Blogging

I enjoyed using the blog this semester because i think it's a dinamic activity that promotes our imagination and helps us to improve our cotidian english writing. I think the post i like writing best it was the one about the holidays because i enjoyed a lot living those experiences and it's gratifying to share it in other language.
The most boring post i think it was the one about the year's review because i had to remember thing that i may prefer to keep it quiet. I think it's important to practice the writing in english because it can be very useful in a lot of aspects of cotidian life, to read an instruction or an article in english. I like writing and being able to express myself in other languages like these one and i think it's important to know it as a matter of general culture.
I enjoy reading Miguel's blog because he posted a lot of interesting thoughts very useful for the matter of our career and he updated in the correspondant date his posts so it was the first blog in posting the issue of the day, very comfortable to get the work done efficiently.

2016 review

Hey bloggers!
This has been an intense year for me... My year started with my girlfriends celebrating in Ñuñoa's Square the New Year's Eve and dismissing a great friend that is now living and studying in the South of Chile. After that, i started dating the most awesome guy i've met: my actual boyfriend that offered me a job in the beach making sushi with him. We worked a lot and then we went togheter to Bolivia (first time on my life that i realize a trip like that) and have an amazing time there. After that my bf got into a career in the faculty of Antumapu (Agronomy) and i continued on this career. We had the strike of the student and missed classes about 2 months which i spent in the beach and exercising. But that was a serious problem for my boyfriend who also was free of classes, because that meant he won't be able to work in the summer, so he decided to quit that career and move on with other projects. 
Usually i get a fracture like 5 to 2 days before my birthday but this year was different and that was very pleasent for me, i may had a few accidental cuts but nothing serious. Maybe i didn't meet so many people this year but i got to know in more detail or deeply the persons that already were part of my life. 
On September i had the luck to travel to Lima, Perú with my daddy. Also my boyfriend to Orlando, USA while i was working with the sushi in the beach. The rest of the year went flying in front of my eyes...
Now, thing are getting a little bit complicated because this man i love and the one with i had my longest relationship is planning to go studying to the South... So, i don't know what will happened but i ain't got more choice that keep smiling to nthe life even though i0m very sad. 
On music i was very lazy this year but a few groups i met and i liked are XXXYYYXXX, Psycho Tropical Berlin and The Roots of the Chicha.
In the matters of TV and cinema i've been ignoring all premieres and dedicating my time with series that i watch online. A good one that i'd reccomend it's Steins Gate and "Boku dake ga inai machi" (that means something like "the city where only i have dissapeared")
Regards!

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci

Hi geo-classmates! If i could talk with a person who's already not here i'd like to have a one-o-one conversation with Leonardo Da Vinci. I guess you all know him, at least by name, but he was an important artist in the Renaissance humanism season in the XV and XVI century. He did a lots of thing, from arts, to study the human body and even projects of machine and weapon that already exists. I heard of him in school the first time and i was impressed with the amount of thing he accomplished in his life and the beauty of his art. I'd like to ask him who the Gioconda was, and it would be interesting to start a debate about catolicism with him, the painter of The Last Supper... If this debate goes good i would also ask him to make a paint of me and i would take a selfie with him to get him impressed. I imagine that if i were able to talk to him is because i have a time machine, so i would invite him to the present and show him the actual world situation. I'm sure everyone would listen to his comments and it'd cause chaos and awareness about the biggest issues that are conflictive now. Obviously, he may have a high criticism with the not-catholical behaviours and liberal speech of different people but i'd bring him here only if the debate i mention lead to a comprehension from him.
Cheers and see you next week!

Urban ethnography

Hello bloggers!
Today i'm gonna write you about the most interesting subject of this semester and it's called urban ethnography. The class is imparted by 3 different teacher: Paola Jirón, Walter Imilan and Carlos Lange, it has place on the Titanic (the F tower of the FAU) and it's after my General Formation Course of table tennis at 3 o'clock on Tuesday until 6 pm, just before Afro dance. It's interesting because they makje us read ethnographies written in different seasons and guide us in the process of becaming an ethnographer. I like it because is a very practical subject and it's important to participate to learn and realize all the practical activities that we do every class. It'll be useful in my professional life to understand other's opinion understanding their reality and participating in their lifes while the attention is put in the observation, imparcial and objective.
Last class, we had to write an essay that tried to approach the most it could to an ethnography. I talked about the public transport and how people behave when the use it, making a difference between bus, subway and interurban buses. Also, we had to read one of the first famous ethnographies made by Malinowsky, a french that travelled to New Guinea and studied the original people that lived there. Now, we are now reading a text of Wacquant called "Between the ropes" and the difference between these two text it's incredible and itshows somehow the advance of the antropology and sociology with the use of an instrument that was used with the object of comprehension for dominance (antropology's sin) to the comprehension of a cosmovision in orden to improve their conditions of life and have a empiric proof of their situation, I liked a lot the text of Wacquant, it's almoust a novel and very easy to read!
I totally reccomend the elective and i hope you like it too if you ever get to course it.
Cheers!

Circus

Hi Geobloggers! Today i'm gonna talk you about a hobbie that i've been practicing since 2 years ago aproximatelly and it envolves all related to circus. At first i learned how to get up in a aerial cloth with a lot of difficulty but after i bought one for my own i was able to practice more and now i can say i could teach someone else the basics of this. Afterwards, my boyfriend gave me as a birthgday gift a trapeze and three juggling toys so we shared knowledge as he tought me how to juggle and i teach him how to make tricks and falls on the aerial tools.
I love doing this type of things because, in the first place, it's very useful to imporve all the coordinate skills and stuff. In the second place, you meet a lot of people you want to learn or are able to show you something new! People feel very sympathetic to jugglers and it's rare in a lot of countries even if here in Chile is something that it's already more massified and anyone can learn (even here in FAU).
It's also very good for the body and it makes you exercise while you enjoy and learn how to make beautiful figures and awesome falls that forces you to control the adreline in your body and loose the fear of falling in the floor and getting hurt, the key is knowing how to prepare the fall, otherwise it's very dangerous to prove invented falls or something by the style. 
Cheers!

Mon Laferte

Hi! Today i'm gonna talk you about a famous chilean that is a singer that came out first in a TV show and she started to write her own songs and stuffs, viralizing it by Youtube... Her real name is Norma Monserrat Bustamante Laferte and she sings great! I really admire her because she also have songs with a very famous hip-hop group ("Los Tetas") and i would really like to have a voice like hers, even though if sometimes her songs sounds a little boring after the third time. She had a tough childhood and started to make music very early, starting in pubs in Valparaiso. Recently she went to México to try luck and she worked with a famous and great mexican group ("Cafe Tacvba") and participated in the MTV MIAW postulated in the title of "Latin video of the year" for her last song "Tu falta de querer" and recognized with the "Buzz artist of the year"'s award. I think i would talk about chords and things related to playing guitar because i practice it too, but i don't sing as well as she even if it's because of the amount i smoke i may have worn out my vocal chords... hahahaha 

I once dreamed on being a singer but i think i couldn't stand so much social pression! And I love to go unnoticed even if I can rarely achieve this goal in a common day of the week, thing that would be almoust impossible to do if you are a famous artist with more than 90.000 records sold!

A special birthday

I think my last birthday was particulary fun and special because i share the party with almoust all my closer friends and people i love. It was in June 6th of this year and after a day of strike on the university I celebrate my birthday in my house with a custome party! My boyfriend and I were like mimes and almoust everyone on the party was wearing some sort of disguise, for example my boyfriend's cousin and his girlfriend were like muslims with bombs, a classmate was like the mechanichal orange, another one like a boy scout, my brother was dressed as the leader character of the movie "The professional" and his girlfriend as the kid in the movie. I remember it was a rainy day and a lot of other classmates came after celebrating another birthday and any of them were disguised but I didn't gave them problem and they all danced a lot.
I prepared a lot of jellyshots with Pisco for everyone, bought 200 "sopaipillas" and made a "Navegado" a classical chilean drink that contains wine, orange and heat. It was perfect for the hungry and thirsty people and my cousin who was playing as the Death itself took care of cooking the traditional "Sopaipas" (that is a pumpkin dough) until 12 o'clock. Also, a lot of my friends stay to sleep on my house because they live far away.  
My parents gave me a green thermo that I use to bring water or tea to the places I go and some clothes. I had a really good time and everyone in the party smoke and chill a lot. I think a good party has to got a circle of people improvising Hip Hop and I was grateful to share this gift too :)
Greets to everyone and I hope you had a great birthday like that one:)
