English Challenges

I think this subject is very important in the University and life... knowing english you can go anywhere! comunicate with any people! it's so useful.
And this class in this year was very fun 'cause de blog sessions. The use of the blog is useful too, because makes you increase your ability to write in this lenguage.
An aspect that I need to improve of my english is the vocabulary and fluency. I think a need to talk more english, because I understand almost all that I listen and read, but the moment that I talk with someone, I began to be lost and confused looking for words that I know to explain but I don't know to say... I think I can fix this practicing, going to places that only speaks in english, etc. so my plan is doing that ¡Travel a lot! I will like to study in other countries, and travel and discover new cultures, and english is very important to comunicate all that I think and I want to say. And well, I like to watch movies and series in english, so maybe I will watch it without subtitles! Good idea...

My favorite English serie. I love there accent!

Outside the English class, I didn't often use the english speaking... only in rare situations like when tourist asks you where is any place, or when a foreigner music professors comes to give us a conference or a meeting in our University.

I will like to continue learning english in other places, is important to learn this lenguage. But I like other lenguages too like portuguese and french.. those lenguage sounds so well. I feel more close to portuguese, because I like brasilian music like bossanova, samba, chorinhos and capoeira. And I went to Brazil once.. three years ago!

I hope, in the future, be a polyglot woman :)

Reflections about this year

New year is comming, so all the stores, channel televisions and people in the world talks about this... just like this english class hahaha. I think I like so much the cycle changes, to pass stages of my life, but I don't like so much this holidays, not for the holiday itself, but I never know what to do, where to go or how to celebrate this party! So generally I go were the wind goes haha and my experiences have not been amazing or unforgettable, like I heard from friends or people around.

This was a difficult and powerful year ( the "Goat Year" according to chinese horoscope, my year) full of ups and downs in all topics of my life, a year to think about my pass and future, a year to make decisions an changes, leave things (important things) to give me time to rest, to travel far from Santiago, to question my way of being, my spirituality, to know my body, do new sports and take it to the edge, and begin a journey to find who I am and what I really like to do (...I still not knowing)... Well... I think this is an eternal search for all our lifes, but this year, I realized it deeply .

I think this kind of years can be used to make deep changes and choose another roads in lifes, make us strong and give us more points of view to make decisions. This year I discover that this sentence is true: "After the storm, comes the sun"

Alex Grey is so eloquent when I try to explain my feelings with an picture hihihi

Summer Plans

This year I don't  have enough money to make an incredible journey around the world haha so I decided to travel at the same place that I go almost every year: Caburgua.
I went go to Caburgua since I was a little baby... there is my granpa's house, a beautiful and small house in the middle of a hill 600 meters to de lake's beach. This year the "black beach" (Playa Negra) will be closed for repairs , so, all Caburga would be more empty than other years, and that's good for me, because: less people, less chaos, less noise, etc. I mean, Caburga beach will be paceful (I hope haha).

Me and my brother in Caburgua wen I was a little girl

This summer, I would like to be with my boyfriend because last summer I travelled alone (and my bike) to La Serena and Coquimbo. Was an amazing experience, but this your I would be acompannied (:
I think I dont have plans for this journey, I like the improvisation. Besides, around Caburga there are a lot of amazing places to go. Hills, lakes, mountains, parks, rivers, and more. I love Chile's south, so much vegetation,landscapes an his sounds... all full of birds and other animals *o* So I can swim, do treking, run, walk a lot.

I spect to rest this summer, I need it. Maybe I'll take driving lessons or act with my theatre compaing or my children's music trío.... but the other time: rest and enjoy (and eat haha).

Money

How important is the money for me? Well, more than important I prefer to say that money it's necessary, because we need it to buy basic things to live in this world: to eat, to dress, to have health and access to basic rights. But I think the money is guilty of all the wars and tragedies in this world, because it generates hate, competition and greed in people who wants more and more power, without concerned in people's lifes.

But in this post I have to talk about it, so, here we are...

I spend my money in clothes, instruments and musical stuff. I hope, in the future, I would have enough money to bought me a house and travel a lot. If I were millionaire I think would spend it to help my family, travelling through Latin America, study other things (like other musical degrees) and live in a beautiful department or house in Santiago. But always having the necessary to live. No more, no less.

If I ever had to pawn any of my belongings, I think would be my musical stuffs like keyboard or my sound interface because is the more expensive that I have hahaha

Conclusion: money (sell and buy) its the only type of economic system that currently works in our context, so we have to deal with it. Money is dangerous, we help and damage us at the same time. We have to be careful.

Reduce-Reuse-Recycle

After seeing many movies about our world environment, contamination, read articles about our uncontrolled  consumism  and waste, I get consience about this topic. So, in my theatre company began to think how do we help to do consience in my country, through the music and theatre. After a long time we create our stage play calls : "Verdedero Vertedero: una aventura recicable" , a story about a little girl who arrives in a dumping place and know funny characters, she discover that place was a very conscient and clean city but one day, everything change...
This play we create to do conscience about the importance to reduce, reuse and recycle. The escenography and dresses are doing with recyled objects from bottles, woods, cyber-trash, sacks, etc. ( I created the music).

I think this is my education contribuition about it.

In my habits I think I contribute riding bicycle ( a lot!!) and not using plastic female towells (I use fabric towells). Not long ago in my family recycled in separated  garbage cans all kind of materials (glass, plastic, paper, etc) but when we moved out in a smaller house and today we don't have space to put de cans :( .

I think that we live in a unconsience and dirty world , but, I hope that in the future we will be different. We need education about it, and public politics in all countries to make a new culture.

My future job

Well, this is a difficult topic too (like the previous post) because I don't like to think in an especific job in my future, because at this moment I don't know what I want to do in my future. Also, I study music, so the working field is very short in this country and the music is not value like a serious job like other proffessional labors. And, I like other topics too (not only music).

So, a will to talk about an imaginary and ideal future that I want to have, without an especific job.
In my future job I want  work as much outdoor us indoor, the important thing is don't feel me caught in my labor. I will like to travel a lot, know other cultures and landscapes. I will have timer for myself, to read, draw, do sports... learn about my experiences, study other things and open my mind. I want to have an impact to my society and reality, to be a contribution in my context, I mean, give my little contribution in this world to make it more graceful and fair.

There are a lot of things that I want to do! But I can't do everything hahaha so actually I'm in a period to think a lot about it :)

B.F.F.

Wow! It's so difficult to choose a best friend. During all my life I had a lot of different bests friends, and actually I have a lot of friends that are very importants to me. Like Francisca, Micchela and Bárbara we are friends since 8 years ago, ¡or like Melanny since 13 years ago!. I have good friends in my University too, like José, Andrés , Alfonsina and Paolo (the last, my boy friend since 4 years ago). And I consider my friends my mother, father and brother too ( we have very good relationship).

Like you read, I have very nice people who supports me, in the good and bad moments in my life, but if  I have to write and choose one, I think I will talk about Micchela.
We met in 2009 in my school (Liceo 7 de niñas), but we began to be friends in 2010, our last year in that (terrible) place. And was love at first sight hahaha. We actually support each other, in all topics of our lifes, we have a lot in common, we like to go out and walk, talk, visit museums, parks, libraries, fairs, concerts, we like to discuss about politics, society, art etc. We were together in important desicions and moments... well... is a good partner :)
