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).

Fiestas Patrias (: tikitikiti

Hi blogs. Today I will write about Fiestas Patrias :). First, I want to say that I like the Fiestas Patrias, because are public holidays. Therefore, the people are engaged to celebrate, eat and drink in larger quantities haha and rest. I normally celebrate the Fiestas Patrias with my family during day, my daddy generally makes a roast with much meat and my mommy makes salads and pies. In the night I go to "fondas" or "ramadas" for dance and drink "terremoto" with my friends of Melipilla. 

In the last year. I went to the "Fonda FAU" in my university, in the last week to Fiestas Patrias, but in the week of Fiestas Patrias I share with my family -dad, mom, brother and grandmother-, my friends -Romi, Cata and Maca- and my cousin Camila. I, my friends and my cousin we go to a "ramada" in Melipilla, near my house. There, we danced cumbia and cueca haha.

The best Fiestas Patrias I remember was when I child, I remember that all my aunts (eight women)  by part my mother came together for make much Pasteles de choclo ñammmi. This day I enjoyed, because I like see the family together and my mom happy.

Regarding to the typical activities, I think that are important, because this things speak about of ours roots or origins, culture and history. On the other hand, I think that the Chilean rodeo should not exist, because is a animal maltreatment.

A teacher

Hi, bloggers. Today I will write about a teacher I remember. This teacher is my biology teacher. She is called Alicia but everyone called "Tía Alicia" <3. Well, the Tía Alicia was our Biology teacher and boss teacher in all secondary school. She was a good teacher but she spoke very quietly, nevertheless, I like the Biology so I enjoyed much of the class.

At first the relationship of the class with the Tía Alicia weren't good, because my schoolmates mocked or did not pay attention to the class. This occurred because she did not represent authority...she spoke very quietly and is a small woman of height. Besides she causing laughter when was angry, because said us very loudly "CALLENSE SOPENCOS" haha.

However, in passage the years we were growing fond of it, because she is a very noble, good, natural and simple person :). Even, she decided at the end accompanied us to Brazil for the study tour... that was great because at first she not want to go. In the study tour all enjoyed much and relationship affection grew with the "tía".

In the last year, she decided go to other school :(. We ask to her that not out but she had all ready. I remember much sadness those last days and when the day she said goodbye, all came cried :(((. 

A family mean

Hi bloggers, today I'm going to tell you about a family meal I remember. It's was in february this year. We get together for dismiss to my aunt Leslie, my uncle Antonio and my cousin Sebita. They are going to live to Peru, because Toño (my uncle) is peruvian and he have all family there. Also, because they want other lifestyle and they were bored of Chile.
The family meal was great. My dad, my mother, my aunts -Paty and Leslie-, my cousins-Camila, Martina, Felipe and Sebita- and me went. The "adults" cooked. My daddy make a roast and my aunts make very salads. In fact, I remember and I get hungry haha. When we were all in the table, my grandfather had prepared something special for my uncles and Sebita. He bought papers that had sentences very nice for they, that we (the cousins) had to say. I remember my aunt Leslie cry of emotion hahaha <3. This and the meal I enjoyed, but after I wanted go go go, because various relatives got drunk and they started to sing the national song and talk of Pinochet (they are right and like Pinochet...). In spite of this was nice dismiss to my uncles and cousin and  wish a good trip :).
