50 Things About Me Tag

Good evening!

Today it’s been a rainy and grey day and that’s one of the reasons why I can’t post today what I was planning to because the lighting is not great to take pictures but I promise you’ll have it next Thursday so, stay tuned for the small surprise because I know you might like it!

For today’s cozy evening post I thought of doing a «50 things about me tag» so you get to know me a bit better! Let’s start!

1.- My full name is Muriel Bermejo Tuñón. Yes, in Spain we use both of the first surnames from our parents which I feel it’s beautiful because you carry both parts of your family within your name.

2.- I’m 19.

3.- I was born in Barcelona, Spain.

4.- Which, by the way, is one of my favourite cities in the world.

5.- Talking about cities, I’ve always been in love with London and although I just went once when I was twelve, I know that sometime in my life I’ll live there.

6.- That brings me to Paris. It’s a city that I always wanted to visit but I had the feling that I wouldn’t get impressed by because I saw it so many times in movies that I really had the feeling that I wouldn’t be able to fall in love with it. But once I traveled there I couldn’t believe how hard it hit me that city. And of course, I’ll live in Paris sometime.

7.- In fact, a couple of months ago, coming back from an audition I needed to change trains in Paris in a two hours lapse and (this is completly true) when I was waiting in the door of Gare de l’Est, with the sun shining and in front of this beautiful city a tear came down my cheek because I really wanted to stay and get lost for a while. Maybe it was because the full adventure of the audition was overwhelming but I knew that I really loved that city when that happened.

8.- If you haven’t noticed, I love traveling.

9.- And although I love it I’ve just had one chance to do a transatlantic flight to Cancún, Mexico.

10.- I enjoy too much going on a flight.

11.- But I’m not as happy with trains. Bad experiences with Deutsche Bahn I guess.

12.- I’m currently living in Mannheim, Germany.

13.- But I never thought of Germany as a destination to visit! And now I really want to discover a lot more cities while I have the chance.

Nüremberg. One of the destinations 

on my Germany must visit list!

14.- Moving on into another subject, I can’t live without music. And I love all styles!

15.- Actually, first thing I do when I wake up is put on my phone a spanish music radio station (Los 40 Principales)

16.- I can’t do any housewife stuff without music.

17.- It’s a bit difficult for me to get into cleaning and organizing but once I get into it, I really go for it all the way and I really enjoy it.

18.- I’m obsessed with stationary stuff. Specially notebooks!

19.- And I enjoy calligraphy a lot as well.

20.- I try to make every single card for birthdays, New Year’s, Christmas or even just a thank you card by hand.

21.- One of my hidden "talents" is copying calligraphies from other persons.

22.- Another one of my «talents» is having a good orientation. My mum says I completely got it from my dad.

23.- I’m very clumsy. I usually get bruises that I can’t remember how I got them and somehow I get attracted to corners of tables, doors or anything that can hit me.

24.- I have one brother who’s seven and a half years older than me. People get very surprised when they see us toghether because we get along extremely well even with the age gap!

25.- My family is the very first thing in life.

Love them so much that not even words can say how much.

26.- My favourite color is green but I also like red a lot.

27.- One of the things I miss the most while in Germany is the sea. It really brings me too many things the moment of sitting down in the sand and just hearing the waves come and go.

28.- I’m more of a sea person than a mountain one.

29.- But I do enjoy a very good hiking route.

30.- I love cats and I wish someday I can get one. British breed are my favourite ones but I would adopt any cat if I get the chance.

31.- As a birthday present when I was around eight I got two turtles that I randomly called Miquel i Pol (I was missing a third one to call it as a catalan poet called Miquel Martí i Pol). I was really excited when I got them but I must say that now I can’t take care of them and I feel bad for making my parents take care of them when they were my responsability.

32.- I enjoy a lot videogames! My brother got me into it with Super Mario World in the Super Nintendo console that we used to play when we stayed in our grandparents house and although I’m very bad at it I still love playing with him.

33.- One of the games I’m good at is Professor Layton’s saga. I love puzzles and riddles in general.

34.- And Rythym Paradise as well. And Animal Crossing. Actully, to make long story short, a big majority of my top games are made for Ninetndo consoles so, you get the deal.

35.- I also enjoy anime. And I’m actually currently following the new season of Sakura Card Captor. And I’m not embarrased about it!

36.- When I was younger I use to read, draw and watch a lot of manga and anime. I even wanted to get a Wacom tablet when I got eleven so I could draw digitally and open a Deviant Art account!

37.- I used to go to otaku events and I loved them. I got several mangas and art books that I would later use to copy the drawings and improve my drawing skills.

38.- I love to draw but I lost a lot of practice because when I was in high school I just draw assignments for my art class and when I finished high school I decided to take a break from drawing because I didn’t enjoy it as much anymore. I regret it too much, but I’m trying to get back to it.

39.- Another thing I used to do and that now I’m actually getting back to it is writing! I actually won a couple of writing competitions that were promoted from school.

40.- And now I’m planning on presenting myself to another writing competition! Hope I can make it to the deadline!

41.- I really enjoy fashion but I must say that I’m still too shy to try things that I like. Guess I must build a bit more confidence and go more savage on my fashion desitions.

42.- I’ve never been to a pop music concert or a music festival. But I really want to do it!

43.- I would love to go to Coachella, Tomorrowland and Ultra Sound festivals. I know, quite different the three of them but I said it before: I love all kinds of music!

44.- When I was younger I used to listen to Bullet for my Valentine, All that remains, System of a Down, Metallica and a lot more of heavy metal bands. My brother played the bass (and he still does) with a small band where they performed metal songs and I really got into it.

45.- I even bought accessories with skewers and tacks. But no, I wasn’t into emo aesthetic or gothic aesthetic.

46.- I enjoy a lot house decor and I have a planned in my mind how it would be my perfect home.

47.- I would like to learn more about minimalist life style and zero waste philosophy.

48.- Last year I started to get into meditation and now, everytime I have an audition, an exam, an special event or I’m just really stressed I have a short meditation session and it really helps me center myself and calm down.

49.- I would like to get a tatoo at the end of this school year. I know what, where and how but I would like to keep it in a bit of a secret. The only clue is that it would be very small.

50.- One of the subjects I enjoyed the most while doing my very last years or pre-college education was art history and I’ve thought of maybe in some years, when I’m more setteled, starting the university career through internet.

Saturn wasn't eating his children. Here's the proof.

And those are 50 things about me not related to ballet that I think they can be fun for you to read. Now you know me a bit better and if you like you can comment down below which facts did you find surprising, funny or relatable!

I hope you have a lovely evening and I’ll see you tomorrow!

Love,

Muriel
