Chile Awoke

-
Since October 18 of this year, many things changed. Perhaps not in the way we expect all those who fight from the social outbreak, since politicians have become deaf to the social demands that the movement shouts. However, various issues have come to light, questioning things that were standardized in much of society. Capitalism installed in the country began to be strongly questioned, so large retail stores were looted and burned. Hand in hand is reducing consumption, an idea that came out strongly with the awakening of Chile. Thus, multiple ideological and symbolic issues came to light, apart from concrete social demands. Personally, I feel that the emotions I have experienced since it all started are indescribable. I have felt anger, mainly because of the repression by a murderous state, that it does not care about the lives of the people who fight, but only seeks to maintain their privileges. Also, I have felt nostalgia and emotion to see that the communities rise to achieve the s...

Free time activities

-
Hello to everyone! There are many things that i like to do in my free time. As I said before, I really like to draw and paint, although, of both, I feel that painting is the best. You can express so many emotions depending on the tones and the colors that you use. I think that art is one of the most beautiful expressions of humanity. Another thing that I love to do is making things with macrame thread, bracelets mainly. It is entertaining and relaxing, you just have to let yourself go when you got some free time haha :). However, I haven’t done it so much lately and, thinking about it, I think that when I finish writing this blog I will start making some bracelet with macrame. In life there are several things that make me happy. Listening music, watching series or movies, walking around and talking with friends or family. I also like to go out to see new places, trekking fills my soul. The fact of walking a lot between hills, trees, animals, birds and all the nature that surrou...

Ambition

Sometimes we dream with something that we want to achieve and maybe it would be a little – not little- hard to have. In my case, the ambition that I have from a long time and I hope achieves someday; is to have a trailer (home) that it could allow travel for a lot of places. But, the big reasons for that I want to have it, is because this is the tool that afford me make happy to my mom. My mom is one of the persons that I love the most in the world and I like a lot spend time with her. Besides, I already said her that I would like to have a trailer to go out away together, so is a promise that I would love to achieve. I know that to have a trailer (home) will be complicated for the high price that this has, but I believe when I have a job and could save enough money I would buy the trailer. I think that is good to have ambitions to achieve because they are like a goal in that we inspired to do in our lives. In this way, we could think in a lot of new things to do or have. Bye, ...

A job

-
When I think in this topic, I feel a little confused and I don’t know where I want to go or what road follow. Even in this moment I study anthropology, I think that maybe I like more psychology to know mental process and help to the people in this area and understand a lot of reactions and situation that occur to the individuals. I think that in this moment, I would like to work in the psychology area helping child or people whit mental pathologies. It’s important that someone who have the knowledge and the tools to help a person get ahead and overcoming to themselves. Sometimes we have some obstacles that we think that are so normal, but they aren´t. For example; emotional dependence which is so common but it is something that has a treatment to overcome it, as well as others of greater importance or seriousness. The qualities or skills that I would need to do this job, I think that is so relevant to be strong and empathic to understand to the people and give it a solution for t...

Music

I think that art is something wonderful in all the wide range of different means of expression that this has, I feel that no one is as free as when he makes art, because you can express what comes to mind or what you want, without limitations. In this case I will refer to music in particular, that which excites us, that envelops us, that gives us joy, that understands us and expresses what we ourselves as individuals feel at certain times. I like music because emotions and sensations get to the surface, because it creates environments; It is not the same to be sitting in a room in silence than with music, when this sounds everything changes immediately. However, when I was little I never learned to play any instrument, since teaching in the schools I went to was not good in this area nor did it give us any motivation to learn. Even so, at some point in my life I would like to learn to play the keyboard, and I like the sound it produces.

Food in general

Hello, today I am going to talk about one of the pleasures of life, according to my point of view: Food! I love the sensations that rich food can bring us, well made, with a good seasoning. Because many times I do not even like to be hungry, but for the simple fact that I like to eat. Also, I think that food also serves as a means to share and have a good time with other people. In fact, it is very common to get together with someone to eat or drink something, to share, accompany, talk and have a pleasant time. In fact, it also happens that we smell some food and transport us to moments of the past, such as the childhood when it was the same smell of food, which also reminds us of the people we were with. Undoubtedly, food is an important part of different cultures, where different ingredients, decorations and flavors are used depending on the place, where food can say a lot and provide interesting information. In my case, I could not choose a single meal as my favorite, beca...
