I dealt with an earthquake for the first time

Sammy hiking at Cerro Gordo, Vega Alta, PR

Hello, everyone, it has been nine days and apparently I can't cancel 2020.

I don't know where to start to be honest. As some of you know I've been tweeting for the past few weeks about feeling the earth moving but on January 7, 2020, after the three wise king days, we been hit a 6.6 magnitude around 4:30 am. 

I remember that my two dogs woke me up crying and I instantly knew something wasn't right and before I could even check what going on the power went out and everything started shaking. I don't know if I screamed but I do remember I kick my dog Sammy (who is a senior golden retriever)out of my bed so we could reach to the safety but I felt like those cartoon where they try to get up but they keep falling down after I managed to reach my door from my bedroom so we could get into the safety area everything stop. I was panicking I open my cat bedroom I was scared that he got hurt and thankfully he was okay. So I went to my patio and immediately fill two buckets of waters for my dogs plus a giant water bowl for my cat my neighbor from the second floor called me from her balcony to see if we were alright after we all went outside scared because we dealt small earthquake no more than some 4.1 magnitudes. 

We all dint sleep, our anxiety was on the sky roof. We were in our Maria mode we dealt with Hurricane Irma an

d Maria (2017) so having no electricity and water for months wasn't news for us. 
(We're still recovering from Hurricane Maria. FEMA plus Trump administration and the local government aren't doing a great job.)

My mom texted me to come to her apartment since she has a barbecue so I could eat some breakfast. I gave my mom dog a small walk so he could do his business he only went to pee outside quickly and dint even dare to stay far away from his apartment so I decided to trust his instinct and we went inside. Later on, I was talking to my mom. I don't remember the conversation but out of nowhere we had a replica of the earthquake I almost lost my balance and I immediately went under the table from the family room. I was under the table with her dog my mom was too shook to move to the point she asked me if it was an earthquake... I won't forget the 7:15 am from the horrible sound of the door banging as if someone trying to break the door and her neighbor screaming. It was like those Hollywood movies where everything is in slow motion but at the same time, everything went too fast.  

That day no one sleeps every several minutes to hours we got a replica of the earthquake and the next day I decided to drive with her dog and let just say when you are driving and the earth started to shake you won't feel like but you will feel as if you were in a boat going left and right. It's not the first time I dealt with an earthquake while inside of a car. I remember back in December 24, 2010, my mom ex-husband was driving and it felt we were in a boat so luckily I learned what to do and that reduces your speeding, turn on the intermittent, identify your area where you can stop and make sure there is no cables or trees (that is also including bridges and tunnels) after you stop stay inside the car and make sure that your area is okay to keep going with precaution. 

Having this experience is horrible with my PTSD of Hurricane Maria but I'm thankful that I manage to stay calm the whole thing and I'm more prepared in case of another Earthquake. 

Here are some tips on what can you in case of a natural disaster.

- Power will be out and so is the communication. Text messages are better than calling someone.
- Always store water bottle for drinking, cleaning, and for bathing
- Stored canned and dry food that can last you at least for 12 weeks including your pet's food.
- Always have a copy plus original paper of your birth certificate, passport, social security number, your pet document (including a recent photo of them), and any other important document.
-If you have any pets make sure they are microchip (unless in your state or country doesn't work) always have a tag with the info of your pets name and your phone number and your veterinary 

Reasons on why you should bring your own reusable bottle

Reusable cups

Hey, everyone, 2020 is almost here! Anyone is excited? I'm. As many of us always do some New Year resolution. To start off 2019 made me more an environmental conscious. I still don't live in the zero waste style but I'm making less waste on plastics. Here is the reason why you should use your own reusable bottle and coffee cups!

1.) Reduce plastic waste

Plastic harms the environment. That is a no brainer and not many plastic bottles go to the recycling plant due to the bottle is contaminated, the recycling doesn't work, or there isn't one in your area. The best thing you can do is invest a Britta and a good bottle where it can keep both of your drinks hot and cold.

2.) It saves you money

I'm all for saving money like I don't have to explain much about saving money I think we all do. Depends on where you are buying your coffee you can save 10 cents to a dollar or so. It depends on the coffee shop you're going to.

3.) It saves resources 

Most of the time the carboard coffee has very thin plastic materials where it cannot be recycled plus it can take up to 30 years for the coffee cup to decompose. Sure most will be alive but let face it. It's not cute making a lot of trash and it takes years to decompose.
Small fun fact: aside from that the coffee cup can not be recycled and turn into a coffee cup again due to the health regulation.

4.) Your drink will last longer whether is cold or hot.

It can be a really hot day and it very likely that your reusable water bottle is cold or you just order some hot tea a few hours ago and it still warm. We all like to keep our drinks hot or cold so by using a nice reusable coffee cup or bottle it one of the best things that can keep the drink fresh.

My cat Lazarus being curious as always

My artwork was vandelized

Mannequins with canvas, mirror, and oil paint
Hello, everyone, sorry I have been absent I was working on a big project but unfortunately it was destroyed by someone that I know.          
Now a small disclaimer I will not be mentioning that person name but I felt like talking about this type of subject when someone destroyed someone's work.

There is art that we say looks breathtaking but there are arts that make us feel negative emotion like anger and that is okay that the point of art-making us feel the emotion.

One of the reasons why one of my art projects was destroyed it's because I was using sexism word like "pendeja", pendeja mean calling someone stupid, moron, negligible, and so on...It is not an okay word, in fact, I believe we need to stop using that word is pointless calling someone pendeja... The reason I chose that word it's because all my life I had been called a pendeja and trust me I do not like being called a pendeja and I'm sure many of us don't like to be called like that.
Adding a little bit more too domestic violence had skyrocket on this last few years many women are getting rape and murder and yet they call us a pendeja.
The mirror is a metaphor when you bad talk to someone you are reflecting yourself and that is who you are it's an insecurity that you may have whenever you talk someone badly.

Now I added a personal message from my father that used to compare me against my older brother. I never had the best father role model I just had to deal with it so I was always compared by one of my siblings if not my cousin. My parents never had the best co-parenting plus they always fought so my father used to tell me that my mom is a puta. Puta means whore basically and I always got angry whenever he bad talk against my mom. I stop talking to my dad right before I graduated from high school and oh boy that whole another story I may write that on my next blog post.
The red hand mark is meant to be a wound that no matter the time pass thru the wound will always be there it may heal but the scar will be the reminder of the sexism from my childhood till the present. This artwork has a lot of personal message things that I can just say that it will hunt me but does not mean that I will stop making this controversial artwork so yes I will be making my controversial work and I will keep pushing the boundaries. You can interpretative my work in any way, you want and that totally cool I love hearing people's points of view.

The reason why that person got angry at my work is that that person felt uncomfortable and got angry to the point they did not know how to manage on dealing with that anger. Sure the motive is not okay all I can say I forgive that person and I just wish that person would sit down with me and talk to me on why. I know being a female Latina and dealing with the never-ending sexism sucks a lot but I do have hope that we can stop fighting and just unite against the patriarchy.

My content is good

In this age of social media we all want to have thousands of Instagram followers, a lot of PR packages and getting pay by uploading a post and reviewing products but what is the cost of lies? We all have some of our favorite Instagram models and YouTubers showing us their lavish lifestyle, influencing us on to buy this and that and to look a certain way and I'm not gonna lie I'm also influenced by many people I think we all do in a certain way.

But is it worth it? According to Business Insider, it is estimated that by 2022 the influencer marketing that many brands will be spending up to $15 billion on this industry. Sounds pretty cool, right? Well for me sounds interesting and I wish I was an influencer but I'm not willing to promote diet stuff. Now, I feel I'm getting a bit out of the track from here. So let me try and go back from what I'm saying.
When it comes to Influencers it's usually some super skinny good looking model promoting every single little thing from diet stuff, whitening your teeth, clothing, makeup and so on. Without many consequences but how bad they're influencing us if not the younger audience who are hitting their puberty? They have this privilege (at least my local Influencers are pretty much some Guaynabicha but that a whole another story) where they don't have to deal on working some full-time job or part-time earning $7.25
and being exploited. but all I have to say is that my content is good sure I don't really have millions of followers and ironically I'm a starving artist (no pun intended my fridge is pretty much empty but I'm surviving by eating greek yogurt and drinking oolong tea).

I'm assuming that some of you are asking "but Michelle aren't you rambling?" Well, I'm kinda am. I'm surviving because of freelance art commissions, sponsor post that you see on my blog, scholarship, and working as personal assistance on a company which I will not be naming but everything is something that I can not be described but in the end, it's worth it. I've read many posts from many small bloggers and their contents are good if not it's AMAZING but I do wish that some of them don't give up on blogging. It's a pressure of earning traffics and wishing on getting pay by writing even just for $20. All I can say my content is good because I do pour my time, my creativity, and my energy there is a time where I just feel burned out or simply I'm with many deadlines but I will always come back and who knows maybe someday my blog will be a hit and I can finally get myself the Christian Louboutin heels that I'm always dreaming and not caring how uncomfortable they're but at least I do get a side of commission so I can pay my Spotify account which is essential everyone knows I dislike commercials but hey, I don't know what you think about your blog and I do hope it's something positive and always say to yourself "my content is good" because hey being a blogger is not easy and we both know that so always love your blog because it's your baby and if there is something you don't like then change it think about in a Sims way which is the worst way to explain but you know what I mean. My content is good and I may not be a super hot skinny Instagram model but I do know is that thanks to my blog I got to meet many lovely bloggers and opportunity.
