Why I'm Studying...

Hi bloggers. Today I will write about why I decided to study subject I chose. Well, the true I never thought studying Geography, in the high school I liked "Geography", but this was very different to the Geography at university. I thought studying Art History, nevertheless, after I give up that idea because there isn't field of work :(, besides I found out that the people that study this career only do so for hobby and because have much money that not need working.

When I did the PSU for go into to university, I not knew what studying until the day of the postulation of careers. I remember that my cousin Camila said me to go where a friend of she, because he studied Geography in the Universidad Católica and he could give me information about career. I went to visit him and I loved all said me about Geography. I found a subject interesting, above all, the fields haha, I liked idea of know others places. 

Now that I'm student of Geography I like the subject because the career includes the aspect human and physical space. I think is very complete in this sense. Although I dislike working in the programmer Arcgis because is very difficult for me :(.  

I intend to do once I graduate of go to work south of Chile. I think will work in the beginning in a public organism but after I would like do my business mixing the Geography with tourism.

Something you are proud of

Hi blogs. Now I going to talk you about something I am proud of. I think I am proud of myself because I have endeavored enough for achieve the goals proposed in life. All goals proposed relate to the academic field. My first goal in the high school was obtain a mark six or over six, because to enter college you take into consideration the "NEM" (Notas de Enseñanza Media) and only over six you go up the score. I must say that I achieved this goal during the four years in secondary, which increased the score of NEM =).

My second goal proposed was study for exam of entry to college called PSU for have a good score and I enter to a state university. I studied alone, without help of a pre-university. I remember that I printed trials of previous years or I made online manner.

Finally I got the goals proposed: I had a good score in PSU and I enter to a state university. I feel proud of this, because was a long road and not easy for get my dreams. Besides, I was the first daughter, cousin, nephew, grandchild, in go to a state university and pay nothing. All my family congratulated me.

I wouldn’t like to do it again haha. One time is sufficient.

Donnie Darko

Hi bloggers. Today I will write about Donnie Darko film. I watched the movie three years ago and at the time I found great film but very strange. I believe did not understand nothing haha, nevertheless, it was so fascinating for me all symbols and "clues" that gave us the film through pictures and conversations that I did not understand, because seemed "incoherent" and I could not relate. But in my inner (?), I knew everything was related, so I started to research about of meanings and explications it had and also to watching film many times, for I realize of the symbols and the meanings of the script.

Such was my "obsession" for Donnie Darko I made a portrait painting of Frank haha but this painting is not as good u.u

When I watched the film again but with English subtitles in English class I understood better that three years ago with Spanish subtitles haha, but I think is difficult understand the first time.

Today I still think the film is fascinating and very interesting; I like that in the beginning leave you pensive and after it invite you to reflect....it makes look beyond what is to first sight.

A Exhibition

Hi bloggers. Today I will write about a exhibition I went to. When I and my friend Camila were in high school we liked travel to Santiago some weekend for visit many museums, because in Melipilla there is none :(. In one of this trips we went to a exhibition in 2011 of different plastic artists in the Museo de la Solidaridad Salvador Allende, localized in República neighborhood.

We wanted go to this museum, because we love to Yoko Ono haha and this museum had a work of art of her, but also we wanted go because we seemed interesting know this museum, which has paints, engraved, tapestries and photographs that were donated by artists from around the world amongst 1971 and 1973 for express support to government of Salvador Allende.

I remember it was a Sunday very nice and Santiago was empty and it was great walk for streets of city. Besides, when we arrive to museum, we found very cute, because was an old colonial home with a grand wood staircase  <3. The museum was also empty, in fact, I with my friend were alone in the museum and we felt like in home haha. I remember that in the beginning there was a section of voice recordings of Salvador Allende and other of photographs of goverment his. In second floor, were all works of arts and they liked me enough, especially the of Yoko Ono -a chess table with two chair called "play it by trust" - and of Roberto Matta -called "Hagámosnos la guerrilla interior para parir un hombre nuevo".

Something I'm reading

Today I'm gonna write about something I'm reading at the moment. I love reading, but this semester has been complicated read because I have not organized my times :(. Nevertheless in this moment, I'm reading a book called Sweetness and Power: The Place of Sugar in Modern History by Sidney W. Mintz. The book belongs to academic genre, since is a book of anthropology, written by an anthropologist. 

I don't knew this author but I realized that Mintz is an engaging and persuasive writer, and this analysis is a classic in food studies

I'm reading this book because I have to do a book review for a elective subject called Political Ecology and geography of commodities (my favorite subject this semester haha).

I like the book, because, is a interesting analysis of the multiple facets of the history of sugar (production, consumption, power distribution, etc.). I think is important know about how the sugar became a food so important in our lives and daily diet (everything has sugar). Besides, always is good learning something new and reflect about of this. 

Mintz gives a detailed and informative history of the development of sugar as a commodity from the colonial age to the present. Coming from an anthropological point of view, he examines the cultural impact of sugar production on the Caribbean nations that produce it. He also displays how British organization of the industry in their colonies created an increasing demand for sugar.

After reading book I would like consume less sugar :( haha. 

A special talent

Hi blogs. Today I'm going to tell you about a special skill or talent. I was complicated find a talent own, so I asked my mom... mom, ¿what are my talents? She answers me: "You like the fashion, or rather, you like modify clothes that buy at low prices... you fix the clothes and you transform in cute clothes :)". I had not realized of this but is true, I like modify clothes that in the beginning is not attractive for people.

This "talent" is useful because I spending little money on clothes that I like wear, also because I enjoy create different and alternatives garment. In fact, thank this talent I have a shop online :).

Now only my family know about my talent because I discovered recently, in addition I don't like speak about of the things I do to people.

I don't know how I acquired this talent, but I think that I was developing this year with create my shop <3... And the girls like my cute clothes and buy haha. Nevertheless, always I liked observe and analyze the styles of each person y how clothes represent them. I think is interesting. On the other hand, I don't like the people who are obsessed with the fashion because I believe aren’t normal nor healthy. It's only for have fun (?) :).  

A group activity

Hi blogs. Today I will write about a group activity I like to do. This activity is dance with my friends -Romi, Cata and Maca. They are my team dance haha and we like dancing different types of music, such as reggaeton, salsa, cumbia, bachata, etc. I like go to dance with they, because are my best friends and I know them since young.

The first time that we went to dance were in 2010 when we had 16 years old... in third year of secondary. This activity I involved simply because to the 16 years my parents give permission me for go to partys with my friends, nevertheless, always I like dance, in fact, I remember that when I was a child I like dance axé (rhythm brasileño) and the music of a programm of televisión called Mekano haha.

I like dance, because I feeling free and not think in nothing, only let move my body to rhythm of music. Now, I will like go to a dance academy in Santiago and dance girly style *o*… is my dream but I can’t because the classes are very expensive for my pocket and the pocket of my mother, so for now only I dance in parties (pipipi).
