Post 4: ELECTION DAY

Imagen
 Voting is a fundamental part of democracy, many young people don´t  take seriosly, altough my perception changed a lot since the last "Apruebo/Rechazo" vote because I saw a many youngs participate with different convictions, and that is natural in democracy, we don´t know what privilegeit is. In the Pinochet dictatorship there was no such right. If I will vote for the next elections, the elections campagins are fine for me, as a long as I can express ideas and challenges, a person who want to be a president, must first of all respect to human rights and international treaties, must also have clear and realistic proposals. I have never thought of beign a candidate, I have no charisma or leadership.

Post 3 : My Favorite Children Program

Imagen
 When I was a child I watched many programs on TV, most of them are cartoons (monitos), as for educational programs always watched "31 Minutos", a program that watched a lot childs of Chile and Latin America. But I would like to mention another program that I saw a lot and that marked me deeply, the Teletubbies, I love them very much, they were very addictive beacause they had a many colours and they way of speaking very rare, I saw them with many people and they told me that they were a bad influence, because they spoke badly. Their songs and the most iconical chapters were very special like a "tubbietostada". Until today they make me jokes about the program because I had a many toys of the show, also my grandmother believed that they were satanic, even to burn a merchandising of teletubbies of my cousins.

  Sorry for the delay, but I had to convert the video because it was too heavy, and it took too long.

Post 2: The Best Concert Ever.

Imagen
 I have been lucky having gone to many concerts, I have liked all of them a lot and I find  very difficult to choose which one is the best. I think that the one I like the most was the concert of "Opeth", a Swedish prograssive metal band, one of my favourite bands, ths was in 2015 at the "Teatro Caupolocán" in Santiago, I remember that the tickets were bought by my uncle who is also a fan of the band.  I like Opeth very much because it combines many styles of music, from the most brutal genres of metal, to the most beautiful melodies of progressive rock, the concert was perfect, they played 12 songs, and I liked almost all of them, in 2017 I returned to seen this band again, besides they would had come in 2020, but the crisis of covid - 19 postponed the event for a year. I also loved the concert of Miguel Bosé in the "Festival de Viña", I went to the gallery (?) , also it was a very good concert "Santiago Gets Louder" 2019 with a great bands such...

The worst place i have a been

Imagen
 I have never asked myself this question before, all places have a nice things. In some place I have feelt uncomfotable, for example in a town in the south of Chile called "Los Sauces", I remember this place when I was a child, it was a very long and uncomfortable trip, also the people of that place received us very badly, it was a bad moment, also this place is very cold and there were many people in the house, in general I have bad memories of that place.

Some reflections...

Imagen
 This year has been very strange, it's difficult to get good things out of a period where many people have died, we can't communicate normally and basically stay locked up at home every day. There are always good things, at least academically I have been decent, a little better than before, perhaps by the flexibility of the teachers by the pandemic I think, although it is not as I would have liked, I prefer to go to classes even if it takes me two hours to arrive. Personally I have had a lot of time to think about life, about what I want for the future, I have also thought a lot about others because it is a difficult situation. The bad thing, is that I think much more about death, I am tormented by it, I feel that I have not taken advantage of my time and I want to do many things, and that people are always very close to death, I do not want to think about it. I have also thought a lot about how bad my first year of college was, although it's no use and there's no time ...

Your favorite book

Imagen
The truth is I consider myself an ignorant person, I don't read many books, mostly I read things on the internet and about my college career, maybe I lack the time or just don't feel like it. A book that I read in my college days and marked me a lot is "Of Love and Shadow" (de amor y de sombra) by Chilean writer Isabel Allende, is a very entertaining novel, set in the dictatorship in Chile, its history is very exciting and its characters are very endearing, there are also very rare episodes characteristic of magical realism (as the supernatural strength of some characters) which I find very shocking and interesting. The last book I tried to read is one about the history of boxing in Chile, because the author is a family member of mine. I've always been interested in reading the books about Diego Maradona's life, I even have some but I haven't given myself the time to read them, I would also like to read the game of thrones saga (it scares me because it...
