Some more facts about me

No introduction, no filler, just some facts. You can check some existing facts about me on this post from last year’s Blaugust and this other compilation.

Even though I am Mexican, there’s a lot of Mexican food everyone seems to love, but I just don’t like as much. I can eat it if I have to be polite, but yeah, I’d rather not. I don’t like Mole nor Menudo, even though both are quite popular and I’d recommend trying them out if you ever come visit this country. I also tend to avoid spicy food if possible.
I love origami as a hobby, this is not new information for most of you, but I do want to share my favorite origami model, which would be the Rat by Eric Joisel, he was one of the best origamists ever, and this model is one of the most expressive I know of, with a simplicity which I adore. There’s a diagram available if you want to give it a try, though it is of intermediate difficulty. In second place the Horse by Hideo Komatsu is lovely for opposite reasons, it is much more complex to fold, yet it looks as clean as a traditional crane. Both are fantastic. Check my origami page—though none of these models is pictured there…
I love gaming, and most of my gaming is done in a handheld format, I currently possess a Nintendo Switch OLED, a PSP 3000, and Anbernic RG 35XXSP, a Miyoo Mini Flip and a New Nintendo 3DS XL, I also have a Miyoo Mini Plus that is currently on my sister’s care, and a Game Boy Advance SP which still works and was my first proper handheld—other than the cheap ones that came with 5 versions of tetris and blocky games I guess.
When I was in high school I pretty much introduced every one of my friends to speedcubing. I taught at least half a dozen of them how to solve the Rubik’s cubes and provided learning resources to many more, I did a couple of meet-ups and even went to a small event with a friend, teach algorithms, techniques to improve, etc. I would also recommend puzzles to get and would find the best local online stores to order from. As such I’d ask them to select what to buy and I would order a bunch of cubes at once to my house and distribute it from there. Looking back, I kind of promoted the hobby more than I realized and it was a sign of things to come… cough cough
My favorite primary color is blue, and in case it isn’t clear by my profile picture and my website, my favorite color is turquoise or neon purple.
I have lived on four different states all over my country (México), the south, the north, and currently on the central region, all sorts of weather conditions and altitudes. Not too bad I’d say.
For some reason my first ever full anime was Neon Genesis Evangelion. I didn’t even know it was a mecha anime, I was not expecting what it would become later. Of course I was already exposed to some classics, such as Dragon Ball, Captain Tsubasa or Yu-Gi-Oh, which are constantly airing on public TV channels in Mexico and which I have never seen more than a couple episodes each. Evangelion was the first one I chose to watch consciously from start to finish.
Finishing games was not very common for me as a kid. Looking back, the first game I ever completed is probably Halo 3 with my friends, though memory fails me. I would have to ponder some more on this… The earliest games since then is Ocarina of Time and Chrono Trigger in 2015-2016.
I have had four dogs, and only two of them at the moment. The first was Chicharido, a chihuaha I had for almost 14 years. I dug the grave myself, and it was surprisingly quick how I got over it after that. The second was Navi, who I barely got to have for a couple months due to a disease, she died first years ago,I wrote about that back then. My two remaining dogs came after and got to be with Chicharito for a few years, they are 3 or so years old and I’m quite happy to have them.
My current YouTube obsession continues to be football. I keep watching documentaries and goal compilations from X or Y players or my national team, the World Cup does something to me, heeeelp
