My life in 15 year more

All my life I work for realized my goals, because this help to motivate my actions and try more hard every day, that aren’t always easy objectives, but it is important for me have them to give direction to the priorities.

My first priority is my professional life, I want my degree in physical anthropology and then continue my studies with a master and doctorate, should the opportunity I would like to work in England in the anthropology Forence. Besides a professional specialist in my field I would like to be a professional ethics and responsibility.

In the social aspect, a change of country would mean creating new friendships and personal relationships in general, but I love British culture and is a personal challenge to learn all about relate in different places. Is a test of my intelligence and abilities!

One of the most complicated things related to my dream of living in England is my family, because it not easy being away from them and would be even harder if I am in the other side of the world. Now if I create my own family, we might be a couple and one or two children, provided you have the good conditions for that.

Finally, in 15 years more, I hope to be a professional to make something useful of their knowledge in the field of anthropology Forence, working in England and, if given the opportunity, make a new friends and a small family with whom to share.

The tickets To England!

During my life I learn different thinks about British culture and then more I know, the more love the place. Maybe don’t be a perfect reason, but I think in that place and feel such as make for me. Actually I don’t have money for travel to England, if I won the lottery, i would like buy the tickets for me and my best friend.

I can’t explain, but as I described to the British and their vision of the world, I feel that this is place where I would be live. Also in different parts of the United Kingdom’s are great museums and a castle that I like to visit with my best friend. Both share a love of the middle ages and would like to visit all these places of great battle.

So, I would like go to England, not only as a tourist, also to get to know English social dynamics and all its medieval history and give my best friend a ticket to have a good holiday and learn a lot of armor.

Maybe I have no money now, but certainly I will go to England ... I'm sure!

A Strange Semester...

This year don't be perfect in the business of school for all the changes in programs and times, now I have to be learning all units of five months in two months, which is really difficult for me and my classmates.

The new conditions are complicated, but I hope to do the better of me to get the best results in my projects and my qualifications. The most difficult is will be spending Christmas away from my family, because it is the first time since we've seen in so long (almost a year). So I hope I pass all my classes and not have to give any exam for spend more time in Arica with my friends and family.

Well, the question is to overcome the situation and make the best work in this strange semester and that consequences. After all, the protests were for something fair and worth the sacrifice to put the issue into the consciousness of all.

say cheeeesus! (it's like a cheesy-jesus xD)

Even though I don’t have a photographic camera, I enjoy taking pictures with my friend’s cameras. I love to take spontaneous photographs. I don’t like to people to pose on my photographs.  Also I don’t like when people take photographs from me. I am not good at smile.

Some time ago, I had a lot of fun watching photos about me when I was a little girl. I don’t have too many pictures when I was small because my father doesn’t like photographs. But, my brother searched for all my photographs and uploaded them to a photolog. I hated him when I saw the pictures, because he shared the link with my friends.Even though, I understand that he did it to make me happy. So I didn’t killed him in his sleep :) 

My favorite pictures also include a lot of landscapes, and strange compositions, like to take pictures while moving the camera.

Now, one example of this is the following picture. It is one of my favorite…

This photo was taken by my friend Valentin. It was taken on an autumn day three years ago. In this image, you can see a sunset in a cloudy day at Arnuero. It is a very little town in Spain. It was taken with Valentin’s new camera.

 I love this picture, because when you see the sky it looks like an ocean. Like a floating ocean. And there is a lot of contrast, like if the day and a night were together, but the sun can’t be seen; just the sunlight. Also it remembers me good times with Valentin. He is a very close friend. I haven’t seen him since a long time ago because he lives in Spain. 

Da dara dah!, dada da dara dah! (Metro Golwyn Myer xD)

I like movies, but I don’t like go to cinema for see all movies, for example, when I want see animations movie the cinema is full of kids, and they cry o scream. However some films are better in the cinema for the big screen and the surround system, for example Matrix or The Lord of The Rings, etc. When I want see any film, first search in internet; if don’t find movie late a little time in case appears, but if not again, I think in go to cinema with my friends for see the movie.

Between films more famous, one of my favorite is “Singing in the Rain”, before the original sound track of this film are the most funny and creative that I know. Also that have choreography really complex and beautiful, with this the actors manage transmit happiness.

My favorite movie is “Contact” (1997) is science fiction film about the construction of a machine that allows travel and contact with other places of solar system. The protagonist is a women astronomer who knows the stars thanks to her father. My other favorite movie is Age of Ice, I really love it, I can see hundred times this film because the animation is excellent and I love principal sound track “Send me on my way”.

Really I don’t use many of my time in see movies, but I’ve seen good movies of different period of the history. Between all movies I see I recommended five excellent films of different kinds:

-          “The Shinning” (Horror)

-          “Contact” (Science Fiction)

-           “Triple X” (Action)

-          “The Schindler List” (Social)

-          “The Wave” (Social)

These are films perfect for a night with friends and a bag of popcorns.

My travels...

I love travel for meet different people and know about new places, I like travel to little towns and big cities for compare the differences and similarities.

I usually go to Arica for my winter and summer holidays. Past holidays I visit two place more, Tacna and Putre (really beautiful town). I usually travel alone, the travel to Arica are really long, 28 - 30 hours in a bus don’t are the best idea for enjoy a road, but when I traveled with other people the hours spent more fast.

I know a little of Chile, but if I have choice in any moment one place in Chile for visit, I would like visit is Frutillar, because all people speak or mention Frutillar when speak about the south of Chile. Don’t is the place favorite of all, but all speak about this place. Outside Chile I only know Tacna, because it’s so near Arica. I would like travel around of the Chile before going aboard. But when traveling abroad i like see London or Tokyo with my best firend or my parents.

Well, any day I will travel for all country of the world or for all places of Chile …but, for now, the best travel is with my imagination.

Leisure Time :D

Actually, I don’t have too much free time because the university consume all my day. I study 1 to 2 hours every day of the week, so my schedule is full in the week. Then, I can only do other things en weekend. When I have some free time during the week, I use it visiting my boyfriend or going to the house of my friends. My favorite activities for my free time during the weekend are listening music and Medieval Fencing at the “Compañia Espada de Plata”. 

In my house, when I can, I prefer to read a books of science fiction or police drama, watch T.V series and play shooter games in the computer, but these activities are very addictive and the times flies away. Outside of my house y prefer running or walking around the park, and going to the “Centro Medieval y Renacentista de Chile” on Saturdays by the morning, for fencing lessons.

When I was a child, I didn’t like sports with balls, I preferred to read or going to the house of my friends to play with dolls. When I grew up, I started loving volleyball, because the sports teacher taught me how to not be afraid from the ball of volleyball.

I feel the time is really short and I would like use it in other things. I love to practice fencing and I love all the other things I do in my free time, but sometimes I lose too much time. I get relaxed, but then I feel bad because I should use that time studying or reading. Finally, I prefer to use all my time in activities, but sometimes it is good to stop and relax for enjoying the moment.

La la la...Music

Music for me…is the best complement for everything! When I write, or read, when I study or dance, when I go to university or travel to another city, every time have music with me, because the guitar playing and battery breaking de silence has de power of cheering me up.

Sometime I imagine a day make with songs of beginning to end, the first song, for stand up, are “Pagan Party” of Mago de Oz, next in my road to university “Black Diamond” of Stratovarius because is a great song for get to class with full batteries. After, in the moment more boring of the class, the perfect song would “Hasta que el cuerpo aguante” of Mago de Oz for shake my neurons and pay attention. Then, for read, write or study anything, I prefer listening music without lyric, since I can’t focus if I know the song and I don’t learn, only sing. Finally for come back to house and relax for sleep, my favorite song is “For Fruits Basket” of Ritsuko Okazaki, this are one of the most beautiful songs I've heard.

As you can see over, I like different types of music, in fact, I prefer songs in several languages, for example Japanese, Italian, French, English, even in Hawaii. Maybe is my method of enjoy the diversity in world, and one reason more for choose Anthropology in the University. But i need clarify that I don't like every music in the world, songs such as “reggeaton” or “saund” are really bad music for me, because don’t have any content in lyrics, or in melody, almost only speak about sex and degrade to  women for male placer.

My favorite group of music is “Mago de Oz”, and my favorite singers are “Celtic Woman”, they are really awesome when sing and play music, for example the song “the voice” of Celtic Woman, is excellent lyric and excellent music.

Finally, I don’t have much musical skill, just play little notes in my violin, or kids song in a flute, that learn in the school, I can’t imagine a world without music, because the music for me, is one the all-time best thing in the world.
