What I Did Today (December 10th)

I remember this date, I remember several things happened. First I went of class since I had to pay the bills, otherwise the company cut off the supply of electricity and gas. This same day I sold strawberry juice, I went very well. The funny thing is that the money that I received I had to occupy it to pay the locksmith, because I left the keys in the house. Now is funny, but in this moment I was very angry with myself, but once again I realized that money comes and goes. 

This day too I went to see a documentary about anti patriarchy, I went with a friend, he that now is my partner. I remember that we talk a lot about this subject, too many things about the life and the political-economic system what alienating the human. I feel that in that moment we connected.

                                                                   
                                                                    Goodbye 2015!

If I had to define this year in one word, it would be intense. This was a year of learning, it is true that life itself is a learning process, but the situations I lived this year have penetrated deep into my being.

The year began very quiet, I was traveling the two first months, this was time of know myself. The following months I enjoyed the love with my partner. We returned after a breakup of eight months, now was love more mature. But we were wrong again, we forget respect the individuality of each. The problem was that we were no longer just us two. We had to take a decision very complex, because both though completely different. Finally, and after much discussions, I gave up. Now that I reflect on this, I feel what I did was for love and it means letting go of what I wanted, fot privilege the good of others. This lesson has meant much pain for my. But I feel that this new year will be the moment of pick all learnings, will be the moment of enjoy this, this was what I thought when I was more sad and it was what helped me to move on. And now I know that's life, sometimes sweet and others times sour, just need to be calm and learn from each experience.

A party

I remember a party where I enjoy a lot, this was in Valparaiso for “Encuentro Latinoamericano de Estudiantes de Geografia” (ELEG) on October of the year 2014. In the same date was the carnival “Mil Tambores”, in this participated the batucada’s FAU (Sonido de Lucha), here plays some partners of geography. They arrived with your drums at camping where we were with the people of ELEG. The first night they plays and the party start, was beautiful, all people dancing at rhythm of drums. Each was in your “volada”, enjoy the music. Each was enjoy, without worrying about anything else. Really, for my, this moment was magic. We were camping in a beautiful place: this was a natural conservation park in Laguna Verde. This had a lot of vegetation, I love it. This day I met a Colombian girl, Carolina. She was very sympathetic, we had fun talk and dancing. We still talk, thanks to facebook. I want to travel to Colombia next year and Carolina said me that go, that she give me house. Besides Carolina, I met several people, with some I play Andean music. For all this things, I enjoy a lot this party.  

A subject that i like!

Good morning teacher and partners, in this opportunity I tolk about a subject of geography that I like. This is “Gestión integrada de zonas costeras” (GIZC), it taught me Andrea Cabezas, she’s geography and works doing a projects for an integrated management between all the elements, actors and instruments of the coastal zone, is a way of understanding the coastal system as a whole.

In this course I learned to make an integrated analysis of the coastal zone, I learned that every system is different, therefore each management plan should be done by analyzing the characteristics of each ecosystem, this will require working directly with the community. For me, this meant a great learning experience, as this can be applied to all areas of geography. Besides all that, I liked the course because Andrea taught us many methods of how to do this management directly in the territory, a fact that is missing on other courses, where only teach the theoretical.

There is not anything in particular that I did not like the course, just the fact of not being able to attend all classes, because I had to work, but that's my responsibility. 

In the future I would do my practice with Andrea, I feel her as a person and as a professionalis is someone from whom you can learn a lot.

So partners, when you have this course, I recommend you take it seriously, go to class and read the text, you learn a lot, it will be a big step in this road to become geographers.

A nice place

Hello teacher and partners, today I will talk about a place that I like to go. This is the “Estadio Nacional”, in particular a fields located between Marathon and Guillermo Man. All my life I lived in this neighborhood, so these courts became my garden. There used to go with my father, my brother and our dogs. We were going to play ball, jogging and playing with the dogs. In the summer, when Santiago and your cement become unbearable, this is an ideal place to be, its trees and grass help regulate temperature, plus there are hoses with watering and end up being the play of several of us. I love it, it's that little green space where I start when the city collapses and I need to connect with nature. It is very quiet, especially in the week, the weekend occupy the fields for the tournament of the commune and full of families barbequing, drinking beer and watching football I like this, but I prefer the quiet and solitude. Now I'm not as much as before, in fact I'm not going years with my father and my brother, I started to go alone, to think, smoking marijuana, playing dulcimer and disconnect the rhythm of this city. The last time I went with a friend, it was nice, we had not seen in a long time and there we could talk and laugh for hours. Hopefully this space continues to be open to the public and not privatized as with everything in this country.

I wish...

For some time I have wanted to have a garden at home, but for various reasons I have not been able to make. The main reason why I want to have the garden, is the poor quality of food offered by the market today, where you just have food contaminated by pesticides and other inputs used in the industry agronomy. In addition to the garden give me a healthy diet, it can give me herbs that will serve as medicine for diseases. I would also put flowers in the garden, I love them, I am filled with happiness just to see them and smell them. And obviously would give a place a flower, that in my opinion, is the most beautiful and the most I like: marijuana.

I have already started with the construction of the garden (which I want to do with disposable materials and organic), so far I have planted marijuana and I've gotten some organic seeds of different species, so I'm on track !!

A Restaurant

Good morning friends !!

This morning I am going to write about a little peruvian restaurant (sp) what I like to go. In this moment I have really hungry and remember the restauratn mke (sp) my stomach sound (wf). Well, the restaurat is called "El Puroperú", his owners are peruvians and many of the workers also are preuvians. This restauran be (t) on Av. Macul between Los Platanos and Quilin, it is at two bloks of my hause (sp). I like this restaurant (sp)  because the food is very tasty, specially for the condiments; you can eat meat (calf, pig chicken (p)), fish or shellfish, also they have seviche, aji de gallina, the (p) plates are with rice and delicious sauces. To finish the lunch I like to eat dessert, specially Suspiro Limeño. The last time I went to Puroperú was the last weekend with my mother who invite to me (p). In others times I have been go with my grandmother when she (p) comes to Santiago to visit us, or also with my friend or my mother's friend or with a lot of family.
Also, in the restaurant (sp) put good music, traditional peruvian music or in some times music of another country. The decoration is too simple, just some painting or postal of Perú, I remember one of Macchu Picchu. I alway (sp) have been feel (t) confortable (sp) in that place.
The Puroperú restauratn ar (sp) twice (ww), and the other is located in the same Av Macul but toward the north on the intersection with Los Alerces. One time I went with my mother and cousin to the other local.
