles We also took long walks through the city of Puerto Natales and Punta Arenas and of course we ate a lot of pizza there (something that I found funny was that pizzas in the south of Chile are one hundred percent made of cheese and I’m a cheese enthusiast, so I was definitely happy haha)   Another trip I absolutely enjoyed when I went to Puerto Natales was going to Tierra del Fuego, unforgettable…I would love to live there when I get older. Estrecho de M...

A COUNTRY I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW   HELLO JAPAN!   One of my dreams is to visit Japan, I’ve been really interested in Japanese culture for a long time and everyday I’m closer to fulfill this childhood dream.   I have close friends that visited this country and I’ve been recollecting data from their experiences. They’ve told me that it’s pretty difficult as a foreigner to maintain a fluid conversation with Japanese people, they recommended me to search images on Google of the places in Japan that I would like to visit so I can ask for directions on where to go.   I also know a whole lot of Japanese people's love for “kawaii” or cute stuff, such as anime and the famous international sensation: Hello Kitty.   According to what I mentioned before, the first thing I would do there is to buy a ticket to go to “Sanrio Puroland”  a Japanese theme park also known as  “Hello Kitty Land” . My goal is to save as much money as I can to buy Hello Kitty merchandise for ...
