Free Post

Hey! The only posts I haven’t written yet are the free ones and I’ve got an idea, I don’t know if it’s okay or no but I’ll do it anyway and I’ll mix them both and only write one longer free post. I’m sure the topic I chose just couldn’t be better and it’s “food”, for me, a conversation about food could never end and it’s because it makes me really happy. And now that I think about it, this was also the topic for our oral exam so I can continue that conversation. The first thing that comes to my mind is what would be my favorite meal and what I like to cook. And of course I don't have only one favorite meal but many. And I'm not a person who cooks everyday but when I have to I like to try and I'm not afraid of mixing too many flavors or that the meal finally looks gross, for me the matter is how it tastes. The topic is also according to the second “free post” because is something that I feel passionate about and I know that many people from different ages and every kin...

Something Artistic

    Hello Today I've to write about something artistic I enjoy doing. For the moment I consider I'm not doing nothing artistic besides the stuff for the workshop and cooking when I want to eat something special.  I used to be more artistic when I was in the school, I played guitar for a coupple of years and danced ballet for a bit longer (this is something I'd be happy to do rigth now). I love dancing even tough I'm not the most coordinated and so. It's something that just make me happy and gives everyone energy.  Since 5th grade I have alternated between rhythmic gimnastics and ballet. When I couldn't continue I started to go to the gym and there I also went ofter to the dance classes like zumba and even arabic dance.  The last semester I went in to the afro dance CFG and it was amazing, it's cool when you do something which becomes to the moment you most expect of the week but this year I haven't been enough organized to do something els...

A Concert

          A concert I'd like to write about is the Calle 13 concert I went in 2015.  At this time, Calle 13 was my favorite band, I was in Germany and I knew they were on tour so they had to visit Germany too. I barely knew that they'd give a concert in Hamburg, the nearest city from my town, I asked all my Latino friends and Germans who had been in Latin America  to come with me and they were also planning to go.  It was cool in many ways, I don't usually go to concerts but this was a very special situation, the tickets were cheap and I gave it to me for my birthday. It was cool just the idea of going to a concert in another country with many crazy people (we were about 15).  We went together by train from Lübeck to Hamburg, at the station we bought us some food and drinks, we lost each other, no one knew were the concert was and how to get there, some of the group hadn't cell phones so we couldn't find them. And all this jus...

Fiestas Patrias

This year was different, we use to make a great "asado" and a family celebration with the same group of my mothers friends but they decided to postpone our tradition for the end of september,  so each family could make the plans that they wanted if they even wanted to leave the city that week. On september 16, the day I came to Los Andes we had another family celebration with people we also meet every fiestas patrias, it was cool, I ate everything I could because I really love asados, my favorite things in life I think are meet and salads that's why a I was happy even because of the food. These friends of my parents live in the countryside, they have a farm with vines and together we went around the place with their dogs, we went to the dam and then we came back to the home, had some typical drinks and danced cueca with the whole family. The next day we came to tía Sandra's, she's a good friend from my mom who invite us every fiestas patrias too. It was a qu...

Last Weekend

       Hi! Today I'm going to write about something I did this last weekend or to be precise, something my brother did, I think this is the most interesting thing to talk about because I spent the whole weekend lying down.  Saturday evening , when I went to my house in Los Andes I found out that my brother was planning a party at home with his friends and classmates, that means we are talking about at least 25 people. I got excited because my brother doesn't like to party at home, when I was his age I invited my group of friends almost every weekend. I had forgot I hadn't sleep well and I wanted to rest because on Sunday I had a lot to do... My brother has everything ready, the music, chips and drinks,. When his friends started to come, our peace was ending. At first it was nice, I just stayed with my mom watching TV, then she told me to go and take a look. I joined the boys for a while until I got too tired, and little by little it became a chaos. ...

Amiwa

Hey! Today I'm going to write about a good friend I met in FAU, her name is Florencia and we met for the first time in the second day of "alianzas". Since then we spend the time in FAU and work in groups together.  In our first year we were a group of three that was the whole time together, then we started knowing more people and we hadn't always the same classes anymore.  Anyway, I love them both. Here is a photo in an exhibition of her painting course and her painting. So, I know Flo since almost two years, it is not that much for a friendship but I know this is a real one, she's a really valuable person, so kind and sweet that everyone who meet her, finds her an awesome girl.  We started being closer when once she invited me to "live" together in her sister's apartament for a week because she went on holiday. Flo did that because the last year I lived in my house in Los Andes and had to come everyday to Santiago, she knows this is...

An Ambition

One of my ambitions would be to own a coffee and a restaurant in the city I was born, Iquique. I really want to achieve that to work with my parents in the same place and sell typical Chilean food from all different regions. What inspires this ambition is that my family has a northern origin. To satisfy it, I’d like to recognize that the north has a variety of unknown meals and we could create a menu that shows this interesting part of the culture. Also in this type of business you meet people from many places, foreigners, people from your own country and friends from the city who visit you and want support your enterprise. I think that with my architecture studies I’d be able to design interesting places that pose a different relation to serve the clients. In Iquique, the presence of the beach and the dunes, as well as the warm weather, sunny days and a fresh wind, allow us to think of places open to the city, to the outside and to the passerby. For the location of my coffee I’ve b...

My Blog Experience

Hi! Today I’ll write about my blog experience this semester. So, this is going to be my last post for the moment… Results complicated to say if I enjoyed the activity or not because I actually like it and think it’s a good exercise to practice and above all, to think more in english. Sometimes I really have no idea what to write and it takes me too much time to find a “good story or topic”. Anyway, I’d say I’ve enjoyed more than I’ve cried about. The post I liked most, even if I haven’t finished it yet, was the one about a holiday. I enjoyed  writing this post because I had a lot of fun these weeks and I like the idea of ​​leaving written  the important things we did and the places my friends and me visited.   The post I enjoyed least would match with the most difficult post to write to me and with the  reason I don’t like the experience in a hundred percent. And this only happens when I don’t  know what to write… This post was the one about “something ar...

Buenos Aires

Hi! Today I'll write about what I think will be my next trip. The city I'd like to visit soon is Buenos Aires, Argentina. I've wanted to visit Buenos Aires a long time ago, I think since my parents went and didn't brought me and my brother.  I've heard is a very beautiful city with a lot of history and things to see if we are talking about architecture. And it's so close compared to the USA or Europe that results weird to have been in other places much more away from us when we have all these beautiful cities and nature that doesn't exist anywhere else. I say this because I'm very interested on traveling around  South and Central America before knowing other continents. What attracts me to the city for the moment is a friend who lives there and studies in the UBA, Agostina. I want to visit her and spend with her a nice "holidays", because of course, we only can visit each other in summer and she  with another friend, also from Argentina ...

A Special Meal

This is just how it looked. I was invited for the new Rotary president in the club I belonged to in Ratzeburg as a farewell dinner and as a welcome for him and his wife.  We, the two host-families I had, Conny with Thorsten and Silke with Ralf and me, came to their house in a Summer evening in the middle of the asparagus season so that’s what it was about, just a meal of asparagus, ham, potatoes and the sauces, this is a typical German meal or tradition they have when the season comes. I remember that day as a special one because I felt really happy at this time, this step from that experience was ending and I felt satisfied with everything I had done, all the people I met and the places I had visited. So, there I was, sited by the president telling them in a fluent German, any story that came to my mind and drinking champagne, that’s another thing that I love. The meal was memorable to me because I think we spent a beautiful night and I was the “center of the attention” and s...

ITALY

HEY! NOW I’M GOING TO TALK ABOUT A COUNTRY I’D LIKE TO VISIT AND I THINK THIS COUNTRY WOULD BE ITALY EVEN TOUGHT I’D JUST PREFER TO TRAVEL THE WHOLE WORLD. THE REASON I’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO GO TO ITALY IS MY MOM, SHE HAS PART OF HER MATERNAL FAMILY THERE, IN UDINE, IN THE NORTH OF ITALY AND SHE HAS ALWAYS DREAMED ABOUT KNOWING HER ROOTS IN THAT COUNTRY AND ALL THOSE BEAUTIFUL PLACES. ANOTHER REASON FOR WICH I REALLY WANT TO TRAVEL WITH MY MOTHER IS THAT SHE’S THE ONE WHO HAS LESS TRAVELED IN MY FAMILY, MY FATHER HAS AT LEAST TRAVELED MORE BECAUSE HIS JOB AND I’M NOT COUNTING MY BROTHER BECAUSE HE’S TOO YOUNG AND I THINK HE’S NEXT TO GO TO ON EXCHANGE.                           I REALLY WANT TO TRAVEL WITH MY FAMILY BECAUSE I’D LIKE TO THANK THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE THE OPORTUNITY AND THE GIFT THEY GAVE ME TO KNOW PLACES THEY HAVE ALWAYS DREAMED ABOUT. WHEN WE GET THERE, AT FIRST, I WOULD LIKE TO VISIT OUR ...

Cahuil

I really like to travel. I always do it with my family, we share the same passion. We always visit the south of Chile or the coast, places like Viña del Mar or Valparaiso. Another place we visit a lot is Pichilemu. This town belongs to the O’Higgins region. When I wasn’t even born my mom used to go every summer and stayed there with her mom and dad, her sister and brother. They spent some good times there, in fact, she once told me and my brother that she met the father of my father there because she’d buy at his store without knowing it. Well, so we go almost every year to Pichilemu, and there’s a special place only 20 kilometres from the city in direction to the Coastal Range where you can walk long hours beside the Estero Nilahue. Also, you can take a ride on a boat, buy papayas, salt from the same saltworks and jam from all the tastiness. So, for me and my family this place has a magic meaning. Every time we get there it's cloudy and it only helps me to feel more nostalgic ...

Summer

Today I would like to write about my last holiday this past february with three friends I met in Germany in 2014, two Argentines, Paula and Agostina from Jujuy and La Pampa and another Chilean, Eloisa from Chillán. Eloisa, and I wanted to make them a little tour of our country because they had never been in Chile before, so I met them in Santiago the day after they arrived from the flight and we went together to Chillán by bus. There we went to a party and stayed the night by Eloisa and in the morning  we had to ride to Pingueral with her family, a beautiful beach near to Dichato. We stayed a few days in Pingueral and it was nice, very relaxing but a little cold, of course we went anyway to the beach. Then we came back to Chillán and stayed two days more, we went to Elo's friends parties and made a barbecue as a farewell. The next morning we four came to Santiago by bus and stayed here only two days, I was the hostess so I showed them some important places in the downtown, we we...

Photos

 Hello everyone! I'm back and now I'm on the last level of english in the FAU.  Today I have to write about a family photograph but because I really like photos (more personal photos, I don't I understand like artistic photography...) and I couldn't choose, I picked a few more of special moments or quotidian ones but with beautiful meanings.  In the first one are my brother and me after school just waiting for lunch, wearing our uniforms and making ugly faces. I liked the moments when we were kind to each other, it happened only when we were really bored because at this age we spent the most of the time fighting. The same for the second and third picture, we were bored at breakfast and we started an ugly photo shoot drinking juice... I think these ones are kind of artistic.                          ...
