Last Blog

Hi! Well, thinking this is the last blog, I feel quite sad. I haven't had the experience writing a blog before, so doing this was a new and  really enyoable experience. I love many of the topics, just because thinking on "what new can I write today" its an interesting exercise. Many topics really simple asking for something we like, or our ambitions, helps me to looks with more clarity who I am and what thing I really like, and ideas are always in my mind. Actually I can say it help me to see what I'm studying may be its not what I really  want now, and thats an awesome achivement. Also Reading about all the differents thing my classmate do in their life, and experiences they have it also really valuable and open mind. The blog I like the most was also the one about something passioinate about, not just to write it, because, writtig about something you love it's quite difficult not to enjoy it, even when it was hard to chose just one thing, writing about physi...

A city I would like to visit.

Hi again! Well, It takes me time to think in a specific city rather than a country, but thinking about music It cames one to my mind. The capital of Austria, Vienna, a beautiful city, well known by the many musicians of the romantic and classicism period there were born and the many other ones who went there to auditions and presentation, Mozart, Strauss, Shubert and the biggest ones on the classical music area.  I would like to visit the many museums are about this topic. A city with all that music history should have many to tell on those streets. All the theatres! Obviously go to some concerts, many operas never will appear here in Chile. Also the architecture it’s a reason I would like to visit Vienna, I have an attraction to old cities of Europe, its makes me think I’m taking a trip to the past, but also to the future in some places, where modern architecture breaks with the past one. Appreciate all these transition should be awesome. I would like to do this trip with ...

A special meal

Hi! Well an special meal I remember, like out of common, was three years ago, when I was on a Vacation study trip to learn english in California, I was hosting with a Californian's Family, Stacy and her two little daughters. Was my first night there so I was so excited. We prepared all together the food, green leafs, cereals, tomatoes, carrots, species, humus, some bread and pomegranate. Before put on the table, they toke a candle, well, a battery candle, and everyone start saying what was grateful of the day, and the bad things. Was a really nice gesture they made every night, was really different from my home and family, where in those days we just sit to eat. It was a really simple meal, quite different from that stereotype that all american people are fat and eat fatty food.  We talk and joke about differences from Chile and California, and the girls was so happy to having me to play and share After eating we play some table games, (in my family we also are fans of table ga...

A friend

Well, Hi! I'm going to talk about a recently friend I've made, Vicente. We meet last years studying for PSU on a Pre-university. We share some classes, and by a friend between us we started talking. He used to bring with him his guitar, so it was impossible not to notice him. We have several things in common like music, physics, and silly crazy knowledge , we can laugh doing jokes about nerds knowledge both was interested in, and in those days, same disappointment about our future also makes us close. I'm not really good doing friends, like many times I just don't want to go out or spend time with people that i'm not sure i'll have great time, but gratefully with Vicente this things went well. We shared this liking about classic music concerts, so we invite each other to some of them or stuff like that, or art expositions, It's a really interesting person to talk with, many crazy ideas. He also introduce me to his group of friend, Halloween, and some bir...

Torres del Paine

Hi again! Well, on febraury of 2016 I went to the famous Torres del Paine National park on Patagonia with my mother and my big brother. . We went there to do de "W" trecking that has Torres del paine and so other mountains of the park, We been so lucky for the weather we have, it so common to have extremly fast winds and many days of rain, even in summer, but fortunaly we get there almost 6 of the 7 days with a wonderful sun and a nice weather. Being there like 5 or 6 days inside the park were completly awesome, even when the trecking was so hard sometimes, after walking for hours, arrive to the next camping zone so tired, and hungry, and also still having to put up the tent was hard to experience, but also wonderful because makes apreciate in differetn ways common things, like a gently food, or your soft bed. The treckings paths has amazing landscapes to see, so rather you are completly tired, you get paid in someways seeing all those nature gifts. My brother and I got ill...

Passion of getting mind explosions.

Hi guys. Well, I want to talk about my passion of physics, a mind explosion topic. Yeah! Physics! Since i was a child I was interesting knowing how it works things, like the mechanics of clocks or stuff like that. I like taking out the small motors of the toy cars and transforming on a fan, i think i was quite an ax hands, poor toys!  I find so interesting physics because it explain many things that happen in our daily lifes, and knowing about that it helps many times to get things easlily, like carring stuff, or throwing things, the cook recipes, or... well many things! One topic I'm really interesting on it its termodynamics, because, it so cool seeing how some energy like heat becames a movement. Even when at school we didnt have many laboratoriums, or stuff to work, once we made a termodynamics machine from drink cans, thats was so so amazing so i will clip down below if you want to see it. Other stuff I am crazy about its optics and light, I mean learning about the differe...

Fiestas Patrias at the mountain.

Hi again. Well, at the begining of Fiestas Patrias me and some friends decide to go to Quimifonda, but at the end of the day we meet at the wrong place (we were like in the other side of santiago) so we couldnt go, but we arent really funs of fonda so we decide to just have time together. Thats was the only effort I give to do something typical or stuff like that. So, one of those days my family decide to went to Farellones like all years, to make sculpturs of snow,  to take advange of the last days of winter and hoping theres still some snow up at there. Like we supose theres no many snow, so we have to go up more the mountain to find good enough snow to sculpt. Every year we try to sculp something biger and better than the last year, this time was a really cool castle although when i want to make an animal like other times. We use some shovels and buckets to grow the structure and some screwdrivers to make details like bricks and windows. At the end of the day touris...

A concert in a Beauty Castle

Hi, Well last weekend i went with a really close friend to the second concert of partitas and sonatas of J. S Bach.  All these concert have been made for free, so me and my friend get a little bit crazy about that. This take place at the Arts Faculty of UC, that actually, is a completly wonderful campus, It looks like a old castle, have big gardens, full of green, big doors, cos there was Saturday there werent much people around there so we colud aprecieted every corner. I like it so so so so much. and think it would be awesome to study there! Even i forget i was on chile for a tiny moment. Then the concert was really cool, the violinist, i man with a crazy hair (i like men with crazy hair) was also a teacher, so he talk more about the pieces, like freaky things, but actually i dont remember any of them right now. I learned more than usually concerts. After the concert we realize there were taking place a wedding there, what a beatiful place to get married, but i would prefe...

Beethoven's marvellous Concert.

Hi, The concert i'm going to talk about, its about a classical music concert, that are the most currently for me to go, these was a special Prelude in the way of the Astronomy Day in Chile. Well, this concert happens around March, a musician friend told me she was going to play soon at GAM for free, and those days I was on debt with a friend to invite him to a concert, so it was a good chance to take. It was a really good concert in several ways, they played the seventh symphony by Beethoven, one's i haven't heard by then, a piano concert by Grieg, and the debut of a concert for charango by Anya Yermakova. The charango's concert was so wired, cos they start to play the instrument in different ways, like the violins didn't rub the string with the bow, they do it with their hands and also hitting the wood of the violin, it wasn't harmonic as well known, this was kind of mix of sound in a wired order, kind of contemporary sounds. The piano concert was great, a...

Polymathy

Well, recently i been searching about polymaths, and all the world around that word. All this have started by thinking about my own style life, my interesting, and how all these stuff is seen in my own life, in my career.  Starting defining what a polymath is, a person with several capacities, starving of knowledge, and proactive, who try to know as much as posible in several areas. In few words, A wonderful person!  Even that polymaths sound like a type of the renaissance person, and Da vinci apear almost instantly in our minds, I want to know polymaths nowadays. I find these TEDtalk talking about people with this characteristics and pleasures in the present, and how difficult is seen themselves in a specific career, or even a style life. I founded interesting and also helpful in the process of defining myself.(https://www.ted.com/talks/emilie_wapnick_why_some_of_us_don_t_have_one_true_calling)  Then, I gota reflexion about the educational system in chile...

Something artistic I really like doing!

Hi there! If there's something i really love doing is all that involves colors and painting. I like to paint with watercolors and acrilycs and others if is the posibility. I've been painting and drawing since i have concious, but playing with acrylics I think almost 10 year ( wow, i didnt realize was that much!), and recently i been trying new art supplies and stuffs like watercolors and soft pastel. The thing I really like of painting and playing with colors its creating ideas from differents topics or knowledge, mixing ideas from biology,or physics laws, or from cooking, then a phrase of a book, or an interesting story someone told me, i like to mix all of this ideas and create an surresalistic scene or a character of it, like this half-onion half jellyfish with a cute bow tie. The artistic process sometimes came from music, I lay on my bed and I play on youtube some orchestra concert of shostakovich or prokofiev, some epic clasic music, that makes me feel in a terrible p...
