Art

 I think that art is very important because it is a way of expression, a way in what yo can say wherever you want whiteout using words. But I have to confess that I'm not an art fan. When I was a kid I really enjoyed drawing but not painting. I think that I like more some new ways of visual art like the photography or not visual art expressions like the drama or the literature. So I don't like to much to go to art museums, I get bored quickly.
I'm not good at visual art. I'm terrible at drawing or painting, maybe I don't have the talent, or maybe I have never practice it enough. But I have friend that are really good artist and I really admire them. I'm not worried about being bad at art because i really don't like it so much. I think that I have other way to express my feeling or ideas, and I also have other ways to relax.
I think that graffiti is a way of visual art, you can like it or not, but is a way to express something, maybe rage or disagreement whit something, graffiti could be also the way that people shows their identity, their likes, or their feelings in a no-usual way. It could be considered vandalism, but I think that that is part of the idea of making a graffiti.
I think that my favourite artist could be Salvador Dali, but as I say, I really don't know too much about art

Green Society

Today's society isn't really worried about our environment. We all now that is really important to protect the environment but there are a little number of persons that actually do something for it.
I believe that you can learn about environmentally friendly practices every were nowadays, the TV, the Internet the announcements in the streets, everything is talking us about protecting the environment, the problem is that we are not interesting on doing it.
That's because to really protecting the environment we have to do more that just recycling or take a bike, we should change all our lifestyle.
I have to confess that I'm not the best example of protecting the environment, I actually don't recycle in my house, I just do it if I have a specialized trash can near. I use to ride my bike to go places near of me, or walk if I can. I have never supported any eco-organizations, I think that maybe because I have never have the opportunity, or maybe I don't believe to much in all of this organizations because some of them just have political or economic goals.
I want to do something in my neighborhood to make people take conscience of the problem an take actions.

I have started to don't waste water or to walk to the places that I can do it, to put all the trash in the trash can, and to don't produce more trash that the necessary.
I think that our society must take conscience about what will happen if we don't protect the environment, and have to change their habits and to compel the authoritys and the companys in our country to do the same. 

My future job

When I finish my career I would like to work doing archaeological investigations. I imagine going to an archaeological site, working in the excavation for a time, and after that coming back to the lab to work in the things that I found. After that publishing my investigation in a magazine or something like that. So I believe that my future job will be both in outdoors and in indoors, that gives makes it more interesting, is not a monotonous work, you have to travel, to come back, to work some time in the lab, some time in a office. I really want to travel as part of my job, around Chile and also to visit and work in another countries, and this job will probably require me to travel to find or to work in an archaeological site .
I thing that I will prefer to work in a university more that for the government or a company, because it gives me more freedom to chose a topic or the methods of investigation, and maybe I would like to teach some day and a university can give me the chance.
So I'm going to take a major in Archaeology in the middle of the career because is the anthropological subject that I like more, I can investigate about the past and use a lot of scientific methods.

Computer Games

I actually use my computer to play video games. It's true that It may be not a productive activity but, some times it helps me to relax.
I play my first video game when I have my first computer, I don't remember how old I was, or what game it was. Now my favourite video game are Call of duty and Pro evolution soccer. Call of Duthy is a first person shooter  game, there are a lot of editions that happends in diferent places or time, and Pes is a soccer game, yo can play whit an entire team or whit just a player, you can play against a friend or in the same team with him. I usally play it whit some friends, it's really funny because you can play against them and talk and laugh. I really don't spend a lot of time playing video games, but if I have a free time, and nothing to do it could be an option. I've never skip sleep just for play a video game, and I hope never do it.
Video games aren't a important thing in my life, I prefer a lot of things over it, like go somewhere whit my friends or spend time whit my family.

My best holidays

The last summer I went to Pichilemu. It was the best holidays so far. I went there whit four friends. We rent a nice cabin very cheap and very good located, near the beach and the town's center.
The best think that we did there was surfing. The first day we take a surfing lesson  and after that all the days of the week that we spend there we rent surfboards and surf there. Also we went a couple of days to Punta de Lobos, a beach near to Pichilemu that is one of the best surfing spots in the world. One day we also surf on there, It was really difficult to us, we was just learning and the waves there were really, really big...
Some afternoons we just walk around the town or the beach, it was really relaxing. And I recharge my batteries for this first year at the university.
I have to admit that to cook and to clean the cabin was also an adventure for us, but it was funny, and a very good experience.
We want to do it again, maybe this summer, I hope so.

Movies

I remember that when I was a child I loved a movie called The Land Before Time. It was about a little dinosaur and his friends, and a lot of adventures that they have. It was a serie of movies about it. And I saw they all.

I really like to go to the cinema, but to watch movies with a lot of special effects, maybe movies without a lot of content, but I preffer to watch more complex movies at home. 

A few weeks ago I watch a movie called "Could Atlas", Tom Hanks stars in this film. It is a really complex movie, because it shows six stories at the time, from the XIX Century, to a post-apocaliptic future, showing allways the same actors doing diferents roles. The movie talk about how the actions of a person affect other people's life now and in the future. I really reccomend it, it makes you think and is really entertaining.

I really like watching movies, and I enjoy  spending some of my free time on it.  

Italy

Beautiful places, good food, and a lot of history. If I could choose any place in the world to visit I would choose Italy. I really like the historical places there, the italian food is my favourite and I have listen that the people there is very nice, so I think that I could have a very good time there.

A friend how visit Italy tell me that is a very good place to go, he visit all the country and knew a lot of pleaces and people. I also know a little about the historical places of Italy. The Roman Empire left behind many constructions, monuments, temples and other things, that tell us things about his history, and you can visit this places in Italy.

I would like to visit all this historical places that I talk about, to eat a lot of italian food, as pastas and pizza and to know people.

I would like to study there maybe for a couple of months or go to work as an archeologist when I finish my carrer, but I think that may be better to go just as a tourist to have relaxing vacations.  I hope some day I will be there.

Zombies

Run!!!! 

That's probably the first thing that you will listen if zombies are coming 

Zombies are people how died and become alive again. 

I hear about zombies for the first time years ago in a movie, there are a lot of movies and books about zombies, and now is a mainstream topic, because of movies like "Resident evil" or shows like The Walking dead" everybody is talking about zombies. But there are a lot of ways to imagine a zombie, some people (and because of some movies) believe that zombies are dumb and slow, that just move around like stupid trying to bite somebody. But other people think in very smarts zombies, fasts an strong (like the one that you can see in "I'm legend")  

I really don't believe that zombies exist. I believe that they are fiction characters, but there are some people that believe that they are real, and someones has joined to zombies cult, but I don't know anybody that has did it.

I never was really afraid to zombies, I think that because the mostly of movies shows them like stupids being, but I have some friends that when we was child really were afraid of it.   

Zombies are really interesting, and stories about zombies are listened all around the world.   

Giovanni Belzoni

A person that I admire is Giovanni Belzoni. he was born in Italy on 1778 but latter he travel to England and he worked there as an strong man in a circus. Years after that he traveled to Egipto, and he started exploring tombs and selling archaeology materials to important persons or museums. He discovered a lot of things, and has a lot of adventures, he wrote a book of his adventures and discovery called "

Narrative of the Operations and Recent Discoveries within the Pyramids, Temples, Tombs and Excavations in Egypt and Nubia, &c". Belzoni explored Elephantine (Jazirat Aswan) and the Temple of Edfu (Idfu). In 1818 he became the first person in modern times to enter the pyramid of Khafre at Giza. He was also one of the first Europeans to visit the oasis of Siwa, and he identified the ruins of Berenice on the Red Sea.

I like him because he do very interesting things, his adventures includes things like run away from the army, the police, and natives, some people consider him a tomb raider, and disapprove his methods because he disregarded many items that did not interest him and must have damaged much in pursuit of his goal, but it doesn´t matter to anybody in his time 

Maybe he didn't make big contributions to archaeology in theory but he found a lot of important material that actually is showed in big museums or expositions.

 

                                             

Books

I really love to read, I think that it is probably because my mother makes me read a lot when I was a child. I don´t know how much books I have read, but it is a big number. I have a lot of books in my room and a have read it all.

I think that I prefer fiction books, my favorite book could be “Ensayo sobre la cegera” written by José Saramago, or maybe “Brave New World” whose author is Aldous Huxley.  But what I really now is that my favorite character of literature is Sherlock Holmes, I think that this character is very interesting, he is very smart and cleaver and he is also weird, but it makes him more special.

I recently read “The silence of the lambs” written by Thomas Harris.  I read it very fast, just in a few days. It is about a student of FBI academy who needs to catch a killer, and for that she goes to a mental hospital to talk whit a psychopathic called Hannibal Lecter, who was a famous psychiatrist that starts killing and eating people. He was really smart and manipulator; he will confuse her and search the opportunity to escape. It is a very interesting book, whit a lot of action and suspense. I really love it.     

A different photo

Today I’m going to talk about a very special photo. I took this photo when we went to a trekking excursion whit a group of friends. It shows a paraglider whit the sun behind him, also you can see a big part of Santiago, the light of the sunset gives it a very special effect.

 I took this photo on February 13^th, 2014 in El Cajón del Maipo. I like it because it looks magic, the view is beautiful and the sunset over the paraglider shows us something different. Also this photo reminds me a very good week that I spent whit my friends in this vacations, also a very good day climbing the mountain. I think that the photo transmits you in some way the sensation of being in this place, of having this beautiful view. Also when I see this picture I can imagine why this paraglider does what he does. Finally this photo brings to my memory the gratifying sensation of arriving to the summit of a mountain after a big sacrifice and having a reward, in this case this view was enough.

About the animals.

I don’t know if I’m an animal’s lover but I like them and really makes me angry to see anybody hurting them.

The first pet I got was a dog, a big one that had the same age than me. He lived in my house for thirteen years and then he dies. I was very sad and in this moment I don’t want to have another dog. A few months later I change my mind and I really want to have another dog, then I got the golden retriever that I actually have.

I’m agree of using animals in medical research only if this research don’t hurts the animals of if they aren’t  abused in the process. About the zoo I think that is good the work that they do with animals that are in danger, or when they help some hurt animal, but I’m not agree of keeping them in the zoo just for people to see them.

When I was just a kid a big dog bite me in the head, I just want to caress him. It was really painful and I needed to go to the hospital. After that I started to be vaccinate for the rabies. It wasn't funny, but it  doesn't make me be afraid of dogs.

If I could be an animal I think that I would choose to be an eagle to be able to fly and see a lot of things, to travel far away, and don’t be worried for others animals can eat me.

My cellphone

My cellphone is absolutely my favourite piece of technology. I got it the past year for my birthday. I bought it with some money that I save during the year. 

It’s my favourite piece of technology because it allows me to be in touch with everybody in everyplace. With it I can chat with my friends all the day long using WhatsApp or Facebook. I can go to Google when I have a doubt or see a map if I’m lost. It makes all the travels more fun and when I need to wait for something I use it to read news or see some videos on Youtube. Before I have my cellphone my favourite piece of technology was my computer, now I can do the most of things that I did in the computer in my cellphone in every place. I use my cellphone all the day long, sometimes too much, I think. 

I guess my life without my cellphone would be less fun, it would be difficult to be in touch with my friends and some things would be more complicated and harder.  

A new semester in a new place

This first semester I´m taking seven subjects: Anthropology I, Archeology I, which is my favorite one, Biology (That’s the one I hate), Latin-American History, that is really interesting because it has a different point of view from the one that I had at school, Social Sciences Philosophy, Social Sciences Studying Method, a very boring subject, and English.
This semester I’m not taking extracurricular because I think that I don’t have any time left and I want to get used to the university exigencies first. But I´m part of the swimming team of the university and I hope to go to competitions whit them in this semester.
My expectations for this semester are to learn a lot, to get used to the university’s requirements  and to enjoy every moment and every activity that I do, to make good friends and to meet people. And of course, to have good grades in all the subjects. 

That's me

I was born in the independence celebration, in September 19th of 1995 in Santiago, Chile. I grew up in Puente Alto and enjoy a wonderful childhood.

Then I went to the Colegio Belén where I did my elementary formation. After that a went to Benjamín Vicuña Mackenna High School. There I meet very good friends and also learned a lot of things about life. In this year I also start to swim. I graduate of High School in 2013 and this year I started studying Anthropology at the Universidad de Chile.
 
I live with my parents and haven’t brothers or sisters. I also have a dog and a cat that really are part of the family.

I really love sports. I swim, so in my free times I train in the pool or in the gym. I started swimming in Club Recrear and now I’m swimming for the university team. I like to go out with my friends and I really like traveling. I like to go to the beach and surfing too. I haven’t talent for music or arts.

Thast’s me.
