People collect... what to collect?

I used to think that some collectors and curators got similar jobs, i mean, like very punctual things in common...They do both select an item, object, idea... they also do a quite peculiar selection over that, like is not just collect to put everything stuffed in a wall o shelf, they are hunger to find a rare item, a treasure to preserve on their selection...
I took a class of curators, was so clarifying about the ideas, humans tend to keep and collect but what's the difference? is the intentions (on my conclusions) over it..
i went to a toy museum, but didn't look much like a museum, was more likely to be a extravagant collection of a toy enthusiast person.. i did like it a lot of toys that was so nostalgic and keep alive some childhood memoirs, i left the place feeling that i need it more information, something to learn more over the full wall stuffed with toys, souvenirs, dolls, cars and else... was a nice place to visit and may probably visit in some few years... but left it thinking about what to collect?.... what do you collect??

 

quick trip...

 so i push my luck, i took my chances, i decided not to live with fear and well i packed my stuff, take a fly and went to Cdmx... Gosh! can't tell you how i missed to travel!!! visiting places, walking around, take a cup of coffee and just going outside!!
don't get me wrong, i'm the indoorsy person but sometimes is like too much! why not to travel?! here i am now, after a short quick travel, visiting museums, parks, art galleries, walking by, eating yummy and delicious food... can't get enough! i want to go to other places now!!! 
if i have fun? hell yes! if i take care? hell yes! if i was sanitizing my hands frequently? hell yes!
pack your stuff, get a ticket to nowhere and travel! 

days out...

I wish i could go out more often... like really more often... vacations and travel is always a gooood idea! like great idea! just gonna cross my fingers and wish that... had some days off from my job so i went in a familiar trip to BCS and it was great... i had a sun tan, beer, seafood, plenty relax and great time with my family... i really need that so often... but lately i've been so busy... got two jobs, many personal projects and tons of paintings to do... so is like i guess i've got just schedule and just planning my time .... 

still, cross my fingers... i wish i could go travel more often!

Teotihuacan..

There's is a place where i used to see it so often in my Mexico's history books when i was in school.. Apparently Teotihuacan was a city near by to México city where the people over there was never found then the aztec passed near by and that was a little bit more than 900 years ago... how do they found it?! it seems like it was like a little hills located in a very specific areas and archeologists from around the world help our local archeologists to rebuilt them...
My brother gave me this little treat to visit this pyramids that i used to see only in my school books, so we walked a lot, we climb stairs to the moon pyramid (the Sun's pyramid was so over crowded) under a nice warm sun...
My fav pyramid was the Quetzalcoatl, with the big sculptures near to the stairs (you can't climb over there but i took some photos near by) so you can see the little details like sea shells, corn and spirals graved on the stone...
So is a must to, if you go to México city, you wont regret it, trust me!

beauty is everywhere... in Etsy!

Love this season of the year, is summer, here is our little indian summer, so rainy, so fresh and even when is humid and my hair can't stand it, i really don't care...
Lately i started to find a bliss wearing dresses and skirts, the tomboyish in me can hold it... for some reason, i've got a tendency to wear more "feminine" outfits and also i've been looking forward for more, why? i don't know! i guess is more that i just want to try something new and wear clothes that are kinda forgotten in my closet...
Anyway, for this reason i've been drooling over dresses and shoes around Etsy, i really can't help it... so this is what i found lately there...
i'll take you there

holidays....

i could lie if i told you that i can't remember when was the last time that i went to Isla Mujeres... but actually i do remember, it was just sibling trip, hanging out in the beach and we had a very badly sun burn here, the town was so changed since that last time... so i went back with my family and kiddos, to spend some days there, and well yes, nothing was the same but the beach and the waves was pretty the same... a wonderful nature! weather was perfect, everyday we were checking weather news and although it could be rainy and cloudy but it wasn't at all..
My nephews and nieces are bigger and gorgeous and well, what can i say about that... is just life! i would love to go back, i would love to travel more often and have this great time, forget all my problems and living life like that.... i just wish that...
