A little about me

When I was younger I played violin. Every Saturday I used to go to the orchestra of Macul to played. In the high school, I played in the school’s orchestra. The classic music is wonderful in more than one aspect. When I am stress, I search any classical music on youtube, and minutes later I feel good. The classical music is it not only a melody, it is about a plot that the compositor expressed in sounds. For that reason, all instruments are necessary:the violin, viola, cello, bass, etc.  When someone realized all sounds of all instruments, it something like discover the heaven. I my case, I feel more than happy, I feel my chest becoming worm and my mind in peace. Nevertheless, all classic music do not make feel like that. For example, it is weird that piano music make me that feelings.  The classic music is also wonderful because can take to other places. Depends of the movement of the music, like allegretto, we can imagine that we are in a beautiful place or landscape, but when the movement is adagio we really feel in majestic and powerful.

In general people do not like classical music, but I think that happens because they never give a really chance to try to listen with attention the history that music want to say.

If you are one of that people, I give you one of my favourite classic:  Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto N 1

 I hope you give the opportunity to classical music!

Books

Today I will talk about my top-three favourites books. Like one post that I wrote about movies, I can’t easily choose only three books, there are so many and all can be the best for someone. Nevertheless, I have at least three books that make something in me. The first one is “Azabache”. The plot is about a horse who want freedom besides that can hurt his family. In his journey he meet a mare who think diferent, and at the least they fall in love and stay together. In my mind I pictured they like two horses in the meadow galloping with happy faces hahahaha. This book is important for me because this was the first book that I readed because I wanted. Other book is Harry Potter. Everybody knows Harry Potter hahaha, but I like it for his capacity of create a new world in wich everyone can be part of and his capacity to make that all persons can imagine that world. The last is Jane Eyre. It is about a woman who works for a rich and rude man that really is a kind person. His name is Mrs. Rochester. My favourite part are the descriptions of the book are the lanscapes, I really can be there and feel the sun, threes and the wind. I like it for that, because transport me to other parts.

So, what are your favourite books? 

Holidays

I really enjoy holidays, not because I spent time out of Santiago – the city where I live-, it is because I do nothing hahahaha. Joke, joke :D  Well, besides that I enjoy them because sometimes I can go to other cities or go to camp. The last holidays I really liked were when I went to Valparaiso with my boyfriend. It was funny, we only went for one day but we were happy. It was last year and we went to Cerro Alegre, Cerro Polanco, Cerro Placeres and others. He has a cousin who lived there so he was my personal guide. We went to the ex-jail that now it is a cultural centre, then we went for lunch to an extremely expensive restaurant. It was hard to choose one because I’m vegetarian and there weren’t many options to eat for me. The food was weird but delicious; nevertheless, the best part was the dessert. I chose crème brulee and my boyfriend – whose name is Matias- picked tiramisu.

After that, we toured around the city, visited some museums, the beach, bought magnets and postcards and of course we used the elevators!! I got surprised because they were so cheap! They cost around $100. When the sun went down, we went to the city centre to have dinner. It was wonderful, then we came back to Santiago.

I think it was the best holiday because we planned and made an effort to spend some time together, despite that, it was only one day.    

Basque Country

Hi everyone!

This is the first post of this year. I was very busy so for that reason I didn’t write before.

The subject this time is Which country would you like to go to?

The first time when someone asked me that I thought… it is impossible to answer! I want to go everywhere!! Hahahahaha but after thinking a little, I chose the Basque Country. And here is when you ask, why this country? I picked it because I fell in love with their landscapes. I know about this country because in the university I took the subject “Euskera, the most ancient of Europe”. There I learnt about his traditions, myths, sports, language, in sum, a little of its culture. I really like all things I learnt, since then one of my goals is going to the Basque Country.

If I can go there, the things that I would like to do are go to mountains (like the nationals parks). I really like taking long walks, admiring the nature, it makes me feel happiness. Of course, I will eat a lot of …. hahahaha. Another thing I will do is going to the nationals parties (like Semana Grande de Bilbao, Taborrada, etc.) These parties take a week. It´s crazy!

Nevertheless, I´d only like to go there for vacations because I think that I will miss my family so much. But, it is not a bad idea study there for a semester in the Deusto University and despite that it doesn’t offer my career, I would take the subject of Social Anthropology. I think that it will be good for me to learn from other perspectives about how Europeans understand and study anthropology. 

See you soon :)
