THESE DAYS, THIS WORLD, MY LIFE .

Hello, now I speak of my life these past few days, at university I wanted to take all the classes I'm missing out, which caused a major collapse, the schedule is very demanding but nevertheless I am very motivated in my studies and everything that comes from now on especially for professional practice I want to do in the countryside. Because it is my last semester of college to make the most of the sites and which are the last instances they share with many of them. As for my personal life I am very happy, I like to share with the people I love and the free time to do things that go beyond the university. Although everyone on vacation, and eager togive me be, too - I think you get used to everything and finally is tolerable and can return to pick up the pace of study, ceasing to be tedious. I hope these months of classes I be of much help to emerge as prepared as possible to the world and obviously enjoy the little vacation we have.

That" little town" called Las Condes

In this post I will talk about my neighbourhood. I live in the commune of Las Condes, in a street called Enrique Bunster. The location of my house is between Francisco Bilbao and Manuel Claro Vial, near to the Padre Hurtado´s Park.

There are many facilities in the place where I live because there are several services around. You can walk 5 minutes and there is the “Portal La Reina” this includes a Jumbo, a dress store (La polar), a pharmacy, restaurants, a big hard ware store, and others services or multiple entries. In my neighbourdhood there are also a Medical Center, and kindergartens and schools.

Something that I consider very important is the beauty of my environment, because is very clean and greed, whit many parks, and squares, and places to develop a recreational activity. Thanks to this the pollution is not a problem as as a general way.

Respect to the transportation there is not a subway near, you have to take the bus to get there, but the bus routes are very good for any place and anywhere you want to go.

In my personal opinion I like to live in my neighbourdhood, in fact all my life I lived there,  most of my friend lives there, and  the environment is quiet and beautiful. But sometimes is a commune enclosed it inself, whit many condominiums and little contact whit the neighbords.                         

Aysén, reservation of life

We all aspire without leaving the progress to return to the Nature. Every time with more insistence the question arises in mouth of million persons. What company do we want to construct?. Which is the ethics of the development that we want looked from the point of view of the personas, of the community and of the protection to the nature; our Mother Earth?. Though there are in the World knowledge, experiences, innovative capacity and specialized agencies in the protection of the Nature, the persons' excessive ambition and companies in the exploitation of natural resources prevent the initiatives of repair and protection. In this context the lack in transparency, equanimity and undue pressure observed on there having be approved the project of construction of the Hydroelectric power stations of river Baker and Easter, is called all to justifying the sense and commitment of the declaration " Vida's Aysén Reservation". Declaration that not only  accredits to feel of those who live in this geographical space called Aysén's Region, but the right to live in a healthy environment and that offers opportunities of spiritual, cultural and economic development.
If the community is anxious,  If there are manifestations along the Country. If legislators do observations that mean to introduce or to generate changes in the presentation and / or approval of hydroelectric projects or in the legal participation of the citizenship; these facts demonstrate interest and worry for preserving the wealths of our natural heritage.

I fell in love in the Amazon

Two summers ago I went to the Amazonas  with  my friends.  It was an unexpected trip, but one of the most incredible of my life. We crossed the whole Peru up to coming to the heart of the jungle. To come there we had to take a ship that delayed five in crossing the Amazon. The ship was amazing, we were sleeping in hammocks and were eating the strangest things that I have proved in my life. It was lived, was feeling, was breathed and was falling in love in a very different way there. Everything was nice!
I fell in love with a French geographer who was travelling also in the ship, it was an Amazonian adventure.
I was feeling alive and was feeling that the jungle was wrapping you in a new way of feeling the things. The heat was making you free. Between the animals, the sounds of these and new colors, I knew and understood that to travel opens the mind you to understand the thousands of manners of life that exist in the world.
I fell in love with everything what existed, of travelling, of re-going, of eating, of feeling, of the love, of my friends, of the strangers, of the smells, of the flavors, etc...
I believe that I will return to this place, I will return to the center of the emotions.

"Latinoamerica is a town at south of United State" (8)

Latinoamerica is more than a region, is a way to understand a culture, because the people have a similar style of life, I mean the people in latinomaerica have a similar history.
But no obstant is diferent the way to live this similar history, and every country have typical and own characteristics that we can saw like a sterotypes. For example for the tropic the people is more energy and more rhytmical, but to south, to the cold area the people do the things more quiet, the style of life is more paused.
These sterotypes exist because there are element in the cultures that people expect to exxagerate, and this element then pron pers to convert in a sterotype. Not only exist sterotypes in Latinoamerica, there are sterotypes in every parts of the world.
In the case of Chile I think that other Latin American countries view Chileans like an stable country, politics and financially. But for other way they view Chileans like a  n single and ambitius country. But the Chileans are really nice persons.
There are sterotypes in Chile of different groups of Chileans, like a "urban tribe"; "Pokemones", "Gothics", etc..and for the geographyc condition. Called, "sureño", "nortino", etc..

"Punta de Choro" only "cabros choros"

 

 

I remember two years ago I was whith my friends to hitchhiking to north. It was a great trip, amazing.

We started the trip from Santiago and our last destiny was Bahía Inglesa. In this trip we did a stoped in "La Serena" (Coquimbo) and there we was to camp to "Punta de Choro", when we come from to a large trekking, and saw the beach was "Oh! my god", there was beautiful, like a virgen beach. There was anybody there, only rthe waves, the hot sun, and the coast refresh .

We put up the tent and we stay like a week there. Drinking a beers every time, doing trekkings, and enjoining to the sun and the beach.

In front of "Punta de Choro" there is an island called "Isla Dama", so beautiful too, we could see dolphins there and that was a great experience.

I like so much this beach because there is not a tipically beach whit people in everywhere, or much edifications, there is a little place to be in family, with friends, with the lover or anybody you want.
I recomended visit this place and be free there. I Punta de Choro you can put up the tent wherever you want.. is so pacific.
I wanna come back soon...to remember the first time.

I love this time!

I was on fourth grade and I was listening every time to this band. It was going walking from the school to my house thinking in this band, I was thinking every day in their songs, and suddenly  I enter to my bethroom and I see the CD ("La vos de los 80)  in the bed, my parent had give it to me.
I remember that I was listening to it the whole day in this years, I was in love to Claudio Narea!
My friends were going home to listening to it because I was the unic whit this CD.
I like this CD because I was remember when I was children whit this, and because there was a revolutionary band in this yeras. My favorite song stil is "Quién mató a Marilyn", I like the rithm, the letter, the intention, I like old of this song.
I still like it "Los prisioneros" but I dont listen to them so much, but every time that I listen this band I remember very much things, and I remember a good erea.
"Los prisioneros" now are not a very popular band in the radios on in the youngers, but Im sure that every body of our time listened this group.

Caleta Tortel; playing at being geographer

I think that studying geography we have had many interesting  field trips, but my favorite fiel trip It wasnt for the University, it was in "Caleta Tortel", studing the river Baker.
3 years ago on vacations  I went to Coyhaique, specifically to "Caleta Tortel" because my sister  was working in a fondecyt project of investigation to the river baker, and she needed an assistant.
The investigation was on the benthic area of the river, and the species that they were living.
The team of work it was compound for 2 marine biologist, a chemistry of laboratory, a technician of navigation and me.
For 10 days we were waking up every day at 6:30 and we were going out in boat to taking samples with technological equipments. I was a small boat Because of it we had to to be organized well in the labors.
Then We were returning to the 13.00 to have lunch, and after it we were analyzing the samples old day.
I learned very much about the discipline, the teamwork and about the river baker.
And it was very interesting to understand something of the local geography
Undoubtedly I would like to return to take part of a trip study like that.

Bye!

Hotmail for ever!

Since Iam 15 years old my favourite and more used social medio it has been de mail specially hotmail.
I think that the mail´s are a simply social medio to contact friends from Santiago and every way of the world, is like a letter but more technological, unlike facebook or another social medio the mail is so specific, simply, private, and it doesn´t have complicated functions.
Though it I have facebook or another social medio, my principal way to comunicate whit friends, family, contacts, friends of the work, etc.. is hotmail.
I chek my mail every day, so I conected whit this social medio constant, it is like my second way to relate whit my world.
It is an academic social way too, because it serves froms the class work, to send documents, etc...
I think that in this globalized world the comunication by internet is daily and near to the people, for tath we have to understand that the relationships have a ciber way but is not the unic and most important way to the comunication.
The proyection of the globalitation and the relations for social media will be every day more intense.

Jorge Drexler's concert

                                       

The last year I went to Caupolican's stadium to saw Jorge Drexler. He is from Uruguay but it lives in España, winner of the prize Oscar whit the music of the movie ""Diarios de Motocicleta". Beside musician and composer he is a doctor of medicine specialized on Otorhinolaryngology.
I like this singer since I am young because represent a new way to listening and understand the world. His letters speak of the daily life, the love, the causality, the physucal laws of the life for his condition of "cientific" and the melancholy but old this from a simply look. I think that Jorge Drexler is a poet folk, visionary and critical personof the sensibilities of the human being. I enjoyment a lot of the concert because the sound, the enveroinment, the ligth was perfect but the most importante is that the singer  it transmitted old his energy and power. The music was perfect, every song was a nwe world.
I decide to go to this event because I like so much this singer as singer and as poet. Im in love to Jorge Drexler and of his band.
The concert was in October and I went whit my friends, because they love Jorge Drexler Too. The concert lasted like a 3 hours because the public and me did not want taht it went away.
The concert ended but the music of Jorge Drexler is day by day in my daily life.

Here is a video of the concert. I hope you like it.

The movie of valeria

My favorite movie is "Frida", there is a biography to the painter and amazin woman "Frida Kalho". I like this movie because talks about many topics like; love, revolution, art, freedom, suffering, pasion, and the culture of México, and because the music is excellent, typical folkclore of mexico.
Frida Kalho is an important referent of the feminism in Latinomaerica because to reivindicated  the rol of the woman in the society.
The director of the movie is Julie Taymor, and she try to represent the life of Frida since child to the death of her.
The principal actors are Salma Hayek, Alfred Molina, Geoffrery Rush, Ashley Judd, Antonio Banderas, Edward Norton, Mía Maestro.

The principal element of the movie is understand the accident that frida went suffring, because that element is the landmark of her life. Then to the accident she starts to painting a lot of, and then nows Diego Rivera and they lifes starts to change.

Finally I thing that this movie is very importat to méxico and latinoamerica in general, because represent an original culture and original modernity of this country on a woman figurity.
