I'm starting to add more pictures! Drawing and writing are a great combo for memorizing.

Side note:

My teacher gave me a slide show presentation today, which is 29 slides long. It's due on the 14th of February... I only have 11 days. Tomorrow, I'll be down to ten. Wish me luck 🙏

My favorite subject in school was history. A lot has changed & still will. 🧳summer ☀️ vibes

[ifindus]

what do you think mexico looks like? I don't think mexico has a official design, but I could be wrong🧐 also I heard mexico is starting to become a popular holiday spot for norwegians, not as popular as spain or denmark tho

It's been a while since I drew Mexico, and I don't really have a very solid grasp on the character, but I always Mexico a lot. Had a phase when I was younger where I was obsessed with the Aztecs, but there is only so much information you can get as a 8 year old without internet, only relying on the few picture books of the local library in a remote town in rural Norway 😞 Got a Mexican friend while studying abroad years later tho! Got to admit my design is based a lot on her and the media I've consumed while I was younger 😅

I don't think Mexico has become the most popular holy destination for Norwegians, because it's expensive to get there, but I can understand if it has become more popular lately! ✨

I genuinely think a lot of Latines in LatAm have this stereotyped version of Latines born outside LatAm in their heads that they just assume we must ALL have the exact same experiences (aka didn't grow up speaking spanish so lets ridicule that very sad forced assimilation, being like 2-3+ generations removed from an immigrant ancestor, being disconnected from their individual Latine cultures, not knowing LatAm's histories of colonialism and US imperialism, basically being "yankee-fied") and tbh even IF some or even a large part of us fit that, why the fuck would you deny us community? Like how is that remotely helpful? Especially to those of us who aren't white latines, that have to deal with racism in our respective communities outside LatAm?

De Creativo a UXer Renovado: Mi Experiencia con EBAC

A veces, la mejor decisión que puedes tomar es comenzar desde cero. Aunque duela y cueste aceptarlo, el tiempo avanza, y con él, las oportunidades se te van. Eso fue lo que me dije antes de meterme a estudiar UX en la universidad en línea de EBAC. La verdad, nunca pensé que un curso online pudiera volver a encender mi chispa creativa, y si, lo hizo muy bien.

“A Tu Ritmo” No Es Solo Una Frase, Es Real

Lo primero que me atrapó fue el formato “a tu ritmo” que EBAC ofrece. Soy de esas personas que no pueden estar quietas, que siempre quieren ir al siguiente proyecto. Así que tener clases que se ajustan a mi estilo de vida fue un alivio. Alfonso y Alejandra, los profes,  lo logran muy bien. Sus clases son dinámicas, claras, bonitas, coloridas  y sobre todo prácticas. Te explican con una metodología tan sencilla que hasta disfrutas el proceso. ¡Y lo mejor! Todo lo que ves lo puedes aplicar desde el día uno.

Cada módulo está diseñado para que no te ahogues en teoría pesada. Es como si te dijeran: “Ey, calma, vamos paso a paso y tú decides el ritmo”. Todo fue fluido, y me daba gusto ver que cada actividad me dejaba algo concreto.

Creatividad y Realidad: El Eterno Dilema

I

magina que estás en plena transición entre el arte utilitario, la publicidad, diseño grafico y el mundo de las bienes raíces.

Eso me pasó a mí, y en ese proceso, tuve la oportunidad de comercializar obras de artistas plásticos jaliscienses y conocer gente super cool.

Formé mi propio colectivo, hicimos gestión cultural, y después trabaje en una galería de arte , donde fungía como capitán de subasta, vendedor , relaciones públicas y organizador de eventos

Recuperamos plazoletas, calles, avenidas.

TODO EN PRO DEL -ARTE -LA CULTURA Y LA CIUDADANIA

:D Esa etapa fue increíble porque me permitió no solo nutrirme de la cultura artística de Guadalajara mi ciudad, sino que también me preparó para lo que vendría.

Y, aunque estaba haciendo ruido en el mundo del arte y trabajando con el gobierno , me di cuenta de que algo faltaba: esa chispa de visibilidad. Sin embargo, el destino me tenía una sorpresa.

WEST POINT: Mi otro mundo

Años después, cuando comencé a vender departamentos, tuve la oportunidad de organizar una de las subastas más cool y hermosas (organice esa subasta por que se nos pidió incrementar las ventas con un evento)  entonces MI YO creativo entra en acción con MI YO GODÍN e hicimos  una de las mejores subastas que se han realizado en México. ¡Sí, en serio! En esa subasta, se vendió una obra de José Clemente Orozco, y el gran Memo Martínez fundador de MM casa de subasta de México  y conductor de Shark Tank  fue el martillero. La adrenalina y la emoción de esa experiencia fueron inolvidables, pero incluso en esos momentos brillantes, sentía que había algo más por explorar.

De Creativo Revolucionario a Godín (Y De Regreso)

Ser creativo estaba padre, pero había que pagar las cuentas. Así que me volví un godín. Estaba trabajando en ventas de bienes raíces, organizando subastas de arte en mi oficina donde quería hacer todo cool pero me poníanfrenos por que ahí "había que vender "nada mas y  me di cuenta de que estaba perdiendo ese lado creativo que tanto me gustaba. Y justo cuando estaba más atrapado en el mundo corporativo, apareció EBAC.

EBAC: Mi Revancha Creativa

Con EBAC, fue como volver a encender el motor que había dejado en pausa. Su sistema flexible me dio la oportunidad de aprender lo que quería, a mi ritmo, y lo mejor de todo, me ayudó a estructurar lo que llevaba años haciendo por instinto. Las actividades son divertidas , pero siempre con un propósito claro: hacerte crecer. Y lo logran.

Ahora, con este curso de UX, veo un panorama mucho más amplio para mi futuro. Me interesa el diseño de interacción, el UX writing, y quién sabe, tal vez hasta termine creando experiencias digitales para usuarios. Pero lo que sé con certeza es que nunca dejaré de aprender, porque en este mundo todo cambia tan rápido que si te duermes, pierdes.

Así que, si estás leyendo esto y sientes que estás en ese punto donde todo te pesa, donde parece que ya nada te motiva, te lo digo claro: no te rindas. No postergues, no pienses demasiado en lo que puedes o no puedes hacer. ¡Hazlo! Porque al final, la única manera de no quedarte atrás es seguir evolucionando. EBAC me enseñó que siempre hay una nueva oportunidad para crecer, y esa lección es lo que quiero compartir con todos ustedes.

In which my throat is sore and my brain is melted

I saw a post earlier about how Taylor Swift’s boyfriend won a trophy at the Usher concert, and I gotta admit: I LOLed. Quite a bit. Today at work I talked for roughly seven straight hours, and in accordance with prophecy I am tired as hell. Tomorrow’s highlights will include three new students, all in the same class, all directly from Mexico, and two of them are twins. I already can’t remember…

I do a thing when I watch movies or shows in a different language where my brain thinks it can automatically translate dialogue but it can’t and I have to rewind.

Where Have you Been?

This is inspired by this post.

Billy was having a rough day. Scratch that. A rough couple of months. Recently, he’s been… losing himself? He doesn’t know how to put it into words. It’s just that more he’s Marvel, the more he forgets about being Billy. In all honesty, it’s scaring him. What’s even worse is that, no matter what others think, he isn’t in control anymore, and Billy knows it. One moment, he’ll just be Billy Batson and then the next he’ll be Marvel with no recollection of even saying the word. Billy truly wished he hadn’t noticed the gaps in his memory getting bigger.

Speaking of memory gaps, Billy had a pretty big one to fill considering all he did was go to bed, and was then greeted with the misfortune of waking up on a random beach with the lower half of his body slightly wet from the tide. All he knows is that he’s not near Fawcett, let alone Iowa, because last he checked, it was a landlocked state. So, he got up, and decided to go find out where he was.

Billy: *wandering around while shaking any sand off himself, eventually spotting a flag* “Oh! I’m in… I still have no idea.”

Glasses Lady: *approaches him* “Por que você não está na escola?” (Translation: Why aren’t you in school?)

Billy: *frog blinks* “Huh?”

Billy was… pretty sure that was Spanish. So he’s probably still on earth. Maybe. After a little bit of back-and-forth, the Glasses Lady finally realized he couldn’t understand what Billy was only half sure was Spanish. In the end, she just started taking him around to find somebody who could speak English.

Glasses Lady: “¿Você fala inglês? Acho que este é o filho de um turista.” (Translation: Do you speak English? I think this is a tourist's son.)

Old Granny: “Não. Pobre garoto.” *leans down to pinch his cheek* (Translation: “No. Poor boy.)

Billy: *confused as to why this random old lady is pinching his cheek*

Eventually, after a while, they did find somebody who could speak English.

Billy: “Do you know where I am, miss?”

College Student: “You’re in Brazil.”

Billy: “Brazil??” *sounds super concerned* “Isn’t that in South America? I think?”

College Student: “It is. How did you even get here? Are you on vacation?”

Billy: “No? I just woke up here.” *wondering how he’s gonna explain this to Rosa*

College Student: “What?” *also now concerned because she thinks this child might’ve been a victim of trafficking*

Billy: “Uhm… you have like a map that you can show me?”

College Student: “I don’t think a map will help you, bud.”

Billy: *shrugs* “Theres always the chance it could, miss.”

College Student: “I guess?” *pulls up google maps*

Billy: *zooms out so he can just see the countries* “Oh okay. So not that far away.”

College Student: “You’re plenty far away what are you talking about? Also, why’re you sandy?” *wipes off some sand her phone*

Billy: *ignores both questions* “Do you know which way is north?”

College Student: “Uh… it should be that way.” *points in the direction*

Billy: “Oh thank you!” * is about to runoff, but looks back at the Glasses Lady* “And gracias?” *looks to the College Student* “That how you say it right?”

College Student: “No, that’s Spanish.” *shakes head* “It’s supposed to be obrigado.” (Translation: Thank you.)

Billy: “Oh, obrigado!” *definitely butchered the pronunciation and runs off to he north*

College Student: “Wait, come back!”

As soon as Billy was out of sight, he shazamed and flew in the direction she pointed in. Now, the boy wouldn’t admit this, but he actually flew slower than normal. He didn’t wanna think about the future confrontation with Rosa, not to mention his other family members. Was he prolonging the inevitable? Yes. Did he feel guilty? Also, yes. Did that mean he was gonna speed up though? …No.

Billy was just passing over Mexico when his JL comm started going off like crazy.

Marvel: *answers his comm*

Batman: “Marvel. Watchtower. Now.”

Marvel: “Huh? Why did I do something wrong?”

Batman: “You went AWOL for three weeks, and then the first sign we find that you’re alive is a video of you partying at a Mardi Gras parade in Brazil. I really wonder what you did wrong.”

Billy was straight speechless for a solid minute. Three weeks? Three weeks? The memory gap was way bigger than he thought.

Marvel: *trying to find words* “I- I’m gonna be honest I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

He honestly felt like crying. Genuine, ugly, crying. Because now he knows it’s gotten to a point where he can’t shrug this off anymore. He could do one day. He could do two days. He’s even gone a week before. But three weeks? That’s nearly a month and he doesn’t remember anything. Billy was now being forced to acknowledged how big of a problem this was.

By now, he had stopped, still floating in mid air.

Batman: “Is that you confirming you were too intoxicated to reach out to us or-”

Marvel: “Mr. Batman Sir, I really can’t talk right now.” *can feel himself starting to hyperventilate* “I’ll come by later. I promise.”

Batman: “No, not later. Immediately. We all want a word with you.”

Marvel: *grimaces* “I’m sorry. I just really can’t right now. I’m really sorry.” *hangs up*

Billy just started hyperventilating after that. His chest felt tight, his world felt like it was one the brink of crashing down. He needed to go see the wizard. He needed help. The wizard could definitely help. So, he went to the rock.

Wizard: *sounds solemn* “I’m sorry, Billy.”

That was literally all the old man told him before he started talking about how the gods were starting to exert more of their influence on him. And he basically had no say, say in some of the things he would start to do from now on. Just when Billy’s life couldn’t get harder. Please, Gods, give him a break.
