Entry 1: Introduction

My name is Gisela, maybe you know me or maybe you do not. For this reason, I appear before you so that you can know some aspects of my life since we do not have the opportunity to meet personally. Here I will tell you who I live with, what is the song that represents me and what are some of the things I like to do.

To start I want to tell you that I have two children but I only live with my son Santiago since my daughter Daiana this year managed to become independent. She is 24 years old and Santiago is 15 years old. My children are the most precious thing that life gave me and I really enjoy being with them. We have very nice moments, for example almost every Friday we cover an artist or song that we like; we share the music to express how we feel at certain times. Santi plays the guitar, Dai does the choirs and I sing. Fortunately, my children adopted music to express feelings that are difficult to say with words.

One of the songs that I usually sing very often is "Chokin’  kind" performed by Joss Stone. It is a song that at one point in my life identified me and gave me strength to change my course despite adversities. This song is about relationships in all aspects of life that are sweet but stifling. Relationships that suffocate and do not let you progress neither as a person nor as a professional. Personally, the stanza that I sing with a lot of feeling is "... i gave you my heart, but you wanted my mind ..". Sometimes people focus on dominating or taking possession of others without realizing that the most important thing one can receive is love. Unfortunately there is no official video that is attractive and commercial to viewers but I could not elude this song.

 About 5 years ago, I used to sing in a band and they- my children- in addition to saying they were my number one fans, enjoyed rehearsals with me. I confess that I am embarrassed to sing but my personality, which shows the opposite, makes that detail not noticeable.

I am finally in the final stretch of this beautiful career and it was not easy for me. I had many ups and downs but I overcame them in part thanks to the people I met along the way. Although I tell you some characteristics of my personal life, I know that it is not enough but I also admit that I am very reserved and only in this way I could tell something about me.

I share the lyrics of the song followed by the video. Hope you like it!


The Chokin' Kind
Joss Stone

I only meant to love you
Didn't you know it babe
Didn't you know it
Why couldn't you be content
With the love I gave
I gave you my heart
But you wanted my mind,
Your love scares me to death, boy
Oh it's the chokin kind
That's all it is

So you can kill a girl
With a bottle of poison or a knife
I know you can
But it'll hurt her more to take her pride
And ruin her life
 it's a shame boy
Whatever it is boy
I surely hope you find,
I tell you that hat don't fit my head
It's the chokin kind

It makes me wanna mmm
When you fall in love again boy
Take a tip from me
If you don't like the peach, so walk on by the tree
That's what you better do, honey
When you find what you want boy
Keep it, treat it, sweet and kind,
Let it breathe, don't make it the chokin kind
Oh no, don't break my heart baby
 I know you love me truely truely,
 really I do honey
But your love scares me to death boy
yes it does
It's the chokin kind
That's all it is, that's all it is
