My experience learning English at the university.



I iniciated the english course this year. I started with the level 3, in this level there were too many people of different years, and I went only with two classmates of my year. The course costed me in a beginning, because there were people that to spoke very well, for that reason the teacher sometimes speaking only with the more advanced. But with the time, I went released me and participating more. Apart of that, the evaluation form of the course 3 didn't have quiz, only the teacher did an oral test that consisted in to prepare a disertation about one subject of our career.
After that, I passed to the actual level 4, where I am with more classmates. In this level, in general I feel that  there is a similar level of knowledge, although always there are people too much advanced. The actual course has been too much demanding, because we have had regulary quiz, and in the class we should to speak always, whereas in the previous course only who wanted spoke.
In short, comparing both experiences, in my opinion to learn english at the university, in the first place has been a good experience, because permit us is practicing the idiom the constant form. However, in spite of the method of the class that consisted in exercise and theory, I feel that I don’t have learned too much new content, but with the practice, and the blogs writting I have learned to speak and to write better. And in the second place, I believe that a point that is not very exploted in the class is to listen english, but this is based in my personal experience, because my mean weakness is to understand the english idiom.
In conclusion, to learn english at the university has been a good experience, and as the english class are all the week, it permit to learn or to practice constantly, in particular for the writting. At this point I think that the best of the english class is the blog system, because not only it permit to know new vocabulary, but also it is useful for to write better respect to give expression to the ideas.
Finally I think “oh this is the last course!”, I don’t know if I pass, I am scary, so if I fail, I think that I will should to see more english movies.

Challenges in your discipline.

The Anthropology is a young  social discipline, for this reason, it is in constant challenge with the different teorical schools. But in the first place, the main challenge that the anthropology has been had in the XX century, has been to admit and to restore the fact that is a discipline daughter of the european colonialism. The anthropology was born for a need of the european states of to know the other cultures that were dominanting. For that reason, after of the evolucionist school of the XIX century, in the recent century, the anthropolgist have been trying to rescue the identity of that cultures subordinated and forgot.
It seems to me that, the looking that found to rescue this cultures, is a first step for to overcome the gray birth.
But, the second challenge is to gather the first change, and then to have a looking not ethnocentrist, to be more precise, is necesary a that the anthropoly study the other cultures that don't be of the first world thinking their like equals cultures, equal people, and not like lower cultures. For this aspect, I think that is too important to value to the other in all instance in our lifes, not only respect to other people or communities. At this point,the respet and the tolerance are the most important if we wish to be good anthropologist, I mean, that the people different to our own culture don't is a "study object", but a "study individual"; in the anthropology the researcher and the researchered are two individual that build the knowledge.
Finally, I think that today our challenge is that we should worry for the actuals conflicts in the pay, for example, for the mapuche conflict or political and social problems, because before of to look to outside, we should to look inside oneself, and is not enough with dress up like "artesa" or "hippie" believe us "pachamamicos", if wee don't have anything for the problems.

Advantages and disadvantages of being wealthy.

To think in to be wealthy I think in the Patula count, in Paris Hilton, Juanito Yarur, and in the old song that says: Had once a great king that had a lot of lands, a castle and also a love...

In my opinion, in the first place the main advantage of to be wealthy is that you can to get all all all that you want. You can to buy many things, and to travel for too many places. Besides, if you are young you can to pay a very good education and to pay some doctor for to be slim and beautiful person.
In adittion, if you are a charitable person you can to help to other people or something ONG. For example, the Make a Wish ONG.
What is more, one advantage of to have a lot of money, is that you can to have eccentric pleasures because all that you do, will be justified for the money.
Now, on the other hand, to be wealthy to have some drawbacks. One disadvantage of to be wealthy is that some people meeting with you only for interest. So is difficult to find good friends. An additional disadvantage, and I completely agree that is the most important drawback is the fact that if you always have lived in a cradle gold, perhaps you don't look the other world and people to your around and maybe you would a despot person. I know that I sound like a resentful person. Nevertheless, I don't agree with the strong division of the social class. Appears to me that all the people should learn about the others.
(Now I sing in my mind "Imagine" by Beatles)

To sum up, there are too many advantages and disadvantages of being wealthy, the important is to be happy and if you can to be happy to the rest, because if the song can to finalize with: "Today the king don't can ne happy because don't have neither castle or love".
Oh rays! I am a pessimist person!

The most embarassing moment...The most?


When I try to remember embarassing moments I don't remember anything, but if I to think more, uff! I put me blush! So, I will count one of much moments. 
Well, a short time, in a summer ago, I was go to a gym. I prefered to go in the morning, becouse there were less people in the machines, and less magnific womans, so I felt more relax. A day, I went to the gym like all the morning, and was only the teacher. The teacher was a man very handsome, he didn't was a typical "Jhony Bravo", but he was a pleasant and good looking person. Ok, he like me but only as an idilic love.
So, when I was in the gym, I started to exercise in a static bicycle. There was music, and I was very concentratred in my routine. Meanwhile, like I was hot for the exercise, I dried my face with a towel that I put on the irons of the bicycle.
After, the teacher was to see how I was, becouse I was the only person there. And the teacher said me: Dany, seems that yo have something in you face. And then, he said me: come here, to the bathroom.
I thought that I had some bite, but when he indicated me the mirror, I said: OH! I had all my face black, because the towel on the irons was satined with the grease of the machine, then when I dried I got oil stains on my face. I looked a crazy! I felt too much embarrassment! I was blush, mmm black and blush.
I wished swallow me earth. But despite everything, the only good thing is that there were anybody more, but my pretty teacher what owe to have thought!
It was a bad moment, but with the time is funny to remember this occasions.

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition.


The great empires have produced great and beautiful art, but the truth behind this art is that these empires have histories about cruel regimens and domination on others areas.
For the other side of the mirror, the beautiful architecture, sculptures and paintings hide histories about wars and blood. For example, some ancien spanish paintings in the Britain Museum are fascinanting, but behind of the canvas is the death of too many people that died with the American conquest. In spite, before, in the middle age, the spanish art was outshine for the islamic art, but with the Spain discovered America, the Empire of Spain turned in the center of art. A painter that represents this period was Velasquez, whose painting most famous until our days is The Meninas, but a painting that reflected this time is Christ in the house of Martha and Mary in the National Gallery.
For the other hand, others paintings show the intensity of the catolic religious in the Inquisicion period. These paintings have too much realism, but is a cruel realism because it shows scenes about the crucifixion, pales faces, injured painted very red and body too thin. An exemple about this style is the Zurbaran painter, whose paintings are a mix of mimesis with the reality, so he created strangest effects that had to feel the catolic mysticism.
This art shows not only the american domination, but also it represents the domination in the european cultures. So, for this reason, I think that the art is very important for to study in the antrophology because, in the time where in Europ there were too much illiterate people, and in America there wasn't writting, the art, and above all the visual art was a main form for to christianize and to dominate. In conclusion, in the Spanish Empire the catolic art, down the Cross figure, it hides a hegemony history where the Church and the Monarchy together, were the domination voice on the vanquishes.

Well, if you want to read more about this topic, you can to visit the following page:

Improving my faculty facilities.


The current situation in Faculty's Social Sciences is about the planning about futures congress or seminares, and for me career the activity most important is the next ENEA or National meeting antrophology students. It will be in november. Those activities actually are the most well-know, but always there are different activities like talks, season movies and too many career meeting. Is enough with to look the walls and always are posters with some event here or in other place.
On the other hand, in the faculty there are always some problems about the career's subjects and there are constantly talks between students and teacher.
So, regarding the building, this faculty is good, but the bathoroom are too bad, and the dining casino is very small. But in general the rooms are fine.
In this respect,firstly I think that the publicity about academic activities is fine, but sometimes there are most advertising about out activities than into the faculty. In the same way, I think that there isn't exist worry enough in respect the subjects, because the subjects are frecuently more theoretical than practical, and when the people start to work, sometimes is difficult because they know only theories.
For improving all this situacion, I would have some changes in the mesh's career puting special atention in the mainly theoretical schools, I mean that for exemple, I would put subjects related with Chile or Americ, because the majority of the authors that we have to read are europeans or from United States.
Moreover, I would change the building, but for all these changes, in my opinion, would have to exist a central plataform of money with the way of to destiny the economical recourses for the all faculties in a equitable way.
Therefore, with this changes, I think that would have more recourses for to fix the building, to buy more books for the bookcase, and for to hire goods teachers.
All in all are immediate changes, but like a further recommendation, I think also that the open system for this faculty and in general for the university should be with other system that give opportunities to students of public school that in the PSU had bad marks. I talk about the Propedeutico system, a programm that in the Santiago University started few years ago, and it has been good results.
Well, finally, I think that the solution's key for all the problems is that the education would be free, yeah, the education is not a comercial product, I know that is the typical sentence that the people say, but is true, because isn't a mystery that the country's develpment is in the education and not in too many cell phone or computers.

My favorite movie.

My favorite movie is Hierro 3. It is a corean movie produced by Kim Ki Duk. This movie is something "freak" because in all the development the major figures doesn't talk anything. Well, this movie is about a young man that leaves notices hanging in the main doors, and to the other day, if the notice was in the door yet, it meaned that anything was in the home, so the young started to the strange house and lived for some days like if he would be of the family. After, the young left the houses in perfect order and he went away.
Once, the young came in a house where had a young and beautiful woman, and both to got on well. But the woman' husband when arrived to the house, hited to the man. However, the man and the woman escaped to the home.
Therefore, both persons were living in a unknown home, until when the owner family arrived, for the scare and surprise for to find to strange people, the owner sends to the prision to the young. Here is the part of movie most beautiful for me, because the man started to feel his body, and he achieves, mm I don't know like to say that, but he achieves fuses with the space, something like that if his body become like a phantom so light that the other persons don't can look him.
In this way, the man escapes to the prision and returns to the woman' home. The woman and the man can are together, and the husband don't gives count of that.
I have talked about the forms of the movie, but all the story is full of expressions, the gestures shows that the love cans be communicated by other things apart of the words or the contact. Here the words are not neccesary for to demonstrate the feelings. On the other hand, the photograph is very cool, and the music too. Therefore I like very much the Kim Ki Duk's movies, because they are other form of to see the world, the oriental look is diferent becouse show us other senses, and in Occident we are adapted to the eye's hegemony and the word's power.
In conclusion, I like this movie because the dialogs is the corporal language, so ¡There aren't subtitles! and for to finalize, I like to count the last scene. In this scene the woman and the man go up on a weigth, and its marks 0 kilos. When I saw that, I thougth "ohhh", and after the scene closes saying something like "It's hard to tell that the world we live in is either a reality or a dream".
I am not a romantic person, but this movie is marvelous...

Where to go in Santiago.

Hi, I’m Daniela and I will go to be your tourist guide in Santiago.Firstly, in the morning, when the time is cool to walk, we are going to go to Moneda Palace, that is the government’ house. Then, we are going to visit under the Moneda, the Cultural Centre La Moneda. That place is very interesting, because there are many expositions about the different cultures of Chile, sometimes also there are expositions about Chilean artists, and for the evening, the centre shows movies with a ticket cheaper.The second place to visit, it will be the Plaza de Armas, because is a typical place of city centre. In the square, always suceden interesting things, is a place of surprises. Well, in front of square is the cathedral, a place of colonial architecture where sometimes the mass are of back like in the old times.As to this time it will be around 12 PM, we are going to eat in the Mercado Central. This place is very popular, above all for pass after New Year “la caña”.Then of lunch, you don’t should leave to visit the Mapocho station, because here not only is The Fine Arts Museum with works of art very interesting, also is The MAC, and a fair that is The Vega Central, a typical fair, and is The Pergola, a nice place even inspiration motive for theatre’ plays like La Pergola de las Flores had by Andres Perez’ play. So, after of to visit all places here, we are going to walk for the Forestal Park, for to arrive to Bellavista Barrio, a bohemian street with too many pubs and Lapislazuli stores. You should to see this neighborhood, because you can to buy goods chilean souvenir. Until now, we are will tired, even though it will be temprano, we could to drink some in the Altazor pub, a nice place ambientado with things about the Vicente Huidobro poet.

TRANSANTIAGO.

The new buses system, at the begining was an experience with too many problems for the people, because people didn't know how utilizing it, and the routes weren`t clear. Regarding the bad aspects about this transport we can see the bad organization for the routes, because there was not a study about the population, the places more crowded, the different timetables. This system was have only for engineers and had not it a sociologic study for to know the people's needs. Even though the Transantiago was very problematic in the first year of its departure, there are some good things. I believe that one subject very important is that there are less robberies, and in the news already we don't see deaths of drivers, this has been thanks to the new pay system without cash, but with Bip card. This system is more safety and comfortable.Other good thing is the buses's design, because it has more capacity and the system is qualified for disabled people. Althoug the design is not so good, because it was designed for highest people, so the comun Chilean person is shorter and is difficult for him to hold on the iron.From that Transantiago started, this has been changing to much, because the government has injected too many money, and also people have used. Now the transport it's ok, but lack some details that to repair.If I could some changes, I would study the society and the different needs in the different places. I would change the routes such way that the subway will be less crowded, becouse is stressful to train by subway in the rush hours. Also I would change the halts, I would engage designers for that embellish the city with creative halts.Maybe I would change also the buses's colors, because I find that is neccesary to put more game colours in the city, and the buses, being a public machine that almost all people use, it's a good urban place for to intervene in the social city, or in Santiago like an imaginary city.But, in spite of the Transantiago problems, I believe that now and in the future the government should worried also about the transport in other regions, because there isn't yet transport in insolated areas. And Santiago isn't Chile.

Some crazy.

Something that I find very interesting is psychquiatric life, because I lived for 10 years in a house near of the hospital in Putaendo town, and I grew up there and I think that I had a childhood some particular, because the only people with I could to have a relationship, were patients; and the place was surrounded of big hills and pines, the landscape was very beautiful. So, I find interesting the psychquiatric because in the hospital there are people with lifes fascinanting, like a person that was a painter, or great teacher, and also there is people that has made murders, but is people very intelligent. The mind power calls me the attention, and the effect that has te pills in the face people, I find that the expression changes, the look eyes has some particular. When I saw Fuga, a Chilean movie I liked it very much because, in general, the TV or some movies caricature to the people with schizophenia, but Fuga makes in my opinion a good portrait about this subject, because shows one brilliant man, a pianist, and the conflict that there is in his mind. But I don't like the actor!The schizophenia doesn`t affect the intelligence, in fact, I have been important artists with this illness as for example painters, writers and musician, such as Van Gogh and Edward Munch. I believe that maybe the schizophenia is related with a highest intelligence kind, a kind related with the humanist knowledge. I really think that because for example, in the house where I lived, there was a bedroom where slept a young woman, and alls the walls were ruled with beautiful poems and draws, although I remember when I was child that room give me scare.

First term: good and bad points.

I didn't like the last term, because we had courses with too much theory and nothing of job. I think that is important to write always, above all in our carrer, so I believe that we didn`t have enough writing jobs or fieldworks, all was only academy.
I liked some good courses as Linguistic and Anthropology III. And we had also other courses as Latinoamerican History, where I liked the topics, but not the teach form, in spite of that I learned too much reading the books about the American discovery, but I didn`t learn nothing in class.
One advantage was that we had a course about Phisical anthropology, becouse we had not had some related with this anthropology area, the mayority matter has been about archeology and social anthropology.
Other advantage was that I had more free time, and I can take french class and to go out more to places that I like it.
A disadvantage was that we didn't doing individual essays. I think that is good "release the hand". Even though I didn't like too much the obligatory courses, I did yoga and English 3. Yoga was useful for my horrific phisical state, and English 3 was really hard for me, but despite the fact that I learned some...I think.
I think also that the term didn`t was good for me because I had some health problems and I should did difficult exams that puted me really angry.
So, I like this term very much although some people says that this term is very social, but I am really enjoying the courses, and I am doing other things out of the university for the university life doesn't be my only worry.

A country I would like to visit

I would like to visit France. I would like to know Paris, the Louvre Museum, the Eiffel Tower, some theater, the Chartres cathedral, and I would like to walk on Montparnasse neighborhood and to visit some cafè where were some famous vanguards artists like painters as Van Goh, Lautrec, Hebuterne, or poets like Rimbaud, Baudelaire and our poet Huidobro. I like that because is a bohemian place and it has too many stories about lovers, tragedics and torments, I think that Montparnasse has to be a place full of colors.
I would like to go with my future fianceè Sandra Rebolledo, because both like us the nocturne shows, so we would visit the Moulin Rouge and bohemian spectacles like plays or opera.

I would study there, and although I know that is difficult, I am learning french because I like it very much the sound, and I like to see french movies, and because I would like to apply for a scholarship about visual antrophology or about aesthetic. But I think that is easier to dream, so for while, I am studing the language and I hear to Edith Piaf songs if in the future maybe I could to travel although it would be a travel pleasure.

My blogging experience.

I have like the blogging experience, because is an exercise that promotes the writing, the grammarian, and the ability of improvise with daily subjects. For me, this experience has been very good for “to let the hand”. But I don’t like the regular periods for to write, because sometimes in the hour class is very little for to check the text.
In general, I think that write in the blog helps too to increase the vocabulary, common words that serve us for talk about our career.
I think that the blog is a good experience for to learn English, but I think that maybe would be better that this hour class could be used for listen or talk English, and write in the blog would be homework.
Maybe would be listen in the computer conversation or to practice the talk form.
In spite of the previous, my personal experience has been good, I think that I have learned, and when finish this course; I pretend to follow writing for don’t lose the practice
.

My ideal job.


When I think about my future, I feel some anguish because sometimes I believe that will cost me a lot to find a job, because the social anthropology has many work areas, and neither of there are sufficiently developed in Chili, so is difficult that someone say you “ Oh, you will have a secure job”. I think that for to find a good job, all will depend if one have good projects and creativity. I think that for an anthropologist will be difficult to have a stable job. So, for me is difficult to say an ideal job that I will have in my future, I’ m thinking of working in many places and different areas. Some areas that interest me are the patrimony, the architecture and the art; I like the urban expressions, as the rescue of the patrimony, the clothing history, the advertising, and other things. I believe that don’t only are important for the society the health problems or the accommodation problems for example, but are important the history, the culture, is to say, not only the physical city, but the urban expressions are important for the spirit health of the society. I would like to work for example in the culture ministry, for implement politics for the abstract city.

My favorite subject

My favorite subject is Linguistic, the teacher is Cristian Prado. I like this subject because I like authors very much as for example Umberto Eco and Michael Foucault. But I specially like the semiotic, because I have read some books about the painter analysis and it is very interesting the lecture behind the colours, some objects, the lighting, and other things. The linguistic is not only for words lectures, also it is for the art and advertising for example. Any image is innocent. Other topic of linguistic is about de simbolism, I like the analysis of Middle Age above all , there the religion is very present, but not only in the painters but also in the architecture, for example in the forms of the churches. So, the linguistic lets to see farther than the appearances, the linguistic is related to the social context, in consequence, the one explains about the culture and about the human mind very much
I have learnt this semester mainly the different schools, the linguistic history. The tongue and speech difference, and their elements. In general, this semester linguistic has been an introduction subject that gives the main concepts.

Thinking my future.

Something I like think about my future, because don’t cost anything to dream! When I think about my future, my realist thoughts are that I’m looking foward to finishing my career without to fail any course, because I like to leave soon of the university.
I’m thinking of applying for a scholarship abroad, I would study in France or Spain, if I can’t I believe that I’m looking foward to studying in Chili some related with documentaries, patrimony or genre, because I would to work at the culture ministry or some a museum or institution related with the art, and specially with the quick change art like some theatre company. I hope can to do many things when I will older. Also, I’m thinking to have a Café like a little and quiet pub.
I hope to have economic stability but not only for me, but also I could to give a good pass to my parents, like to cost them travels or little pleasures because they are old now, then when they will pension off I like that enjoy their lifes.

My career

Anthropology is a very little known career in Chili, because it is relatively a new career at the universities and there are little anthropologist, archeologist and physical anthropologist in the work market.
I like this career because is an holistic discipline, it covers many subjects about the society, the history, the economic, the man's evolution, the linguistic, the genetic development and mainly about the culture. I think that this career permits to work in many different areas, but for that I think too that sometimes is difficult to cover one area in special, because all is related.
I like anthropology also because permits to create projects about indigenous communities to demand their rights, and integrate their knowledges to the urban societies. I think that is important to generate a feedback between the different cultures, and is important to know the history of our evolution for to understand our specie and to see that we are only one animal more in the planet, one animal with some special feature but the great majority of our human history has been a figth with tne nature like the figth of other animals. So, we are an special animal, but an animal more in this planet, an animal that has been making too much damage to the nature and himself.

The best in my area


I admire Claude Levi Strauss very much. He is a French anthropology, and he has done important works about anthropological problems, specialy about the relationship problem related with the incest taboo in primitives societies, and mythological problems. His theoretical work is based on the structuralism school, this theory studies meanly the relations that exist in a sistem and doesn`t study the aspect individualy.
His work also gives atention to linguistics, because to analize the relationship problem is necesary to see the terms that the persons designate to families ties, terms as for example: mother, uncle, father and son.
I admire Levi Strauss because his linguistic theory also is applied to arts problems, he has an analysis aesthetic very interesting about Las Meninas of Velasquez.
His studies has inspired to later researchers in the world as Saussure, Michael Foucault, Humberto Eco and other people.
Levi Strauss is alive yet, in fact the last year was celebrated his hundredth birthday.

Comment on a photograph you like

I will comment a Alfredo Jaar's photo. This photo is called The Nduwayezu’eyes, this photo is part of an art's instalation called The Ruanda project. Jaar is an architect, but his work is a social criticism about the consumism the capitalism, the United States's hegemony, the war and other things. His criticism is through a visual work in public spaces in the city. So, this photo in particular, shows the boy`s eyes whose parents died in the Ruanda's war. Jaar doesn`t take a photograph of dead people, or blood. No, he only catches eyes that denounce to all the deaths and the international indefference in front of african's problem, because this war was a big genocide of a tribe against the other.
I like this photo because in the instalation, there is on a table too many slides, and in each table's corner there is a magnifying glass, so the spectator waits to find or to see in the slides some cruel image, but the persons find eyes that see them, and ask them. This photo challenges to tipical images about a war, and it shows more far, shows the melancholy, the impotence, the silence of an orphan child that didn`t say nothing to a photographer, only saw him.

My last vacation

My last vacation was this past summer in February. I went with my parents from Concepcion to Temuco. We stayed us at uncle’s home in Concepcion, and near of Temuco in a hotel that was very old and strongly because gave seem of a charmed home.
Meaning we visited to familiars, we went to the cemetery of Concepcion and Lautaro (we like us to know the cemeteries). We went to Cousiño’s park in Lota and we visited our old home when we lived in Traiguen, near of Lautaro.
But, of all the things I will never forget a place: The devil’s Chiflon. We descended 40 meters under the sea’s level. We wore a helmet with an hourglass. We descended in a cage very little which only can to enter 6 persons but very cramped. A worker was the guide, he counted the history of died workers and how they were ought are crouching for to work and to eat together with mouses.
This vacation we didn’t know new places only the Chiflon, and that was for me a nice experience.

My favorite piece of technology

My favorite piece of technology is my notebook. My notebook was a birthday's give for my 19 years old. My parents bougth it me by internet in a sale the Football World Cup.
The notebook has been very good and useful for me, because like I don't live in my home, at the beginning I needed to travel all the weekends for to have my works, but with my notebook all started to be most easy, because I could to travel less or take it with me to everywhere.
I use my notebook for too many things, mainly for to do class's works, too for listen to music, to see movies, to read books that I take from internet, to write letters, to see photos, and other things.
I care too much my notebook, because without it I don't know what I do, it's very importat for me, but actually my noteebook has a virus and I can't connect it to internet.
Now, I am knitting some like a bag for to keep it, because I should to care too much when I transport it in my backpack.

My best friend

My best friend is Nicole, I met her the first day of class, when we entered to study Art' history at the University. When I met her, she ask me about the classroom, because she was lost and me too. After we separated because both us moved to other career.
My dearest memory about her are a lot, but I remember when she traveled to my home for one week, and we went out to many places.
The thimgs I like about her are that she is very creative, she's a very happy person and she likes the art, then we go out together to museum, art exhibition, plays and other things. She's a very intelligent person and I learn to much with her.
The thing I dislike about her is that she doesn`t call me, she ring me, but then, she put down the phone for I will ring her.
The greatest adventure we had, was when we went to the beach and the travel in a bus was very bad, we took too long for to arrive to the town.
I envy about her that she can to do too many things with her hands, she has manual hability, and for me it`s difficult to do some things.
If I could, I would give her a melodic or small balls because she practices juggle, and she has very talent.

About me.

I’m Daniela, but everyone calls me Dani or Coni for my second name. I’ m a 22 year old.
I’m anthropology’s student. I’m from Traiguén, Chile. Now I live alone in Santiago with friends, because my parents live in San Felipe, I visit them some weekends, but I miss so much my pets, Morfeo and Agatha.
In my free time, I really like listen to music, to read, like novels, art’s books and the poetry, I prefer to Vicente Huidobro, Neruda and the damned poets. Also I like to see movies, I love to Kim Ki Duk’s films and the chilean independents movies, I like to draw in my old notebook, and I try play the piano, but I can’t play it very well. And when I have much time, I try to embellish with russian stitch, but to do all the things that I like, now is difficult because I have to study really much.
