Personal Culture

How have either a sport, hobby, or music shaped your own personal culture? Give details to support your ideas.






Well, as my blog's name, I'm a music lover, and I specially love Classical Music. I consider Music is my personal culture since before I was born. Everything about it excites me.
Sometimes, I cannot believe how inside I am in the music. I live and breath it from the pores of my skin and I love all related to it, listen to it, enjoy it, feel it, sing and play it, understand it. Music is like my lifetime friend and love. 




Also, I like to paint, dance and design clothes. I dedicate almost all the time doing  things related to arts and it's really pleasant to do what you love everyday.

We musicians, tend to have conversations about music and make jokes about certain pieces, composers or about our daily life as musicians :) we have our own slang. 
And it's common to find very strange people studying music; we consider (or at least myself) that we are like people from another planet, I mean, we have another different way to see and perceive the world. Music make us insane, but we love it. 

I love it all about Music!

Economic empowerment for women

I was reading 3 profiles about Costeñas through Kiva, a microfinancing organization that lends money to people around the world. http://www.kiva.org/about/how


I analysed the advantages and disadvantages that each one may have, and I read a litlle bit more about their loan overview and I would lend money to the business of Blanca Isvelia. http://www.kiva.org/lend/291335

My reasons are:
-First, the kind of products she is selling, dairy products. These are products that everyone is going to buy more than once because they are neccesary.
-Second, she has a wholesale business, which means she sells great quantities of her products and supplies shops all around the city.
-Third, despite she has a higher loan than the other Costeñas, she seems to have a farther projection of her business and her business seems to be growing easily.
-Fourth, due to the income she has, she shows that she can keep repaying the money that people had lend to her.

I think her business is going in a good way, I wish Blanca Isvelia to have success in her dairy business.
