The animals


Hello, today's topic is about animals. An animal that I’ve always liked it´s the dog. Five years ago I decided to adopt a dog because I think they are more loyal.
The name I chose for my dog is Patraske, because as a kid we had a dog with that name who lived in the house of my grandparents in the countryside.
Despite the efforts we have made with my family, has been very difficult to teach the most basic things, because it is a very large dog and restless. Take him out often becomes practically impossible, he puts all his strength to run away from any place and many people feared for how big it is.
Besides my dog, also lives in the house my sister's cat. I must admit I did not like it at all, I think that cats in general are annoying animals. Also, whenever Patraske sees it, tries to attack, which makes things quite difficult.
As my grandparents live in the countryside, often had the opportunity to go horseback riding or being around cows. With a veterinarian friend, many times we thought about the idea of ​​putting together a new species of breeding cows or sheep, something innovative in Chile.
Thanks to my friend vet I have learned much about this subject. So far, only projects, but someday I'd like to make it happen.

The music


Hello, today's topic is music.

I think I have a taste fairly definite about it, definitely I like Spanish music, preferably rock latino. As with books often hear some singers seasons. I am of the idea to listen to any artist, it's best to play a full cd, seeing it as an integral work, with a clear central idea.

Practically only listen to music from the internet, because due to the facilities that delivery is almost unnecessary to buy music in stores.
The more I listen to artists who are Argentine or Spanish, for example listen a lot to Andres Calamaro and Joaquin Sabina, Joan Manuel Serrat also and Charly García. They are all great examples of a dissident song of love, of struggle.

Similarly, in the Chilean music scene has emerged loudly as Manuel Garcia and Camila Moreno, who all accompanied the students and the Chilean people in general in the struggle for their just demands.

There is a particular song that touches me much of the repertoire of Manuel Garcia, "the old communist." I like it because it reminds me of my grandfather, a farmer whom I love.
I believe that music is with us every day, which completes our tour and perfectly expresses our feelings and emotions.

The movies


I love movies and my luck I have a cousin who is a filmmaker, so every time were commended me a movie we saw more than memorable.
Among its recommendations is one of my favorite movies, the Argentine Ricardo Darin,"Nine Queens" is a film very intelligent and mischievous, quick-tempered but that also shows a country's social reality.
Usually, Darin has great creations like "The Secret of Their Eyes" or "Carancho" withvery real stories.

Another film which I also liked was the Godfather, a classic film that chronicles the life of an Italian Mafia family in America. These are stories that appeal to me much about the strong element of strategy and suspense in the story printed in addition to the excellent performances of its protagonists.
I think those are my best recommendations, maybe until I reunited with my cousin.

The first post


I am currently attending the last courses of the career, because I switched from another career have advanced much faster than other students, which is a great advantage.

Having to study for the summer has been an exhausting and unpleasant experience due to high temperatures in Santiago. After a long year full of activities the student movement, to resume classes has not been easy, however I hope will be equally successful to finish and then graduation.

I hope to meet all my goals to end the university as soon as possible because I would like to get to work and build projects as a contribution to build wanna do.
Moreover, there is always the family pressure to end soon, especially after studying another career.

Hi! Today I’ll speak about the reading and my reading habit.

Well, reading is a one of my favorite hobbies. I spending too much in books. Sometimes I’m obsessed with an author and I began a search of his books. In other cases, I travel to bookstores in search of new books for my collection.

The first book I captured was called “Ingo y Drago”. I read it when I was seven years old. I don’t remember the writer’s name but It was a children’s story about a kid who discovers the egg of a Dragon. When the egg breaks  a small dragon comes but it increase very quickly, causing many problems in the children’s house.

About my favorites genres, in the literature of fictions, I prefer the novels. My favorite writers are Roberto Bolaño and Charles Bukowsky. Both have a style of writting very provocative. They tell stories that show alienated society and personages in deep crisis. the lives of these authors are very erratic and this is reflected in its literary creation.

In the literature of non-fictions I read books about politic,sociology and history. I like biographies of spies or revolucionary leaders too. I like the sociological thought especially marxist tradition.

Since I was very young, my father taught me reading habit. He gave me many books and he spoke stories about of books that he read. At present, we discussed about the book we reads.

I wanted to write a book but I’ve never taken  it seriously. I have many ideas in my mind but I haven’t decided to write about some of then. I'd rather not talk about my ideas, because I’m not sure they are good ideas.

About the environment

Hi, today I’ll speak today about the environment.

The enviroment’s contamination is a public problem. All the society must be involved, from the goverments, to the citizens and the families.

The people must learn about enviromentally friendly practices from the school, in their family and also in their work. Because in all these space it is very important to promote the envariomental care as well as to transmit this knowledge.

In my house I have a box with organic recycling. In this box I deposit the organic debris for create Humus’s land, because in this box worms live to transform organic waste into humu’s land.

I used my bicycle to transport in Santiago. I feel  very happy when I use my bicycle, because environment care, save money and my physical condition improve.

I Haven’t join or supported any eco-organisations. Just I have participaded in the demostrations in oppossite a Hidroaysen’s project. Because I haven’t  time to get involved in this organizations.

I always try to incorporate the problem of the environment in political debates I participate. I like to do more, but I don’t have more time. Because well as the environment, there are many other problems that exist in our society.

I have nothing  for reduce my carbon footprint. I don’t even measure a carbon footprint.

Santiago needs a stronger culture of respect for the environment. It is necessary increasing restrictions on polluting industries, build more bike paths to promote used the bicycle. Also, is very important promote political about the recycling and the public trasnportation improve.
