This app is great !!


If you are related with the art world,you must know "Google Arts & Culture". It´s a great app where you can serch a specific artwork in HD. From the Gallery, users can zoom in on a particular artwork to view the picture in greater detail. You can even zoom to the point where you can see the brushstroke of Seuret in "A sunday on la Grande Jatte". It's amazing!!

Also users can log in with their Google Account to create their own collection and these artworks are protected with copyright. It is really useful to assemble your artistic portfolio. 

The proyect was launched on February 1, 2011 by Google and it´s  great, I can find masterpieces in a really good quality. However, there are many artworks that are not in the app. 


Every day Google updates the app, the platform now features more than 32,000 artworks from 46 museums, and image acquisition is underway at the remaining partner museums.  Someday, perhaps, all artworks will be in the web for us. 


I love Lovecraft!!

My favorite writer is H. P. Lovecraft. He was an American writer who was born in August 20, 1890. His most famous work was "The Call of Cthulhu", which inspired the formation of the Lovecraft Circle. This group wrote horror stories about the Cthulhu mythos, all of them in the same universe of madness and cosmic monsters. 


I really like Lovecraft stories and he has many short stories too. I discovered him through my boyfriend, he really likes it and since we both love RPGs, I bought him the guide book so he could be a gamemaster. He liked the book so much that, with my friends we meet once a month and play the role game of "Call of Cthulhu", submerging ourselves in a world full of horror and despair.

I read "At the mountains of madness", when I did it I felt in constant suspense. I didn´t know what would happen next and I remember that when I finished the book I thought: What if this is real and possible? ... I was afraid to think about it. 

My hitchhiking trip

This year I went hitchhiking across Chile with two friends. We started in the north, we took a plane and flew to Arica. The initial plan was to end the trip in Punta Arenas, but one guy had to return to Santiago when we were in Temuco. However, my other friend and I continued to the south alone.

This picture was taken in Austral highway, when we climbed "Cerro Castillo". This place was really amazing and I loved it!! The trekking route was seven kilometers long and one kilometer high from start to finish.

With my friend we practiced (amateur) fast mountain descent or in other words, Running Downhill. We ran 7 kilometers in 1 hour 20 minutes!! It was great. When I was going down the mountain I felt my blood flowing through all of my body, my heart was beating very hard too. I felt a lot of adrenaline at that moment.


It was hard but it's a really beautiful place and I would like to return one day. 

My favorite series

It's hard to decide which is my favorite series, I have seen so many that choosing only one is very difficult. But, if there is something that I'm sure of, it's that my favourite series is an anime hahaha.  


But, since I can only choose one series, it must be Detective Conan. It is about an adolescent detective who turns into a child because of a drug and he looks for an organization that is dedicated to carrying out organized crime internationally.This series was released in 1996 and is still being broadcast.


When I was a child I watched it every day at night in the "etc" TV channel with my brother. Now I watch it online in my computer. I am currently waiting for a new chapter to be released.


 I following this series since I was a child. I remember that in school, I saw more than 500 episodes in a month!!!
