Skype

Skype is a great way to communicate with people around the world, friends and family. Ever since my brother graduated and move to Argentina to go to college, my mom and him are constantly communicating through Skype. With Skype you can have a video conference, or chat with the people that don't have a camera or a microphone. For me one of the best things of Skype is that you don’t have to pay to use it and talk to people all the time you want. Now you can download Skype in your self-phone and talk to friends at any time you want. Also Skype provides you to talk to more than one person at a time; you can invite friends to conversations and have video conferences with them. With Skype I’m able to talk to my best friend who lives in Europe and with my family who live in Argentina. In my opinion Skype made my social life simpler, I can talk and chat with friends that I couldn't talk to before, because calling them was too expensive, but with Skype I don’t have to worry about the minutes I have to pay for making an international call. Since my brother moved my parents have being talking with him through Skype every night to know if he is ok or if he needs something. Thats why I love Skype.

Art and Colors

I'm the type of girl who really likes drawing, and adding color to images, its fun combining colors to images. I'm not an expert at drawing people and animals, I rather drawing abstracted images and bubble letters like graffiti style. It isn't common for me to not draw, because I'm always drawing or trying to improve an old drawing I did before. Sometimes it’s hard for me to get inspired, because I try to be unique in the things a draw and try to sketch new things that haven't seen before. Maybe things I’ve seen before I try to put my touch and try to change it so it looks more like my style. I dedicate myself in wild style drawing and I try to not focus that much if it’s perfect and what colors should I combine so it looks pretty. 
Usually I get inspired while I'm drawing, normally I draw something simple and while I'm drawing I can see how I can improve it and what can I add to it so it has more detail. But I don't always get that inspired; sometimes it takes me more time to come up with a big idea that will make my drawing better and colorful. 
An advice for the people who like to draw is to don't try to copy someone's idea, because it won’t always work. Everyone has its own style, and with practice you can make it better.
