Huemules (Free post)

Hello everybody 

A topic very interesting that sprang to my mind is about South Andean deer or huemules. Their scientific name is Hippocamelus bisulcus due they belong to the Cervidae family, i.e., they are members of deer like caribou, moose, taruca or red deer. They are located in the south west side of South America covered by both Argentina and Chile (specifically in the Southern Andes and its surroundings), even the Coat of arms of the second country appears this little giant animal in one of its sides opposite the condor. Therefore, huemules are the world's most southern deer. 
Thanks for their location and their ancestry as herbivorous animals, their diet is made up of shrubs, grass, tree shoots and lichens. Besides, their fur is thick, dense (for surviving the snowy weather in winter) and beige to dark brown coloured with the purpose of camouflaging as in large forests as in high mountain scrubs. 
In spite of being an animal very emblematic for Chile and Argentina, its habitat was reduced by the growth of human settlements, the construction of motorways, the insertion of foreign species and its unjustifiable hunting. Even the number of huemules is so intense that they are considered as an endangered species. However, in both countries has established many national parks and nature reserves for leading their protection of such causes. In my personal opinion, I wish they (as every animal in the world) could be protected by all of us for giving them their right to live freely in their habitat.

Learning a language with a blog

Hello friends,

Today I'm concerned to talk about my experience of using a blog in English. Thinking about all blogs that I've posted in the last months, I found some patterns that highlight my way to become thoughts in words in this language. Though I usually think in Spanish and write words in English, I try to think with English words before of writing many posts as a little target to manage better this language.
Another pattern that I find in the world of blogs is that I usually comment on my classmates and teacher's posts. I realized that it's a good way to express onself's thoughts to others' ones making a virtual peaceful coexistence.
The blog that I enjoyed most in reading was my teacher's posts, because I've learnt new words and phrases that they willl very helpful for my development at this language.
My favourite post was undoubtedly about "the country I like to visit" because here lies ideas and arguments as basis for knowing nations which have got quite different cultures that we live daily. Therefore, I think that post I had more freedom to express ideas due I've got a better management on this topic such as future goals.

I think blogs are a good way to learn languages because you can assimilate features as in writing, grammar, vocabulary, listening and reading.

What I did today (10th of December) 

A strange Thursday was a moment which a Field Trip began, which it consisted about to apply what we learnt on glaciology with the class about this subject. The destination was the Juncal Norte glacier located at the Andean side of the Valparaiso region, close to the border with Argentina. In spite of it’s an out-of-the-way place, it’s much better because I once else it’s possible to have a contact with nature.

First, when we were travelling by bus I started to see the imposing, outstanding and giant mountains of the Andes very close to us, which they make me thing that I’m smaller than an ant beside of those natural walls. Then, after of getting off the bus we started to walk with our outdoor equipment many kilometres to the place where we were going to camp. The walking was a little exhausting because the heat of the sunny day was intense and some ravines have got steep slopes that I always held on to my trekking stick and some rocks for not falling down. However, all the effort done during the walking was worth it because the landscape is dreamy (with snow on huge mountains and a fossil of a rock glacier in one of their mountainsides), besides of we could see foxes, guanacos, hares. At night was even more magical because it’s the starriest sky I've seen in this year, with some shooting stars that appear little by little.

Hello bloggheads:

Today is the moment to talk about a celebration which I participated before. Although I'm a not big fan of current parties themselves at present, an event which I can remember very well is an old friend's birthday called Benedicto.
This friend was a classmate from the elementary school, so I went to his birthday celebration in 2001, precisely in July, when I was 6 years old. Thus, it was a remarkable moment from my childhood because I remember the meeting of many classmates that I haven't had knowing during the scholar year.
When I hear about this kind of event it springs to my mind that came many friends and classmates of my primary school (the class was made up of only 15 pupils including me).
When we got his house for celebrating his little party, the birthday boy allowed us to play with his toy cars and planes and after to organize a hide and seek (it was the ideal place because there was a dye factory next to the house) in his neighbourhood just before he blew out the candles.
I enjoyed that because it's the first birthday celebration I have ever gone in my short life and I remember that after it we were more united as a grade. Furthermore, I recall that he lent me an atlas very up-to-date which it contained many maps of Chile with its regions.

This was one of the best parties that I have attended.

A subject from the career

Hello friends,

Now I'm concerned to show you about a subject from the career I've studied. The subject I'm going to talk about is the Local Climatology and it was taught by the teacher Mauro.
Some important legacies in knowledge that let me the subject was for example the Palaeoclimate which it describes the different atmospherical stages since the creation of this air layer (approximately 4 billion of years ago) until conditions similar to nowadays (after the last Ice age) with their evidences as in pollen as in ice cores. Besides the Palaeoclimatology makes attempts to find the causes of the big climates changes throughout the Earth history by the movements of this planet respect to the Sun or the volcanic activity. Of course, it had impacts in the distribution of living beings (which it's probable they had similar patterns that the current ones but at a different scale, all depending of whiat kind of animal or plant was the dominant one in the world) as in the continents as in specific zones for example the both sides of a mountain or a valley. Additionally, it had impacts in the topography during the Ice ages. For example, when glaciers were bigger and they had a major distribution in the world they were able to change the shape of valleys intensely. Some of the evidences are the Norwegian fjords, Southern Chilean fjords or many valleys in the Andes and the Alps.
What I liked most about the course was about the topics themselves which they were completely interesting to answer many questions about the nature.
Undoubtedly, what I disliked a little about the course is sometimes I was sleepy during the class.
Thanks to this course at last I could understand about the rhythm of growing of plants according to climatic conditions and calculate the day of their germination.

The mysterious place in Santiago.

Hi friends.

Thinking about a special place in Santiago I'd like to go, it springs to my mind several landmarks such as La Moneda palace, the Lastarria neighbourhood or the Plaza de Armas. However my favourite and special place all over Santiago is undoubtedly the San Cristóbal hill. This "prominent" icon is located among the municipalities of Recoleta, Providencia, Vitacura and Huechuraba. Additionally, when I always see a satellital picture of the capital of Chile, it is outlined as a green patch to the North East of Santiago, which it's forms a greenbelt.
I hardly ever go there due I've got a tiny spare time during these last months. Nevertheless, I still remember there were times when I went to the San Cristóbal hill very often as with my family as with my friends, mainly in my childhood.
During the last years, I usually go there with my friends from the secondary on Fridays night, first the meetings were instances to have a chance to talk freely about things that happened at school in the working week. However, the last two years we meet there only to talk about our daily lives.
When we are there, we climb the hill only by secret paths hidden by thick forests at night and we usually make a stop in some abandoned places to talk topics about (I remember the last time) topical issues that happened in the country. After the discussion we carry on walking in the gloomy paths until to come to a lookout point. Finally we go down the hill in order to find the way out in the Pedro de Valdivia street.
The last time I was there with my friends was approximately in four months ago.


I specially like this place in Santiago because it's possible to see the city at night.

A thing I'd like to own 

Hello Bloggers: 

Now I'm concerned to talk about a special thing I always have been wishing to own during this short life. Thinking about many things that spring to my mind, undoubtedly appears a musical instrument that I need to enhance my skill indeed: a grand piano. 
At the beginning, I mean approximately four centuries ago, a grand piano was made in order to compete with the clavichord because it had (and currently it's having) a more pleasant sound. Here lies the reason which "piano" means "soft" in Italian and at the "musician dialect".
However, now it's used to make harmonic sounds in many kinds of music, from classical to rock and I'm actually astonished how the grand piano has been remaining as a very popular musician instrument for centuries, so it's a privilege to say it's still alive facing up the advance of technology.  
I would like to own it because I want to practise everyday playing music at home and with a quiet environment. Besides I'd like to own a grand piano because it's an amazing musician instrument, its sound is unequalled and the mix between black and white colour on its design is mysterious to see. 
My favourite grand pianos that I have ever played are in my secondary school, the FAU, music shops and when pianos were in many streets of Santiago.

Someone I'd like to meet. 
Hello friends:

Now it's the instance to talk about a person I'd like to meet. If I lived in the XIXth century I'd liked to meet with Ludwig Van Beethoven, I have been listening to his music since I was 12 years old because every song is relaxing and inspiring to do my homeworks or simply to think about life.
Beethoven si well-known by his songs in the piano such as Moonligh, Für Elise or some orchesta concerts for example The Fifth Symphony or The Ninth Symphony (which it contains the Ode to Joy) and then he is one of the main mentors of the Classical Music all over the times. It's worth to say that  with Chopin, Liszt, Debussy, he was one of the main exponents of the German Romanticism.
I'm interested to know to this person from the past because I'd like to know what did he inspired in to gather the enough assurance to express a story without words, only by the sounds. Additionally, Beethoven shows how was the life like in two centuries ago and the way of thinking by the people during that far-off time.
The two main topics I'd like to talk with Beethoven are concerned about his music and his life that it was a basis for his incredible creativity that let him be ahead of the moment he lived. Therefore, I would ask him how his thoughts became in sounds which all the musician instruments within an orchesta were the protagonists and some pieces of advice to play better the piano. However, about the second topic the questions are oriented to the daily life, how he got ahead against obstacles to create his music.
Things I most admire about him are his piano songs which (for me) they overcome a little in quality to Mozart because his quality in harmony is high.

My favourite song about his music is undoubtedly Moonlight Sonata, mainly the first movement (which it's slowly and relaxing) and the third one (which it's very hard to play).

My favourite restaurant. 

Hello friends!
Today I would like to write about my favourite restaurant throughout the city that I always feel glad to go. The restaurant it's called "La Piccola Italia" (The little Italia) and fortunately it's spread in many sectors within Santiago. However, The only branch of this restaurant I've gone to is located on Amunategui (inside the downtown). I specially like this restaurant because it's able to give my favourite international food: the Italian one. The quality of spaghetti with Bolognese sauce (tomato sauce with meat) and Parmesan chesse is incredible high, this dish has been overcoming my taste about food for a long time. In addition, the restaurant offers many kinds of dishes from the boot-shaped country such as Gnocchi, many kinds of pasta and lasagna.
The restaurant is a replica of a big house located in the Tuscan countryside, because the walls have round archs made up of bricks. Upstairs it seems lightbulbs that send out light not so shine but neither so faint, so the lighting is very particular.
Additionally, there're many paitings of Italian landscapes located in all the walls of this restaurant, it's amazing to eat my favourite plate while I can see a picture of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italia is discernible.
It was a long time that I went to "La Piccola Italia", exactly many months ago when I was with my relatives and I learnt how to use the spoon while I roll the spaghetti to avoid it falls down. Sometimes I'm very predictable that I ate my favourite dish.

Now I'm hungry and I wish to go there to eat gnocchi with tomato sauce. :)

An exhibition. 

Hello friends!
Now it's the moment to talk about an exhibition that I have been liking for a long time, precisely this kind of event consisted about "languages" and it's called the "the party of languages".  This unusual exhibition is organized by the different language institutes in Santiago and the Municipality council of Providencia. The exhibition is done once per year, but I only attended coincidently once in October 2012 and it was made in the Balmaceda Park (if I attend it this year, I wish it could carry out at the same place). Apropos the languages taught at the exhibition were English, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Hebrew and Russian. I saw there were many stands which each one represent one country with a institute language in Santiago, while on the grass there were teachers of those institutes teaching to the people who had interest to learn a little about a foreign language. Besides there were stands which show the gastronomical variety made by all countries composed by the languages taught and a scenario where artists (dancers or many kinds of musicians) made a performance one or two hours by each country. I went alone to the exhibition thought very late due I didn't know at what time does it start. However, fortunately I could take two "mini" courses before the event finished. The first mini course I went was the French lesson, during the little course I could learn at the first time some phrases concerning the daily life such as"ça va?" (how are you?, what's up?), comment tu t'appelles?" (What's your name?) and the numbers. The second lesson was Japanese, I could learn some little expressions for example "arigato" (thank you) or "ohayou gozaimas" (Good morning) and I could get a sheet to see how to write its different three alphabets.
Though I couldn't go to more mini lessons I enjoyed the little time I was during the exhibition because it was the perfect instance to know the different languages and cultures without any cost. In addition at the scenario sang a "The Beatles" tribute band (one of my favourite bands) with the song "A hard days night", which I liked very much.

The best field trip I have ever had.
The field trip I liked most throughout my career was the journey to the Cajón del Maipo valley, it was usefull in function to know empirically some topics given in geology lessons.
I just could remember that I went to that kind of field trip with my classmates, the teacher and the assistants, to let us to have a good way to learning.
At first, the field trip lied in many stops concerned to see the different processes that set up terraces, mountains, colours of those mountains, forests, stratums, snows and perharps (maybe it's only within my imagination) some little glaciers. I have never expected that during the field trip we were going to see and feel the snow very close to us, the last time I have touched the snow was seven years ago until that decisive moment. Subsecuently some stops, we had approximately one or one and half an hour free, so we decided to have lunch on some rocks and to talk about our daily life. However, the most amazing moment which lies the reason I like this field work is when we went to a little terrace where there was a lot of snow, so we decided to play throwing snowballs to, thus was the perfect moment to build little snow pyramids (I have done some pyramids with wet sands in strands but the I wanted to test with this kind of frozen water). After the wonderful break we were going uphilll until to arrive to the last stop called "Lo Valdés", I remeber the mountains looked so amazing (the stratums are so bend that they seemed waves) and the fog gave an enviroment of mystery in spite of I couldn't see the San José Volcano, I didn't realize it was so close of us until I saw that by Google Earth. Besides we started to feel a little snowstorm very cold that our teacher was compeled to order us to get on the bus.
I really enjoyed the field trip because I knew a new place that was unknown for me, I knew better to my friends and classmates and I could learn many geology pieces of information watching the result of the proceses with my own eyes.

I'd liked to find some fossils though it was impossible with the snow hahaha

My favourite geography subject
Hello blogheads!

Today my post is committed to talk about my favourite geography subject. Keeping on mind all geography subjects I studied in this career during those semesters, I notice my favourite one is geology. This subject is taught by Rodrigo Rauld in the second semester.

I specially like this subject because I like mostly the physical side of geography as a way of knowledge, thanks to geology now it's possible to understand and explain step by step many elements present in either landscape (as within Chile as in abroad) that always were a doubt before getting the course, in few words an example could be why does the Grand Canyon have lines in both cliffs. Besides it's interesting because I saw that all elements on the Earth surface such as water (solid or liquid), wind or sand are substantial to mould the relief or the tectonic forces are capable to create it (for example the existence of the Andes, Alps or the Himalayas).

Therefore, about things I've learnt to, geology was the best instance to make sense about phenomena present in the planet where we live, for example the existence of The Andes or the Caledonia mountains, fossils of many kinds of life within the history of the Earth (with the help of the palaeontology), the presence of different stages which make to order the events decisive for the whole world (The Paleozoic, the Mesozoic,etc), the kinds of volcanoes (why the lava of a Hawaiian/Icelandic volcano is different to a Chilean one), what consists precisely in an earthquake (keeping on mind we live in the world's most seismic country) or why are there minerals of many characteristics (for example the granite has a volcanic origin while the limestone is a chemical sediment very easy to dissolve it in water).

An curious piece of information is that I always remember is the difference between a rock and a stone, which the first one was moulded by the nature while the second one was modified by humans (here it makes me sense why in the world history exists the Stone Age within the Prehistory).

My favourite walk

Hi friends!!

Walking is one of my favourite activities because you discover new places without using means of transportation and you can enjoy the landscape indeed (unless when someone is late hahaha).
One of the remarkable places that marked my life is the walk I did in the Alerce Andino national park situated within the Los Lagos region, approximately 40 kilometres away of Puerto Montt to the east.
I did the walk just on the next day after I set out on a trip to the Southern Chile, precisely in the last summer holidays in this year when I was one year younger than now. My walk in the Alerce Andino national park zone was the truly first time I did in my life in this special zone of Chile, because I have never been in that zone of the country until that date.
The walk starts from the little village called Correntoso (where I happily stayed in a hut during three days), just next to a huge pasture with a lot of sheep, The distance between the village and the entrance of this national park is around 3 kilometres. In this distance, someone may go across a ravine and a river by little bridges, right there the entrance is in sight and it's possible to go into the national park. Then, there's a round path to venture into the woods during one hour minimum.
I really liked this walk because it was the harmony between the countryside and the nature itself, it was a place where I took my stress out hearing how birds sing, leaves move due the wind, animals were very nice (dogs always are good followers), the lushness of the forests (watching how tress were making an attempt to use the space the best way possible for taking advantage of the fog), the clean air and the Calbuco volcano as a perfect background. In addition, if someone walks alone there, it's the perfect place to enjoy the solitude feeling the company of the nature.
I would like to do a walk there again because I want to hear the birds singing; breath fresh air; watching trees; forget the city for a while; see how sheep, roosters and cows lead some to the others.
In few words, I want to enjoy the walk like I did it in January.

Something which was very funny was a big bumblebee was chasing me in the route haha

A work I like to do.

Hello blogheads

Hoping you are having a good day, now it's the moment to talk about a job I'd like to do. Even though I have never worked until now, I always like to have been worked as a pilot of a fighter plane (F-16, FA/22, F-15, etc). Since I was a child I was fascinated with games of which missions were related with the skill of piloting a plane or sometimes I have attended to the National Aeronautic Museum watching how diverse planes work inside the motor or the buttons for keeping on mind the functions with the plane (allerons, radar, atmospherical conditions, etc).
I actually like this job because I like to feel the high speed (over the speed of sound) with the maximum adrnaline of being aware of everything that happens outside the plane, seeing the landscape from above. Besides, it's awesome to know the several fighters planes from many countries.
The requiriments for getting this kind of job is to have mental ability, very high reflexes, to know all the atmospherical movements (for avoiding a collapse in the motor of the fighter plane), manage maths and physics (to calculate the movements of the planes within the airspace) and have a good physical state (evidently in order to bear the difference of pressure inside the ears).
I think I'm able to get this job because I know (thanks to classes at university) many atmospherical and physical laws, functions of some controls for piloting one of them, hard-wearing ears and an enduring motivation for learning more about those kind of planes.
In spite of I know nobody specific who can pilot a F-16 or a Rafale, I think the people who inspire me doing this job are fairly pilots with the faculty to pilot currently those awesome planes.

The country I want to visit.

Hello blogheads!

Now it's the moment to talk about a country that I'd like to visit in the near future. Though every country (more of 200 ones throughout the world) is authentic and admiring to visit, know its culture and language, I always have loved to go to Germany.
I have been attached to this European country for a long time. I like its culture, language (though many people consider it hard) and history with many events that is one of the reflection of the world history. Besides I like Germany because it's a developed country, with a high quality of life for living, it has good football stadiums (Munich, Berlin, Köln, Dortmund, Hamburg) for watching some Champions League matches in flesh and blood, it blends the modernity (a high developed industry in many topics) and the tradition (medieval cities and villages). Furthermore, I must remark that I'd love to visit there because I like German girls (they are actually pretty and smart), they are one of my favourite ones in the world. Finally I like Germany because I like the music of there in some styles, for example classical (Beethoven, Bach) or rock (Die Prinzen).
If I had the chance to get there someday, I want to go alone because I'm used to travel like this to every place, even though the advantage of going like this is I can meet easier with some friends I've got there.
In Germany I actually want to do many things for example to visit its landmarks (Berlin, the Neuschwanstein Castle, Köln, the Black Rainforest, Hamburg, the Alianz Arena in Munich, the Alps, among others), meet many girls and friends from there, play an ancient piano and improve my manage in German.

Arts 

Hello friends,

Art is a way of expressing the human feelings, ideals and perceptions. Thanks to art we can know our past trough the world history, how each culture, civilization and community expressed and interpreted its reality by the highest detachment or the most interior reflection by the subjectivity. 
I like arts generally (mainly paintings), I studied a bit of it when I had the namesake subject both at primary and secondary school. In the middle of 2008, one of my tasks was to paint in a small scale the painting I liked most throughout the art history, so I found this painting by chance and I was astonished by its beauty. I liked so much this painting that I looked into its information and it's called "Zebras" and it was made by Victor Vasarely, an Hungarian artist who lived in the past century. 
Firstly I like this painting because it's one of the few pieces of art that appears zebras, one of my favourite animals. Besides the background with different tones of blue stands out those zebras as the protagonists, as well as they show a feeling of complementarity, an absence of the solitude, even it's a little proof of happiness, so when I'm alone I feel good looking at this painting. 
The painting was remarkable because the artist broke the rules of the conventional art (the realism) showing how thoughts can come to life by colours and shapes. The background shown by squares (like every one was a pixel) and the zebras' lines make a high contrast in the painting that attracts attention. 
I could make a small replica of this painting for the task in arts many years ago, though I think it's not so amazing as the authentic one.

Dolphins 

Hello friends!

Today it's the chance to talk about dolphins, they are one of the most intelligent animals in the Earth. Curiously they are one of the few species who have made an "inverse evolution",i.e., though they are aquatic animals, they belong to mammals keeping on mind their ancestors come from shore. Therefore, thanks to their high adaptation in oceans and seas (as many cetaceans), they are excellent swimmers who can easily reach the speed of a torpedo.

They have already a powerful way of pinpointing as their food (smaller fish) as their mates (they usually go in groups) called "echolocation". It makes up about making low pitches that go to outside and rebound as an echo, which let them comprehend essential information about the surroundings.
Dolphins are characterized by the ability to communicate with different sounds to their mates depending of their mood. For example, when they feel very happy or very sad they usually make high-pitched sounds and just while they have an usual mood they make long noises with different frecuencies. Here is a little evidence they already use an advanced communication system.

Besides, many of them are able to protect to members who are injured or ill, assuring the welfare of all ones. One of their proofs makes up about many dolphins are able to lift to surface who have diseases for breathing.

Dolphins are one of the highest mysteries of the sea in the world where we live.

Technology 
Hi bloggers!

Though I'm a not fan of technology, I think it's very usual for our lives, even what could be our existence without the progressive technology along time? The appliance I'll talk about now maybe isn't very known or advanced but it has a high importance for me because it helped to me to survive in holidays without getting bored. This appliance is my mini electrical keyboard Casio which it was the first musical instrument I could play well.
My uncle and my aunt gave it to me when they were coming from a long trip (7 years ago) and so I was very happy for seeing this appliance with many keys and different sounds.
Its main function is making music playing the keys as someone can play piano with a high sort of sounds (piano, trumpet, organ, guitar, accordion, alarm, waves, etc).
I like it very much because here was the origin in believing that making music is possible, besides I have many good memories during Fridays afternoons making sounds of bells or when my friend (who is a good musician) helped to me to play better it four years ago. Moreover, it was the first appliance I could play Moonlight.
This little electrical keyboard is very transportable so it's easy to carry it long distances inside a shoulder bag.





My favourite place in London. 
Hello visitors!! 
Hoping you are having a good time, it's the occasion of talking about one place of the most known and admirable cities of the whole world: London. This place situated in the Britain's capital city is the British Museum.
This huge monument is in the centre of the city, exactly in the district of Bloomsbury which it's within the borough of Camden. 
For getting there by the underground, the nearest station which someone can arrive is Holborn which it's 500 metres far away of the entrance of this museum. Another option could be arriving to the Tottenham Court Road station (it's also 500 far away of the museum) but trains of its belonging line won't stop during many months. 
Fortunately for going into the museum is free, so it's not necessary to carry money. 
This museum is amazing because it covers many kinds of topics about the world and its history. Attempting to make a context: I knew at the first time about it when I was a child playing a Play Station 1 game called "101 dalmatians" and one of its stages was in this museum which its rooms showed the Ancient Egypt, the Ancient Greece and Rome, the Middle Ages in Europe (Feudalism) and the dinosaurs' time. Therefore, if I might be there, I would go to these rooms and more ones about Mexican, Chinese, Indian, Assyrian, Islamic, Mesopotamian, European, Iranian, Anatolian, African, North American, South East Asian, Japanese and Korean culture. It must say that surely I would be very happy knowing the World History by every new room I visit, it's like an adventure or joining pieces of a jigsaw. 
I'd like to visit the British Museum because it's one of the most remarkable places of London and I can learn much about the World History by its schemer civilizations. It's totally recommendable to know how humans had done their bit to help to the history.

Hi bloggers! 

Chile is known as a country with a prominent coastal extension along its American territory, thus there're many kinds of beaches from the Northern Chile to the Southern one. Among all beaches arranged in the Chilean coast (though I have been in a handful of all ones) I specially will talk about the little beach located between El Tabo and Cartagena, limited both ends by small headlands. It's situated in the Coast of Poets in between coast of Valparaiso Region, Central Chile. When I was a child I used to go there every year (in summer) with my family to a gated community called "Consistorial" which it was close to that beach. In those times I loved to make pyramids of sand; play with my little toy trains, helicopters and planes; and wet my feet with water. However, there were many years which I couldn't go. 
Nevertheless in a few years ago I could bring back memories partially from my childhood there when I went El Tabo-Cartagena beach again, though I have changed my mind from a child to a teen. Then, I changed my activities there for example I started to walk along the beach for hours until find a tree with the purpose of climbing up and watching the sea at noon, climb high dunes for watching the landscape during the sunsets and watch seabirds such as seagulls or shy curlews (they are like the ibis which appears on the Egyptian hieroglyphics).
I like this beach because it has few people during almost the whole day (even in summer); its dunes are magnificent for sitting and watching the sun, the sky, clouds (with a high movement due wind), the sea during sunsets; it has a pleasant weather during the whole year and it's a place which it's able to connect my childhood and my current time. 
I has many trees behind the dunes like a little forest which they are influenced by small impassable creeks due high quantity of shrubs.

Hi friends, 
I'm going to talk about something I have always wanted to learn to do. Particularly, I would like to learn to play the flute (western concert one). I feel like to learn this instrument because it appears in songs I like such as "Down Under" or "Canon in D" , as well as I may play it wherever I'd like (if it's possible) due it doesn't need power connection as electrical piano and it has a good melody. 
I think the measurements of difficulty for playing this instrument are not easy at all, because it needs long time for practising and its techniques for achieving a good sound are so many ones. However, I still have the dreamy day (though it could be in a thousand of years later hahaha) I see myself playing it. 
The process of learning to playing the flute must last at least 3 years, because it requires to learn about music theory for reading and performing scores besides of decisive factors I've told above such as dedication and time.
Though I bought a flute earlier three years ago by saving up money during many months and I learnt a little of fingering (by pictures) in that year, I would really need as equipment a proper teacher or interactive tutorials to enhance the sound by blowing, because it remains as the highest difficulty I probably would face during the whole learning. 
I wish to learn it during the next summer holidays when there's a lot of spare time.

Hi bloggers!
The topic I'm going to write now is about a photograph, maybe it isn't a great masterpiece jajaja but I like it very much. It was taken this year during my last summer holidays in the Alerce Andino National Park (Los Lagos Region), just at the moment when I was walking on a narrow footpath watching birds flying and hearing leaves of trees brushing due cold wind.
The photograph shows wood stairs and banisters going up the subsidence making a zig-zag surrounded by strange plants (for example the "quila" which it consist of bamboo shape blade with eucalyptus shape leaves, there're many of those kind of plants on far right and left in the picture), trees, creepers, grass, ferns and a big rock hidden. It might contain little animals such as birds but they all are hidden waiting for solitude to catch grains and insects.
I specially like this photograph because when I see it makes me remember the lonely walking I did watching birds and my unintentionally crashes with logs for being distracted jajaja Moreover it allows to my imagination to add wind inside the landscape and see how it gains life with movement. I'm keen to watch how this landscape could be shown in winter for making a comparison. Perhaps it may be snowy there.

Hello bloggers!
The topic of today is about my first day at university. First of all, it was a such challenging experience because it's a new world for discovering (I must recognise I was a little nervous on that day), it was the beginning of a new stage in my life.
I remember (as usual) I was late for going into the classroom because I was lost looking for it (I thought at that moment the faculty was a maze jajaja). When I went into the classroom I met with a classmate of secondary (Michael) whom I have been knowing since 2011, I sat next to him and we talked about previous summer holidays. When we stopped of talk, I started to see our new classmates until I found a beautiful blonde girl with blue eyes (I assumed she is an exchange student), as soon as I was astonished and happy of watching her. I told to Michael: "hey, look at the blonde girl sat in the other side of the classroom, she is very captivating!" He agreed but he was talking with a friend of him while I still was watching her. I remember just in time when she was going to talk about her one of the lamps of the classroom burnt and I couldn't listen to her name. Afterwards when classes finished, she disappeared, so I was a little sad.
In spite of I couldn't find her longer, I met new people (classmates and teachers) in time and made very good friends I admire to. Thanks them I could grow as a person and I can share ideas for surviving the university year.

Hi visitors!
Today I'm going to write about the best holidays that I have ever had until now. It happened in this year when I visited alone Southern Chile (exactly to Puerto Montt) at the first time by plane. I just bought the tickets one week preciding of the event. Although they were a little expensive it's worth the trouble, feeling how nature (clean air, trees, birds, cold wind) gives a good welcome to visitors. 
When I was just before the flight I wasn't nervous because seeings landscapes (mainly if I sat in the left side of the plane for watching the Andes) is an experience unforgettable. Then the plane took off, I felt how movement was making faster each minute that went by. I watched everything was becoming tinier until smog didn't let me to make out further Santiago. 
In this way I could see mountains that I have never imagine (though I don't know all the names of every one, I attempted to call each mountain in my way such as "cat's claw mountain", "foggy mountain", "Next to Argentina mountain."), lagoons (Maule), lakes (Calafquén, Panguipulli, Ranco, Llanquihue), volanoes (Tupungatito, San José, Villarrica, Osorno, Calbuco, Llaima), trees (little black points) by the air. The flight was an experience I'll never forget and it was all a challenge for my curiosity during the 105 minutes of trip on the clouds. When I arrived to Puerto Montt, I decided to leave the airport right away for breathing the clean air. Suddenly I took a bus which it moves me closer to the city and when I arrived to Puerto Montt's bus station I decided to feel the cold wind under a tree. On the next day I wanted to go to Alerce Andino National Park by the village of Correntoso (it's really nice, where sheep bleat you feel nature still exists), where you can hear to songs of different kinds of birds (Hued-Hued, Seven colours, Loica, etc) and see the leafiness of the forest (I saw trees such as Manío, Alerce, Quila, etc) which they give you happiness and tranquillity. 
I stayed in a hut for 2 days and then I came back to Puerto Montt for visiting some places interesting such as Manuel Montt viewpoint, Chinquihue stadium and Angelmó during 1 day.
The next day I took a bus back to Santiago sleeping all the night.

Hi visitors! 
You all are welcome for reading this interesting topic I think it concerns to nature. 
Villarica is one of my favourite volcanoes in the world, because it has the shape of Fuji Yama (the Japan's most known volcano and shown in Hokusai's paintings) and it had (now it doesn't due to its recent eruption but I still like it) much snow making a good contrast with the background (mainly exemplified with the sky and clouds). Besides it has a very beautiful forest around, thousand-year glaciers, cold volcanic rock caves (those three places make up the namesake National Park).
It's characterized for being the most active volcano (with 2847 metres above sea) in the Andes with the last eruptions in 1949, 1963, 1971, 1984 and the current year (2015). 
I have never seen it with my own eyes until I went to Villarica (city) last summer holidays just in the precursor of its eruption, and I was astonished by its majestic height standing out all the local hills.
When it unleashed the eruption throwing out lava with ash in this year I remembered nature is always wise and at the same time powerful. It warns us we ought to protect and admire the planet we live and Villarica volcano is one of its proofs.

Today I'm going to write about one of my favourite Tv programmes I've ever watched during my childhood, it's about "Godzilla the series". It lies in a baby Godzilla survivor of the combat aircraft attack against American version of Godzilla (a big iguana with a dinosaur shape due genetical mutation by atomic bombs launched in the Pacific) which it tried to invade New York City using it like a nest for sustaining its specie. The survivor Godzilla grew with a group of scientists with the purpose of being protected as national as foreign militar army attacks. However, a group of French militar and scientists tried to make their own version of "Godzilla" for fighting against the American one. Therefore, they create other large monsters (I just remember about some ones such as bat, dragon, caterpillar, grasshoper shape) which spreads in important cities of the world (London, Paris, Washington D.C., Tokyo, Hong Kong, Moscow, München) creating panic on every person from those metropolis. However, Godzilla fights against attempting to gain the tranquillity of population.
It was on during the last years of 90's and the first ones of XXIst century, i.e., it lasted two years (I was surprised because it was a very short tv programm when I watched the last episode). Nevertheless I watched it in 2001 when I was 7,  exactly when a Chilean channel broadcasted it during the whole year.
I just enjoyed it personally because I like dinosaurs or monsters like that and watching them in very known cities was something avant-garde for my imagination (it could enhance a little bit) and  I had the chance of drawing many times scenes about that tv programme on papers of my old notebooks.

Hello visitors!

Now is the moment for talking about one song very amazing for litsening which it was created in the 80's. That song is called "Bohemian Rhapsody" and I've heard it's very representative for the decade when it was composed. This songs was made by the British artist Freddie Mercury within the band "Queen".
I remember I heared it for the first time when some of my classmates from my previous school in 2011 recommended me to listen to it for making wider my musical tastes (because before of that moment I was used to like only classical music), so I would say their intentions worked.
I like this song because it mixes some music styles and the voices are very harmonic (I was very surprised that high-pitched tones was sung by the members of this band, I'm completely uncapable to achieve those sounds with my own voice), though the lyrics shows a sad story.
Moreover I like its beginning when the majestic piano with light and black keys sounds (it gives a sensation to listen to something imposing) or when I count on the presence of the electric guitar in that song when its lyrics is almost finished.
This masterpiece captivates my attention because it has different levels of tones (deep and high pitches) and my skills with the only reason of playing it on the piano someday.

Hello visitor! You are welcome to Sebastian's blog. 

I'll introduce myself during the first English class: 
I'm Sebastian, I'm 20 years old and I study geography at Universidad de Chile.

My main hobbies I like to do are playing the piano and learning new languages.

I have been playing the piano for 4 years ago thanks to the chance of using a small keyboard (with 5 octaves) which my mom has bought to me, but the moment more delightful about this issue was I bought a larger keyboard (with 8 octaves) where I started to play some harder songs such as 'Moonlight', etc.
Learning new languages is always a new possibility for opening to know new cultures and countries, so I always have had the chance of learning a new one when I have a little of spare time. My favourite languages are English, French, Esperanto and German (though the last one is really hard).
