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.
