MUSIC!!!!

I think this will be my favorite post . . . because music it’s one the things that I likemore, in all of its senses. I love to hear music, to know new music, to learn about it, to play it, to feel it, etc etc. But this will be very superficial post because this issue it’s very wide.
Well ill start with my likes of music. . . . jajaja I listen to all type of music and I try to always hear something new, I search in web pages like MySpace, lastfm and in some dedicated music blog, and also from what i ear of other people. I used to hear a lot of rock like grunge, death metal, trash, punk, classical, etc. but at the same time I was listening Chilean music, folk, Argentinean rock, etc. Then I like to hear hip hop, electronic, etc. In short terms I like music by itself, I’m not attach to a specific type of music I like new things, experimental ones, I hear music because it’s something that’s makes me feel different, affects my senses and can transport me to another place, in myself, but also with other people, it’s something that’s belongs to everyone that feel it. It's universal and particular at the same time.
I also said that I like to play music. I star to play the guitar when I was fiveteen years old. But I stop to play it regular when I entered the university. I also learn to play a little bit of charango bass and trumpet. Next year I want to dedicate some important part of my time to play more, especially trumpet and guitar, to join some band or make one whit my friend. I live whit two and they also play the guitar and some piano and bass . . . I really don’t’ know what are we waiting . . . but well the university takes a lots of time. That’s all for now See you. . . . and ALWAIS LISTEN MUSIC!!!

Gaza, a never end conflict.

Recently I read a new on guardian.co.uk about the conflict in Gaza between Israel and Palestine. This article was about a report that the UN made about war crimes in the last conflict between Hammas and Israel in Gaza on January. This report accused both sides of war crimes. Obviously Israel rejected this report and said that this statement don-t contribute for peace. What can I said as an Anthropology student, well firs off all we have to understand the beginning of this conflict and what involves.
We must see the big picture of this conflict to understand what it’s happening, we have to take on count the history of this to Nations, the politic, the power beyond both sides, and what they represented, but in fist term as an Student of anthropology we have to take care about the cultural component in this conflict, in how this two countries, sides, nations, peoples are seen between them. This is a very complex point of view, and difficult to aboard, especially from a western eye, because of the cultural difference.
Going back to the news, there are human rights involve in this conflict, there are civilians, people that just want to live, from both sides. Not recognize that both sides committed war crimes it-s also saying that you don-t recognize that people that want to lived, you don-t recognize the death of civilians.

Tv Serials

Favorite TV serial.
Hellooooo, it’s been a long time from my last post . . . but I’m back. Well in this post I’ll talk about TV serials, mmm actually I’m not fallowing anyone, but I have seen a lot, specially the typical one, from the serial channels Warner and Sony, like lost, Scrubs, doctor house etc. Now I’m waiting for the last season of Lost to come out.
When I fallow a TV serial it’s for its argument, the work in the character, the history, the photograph etc . . . in short terms when I see something that I like it’s not for the amount of special effects that it have or the amount of production, I like it because it was made whit care, like any good piece of art. But I also see serial that aren’t very good and don’t have that care component, so I see them just for fun, to see something.
Another type of serial that I like to watch . . . but I haven’t seen in a long time is animation. Like Evangelion, Lain, Death Note, Black Lagoon, Elfen Lied, Ergo proxy etc. I like this type of serial because you can make any type of reality that you want, so the histories usually goes beyond this reality, taking normal situation but whit a totally different content, and the work of the character usually it-s very deep.

Transantiago

The actual system of public transportation it’s thousands of year beyond the past yellow buses. In general terms Transantiago it’s a good system of public transportation . . . but it still have a lot of problems specially in the peripherals neighborhoods, whit some routes. The system of public transport it’s now stable, but in the beginning was a mess, in comparatives wais, the old public transport was much better than the brand new Transantiago. It need it a lot of time, patience and money to fix it to an acceptable way.
The main reason of the failure of Transantigo, in it’s beginnings, was the poor pacification, they focus the system in to the minimum cost possible . . . but the government didn’t think about what the people wants and need. This was another political move for the government and a business for the companies involve, and not a need of the people. After all, this system it’s more expensive that they think.
One of the problems for the future it is the expensive that the ticket it’s getting, discouraging the use of the public transport, and actually encoring the use of cars making the environment worse. In almost all the world the public transportation it’s subsidized, and there are examples like Iceland were the public transportation it’s free. The governments necessarily have to think beyond the economic cost, and also start to listen to the people for the best of all.

I WANT TO TRAVEL!!!!

Well well well . . . mmm I really want to go to Barcelona in this next vacations . . . I’m working and saving money for that, that’s the idea . . . I have my reason, it’s a beautiful place but I have been already there and I was hopping not to come back in a long time . . . because I wanted to travel to other places before. . . but how I said I have my reasons. But if something happens and I don’t travel to Spain instead I would like to travel the north of Peru and Ecuador . . .I meet a lot of people that says that you have to travel to those places, that is a friendly place whit beautiful beaches and landscapes. . And for the next year I would like to travel to New Zeeland or Australia , first to work and recover the money spend on the tickets and everything . . . and whit the extra money travel to the north, like Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, Laos and if I can and the money allow it, go to India. That’s a very big trip . . . I’m calculating like 7 moths for the whole thing . . . so I have one year and something to prepare it, but now I’m focus in Spain. I have a friend that traveled to new Zeeland to work and did that trip that I want to do.

In my short life I have the opportunity to travel and visit a lots of countries, but I think that Asia and Oceanic are places totally different from the places I already visit. I love to travel, to meet different people, places, landscapes, airs . . .and I will do it until I can.

FIRST HALF !

I enjoy a lot the first term of this year, especially because a meet a lot of new people. In academic terms it was a good term, I pass all subjects with regular grades, taken in care that I have 8 subjects, in this term to. I was able to go out this winter vacation, I went whit my girlfriend to the central coast, but we first went to Pomaire and the Melipilla, we were “Conejeando”, in the road we were deciding our destiny, son after Melippilla we went to san Antonio then Cartagena and after that to el Tabo, and then to Isla Negra and we finally went to Algarrobo to a cousins house, we did all that in 4 days. It was a wonderful trip, for both of us, but especially for Marina because she is from another country and didn’t know the central coast. After that trip we take a rest of two days and with some friends we went three days to San Jose of Maipo, we have the luck that when we just arrive it was snowing.

In short terms it was a good firs half of the year . . . I hope that this one it’s better.

Ah! and welcome back to the blog!

LAST ONE !

Nininiiiii this is my last post . . . I hope you enjoy it, I know …it wasn’t a very entertainment blog but I did my best to give some information and points of views, that I hope help someone. Well in this post I’ll write about my experience doing this blog, as an weekly English assignment
This is my firs blog, in the past I had tried to do one . . . just for the coolness, but I really never did it. So this was some of that things that once I have the intention to do but I didn’t do, ja! that is a score for me.
Like an assignment It`s was useful in a way to improve my English, a little bit it help me to practice mi writing, and to think issues in English. I note that I need to improve my vocabulary, I’m really shorts of concepts. Also this blogs help to do a more didactic class, and to use the internet and its tools in several ways, like the blog, doing research, using translators etc.
Sometimes I enjoy to write on my blogs but also other times I didn’t have much energy and enthusiasm to do it so I only do it as an assignment, writing the basic about an issue, but in the other hand there were times that I really like the issue that the assignment treat so I make an effort to write a good post, for example in the post about photograph, in this post I tried to explain in short words mi interest about the photography and in some way how I feel it, it wasn’t very hard and I really enjoy it. Other post that I like were the one about the anthropology links and the one about my career. Well thats al folks, see ya.
