Blog Assignment #5 - Right place, right time.



Two years ago, on may 11th, 2012, I saw a mixing of colors in the sky. I asked me what was the reason of it, so I went out, and lost my mind: it was a sunset, the most beautyful sunset I saw in my short life. Well, maybe I'm exaggerating, but it was a moment when each second, each heartbeat, each breath was full of life.

After few minutes, I took my camera, approached to the grill near my home, and took this picture from the same angle where I was looking the sunset for long time alone. After seeing this picture I was more impressed. I saw myself trapped behind the grill, seeking for the sunset which I just can see.

I like this picture because it shows the beautiful sunset I saw, and at the same time shows me enjoying it.

Blog Assignment #4 - Der Prozess



The Trial, my favourite book by Franz Kafka, and the first I read by him. My parents bough me, years ago, when I was a child, a book's collection (it came with the newspaper), so when I was bored, I read those books one by one, until I took on my hands a book with a weird title, by an author that I had never heard before. It was The Trial.

Initially I wasn't interested on read it, because its title suggested me a kind of book relationed with laws and all, and i'm not interested on that topics. However, I gave it a chance, and I read it. The story plunged me on an absurd world, where the protagonist, Joseff K., is dealing with a trial which details he doesn't knows. During his searching for an answer, the author shows to the reader how people, society composed by people, and laws made by people, functions on a disfunctional way. It appears that K. is the only sane person on a world of fools, but as the book progress, he considers the way that he is insane, and the world is right. I loved the book's topic, and it introduced me on the new world of existentialism.

I recommend this book because gives you a chance of think about what's wrong with society, what's wrong with ourselves, a chance of change. The most of people begins to read Kafka with The Metamorphosis, but after I read some books by him, posthumous and unposthumous, I concluded that the real Kafka's essence lives in the writings that he wanted to burn, and The Trial is one of them.

Blog Assignment #3 - The guilty of my deafness



I was not born when sony created walkman, however, i like it. A sony walkman is an artifact for listen to music in anyway, at anytime. At the start, it reproduced cassette, later CD-Rom, and now, mp3 and mp4 formats. It's practicall because you can turn a bored travell on train, car or a simple walking in an enjoyable experience.

When I was a child, my dad gave me a sony walkman for play cassettes (long time ago), so I was able to play my favourite songs, previously recorded from radio stations (I'm feeling like an old man telling this), and this was the start of my love for this artefact. Later, two years ago, he gave me my new walkman, which reproduces mp3, mp4, wav, etc. So, I just load my songs from my PC to the walkman, and it's ready for pleasant hours. Obviously, I must charge it's battery sometimes, but isn't a problem because it's fast.

For all these things I wrote, I simply don't go out without my walkman, because it turned on my ears. That's the reason of the title, I'm losing a little the sense of hearing. Although, I don't care because all my travells turned funny with it.

I can't mind my life without it for this reason. These days, the people is facing the life aggressively, so it helps me to face this people with tolerance and optimism, evading to become myself in one of them.

Blog Assignment #2 - Public affairs, third semester.



I think that all semesters have different and new signatures. There are some exceptions, of course. Administrative Laws "I", for example, is a continuation of Law's signatures that ends the next semester. Administrative Theory and Applied Statistics are another examples of this.

However, I have some signatures that are new for me. That's the case of Science's Theory, which is like phylosophy's history; Microeconomics, which I expected that were similar to Math, but this last is just a little part of the first; and Language "III" (English) ... well, i can't say that this last signature is really "new" for me, but I approved Language "I" and "II" with a test, the last year, so, i haven't spoken english during one entire year, and i lost the practice.

Also, I really wanted to take some extracurriculars, but i had time coincidence with the most of them, so i don't have anyone this semester. I expected to take French and a bizarre course called "Euskera and Basque culture", but that will not happen soon.

Out of signatures, extracurriculars and all that should make me study, I'm a member of a student's radio called Frecuencia Inapina, which born in our carreer. I was announcer of a Rock show called "Headbang", and currently I'm announcer in a new show with an undefined name. Also I'm Programmer of all shows we have (since this year).

For this new academic period I expect to approve all my signatures (obviously) and to take some extracurriculars at 4th semester, but I'm not being hopeful for this, because I dislike "to hope" and "to expect", I prefer to act.

Blog Assignment #1 - This was my life...

My little dog.


I was born in Santiago, Chile on the 5th of November, 1994. My parents were 18 and 19 years old when I born, so young to form a family. Now I live with my parents and my little brother, who born on the 3rd of August, 2002.

I had lived in this city all my life, so I studied here too. I did my basic education on 4 different schools, because we moved between houses a lot of times. Although, I did my medium education on only one school, on La Florida’s commune and I’m still living here. Now I’m studying my second year of Public Administration at the Universidad de Chile.

I like to play the guitar, sometimes singing too, drawing, reading, anime & manga, videogames, between other hobbies. In the past, I liked to play basketball too, but I threw it away when my sense of vision was deteriorated. For substitute it, sometimes I play some NBA videogames with my friends, isn’t the same but it’s funny
