My neighbourhood

The neighbourhood where I live is a traditional neighbourhood because it is located in the centre of Santiago his name is “Barrio República”, here exist many universities and many foods shops for the students, also you can find libraries. On the day, the neighbourhood is taken for the students of the universities, is very difficult to walk on the sidewalk, when the day ends only a few peoples walk for the neighbourhood and on the night is completely empty.

Nearly to my house there are two supermarkets and opposite to them there is a Manuel Rodriguez square, there are games for children. For the nearly streets go past microbus to the center of Santiago and other places. On the neighbourhood there are a many minimarkets and greengroceries where you can buy. If you think on the basic services (fire station, police and hospital) the neghbourhood doesn’t have hospital nearly, the other services are fulfilled.

If we considerate the pollution of the place, this doesn’t change to much compared with the other places of the centre of Santiago, for this reason in my personal opinion the “barrio República” is a very quiet and very simple neighbourhood,  if this had more green areas will be perfect!

another free theme...

In this occasion I would like to talk about meditation. The meditation is a practice mainly developed in India and Asia, it's a tool used for many purposes but generally associated with the physical and mental welfare. This is a connection with the soul, a contemplation of being that in conclusion is all.

The meditation should be important side in our lives, in this quickly life we lose conection with ourselves, our thoughts are constantly focused on the future and this way we forget what happens with our body, is necessary live the present and pay attention to occur in this moment.There are many typs of meditation, depending of the rason or if this practice is religious or not. I am recently serching information and putting into practice these knowledges and I think that are very important for our ingrowth.

I invite you to know about a little be about meditation, for begin to include it in our lifes. Regards!

Well, when we have the possibility to write anything, always come to my mind what people like to do, then it came the idea to write about music. The music is everywhere, I think that comes from most deepest instincts. Recently I discovered that I like the music that come of the instinct, is for this reason that I like the percusion instruments, I think this is the most basic form to make music, I think that the rhythm is the base of the music, takes us on a trip that conect us with ourselves, instinctively. Is for this reason that I'm interested for a particular sound, the Candombe. The Candombe is the music and dance broght the African people to Uruguay in slavery times. The rhythm is built from three drums: piano drum; chico drum and the repique drum, toghether form the Candombe. This rhythm is accompanied for dancers, they have characters that represent the colonial times.

I'm going a workshop to Candombe where a Uruguayan teacher taught us the differents rhythms of the drums. He told me that in Uruguay have a date where a lot of Comparsas compete to demostrate who is the best. The Comparsas are the group of musicians and dancers that belong from a place.

We get toghether in Bogotá square, two saturdays per month! you are invited!

The best holydayssss

Well, this post is about my favorite holidays, these holdays were a long time a go when I was a little children... In this time I go with my pattern family to Rapel Lake, we stayed in a campsite called "Paraiso campsite", we slept in tents and my grandfather had a motorhome where we cooked. in this campsite there had a lot of childrens and toghether with my cousins we make a big friends.

With they, we go to ride in a motorboat, sailed in a sail, ride in a motorcycle and a lot of things more. Rapel Lake hasn´t a beauty landscape in summer because it´s hills are very dry and brown, but we are childrens this hadn´t very importance.

This time we stayed two weeks in the Rapel Lake and I enjoyed wery much because I was with my family, I did a lot of things and I met nice people.

This was my most happy holydays of my infancy!

Hello!

to day I should speak about to my favorite beach, whatever I don´t have a favorite beach because I prefer to go lakes, rivers or mountains, specially mountains. Even so, when I go to the beach enjoy the sunset, I like run for the beach, play football and beach tennis. One thing that I don´t like is the sand, when this gets in my shoes and my clothes, I hate this!!

Whatever, my favorite beach should be Pichidangui because is a very long beach, it have a strong wind fot to sail and in the summer nights the people to meet arround the bonfires to play music, sing and dance.

I go to a place closer to pichidangui call Ensenada, this place is to 14 km a north to pichidangui, I go there once or twice a year. The last time I go there was in february, for one day. I like because is very quiet in spring or autumn for breath fresh air!

Good bye to every ones!

Mi first cassette

My first cassette gave me it my father because i don´t stop sing the songs of Toque by Joe Vasconcellos, really I don´t  know where he bought it, but I remember that was 1997, I went in second grade and began to like me the percussions. The music that Joe make is very powerfull, when I listen your music makes me want to jump, sing and dance, really to pass on very much energy. In this times, this music isn´t part to my play list, but however when your music to appear in anywhere place, always is a pleasure to listen him.

Well, is very difficult to chose some favorite song,  but Toque is my favoite album, inside this could  be the song Mágico or Sed de gol.

I have had the possibility to see him many times in differents places and always I enjoy this.

See you later!.

San Peter...

hello all of you! to day we had a land trip to San antonio seaport for a course of Urban geography, however I talking about of a land trip more interesting...

well, one of the most interestings field trips was when we went to San Pedro field trip the first time, for the conservation course with the teacher Rodrigo Vargas. The town of San Pedro is neraly to Melipilla south-east of the Metropolitan region.

I feel that in this time we learn to integrate a lot of concepts and experience. Basically we learn wich elements that to operate on the soil loss and how halt it, also we did see the way of erosion in the land and how this develop in the time.

This was a good land trip because we were a little gruop and we organize to have a good moment of entertainment in the night, I guess so that every one had fun!!

I hope that each one has good experiences for telling us!

see you later!

the social networks

Hello, well I think that the social networks ours hide of ourselfves, the fact of be sitting watching others lifes, our restrict to meet a lot of things, we have a pretty region!, I propose meet up a waekend and climb any hill.

however, the social network it can to have a right use, like social organizations, education, comunication with people of other countries for this rason my favorite social network is facebook because this makes its possible many things, like to make groups, upload pictures and coment this, to share in general, have it sence when you don´t see yours friends.

I started using it when I start the college in 2008, my idea was find old friends and I be have found some. I use it every time that to check my email account and when I uploud anything.
I like facebook because I can to keep contact with others, friends, classmates, family...

Simple and Concrete

Well, in this moment my most recent memory of a concert is when I went with my son to mapocho station for listen to Pedro Aznar a great aregentinian musician. His composition is very good, his perfomance is very good, and when is in live is better.

He played in the book fair. I really don`t remember when it was, I belieave that went in 2008. I really enjoyed because we went arround of the fair looking books and late we went see the show, there were a lot of people in a very little space!!. it was very difficult keep the silence because my son wasn`t the only one child (xD), maybe he was very young...

I find to my mom in this place without to plan that, I believe that the meetings it were the more important of the night.

Mister Nobody

Mister nobody is a movie directed by Jaco Van Dormael, starring by Jared Leto (Requiem for a dream) and Diane Kruger. I didn`t see this movie to long time, in summer this year, and I really like because I took for a mind trip, besides for the surrealist scenes and how the history is to relate. I don´t think this movie is the best an others movies, but when I see that, I understand the message that is to say. I saw mister nobody with my brother, we were bored and thinking see a movie, we never think where would take this film.

This movie is about a dream that Nemo have, this dream have differents ways that your life could have, so this movie isn´t a history about the past but about the future. this lifes was marked for matters events that to take differents ways like that profesor, musican, pool claner and others.

...ups I´m to turn spoiler.

Well, definitely recommend this film

It`s me
