My time line


  1. My birth. 8/03/1995. Here starts everything. At least everything to me. I opened my eyes and realised that I was alive.
  2. My little brother birth. 20/02/1999. A new member of my family were born and the only thing I wanted was be with my mother. Maybe I was a little bit jealous at the beggining, but then he became my games partner, my confident, my little everything.
  3. My first pet. 1999. My first pet was a chicken. I loved it. I thought it was cute. Once I cleaned him up in the toilet. Luckily he survived this time, but he didn't have the same luck one sunny day that my babysitter closed his box, and he died.
  4. My first day at school. 5/03/2000. A new world was opening in front of my eyes and I can't contain my excitement. I made my first best friend that day. It was awesome because we used to fight, but then we come back with our looks down and was like "lets be friends again?" and everything return to the normality.
  5. My first confrontation to the death. 21/02/2004. My grandfather died early and we all were sad. This time was the first time that I thought about death, religion, god and life after death. I think that it were my first time that I philosophize. It was a huge moment for my life.
  6. My first performance of theatre. 2007. I always was curious about artistic disciplines. In that year I joined in a drama workshop. At the end of the year we did a dramatical piece and we presentated it in the municipal theatre of Valparaíso.
  7. My first boyfriend. 03/10/2008. It is always funny and cute. Maybe too much tender. In my case it was very short (it longs no more than a month) but I can say I had a lot of fun.
  8. When I become vegetarian. 10/10/2008. This day is determinated by the first day I went to a nutricionist and she made me few recomendantions for me to be healthy. So then I stoped to eat meat until forever (until now at least)
  9. My first band. 2009. I always loved to sing. I was going to singing lessons and one day few friends invited me to join them into a band. The band name was "philipankis". I didn`t knew the reason, but it was. I really enjoyed the time I passed singin with them.
  10. My first long boyfriend 09/07/2010. There's not enought lines to talk about the way he made me feel in all the time we were together. I can say I loved him, I can say I loved to spend time with him and I enjoyed a lot his love and his kindness. We were together two years and a half. I learned a lot with him.
  11. My first literary award. 23/09/2013. I writen a story and I sent it to the literary competition "cuenta providencia". I never thought I was going to win, and in the premiation I couldn't believe it. Was awesome. 
  12. My first long journey without my parents or teachers. 02/2014. This year I went by autostop to the south of Chile with two friends. I had a good time, I learnt more about my land and my people, and I enjoyed this journey a lot.
  13. My first real job. 02/2014. I joined to work at "ciclorecreovia" in the circuit of providencia two. I love the iniciative, the pay is regular and I enjoy going to work. The only bad thing is that I can't go to party relax on saturdays becouse on Sunday I have to wake up at six.
There is a lot of another events, but I had to choose. Thanks for reading.

A song I like


The song I choose is Manifiesto by Victor Jara. He was a Chilean teacher, theatre director, poet, singer-songwriter, political activist and member of the Communist Party of Chile. he developed in the field of music and played a pivotal role among neo-folkloric artists who established the Nueva Canción Chilena, movement which led to a revolution in the popular music of his country under the Salvador Allende government. I think he was a complete man as an artist and also as a human. His creation was, for me, magnificent and his legacy is huge. Sadly their songs were too much confrontational for the government and they killed him in the beginning of a dictatorship.  
I think the song is beautiful.
Manifiesto, as it sounds, is like “poetic art” of victor’s music. In this song he shows the whole ideology of his art and the way that he makes it.  His songs tell us about social justice, freedom, love, peace… Things that we should never forget and I think that them are reasons that is worth to fight for.   

Lyrics:
Yo no canto por cantar
ni por tener buena voz,
canto porque la guitarra
tiene sentido y razón.

Tiene corazón de tierra
y alas de palomita,
es como el agua bendita
santigua glorias y penas.

Aquí se encajó mi canto
como dijera Violeta
guitarra trabajadora
con olor a primavera.

Que no es guitarra de ricos
ni cosa que se parezca
mi canto es de los andamios
para alcanzar las estrellas,
que el canto tiene sentido
cuando palpita en las venas
del que morirá cantando
las verdades verdaderas,
no las lisonjas fugaces
ni las famas extranjeras
sino el canto de una lonja
hasta el fondo de la tierra.

Ahí donde llega todo
y donde todo comienza
canto que ha sido valiente
siempre será canción nueva.

Summary of PUG's video


The pugs are very popular in USA. Some people think they are ugly but for the others they are irresistibly cute. They have one problem: Generally they have breathing problems (because of their anatomy) Pugs are easy company and is important to keep their faces very clean and be careful with the proptosis. Pugs are perfect with kids and training them is easy.

What's my opinion about?


  • Ø A 100% vegetarian diet?
    I think that a 100% vegetarian diet is a good way of life. Because, for me, be a vegetarian or a vegan is, more than a diet, a special way to see the world and shows a whole cosmovision. I would like to be a 100% vegetarian, but I’m only a 80%
    Ø Facebook?


  • I believe that is a useful tool but, at the same time, is a little fake world where people show themselves to the other in the way that they think they want to be, but not necessarily how they are.

    Ø Racist people?
    In my experience the things that we don’t like in the other people is just the things that we dislike in ourselves (like a mirror). So I think that racist people have to think what is wrong inside of them to fix it instead of throwing their bad vibrations to the others.
     

  • Ø Tattos and piercing?


    I like tattoos and piercing, I think that they have personality, they can mean a lot of things and also they are, sometimes, very awesome.  But I think they have to be made in a sterilized place because it is dangerous be in contact with foreign blood.

    Ø Organ donation? I think that this is a sensitive theme and is hard to give an opinion only in few lines. But, in summarized counts I agree with that, but then starts a discussion because the family of the possible donor may think that always the doctors can save them so they will fight for his life even if it is impossible or the patient will rather die.
