Did You Painting in México? (Chapter 1) 2015

Yeah. of corse I did it. 

As Painter (oh my God, how pride am I. Sorry) I should to painting something, wherever I stay. 

well, I brought all my painting stuff to México. Okay, not all but my painting thing like aquarell pencil, soft pastel, brush, and others. without something like oil color and stuff because hey.. everybody knows that it prohibited in the airport. i don't why but i think it so weird but yah that's a rules.

I was traumatized by the incident my oil paint seized at the airport by officers. ahhggrr..

Okay, so I really really love to paint and I feel bore if I do not.

So, Here we will start.

• Title : The dashing boy.

So, I did my first painting in México, I don't remember the date, really.

I painted someone that I think so familiar in the world. He was an actor in movie that called "The Fault In Our Star" or "Hunger Games". yah, you right, the one and only... Ansel Elgort

note: this photo I had never publication before.

I didn't have a reason why i want to paint him. Clearly, I just wanted to hone my skills. I completed that painting like only about a couple weeks. yah, it was really enjoy, seriously.

And when August 2015 it comlpletly done at all. by the way, It used aquarell pencil color. actually, I've been along time not use that thing and when i use it again, oh i feel in love again with that stuff.

• Title : Smile From Colombiana

how did you think, when you were given something from someone new?

yeah, I know, you must be happy.

and it was the reason why I painted that painting. Just because, i wanted to make someone happy.

The woman in this painting named Blanca. She was an exchange volunteer from Colombia to México. She was really kindly for me. She taught me about how to speak well in spanish. Over all, She has a good personality.

Although, I meet her just for few days, but she taught me all things. 

I learned from her, how to be a friendly girl and easly to smiles for anyone.

With my painting, I said thanks to her.

Anyway, I just need a few hours to make it complete. 'Cause I did't have much time, then. and she had to go home at that time.

So, I made it in a bus. Oh, damn. it was just really hard. but.. I did it yah.. more less so good.

it used pencil on the paper. and it completed in October 2015.

• Tittle : Why should Justin?

I think, it was a best tittle for this painting. 'cause I had no interest at all to paint this one. but, sombody kind make me wanted to paint this. She had kindly and her family too for me.

And the reason was because she really liked the character that one. Just it.

And yah, Thanks God because I can tottaly finished it. hufftt..

• Tittle : Half of me was selfie.

So, for this one, I got a request from my third sister. she took a photo (rather be selfie) and send me a photos. then said " Papa said that you should paint this photo and send to your Instagram". and I think, why you should said 'Papa Said'. Oh Damn haha..

But, it's okay cause it good photos too, girl.

And what do you think about this?

• Title : Sister From Another Mother

Hmm.. for this momment. I just wanted to give my new Host sister during my exchange year a gift but I didn't know. But hey.. What about painting?

So, I got an Idea to Paint this one. just for give some welcoming present to my new host sister. but I never ever meet her before. So I was a little stealing her photo from her facebook account. (hohoho.. perdon a mí)

So Glad, you Liked it.

I complated this painting like for a couple weeks. and finished in December 24th 2015. Actually, came home in that date. Yah I really happy to know her although just for little time.

Because she has to come back to her work in Léon, Guanajuato.

But at least, She really liked my painting at all.

It used Pastel on Paper and I did't remember that size. so sorry.

so that was my work, as long as I stayed in México in 2015.

And what about the next?

who knows.

How to reach it at all ( as an AFS student exchange)

My lucky life in México

It was so along way to get this opurtunity.
so much faith, I think. never I thought that I can be the one of much Exchanges students in the world.
a Little girl like me able to have an experience like this that not everybody can get it.
oh yeah, I forgot to tell. I am one luckiest child in this world because have experience as an AFS Exchange Student.
For your info, AFS Intercultural Programs is an international youth exchange organization.

Okay, in Indonesia they called it Bina Antarbudaya
I've dream about life in other country and feel like wanderlust.  yah. I know, it just daydreaming of Little girl in backyard like me. but, hey I realized that nobody knows the future.

But, I will tell about how I got this chance. I did't really remember the date but, first i got this information from my seniors that an exchanges students too.
FYI : to be an exhanges students in Indonesia, you have to pass the test. and it so along test.

okay, back to my story.
According to my viewpoint, they are really cool and lucky. i think i can't be them. NEVER.
'cause, look at me. who am I?
I'm not rich like they are,
I'm not perfect, and
I never ever be lucky like them.

the answer was, yeah you can't. but you can try.

until a sentence stuck in my brain. "well, you think that you can pass the test? how arrogant of you. Just join the the test and you can judge you self. you can't or not." said one of my senior.

wow. how ostentatious I am. that was make me relize that only God can judge, though you condemn yourself.
and. I chose to join that test in Bina Antarbudaya Chapter Medan

really, I just  felt like nothing to lose at all.
how fool I am, I came late to my first test. (please, don't follow my attitude) because I think to my self.
-hey, why should you join this test, if you will surely lose?- said voice arround my head.
but, I don't know. I did.
I did as well as i can.

and the next week was announce of the result. and guess
I passed the test.

On the next test, I did it as good as possible and very earnestly.
a unique moment occurred during the interview test. I guess I did not prepare anything for the personality interview. because I well remembered my daddy said that " just be calm during the interview later,'cause what would you answer must relate to what you're doing all this time"

and when a friend asked me about what I've learn. i just said, my self and end.
and very lucky I am, again and again I passed the test.

and so on. coincidence in the group dynamic test, I and friends got a case that  highly correlated with that I liked and that I can that describe the poster about the environment.
and God allowed me to finish well.

and again God let me to be a AFS participant of national, which means I have to struggle and endure even harder to get a placement.
that when I learned. what you want, not always what you need. and God knows what you need the most.
and also, what is best for the God most definitely best for you. (you'll understand if you know me well)

Honestly, if not the ability that God has bestowed to me (to paint) I don't know what all this could continue. and also because the great helped all of volunteers in chapter medan.
and also some incredible parties.

and the final result was "Meutia(Oh great it's me)-AFS México, Desy-AFS Latvia, Yustika-AFS Switzerland, Nisa-AFS Italy, Ryan-AFS China, Sekar-AFS Hungary, Dani-AFS USA, Dzikra-YES USA, Rama-YES USA, Ulfah-YES USA, Bimo-YES USA"
and it called Cutey Lovely. I love you guys.
